Chapter 889 Underestimated Gu Er

Because the old emperor was unwilling to establish a reserve in advance, this time the change of imperial power still experienced a lot of sacrifices.

The two families of King Yong and King Yan died in the old Zhao family, and hundreds of civil and military officials in the court were affected.

The biggest losses were the eunuchs, court ladies, soldiers who rebelled and rebelled in the imperial city.

It looked like there was no turmoil for a few days, but more than ten thousand people died one after another.

After all, he was the emperor, but he was unwilling to reconcile his son's death. The impact and price he paid were huge.

"After the official family ascends the throne, straighten out the court, and replenish the manpower, you and I will be able to relax."

Sheng Hong's period of time was not easy. The imperial city experienced two waves of military chaos and was destroyed a lot. Naturally, the Ministry of Industry also had a lot of things to do.

"The official residence is in Yuzhou. There is no root and bottomless regiment training. How can there be any manpower to supplement the imperial court?"

Before Zhao Zongquan took over Bianliang, he was doing group training in Yuzhou.

Zhao Zongquan's regiment trainer is just a mediocre official, without any assignments, and at the fifth rank, he doesn't care about anything at all.

After all, he is also a descendant of the old Zhao family, at least he has an empty official position, and can receive a share of money and food to maintain his life.

Because he has not gone through the stage of the prince, not even the stage of the candidate.

Zhao Zongquan is in the court, so it can be said that he has no foundation.

He has never held any rights, has no subordinates, and is completely unavailable.

Arranging for Gu Tingye, brother-in-law, son and other in-laws to join the army, and control some military power, there is no manpower to intervene in the court.

First of all, several of Zhao Zongquan's subordinates were not scholars from the imperial examination background, so they could not get mixed into the civil society.

Another one is that for the emperor, military power is obviously more important than fighting for the right to speak in the court.

The reason for rushing to the top position can be said to be embarrassing everywhere now.

"Then we can only wait for the officials to open the Enke. After the spring next year, the officials will naturally have someone available." Sheng Hong said.

After the new emperor takes office, he will naturally buy people's hearts.

Rewarding the army, amnesty for the world, holding Enke, buying warriors, sinners, and literati, basically covered all classes of the Great Zhou.

"Even if Enke is opened, these new subjects will not be of great use for a while, and it is impossible for people to relax immediately."

The problem of redundant officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty was very serious, and there were many officials.

But most of these undispatched officials relied on the shadow of their ancestors to seal their official positions.

There is an official position that means that the status can be higher, and you can receive a salary in the court.

None of them are people who do things, and many of them are completely incapable of governing.

Because of the merits of their ancestors, it is the least harmful result to let these people receive a single share of salary and then leave them idle.

More importantly, these people, like the people in the court, are not rewarded by Zhao Zongquan. Whether they can be trusted is a problem.

Zhao Zongquan was also considered lucky, there were so many vacant seats in the court when he first came to power.

Of course, I will not waste the opportunity, and I must try my best to arrange my own manpower to top it.

Even if Zhao Zongquan barely screens out some available people, it will take time.

So these days have passed, and there are still many vacancies in various yamen, which have not been replenished.

"Extraordinary times, extraordinary things, be diligent during this time, and the officials can see it."

During the battle for the crown prince, Sheng Hong did not take a position, but after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, Sheng Hong's attitude towards the new emperor was still very positive.

"Yes, this is indeed an opportunity."

No matter how much power the new emperor can wield, it is still no problem to promote an official of Sheng Hong's level.

……

For the old emperor's funeral, and for the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, these two things were busy for a month.

Things related to etiquette are too complicated, and these things are the same as conferring a prince.

Da Zhou didn't have a few experiences, and the previous few ceremonies were not standardized and thorough enough.

So this time, it will be very troublesome to prepare.It is still necessary to consult various classics in order to determine the regulations one by one.

After waiting for Zhao Zongquan to ascend the throne and completely become a reasonable and legal emperor, Sheng Changbai only had a few days of buffer time.

Some time ago, there were too many things, and Sheng Changbai's Xiu Mu was cancelled.

Let's rest now, make up for Xiu Mu, and stay at home for a few days with peace of mind.

The first thing is to go to the farm outside the city to see how the potatoes are being harvested.

When Sheng Changbai returned to Beijing, he brought back the first harvest of potatoes.

After returning to Beijing, he directly arranged for someone to plant the potatoes in the farm, and now it's just the time to harvest.

Now after two crops of planting, there are more than 2000 catties of potatoes.

Starting next year, you can consider selling some of them and try to promote them.

After Sheng Changbai took over Wang Ruofu's Zhuangzi, the economic benefits have improved a lot.

Naturally, the price for taking out grain seeds and selling grain is not the same.

Although the money can't do any big things, it is enough for Sheng Changbai's usual expenses.

The second thing is to urge Sheng Lao San to study and check Sheng Lao San's schoolwork.

This was the task sent by Sheng Hong, and the reason why the new emperor succeeded to start Enke, and suddenly it was time for the imperial examination.

It was necessary for Sheng Changbai to help Sheng Changfeng, sharpen his guns before the battle, and strengthen the assault.

Because it was still the funeral of the old emperor, marriage was forbidden among the people.

It's not appropriate for an official family like the Sheng family to talk about these things. The marriages of the three Lans have all come to a standstill.

Banquets are also not allowed, and most of the various entertainment venues in Bianliang are also closed.

There was really nothing to play and do, so Sheng Changbai took over the task of educating Sheng's youngest.

After all, when Sheng Changbai got married, Sheng's third child was very busy and helped.

Now that Sheng Changbai has time, he doesn't mind helping Sheng Laosan.

It has been two years since the last imperial examination, counting from Qiuwei.

To be honest, Sheng Changfeng's progress still did not meet expectations.

Sheng Hong had obviously neglected to discipline Sheng Changfeng in the past two years.

It was Sheng Changbai who gave Sheng Changfeng a surprise attack. Sheng Changfeng had to depend on his luck if he wanted to be a Jinshi.

Even if he was lucky, he won a Jinshi with a lower ranking, and he had no future, and it didn't mean much to the Sheng family.

So Sheng Changbai didn't help Sheng Changfeng guess the questions in a surprise attack, but just taught Sheng Lao San some writing skills.

After all, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, so there must be traces to follow in terms of policy theory.

This time the imperial examination, Sheng Laosan still focused on accumulating experience.

The third thing is that Sheng Changbai invited Gu Tingye to drink tea, and he still wanted to find out what Gu Tingye had experienced during this time.

"After returning to Beijing for so long, the two of us finally have time to sit down and chat."

"Isn't it because Commander Gu has been too busy since you entered Beijing?"

During this period of time, the two did not meet in private, and not only Sheng Changbai was busy, but Gu Tingye was even more busy.

Zhao Zongquan has no foundation in Bianliang at all. If Gu Tingye had not helped him to control the military power, Zhao Zongquan and his son would not even be able to sleep.

During this period of time, Gu Tingye has also been busy in the army to grasp the military power in his hands.

"It's not that I'm busy alone. I've invited you several times. You don't have time."

"You are with a group of people from Yuzhou, and I'm going to go there, wouldn't that be clinging to the powerful?"

After Zhao Zongquan came to power, he successfully explained what it meant to be one person attaining the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

As long as they can be related to Zhao Zongquan, or even have some relationship, they will all be sealed as officials.

"Didn't I invite you once when I was alone?"

"That's because I'm really busy, let's not talk about me, let's talk about you. If you really don't make a show, you have already become a blockbuster. It's really impressive to see you after three days."

This is also the evaluation of Gu Tingye by other people in Bianjing City.

Because Zhao Zongquan really didn't have any talents under his command, the previous guards were all made generals to lead a guard.

Therefore, Gu Tingye is Zhao Zongquan's subordinate, the most talented and most respected person.

Gu Tingye suddenly changed from a dissolute and unfilial son who hated dogs to the number one celebrity in front of the new emperor.

This change cannot be said to be insignificant, it is completely a two-stage reversal.

"Where, I'm still me, no different from before, others don't understand me, don't you understand me?"

"I really don't understand that well. Tell me, why did you go to the official's house?"

Gu Tingye's essence has not changed much. The change in identity is completely due to bad luck.

"It all started when I went south to search for Mannia last year..."

When Mannia took Brother Chang away, Gu Tingye set off from Bianliang to Yuzhou, where he ran into Zhao Zongquan and his son who were hunted down.

After saving the two, the two sides formed a friendship, and then Gu Tingye bid farewell to the two and continued to look for a son in the south.

In Xuzhou where Sheng Changbai lived, he spent a while without getting any news. After leaving Xuzhou, Gu Tingye went to Caobang again.

Then civil unrest broke out in the south, Gu Tingye asked Zhao Zongquan to write a letter of recommendation and joined the army to quell the chaos.

Since then, Gu Tingye has been developing in the army.

Then Gu Tingye returned to Bianliang in August, and before Sheng Changbai got married, Gu Tingye returned to the army.

After staying in the army for a few more days, after accepting a job, Gu Tingye went to Yuzhou to find Zhao Zongquan.

Just in time for Yan Wang to send someone to assassinate Zhao Zongquan, Gu Tingye stopped and brought Zhao Zongquan to Bianjing to ask the old emperor to sue Yan Wang.

Then on the road, I was lucky enough to meet the messenger sent by the old emperor to find Zhao Zongquan to rescue him with the military talisman and canonized edict.

The next step is simple, just transfer the forbidden army and enter the imperial city to suppress the rebellion.

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Sheng Changbai wanted to admit that Gu Tingye had a lot of luck.

But Sheng Changbai still heard a lot about this matter, including Gu Tingye's deliberate manipulation.

Just after leaving Bianjing, it was an accidental luck to save Zhao Zongquan and his son in Yuzhou.

But after that, when anyone can write a recommendation letter, Gu Tingye has to find Zhao Zongquan who has no rights.

Continuing to befriend and entangle with Zhao's father and son, Gu Tingye made a point deliberately.

Although Gu Tingye's IQ and scheming cannot be compared with his elder brother Gu Tingyeyu.

But compared with ordinary people, he is still much smarter and more scheming.

After all, it was a scheming exercised in the Ningyuan Hou Mansion where there are [-] minds per capita.

It may be that after saving Zhao Zongquan, Gu Tingye discovered that he had the opportunity to make a contribution to the dragon.

After being mad at his father, it was only with such monstrous achievements that Gu Tingye was able to turn himself around.

That's why Gu Tingye has been developing on Huainan Road not far from Yuzhou.

In August, Gu Tingye ran back to Bianliang, and it was no big problem to visit his daughter.

But Gu Tingye is usually a very loyal person. When Sheng Changbai was about to get married in a few days, he left in a hurry before Sheng Changbai got married.

It is obviously not in line with Gu Tingye's past style. Gu Tingye is not a rule-abiding person in his work, and this simple military rule of the Xiang army cannot restrain Gu Tingye at all.

Now let Sheng Changbai think back, Gu Tingye obviously heard the news in Bianliang that the old emperor's health was about to fail.

He hurried back and went to Yuzhou to find Zhao Zongquan and waited for the opportunity.

Zhao Zongquan was a cautious person, even if he was assassinated by an assassin sent by King Yan.

But he never thought of causing trouble, Gu Tingye insisted on stopping Zhao Zongquan.

When the old emperor was critically ill, he came to Bianliang.

Sheng Changbai really couldn't believe that Gu Tingye was completely concerned about Zhao Zongquan's safety.

All three are political people, and none of their words are credible.

It is said that they are going to sue the old emperor, but Zhao Zongquan, father and son and Gu Tingye obviously understand it.

In this sensitive period, running to Bianliang is clearly to intervene in the battle for the crown prince.

These three came to Bianliang, and wanted to wait for an opportunity nearby, to see if King Yong and King Yan would compete for the position of heir, and both sides would suffer, showing an opportunity to take advantage of.

It's just that these things can be done but can't be said, and it's just a tacit understanding.

As for what Zhao Zongquan was still unwilling to accept after receiving the imperial edict and military talisman.

This is all hypocrisy of politicians, a trick of three words and three prayers.

After all, Confucianism plays the same game, even those who worship a prime minister or high-ranking official must play this game.

This is the position of the crown prince in the world.

If Zhao Zongquan accepts it too directly, it will inevitably make people feel a little ugly.

It seems superfluous to superfluous, but in this way.

Zhao Zongquan became the crown prince who was forced to accept the position of prince for the sake of the country and the country.

The position of the crown prince has become easier to accept, and it is much more legitimate.

"Zhonghuai, I always thought I was looking up to you, but I didn't expect to look down on you."

Sheng Changbai spoke the truth this time.

Since the two met, Gu Tingye was deceived by his own Mannia, by his stepmother Mrs. Qin, and by Gu Tingyu. He looked like a fool.

Although Sheng Changbai knew that Gu Tingye was very smart, it was difficult for Sheng Changbai to overestimate Gu Tingye seeing Gu Tingye being played around.

But this time, Sheng Changbai had a clear understanding of Gu Tingye's scheming.

Things have been changed a lot by Sheng Changbai, and many changes have taken place.

In the end, Gu Tingye still took this result, made the contribution of the dragon, and successfully overcame the mountains.

Although it is inseparable from Zhao Zongquan and Gu Tingye's dog luck.

But there are still many plans and calculations by Gu Tingye.

If Gu Tingye hadn't taken the initiative to plan all these things, Zhao Zongquan and Gu Tingye wouldn't have been able to afford such benefits.
