Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 579: The Accidental Guess Is Terrifying
Chapter 579: The Accidental Guess Is Terrifying
After explaining the whole story of Guo Xiang and others, everything became clear.

None of these people are stupid.

They were the truly capable officials during the founding period of the Ming Dynasty.

Although they did not achieve the level of being recorded in history, they were definitely among the top officials.

Since these people are smart and capable, they will naturally not act recklessly on a daily basis.

Especially the emergence of the Friendship Hall!
At the beginning, they just wanted to flatter Mr. Hu and give him some indirect flattery.

I never thought that when I got inside, I found that I was the one who benefited!
Moreover, this place also adheres to the traditional routine of Mr. Hu.

Don't hide or conceal, just be open and aboveboard.

Then Guo Xiang and others were excited.

Damn, there is really meat to eat if you follow Master Hu.

And it's eating meat openly.

Look here, people of different ranks and yamen are everywhere.

The most comfortable place is the small courtyard at the back which can only be used by the royal family and the Hu family.

Nothing was said, yet everything was said in advance.

Master Hu, be loyal!
With such a place, not only did their lives become much better, but more importantly, they had more opportunities to communicate with each other.

We are all members of this club. After leaving office, we come here to play mahjong and drink tea. What's wrong with that?
As for chatting for a few minutes when we meet, so what?

But today, I met Master Hu and listened to his "teachings", which was an unexpected situation.

Guo Xiang looked at his colleagues who were looking at him hesitantly, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and carefully recalled what Master Hu had just reminded him, then slowly spoke.

"Since you have no objection to your Majesty's final decision on this matter, let's talk about Prime Minister Hu's other suggestions."

Guo Xiang didn't even open his eyes, but muttered to himself.

"Be honest in the past year and try to achieve some results."

"Who knows, good luck might fall on you one day!"

"After all, the Ming Dynasty is always short of people who can work!"

Having said that, Guo Xiang suddenly opened his eyes.

"Let's look at this one by one. For the first point, why is it within a year, and why do we have to produce results?"

"To put it bluntly, we are certainly not as good as Prime Minister Hu, but compared to other officials, we are at least one step ahead of them in terms of work, right?"

Everyone nodded proudly when they heard this.

Obviously, everyone is confident about this.

They have risen to the top by working hard.

Seeing that no one was talking, Guo Xiang could only express his own judgment.

"In my opinion, this actually reveals two points."

"First, something big must have happened, so Prime Minister Hu asked us to produce results quickly."

"Secondly, there must be a godsend opportunity here. Otherwise, why would Prime Minister Hu emphasize our achievements?"

"That means that in the eyes of Prime Minister Hu, what we have done before is not enough, and our achievements are not prominent enough. When this God-given opportunity comes, we can't grab enough benefits!"

Everyone looked at Guo Xiang in horror.

'Do you want to listen to what you are saying?'

In the officialdom, it is not an easy thing to achieve results.

Or at least, it's not just a matter of ability.

It takes three helpers to be a hero.

How can you go all the way alone?
Therefore, if you are in a hurry to achieve some results within a year, you can only ask for help from others. That will make you owe favors to others, or even to big people.

Sometimes it's hard to repay favors.

However, since Minister Guo Xiang figured it out from Mr. Hu's "guidance speech", everyone had a better idea of ​​what was going on.

Seeing that everyone was pondering, Guo Xiang talked about the second point on his own.

"The second thing is what Prime Minister Hu said. Maybe someday, good luck will befall us."

“This statement is very interesting!”

"We all know that if there is a large-scale promotion, or it happens suddenly, it usually means something big has happened."

"After all, if there is a promotion, the news will be leaked long ago."

"Otherwise, we won't know how to handle the handover, and subsequent arrangements will be troublesome."

"But this is a sudden benefit that comes from above. I can't think of any other place except your Majesty."

"Then there is a problem. Why would His Majesty suddenly want to promote so many people?"

"It can't be like the Li Shanchang case, where another group of people are killed, right?"

When talking about this matter, even though they were the ones who benefited from the case, they couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling and their bodies shivering.

This is really too exciting.

Large numbers of bosses and colleagues who were showing off and bragging in front of you a few days ago have become ghosts in the blink of an eye.

What the hell is this a joke.

It's so scary!

But there is no one here who doesn’t know the benefits of this.

If you can experience such a thing once, as long as you have made contributions and have not made any mistakes, you might really be blessed with good fortune.

After all, they've been through this once before.

When Guo Xiang said this, he had actually racked his brains.

"The last point is what Prime Minister Hu said, the Ming Dynasty is always short of people who can work!"

"In my opinion, this is to put our minds at ease!"

"If we follow the old routine, it may not make us rich, nor will it make us wealthy."

"But it will definitely allow us to live a stable life and have a prosperous career."

"In other words, Prime Minister Hu has clearly told us that His Majesty's preferences have not changed, and we are not on the wrong path. We just need to keep going!"

"Okay, I'm done. Think about it and see if there's anything missing."

Guo Xiang quickly picked up the teacup and poured himself a cup of only warm tea. However, there was no trace of the ease in his eyes.

He knew Master Hu quite well.

In fact, among all the people present, he was the only one who had chatted with Mr. Hu several times through work opportunities.

It was also because of this that he clearly grasped Mr. Hu's taboo.

As long as you don't let him stand against His Majesty, Mr. Hu is actually harmless.

Even just flattering him could make Master Hu happy for a long time.

Since I have spoken so vaguely today, there is only one reason: what Mr. Hu mentioned today involves Your Majesty.

Moreover, it was news related to His Majesty that he felt must never be told to anyone.

Thinking of this, Guo Xiang's heart suddenly moved.

Could it be that there is something wrong with His Majesty's health?
If this is true, then the prince will ascend to the throne, and that would indeed be an opportunity.

But, isn’t this conclusion a bit too scary?
