Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Seeing a junior official of the seventh rank barge in without thinking, Hiroshi Nakatani, the director of the anthology department of the Ministry of Officials, was annoyed, and shouted: "What are you doing?"

The person who came came smiled: "Gu Sheren, long time no see. I planned to visit you during the Spring Festival. But you have a high threshold and a lot of guests. I am afraid that others will say that I want to go your way and hurt your reputation." Clear reputation."

Zhongshu once said that there is actually a source.

It turned out that Gu Hong worked as a scholar for half a year after the Hanlin Academy was closed. Therefore, people who knew him called him "Gu Sheren".

Gu Hong looked up and said with a smile: "So it's Zi Qiao, let's not talk about who has a higher threshold and who has a lower threshold. Your place has been very lively recently. I want to go to see you too, but I'm afraid of queuing up!"

Both of them laughed.

The host and guest sat down and watched tea.

Su Mu made a great contribution to bringing down Liu Jin for the civil official group this time, which can be regarded as avenging Xie Qian's family. Gu Hong is also extremely enthusiastic about Su Mu.

After talking for a long time, Su Mu was not in a hurry to ask about his own affairs, but instead said, "What happened to Guan Jizong just now?"

Gu Hong paid attention: "This person knows Zi Qiao?"

Su Mu: "Some origins, I owe him favors."

Gu Hong said "cough!": "This Guan Jizong, with your background, why didn't he say it earlier, instead he went around looking for people to intercede, isn't he confused?"

"what happened?"

Gu Hong smiled bitterly: "Zi Qiao, your acquaintance is really speechless. As far as I know, he is almost 70 years old. According to the official selection system of the country, he has reached the age of retirement and can no longer be appointed. But he came to my official, saying that he was only 50 years old, but he was just old-fashioned. According to the people below, when the previous party was appointed as Cangzhou magistrate, his age was approaching. This official is the worst People lied to me, and it happened right away. I knew there was such a relationship, and you just said it, and it’s okay to do another job.”

Su Mu: "According to the system, you don't have to look at my face. If you really want to help, you can. But don't send it to a rich place like Cangzhou. Be careful and make people dissatisfied."

Gu Hong: "What do you think, Joe?"

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered that he was going to gain military merit in Datong in the future, and it was time to make arrangements there.

He said, "Is there any place in Datong? My students will go there to serve in the military. If there are people in the place, it will be convenient to do things and contribute to the country."

"Datong still lacks a magistrate, so it's not difficult to let him go." Gu Hong pondered for a moment, then nodded straightforwardly: "Let him go there to be the magistrate. Anyway, that place is full of soldiers, and being a magistrate will also be angry." , everyone doesn’t like to go, I’m worrying about who to send!.”

Speaking of this, Gu Hong looked at Su Mu with some suspicion: "Brother Ziqiao, generally speaking, those who are sent to this kind of place to be Zhengyin officials are to support them. Like Guan Jizong, when he is old, he will continue to stay in Cangzhou the most Okay, is it necessary to send them to Datong?"

"Let's go to Datong, and I hope Mr. Gu will make it easier for me."

Gu Hong thought for a while: "I'll ask Yang Butang for instructions later, there shouldn't be any problem."

Su Mu was happy in his heart, and he cupped his hands and said jokingly: "Then I will thank you for Guan Jizong, how about I send some gifts to thank you?"

"No, this joke is not good. Just treat me to a drink. Let's have lunch today, at Yuquan Pavilion. I have been too tired these days, and I haven't had a full lunch."

Yuquan Tower is located on the street opposite the imperial city. The place is not big, but it is also elegant. The food tastes good. Su Mu has been there several times before.

"Okay, that's it, I'll wait for you there after I'm done."

After chatting for a few more words, it was probably because the business was too busy, so Gu Hong said: "Let's talk about Zi Qiao's appointment. The Imperial Academy has been closed for three years, and it should be of great use. It's a pity..."

Having said that, he looked sad and shook his head.

Seeing his expression, Su Mu had a bad feeling: "Brother Gu, please tell me."

Gu Hong suddenly patted the table and said angrily: "Stupid, today is really stupid, close to a villain, far away from a gentleman, and look like a gentleman."

He suddenly exploded: "Zi Qiao, you put down the rebellion of King Anhua, stabilized the situation in the northwest, and made such a great contribution to the country. Let alone Liu Jin, and return my Ming Dynasty to a bright future. It is my Ming Dynasty. Whether it is military strategy or financial management skills, they are all top-notch. No matter what, you should go to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War to be a servant to be regarded as a person who can give full play to his talents."

Su Mu: "The Son of Heaven means to ask Su Mu to serve in the Ministry of War."

"It's indeed going to the Ministry of War, it's a pity..."

Gu Hong put a letter of appointment in front of Su Mu: "A few years ago, there was news that Ren Ziqiao was to be the right servant of the Ministry of War, at least he had to be a military officer. You are happy. Now, you are greatly disappointed. You are a fool, you are a fool!"

As a courtier, it is disrespectful to talk about the emperor behind his back, which shows how angry Gu Hong is.

Su Mu hurriedly picked it up and took a look, there was a buzzing sound in his head, and he almost lost consciousness.

The expected right servant of the Ministry of War, or the military selection department doctor, did not become a reality.

In the position column, Huo Ran is the ambassador of the Ministry of War.

The main duties of the so-called military ambassadors are to deliver official documents and receive local military officers who come to Beijing. To put it bluntly, they are the director of the military post office and the director of the military commission guest house.

The name looks quite big, but the grade is extremely low, only a grade nine.

"Revenge, it's definitely revenge!" A thought flashed through Su Mu's mind: "Liu Jin's death was, to put it bluntly, my Su Mu's fault. Zhengde and Liu Jin have a close relationship. Pushing me to the end is definitely to vent the anger in my heart."

"Zhu Houzhao... Good boy of Zhengde, is there someone who can bury someone like this?" Su Mu was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the official document turned white due to the force, thinking in his heart: "The emperor this time Really hate me!"

Gu Hong: "It's absurd for a foolish ruler to be an official who is a top-ranked official who was compiled by a dignified Imperial Academy and who was born as the No.

Seeing that Su Mu was very angry, he sighed and comforted him: "Zi Qiao doesn't need to be angry. His Majesty the Emperor is young and energetic, and he acts nonsense. Maybe it will be fine in a few days. Your Majesty still has a will, and your rank will be upgraded." , is the sixth grade. The cabinet elder Yang Ge also said that he is going to make a note, and ask the emperor to take back this decree."

Hearing what he said, Su Mu's heart moved: I was asked to be the ambassador of the same embassy, ​​and I was promoted to the sixth rank. It seems that it is just the temper of the Zhengde envoy.If he really wanted to punish me, Su Mu, he would just be dismissed and driven out of the capital.Or, let Jin Yiwei pick a mistake by the way, put me in prison, ransack my house and destroy my family, just a word from him, so why bother?From this point of view, he is forcing me to bow my head and admit my mistake, which shows that the emperor still has me, Su Mu, in his heart.Well, let's be an ambassador for a few days, let's see and talk.

This Zhengde is really a child!This time, it really gave me a big surprise.

Su Mu shook his head helplessly, and the anger in his heart also subsided a lot.
