Chapter 1316 I rely on the imperial examination to get ahead and become a big official in the frontier (23)
"Master Gu, you should avoid hanging around the Supreme Being in the future. If this reminds the Supreme Being of you, he will inevitably take you to Kangzhou."
However, after that, the Supreme Leader sent Gu Mo over every three days, and the conversation basically revolved around Kangzhou.
Colleagues in the Hanlin Academy even felt that Gu Mo's future was in danger.
But half a month later, Gu Mo was promoted from an editor in the Hanlin Academy to a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, directly promoted from a seventh-rank minor official to a fifth-rank official.
You must know that it is very difficult to get promoted in the government. Some people work for a lifetime and stay in that position until they die.
But in just half a month, Gu Mo had gone from seventh grade to fifth grade.
Moreover, the editor was a minor official drafting documents, but the lecturer gave lectures to the emperor and the concubine, and had direct access to the position of the Supreme and the future Supreme. This shows that the Supreme valued Gu Mo.
It doesn't look like they want to bring Gu Mo to Kangzhou, but instead they want to promote Gu Mo?
Colleagues congratulated Gu Mo one after another.
Gu Mo just thanked him with that honest face.
Now that she was promoted, she didn't have much money to buy new official uniforms, so she still rented one from a store that specializes in renting official uniforms.
It doesn't fit a bit, so it still looks weird on me.
However, Gu Mo had a hunch that she might not be able to wear this fifth-grade official uniform for long.
Sure enough, seven months later, the local official who had been sent to Kangzhou was beaten to death by bandits for suppressing bandits. Kangzhou was in chaos and urgently needed a courageous and capable official to calm down the situation.
To be sent abroad as a Beijing official, you need to take a selection examination. Only those with excellent test scores are eligible to go abroad.
If it were anywhere else, the officials in the capital would definitely be scrambling to get good grades in order to get this lucrative job, but in Kangzhou...
Forget it, they don’t seem to be that capable, and they can better display their talents by hanging around in Fengjing...
However, the Supreme Being ordered an examination to be held. If they did not take part, the Supreme Being would inevitably suspect that they were living off the Emperor's salary but refused to share the burden for the Emperor, so they all signed up enthusiastically and deliberately failed in the examination.
Look, it’s not that we don’t want to go, we really don’t have the ability to be local officials.
So after the exam, only Gu Mo, a fifth-grade Hanlin, performed at a normal level.
The Supreme Lord couldn't see the frivolous nature of those officials, but she couldn't do anything about them. After all, it is human nature to fear death. As an emperor, she couldn't always force her ministers to die, right?
When she saw Gu Mo's answer sheet, she was stunned for a moment. She never thought that there could be such an honest person who knew exactly where Kangzhou was, yet he could be so arrogant and rush to die.
She asked Gu Mo, "Gu Aiqing, are you not afraid of going to Kangzhou and never coming back?"
Gu Mo had an honest face, "I will share your Majesty's worries, and I will have nothing to fear."
Supreme, "..."
this……
Aiqing is so honest, I really can't bear it.
The Supreme Being was still hesitating, but the ministers began to kneel down.
"Your Majesty, although Mr. Gu is just a scholar, his courage and courage are not inferior to those of the men from the frontier. Please fulfill Mr. Gu's patriotism."
"Your Majesty, please grant your favor to Lord Gu!"
I have only worked with Gu Mo for seven or eight months, but the court officials had to praise that Gu Mo is a rare honest person.
Although they cheated honest people, they were a little bit intolerant of it.
But if Gu Mo doesn't go, it will be their turn. A poor Taoist is worse than a dead Taoist friend.
The Supreme He hesitated again and again, but finally agreed.
"Gu Aiqing, I have entrusted you with the great responsibility of Kangzhou. You must not let me down."
It doesn't matter how good Gu Mo is, as long as Kangzhou is not in chaos.
And...don't die too early.
Gu Mo continued to be honest and said, "I am going to Kangzhou. Within five years, your majesty will definitely return a Kangzhou where you can live and work in peace and contentment and where all the barbarians will surrender."
Supreme, "..."
I'm so touched, Gu Aiqing is such a good lover.
Ministers, "..."
If you can live for more than five years, you have to burn high incense. Being too honest is a disease, Sir!
It was decided that Gu Mo would go to Kangzhou, and his official rank suddenly jumped from the fifth rank to the third rank.
She went from seventh rank to third rank official in one year, but no one envied her, only full sympathy.
She was quite popular in the Hanlin Academy, so when she left, her colleagues showed their utmost sincerity and sent various health care products, hoping that she could rely on these health care products when she was half-dead by the bandits.
Continue life.
"Master Gu, Kangzhou is dangerous. You must be careful. It's important to save your life."
Gu Mo, "Actually, you don't have to be so sad. Maybe my death is not my fate, but the fate of those bandits and water thieves in Kangzhou."
Colleagues, "..."
She was obviously talking about cheating, but because of Gu Mo's honest face, it made people think that she was stating a fact seriously.
Gu Mo worked hard all the way from Fengjing to Kangzhou, and it took him five days to get there.
When he was about to arrive in Kangzhou, Gu Mo met an official sent by the Governor's Yamen to pick him up.
When the official saw that Gu Mo was traveling lightly and with an honest face, he was still thinking that this new governor seemed to be even more unreliable than the previous ones, and he probably wouldn't be able to sit in this position for long.
Just as I was thinking this, a group of bandits suddenly appeared and started hacking away at random.
The officers were no match for these tough gangsters. They were retreating steadily, shouting at Gu Mo to run away.
Gu Mo picked up two scimitars, rushed forward and slashed at them, and in a short time, they cut off the heads on the ground.
When the tough bandits saw how ferocious she was, their calves trembled with fear and they ran away quickly.
Gu Moque wiped his hands with leaves and looked at the stunned followers and officials.
"What's wrong?"
The officers came to their senses, swallowed their saliva, raised their hands and said respectfully: "My lord, you are brave."
Gu Mo, "To be honest, I planned to take the martial arts exam at that time, but the martial arts exam was too easy, so I had to settle for the next best thing and take the literary exam."
He glanced at the officers lightly again and said, "I also ranked first in the literary test."
It's just that I didn't tell the officials directly that I am a man of literary and military skills, so please give me some clues.
Officials, "..."
Gu Mo spoke again at this time, "Take all these heads and treat them as a meeting gift from the Governor to all my colleagues."
Officials, "..."
Your greeting gift is really scary.
Sure enough, when Gu Mo reported to the Governor's Mansion with the heads of more than a dozen bandits, the local officials waiting here were frightened.
The officials then boasted about Gu Mo's bravery just now, which made these local officials feel sad.
They didn't know whether Governor Gu was capable of governing Kangzhou, but they were certain that he was murderous.
No, this is a show of force from the very beginning.
Because of this intimidation, the local officials seemed quite cooperative with Gu Mo's work.
After Gu Mo became familiar with government affairs, he immediately began to reform Kangzhou.
