Looking back on the days when stars held the moon and flowers bloomed, Mr. Zhang just felt like he was dreaming.
He laughed at himself, but suddenly he heard someone calling him, "Master Zhang, Master Zhang, wait a minute!"
When he turned around, he saw a little eunuch running towards him with his head protruding.
As a foreign relative, the one group Master Zhang dislikes the most is the eunuchs. He frowned, "What? Zhang has already been demoted, and he is still not willing to accept it after nine thousand years?"
"Master Zhang misunderstood. It was not Jiu Qiansui who sent me, but His Majesty."
Master Zhang was stunned, and the young eunuch said: "Your Majesty said that Master Zhang offended Jiu Qian Sui, and Jiu Qian Sui insisted on putting Master Zhang to death, and the state leader was helpless. Your Majesty really couldn't bear to say that Master Zhang is such a talented person.
The pillars of society should use their talents to serve the country and the people, and be loyal to the country, instead of dying in partisan disputes. Your Majesty has no choice but to..."
The little eunuch sighed, "Your Majesty can only try his best to save Mr. Zhang's life. Mr. Zhang will just manage it well in Bianzhou. If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely be able to return to the capital..."
Mr. Zhang was a little unable to recover for a moment. In fact, he knew that if the emperor did not suddenly intervene and demote him this time, he would indeed die in this partisan dispute.
No matter how reluctant Zhou Guozhang was to let him go, he would not pay a price beyond his ability to keep him.
He didn't know why the emperor did this, but he had no gratitude for the emperor's move.
Because the emperor's presence was too weak, no matter what he did or said, everyone habitually ignored his existence.
However, now, the emperor specially sent someone to tell him so bluntly: I saved your life, and you don't have to be grateful unless you die immediately.
Such a straightforward bribery and win-over would definitely have been dismissed by Mr. Zhang in the past.
But now, he has no choice based on his own likes and dislikes.
Now that he has offended Wei Fengqing and been abandoned by the Zhou family, the only opportunity he can seize is the emperor's olive branch.
Mr. Zhang had already made some decisions in his heart, so he could only comfort himself by thinking that although the emperor's method of winning over people was not very clever, he still knew how to win over people's hearts, so at least he could still count on it.
"Go back and tell Your Majesty that although Mr. Zhang is far away in Bianzhou, he never dares to forget His Majesty's kindness. If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely repay His Majesty's grace of rescuing him."
Mr. Zhang was afraid that what he said was too subtle and the emperor would not understand, so he could only speak more straightforwardly.
The little eunuch laughed twice, then took out a strange-shaped object from his sleeve and stuffed it at him.
"Master Zhang, Your Majesty said that this thing can save your life at critical moments, just hold it."
On the way to Bianzhou, Mr. Zhang kept thinking about the thing that Gu Mo gave him, and finally discovered that this thing did have a hidden secret and turned out to be a hidden weapon.
In the end, he relied on this hidden weapon to avoid being chased by his relatives along the way.
After all, he knew too much! Even if he was demoted to the border state, Zhou Guozhang would not be relieved.
Only dead people cannot speak.
Now he had no choice at all. Unless he was willing to give up his grand ambitions and become a small official in the border state, he could only rely on the emperor.
And if he wants to make a comeback against the wind, gain the emperor's trust, and stand at the pinnacle of power again, he must rely on his own ability to achieve political achievements and give the emperor an excuse to transfer him back. Otherwise, he can give up at any time with the emperor.
After Mr. Zhang was demoted, a position became vacant in the imperial court. The Wei faction and the foreign relatives faction started fighting over this position. Zhou Guozhang and Wei Fengqing did not shake hands and make peace just because they became ancestors and grandsons.
They fought to the death. After fighting for a long time, Gu Mo made a decision and directly let an official from the neutral faction take over. He also said that it was to resolve the struggle between the two factions and for the good of both factions.ωωw.
The struggle between the two factions remained at a stalemate, and if they continued to fight, the other party would not be able to gain any favor anyway, so they finally acquiesced to Gu Mo's handling method.
The neutral official who was pushed up by Gu Mo was stunned.
Others were happy when they were promoted, but he was in despair, a total injustice.
He obviously just wants to hang out and drink until he retires! He doesn’t want to participate in the political struggle of these people who want to kill people! Why do you have to push him to come up?!
He was desperate, so he wrote to Gu Mo several times, saying that he was not qualified for this position due to his limited talents and limited knowledge, and hoped that Gu Mo would send him to his previous position.
Gu Mo ignored him. At this time, the Wei sect and the foreign relatives sect came to win over him. He became even more desperate and directly asked to see Gu Mo.
Gu Mo smiled and gave him two ways.
Either resign and leave, or work hard for me.
Being an official is to make decisions for the people and be loyal to the country. Since you have chosen this path, you must be aware of taking responsibility.
But you only want to enjoy the tax revenue from the people, and you only want to enjoy the status and benefits of an official, but you don't want to do practical things, and turn a blind eye to the messy partisanship in the court. Are you really that easy to mess around in your life?
Since you don't want to do a good job, then get out.
If you have no ambition, there will always be someone with ambition to replace you.
Just like the original person, if he didn't act well as an emperor and just wanted to live his life, the end result would be that he died cowardly, and no one in his clan would be spared.
At this moment, the minister saw an unprecedented coldness on the usually kind-faced emperor's face, and suddenly couldn't help but shudder, and no longer dared to raise any objection.
At this time, the Wei sect and the Waiqi sect continued to fight in various ways, but Gu Mo did not panic at all.
But the queen was more panicked and kept trying to mediate, hoping that Zhou Guozhang and Wei Fengqing could live in peace.
But she didn't know that this was not a conflict between Zhou Guozhang and Wei Fengqing, but a conflict between two interest groups, and it was not a matter of their two party leaders doing whatever they wanted.
And when they fight, a few cannon fodder will always be sacrificed in the end.
Gu Mo always stood up when the cannon fodder was about to be sacrificed, demoted them directly, and demoted them to the poorest and most remote place in the new country, and then sent a young eunuch when they left the capital in desolation.
Go see him off.
The little eunuch knew the same farewell lines by heart.
The little eunuch gave him the same concealed weapon for protection, but his hands were soft.
Alas, Your Majesty seems to be doing something secretly poking fun at the smallest possible cost, causing widespread fraud and scandal!
And he is the middleman for this big thing! Once the big thing is accomplished, his contribution is comparable to that of Cong Long. The little eunuch is very proud and excited, and the more he works, the more energetic he is. Every time he recites the lines, he uses his twelve
Excellent acting skills, and the acting can be called true feelings.
Some emotional ministers were stunned by Gu Mo's help in times of need. When they left, they clapped their heads in the direction of the palace and swore to the sky that they would not let down the emperor's kindness.
