Chapter 1325 I rely on the imperial examination to get ahead and become a frontier official (32)
However, when the new monarch came to the throne, she wanted to develop her ambitions and create a new career. The old ministers who were content with the status quo were obviously not willing to take risks with her, which would inevitably lead to irreconcilable conflicts between the monarch and his ministers.
Therefore, the former emperor who is good at the art of emperors usually trains a few young ministers with outstanding talents and virtues for the new emperor before his death, so that the new emperor can have people around him to call upon him after he takes office.
This is why there is a saying that there is one emperor and one courtier.
Obviously, Gu Mo was the counselor that the Supreme Court had found for the Crown Princess. Leaving her outside to govern the five states for so many years was not only a training exercise, but also to prevent her from getting too involved with the court officials, which would make it difficult for the new king to use her.
Gu Mo also knew this, so he began to explain the matters at hand to the officials, and when everything was settled, he would set off back to Fengjing.
All the confidants who had been with her for many years turned out to be unworthy of Gu Mo.
"Your Excellency has been away for many years and has watched the poor Kangzhou and Qiongnan develop into the largest food states in the Yue Dynasty. He has also taken care of the other four states in an orderly manner and has gained the support of the people. Now he wants to give away the achievements.
It’s really aggrieved to go back to the unfamiliar court in Fengjing..."
Is being an official in the capital the same as being a high official in a feudal territory?
When you are a feudal official, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You are the earth emperor of this place and have the greatest authority. You can do whatever you want.
For the sake of Fengjing, the emperor is surrounded by ministers of the same rank as you. Each power is divided among several people, and you are always criticized.
What's more, under Gu Mo's governance, the Five Prefectures have become a real bastard. To transfer Gu Mo back at this moment is to take away the fruits of Gu Mo's hard-earned victory without any effort.
Gu Mo just smiled. No emperor could let his ministers monopolize power outside.
It is already an exception for the Supreme Being to allow her to monopolize power in the five states for so many years.
If she doesn't go back, the Supreme Being will inevitably suspect that she wants to support her troops and respect herself.
When the time comes, let alone assisting the new monarch, the Supreme Lord will definitely kill her before he dies, lest the new monarch ascends the throne and cannot suppress her.
"I came to this world to serve as an official. I don't want power, wealth or honor. I just go wherever I need it. Others don't remember my good deeds, but the people will always remember me."
Yes, the people will know who is really doing practical things and really treating the people well.
Therefore, not long after the news spread that Gu Mo was returning to Fengjing, Gu Mo's Governor's Mansion was blocked.
Countless people came to ask for help, hoping that Gu Mo would continue to stay in Wuzhou and not leave.
The officers and soldiers wanted to evacuate the crowd, but more and more people came towards the Governor's Palace and refused to leave no matter what.
Gu Mo came back from work and saw this scene. He jumped off his horse and calmed the people's emotions first, saying:
"Official transfer is a decision made by the Supreme Being after weighing the pros and cons. It is a common thing. However, even if I am in another position, I can still do things for the people. Don't be impatient."
After all, these people have been tortured too hard by corrupt officials. Now that a person like her who is not greedy and is dedicated to the welfare of the people has appeared, they really don't want her to leave.
Who knows who will take over after she leaves.
Will they not be able to go back to the past by then?
Gu Mo also assured them that the officials who would succeed them would all be honest and good officials, and she would take care of them so that corrupt officials would not harm the people.
Moreover, the anti-corruption mechanism she established in the five states has no chance for corrupt officials to grow.
"The mountains are high and the rivers are long. We will definitely have a chance to meet each other in the future. Please come back."
Although they were still reluctant to leave, they listened to Gu Mo's gentle persuasion and slowly dispersed.
But on the day Gu Mo left, they came to see each other off again, taking out what they thought were the best things at home to give to Gu Mo.
Gu Mo took some symbolically and waved goodbye to the people.
The officials looked at this huge crowd and felt very shocked.
"This feeling and scene are rare in this lifetime."
"An official should be like Mr. Gu, who comes with the stars and the moon towards the sun and leaves with the breeze on his sleeves. It seems that he has suffered many grievances, but the people and history will never let her down."
Gu Mo returned to Fengjing, met with the emperor, and reported on the government affairs in the five states in the past ten years. After resting for a while, he began to deal with cabinet affairs.
Ranking in the cabinet is based on seniority. No matter how great her success was in the five states, she has not done so here.
She was the last one to come in, so she had to follow the cabinet rules, be a quiet and transparent person, and obey the instructions of the chief minister in everything.
However, it doesn't matter that the cabinet can't talk for the time being. Her most important task at the moment is actually to establish a good relationship with the concubine first according to the supreme will.
This princess is an honest and kind-hearted person, not just pretending to be kind, but kind-hearted from the bottom of her heart.
This kind of kindness has brought her a lot of good popularity. Even if she is just a stranger, if she stays with her for no more than a quarter of an hour, she will become a friend who talks about everything.
Today's Yue Dynasty, after experiencing more than ten years of militancy before the present Supreme Being, doesn't it need such a gentle and honest king?
This is exactly why the Supreme values her.
Gu Mo also got along very well with her, and because of Gu Mo's reputation outside, she respected Gu Mo very much. Whenever she encountered something difficult to figure out, she would go to Gu Mo first to answer questions.
While working in the position of Tai Tu, Gu Mo also handled the government affairs quite beautifully in other positions. While receiving a lot of praise from the Supreme Being, his prestige among the scholars among the people also gradually increased.
She developed steadily and continued her career path.
However, Qu Ruochu didn't feel so good.
She is eating a bowl of noodles now. The noodle stall owner is talking about Gu Mo, and the noodle eaters are also talking about Gu Mo.
While walking around the streets, the people studying and carrying burdens around me, whether they were princes, nobles or peddlers, were still talking about Gu Mo.
Gu Mo Gu Mo Gu Mo, these two words buzzed around her ears all the time every day.
There is a saying that goes well, the most painful torture an enemy can give you is when you have accomplished nothing. Your enemy is famous all over the world and you can hear others praising her wherever you go.
Now Qu Ruochu is in such torture and blow.
She couldn't wait until she became the Supreme before killing Gu Mo. She wanted to kill Gu Mo now!
The kind that wants this villain to die immediately!
So she thought about it, disguised herself, and tried every day to get close to Uncle Qin who had followed Gu Mo back to Fengjing.
After getting acquainted with Uncle Qin, she looked like she was thinking about Uncle Qin and said, "Gu Mo is not your biological daughter. Once Gu Gu Gu returns to her side, will your foster father still have a foothold in the Gu family?"
?The smartest thing you can do now is to hold Gu Mo in the palm of your hand and make her obey your words."
