Zhong Shize, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is the head of the Ministry of Personnel, and the promotion of officials below the fourth rank is under his jurisdiction.
From today's Hanlin Academy, Gu Chengyu became a member of the Sixth Grade. Every step of promotion was never decided by their officials, but was appointed by the emperor. This shows how prosperous Gu Chengyu is and how smooth his promotion road is.
Gu Chengyu has set a precedent and has become a special existence in the court. But if the promotion system in the court is like Gu Chengyu's, wouldn't it be chaotic? What is the purpose of this national law? Is it of any use anymore?
Because of Gu Chengyu, their officials have repeatedly suppressed low-level officials who had pink eye, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of many officials.
Now that the emperor has passed away, will the system that they thought was finally back on track have to be broken again by Gu Chengyu?
"The lower official also thinks that Zhong Shangshu's words are reasonable. As a court official, Gu Shaoqing should serve the court as a matter of course. He can't just do an errand for the court and be promoted once, right? This is not good for other officials in the court.
, it’s really unfair.”
Gu Chengyu was promoted quickly enough. A civilian official was promoted faster than a military officer. It was truly unprecedented and unprecedented.
Shen Shikang naturally raised objections first. Gu Chengyu's rise was too rapid, which was definitely not a good thing for the Beijing family.
Many officials felt that Gu Chengyu's promotion speed was too fast. If this continued, wouldn't they have to give way to Gu Chengyu? Therefore, they all felt a great sense of crisis.
Prince Jing carefully observed the prince's face and felt relieved when he saw that the prince did not object and seemed to be seriously considering his proposal.
"Second brother! Gu Shaoqing is a virtuous minister. Now that the eldest brother has rebelled, if he takes the opportunity to win over Gu Shaoqing, it will be a loss for our court. Why not raise him to a higher level and leave the matter of finding Prince Gong's whereabouts to Gu Shaoqing?
Isn’t it just right to prevent situations like this from happening?”
Prince Jing knew that the prince had moved, but he was under some pressure due to national laws!
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. It's the same thing. Even if Gu Shaoqing is not promoted, Gu Shaoqing still has to work hard for the court. This is his duty!"
Shen Shikang looked at Prince Jing with a very unkind look. Could this man have formed an alliance with Gu Chengyu by teasing the prince like this?
Prince Jing smiled slightly and said, "If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it. Mr. Shen, you don't even understand this, right? Anyway, I think that Gu Shaoqing is extremely capable, and giving him a higher level will not be able to match him."
For his contribution to making suggestions for the imperial court."
"Second brother! If you also agree with Lord Shen, why not choose another courtier in the court to investigate this matter? In the opinion of the emperor, Lord Shen is very suitable?"
There was a bit of sneer on Prince Jing's face, and then he acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"Absurd! The lower official is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is not well versed in investigating cases. These are the responsibilities of Dali Temple and the Inspectorate. The prince said this, and it is suspected of being unreasonable."
Shen Shikang was pushed back by Prince Jing, and he was naturally dissatisfied. Now that the emperor passed away, Prince Jing had no support. Not only that, but he was also suspected of being on the opposite side of the prince. How could he be polite?
"Then Gu Shaoqing was born an official of Dali Temple? Wasn't he also transferred from the Hanlin Academy? Didn't Mr. Shen also stay in the Inspectorate before?"
"Okay! This is an extraordinary period. You should all restrain yourself. You are always arguing over these meaningless things. Why not use your brains and think about how to rescue the queen mother."
The prince was in a very bad mood at the moment, but these people were still very indifferent. How could he suppress the anger in his heart?
He took a deep breath and glanced at Prince Jing suspiciously, "Fourth, when did you become so talkative? I never noticed before that you appreciate Gu Shaoqing so much?"
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, "Let's just discuss the matter! It's not like I'm blind. I still agree with Gu Shaoqing's talent."
As soon as these words came out, most of the officials in the palace had dark faces.
"Second brother! I was struck by a sword before and am still feeling a little uncomfortable, so I retreated now!"
The prince nodded, "That's fine! Didn't the imperial doctor say that you need to rest more? Your body is weak and it will take a long time to replenish your vitality. Do you know that you should be more peaceful during this period?"
The prince bit out the words "body and bones are weak" very hard. Although the imperial doctor said that Prince Jing's health was indeed not well, he remained skeptical.
"Yes!" Prince Jing bowed and exited the East Palace.
A secret smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu! He is giving benefits to Gu Chengyu!
After being reminded like this, the prince would definitely be worried about Gu Chengyu colluding with Prince Gong, and would definitely agree to the promotion.
"Your Highness! Do you really plan to promote Gu Shaoqing's rank?" Qian Lizong saw that the prince seemed to be very moved by Prince Jing's proposal, and he naturally did not want to see such a situation happen.
"Your Highness! In fact, this matter is not impossible, but it will inevitably fail to convince the public. Gu Shaoqing will definitely have to make some achievements! The Queen is still in the hands of Prince Gong. If Gu Chengyu can rescue the Queen, with such great achievements, he can naturally block the fire.
Live in Youyouzhongkou!"
Yao Qinglan, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, turned to look at Shen Shikang, this old fox, how could it be so easy to rescue the queen?
However, if Gu Chengyu manages this job well, he will be promoted to at least the third rank. She is only one level lower than him. In addition to having a poorer background, his legitimate daughter can barely make it.
He has not yet reached the weak level, but is now at the fourth level, which can be regarded as a young and promising person. If he goes up to another level, he will look better than his own.
The prince was shocked when he heard this. This was actually a good idea.
The prince nodded, "As for the enthronement, Qin Tianjian has already calculated the auspicious date, which will be in five days. I have not yet ascended the throne, so I naturally have no right to promote Gu Chengyu's rank. If he can rescue the queen within these few days, then I will
Of course you will be rewarded."
This is considered consent!
Yao Qinglan couldn't help but feel something in her heart. This was a good opportunity, and she hoped Gu Chengyu could seize it.
Two days later, Gu Chengyu rubbed his body that was numb from being bumped by the carriage and sighed deeply.
There was still a long way to go before the border. In order to distance themselves from Prince Gong's army, they delayed their trip. In order to reach the border earlier, today he asked Ming Mo and others to speed up their journey.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves behind him, and Ming Mo quickly moved the carriage to the side.
There are many people rushing on this road during the day, and caravans are the most common among them. Of course, there are also many people traveling alone, most of them are messengers delivering messages to the stations along the way. They usually go in a hurry and leave behind their carriages.
Therefore, Mingmo has become accustomed to hearing the sound of horse hooves.
"Is this the carriage of Lord Gu Shaoqing in front of you?"
