The emperor's brows furrowed even more when he heard this. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this secret secret, it depends on how he handles it. Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If there is no secret secret, then the officials below will deceive him, but he will
Nothing is known.
In the final analysis, it was because the chief minister of the cabinet had so much power that few officials dared to quarrel with Xia Qing.
"How to implement this? Do you have any countermeasures in mind? Don't beat around the bush with me. Since you proposed this method, there are always ways to deal with these problems and disadvantages."
The emperor thought for a moment, but could not find a solution, so he simply stopped thinking and threw the problem back to Gu Chengyu.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he felt sure. After talking for so long, the next thing he wanted to say was the key point.
Xiao Quanzi pricked his ears outside the imperial study room to listen to what was going on inside, but the emperor and Gu Chengyu didn't speak loudly. Except for the two laughs, he didn't hear anything clearly.
At this time, Xia Qing was following De'an on the way to the imperial study. According to what De'an had just revealed, he knew that the emperor summoned Gu Chengyu while summoning Min Feng. His idea for Min Feng was to just divide the
Just give him the credit, but De'an's unfulfilled intention just now seemed to mean that Min Feng had revealed his flaws.
Alas! Min Feng is still too young after all, and he doesn’t take what he told him to heart before. He is still thin-skinned when he first entered the officialdom. This incident can be regarded as a lesson to him.
Xia Qing did not expect that the emperor valued Gu Chengyu so much. The emperor could not have known that Gu Chengyu had written the book before, and he actually wanted Gu Chengyu to reap some benefits from this contribution. However, he underestimated Gu Chengyu.
Compared with Gu Chengyu, Min Feng is still much inferior. Even with Zhang Hai standing by, Min Feng cannot take the credit. It seems that Min Feng is inferior to Gu Chengyu in both mind and talent.
More.
However, how many people like Gu Chengyu are there in the world? Liang Zhirui himself is a stubborn old man. Unexpectedly, the disciples he taught are more tactful than the last, and the most important thing is that they are also talented, which makes Xia Qing very envious.
At this time, Xia Qing didn't know that Gu Chengyu had another more detailed preface. It was impossible for De'an to reveal all of it. He wanted to give it to the chief minister, but he always knew who he was loyal to.
Internal servants like them naturally have to rely on the emperor to succeed. Without the Holy Family, those officials will not take them seriously.
When he was about to arrive at the imperial study, Xia Qing saw Zhang Hai and Min Feng kneeling straight outside the imperial study from a distance. Xia Qing's face tightened. I am afraid that the emperor will not let him go easily today. He will definitely win.
It would be better to be even more groveling.
The cabinet has put the emperor through some hardships in the past few days, and the drafting process is very rough. I am afraid that the emperor is already dissatisfied. This incident just gave the emperor a handle, and he used this excuse to severely reprimand him.
It turned out that the emperor had refuted his face during the preface ceremony. He originally wanted to use the preface to bow to the emperor and seek a sixth-grade official position, so as to ease the relationship between the emperor and him and gradually restore his former glory.
.
It seemed that the emperor's fear and suspicion of him were irreversible, so he had to make other plans quickly.
De'an had long seen the two people kneeling outside, but what he was paying attention to was Xiao Quanzi standing guard outside the imperial study. Why was Xiao Quanzi guarding outside? What on earth was the emperor plotting with Master Gu?
Not letting outsiders hear? Or is it that Mr. Gu has already gone back?
When Min Feng saw the teacher coming, he felt very aggrieved. He glanced at Xia Qing and wanted to say something. But Xia Qing didn't look at him at all, and directly passed the two of them and went to the imperial study room.
Min Feng suddenly felt anxious. Could it be that the teacher was angry? He messed up this matter, causing the teacher to be reprimanded by the emperor. But the teacher asked him to do this, so he can't be blamed!
When Xia Qing saw the expression on Min Feng's face just now, he knew what he was thinking. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. He was just punished to kneel down, so he felt aggrieved? He had his own way to make the emperor calm down, and it was impossible to affect Min Feng's career.
This disciple is too impatient!
"Xiao Quanzi, you are guarding outside. Who is waiting in the imperial study?" De'an didn't care about the twists and turns in the minds of master and apprentice Xia Qing. He walked quickly to Xiao Quanzi and asked
Something happened in the imperial study room.
"Mr. Chen, there is no one waiting in the royal study. The emperor said that he had important matters to discuss with Mr. Gu, so he asked his servants to guard the door outside and not let anyone in." Xiao Quanzi saluted Xia Qing and returned to De'an.
words.
Xia Qing was shocked when he heard this. Gu Chengyu was only a sixth-grade official, but he could still conspire with the emperor. How is this possible? Gu Chengyu had just entered the Hanlin Academy, and he probably didn't even know the situation in the court. What could he conspire with the emperor?
"Can't we enter our house?" De'an didn't care what the emperor and Mr. Gu were talking about inside, he only cared that the emperor kept him out of the imperial study.
Xiao Quanzi looked at the two of them with troubled expressions, "Yes, the emperor said that no one can enter without his signal!"
Xia Qing's face suddenly became even darker. The emperor summoned him but refused to let him enter the imperial study. What did this mean?
Could it be that he wanted to severely bruise his face? He didn't believe that the emperor could talk about any big things with Gu Chengyu. How could a hairless young man do things reliably?
"It's unfortunate, Mr. Xia, we think you have to wait!" De'an glared at Xiao Quanzi. Although his heart was filled with tears, he still said apologetically to Xia Qing.
Xiao Quanzi is also unjust! These two people are both highly valued by the emperor. Manager Chen has been serving the emperor for nearly forty years. Mr. Xia is even more powerful. How can he dare to offend these two people?
Xiao Quanzi looked at the ugly faces of Xia Qing and De'an, and was worried that the two of them would be angry with him. After all, last time he was too showy in front of the emperor, De'an took the opportunity to punish him severely.
After that, he had to be more careful when he met Dean.
"Go back to the emperor! There don't need to be too many officials who can directly submit secret documents. Just a few people who can check and supervise each other. There are too many people and it is difficult to control."
Gu Chengyu glanced at the emperor carefully and felt relieved when he saw that the emperor was listening attentively, with no abnormal expression on his face.
This is his selfish intention. He hopes that the emperor can see clearly the current situation in the DPRK. Casting a wide net will only make the situation in the DPRK more chaotic, and will also force Xia Qing and others to take desperate risks.
This method of his is more reliable and can prevent too many officials from secretly voting, making the cabinet's votes useless.
Then he continued: "As for the candidates, in fact, we are not limited to those who are first or second grade. Those with lower grades are also welcome."
Gu Chengyu thought in his heart that although those officials with lower rankings knew a lot, they were not as knowledgeable as those high-ranking officials. His purpose was to retain the power of the cabinet and not to shake the cabinet officials.
