Coming out of the imperial study, Gu Chengyu thought as he walked. He had just entered the officialdom, and there must be many obstacles in the implementation of the tea tax law.
Not to mention the tea merchants and farmers, even the resistance in the court will not be small. It seems that he will have to discuss it with the teacher in the next two days. The teacher has been immersed in officialdom for many years and is always more experienced than him, a rookie in officialdom.
Just after Gu Chengyu left, the emperor said to De'an: "Gu Chengyu's brains are really good. I asked him twice for help, and he actually solved it for me."
After these two times, the emperor became more and more satisfied with Gu Chengyu. After finding a way to solve the arrears of side wages, the emperor also relaxed a little and started chatting with De'an.
"Your Majesty! Mr. Gu is indeed smart, but if he acquires literary and martial arts, he belongs to the emperor's family! No matter how smart he is, he is still a minister serving you, the emperor. I guess he also wants to show off in front of you, the emperor, so he racks his brains!
"
Although De'an was also surprised by Gu Chengyu's performance, he was quite good at flattering others. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take the position of chief executive, right?
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"You are just like Gu Chengyu, you are very sharp-tongued!"
When Gu Chengyu returned to the office, Ren Ge and the others looked at Gu Chengyu with their eyes. In response, Gu Chengyu just smiled and did not tell the emperor's purpose of summoning him this time.
As soon as they looked at Gu Chengyu's expression, they knew that Gu Chengyu didn't want to talk in detail, so they all turned around and did their own things.
Although Ren Ge was curious, he did not ask further questions. After all, the emperor's summons might be for some secret errand. Since they didn't tell him, he had to be aware of it.
But Gu Chengyu was so valued by the emperor that even the important officials in the court could not be summoned so frequently.
It suddenly occurred to him that the position of attendant had been vacant for almost two months, but there had been no news from the Ministry of Personnel, and he didn't know what the explanation was.
Ren Ge glanced at Gu Chengyu, with mixed feelings in his heart. He was afraid that he would miss out on the position of serving as an attendant. If not, he would have to go to Mr. Zhang today to have a taste of him.
Gu Chengyu put the tea tax issue behind him and concentrated on editing the records. There was only one volume left of the records, and he could finish the editing today.
But he doesn't plan to hand in the mission today, and will wait until the deadline given by Mr. Zhang is up. If your ability is too outstanding, the superiors will only give you more tasks to do. He now fully understands this.
Ren Ge stood up, holding a book of records in his hand, and was going to go to Master Zhang now. He had something on his mind, and he was absent-minded in doing things, so he might as well go find out the news first.
"Eh? Shuzhi, do you want to go to Master Zhang?" Liu Zonghan asked casually when he saw the record in Ren Ge's hand.
Gu Chengyu turned around and took a look. Ren Ge was responsible for compiling this record. It had been more than half a month, but he didn't expect it to be completed? It seemed that the efficiency of Hanlin Academy officials was not as low as he had imagined before!
"This record has been compiled for a long time, and it is completed today. I will go to Mr. Zhang for a report." Ren Ge smiled, turned around and left the room.
Liu Zonghan looked at Ren Ge's back and smiled. No one was stupid. Was he anxious? Anyway, he had already figured it out, and that person would never be his turn.
Then he glanced at Gu Chengyu, who was concentrating on editing. This boy was so valued by the emperor that he would still give it a try. Otherwise, how could Ren Ge be so eager?
Liu Zonghan and Ren Ge have worked together for more than three years, so they naturally know each other's personality. Ren Ge looks calm on the surface, but in fact he must be restless on the inside.
Liu Zonghan crossed his legs, dropped the brush in his hand, and planned to get up and walk around.
Ren Ge came to Mr. Zhang's place with worries all the way. Qian Chai just happened to come out of Zhang Hai's house. When he saw Ren Ge, he quickly saluted.
"I have met Lord Ren!"
"It turns out it's a money review. Is Mr. Zhang here?"
"Master Zhang is here, why don't you let me inform you?"
Qian Jiajie's behavior was indeed flattering, but he was always enthusiastic and never quarreled with others, which was also due to his temperament. Ren Ge felt very happy when he was so obviously trying to please Qian Jiajie.
"I won't bother with the review!" After saying that, Ren Ge shouted outside and was called in by Mr. Zhang.
Qian Kaifeng smiled. Mr. Ren had no foundation in the officialdom. Compared with Mr. Gu, he still tended to hug Mr. Gu's lap.
The fact that Lord Gu was summoned by the emperor again and again in such a short period of time is enough to prove Lord Gu's potential. Not to mention, Lord Gu's senior brothers all hold high positions in the court, and Lord Gu will definitely have an official career in the future.
magnanimous.
He heard some news from elsewhere, saying that Lord Min wanted to take away Lord Gu's achievements and was ordered by the emperor to go home and rest. He didn't know whether this was true or not.
I didn't expect that a disciple of Xia Shoufu would do such a shameless thing. However, with Xia Shoufu's support behind his back, and even being punished by the emperor, this was enough to prove that the emperor valued Lord Gu.
Thinking about it this way, Qian Xun's determination to cling to his thigh became even stronger.
"Sir! This is the record compiled by the lower official. Please read it." Ren Ge handed over the record in his hand. Lord Zhang took the record and read the two volumes casually, then nodded.
He naturally trusts Ren Ge's ability. After the compilation of the actual records is completed, someone will have to collate it. There is no need for him to read it in detail now.
"Of course you can rest assured when doing things. When you go back, bring this record with you and let Jiang Xiu compile and edit it."
Originally, he wanted Gu Chengyu to do it, but it was a pity that Gu Chengyu was going back to his hometown to visit relatives in a few days, and it would take two months to go there. Naturally, he couldn't wait for Gu Chengyu to do it.
Ren Ge said yes, and then looked at Zhang Hai with a flash of eyes, but he hesitated to speak.
As soon as Lord Zhang saw it, he knew what Ren Ge wanted to ask.
He was still optimistic about Ren Ge, but who told the Hanlin Academy to suddenly have a monster like Gu Chengyu? Compared with Gu Chengyu, Ren Ge was inevitably inferior.
Besides, he had already gone to the Ministry of Personnel to find out who the emperor had reserved for the position of minister. The familiar official also revealed to him that even if the emperor disliked that person, he would not be appointed to the cabinet.
Someone has already greeted their officials.
Zhang Hai sighed, he knew who it was that greeted him without even thinking about it. He could also guess who the emperor had reserved. Those two were people with strong backers. No matter how capable Ren Ge was, it would be useless.
"Ren Xiuzuan, your ability is not bad, and there will be more opportunities in the future. You have been in the Hanlin Academy for more than three years, and I will not tell you any lies. There are many people eyeing that position, but in the end you were
The emperor has reserved it."
As soon as Zhang Hai finished speaking, he saw Ren Ge's face darken. He also felt a little emotional in his heart. Even the most calm person on weekdays couldn't calm down when encountering such a thing.
