Chapter seven hundred and ninety-ninth go back to farming
"In addition, one person can be added to the post of Prime Minister of Zhan Shifu. Qiu Yifan, the Imperial Academy's Attendant, is prudent in his work. I will transfer him to Zhan Shifu to help with the general affairs together with Gu Aiqing."
Qiu Yifan was jealous of Gu Chengyu's good luck, but he didn't expect that the emperor would order him next, and he was shocked.
If Gu Chengyu can get close to the prince, he will naturally gain a lot of benefits.
But he was an official of the eldest prince's lineage, so the emperor's actions made it difficult for him.
The emperor had already ordered him, and even if he didn't want to, he could only accept the order and thank him.
"Zhan Shi Mansion is concurrently held by Zhang Shuo, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and He Jisheng, the minister of Honglu Temple, is transferred to the post of Zhan Shi. The minister of Honglu Temple selects talented people. I have not yet decided on the candidates. The remaining officials will be drawn up by the Ministry of Personnel and reviewed by me.
"
The emperor made a final decision and appointed candidates for several major official positions.
He Jisheng glanced at Gu Chengyu, and then felt excited.
Being in such close contact with the prince, any news can be conveyed to him immediately.
Even if that person doesn't succeed in the future, he still has to worry about not having a good future with the crown prince as his back?
At this time, He Jisheng actually came up with the idea of triedling two boats. I have to say that he was too greedy. He thought that others were fools, but in fact, these two princes were not fuel-efficient lamps. How could they be fooled by him?
Zhang Shuo's expression was unusual. His teacher said that now that the second prince has become the crown prince, he will be able to legitimately ascend the throne in the future.
It is right for them to move closer to the prince now. Otherwise, the officials who have taken refuge with the teacher may have other thoughts.
After all, no matter how talented the teacher is, he is only the chief assistant of the dynasty and will still have to take orders from the new emperor in the future.
It's better to take refuge now. Although it can't be said to be a help in times of need, it is more than just the icing on the cake, right?
What's more, the teacher is old and he is still young, so he always has to take sides. Even if the teacher hasn't made up his mind yet, he can't help but take action.
It's not too late to lean in now.
In fact, Zhang Shuo felt that the teacher's approach was very strange. Considering the teacher's influence in the court, it would be better to choose a wise master as soon as possible and assist him in ascending the throne, rather than being a mere minister, right?
Why did the teacher take no action for so long and only now did he have this intention?
If the emperor has great trust in the teacher and is afraid of the emperor's suspicion, it would be understandable not to seek refuge earlier.
But the emperor has now made it clear that he does not trust the teacher, and he values that Gu Chengyu very much. The teacher is still so loyal to the emperor, and he has no choice but to choose the prince to join him now, which makes him puzzled.
According to his understanding of the teacher, it is not like the teacher is such a loser.
Zhang Shuo temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and accepted the order to thank him.
"The prince has not been raised by my side since he was a child. Now that he is the crown prince, he should set an example in his words and deeds, and he must be cautious in his words and deeds. Therefore, I found a teacher for him to teach him well, so that he can be able to do it in the future.
Become a wise king of a country!"
The emperor's words immediately caused an explosion in the court, and all the officials were speculating on who the emperor would choose to be the prince's teacher.
Now that he has become the prince's master, the prince must respect his teachers. Isn't this a good opportunity to get close to the prince?
With this relationship, when the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will be the first-grade grand master of the current dynasty! How respectful is this position?
Not everyone can be qualified for the position of Crown Prince and Grand Master. It must be a highly respected person. There are only a few people in the court who can meet this requirement.
Everyone turned their attention to Xia Qing, who was at the forefront. If anyone wanted to say who was the most suitable person in the court, it was naturally Xia Qing.
After all, Xia Qingnai is the first minister of the dynasty, and his age is just right. If the emperor chooses him, no one in the dynasty will have objections.
With his official position placed there, who among the remaining courtiers would dare to object?
Several second- and third-grade officials in the court were also looking forward to it. What an honor it would be if such a good job fell on their heads?
Even Xia Qing was not exempt from vulgarity. He reviewed all the ministers in the court in his mind and felt that no one was more qualified than himself.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Qing. Even though Xia Qing was used to keeping her expression calm, she still felt arrogant in her heart, and her expression showed a hint of arrogance.
Amid the expectations of Xia Qing and his ministers, the emperor finally announced the candidates.
"After Liang Zhirui, the former Chief Assistant, became an official, he has been studying teaching in Jingyuan Prefecture. He is very knowledgeable about teaching and educating people. Besides, he is an upright man and knowledgeable. I think he is the best choice. I wonder what you all think?"
The situation in the court suddenly became audible. Everyone did not expect that the emperor would choose Liang Zhirui, who had already served as an official.
The eldest prince turned around and glanced at Gu Chengyu, that's it!
Did Gu Chengyu have some kind of deal with his father? Otherwise, why would his father give the position of crown prince and grand master to Liang Zhirui?
You don’t want Liang Zhirui to restrain Xia Qing, right? If Liang Zhirui had this ability, he wouldn’t have been run away by Xia Qing in the first place.
The prince has mixed feelings in his heart, it seems he still can't trust him after all!
He pretended to be happy on his face, but in fact he was like a mute eating coptis, unable to express his pain.
This Zhanshi Mansion has become a sieve, and officials from all forces have come in, including Gu Chengyu.
Does he really not understand his father’s intentions? It’s just that he can’t show it!
Gu Chengyu came here to monitor him. It is impossible to say that his daily movements would be reported to his father by Gu Chengyu.
His father's move could kill two birds with one stone. It could not only prevent him, but also prevent Gu Chengyu from turning against him and trying to create a rift between the two of them.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicier!
Prince Jing was a little surprised this time. He didn't expect Gu Chengyu to value love and justice so much. If he had known this, he should have started with Liang Zhirui.
It's a pity that he made the wrong move at the beginning, and now that he wants to join in to please him, the master and the disciple may not betray him anymore.
I really regretted it! Prince Jing sighed secretly, thinking that he would find a way in the future. After all, with Gu Chengyu's support, he would have more chances of having the last laugh.
"Your Majesty! I think this matter is inappropriate. Mr. Liang has been away from the court for several years. He is already vague about the affairs of the court and may not be competent. Besides, Mr. Liang is already old. If he is allowed to return to the court again,
, I’m afraid that my heart is full but my strength is not enough!”
Peng Yuhao, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, was the first to appear. He was Xia Qing's minion, so naturally Xia Qing followed suit.
Gu Chengyu looked up and didn't rush to refute, idiot!
You are still old? Can you be taller than the emperor? You are seeking death!
Sure enough, the emperor's face turned cloudy in an instant, and it looked very scary!
"Already old? Why don't all the old ministers in the court have to retire and return to their hometowns? Why don't they all resign and go back to farming?"
The emperor's face was slightly distorted, and Gu Chengyu felt secretly happy, telling you to belittle my teacher.
Even if you seek death, it won't be his turn to deal with it. This will definitely offend many senior officials in the court.
