Sangu once discussed a difficult question, if there is a lot of power in hand, should we promote people who are loyal to themselves and are easier to control, or should we promote people who are more capable but not easy to control?

Gu Qinghuan chose the former, and the hundred officials of the court are many friends, and if there is no one behind him, he will not be able to gain a long-term foothold in the court. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Gu Qingning chooses the latter, she always has a feminine temperament, likes a tame sense of achievement, and would rather fight her opponent than be dragged down and stagnant.

Gu Qingxuan only said: "What do you think of the Chang'an Lu family today?"

In terms of party members, Lu Yuanzhi has the most party friends in the court, and in terms of strength, isn't it convincing that he has achieved an emperor with his own hands in his 30-year political career?

There are party friends who will not eliminate the scum and support capable people, and those who have the ability will not be flexible in response to the situation.

That's what happened.

Gu Qingxuan said, the so-called way of alliance between the court and the court - I want you, you better be able to do things, I don't want you anymore, not necessarily because you can't do things, but you haven't done anything that is beneficial to me.

……

In the fortification room of the Ministry of Works.

Although the fortifications of the Tianyi Altar have been completed, there are only some bits and pieces to deal with, and the fortification room is also idle, Gu Qingning still personally supervises the work of the counselors every day.

She still has one task to complete, that is, she has not yet decided who she wants to promote as the new supervisor.

She looked at the dozens of counselors in the hall and felt that there were too many people, and when she flipped through the drawings and manuscripts in her hand, she felt that there were too few people.

Now the highest level of the Ministry of Industry is Yin Shaochu, the waiter, there are not too many obstacles in front of her, if it goes well, the promotion is just around the corner. So she must ensure that her subordinates are both loyal and usable.

They will be her original power.

Gu Qingning walked between the rows of painting cases with his back hand, occasionally glancing at the patterns drawn by the counselors with his spare eyes.

Most of these counselors have made great progress, no longer as lazy and lazy as when she first came, and now even if they are idle, there are many people who are willing to take the initiative to learn and copy various classic patterns.

They will also ask Gu Qingning for advice, and it is inevitable that there will be many people who want to try Gu Qingning at the beginning, or embarrass her, deliberately ask some more advanced questions, or ask her to help see what is missing in the complex pattern.

However, what they tried out was Gu Qingning's true talent and learning, as well as her talent-like drawing ability, and they couldn't help but admire her very much.

Of course, they didn't know that at the age when they should have focused on female celebrities and "Female Rules", Gu Qingning began to devote all her body and mind to this technique, and her daughter embroidered mandarin ducks day after day in the embroidery pavilion, but she lay on the roof of the embroidery pavilion to draw the pattern of the building and the palace day after day......

Gu Qingning stopped in front of Cheng Moran's painting, looked at what he painted, and waited until he finished painting before he spoke up, and said with sincere appreciation: "The painting is good, your painting skills are really unmatched in the entire fortification." ”

Cheng Moran was overjoyed when he heard her praise like this, put down his pen, looked up at her with a smile: "Lord Deacon Xie appreciates." ”

Gu Qingning gently picked up the picture and looked at him: "This painting is me?"

He smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have always remembered that Lord Deacon, you are so beautiful and beautiful when you make women's clothes......"

He seems to be a natural person with affection in his eyes, he is in his prime, he has the appearance of a Zhilan jade tree, his voice is always as distant and beautiful as ethereal in the valley, and his painting hands are also very beautiful......

The other counselors laughed at him contemptuously in their hearts, but in fact, in officialdom, men are the same as women, they can't be too good-looking, they can't be too ostentatious, they can't be too smart.

Therefore, they despise him for using such tricks to please his boss, and they are angry that they can't please their boss.

Gu Qingning smiled, "Okay, I'll accept this painting." ”

She bowed slightly, her face did not change, and said: "But if you don't do the right thing during the official office and draw for fun, you will still be punished." ”

Cheng Moran's face froze, and the others were also stunned for a moment.

He bowed his head and said, "Yes, I accept punishment." ”

She said: "I will punish you to paint an exhibition map of the Tianyi Altar, and if you paint a large one, you must complete it before the ceremony of worshiping the heavens, and you must draw it well, if it is not a masterpiece, this deacon will not be able to enjoy it." ”

Cheng Moran had no choice but to reply: "Yes, obey orders." But...... Isn't this exhibition painting a matter of Danqing Pavilion?"

She said naturally: "Yes, you are now a person from Danqing Pavilion, wait until you take your brush and ink to report to Danqing Pavilion." ”

Who wants to be the hardest painter to get promoted?

It turns out that the real punishment is this......

Cheng Moran's heart sank instantly, and he hung his head depressedly, "Yes......"

She watched Cheng Moran's lonely back go out of the fortification, and went away, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Isn't it sad for a person who pins his future on someone else? Isn't it hard to be careful to curry favor and try to please? Isn't it pitiful to end up like this?

It's just that in this vanity fair, there are always some people who want to be sacrificed.

She knew that some people behind her were laughing.

She didn't look back, she turned around and went directly to her public house, and on the same day, she drafted a proposal for the promotion of the new supervisor and sent it to Liang Zhengqing.

Liang Zhengqing was very puzzled, she did not choose the most talented Tang Feng, nor did she choose Cheng Moran, who favored her the most, but chose Xu Zitong, who was slightly inferior to Tang Feng in talent, and Zhang Yuanning, who strongly opposed her as a supervisor at the beginning.

She has this consideration, Xu Zitong is better at behaving than the upright and dull Tang Feng, although Zhang Yuanning, who is very capable, opposed her at the beginning, but now he is very impressed by her, and she burned those people to ask for the withdrawal of her submission without retaliation, which has already been regarded as a favor to them, so Zhang Yuanning has always been weak-hearted in the face of her, so it is better to control.

As soon as the procedure left, the official document came down, and on the second day, she announced in court that Xu Zitong was the supervisor of the East Hall and Zhang Yuanning was the supervisor of the West Hall.

This is a set.

Next, she is going to prepare for the upcoming festival to the heavens.

That's the most serious part, if it happens, she doesn't have to cower anymore, if not, all the work will be lost.

……

The natural disasters in Daqi this year were particularly serious, and most of the southern states had reported the disaster and asked for help, and an endless stream of victims flocked to Chang'an, but the imperial court did not have a steady stream of silver to help them.

The disaster relief is being carried out, and it is faced with a very thorny problem -- the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is approaching.

In this sacred ceremony that the previous emperors cared about the most, from the royal family to the imperial court are not sloppy, when the neighboring countries come to visit the subject countries to come to the court, the prefects and royal relatives from all over the country will gather in front of the Tianyi altar, and these VIPs began to rush to Chang'an a long time ago, and there are not a few people who arrive at the imperial city in these days.

The Ministry of Rites had been busy with this important diplomatic matter long before the expedition began, and they were responsible for receiving foreign envoys and fiefdom nobles.

The emperor explained a very difficult thing for the Ministry of Rites and Chang'an to order the Yin Mansion to do - let foreign guests from all countries enter through the East City Gate, and not let a single refugee appear within five miles of the East Gate, because this is related to the face of Daqi.

Such a difficult matter, the Ministry of Rites was at a loss, Dong Yehong had to be busy with the planning of the ceremony to sacrifice to the sky, and the reception was originally in charge of Yang Rongan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, so Gu Qinghuan was dragged to the "front line" by him as soon as he became a Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and the two scholars began to "intercept" the VIPs' lines outside the city all day long, leading them to take the "right" road, and showing them the most prosperous beauty of Daqi.

The refugee relief camps were moved to a place five miles away from Chang'an City, and the Imperial City Guards were sent to patrol inside and outside the city, and the refugees who had entered the city before were driven to the outskirts of the southern city, and the officers and soldiers restricted their entry into the inner city.

Yin Jiheng was there to watch out for Lu Yuanzhi, and there were so many things about disaster relief fundraising that people rushed to do it, so Gu Qingxuan looked quite idle.

It is said that since he was sick at the beginning of the year, the three sisters and brothers have not been worried about his physical condition for a while.

They also all know that he was physically strong when he was young, but since he became an official, he began to become frail and sickly because of his hard work, and as he got older, his body became weaker and weaker.

The most important thing is Gu Qingfeng, he stayed in Chang'an City to help his father take care of his body, thinking that he was not very active to cause his body to deteriorate, so he asked him to make a complete set of vertical Baduanjin every day before going to the office, and then make a complete set of sitting Baduanjin every day before going to bed.

And not only that, every time he rested, he had to pull Gu Qingxuan to go out every hour and walk around the mansion to rejuvenate his muscles and bones, so he almost forced his father to practice swords with him.

Gu Qingxuan was "miserable", and every time he saw Hong Luotian, he "urged" him to take Gu Qingfeng away quickly.

Later, every time he rested, he didn't stay at home, and walked slowly to Nancheng with a hoe every morning.

There were several farms and farms for the Gu family, which he gave to the refugees to live there and make a living by farming.

As soon as he has free time, he goes there to farm with those farmers, and he can also achieve the effect of strengthening his body, but there will always be a "little tail" behind him, which is naturally Gu Qingfeng.
