The 'Reward Order' ended, and the rectification of officials and businessmen also had a remarkable effect.

In the court, everyone supported Yin Jiheng and praised his achievements.

In the minds of hundreds of officials, Yushitai has always only found fault and made trouble, but since Gu Qingxuan became the Zhongcheng of Yushi, another major role of Yushitai has been discovered - praising meritorious heroes and promoting virtuous ministers.

With a little guidance and demonstration, the following supervising imperial history drew inferences from each other, and most of them were originally Yin Jiheng's subordinates, so they were particularly handy in praising the Yin family.

Yin Jiheng is the prime minister, and the jewelry reward is also redundant, in fact, no matter how much money is rewarded, it can't compensate for the loss of the family business he handed over.

In order to appease the Yin family, the emperor decided to give Yin Jiheng another fief, he was the hereditary Marquis of Annan, but the fief of Annan was remote and bitter cold, he has always been a marquis, the emperor decided to choose another rich place for him, so that the Yin family can enjoy the food.

However, this kind of thing is unprecedented, unless it is to be crowned and promoted, Yin Jiheng already has a marquis, and if he is promoted again, he will have to be crowned a duke.

Knowing that the emperor was in a dilemma, Yin Jiheng couldn't advance or retreat. Later, Gu Qingxuan made an excerpt and a piece of advice, which solved this problem, not only to benefit the Yin family, but also not to make it difficult for the courtiers to accept it.

His suggestion is not to move the title of Yin Jiheng Annanhou, but only choose another rich place and change the name to 'Annan', so that there is no need to change the title on the bright side, Yin Jiheng can be his 'Annan Hou' without wind and waves, and the food will be rich steadily.

Later, Qiao Huai'an, who learned the inside story, joked that it was not that Gu Qingxuan was upright and would not do flattering things, if he wanted to do it, I am afraid that no one would be more popular than him.

However, the terrible thing is that the higher such a person holds, the harder he ends up.

At the same time that Yin Jiheng was profitable, Yushitai wrote again, and recommended Yin Shaochu, the second son of the Yin family, to be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and began to discuss.

……

She walked to the door and stopped for a moment.

This place......

It turns out that there is still no way to let go. Those crazy past, those crazy pictures.

There was another person who had sat behind the case, and she was so familiar with every part of the court, and she had always fantasized about what would happen if she had come here.

She knew it would be sooner or later.

It's such a lovely and scary place. There were people who stood where she stood now, witnessing the cruelty she created, and there were people who did whatever they wanted in that hall, and were obsessed with her......

Because of her, this place became the man's biggest nightmare, and she always did. The old and the new have changed, I don't know how many main positions have changed here, people come and go, and she will eventually become one of the passers-by.

No one will know about the dusty secrets, no one will know how unbearable the picture was in this solemn and solemn lobby, or perhaps, it is not really special.

At this time, the official office had just been dispersed, and Yin Shaochu was the only one left in the court, she knocked on the door frame at the door, and Yin Shaochu, who was buried in the office after the public case, looked up at her, and said with a smile: "Qingning, come in." ”

In private, they have become friends, and there is no gap between them.

In her opinion, Yin Shaochu is indeed a good person, and he can even be said to be a good person with integrity.

It's a pity she's not.

There was no need to salute, she walked straight in, and sat down opposite his official case, "Why haven't you left today?

After hanging his head for a long time, he was a little tired, sat back, and laughed, "Isn't this learning from you Gu Langzhong?"

"You also made fun of me in turn, really, I have nothing to do after the dispersal value, and there is no wife and children waiting for me at home, and there is no husband to serve me, so I will be able to work hard in the official office, how can you be like a family person, if you go home later, your sister-in-law will be unhappy, by the way, last time your sister-in-law bombed you to sleep in the study, how did you go back to the room?"

Poked by her in an embarrassing place, Yin Shaochu covered his face and pretended to be annoyed: "Okay, you, make fun of your superiors' private affairs, be careful of me, be careful that I detain you Yue Fengao!"

Gu Qingning used the fold in his hand to block his hand and pat her on the head: "You buckle it! If you dare to buckle it, the lower officials will dare to go to the sister-in-law to complain!"

Yin Shaochu immediately gave birth to her, looked at her smiling happily depressedly, noticed the fold she held up, and asked, "What is this?

Getting back to the point, she put away her smile, put the fold in front of him, and said, "This is a joint recommendation letter from dozens of members of our Ministry of Industry, and the letter recommends you to be promoted to Shangshu." This fold was handed over, and the emperor and the people in the court did not hesitate. ”

When I opened the submission document, the last page was full of dense names, and the first person to sign it under the text was Gu Qingning.

He looked at it, a little distracted, and looked up to see her sincere and easy-going appearance, "This...... Eh, actually, Qingning, do you think I'm really qualified to be this Shangshu? I myself feel a little ashamed to be a little ashamed, how can I be virtuous? My deeds in the Ministry of Industry are not as good as yours at all......"

Gu Qingning said: "What does it mean to be inferior to me? You have been in the Ministry of Engineering for so many years, and you have made outstanding contributions? If you talk about drawing and construction, you are indeed inferior to me, and even inferior to the supervisor of the fortification room, but after all, this Ministry of Engineering is also a part of the officialdom, there is no shortage of intelligent and talented people here, and the most lacking is the person who has the ability to take into account the overall situation. If it weren't for your leadership and coordination, the Ministry of Industry would be a mess, and it would be impossible for me Gu Qingning to mix up until now, so you deserve this position of Shangshu!"

"Heh, really? It's rare to listen to Gu Langzhong's praise, this official is really honored. But that doesn't sound like me anymore. Actually, I never realized this, all along, I was just doing what I thought was right, and I even felt that I was the most redundant ...... in the Ministry of Works," he sighed.

She asked, "How do you feel like that? It's weird." ”

He saw that there was indeed no one else, approached her, and said a little embarrassedly: "Let me tell you, in fact, I never wanted to be an official, let alone a waiter in the Ministry of Industry, I have always cherished my own ideals, but my family had no choice but to let me join the office, and I have always been an ape in my heart during the years of being an official, so it is difficult to make a difference......"

Gu Qingning said strangely: "Then what is your ideal?"

He buried his face lower and closer, like a child who was afraid of being laughed at by adults, and whispered: "I have admired Li Bai since I was a child, and I dream of being a bard, raising a glass to invite Mingyue, and going to the end of the world with a sword!"

Sure enough, Gu Qingning couldn't hold back his laughter all of a sudden, and laughed back and forth in his resentful gaze, and after a while, he gradually calmed down, took the book in his hand, and walked out holding his stomach: "Okay, I respect you as a man...... It's always good to have ideals, isn't it? It's okay, you can think about it while you are a scholar......"

Yin Shaochu sighed to himself, looked at her back, and spoke again before she walked out of the Shilang Court, and said, "Qingning, after I become a scholar, I will recommend you to be promoted to the ...... of Shilang."

Her rare innocent smile turned into a bitter smile, calmed down, and looked back at him: "So good, the lower official is here to thank the adults for their promotion." ”

……

Gu Qingning submitted the joint recommendation letter of the Ministry of Industry to the emperor the next day, strongly recommended and supported Yin Shaochu, and everyone in the Ministry of Industry wrote a letter to admonish, and the emperor allowed it on the spot, and ordered to promote Yin Shaochu to the second grade of the Ministry of Industry.

Yin Shaochu also did what he said, and three days after he was promoted, he wrote a letter of recommendation, recommending Gu Qingning as a waiter in the Ministry of Works.

However, before he could submit the submission, Yin Jiheng made an excerpt and recommended Liu Yingsu, the former military department, to be transferred to the post of squire of the Ministry of Works, and the emperor allowed to play.
