(Happy May Day to everyone!) Everybody's out to play, right? Haha, thank you. Ask for a guaranteed pink! ）

After the court meeting, Emperor Chongde made a decree, saying that Meng Guitang and Gu Chong'an were the talents of Shangzuo and Xiaji, and specially rewarded the two Wenqi and mink, and also gave a plaque of "the world's teacher's watch" to Yunshan Academy to commend the two and Yunshan Academy.

The decree said: "The academy divides fasting, reads in it, and governs it, so that it can be recited day and night, and it will be practiced in a whole, so that all talents and learning in the world can be useful, and it will also promote the cultivation of talents and talents, and also benefit the country and the dynasty...... I am happy and prosperous, this edict. ”

This will, as well as the rewards given by Meng Guitang and Gu Chong'an, and the amount given to Yunshan Academy, all show the attitude of Emperor Chongde and the imperial court towards the academy, and show Emperor Chongde's recognition of norms such as "not being an official can benefit the people".

With this intention, coupled with the fact that Ye Duan, Xu Zhen and others were on the side of the academy, the dispute between the DPRK and China over the norms of the academy was calmed down on the surface, and secretly, it was another matter.

Those officials who oppose the norm are actually very clear. Since the emperor has expressed his position, as courtiers, of course they don't dare to fight directly with Emperor Chongde, but in private, they scolded Meng Guitang and Gu Chong'an for a bloody time, thinking about how to make Meng Guitang and Gu Chong'an plant once.

Meng Guitang is in Yunshan, so forget it, but Gu Chong'an is an official of the secretary province, which always makes the court officials feel that they are not of my race, otherwise why would he propose such a standard?

People's hearts are very delicate, and when they think like this, they are invisibly alienated from Gu Chong'an, even the officials of the secretary province are no exception.

Secretary Cheng Gehong is about to give a speech. He was as kind as ever to Gu Chong'an, and even had some admiration in his heart. This secretary Lang, who is a mediocre official, has shocked him the last few times. An official like Gu Chongan is really rare in the imperial court.

"Chong'an, I won't be able to do it soon, you ...... Be a good official. Ge Hong looked at Gu Chong'an, wanting to remind him of something, but in the end he could only say this.

When Gu Chongan heard this, he felt warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you for mentioning it." Xia Guan knew it in his heart. ”

What Ge Hong said. Gu Chongan knew very well. Since Gu Zhan asked him to pay more attention to the affairs of the secretary province, Gu Chongan was interested in the secretary province, and the secretary and provincial officials looked at him in the past few days, as well as their alienation and rejection. He saw it all.

Except for Ge Hong and Qi Mi. Other officials are not necessary. I didn't have any contact with him. In this regard, Gu Chongan felt gloomy and helpless.

Officials in the secretary province should have a better understanding of the principles of learning and virtue than other officials when dealing with books and scriptures. They clearly knew that the norms of Yunshan Academy were beneficial to the people and future generations, so why did they still treat him so badly?

"After a while, it gets better, and they're just in the valley for a while. You do this, it's good, it's good. Ge Hong couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

He was very impressed by Gu Chong'an's approach, some things, although he couldn't reach them, his heart yearned for them. Gu Chong'an never considered the emperor's heart and officials, and he never cared about the confrontation between the forces of the DPRK and China, which was what Ge Hong wanted but could not do.

Being in the court, trapped in the inextricable power relations, really want to act according to your will, that is a luxury. Undoubtedly, Gu Chongan was lucky, he persevered in what he kept in his heart, and it was realized.

"Thank you, sir. The lower officials have prepared a banquet in Chunhui Building, and they also ask the adults to take the time to come. Gu Chongan arched his hand towards Ge Hong and said.

Even if there is no reminder from Ge Hong at this time, Gu Chongan is grateful to Ge Hong, as Gu Zhan said, Ge Hong is leaving the secretary province, and Gu Chongan always wants to send him off.

Ge Hong nodded, and happily went to this banquet, in addition to Gu Chong'an, there was also Qi Mi, who was known as one of the "Five Virtues of the Secretary", when the secretary provincial officials were estranged from Gu Chong'an, he and Gu Chong'an got very close.

Qi Mi's attitude towards Gu Chong'an was actually the same as what Ge Hong thought. What they thought but didn't dare to do, Gu Chongan did it, and they wanted it.

After the banquet ended, after seeing Ge Hong leave, Qi Mi said to Gu Chongan with drunkenness: "Brother Gu, you have such a temperament, you are suitable for being an official, uh...... Have you ever thought about getting out of this mess? ”

Qi Mi said that, and left staggeringly, leaving Gu Chong'an in Chunhui Building. He was drunk and confused, but the words Qi Mi said were strangely engraved in his mind.

Have you ever thought about getting out of this mess?

After Gu Chong'an woke up the next day, this sentence was still churning in his heart, impacting his heart and making him look solemn.

Since Gu Chongan was sensible, he knew that he would become an official, and this was the only way he could go. Because he was born in the Gu family, because he was the son of Gu Zhan, and the eldest grandson of Gu Yunning, the secretary of the military department at that time, he had no other choice than to become an official.

Throughout his youth and youth, Gu Chongan was preparing for becoming an official, and finally got the Jinshi background, and was later awarded an official position, all the way through the ups and downs of foreign officialdom, and finally returned to Jingzhao as a secretary.

Over the years, he has served as an official in other places, and most of Gu Chong'an's results from the examination are middle and middle, and occasionally middle and upper. If Gu Zhan was not the secretary of the ministry, maybe he would not be able to serve as a Beijing official. He always thought that he could be mediocre, so he could only barely keep it, until there were such things as Yunshan Academy.

For the first time, he felt that maybe he was not as bad as he imagined, but he had just used his mental strength incorrectly in the past. He thought that he had no political achievements in his career as an official, and it may be that he didn't want to be an official at all.

Qi Mi's words seemed to open another door for him and provide him with another possibility in life. Leaving this chaos and ignoring the clash between the DPRK and China, where can we go?

For several days, Gu Chongan was thinking about these problems, because Gu Zhan had not yet recovered, and he didn't want him to worry, so he didn't tell Gu Zhan these thoughts.

So, he thought about it, but he couldn't think of any result.

Within two days, Ge Hong left the secretary province and returned home to retire. As soon as he left, the official position of secretary Cheng was vacant, which was an official position from the fifth grade. Only within the rank of a five-rank Beijing official can one be considered truly accessible, so many officials are eyeing this position - even if the secretary department is such a quiet official office.

However, they never thought that this secretary would fall into the hands of Gu Chong'an, and this was not arranged by the officials, but directly ordered and assigned by Emperor Chongde!

Things are actually very simple, someone happened to tell Emperor Chongde about the vacancy of the secretary, and Emperor Chongde remembered that Gu Chong'an was an official of the palace province, so he said: "I think Gu Chong'an is good, and with his work in Yunshan Academy, he has the ability to be qualified for the position of secretary." ”

The word of the Son of Heaven is an edict. If the emperor wants to promote Gu Chong'an, it is impossible for the officials of the ministry to object, and this is the son of the chief official, so they have no reason to object. They quickly drew up the letter of appointment and sent it to Emperor Chongde to be stamped with a treasure seal, and the letter of appointment took effect.

At this time, Gu Zhan was still recuperating in Songling Hospital, and this matter naturally did not go through his hands, but with the consent of Shangshu Zuocheng Jiang Qin, the appointment letter was sent to Gu Chong'an.

When Gu Chongan received this appointment, he couldn't believe it. Secretary Cheng, how could he hold the position? He has been secretary of the province for less than a year! The secretary is an official in the province with much higher qualifications and talents than him, and he is a handful as soon as he catches it, how can it be his turn?!

He was still thinking about getting out of this mess, but he had this promotion. At this moment, Gu Zhan only felt that this appointment letter was a hot potato, and he didn't know whether to accept it or not.

When Gu Zhan knew about this, he was also taken aback. He felt that this appointment was a little inappropriate, because with Gu Chongan's current qualifications, he was not qualified for the position of secretary.

If virtue is not matched, there will be disasters, Gu Zhan is worried about what is the way here.

"What the emperor means is that because of my meritorious service to Yunshan Academy, this secretary deserves it, and the secretary provincial officials have nothing to say. Father, can I resign from this official position? Gu Chongan said this, looking unhappy.

Gu Chongan always felt that this official position was weird, and he didn't want this official position.

"The emperor has issued an edict, and the officials have issued a letter of appointment, and this official position will not be easy to resign for a while." Gu Zhan shook his head and said.

Unless Chong'an is no longer an official, this official position is not easy to postpone. pushed the official position of secretary Cheng and continued to serve as secretary, which ignored the emperor's intentions, and to put it more seriously, it would be considered disobedience.

The father and son were silent for a while, and they were quite embarrassed to take this five-grade official position.

After a long time, Gu Zhan said: "Let's go ahead first, I can go back to the Ministry in two days, and I'll see it then." It's just a little strange, who mentioned such a trivial matter as secretary Cheng Zhishi to the emperor? ”

If no one mentions it to the emperor, the emperor will not give this edict, and there must be something related to this!

Gu Zhan and Gu Chong'an couldn't imagine that this person was Gu Chongting. He served in the palace province, and he had too many opportunities to meet Emperor Chongde, and it was too normal to say a few words like this.

Gu Chong'an received rewards such as Wenqi and mink, and was also promoted to secretary, for this, Gu Chongting did not have a little jealousy, but hoped that he would be as powerful as possible. One door has three Beijing officials, and they are all five-grade officials, such a power glory is actually only one step away from danger.

Gu Chongting decided to use himself to push the Gu family into danger, which was what he had done before. Now, Gu Chong'an's position as secretary has been confirmed, and his appointment has also been implemented, and the matter is done.

The rest is waiting for the big meeting on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

When Gu Zhan returned to the official office of the Ministry of Officials, he learned that not only Gu Chongan was promoted to secretary, but even Gu Chongting had added ranks, from the fifth rank to the fifth grade, and he had already passed the remarks of the Ministry of Officials, once the position of the lower rank of the fifth rank was vacant, Gu Chongting could be appointed.

Gu Chongan and Gu Chongting have both been promoted, especially the first thing such as Gu Chongting's addition, he doesn't know at all! This made Gu Zhan's hair stand on end instantly, as if he felt that something was going to happen.

Sure enough, above the court meeting, someone made a move on Gu Zhan. (To be continued......)
