"Gu Aiqing, what kind of enemy did you encounter? Did someone send a killer to plot against you? ”

As soon as they met, Emperor Yongping asked in an eager tone.

Gu Ming shook his head: "This time it's not a killer, but an evil person." ”

Emperor Yongping couldn't help frowning: "Evil people? ”

"Yes, but the emperor doesn't have to worry, the ministers will deal with it......"

Gu Ming didn't elaborate on this issue, and after a few brief explanations, he mentioned the matter of the word book.

Because he knew that this was the topic that Emperor Yongping was most concerned about.

Sure enough, as soon as Emperor Yongping mentioned the character book, he became energetic: "Haha, Gu Aiqing, you may not know that many ministers in the previous dynasty took the initiative to learn Zhuyin ...... the day before yesterday."

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard this, Gu Ming also became energetic.

This shows that his plan has begun to bear fruit.

Those courtiers are not stupid, when I saw those princes, princes, little princes, and little county lords were learning Zhuyin, and even heard that the emperor and the queen mother were already proficient.

What does this mean?

Anyone can guess that this means a kind of future wind direction.

Although the emperor did not force the ministers to study, the issue of calligraphy was a foregone conclusion, and when the time came, the imperial court would inevitably introduce compulsory measures.

Can't you get it...... In the future, it will also be linked to the imperial examination.

Therefore, the ministers with a little brain, whether they wanted it or not, were forced to accept the reality and take the initiative to propose to the emperor how to learn Zhuyin.

First, you can win the emperor's favor, and second, you have to let your children learn quickly, but don't fall behind.

"Yes, yes, there are also many students in Guozijian who have taken the initiative to learn the phonetic program......

Feng Yongxing answered.

"Great, that's a good start!"

Gu Ming said with a relieved expression.

"So the two Aiqing, taking advantage of this momentum, we should hurry up and print the word book, and you can print a batch less to see the effect."

Feng Yongxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, and it can be delivered for printing at any time." ”

"Hmm!" Emperor Yongping nodded, then glanced at Gu Ming and asked, "Gu Aiqing, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"There is also a ...... Your Majesty, since this is an innovative word book, how about a louder name? ”

Emperor Yongping's eyes lit up: "What is Aiqing's opinion?" ”

In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to have the emperor write the inscription, and the title of this character can be named ...... Dayan Dictionary! ”

"Dayan Dictionary?"

As soon as Gu Ming's words came out, Emperor Yongping and Feng Yongxing repeated a sentence in unison.

Obviously, the title of the book touched both of them a lot.

The key lies in the last word: the dictionary!

Word books fall into the category of reference books and are called dictionaries, which means that this is a classic, and its meaning is very different.

Especially for Emperor Yongping, it is of great significance.

As a Son of Heaven, how much merit will it be for him to lead the promotion of a classic that popularizes the world?

"Yes, after all, such a word book is unprecedented, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a dictionary."

"Hahaha, great, what Gu Aiqing said is very ...... Feng Aiqing, what do you think? ”

Feng Yongxing naturally had no opinion and seconded the proposal on the spot.

"Okay, then...... Otherwise, the title of this book is still up to you, Gu Aiqing? ”

"No, no, no, your majesty, although this set of phonetic schemes was proposed by Weichen, it would not have been possible without the emperor's strong support.

The minister thought that it would be more grand for the emperor to inscribe the title of the book......"

In fact, Emperor Yongping is just modest.

As soon as Gu Ming said this, he immediately said happily: "Okay, since Aiqing said so, then I will ask the question!" ”

……

A few days later, the first batch of Dayan Dictionaries was officially published.

This batch is considered a trial edition, and the print run is not large, only 2,000 copies have been printed, and it will not be sold to the public for the time being, giving priority to meeting the needs of the Guozijian and the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Even so, it caused quite a stir among the government and the opposition.

After all, the four big characters of "Dayan Dictionary" on the cover are from the emperor's handwriting, and on this basis, all the ministers have to scramble to find a copy.

The important thing is that on this day, the whole capital was once again sensational......

First of all, there were wisps of light from the Confucius Temple, and there was a faint sound of reading.

After that, there were also ten thousand rays of light in the sky above the Gongyuan, which did not disperse for a long time.

Above the palace, there is once again an auspicious image of a dragon and a phoenix......

This made Emperor Yongping more and more pleasantly surprised, because he knew in his heart that this was no coincidence, and it must be because of an auspicious omen caused by the publication of the "Dayan Dictionary".

The Ruixiang several times in a row fully demonstrates the prosperity of the Great Yan Dynasty.

As soon as Emperor Yongping was excited, he immediately sent someone to summon Gu Ming into the palace......

"Gu Aiqing, you have made another great contribution this time, and you are really wronged Aiqing as a five-grade official......

I decided to promote Aiqing again and confer the rank of fourth-rank official. As for the official position...... I didn't think of a suitable one for the time being, I wanted to let Aiqing join the cabinet, but I just ...... I'm afraid some old ministers will make a fuss......"

What is the special position of the Cabinet? It was the core functional department of the Great Yan Dynasty, and its power was above all departments.

Although Gu Ming is the champion, under normal circumstances, he has to work hard for ten or eight years before he has a chance to enter the cabinet.

When the emperor was promoted unusually, there were many ministers who had made a fuss, and after only a few months in office, they had to enter the cabinet unusually, and it is conceivable that I don't know how many ministers strongly opposed it.

Of course, it is not impossible for the emperor to insist on going his own way, but that will inevitably greatly reduce the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

And even if Gu Ming reluctantly took office, it would be difficult to convince the public with his shallow foundation.

Unless he has great merit to be able to intimidate the ministers.

The Dayan dictionary is, of course, a great credit, but in the eyes of many courtiers, most of the credit is still due to the emperor.

If it weren't for the emperor's strong support and full support, what would be the use of having a big idea?

Therefore, Emperor Yongping thought about it, and let Gu Ming enter the cabinet a little early, which was not enough to convince the ministers.

There will definitely be ministers who will still have opinions about the promotion, but Gu Ming's credit is there, even if some people oppose it, I believe that there will be many sensible ministers who will stand up and support it.

"Your Majesty, Wechen just did a little bit of his duty, I'm afraid it's a bit too early to promote Wechen now......"

Without waiting for Gu Ming to finish speaking, Emperor Yongping couldn't help but smile and waved his hand: "Gu Aiqing doesn't have to be modest, I know it in my heart." Aiqing doesn't fight, but I want to fight for you.

Otherwise, I don't want to go.

In fact, I know in my heart that for others, it is a great joy to be promoted to an official position.

And for Aiqing, even if you are canonized as a first-class member...... It may just be a passing moment. Even, other people's lives, even my lives, are the same in your eyes......"

"The Emperor's ......"

"Aiqing, you listen to me first...... Once upon a time, I had unrealistic dreams of being able to live long live as the minister said.

However, since ancient times, how can there ever be an emperor who has truly achieved it for thousands of generations?

As the old saying goes, stand at thirty, do not be confused at forty, and know the destiny of heaven at fifty.

Although I have not yet reached the age of confusion, I already know my destiny......

God has given me the destiny of the king, but I know in my heart that sooner or later, sooner or later, I will still grow old and return to dust......"

Hearing Emperor Yongping open his heart and say what was in his heart, Gu Ming was quite relieved.

This shows that the emperor is gradually getting rid of the influence of Pudu Cihang, and is beginning to face the reality and no longer hope for any dreams of immortality.

From ancient times to the present, which emperor has not had a dream of immortality?

As the Son of Heaven, it is not difficult to find a master to guide the cultivation of immortals, but why is there no one who succeeds?

It can even be said that there is not even a single one who is getting started.

This can be said to be a mystery...... After all, there have been so many emperors from ancient times to the present, and it can't be said that none of them have the talent for cultivating immortals, right?

Perhaps, this is a law of balance in the heavens.

"Why did the emperor suddenly talk about such a heavy topic?"

"Hehe, I suddenly felt something...... In short, I hope that Aiqing can assist me in governing the country with peace of mind, so that the Great Yan Dynasty can move towards unprecedented glory.

I can promise Aiqing that as long as I reign for one day, I will never treat Aiqing badly, let alone embarrass Aiqing. ”

If you were another minister, you would definitely be overjoyed to hear the emperor's words.

Because this kind of treatment can be said to be more effective than the gold medal for avoiding death, how many courtiers have been able to win this honor since ancient times?

Gu Ming was quite calm.

First, he never thought of plotting to usurp the throne or anything, he couldn't commit heinous crimes, and he believed that the emperor would not deal with him for some small mistakes.

Second, even if the emperor wants to embarrass him, it is not so easy...... It's not easy now, and it's even harder in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Do all in one's power! ”

Gu Ming did not respond positively, and responded ambiguously.

"Hmm~" Emperor Yongping didn't say more, nodded and said: "I turned around and informed the officials, and in two days, someone announced the decree and officially canonized Aiqing as the four-rank official......"

Sure enough, as soon as he received the news, Fei You, who was the secretary of the ministry, was immediately unhappy, and immediately ran to the palace to meet the emperor......

Who knows, Emperor Yongping disappeared for some reason.

Fei You did not give up, and teamed up with several colleagues to jointly play, saying that Gu Ming had only been in office for a few months, and his qualifications were far from enough, not enough to serve the public.

Outcome...... On the contrary, he was tamed by Emperor Yongping, so that they had the ability to come up with a little convincing ability like Gu Ming.

Saying this, Fei You and the others were immediately speechless.

After all, the "Dayan Dictionary" has been sincerely recognized by many ministers, and the DPRK and China have also set off a wave of learning phonetics, which can be described as unstoppable.

Even many ministers who were opposed at the beginning began to realize its great value after reading the "Great Dictionary Dictionary", and their attitudes changed dramatically, and they began to take the initiative to study.

Because they have realized that this is the general trend.

If you don't move forward, you may be trampled under the feet of those who come after you.

Two days later, Gu Ming really received the holy decree.

Although the official position has not changed, he is still a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but the official character has directly crossed two levels, from the fifth grade to the fourth grade.

In this way, Gu Ming broke another record and became the youngest four-rank official in the history of the Great Yan Dynasty.

At the same time, Emperor Yongping also specially gave Gu Ming an independent official residence.

According to the specifications, this official residence requires a third-grade official to be eligible to move in. Of course, the emperor has repeatedly broken the rules, and it is not surprising to break the rules again.

Moreover, this official residence has just been renovated two years ago, it is finely decorated, fully furnished, fully equipped, and has a golden port (very close to the palace), and it is ventilated and sunny......

In a word, just check in with your bags.
