Chapter 123: Honesty

, the fastest update trembling, the latest chapter of the scumbag! Gu Yao was completely stunned.

Emperor Longqing actually planned to deal with Shoufu.

And the vacant position in the cabinet caused Gu Qing and Rong Guogong to fight, but it was just a smoke bomb?

Emperor Longqing attracted everyone's attention to this, but he slowly laid out the layout for Shousuke.

"In the past few years, the emperor has been quite fond of Lord He, and he has the intention to let him replace the current Shoufu."

"But Lord Shoufu has assisted the emperor for a long time......"

Gu Yao didn't say any more.

Lu Zheng showed a clear smile: "It's because it's been too long, the emperor is not very relieved, the position of the first assistant is very important, Your Majesty the first assistant, the lower An Qunchen, even if the first assistant is conscientious and never dares to take a wrong step, the emperor is still afraid that he will have the mind to restrict His Majesty because he has been the first assistant for too long." ”

The system of the empire, the first assistant is indeed very likely to limit the power of the monarchy.

This is really a little unbearable for Emperor Longqing, who has a strong desire for power and control.

Since his accession to the throne, he has reformed the cabinet system, dividing more than half of the power of the imperial court to nominate cabinet scholars.

If he does not agree, the public recommendation of the court will have no effect.

"So Shousuke-sama can only resign himself to fate? I remember that Shousuke's granddaughter also entered the harem. ”

"It's useless."

Lu Zheng said slowly, "Who the emperor wants to move, he will never care if he has relatives in the emperor's harem, once the first assistant falls, Concubine Yi will soon be beaten into the cold palace." ”

"Downfall?"

Gu Yao was smart, "The emperor doesn't plan to save Shoufu's life?" ”

Lu Zheng bowed slightly, "Last year's incident made the emperor have the intention of completely abolishing Shoufu, in the past, seeing his hard work, the emperor was willing to let him live." ”

Gu Yao didn't want to ask Shoufu what taboo she had committed, she hadn't been here for a long time, and she didn't know what happened last year.

I want to commit the taboo of Emperor Longqing.

"He has been in the position of first assistant for more than 20 years, and these years have ...... He has accumulated a lot of family funds, and no matter how honest an official is, he earns a lot of money. ”

Lu Zheng had a faint smile on his lips, "Even if there is no last year's incident, the emperor will not let him go, after all, the emperor has always wanted to build a Jiangnan annex in the western suburbs of the capital, and this time the two Huai patrol salt envoys Jia was transferred back to the capital to raise money." ”

In addition to the good enjoyment of the name, Emperor Longqing has not enjoyed visiting Jiangnan several times, and this time he plans to repair the Jiangnan garden.

However, these things have little to do with Gu Yao.

Although she despised Emperor Longqing's extravagant behavior a little, as far as the emperor was concerned, what he did was not too out of line.

"Can I tell my uncle about this?"

If Gu Qing knew Emperor Longqing's plans, he would definitely be able to get a lot of benefits from it.

Xu is able to compete fiercely with Rongguo Gong, achieve the purpose of cooperation with each other, and join hands to enter the cabinet.

After all, in terms of the opportunity to enter the cabinet, Gu Qingtong Rongguo Gong has the greatest chance, but they are not without competitors.

Although those people are not as good as Gu Qing and Rong Guogong, what if they succeed in squeezing out Gu Qing in the end?

It is not without cases in history where people who are not favored have squeezed out popular people and elected to the cabinet.

Lu Zheng said with a smile: "Since I told you, I am not afraid that your eldest uncle will know, but this news still needs to be treated with caution, the emperor is also afraid of startling the snake, Shoufu has done it for too many years, and the emperor does not want to use thunderous means to make the court angry." ”

"The emperor...... In fact, I am very afraid of trouble, in recent years, the emperor's attitude towards the government has been stable, and whoever makes the emperor work hard will not have a good life. ”

Gu Yao listened carefully, I am afraid that there are few people in this world who have Lu Zheng to understand Emperor Longqing.

If he said these things, he could go back and tell the third brother, which would make the third brother take a lot less crooked paths.

"Get your third brother ready." Since Lu Zheng got Gu Yao's promise, he would naturally help all Gu Yao's relatives.

What's more, for Gu Jin, without Gu Yao's relationship, he also appreciates it mostly.

Gu Jin is low-key and introverted, and the proud and flamboyant Lu Zheng are two types of people.

But all this did not prevent Lu Zheng from appreciating Gu Jin.

However, if it weren't for Gu Yao's existence, no matter how much Lu Zheng admired Gu Jin, there would be a deep gap between them, and they would not be able to become friends.

It's going to be a good opponent.

Lu Zheng believes that Gu Jin's future future will definitely not be bad.

"This year, the emperor plans to open Enke?" Gu Yao said in one word.

Lu Zheng nodded and said: "There is a ninety percent chance that the emperor will add Enke, so as to dilute the impact of the emperor's abolition of the first assistant, and the emperor dislikes too many officials in the court, and plans to promote some new faces, the emperor always says that young people are motivated, and it is easier than old officials...... Control. ”

Every time he went to the court, Emperor Longqing only saw a bunch of old fritters passing the buck to each other, and he was very tired of thinking about it.

Shoufu fell, and the officials who supported Shoufu would also be killed or belittled by Emperor Longqing.

Ten years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

Officials who have been officials in the center of the imperial court for many years have a more abundant family background.

Emperor Longqing made a fortune this time.

It can also weed out the old people and give the new ones a chance to rise.

It will also make the interest of Shilin scholars to participate in the imperial examination high.

Emperor Longqing's abacus played really well.

"Will you help the emperor ask for silver?"

Gu Yao is only worried about Lu Zheng now, and Lu Zheng's reputation for killing over the years is mostly because Lu Zheng did every time he raided his house.

Although raiding the house is fat, it has a bad reputation in the end.

Lu Zheng smiled slowly: "You don't want me to go?" ”

Gu Yao bit her lip and hummed softly.

"Then don't go."

Lu Zheng's heart was warm, no one had ever cared about him, even his mother who gave him his life never mentioned such a thing.

In the future, his life is not only his own, but also Gu Yao's.

He promised to marry her not only to accompany her for a lifetime, but also to give her a lifetime of happiness.

Don't let her be scared anymore and endure the pain of losing him.

If Gu Yao remarries in the future...... He would never allow anyone to touch a finger of her.

"If I'm not mistaken, this time Enke's main examination will be Lord He, and the emperor is also creating conditions for him to be promoted to the position of first assistant."

"He likes the mean."

Lu Zheng continued: "He is also the only person in the court who sees through the mean, he is extremely cunning, and he is very good at currying favor with His Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty generally doesn't spend his brains on the imperial examination questions, saying that it is the emperor who makes the questions, but the scope is mostly delineated by the main examination, and the main examination will send more than ten or twenty questions, and the emperor will circle a few at will."

Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, "With your third brother's talent, I don't care to take shortcuts." But there are shortcuts, and your third brother won't do such a stupid thing. ”

"If he refuses with righteous words, his achievements in his career will always be limited."

"There are many people in this world who are very talented, but everyone who has reached the pinnacle of their career is not the best one among their peers."

"Although the scholarly spirit is respectable, it is a big taboo for His Majesty."

Gu Yao nodded slightly, "I will talk to the third brother, he is not a pedantic person." ”
