Chapter 967: Gu Jin's Life
"I have read the dossier, and Gu Jin has made a lot of contributions to the river embankment, which can be called a lot of hard work."
Emperor Longqing favored Gu Zhan again, and he could be named the Marquis of Yongle, but the hereditary marquis was the same as the country, so he should be cautious.
There are no more than ten hereditary titles left in the founding of the country.
The key is that Emperor Longqing carefully recalled, what did Gu Zhan do?
How can you be so meritorious that you are awarded a hereditary title?
Hasn't Gu Zhan always eaten, drank, and had nothing to do?
Emperor Longqing said in a consultative tone: "I think it is more appropriate to enfeng Gu Jin, what does Aiqing think?"
Lord He blinked his small eyes, and the courtiers were silent.
Emperor Longqing said in his heart, are you silently resisting?
The person who said that he loved Gu Zhan too much that day was also the courtier who stood in front of him and asked Gu Zhan to be a hereditary marquis.
Gu Zhan had only been out of Beijing for a few months, and they began to force him to be the hereditary marquis of Gu Zhan.
Seeing that no one spoke, Lord He could only step forward, "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the ministers are jealous of Yongle Hou in their hearts, really, this is the truth, and there is no water in the mouth." ”
All the officials nodded in unison, as if to say, Your Majesty, let Gu Siye be a person, it's always such a stroke of genius, they can't stand it.
Gu Siye's existence has subverted their perception of the gentlemen, and now Gu Siye has to subvert their perception of officialdom and titles.
"In fact, the minister was very uncomfortable, Yongle Hou did it while playing, and the minister couldn't help but doubt himself and deny himself."
Lord He was also out of the way, "If there is a glimmer of possibility, the minister definitely doesn't want him to get the hereditary title, and the minister has been discussing it for five or six days at this time." ”
With a heavy sigh, Lord He resigned himself to his fate and said: "In addition to jealousy, the ministers should have a conscience, integrity, and loyalty to Your Majesty, and commending and canonizing the Marquis of Yongle is in line with the mandate of heaven and the will of the people." The ministers did not dare to contend with the will of heaven and the people because of jealousy. ”
Lord He led the courtiers to kneel down and said solemnly: "If the Marquis of Yongle is a hereditary title, and the eldest son Gu Jin should be the heir, you still earn it, at least you don't have to worry about how to reward Gu Jin."
Emperor Longqing almost choked to death with his own saliva, "I also want to thank He Aiqing for saving me trouble?" ”
Lord He said softly: "The hereditary title is in the noble but not in the power, Your Majesty, Gu Jin is only twenty years old this year, and he has already become an envoy to observe the wind, when he returns to Beijing, how are you going to promote him to the official position?" Just look at Gu Jin's words and deeds, he will continue to go south to do some things, you don't think that there will be a second-grade civil official in the imperial court who is less than twenty. ”
"This is not the minister's selfishness, I am afraid that Gu Jin will be promoted too quickly, and the minister will not be able to suppress him, and the minister will be jealous of Yongle Hou, but he will not be jealous of Gu Jin, after all, Gu Jin is different from his father, Gu Jin is talented, and he is willing to work hard, and after the ministers are allowed to be raised, Gu Jin will be the pillar of the court and continue to serve His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Your Majesty, don't forget, civil officials are different from martial arts, and qualifications are indispensable."
Emperor Longqing's eyes were slightly dark, and his expression was complicated, "This father and son...... What a headache for me. ”
Gu Jin is indeed what he is going to leave for his son, when he is still in power, Gu Jin has already entered the cabinet, and in the future, the new monarch will ascend the throne, if he trusts Gu Jin, Gu Jin's power will rise greatly, and he can further become a generation of powerful ministers.
If Xinjun didn't trust Gu Jin and left him idle, wouldn't it be a waste of Gu Jin's talent?
Emperor Longqing is not blind to the current problem of government governance, Gu Jin is one of the candidates he chooses to solve the problem.
What's more, there is Gu Zhan!
If Gu Jin can't continue to be an official, anyone Gu Zhan has offended can tear him alive.
Emperor Longqing said that he would protect Zhan I Yongle.
Now it is also good for Gu Jin to press Gu Jin, and it will cut off Gu Jin's road to power.
Seeing that Emperor Longqing had moved, Lord He knelt and crawled to Emperor Longqing's side.
He was said to be flattering, a courtier, and he used to think he was a little shameless.
However, seeing Emperor Longqing getting along with Gu Siye, Lord He thought that he was not as good as Gu Siye's favor, and his title was high, just because he still had a face!
His cheekiness is definitely not as thick as Gu Siye's.
Lord He couldn't do it anyway, so he hugged Emperor Longqing's thigh and cried.
"Is there something wrong with He Aiqing?"
"Your Majesty, how many hereditary noble sons does Wenchen have? I am afraid that since the founding of the dynasty, there has never been a case of the son of Wuxun as a civil official. ”
"Hmm."
"Only the meritorious court, who has made great contributions to His Majesty, and who have dedicated his whole life to the old minister, can be knighted, and the key is that it cannot be hereditary." Lord He said softly: "If Gu Jin is the prince of the world, Wu Xun will not look down on him, and the ministers will also have a strange attitude towards him, Gu Jin is afraid that he will have no way out except for taking the path of a lonely minister."
"I remember that you and Gu Zhan intend to become in-laws of your children? That's how you calculated Gu Jin? ”
"Your Majesty - you are also Gu Siye's in-laws."
Lord He hurriedly kowtowed, "The minister is more loyal to Your Majesty, without Your Majesty, how can there be a minister today?" What's more, this is also for Gu Jin's good, for the sake of Gu's family, for the sake of Gillian's future, Gillian's temperament is cheerful and lively, if you tell the truth, you don't have the heart, you just want to enjoy it. ”
"Since the minister is in love with Gu Jue, he likes the Gu family's strict and square door, and the Gu family's wealth is enough to ensure that Gillian will have a smooth life."
The implication is that if Gu Jin is too ambitious, the Gu family will inevitably be in chaos, so it is better to let Gu Jin be a lonely minister.
Emperor Longqing patted Lord He's head, "I'll think about it again." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Lord He kowtowed, he withdrew with the courtiers.
The ministers whispered, "It seems that the Gu family has to have this hereditary title, and the tea shops and restaurants are talking about the great achievements of the Marquis of Yongle on the river embankment." ”
Lord He gloated and smiled: "Gu Siye is more famous than his son, after all, a legendary miracle can move people's hearts, Gu Jin has done a lot of things, but it is not as good as Gu Siye's roar on the river embankment."
The courtiers shook their heads silently, Gu Siye was so famous and won the hearts of the people, and those dignitaries and dignitaries who lost good land because of the breach of the river embankment didn't dare to say a word.
Even they didn't dare to leak the slightest bit of strangeness.
If the person who ordered the flood discharge was not Gu Siye, I am afraid that that person would be attacked now and would not be able to gain a foothold in the court.
Even if that person is Gu Jin, he may not be able to stand it!
Gu Jin can be regarded as a son and a father, and with Gu Siye staring at the corrupt officials fiercely, Gu Jin can do a lot of things.
"I didn't have Gu Jin's life, but I got Gu Jin's illness, thinking that his father was also Yongle Hou?"
At the gate of the palace, there was a four-grade official kneeling, who held a blood book and wrote to Emperor Longqing to clear the river.
He thought that Gu Jin could go to school, and he himself could do it?
