The emperor's brows tightened when he heard this, there are pros and cons to this secret fold, it depends on how he handles it. In general, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages, if there is no secret fold, then the officials below deceive him, but he knows nothing.
In the final analysis, because the authority of the cabinet chief assistant is too great, few of those officials dare to choke with Xia Qing.
"How will this be implemented, do you have a solution in mind? Don't go around the bush with me, since you have come up with this method, there is always a way to deal with these problems and drawbacks. ”
The emperor thought for a moment, but he didn't find a solution, so he simply stopped thinking and threw the problem back to Gu Chengyu.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he was sure in his heart. After talking about it for so long, the next thing he wants to focus on is what he wants to say.
Xiao Quanzi listened to the movement outside the imperial study, but the emperor and Gu Chengyu didn't talk loudly. Except for those two laughs, he didn't hear them at all.
At this time, Xia Qingzheng followed De'an on the way to the imperial study, and according to the few words revealed by De'an just now, he knew that the emperor had summoned Gu Chengyu at the same time as summoning Min Feng. The idea he gave Min Feng was that as long as he shared the credit, De'an's unfinished meaning just now seemed to mean that Min Feng showed his feet.
Alas! Min Feng is still too young after all, and he didn't take it to heart what he explained before, he was still thin-skinned when he first entered the officialdom, and this incident can be regarded as a lesson for him.
Xia Qing didn't expect the emperor to attach so much importance to Gu Chengyu, the emperor couldn't have known that the booklet was written by Gu Chengyu before, and he even wanted Gu Chengyu to reap some benefits from this credit, but he underestimated Gu Chengyu.
Compared to Gu Chengyu, Min Feng is still a lot inferior. Even with Zhang Hai on the side, Min Feng failed to take this credit. It seems that Min Feng is inferior to Gu Chengyu in terms of both his mind and his talents.
However, how many people like Gu Chengyu can there be in the world? That Liang Zhirui himself is an old stubborn, but he didn't expect that the disciples he taught were more sleek than the other, and the most important thing was that he was not lacking in talent, which made Xia Qing very envious.
Xia Qing didn't know that Gu Chengyu had another more detailed preface at this time, and it was impossible for De'an to reveal it all, and he wanted to give Shoufu face, but he always knew who he was loyal to.
Servants like them naturally still have to rely on the emperor to become successful, and if they lose their holy favors, those officials will not take them seriously.
When he was about to arrive at the imperial study, Xia Qing saw Zhang Hai and Min Feng kneeling straight outside the imperial study. Xia Qing's face tightened, now the emperor is afraid that he will not let him go easily, he is bound to be quiet.
The cabinet has made the emperor suffer a little in the past few days, and the votes are very rough, I am afraid that the emperor has already been dissatisfied. This incident happened to give the emperor a handle, and he used this reason to pry him hard.
Originally, when the ceremony was passed on, the emperor refuted his face. He originally wanted to bow his head to the emperor and ask for a six-grade official position by taking advantage of the preface, so as to ease the relationship between the emperor and him, and gradually restore the glory of the past.
It seems that the emperor's jealousy and suspicion of him are irreparable, and he still has to hurry up and make other plans.
Dean had already seen the two kneeling outside, but he was concerned about Xiao Quanzi standing outside the imperial study. Why is Xiaoquanzi staying outside? What is the emperor plotting with Lord Gu, and he doesn't even let outsiders hear about it? Or has Master Gu already gone back?
When Min Feng saw the teacher coming, he was suddenly very aggrieved. He glanced at Xia Qing and wanted to say something. But Xia Qing didn't look at him at all, and directly swept past the two of them and headed towards the imperial study.
Min Feng suddenly felt anxious, could it be that the teacher was angry, he messed up this matter, and the teacher was also punished by the emperor. But the teacher asked him to do this, and he can't be blamed for this!
Xia Qing knew what he was thinking when he saw the expression on Min Feng's face just now. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in my heart, but I was punished for kneeling, which was wronged? He has his own way to make the emperor angry, it is impossible to affect Min Feng's career, and this disciple is too calm!
"Xiao Quanzi, you are guarding outside, who is serving in the imperial study?" De'an didn't have the heart to care about the twists and turns in the hearts of Xia Qing's master and apprentice, he walked quickly to Xiao Quanzi and asked about the matter in the imperial study.
"Manager Chen, there is no one in the imperial study. The emperor said that he had something important to discuss with Master Gu, and let the servants guard the door outside, and no one was allowed to enter. Xiao Quanzi thought that Xia Qing had saluted, so he replied to De'an's words.
Xia Qing was shocked when he heard this, Gu Chengyu was just an official from the sixth grade, and he could still conspire with the emperor, how could this be? Gu Chengyu had just entered the Hanlin Academy, and he was afraid that he didn't even know much about the situation in the court, what could he conspire with the emperor?
"Can't we go in?" De'an didn't care what the emperor and Master Gu were talking about, he only cared about the emperor and kept him out of the imperial study.
Xiao Quanzi looked at the two of them with a look of embarrassment, "Yes, the emperor said that no one can go in without his signal!" ”
Xia Qing's face suddenly became even more ugly, the emperor summoned him, but he didn't let him enter the imperial study, what does this mean?
Did you want to hurt his face? He doesn't believe that the emperor can talk about any great things with Gu Chengyu, a hairless young man with a hairless mouth, can do things reliably?
"It's a coincidence, Lord Xia, we have to wait for you!" De'an glared at Xiao Quanzi, although his heart was overturned, he still said apologetically to Xia Qing.
Xiao Quanzi is also wronged! Both of them are highly valued by the emperor, and Chief Chen has been serving the emperor for nearly 40 years. Lord Xia is even more powerful, how dare he offend these two?
Xiao Quanzi looked at Xia Qing and De'an's ugly faces, worried that the two of them would be angry with him because of this. After all, last time he was too good in front of the emperor, he was found by De'an to find an opportunity to clean up fiercely, and then he saw De'an and had to deal with it more carefully.
"Back to the emperor! There are not too many officials who can directly submit secret folds, and there can be a few people who contain and supervise each other, and it is difficult to control too many people. ”
Gu Chengyu glanced at the emperor cautiously, and saw that the emperor was listening intently, and there was no color on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
This is his selfishness, I hope that the emperor can see the current situation in the DPRK clearly, casting a wide net will only make the situation in the DPRK more chaotic, and it will also force Xia Qing and them to take risks.
His approach is more secure, and he can also resist too many officials who are in close proximity, so that the cabinet's votes are ineffective.
Later, he continued: "As for the candidates, in fact, they are not confined to those first- and second-grade masters, and they can also be lower-graded." ”
Gu Chengyu thought in his heart, although those officials who were lower in rank knew a lot, they didn't know as many secrets as those high-grade officials after all. His aim was to retain the power of the cabinet and not to shake the position of cabinet officials.
