Ren Ge didn't expect the emperor to ask about this matter, how could an official position of a six-grade be worthy of the emperor's questioning?

There is no need to guess who left it for, the answer is already coming out. Whoever has been most blessed lately is who it is!

I didn't expect that Gu Chengyu would be promoted to the sixth grade in such a short period of time when he first came to the Hanlin Academy? But he was not convinced, why was he cut off by Gu Chengyu halfway?

He has been working diligently in the Hanlin Academy for more than three years, and although his qualifications are not as good as those old Hanlin, he thinks that his ability is much stronger than those people.

What's more, he is serious in his work and has never slackened off for more than three years. As long as it is a task assigned by Shangguan, he will complete it to the letter.

His whole body was drained, and he held on to the table, his eyes blank.

Zhang Hai shook his head when he saw this, Ren Ge still had too little experience in officialdom. After a few years, he will know that this is nothing in officialdom.

Without connections, it is difficult to move an inch in officialdom, isn't he just like that? Although he is the chief official of the Hanlin Academy, it can be said that he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but in fact, he is an official position from the fifth grade.

There are also a few scholars in the court, but they hold important positions, and they are even more prosperous in the cabinet, which one can he compare?

However, Ren Ge's heart is still not open-minded enough. He was afraid that Ren Ge would be depressed in the future, and he was not as serious as before, so he still planned to comfort him, and he was still very optimistic about this subordinate.

"Ren Xiu, this matter is not without a chance in the future, the old Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy has not been promoted for more than ten years, and everyone else has survived as usual. You are still young, as long as you work diligently and grasp the opportunity, you are not afraid that you will not be promoted. ”

Zhang Hai only stopped when he said this, Ren Ge was just his subordinate. Although he attaches great importance to Ren Ge, he is not Ren Ge's teacher, and it is taboo in officialdom to talk about it lightly.

Ren Ge reluctantly squeezed out a smile when he heard this, and he couldn't accept it for a while! At this moment, he deeply realized that without connections, it was delusional to want to be promoted.

Ren Ge returned to his office all the way in despair, and saw Gu Chengyu drinking tea in the house. couldn't help but have a flash in his eyes, and his heart could be described as full of mixed feelings.

"Jinyu! In the past two days, Min Feng didn't seem to come to the Hanlin Academy, and now the Hanlin Academy is speculating how he provoked the emperor's dislike. As soon as the value was dispersed today, Ye Zhiqiu climbed into the carriage and chatted with Gu Chengyu about Min Feng's gossip.

Gu Chengyu smiled, "In two days, he will be able to come to the Hanlin Academy." No, maybe it's just tomorrow. ”

Gu Chengyu is very sure about this. Now that Xia Qing has done this, the emperor still has to give this face.

"Huh? How do you know that? Ye Zhiqiu knew the inside story, but he wondered why Gu Chengyu was so determined.

"During the previous court meeting, did you pay attention to Xia Shoufu's righteous killing of his relatives?" Gu Chengyu deliberately revealed something to Ye Zhiqiu, after all, Ye Zhiqiu could only rely on himself to get the source of the news.

"I've heard this mentioned by my colleagues, but I didn't expect Xia Shoufu to really do it like this." Ye Zhiqiu sighed a little, if it was him, he might not have such courage. After all, they are their own people, and in the end, they have to affect themselves.

Gu Chengyu sneered, "Do you think he wants to do this?" I think most of them are forced to be helpless. Now that the treasury is empty, the money of the house is just enough to fill the treasury. I've heard my brother mention it before, saying that he has been in arrears for months. ”

Ye Zhiqiu is still too naïve, but this is also related to his insight. What's more, Ye Zhiqiu knew that he didn't have as much inside information as him, so he naturally couldn't connect them.

The emperor's punishment of Min Feng was not heavy, and the price of Xia Qinghua was definitely not small. The copied silver, not to mention that it can make up for the previous margin, may barely be enough for a month or two.

first appeased those soldiers guarding the frontier, and the other three months owed could naturally be slowly figured out.

The emperor used the preface to make Xia Qing bow his head, but in the end, Xia Qing would definitely count this account on his head. Therefore, he will definitely have a lot of trouble in the future.

Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded, "Are you saying that the emperor's intention is to use this matter to let Xia Shoufu solve the problem for the household department?" This ......"

He couldn't believe it, what Gu Chengyu meant was that the side salary had been in arrears for a few months, and the silver needed would be millions, could it be that Xia Shoufu's clansmen had actually looted a million taels of silver?

"It can't be, right? How dare anyone be? How much silver did it have to be looted? ”

"The wealth is moving, and it was not that no one impeached Xia Shoufu before, but the emperor may have other plans, so he suppressed this matter, who in the Manchu Dynasty does not know about his Xia clan's accumulation of wealth?"

Gu Chengyu shook his head, Ye Zhiqiu felt shocked, who of those officials didn't know it?

In fact, according to the current situation, the emperor may have had such a plan a long time ago, and he had to admire the emperor's foresight. It's just that the money obtained by this method is not at ease even in the heart, isn't it?

This is not the right way after all, and the emperor must also understand this, so he asked him to think about filling the treasury.

However, this is just his speculation, and it is not easy to announce it, so he can't mention it to Ye Zhiqiu.

"He's just a clansman, and that's a scapegoat." Don't say it too plainly, Ye Zhiqiu is also a person who wants to mix with officialdom, and it is only right for him to analyze and infer by himself.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what to say when he heard this, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something.

"You're saying that his people may have more money than here?"

Gu Chengyu smiled, "This is only known to Xia Shoufu and other people, we outsiders, we outsiders, don't know the inside story, we just guess in our hearts." You don't have to talk nonsense in the Hanlin Academy, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth. ”

Even if Ye Zhiqiu is a little shy, he has been in the Hanlin Academy for a while, and there are always a few people who have a better relationship on weekdays.

This officialdom is full of pits, who knows people but faces but doesn't know their hearts, who knows which faction those people belong to? Is there an ulterior motive for approaching you?

Ye Zhiqiu nodded hurriedly, "I still know this, so naturally I don't dare to go out and talk nonsense." ”

"That's right! I recently met an old Hanlin who took good care of me. I was able to get started with the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, thanks to him. ”

Ye Zhiqiu was very grateful when he talked about this person.

"Oh? What is the character of this person, you know it in your heart. If you don't have the money, just tell me that you will pay it back in the future. Since people take good care of you, don't be stingy. ”

No wonder Ye Zhiqiu has changed his previous sad face recently, and has become happy, it turns out that he has found a senior who guides him.

"Don't worry, if you really don't make a move, I will definitely talk to you." Ye Zhiqiu knew that Gu Chengyu had good intentions, so he said this, there was no intention of despising him, he was already trying to accept the kindness of others calmly.
