Don't say that for the sake of being the uncle of the second prince, Wan Xuenian is still the grandfather of the third prince! The emperor did not relent.

Therefore, this incident not only alleviated the crisis of the treasury, but also benefited their households, and more importantly, when he went to court in the future, the emperor did not have to scold him again.

What if the emperor immediately said two sentences at this moment? After being scolded for so long, his face has been honed. When the tea tax is done, he will think about the salt introduction again, and he will no longer have to be afraid of the ridicule behind the backs of those colleagues in the future.

Therefore, he wanted Gu Chengyu to go to the household department before, but unfortunately the emperor did not agree.

Even the head of the household department has no opinion, so the other officials will not meddle.

The princes will not intervene, the father is a golden mouth, and it is impossible to take back what he says, so it is naturally impossible for them to make their father unhappy.

The second prince sneered secretly, the position of the attendant is only a sixth grade, and it is worth the big fight of these officials? It also affects the appointment and dismissal of officials in the ministry, and this hat is really buttoned up.

How many talents like Gu Chengyu can there be in this world? Yes, that's also rare. If those new officials had such ability, then the Dayan Dynasty would have prospered long ago.

After all, it's not that you're incompetent, but you're jealous of others? It stands to reason that the mention of the tea tax is enough for Gu Chengyu to be promoted.

Gu Chengyu thought about it, could it be that the emperor let him go so easily? How can the officials in the court give up?

"Do you have any objections?" It was originally a step, and it was naturally impossible for the emperor to really assign any difficult work to Gu Chengyu, after all, Gu Chengyu also shared a lot of worries for him.

For a while, the hall was somewhat quiet. Some officials are still not convinced, but they know that even if they raise objections, the emperor will not waver, so it is better not to be disliked.

Xia Qing glanced at Li Wei again, only to see that Li Wei was silent, only looking down at the ground.

He couldn't help but feel angry, Zhang Shuo, as his disciple, was undoubtedly standing with him.

And he also valued Li Wei very much in the past, and took care of him a lot in the officialdom. But Levi didn't say anything later, which made him very dissatisfied.

"Father! Since the matter of tea tax was raised by Gu Xiu, Erchen thought that it was not inappropriate to be promoted to the rank of attendant of the Hanlin Academy. If you talk about seniority according to seniority, then there are no people in the officialdom who are older than the adults here, so why don't you see them standing here? ”

Everyone actually felt that the words of the second prince also made some sense, seniority is important, but ability is even more important. Although the words of the second prince were too straightforward, they were not angry this time.

After all, isn't the reason why they can stand here because they have the ability? Can an incompetent person become a high-ranking official?

Thinking like this, everyone's hearts are a little better. After all, the emperor is angry for a while, if they are really incompetent, then why don't they see the emperor taking their official positions?

Gu Chengyu didn't care what the officials were thinking, he looked at the second prince strangely, he didn't expect the second prince to say good things for him, this was the first time they had seen each other.

The eldest prince saw that the second prince had already come out, and he hurriedly followed. can't let Gu Chengyu be grateful to the second child, and feel that he owes the second child a favor, and it is the most difficult to repay the kindness since ancient times.

Besides, he didn't support his father's will as a son, and his father didn't annoy him?

"Yes! Father. As the saying goes, ambition is not in old age. Similarly, in the officialdom, an official cannot be measured by age and length of time, as long as he has the ability, can share the worries of his father and the emperor, and contribute to the court, then promotion is not indispensable. ”

The emperor was a little surprised, not because of the boss. was surprised that the second child actually said a few words for Gu Chengyu today, could it be that the second child really moved his mind?

Xia Qing saw that the two princes had given Gu Chengyu face, and it was not good to raise any more objections.

The third prince saw that the two elder brothers had already expressed their attitude, and he could only speak out in response.

"Father! The sons and daughters also have the same meaning as the eldest brother, if the newly promoted officials have merits, but the court does not express anything, wouldn't it chill their hearts? ”

The third prince still hasn't said a word, that is, such a demon can only come out in many years, and the worries of those courtiers are purely superfluous, thinking that all of them in this court are Gu Chengyu?

In fact, the third prince felt that his father was right, and these officials were very slippery. The treasury is so empty, they all think that this is the business of the household, they all wait to see the joke, but they refuse to help the son, and the father is afraid that he will be dissatisfied with them for a long time.

However, there are a lot of schemings behind these old ministers, and that little bit of thought is used to calculate others and Rachel's party for personal gain. Naturally, they don't care about things that don't benefit much.

When the emperor saw that the three princes finally made a statement, his face looked much better.

Xia Qing just didn't want Gu Chengyu to take advantage of it today, so I'm afraid he can't. It's better to wait for a later day to slowly clean him up, the higher he climbs, the harder he falls.

When the emperor's gaze came over, Xia Qing hurriedly came out, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Li Wei and Zhang Shuo looked over in surprise and agreed?

Levi let out a sigh of relief, and even Shousuke-sama himself agreed, so he didn't need to be this villain.

The officials looked at each other a few times, and had no choice but to shout: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Gu Chengyu knew that he had passed this level today, but fortunately he didn't offend those ministers to death. The emperor may not be very happy there, but according to what the emperor just meant, it is clear that he will still use him, and he will go back and think of a way to coax him.

Of course, this method must satisfy the emperor. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for the emperor to clean him up? Just let Shangfeng put on a small shoe for him, it was enough for him.

"Since you have no objections, the matter is settled."

After a pause, he said in a cold voice: "Gu Aiqing, regarding the matter of salt introduction, within two days, you will draw up a detailed charter for me." ”

The emperor thought about it, but he still couldn't just let Gu Chengyu go, he had to squeeze him dry. If you let him know that Gu Chengyu still has something to hide this time, see how you clean him up.

Gu Chengyu hurriedly replied: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

At the same time, he was relieved to be bitter in his heart, the emperor should forgive him. It's just that he is still angry, and it seems that he has nothing to hide about the salt introduction, and he is bound to satisfy the emperor.

"Retreat!" After the emperor finished, he didn't wait for De'an to shout, he got up from the dragon chair and walked out of the Taihe Palace, leaving only the ministers looking at each other.

When Gu Chengyu followed the officials outside, his expression was still a little dazed. Suddenly, a breeze blew, and he felt a little cold.

smiled bitterly, it turned out that he was sweating and his underwear was already wet.

The other courtiers hurried out, but instead of rushing back to pay the bill, they had to discuss with their cronies before the tea tax was imposed, and they could make a fortune at that time, which was a great opportunity.

Even the military department and the household department were in a hurry, they didn't even have time to look at Gu Chengyu, and walked straight out of the hall.
