The emperor was originally moved by Shen Shikang's proposal, but as soon as he thought of the purpose of supporting Gu Chengyu, he dispelled this idea.

Gu Chengyu is still useful, of course it is impossible for him to go to the household department now.

Besides, even if Gu Chengyu served in the Hanlin Academy, he could still solve the affairs of the household department for him. And the little Jiujiu in Shen Shikang's heart, can he still know?

Dai Yuanji of the Ministry of War originally wanted to compete with Shen Shikang, although he was a little dissatisfied with this son's liking to talk on paper, but he had to admit that this son did have some ability.

If you come to his military department, with his careful teaching, you can't say that you can still do a lot.

But the emperor only hesitated for a moment and refused, saying that he had other plans for this person, so he naturally chose to wait and see what happened.

The emperor did not signal De'an to announce his retirement from the court, but only looked at the courtiers below who were silent, which made everyone's hearts lift again, and involuntarily pressed their backs more bent.

De'an was also puzzled, he saw that the emperor's face was already a little tired, and his heart became a little anxious. What did the tea and salt taxes have to do with him? He only cares if the emperor's dragon body can withstand it.

Dean cleared his throat, and the cough echoed through the quiet hall, startling the ministers standing at the bottom of the steps.

Seeing that the emperor did not stop him, De'an immediately understood, and it seemed that the court meeting should be over.

He raised his throat and was about to shout, but the emperor suddenly spoke again.

"Where is Gu Chengyu in the Hanlin Academy?"

Dean took a breath when he was interrupted halfway through, and almost lost his breath. He hurriedly glanced at the emperor, and there was some resentment in his heart. When he cleared his throat, the emperor didn't stop him!

Gu Chengyu's heart suddenly burst and he was quite surprised.

"The minister is here!"

Everyone was also very puzzled, could it be that there was something for Gu Chengyu to do? That's right, since it was Gu Chengyu's method, only Gu Chengyu knew the details best. Therefore, it is not unusual to ask Gu Chengyu to assist the household department in handling this matter.

The emperor paused before he spoke: "The Hanlin Academy has made meritorious contributions to Gu Chengyu's advice, and I have promoted you to be a student of the Zhengliupin Hanlin Academy." ”

This was really a surprise for Gu Chengyu.

"Thank you, Lord Long! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Gu Chengyu didn't expect that the tea tax had not yet been implemented, and the emperor would give him such a big benefit.

Originally, he didn't dare to think about the position of the waiter. After all, the time he has been in the Hanlin Academy is too short, it has only been more than a month, and he still feels incredible that he has been promoted so quickly.

Regarding Gu Chengyu's promotion, there was immediately controversy in the court.

Xia Qing's face was a little heavy, and he was promoted as soon as he entered the Hanlin Academy, which was too fast. It is said that the advice is meritorious, but who knows what will happen after the tea tax is implemented? It's too early.

Besides, his disciple is still a seventh-grade editor, Gu Chengyu is already one level higher, if he is promoted to another level this time, the distance between the two will be even greater.

Thinking of this, he was a little unwilling. glanced at Zhang Shuo and Li Wei vaguely, and gave them a secret look.

Li Wei was a little unhappy, you didn't joke, how could the emperor's words be easily taken back?

Since it has been announced in front of hundreds of officials, it is a sure thing. When he went up at this time, wasn't he asking for hardship? The emperor started a fire, and his official position was light.

Zhang Shuo sighed secretly, he couldn't help but listen to the teacher's words! Although he didn't have much affection for the little junior brother, the teacher hinted that if he didn't say anything, the teacher would definitely take his anger out on him later.

So, Zhang Shuo planned to be a budding bird. He didn't believe that the officials in the Taihe Hall had no opinion on this matter, how could anyone be promoted so quickly? Such a precedent cannot be set, otherwise those newly promoted officials will inevitably be too ambitious in the future, and it is not good for their morale to be too high.

Zhang Shuo came out, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say." ”

When the emperor saw that it was Zhang Shuo, he swept his gaze to Xia Qing, who was standing in front of him with an expressionless face. It took a long time for Zhang Shuo to open his mouth to answer when he was uncertain.

"Zhang Aiqing has any objections to this matter?" The emperor asked coldly.

Zhang Shuo's forehead instantly sweated, and he swallowed all the questioning words in his stomach. After thinking about it, I picked up the most tactful and said it.

"Your Majesty! Gu Xiushu did make meritorious contributions, but he had only just entered the Hanlin Academy for more than a month. In terms of qualifications, those old Hanlin have been there for years, even decades, and Gu Xiu has been promoted to a waiter, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, if you really set a precedent, it will be difficult to appoint, dismiss, and promote the official positions of the Ministry in the future, and the emperor should think twice! ”

Yu Zheng made a saw-mouthed gourd since he went to the court, and he couldn't help but come out of the queue at this time and raised objections to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Zhang Shilang is reasonable, if this matter is a precedent, then it will be really difficult to do the duties of the Ministry of Officials after that. It is also not a good thing for newly promoted officials, and people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate. ”

Later, officials raised objections one after another, and the emperor's face sank even more. Now that he is given a six-grade official position, he will also be constrained by those people?

"Humph! On qualifications? Those old ministers have indeed been officials for many years, but what did they do during their reign? has been mediocre for decades, and even wants to mix with Zhishi, and just wants to do things step by step. If I don't use this method to motivate them, I'm afraid they still think that only by boiling their qualifications can they be promoted? ”

The emperor's words overturned a boatload of people with a rod, and the officials in this palace, except for Gu Chengyu, which one is not an old minister? Could it be that the emperor dislikes them for doing nothing?

The emperor was furious, and there was still a sentence he wanted to blurt out. But after a pause, he didn't say anything after all.

These old ministers come to the court every day, but they can't solve the problem. Could it be that there is only one person available in this court?

When everyone saw that the emperor was angry, they didn't dare to say more.

However, his heart was naturally unhappy, and he glared at Gu Chengyu, who was kneeling on the ground. The emperor said that they were inactive ministers, but Gu Chengyu was promoted, which made them feel uneasy.

Gu Chengyu's heart was cold, the emperor was roasting him on the fire! Wouldn't that make him offend all the officials?

Those people didn't dare to resent the emperor, but they weren't so polite to him.

Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment, could it be that the emperor wanted to come to the bottom of the kettle and let him be a pure minister and a lonely minister completely?

This can't be done, if there are no connections in the officialdom, it will definitely not go far. Gu Chengyu actually sweated on his forehead, and in just a moment, he made up his mind.

"Your Majesty! Wechen is brave and has something to say. "The emperor must be in a bad mood at this time, and his next words may make the emperor unhappy, so Gu Chengyu is also a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Oh? Gu Aiqing also has objections? ”
