Chapter 377: The First Person of Special Fortune
Gu Zuo has a bad wife, who is the Xie family, and has been following him for the past few years.
As a prefect in Henan, as the head of the household department, and then slowly promoted, Gu Zuo has always had her on the road.
Xie Shi understands the righteousness, Gu Zuo is upright, and the husband and wife are affectionate, although the life is not luxurious, but it is always happy.
However, after Gu Zuo was arrested,
Xie was as desperate and painful as the sky fell,
Gu Zuo's colleagues who have a good relationship on weekdays have been comforting her, saying that if Gu Shilang is deeply responsible, he must also be convicted of capital crimes like Yongkang Hou, Zou Cheng and others.
But the fact that there has been a delay in conviction shows that things have taken a turn for the better.
Xie has been harboring such fantasies since hearing this.
“…… Later, I heard that although the husband was in the edict prison, he was not punished and was not subject to interrogation, and the concubine felt a little more at ease, and today she finally looked forward to her husband's return. ”
After experiencing the reunion of life and death, it must still be different.
Xie Shi did not dislike her stinky husband either, and leaned on his shoulder and sobbed quietly.
"Ma'am, I'm hungry."
Hearing this, Xie wiped his tears, wiped his hand on his apron, and then said, "Concubine, let's do it, eat a bowl of somen noodles, right?" Husband...... Or go and wash, change your clothes and eat. ”
"Okay."
His son, who had just turned ten, was standing under the eaves of the porch with his clothes.
Gu Zuo walked over and touched his head, and the little guy didn't say much.
He didn't have any injuries on his body, but it was not a fun experience to be locked up in prison, and he lost a lot of weight after more than a month, and his cheekbones looked a lot more prominent.
Scrubbing the body is also washing the muddy water on the ground.
When the family of three sits down to eat together, there is a feeling of being in a different world.
"Madam, you've worked hard these days."
Xie's nose was sour, and he only knew how to bow his head and suck his face.
Gu Zuo turned his head to look at the house, in fact, he was a little ...... The feeling of being surrounded by walls,
"Originally, there was a pair of words?"
The concubine sold it. Please forgive me! "Xie is dozens of years old and still looks like a little daughter-in-law.
Gu Zuo was not an official on the first day, he naturally knew why he wanted to sell it.
Originally, there was no silver in the family, so he must have exchanged all the valuable things in the family for money, and then took the silver to support all kinds of relationships.
If you don't have money in your hand, you won't be able to enter many places.
"Forget it, it's good for us to be reunited as a family."
But Xie still didn't figure it out, "It was said outside that the husband was in good grace, but he was suddenly arrested at that time." What the hell is going on? ”
"It's hard to explain what happened in the DPRK and China for a while. In general, being a husband is also framed. Fortunately, Your Majesty Shengming, it is not so easy for some treacherous villains to deceive the current saint. ”
Xie folded his hands, and they also heard some emperors' good things on weekdays, but this time the matter happened to themselves, and many feelings were real.
At this time, she also prayed for more blessings to the emperor.
In the early afternoon,
Yan Song knocked on the door.
He has been waiting for a long time, in order not to disturb the reunion of his family after a long absence.
Gu Zuo has been locked up for so many days, and Guan's heart is much calmer, even if Yan Song is just a waiter in the attendant room, he has not rejected people thousands of miles away.
"I'm bothering Gu Shilang."
"Where the words. Please come in. ”
The couple was polite, but it was a little simple, and what was in front of Yan Song was white water, not even tea.
Yan Song was also impressed,
How can Your Majesty be willing to kill such a person?
Only such a monarch can make good use of such people.
“…… A few days ago, His Majesty proposed the term "special Yulu". Yan Song took a sip of tasteless water and said slowly: "Xia Guan guesses that the reason for this is that His Majesty was somewhat worried that Gu Shilang was really greedy for ink at that time. And Gu Shilang's life is really simple. Your encounter has helped to resolve this issue. ”
"Si is a burrow, but I am Dexin. Since Gu became an official, he has not taken extravagance as his life's ambition. Besides, I was poor in my life and got used to it. But what does it mean that what Attendant Yan said is particularly good? ”
"That is, Your Majesty considers that there are some sincere officials in the court, and their lives are indeed hard, and even it is difficult to sustain them by relying on their salaries alone, so he wants to add a sum of money to these people's regular income. Three thousand, five thousand. Of course, it seems that Gu Shilang must be the highest level of 10,000 taels. ”
"Ten thousand taels?!" Gu Zuo's voice raised a few degrees, "Ordinary people's homes, the annual living expenses will not exceed 20 taels, and 10,000 taels is 500 households!" Gu's family of three, where did they get so much silver? Attendant Yan, has Your Majesty made this holy decree? If you don't have us, you should enter the palace immediately, and ask Your Majesty to withdraw your order, this is absolutely impossible! As soon as this case was opened, the extravagance of the imperial court wrinkled, and the consequences were endless! ”
"Huh." Yan Song stretched out his hand and stopped him, "Gu Shilang, don't be impatient." If you think about it, what did Your Majesty do, didn't you think much about it? ”
"The special incident is not only about Gu Shilang, but also about other ministers in the court. The lower officials also said earlier that His Majesty has encountered several big eucalyptus cases since the imperial pole, and the disposal is severe. This time, there are some slight remarks in the DPRK and China. Therefore, this silver is to show that His Majesty is not a harsh king, and it is not just tailor-made for Gu Shilang, but also one of them. ”
"Besides, people like Mr. Yu Shizhang, the left deputy capital, and Gu Shilang, are the pillars of the imperial court, but what is the result? What does a young official think about eating bran and swallowing vegetables and eating vegetarian food for the country? Therefore, His Majesty cannot see the pillars of the country and cannot be duly rewarded. This is also the second. ”
In the end, Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. Only by letting Gu Shilang have no worries can he serve the court wholeheartedly. This is also the third. ”
"With these three sections, Gu Shilang still thinks that His Majesty is just to give you silver?"
Gu Zuo said seriously: "Gu Mou is serving the monarch's father, and he is not for this yellow and white thing!" ”
"Well, this is Your Majesty's character. If you don't take it, Your Majesty will be willing to give it. If you take it, Your Majesty will punish you. ”
"This ......"
It's kind of weird.
To put it bluntly, it's too personal.
But the emperor is like this, what can he do?
"But Gu still thinks that the treasury is ......"
"Gu Shilang." Yan Song lowered his head and said in a small voice: "The officials of the imperial court are really low, and some people are not willing to be greedy for ink, but have to be greedy for ink. But with a special salary, as long as you work hard, you don't need to worry about the silver. Gu Shilang doesn't want it, it doesn't mean that others don't want it. This method is also to save some officials who really serve the country. Besides, who takes a special salary, this is for His Majesty to nod, and it is also related to His Majesty's control of the court. ”
Gu Zuo couldn't refute this anymore.
"Your Majesty...... It is indeed well-intentioned. ”
Immediately afterwards, Yan Song took out two things from his cuffs, one was a letter written by the emperor. One is two silver tickets of five thousand taels.
If there was no emperor, it would be like he Yan Song was bribing.
"The matter of the special fortune is still in the making, but Your Majesty has made up its mind. After the official decree came out, Gu Shilang's name must be listed on it. This time it can only be an oral message. As for the money, take it. In this way, Mrs. Gu and her children can live more comfortably, and Gu Shilang will no longer have to worry about life in the future. In the future, I will be faithful day and night. ”
Gu Zuo took the letter and the money, and there were some unspeakable emotions in his heart.
He had no resentment about his imprisonment. If he hadn't been imprisoned, he would have been caught in the salt class, and I don't know how many grudges he would have to make.
The emperor protected him so much.
Nowadays, there are such preferential treatments.
So he was moved in his heart.
Your Majesty, it is really the best Your Majesty in three generations.
Nothing else,
Gu Zuo knelt down in the direction of the palace and said with tears in his eyes: "Minister, Gu Zuo, thank the Holy Grace!" ”
Yan Song breathed a sigh of relief.
Things in this world are very strange.
Then he said that some people don't give him this silver, and he tries to get it for himself. Some people, you give him, he doesn't have to.
Gu Zuo is the latter.
So giving him money is not an easy task.
In this case, he will be able to return to the palace to make a business.
In fact, the first sentence of Zhu Houzhao's question also means this,
"Convince him to take it?"
"Fortunately, Gu Shilang has accepted the silver. And His Majesty's expectation was good, he was indeed reluctant to accept it at first. ”
Zhu Houzhao still didn't understand, he said meaningfully: "I still see people accurately." But in the future, you will be the same. If you don't want money, I will put it in your pocket. ”
"Minister, remember Your Majesty's teachings. However, looking at the attitude of the waiter, the special fortune of the imperial court may not be so smooth. ”
"Of course I know, that's why I asked the ministers to discuss it."
The reason why it doesn't go well is also simple, and some people don't want it! And even if they do, there will be people who will donate it. Many people are hateful, but there are undeniably lovely people who exist.
A few days later, Gu Zuo handed a slip into the palace.
