Chapter 115: Conspiracy of the Kong family, dialogue between ruler and minister, Gu Jinnian seals th
Daxia Qufu.
Inside the Confucius Sage Pavilion.
More than thirty sages gathered to discuss matters regarding the sacred artifact.
People in the world don't know what the functions of the sacred artifacts are, but they know that the sacred artifacts obtained by Gu Jinnian, in particular, are even more unique.
Naturally, they were a little wary and discussed here.
"Elder Kong Xin, what do you mean by these words?"
An elder spoke and looked at the other person, full of curiosity.
Not just him, many elders couldn't help but look at Kong Xin.
As soon as these words came out, Kong Xin seemed calm.
"The Confucian Holy Land is the most holy realm in the world. If a Confucian scholar can enter it, he can at least be promoted to a higher level."
"Gu Jinnian is talented and has extraordinary talents in Confucianism and Taoism. He is considered a leader even in my Kong family."
"He is very young and has an unlimited future. However, Confucianism and Taoism are full of thorns. Although Gu Jinnian is extremely talented, he has not made a statement until now. This is enough to understand how difficult Confucianism and Taoism are."
"You can't succeed just by writing a few poems."
"It's like Kong Yu. He was placed in high hopes and made his voice in the Holy Pool. He read the ancient books of saints at the age of three."
"Now there is no breakthrough to become a great Confucian. Gu Jinnian has the qualifications to be a saint, but he only has the qualifications. It does not mean that he will definitely become a saint in the future."
"But if he can get the support of the Kong family and go to the Holy Land, the future will be truly limitless."
"The quota for the Saint Realm, the quota for the Sage Pavilion, and the Confucius Saint Manual are used as trading objects to exchange for the sacred objects of my Confucius family. What do you think?"
Kong Xin opened his mouth and expressed his opinion.
As soon as these words came out, some people frowned, others looked thoughtful, and the scene became a little cold.
After all, they knew how valuable the sacred objects were. To put it bluntly, if someone offered this in exchange for them, they would never agree to it.
"Elder Kong Xin, the Linglong Holy Ruler is one of the nine sacred tools of Confucianism and Taoism, which can weaken a person's talent. With Gu Jinnian's temperament, would he be willing to give the sacred tool to my Kong family? Although the status of the Holy Realm is extremely precious, it can be compared.
As a sacred artifact, it’s still a bit unworthy of mentioning.”
Some people voiced their opinion that this was a bit inappropriate and a bit overwhelming.
"But Gu Jinnian doesn't necessarily know the function of the sacred weapon."
Kong Xin answered calmly, appearing calm.
But as soon as he said this, a voice immediately sounded.
"Although Gu Jinnian doesn't know, we know in our hearts that such behavior is like a villain. Elder Kong Xin, I know that the sacred artifact is important, but if you use this method to get the sacred object back, I will not agree."
The voice sounded dissatisfied.
It was a middle-aged man, wearing a Confucian robe, sitting in the third row.
This is an elder of the Confucian sect.
Kong Zheng.
As soon as these words were said, several voices also sounded.
"Indeed, a gentleman has certain things to do and certain things not to do. If he does this, he is just like a villain."
"Holy artifacts are important, but a gentleman's integrity is even more important. Furthermore, Elder Kong Xin just said that this sacred artifact belongs to the Holy Ancestor, which I cannot agree with."
"The Holy Ancestor chose three items at the beginning because he wanted everyone in the world to have a chance and did not want to monopolize them."
"This is the style of a saint. Now that Gu Jinnian has obtained this holy object by his own ability, what can we say?"
"I can agree with the deal you mentioned. If Gu Jinnian agrees, this is the best. If Gu Jinnian doesn't agree, he must not have such an idea."
Several voices sounded, and they all tended to be younger, at least in the Sage Pavilion, they were considered one or two younger.
Led by Kong Zheng, there was opposition and disapproval.
In their view, sacred objects are indeed important, but they must not be taken away from others and must maintain a gentleman's integrity.
However, there are not many people who have spoken out. There are more than thirty people here, and only four or five people have spoken out.
"No."
When Kong Zheng and others spoke, Kong Xin seemed indifferent.
"If it were other sacred vessels, I wouldn't be like this. My Kong family has three major sacred vessels. In fact, one more is not more, and one less is not a lot."
"But it's the Exquisite Holy Ruler. This is what I'm really worried about."
"The Exquisite Holy Ruler can reduce talents and redefine the realm of Confucianism and Taoism. The realm of Confucianism and Taoism in the world is achieved through the efforts of four generations of saints."
"Later generations of saints also added or modified based on the foundation of the saint ancestors."
"If a great scholar or Su Wenjing had obtained this sacred artifact, I wouldn't have said anything, but it happened to be obtained by Gu Jinnian."
"He is an enemy of our Confucian family. It is difficult to resolve grudges. If one day, Gu Jinnian uses the Linglong Holy Ruler to forcibly modify the Confucian and Taoist practice methods. I dare to ask you, who can bear the consequences?"
Kong Xindan opened his mouth.
Analyze the pros and cons.
"Elder Kong Xin is right what he said. The Kong family is not short of a holy weapon, but this kind of thing cannot fall into Gu Jinnian's hands."
"It's not just as simple as redefining the realm of Confucianism and Taoism. Gu Jinnian has a violent personality. If he masters the Linglong Holy Ruler and meets me, a scholar of the Kong family, and uses his talent to defeat his talent, the Kong family will be like a formidable enemy."
"Yes, it's okay for me, Gu Jinnian doesn't dare to mess around yet, but if I, the genius of the Kong family, such as Kong Yu and others, provoke Gu Jinnian, according to his character, I am afraid that his talent will be wiped out."
"Gentleman, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."
Voices came out one after another, these people were more supportive of Kong Xin's statement.
The Shengxian Pavilion itself is a place of dispute between the two parties, and it is ultimately decided by the number of people. Of course, it is said that Shenggong has great power, but in the final analysis, everyone's wishes must be followed for such a major matter.
"There is no problem with the transaction."
"My idea is very simple. You can give it a try, but if Gu Jinnian doesn't agree, the matter will be dropped."
"In any case, Gu Jinnian is a scholar and a genius in Confucianism and Taoism. Although he has grievances with the Confucian family, these grievances can be resolved slowly. If the attitude is too tough or the methods are too dirty, the conflicts will become more and more serious."
"And it is not in line with the way of a saint, nor is it in line with the way of a gentleman."
"I have an idea. I would like to ask Gu Jinnian to attend the Confucius family banquet and get a feel for the situation. If Gu Jinnian is not willing, we will not force him. If Gu Jinnian is willing, we can agree as long as the conditions are not too harsh."
"What do you think?"
Kong Zheng spoke. He didn't disagree with the deal, but he cared about Gu Jinnian's mood. If Gu Jinnian was willing, that would be great. Both parties had their own needs and would not continue to intensify the conflict.
After all, the Confucian Holy Land is indeed a rare holy land. Everyone has only one chance to enter, and there will be great gains for scholars.
But if Gu Jinnian doesn't want to, then forget it.
Kong Zheng's words were supported by a small group of people.
But most people didn't speak, especially Kong Xin and others, whose expressions changed.
Obviously, they want to get the sacred artifact.
"You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."
"The sacred weapon cannot fall into Gu Jinnian's hands. After all, he acts recklessly. It can be seen from the incident at Bailu Mansion that Gu Jinnian does not abide by the rules."
"The relationship between the Kong family and the Gu family is not good at the moment, so the sacred artifact must be brought back."
Finally, Chuan Shenggong's voice sounded.
He expressed his opinion.
Want a sacred weapon.
As soon as this statement came out, Kong Xin and others couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with this view.
But Kong Zheng and others couldn't help but stand up.
"Doing this is not in line with the principles of a gentleman. If it spreads out, how will outsiders view our Kong family? The Kong family is a family of saints, how can we be so shameless?"
Kong Zheng spoke, he was dissatisfied with this decision, because in his opinion, Gu Jinnian would never agree to hand over the sacred weapon.
It is even said that few people in this world are willing to cede the sacred vessel.
The intention of Chuan Shenggong is obviously to rob the sacred vessel.
"Elder Kong Zheng."
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
"It's just a transaction, there's no talk of robbery."
Duke Chuan Sheng looked indifferent and asked Kong Zheng to calm down.
After hearing this, Kong Zheng immediately fell silent and sat in his original position, but everyone could see that he was a little unhappy.
"Elder Kong Xin, what if Gu Jinnian refuses to trade?"
The preacher opened his mouth and inquired about Kong Xin.
As soon as he said this, Kong Xin stroked his beard and said calmly.
"It's simple. The sacred artifact was originally the property of our Saint Ancestors. It is a fate that Gu Jinnian got it today."
"We can think that it was Confucius who chose Gu Jinnian and appointed future disciples. As long as Gu Jinnian is willing to join the Confucian family, then this sacred artifact belongs to Gu Jinnian."
"If Gu Jinnian is still unwilling to join the Confucian family, the scholars in this world will not stand by and watch. The exquisite holy ruler can weaken people's talent. Aren't these scholars all in danger? There will definitely be countless voices criticizing Gu Jinnian."
"As for me, the Kong family, we only need to wait until the time is right and take the initiative to keep the sacred artifact. After Gu Jinnian becomes a great scholar, we will return the sacred artifact to him. Of course, the prerequisite is that Gu Jinnian completes the Kong family trial."
"Holy weapons need to be mastered by virtuous people. I think all scholars in the world know this and can understand it."
"Otherwise, if there is no moral person, the Kong family will have the responsibility to take it back by force."
"What do you think of what I said?"
Kong Xin opened his mouth and once he mentioned his plan, everyone present was completely silent.
Everyone understood what Kong Xin meant.
Want to take advantage of the 'jealousy' of scholars all over the world and put pressure on Gu Jinnian? After all, they know it in their hearts, so they want to exchange a holy place for a holy weapon?
Who is willing? Moreover, this sacred artifact is a sacred object of Confucianism and Taoism. Scholars all over the world are naturally afraid of Gu Jinnian. Of course, the biggest problem is not fear.
But jealousy.
After all, it is a sacred object.
Let alone a great scholar, even a quasi-sage might not be able to possess this thing.
Gu Jinnian possesses the sacred weapon.
In fact, everyone is jealous. Unless you are a saint, how many of you here are not envious or jealous of Gu Jinnian?
Kong Xin's idea was to use the power of scholars all over the world to put pressure on Gu Jinnian and use the jealousy of scholars all over the world.
Scholars all over the world are naturally willing to do so.
After all, I don’t have one, and I certainly don’t want you to have one either.
Very simple logic.
Kong Xin's move was very poisonous.
The deal was done first, but the outcome was basically doomed. Gu Jinnian would not agree to the deal.
If you don't agree to the deal, then you can start looking through ancient books and produce evidence, or make it up on the spot to let the world know that this sacred object belongs to the Confucius family, or to be more precise, it belongs to Saint Kong.
Since it belongs to Saint Kong, if you get it, you are destined to the Kong family. Since you are destined, it is not too much for you to join my Kong family, right?
If you join my Kong family, I'm sorry. The Kong family will keep this thing for you. Isn't that too much?
What? You don’t agree? Then you don’t trust the Kong family.
What? You don’t want to join the Kong family? That’s even better. This is the sacred object of the Kong family. You got it. My Kong family praises you for getting the gift of a saint. It doesn’t matter if you don’t join my Kong family. But I want to prevent you from taking this.
This thing is being misbehaved, can we take it over and keep it safe?
no?
Then see for yourself, among the scholars in the world, whether you can stand it or not.
It is a crime for an ordinary man to carry a jade without any guilt.
This is Kong Xin's method.
Very poisonous.
From the beginning to the end, the Kong family did not take anything by force, but they continued to exert pressure.
Gu Jinnian can indeed ignore the Kong family, but he cannot ignore the scholars in the world. Can you withstand Yuyou's words?
Don't say anything, at worst I won't hear what's going on outside the window.
Does this work?
The answer is obviously of no use.
"Such methods are too despicable."
"I don't agree."
At this time, Kong Zheng stood up and rebuked him angrily, refusing to agree to this plan at all.
Too despicable.
Disgusting.
"After all, I didn't want to occupy this sacred artifact. It seems to be flawless, but in fact it goes against my conscience and the way of a gentleman. Doing this will only bring shame to my Kong family."
"It is an insult to the saint."
"Elder Kong Xin, I will never agree."
Kong Zheng refused directly.
Not only him, but four or five people stood up one after another to support Kong Zheng, while the others looked embarrassed, hesitant and entangled.
Kong Zheng was a Confucian and upheld justice in his heart and believed that this matter was unacceptable.
Hearing this, Kong Xin couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Isn't that what a gentleman is doing?"
"I want to ask you, Gu Jinnian controls the Linglong Holy Ruler. If in the future, he does something wrong and weakens the talents of others, who will be responsible?"
Kong Xin opened his mouth and asked.
"Why should we be responsible? If Gu Jinnian does this, he will definitely be punished, and it won't be the Kong family's turn to blame him, right?"
Kong Zheng opened his mouth and started arguing with Kong Xin.
"It's a joke. This exquisite holy ruler belongs to the Holy Ancestor. If Gu Jinnian really does something wrong with this thing, how can the scholars in the world not blame us, the Kong family, for sitting idly by?"
"Kong Zheng, you are bold. Everything Elder Kong Xin said was to guard against Gu Jinnian's harmful intentions."
"If Gu Jinnian has no intention of harming others, wouldn't it be enough to wait until he becomes a great scholar and then return the holy ruler to him?"
"If Gu Jinnian has harmful intentions, we can take precautions against it in the future. Where is the mistake? Where is the mistake?"
Three or four people spoke. These were the Holy Sect camp and they advocated family interests.
"It's high-sounding, too high-sounding. What you said is really too high-sounding."
"I support what Kong Zheng said. The Kong family does not lack a sacred weapon. There is no need to exaggerate the threat because of greed in your heart."
"Does the Confucius family rely on suppressing others to achieve immortality for thousands of years? It relies on Bai Na Haichuan and academic disputes. What you do is completely mercenary. The sacred artifact obtained through this method is simply
It has defiled the Kong family."
The two forces are constantly fighting.
But it is obvious that the support of the Saint sect is more and that of the Confucian sect is less.
Among the seventy-two sages, there are fifty-two from the Sage sect, while there are only twenty from the Confucian sect, and among the twenty from the Confucian sect, there are still a few who are considered half-sage sects and are not particularly steadfast.
"enough."
At this moment.
A voice sounded.
It was an old man with white hair. He spoke slowly, and the Sage Pavilion became quiet for a moment.
There are seventy-two elders in Shengxian Pavilion, and each of them has a very high status in the Kong family.
But the seventy-two elders also have rankings.
The higher the ranking, the higher the status, and the greater the right to speak.
This is an unspoken rule.
The old man who spoke at this time was the tenth elder. As soon as he spoke, everyone naturally fell silent.
This person's name is Kong Wuya.
"I want to be fair."
Kong Wuya made a dull sound. He was a little late and raised his head to look at the crowd.
"What Kong Zheng said about this matter is absolutely true."
When he opened his mouth, the expressions of Kong Xin and others changed, but the next moment, Kong Wuya changed the topic.
"However, Kong Xin's worries are not a problem."
"The Exquisite Holy Ruler is indeed a threat to the scholars in the world. At the moment, Gu Jinnian has the heart of a Confucian scholar, but after all, he is a powerful person in the Great Xia Dynasty and the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo."
"Who can guarantee that Gu Jinnian will not harm others because of the imperial court?"
"Do you know why the Holy Ancestor only took three holy objects and left?"
"It's because I was worried that having nine holy objects would cause evil thoughts, so I only took three."
"I believe Gu Jinnian is a good person, but after he possesses the Holy Ruler, I am also worried that he will fall into the devil's path, so no matter what method is used, this exquisite Holy Ruler must be placed in the Kong family."
"It doesn't matter if Gu Jinnian joins my Kong family or not, but this sacred artifact must be in the Kong family."
"It will be kept by the Confucius family. If Gu Jinnian becomes a great Confucian and is indeed virtuous, it will be returned to him. If he has no virtue, it cannot be returned, otherwise it will harm the world."
"Of course, if Gu Jinnian is willing, he can be given a good name in the ancient and modern books, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation."
Kong Wuya spoke, his tone unquestionable.
But as soon as this statement came out, everyone looked slightly surprised.
Leave your name in the ancient and modern books?
This is no small matter. Being able to leave a name in the ancient and modern books, and a good name, can increase one's popularity and luck, including the luck of future generations.
Moreover, if they want to leave their name in the ancient and modern books, the Kong family also needs to spend a lot of money.
Among the seventy-two sages of the Confucius family, few people from ancient times to the present can leave a message on it. Even the saints passed down through the generations cannot leave their names.
You must make a huge contribution, or do something that is outrageous to both humans and gods.
"Elder Wuya."
"I, the Kong family, will not take any responsibility for this matter. Please think again, Elder Wuya."
When Kong Zheng spoke, he looked ugly. Doing so would definitely cause big trouble.
"The Kong family will not treat Gu Jinnian badly, and the Kong family has never wanted to occupy Gu Jinnian's things, but to appease the hearts of scholars in the world."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The Kong family is the leader of scholars in the world, so it is natural to ensure the safety of scholars in the world."
"I think this matter is feasible. What do you think?"
Kong Wuya ignored Kong Zheng and asked everyone.
Having said this, many people did not hesitate any longer, and dozens of people raised their hands and agreed to this plan.
There were also a small number of people who did not raise their hands, indicating that they neither supported nor vetoed.
As for Kong Zheng and others, they stood up and stood up, which represented their rejection.
Of the thirty-two people, 17 agreed, eight abstained and seven rejected.
At the moment, Kong Wuya looked at Chuan Sheng Zongdao.
"Clan leader, we cannot gather all the seventy-two sages. It is up to you to make the final decision."
Kong Wuya spoke calmly.
Any major meeting must be attended by all members of the Sage Pavilion. If half of the meeting is absent, the clan leader can make the final vote.
"For the safety of scholars all over the world, this can be done."
Duke Chuan Sheng hesitated for a while, and finally gave this answer.
Agreed to this plan.
"Clan leader."
Kong Zheng spoke again, wanting to refute something.
"Kong Zheng, you should know the rules of Sage Pavilion."
"This is our will, what else do you want to say?"
Kong Xin immediately spoke, looking at Kong Zheng and saying this.
Hearing this, Kong Zheng was a little indignant, but in the end he lowered his head.
The strength of a few of them is completely inadequate. The minority must obey the majority. This is the rule.
Seeing Kong Zheng like this, Chuan Shenggong continued to speak.
"alright."
"I understand Elder Kong Zheng's thoughts, but after all, this matter involves the safety of scholars all over the world."
"But what Elder Kong Zheng said just now is correct. From now on, another 10% of the resources will be allocated to the Confucian elders to train more disciples. The great battle of the world is coming, so Elder Kong Zheng still needs to be more attentive.
"
"In a few months, Jixia Academy will open again. The Kong family has won nine consecutive crowns. If it can win this academic competition, it will be the tenth crown. This academic competition has destiny, and this
It is also a top priority.”
"Elder Kong Zheng, I'm tired of you."
Chuan Shenggong said that he understood what Kong Zheng meant, but there was no other way. Interests determined everything.
But he also gave some benefits, hoping to calm Kong Zheng's mood.
The elders were a little surprised, because the academic dispute in Jixia Academy still had destiny.
But after Kong Zheng heard this, he left directly. He was not willing to stay here for a moment, and he didn't give any face. The other people also left, full of pride.
After this group of people left, Kong Xin and others couldn't help but frown, with a cold look in their eyes.
After all, Kong Zheng's behavior was too direct and showed no mercy at all.
Duke Chuan Sheng was very indifferent. After he left, he slowly spoke out and mentioned some other things, just like a court meeting.
Half an hour later.
Everyone left one after another.
In the end, only Kong Wuya, Kong Xin, and Chuan Shenggong were left in the Sage Pavilion.
People were gone.
The voice of Duke Chuan Sheng also sounded slowly.
"What should we do if Gu Jinnian refuses to hand over the sacred weapon?"
The Holy Preacher speaks.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Kong Xin's idea. The only problem is that Gu Jinnian refuses to hand over, which is a bit troublesome.
"Go back to the Holy Duke."
"It's simple."
"Send someone to Daxia Kyoto tomorrow to inform Gu Jinnian about the transaction. Gu Jinnian will definitely not agree to it."
"We don't need to be too drastic and invite him to the Kong family's family dinner."
"If Gu Jinnian doesn't want to come, then we can only take the most extreme method."
"If he comes, then we can wait for him here."
"At the critical moment, I still hope that the Holy Duke will use the holy weapon to suppress it. Even if Gu Jinnian doesn't want to hand it over, he still has to hand it over."
Kong Xin opened his mouth, he had already thought of a perfect plan.
But Chuan Shenggong couldn't help but frown.
"The price paid for using the sacred weapon is too high."
"But if he can come to the Kong family, he doesn't need to revive the sacred weapon. It's best if he comes to the Kong family."
The Holy Preacher speaks.
The cost of resurrecting the sacred weapon is very high, so it is not particularly cost-effective.
"Well, it depends on the specific situation at that time."
"However, Holy Duke, at the critical moment, no matter what the cost, the sacred artifact must be brought back. After all, it is a good thing for the Kong family, and it is also a good thing for scholars all over the world."
"Elder Wuya, what do you think?"
Kong Xin asked.
"Can."
Kong Wuya nodded, he completely agreed with this statement.
The Holy Sect's approach is to benefit and develop the Kong family. To put it bluntly, no matter how dirty or bad the methods are, as long as the Kong family can benefit, then everything will be fine.
In the adult world, there is no right or wrong, only interests.
It is precisely because of this that the Kong family has endured for a long time. Otherwise, how can it really make the world so obedient with just a few sentences?
"Let's take a look at the details."
Duke Chuan Sheng did not agree, but he indeed did not reject it either. We will see the specific situation.
In this way, the three of them slowly left.
And at the same time.
Bactrian Palace.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
"snort."
As Gu Jinnian walked into the hall, he was greeted by a cold snort.
In the main hall, Wei Xian and Liu Yan stood on the left and right sides. Emperor Yongsheng in front of Yu Yu looked at His Highness Gu Jinnian with a gloomy face.
"My nephew has met his uncle."
I heard the cold snort of Emperor Yongsheng.
Gu Jinnian immediately smiled and made a salute.
"You still know that I am your uncle?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke like he was interrogating a prisoner.
A little bit weird.
"Uncle, why are you saying such angry words?"
"Who made you angry? Tell your nephew, who is now writing poems to scold him."
Faced with Emperor Yongsheng's eccentric temperament, Gu Jinnian was not going to accept the lecture obediently and appear unfamiliar. It would be best to relax the atmosphere a little.
Of course it's better to act stupid.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng was speechless.
"You little bastard, you are really lawless."
"You asked me to give you an imperial edict, but I didn't expect you to be so bold and dare to mobilize troops privately. How many brains do you have?"
"Even if you want to die, you have to think about your father and your mother. I usually dote on you too much. Otherwise, how could you dare to do this?"
Emperor Yongsheng was really angry.
Gu Jinnian's behavior was indeed a bit audacious. Although his intention was good, he couldn't act so recklessly.
With it being like this, it almost didn't end.
"Uncle, it's not that my nephew insists on causing trouble, it's really the officials of Bailu Mansion who are too disgusting."
"And the nephew originally planned to investigate secretly. They were the ones who provoked the nephew in the first place."
Gu Jinnian spoke up, feeling a little helpless.
"This is the rule of the court."
"Don't I know about the whole thing? Did you not lead the way when you went?"
"Although Xu Ping did disgusting things, he followed the rules. You did things brightly, but you didn't follow the rules."
"do you know?"
Emperor Yongsheng specially summoned Gu Jinnian, just to give him a good beating.
Otherwise, would it really be okay?
"Understood."
"Next time I will lead the way out."
Gu Jinnian nodded.
"Jinnian, you must think about it carefully in the future. You must think twice before doing anything."
"You knew that the people in Bailu Mansion would target you, but you were still not cautious enough to make the matter such a big deal."
"If all the people hadn't petitioned for you in the end, you would have died today."
"You should go back and reflect on this matter carefully. Once you have reflected on it, write a 3,000-word review article and give it to me."
"Do you know?"
Emperor Yongsheng was not in a good mood.
But Gu Jinnian felt a little depressed when he heard this. A three thousand word review article? Is it necessary?
But there is nothing I can do if I think about it. After all, who made his uncle the emperor?
"Understood."
Gu Jinnian said a little depressed.
"Humph, looking at you like this, are you still not convinced?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke out.
"It's not that I'm not convinced."
"The main thing is that my nephew really didn't want to make things bigger. They forced me."
Gu Jinnian said slightly innocently.
But after saying this, Emperor Yongsheng remained speechless.
But there's nothing to refute. It's true that Xu Ping and the others had enough to eat and had nothing to do, so they insisted on disgusting Gu Jinnian.
"They have their mistakes, and you have yours. In short, don't do it again next time."
"If there is a next time, I can tell you very seriously, no one can protect you, even if your grandfather comes, it will be useless, do you understand?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke up and said very seriously.
"My nephew understands. Thank you uncle for not killing me."
Hearing that his old uncle was so serious, Gu Jinnian didn't dare to mess around and agreed honestly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jinnian continued to speak.
"Uncle, in this matter, no matter how you say it, I have made a meritorious service, right?"
"My nephew has a request, but I don't know whether to make it or not."
Gu Jinnian spoke up, there was something he still wanted to say.
But Emperor Yongsheng was silent.
Good guy, you have done so many things. If anyone else would have killed the Nine Tribes, you actually have the nerve to take credit. It’s amazing, my nephew.
"explain."
But Emperor Yongsheng didn't say anything, but was curious about what Gu Jinnian wanted.
"Uncle, give me an official position, otherwise I will have trouble doing things in the future."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and naturally asked for the official position.
"Official position?"
"You are about to be granted the title of Marquis. What official position do you want?"
Emperor Yongsheng also didn't expect that Gu Jinnian actually wanted an official position?
"What's the use of becoming a marquis?"
"Uncle, if you say the title is nice, others call me Marquis, but if you say it's ugly, I want power but no power. At most, I raise some private soldiers. What's the point?"
"It's better to be an official. Uncle, you won't be reluctant to let go, right?"
"I have shed blood for Daxia, and I have made contributions for Daxia. If you don't even give me an official position, uncle, then my poems are really a bit critical."
Gu Jinnian started joking directly.
The style of military commanders is the same. It's meat on a hob. I'm not afraid that you won't give it. At worst, it will be wasted. It depends on whether you think it is embarrassing or not.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng had a toothache.
Threaten the emperor?
I am really tired of living.
"What kind of official do you want to be?"
Emperor Yongsheng was a little temperamental. After all, he really wanted Gu Jinnian to compose a poem for him, so he had no choice but to compromise.
Of course, this is also Gu Jinnian. Anyone else would have been able to drink Meng Po soup.
“Not too demanding.”
"Uncle, is there any vacancy for the assistant minister?"
Gu Jinnian said a little shyly.
As soon as he said this, Emperor Yongsheng became numb.
"Servant?"
"Do you really dare to speak, a fourth-grade official? You ask for it?"
"In Daxia, even if you are the number one scholar in Jinke, you can only start as a sixth-rank Imperial Academy pen-writing official."
"You mean level 4 when you open your mouth?"
"Don't even think about it."
Emperor Yongsheng refused directly.
A fourth-grade official may not seem to have much power, but in fact his power is boundless. How could he be given so casually? Besides, there is no vacancy.
"There is no minister, so is there any vacancy in the minister's office?"
"Uncle, actually writing articles is not my nephew's greatest strength. Making money is my nephew's strength. I think the Minister of Revenue is getting old, so why not let him resign and go home? What do you think, uncle?"
Gu Jinniantian said shamelessly.
"What kind of official do you want?"
Emperor Yongsheng ignored Gu Jinnian and directly asked Gu Jinnian what he wanted.
He could tell that Gu Jinnian was setting the stage here.
"Supervisory censor."
Gu Jinnian stopped talking and directly expressed his thoughts.
Supervisory censor, a sixth-grade official, seems to be of low rank, but has great power.
In a sense, the power to supervise the censor is greater than that of the minister. Of course, there is a certain meaning.
"Something is wrong."
After hearing the answer, Emperor Yongsheng spoke slowly.
The position is not high, but there are some problems.
Gu Jinnian has not yet reached the imperial examination, so theoretically it is impossible for him to become an official.
It would be inappropriate to directly ask for the responsibility of censor.
"Uncle, is it inappropriate for a sixth-grade official?"
"Don't be so stingy."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
This trip to Bailu Mansion made Gu Jinnian understand something.
You must have an official position and have power at hand, so that you will not be restricted.
This power must be able to check and balance the other party.
The power of the censor is just right.
Go up to Heaven to listen to the imperial censor's memorial. Your Majesty must read it.
Of course, Gu Jinnian can do it without this official position, but the problem is that he is a snitch. If he becomes a censor, he is not a snitch.
But to conduct official business.
The two are completely different ways of treating each other.
"Uncle, do you still remember our previous plan?"
"Things about Dongchang."
"If you don't give me a position, I won't be able to work well."
Gu Jinnian continued to speak, taking out new chips, hoping that his uncle would agree.
The position of censor is very suitable for me. If anyone dares to disgust me in the future, I guarantee that he will be disgusted to death.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng was indeed silent for a while.
"In this way, I will create a separate position for you."
"If I give you the responsibility of supervising the censor, I'm afraid that the officials will not be able to pass it. You have just been punished, so it is not appropriate to ask for an official position here."
"Inspector Commander, what do you think?"
Emperor Yongsheng said.
"Inspector Commander?"
When Gu Jinnian heard this, he was a little excited, especially for a commander. This official position is not small.
"Uncle, what rights do you have?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"You only have the power of supervision. If you think something is inappropriate, you can directly meet with me. How about that?"
Emperor Yongsheng guessed what Gu Jinnian was thinking, so he established such a position.
"It's possible, but there's still one thing missing. Uncle, please give me more power, for example, direct access to the Sixth Department. The Sixth Department must fully cooperate with me and conduct quick investigations. I don't care how to investigate, but the Sixth Department must pay attention to it?"
Mere inspections are no deterrent.
Have real power.
"That's okay, but you can't mess around. Special matters must be discussed by the six ministers. After the discussion, I will be informed and I will make the final decision."
"The time before and after must not exceed three days, and we will definitely give you a result, how about it?"
Emperor Yongsheng said.
"OK."
Gu Jinnian agreed. The final interpretation power rests with His Majesty. This is not a big problem.
It doesn't matter whether the six ministers agree or not.
What Gu Jinnian wants is to be a deterrent. Otherwise, when he supervises others, he will be ignored and completely ignored. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
However, for some reason, Gu Jinnian felt that this process was a bit familiar.
cabinet?
Isn't this the cabinet?
Good guy, my power is equivalent to that of the chief minister of the cabinet.
Numb.
Although the authority is only for supervision, it is enough.
"good."
"I will draw up a decree."
"But we still have to wait two days."
"Okay, you better think about what I told you today. Go back and rest first."
"Your grandpa is going to war soon. Please stay with your grandpa these days."
"Jinnian, remember, my uncle can protect you, but he cannot protect you for your whole life, and neither does your grandfather."
"You must think twice before doing anything in the future, you know?"
Emperor Yongsheng explained seriously.
"Uncle, please rest assured that my nephew will think twice about doing this in the future."
Gu Jinnian nodded solemnly.
in this way.
Gu Jinnian retreated.
After Gu Jinnian left, Emperor Yongsheng couldn't help but let out a breath.
"This guy is really thick-skinned. He looks like the sixth son of the Gu family."
"If you don't learn good things all day long, you will learn bad things."
He muttered to himself.
Then he got a memorial, which was a secret report about the children in Bailu Mansion.
This matter is not over yet.
And two quarters of an hour later.
Zhen Guo Gongfu.
After a month, Gu Jinnian returned home again.
The first time I came back, I went to my mother's place.
When she learned that her son had returned, Mrs. Li burst into tears again and felt very distressed.
After chatting for a long time.
Gu Jinnian set off to find his grandfather.
To be honest, Gu Jinnian was still a little nervous when meeting his grandfather. After all, he was indeed impulsive in some aspects about this matter.
Wait until you get to the study room.
But I found that the old man had been waiting for a long time.
"My grandson has met grandpa."
Outside the study, Gu Jinnian shouted.
"Enter."
The old man spoke.
At that moment, Gu Jinnian opened the study door and saw the old man standing in front of the desk, looking at the calligraphy and paintings beside him.
The word "Manjianghong" is also clearly written on the calligraphy and painting.
"grandfather."
"My grandson made a mistake, please ask grandpa to punish him."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and took the initiative to admit his mistake.
However, the old man did not blame him.
Instead, he looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"you're not wrong."
"You did the right thing."
"I didn't embarrass the Gu family."
"Grandpa, I was an ordinary citizen back then. You are the third generation of the Gu family. You had no worries about food and clothing since you were young. You are a powerful person in Daxia. But you have an innocent heart and can speak out for the people. Grandpa is very pleased."
The old man spoke out. He did not blame Gu Jinnian, but supported Gu Jinnian.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinnian became slightly silent.
But then I thought about it, the old man was a poor man back then and knew the sufferings of the people. What he did was indeed a good thing in his eyes.
However, Gu Jinnian did not speak.
The old man came over and patted Gu Jinnian on the shoulder.
Then he spoke.
"However, this matter is not completely settled yet."
"Look at this secret report."
The old man handed a secret report to Gu Jinnian.
The latter took it, opened it and read it, his expression suddenly changed.
The secret report stated that cases of child theft occurred in the northern region, not just in Gangneung County.
Several other counties have this kind of thing, and there are quite a few of them, but not as many as Bailu Mansion.
"So many children have been stolen."
"Who is behind this? How dare you do such nonsense?"
Gu Jinnian put down the secret report, looking a little ugly.
Also extremely curious.
Who is behind this?
What is its purpose?
"There are the forces of the court, the forces of military generals, and the forces of the Kong family and the vassal kings in various places."
The old man spoke in a calm voice.
"so much?"
Gu Jinnian frowned.
This force is quite strong.
No, not some.
It’s very strong——
Brothers, I haven’t had any outbursts these days. I plan to take a break for two or three days, so I can write 10,000 words a day as normal.
First of all, it's a plot foreshadowing. Don't rush it. If you rush it, you won't be able to enjoy the climax when the time comes.
Secondly, my body needs a rest. The doubts about life that have erupted in the past few days, to be honest, my body cannot bear it.
Thirdly, if you want to keep books, please turn on automatic subscription. In July, I really beg all readers to turn on automatic subscription, so that at least the subscription will not drop too much, otherwise too much will drop in one go, which will affect
