Chapter 159 The imperial examination is imminent, the artifact of the Ministry of Industry, ruining
Chapter 159 The imperial examination is about to take place. The artifact of the Ministry of Industry is ruining my reputation. Grand Tutor [Please give me your monthly vote]
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Emperor Yongsheng looked at Gu Jinnian quietly.
For some reason, he seemed unable to see through the nephew in front of him.
Confucianism and Taoism are the saints of later generations.
It can also assemble some divine objects, such as the Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation.
It doesn’t matter if you have a clever plan.
I didn't expect that even my nephew was so skilled in politics.
Tweet the order of grace.
This strategy is infinitely derivative in his mind, and he can think of too many things.
I'm afraid that none of the civil and military officials in the dynasty could come up with such a plan.
Therefore, he was also curious about how Gu Jinnian came up with it.
I really don't know how to describe it.
However, Emperor Yongsheng did not intend to let Gu Jinnian continue to interfere in this matter.
When it comes to Prince Ning and Gu Jinnian's drowning, to be honest, it's them who should come forward.
"Jin Nian."
"Don't get involved in what's coming next. I've already issued an order. If nothing else happens, your grandfather will return to Beijing in two months."
"I have plans to join forces with your grandfather to deal with this matter. I know exactly how Prince Ning should deal with it. You must not get involved again."
"You don't know many things, so whether to kill or punish, and how to punish them, I have a certain limit. Li Lengqiu and Li Lengxin have been killed by you, and the anger in your heart should also subside."
"Jixia Academy is ahead. You should calm down and study hard. During this period, you have done too many things. Although your intentions are good, you do have anger. You can't feel it yourself.
But I saw it.”
Emperor Yongsheng spoke.
He reminded Gu Jinnian of something.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian fell silent for a moment.
Thinking about it carefully, what the old uncle said was absolutely right. During this period, which lasted only half a year, he had done too many things and killed too many people.
Although I am seeking justice for the people, I have to say it.
The anger is getting worse.
So much so that now, no matter what happens to me, I will kill him immediately.
Thinking back, what the eminent monk Luo Ze said was not wrong.
Wouldn't it be better if I didn't kill Li Lengxin at that time, but used some methods to control Li Lengxin and protect the people at the same time, and then take advantage of it?
Gu Jinnian thought about this question.
The answer is there, that is, there are more ways to deal with Li Lengxin and protect those people.
However, he was disturbed by the hostility in his heart, which caused him to act too harshly.
This is not a good thing.
"Jin Nian."
"Uncle used to be like you, always thinking that killing the enemy would solve the problem."
"But later, my uncle discovered that you can't kill all your enemies. Killing can only shut up your enemies temporarily. Only by being strong can you shut up your enemies forever."
"It is difficult to build morality, and 120,000 people died, but the remnants of building morality are still there, like wildfire, which cannot be extinguished."
"Sometimes my uncle couldn't help but think, if my uncle had not killed those people back then, but had let them take a look at the country of Great Xia, would they have recognized him?"
Emperor Yongsheng was a little sad.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes as he looked at the corner of the sky.
"probably not."
"Uncle, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep."
"People only want to see what they want to see."
"Because only in that way can the weak be satisfied."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and he gave the most direct answer.
There was no mistake in killing the remnants of Jiande.
If the old ministers of the previous dynasty were not killed, the Great Xia Dynasty would definitely not settle down.
No matter what his old uncle did, it was just a show to the remnants of Jiande.
This is just like the Pan Jinlian incident.
In the official history, Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian were both talented and beautiful, especially Wu Dalang, who was burly and a county magistrate. However, because he failed to entertain a friend well, his friend made up a story about them.
The result has become an eternal curse.
Wu Dalang has become a shame for men, and Pan Jinlian has become an endorsement.
In fact, if you analyze this kind of rumor rationally, you will know that there are many flaws. But the problem is that people only want to hear what they want to hear.
When an ugly man is paired with a beautiful woman, the first reaction is that the man is rich, and the second reaction is that the woman will cheat.
This is the root of human nature and there is no need to argue.
It all comes from jealousy and hatred. After all, ask yourself, are you willing to accept someone you know but not closely related to you to make a lot of money in business, or are you willing to accept him to lose everything in business?
Of course, more people still have a sense of conscience and hope that the other party will lose all their property, but not lose their bottom line, leave some money left over, and live a poor life like themselves.
Listening to Gu Jinnian's voice.
Emperor Yongsheng nodded, agreeing with Gu Jinnian's words.
However, Emperor Yongsheng changed his style and looked at Gu Jinnian.
"Jinnian, don't worry about the matter of extending the grace order. I will take care of it."
"Let me tell you a few things."
Emperor Yongsheng didn't want to talk about these things. After all, he wanted Gu Jinnian to rest for a while, be quiet and calm down, so as not to be too violent and affect himself and go astray.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Gu Jinnian nodded and agreed. Anyway, he said that he would let his uncle do the specific operation of the favor order.
To be honest, we have given all the methods. As the king of a country, Emperor Yongsheng would not be able to do this or that.
I'm sorry, in this world, beggars can sit, traitors can sit, and domestic slaves can sit, so why can't it be the turn of relatives to sit?
"Three things."
"First, the matter of ennobling a marquis is the Shangyuan Festival. The day after tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival. Come to the palace early tomorrow morning. The process is complicated. Don't be verbose and follow the rules."
This is the first thing, Gu Jinnian was granted the title of Marquis the day after tomorrow.
"Okay, uncle."
Gu Jinnian nodded. The matter of being granted the title of Marquis should be taken seriously. After all, the title of Marquis was also granted on the day of the title, and the ancients still attached great importance to it.
After he gets his crown, he is no longer a child. No matter what he does in the future, he can no longer say that he is still just a child.
"The second thing is that the imperial examination is coming soon. You will be the one to write this year's test questions and be the chief examiner."
"Do you have any ideas about this?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke out, but this second matter was no small matter.
"Uncle."
"You asked me to come up with a question? Isn't this child's play?"
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. The imperial examination questions were asked. He was asked to do such a big thing?
To be honest, this is no small matter. It determines the rise and fall of a dynasty.
To put it mildly, it will affect the results of ten years of hard study of students and the pattern of the court in the next thirty years of the Xia Dynasty.
Speaking more broadly, missing out on a great talent can affect the fate of a dynasty.
"You are now a Confucian and Taoist saint for future generations."
"You are fully qualified to ask questions. Besides, as a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, what can you do if you ask questions?"
"How dare scholars in this world say what you are not?"
Emperor Yongsheng thought it was no big deal, so it was just right for Gu Jinnian to come up with the question.
"I'd better have a good discussion with Mr. Yang. You can't overstep your authority just because of your status."
When Gu Jinnian spoke, he understood what his uncle meant, and he just wanted to help him establish his dignity.
"Yang Kai is resigning."
However, what Emperor Yongsheng said next made Gu Jinnian a little surprised.
"Master Yang, do you want to resign?"
The dignified Minister of Rites is resigning, which is no small matter.
You must know that those who can serve as officials in the court, no matter what rank they are, have huge power behind them, and they are all outstanding among outstanding people.
The position of Minister of Rites is not a shabby position. If he retires, who will take over?
"He is getting older, and it is time for him to resign."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke calmly.
This sentence has different meanings.
All in all, Yang Kai is sixty-two years old this year. According to the rules of the Daxia court, he can retire and return to his hometown at the age of sixty.
Unless the person is outstandingly capable or the emperor does not want the other person to take a back seat, he will have to consider taking a back seat when he reaches the age of fifty-eight.
It is actually a good thing to be able to retire safely. Throughout the ages, officials with higher positions often do not end up particularly well.
Sometimes it's not a question of incompetence, but a lot of trouble after all.
Able to resign without incident.
This is a good thing.
"Then who will come? Uncle, it would be somewhat difficult for me to be a minister at my age."
"However, since the old uncle believes in the nephew, the nephew has gritted his teeth,"
Gu Jinnian asked curiously, and by the way, he was ready to become a minister.
"Forget it. If you become a minister at your age, everyone in the world will say that I favor you."
"The seventeen-year-old Marquis has already caused a lot of controversy. Seventeen-year-old Shangshu Jinnian, you are really addicted to officialdom."
Emperor Yongsheng was a little angry.
I really didn’t expect that Gu Jinnian would be so thick-skinned that he became the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Daxia at the age of seventeen?
This is one of the six.
It's not that he couldn't bear to part with her, the main reason was that Gu Jinnian was too young. If he were thirty, or even twenty-five, he would have made arrangements.
At the age of seventeen, being the Minister of Rites is indeed a bit too much.
"Old uncle, you don't want to avoid suspicion when you marry. You can't suppress me just because I am your nephew. Besides, being a mere minister of the Ministry of Rites is nothing. With my ability, I am more than enough to be a prime minister."
Gu Jinnian said seriously.
"okay."
"I understand your talent, but it's not the time yet. After the imperial examination is over, I will transfer you to other departments."
"The Ministry of Rites has nothing to do. The peace negotiation can be considered a huge achievement. I will help you arrange it."
Emperor Yongsheng ignored Gu Jinnian and told him the next arrangement.
The purpose of arranging for Gu Jinnian to go to the Ministry of Rites was to help Gu Jinnian gain some political achievements and pave the way for Gu Jinnian.
Originally, according to his intention, Gu Jinnian could stay in the Etiquette Department for a year, and then he could be mentioned as a Yuanwailang, and then start arranging to go to the next department to get some qualifications.
I just didn't expect that Gu Jinnian handled the peace negotiation so well that he had already thought about skipping a grade and working in other departments. After all, after the imperial examination, the Ministry of Rites had nothing else to do.
"Okay, uncle, you can just arrange it."
Gu Jinnian seemed casual, this was not what Emperor Yongsheng meant.
What could he say?
"The third thing is that the Ministry of Industry has built dragon boats, treasure ships and Daxia chariots. You just need to go to the Minister of Industry to meet with him and engrave the ancient spirit gathering formation on it to see the specific effect."
"This matter is very important. I have been waiting for your good news."
Emperor Yongsheng seemed very excited. This was the third thing and the thing he was most concerned about at the moment.
The ancient spirit gathering formation can automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without the cost of spiritual crystals, speeding up dragon boats, treasure ships, and chariots.
These three things represent transportation and are beneficial to the Xia Dynasty.
"Okay, uncle, don't worry, I will definitely bring you good news."
"Uncle, do you have anything else to do? If you have nothing to do, I have something to do."
Gu Jinnian nodded. He knew this matter well and would sort it out later.
"do not have much left."
"you say."
Emperor Yongsheng shook his head, and then looked at Gu Jinnian curiously, wondering what Gu Jinnian was up to.
"Uncle, my nephew, this city that never sleeps in the summer, is about to start construction, and the Ministry of Works is sending manpower over. This is very important."
Gu Jinnian told his story.
The plan for the Everlasting City in Daxia has been on hold for several months, and now we must start construction quickly. According to the construction speed of the Ministry of Works, to be honest, it will take at least two or three months to complete the preliminary project.
The water conservancy project alone will take at least a month.
Gu Jinnian also calculated that the entire project would take about two to three years.
Three years, Gu Jinnian couldn't afford to wait, so it was wise to get started quickly.
At the very least, we should build Daxia Department Store first.
"Okay, how many people do you want to send over?"
Emperor Yongsheng nodded and asked Gu Jinnian.
"At least 50,000 people, we need to speed up."
Gu Jinnian thought for a while and came up with this number.
According to normal calculations, it would take three years to recruit 10,000 people, and it would take ten months to recruit 50,000 people.
But upon hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng was dumbfounded.
"Fifty thousand people? That's about the same number of people in the entire Ministry of Industry. What do you want with so many people?"
"Can you afford to make these two hundred thousand taels of gold?"
Emperor Yongsheng was a little stunned. Fifty thousand people could almost drain the entire Ministry of Works. To be honest, it was too much.
"Old uncle, what you are saying is unkind. The Huns negotiated a peace and paid compensation of 50,000 taels of silver. I earned this silver. If nothing else, it is not difficult to give some of it to me for projects.
?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinnian was a little unhappy.
Do you want to keep the Xiongnu’s compensation money for yourself?
However, when the indemnity silver was mentioned, Emperor Yongsheng's eyes dodge a little.
"Uncle."
"You won't waste your money, right?"
"This is my hard-earned money, you even swallow this?"
Looking back at Jinnian's expression, his expression changed. He planned to use these fifty million taels of silver to build the city that never sleeps in Daxia. If it was swallowed up, he would definitely make a fuss.
"Jin Nian."
"You heard my uncle say, well, you know about the Yongsheng Ceremony, right? My uncle paid out the outstanding salary. To be honest, you don't want people outside to say that your uncle owes you money, right?"
Emperor Yongsheng was a little embarrassed.
The 50,000 taels of compensation had indeed arrived in Kyoto a long time ago, but this money was also divided among everyone.
So there is not much silver left.
"Uncle, don't treat me like a child. How much money can be spent on the Yongsheng Ceremony?"
"I still have an idea of how much money the Yongsheng ceremony will cost. Where is the rest?"
Gu Jinnian can understand the Yongsheng Ceremony. After all, isn't his old uncle's biggest dream to produce this most amazing book of all time to prove his achievements?
But if we talk about annexing 50 million taels of silver, this is absolutely impossible.
I can't afford that much money.
"The Yongsheng Ceremony, including the previous arrears of silver, cost 10 million and 50 million taels of silver, leaving 30 million and 50 million taels of silver, of which 20 million taels were taken away by the officials. Jinnian,
It’s not like you don’t know that the imperial government has kept officials’ salaries too low in recent years.”
"Now that something like this has happened, the whole country is celebrating, and it's time for officials' salaries to be relaxed."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke out.
"Uncle, are you going to give these corrupt officials the money I earned by working so hard?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinnian felt numb.
Although he also knew that the salaries of officials in the Great Xia Dynasty were extremely low, he still kept the money for use.
What a loser!
"Jinnian, that's what you said."
"What do you mean by corrupt officials? They are all good officials in Daxia. You can't be biased just because someone took your money."
"No, what is your money? This is the court's money. What does it have to do with you?"
Emperor Yongsheng was a little embarrassed at first, but suddenly, Emperor Yongsheng thought of it.
Although this money was earned by Gu Jinnian, in the final analysis, this money still belonged to the Daxia Dynasty and was the imperial court's money.
When will it become your money, Gu Jinnian?
"Uncle, are you doing this trick?"
There is nothing wrong with what Emperor Yongsheng said, but he is also a minister of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he is doing everything for the good of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Why isn't it my own money?
"Oh, Jinnian, why are you doing this? I'll call it for you, okay?"
"Ah really."
Emperor Yongsheng was indeed a little embarrassed. He did not consider Gu Jinnian for the fifty million taels of silver.
So I can only take a careless look.
"Where is the remaining ten million taels of silver?"
Gu Jinnian continued to ask.
"There are 10 million taels of silver left. Use it as an appropriation. There are still 50 million taels of silver to repair and repair the palace, including some main halls. It's not like you don't know that your old uncle has never repaired the palace since he came to the throne.
Now I finally have some money."
"Renovating the palace is also a reasonable thing, right?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke softer and quieter. He always spoke politely before, but now it is completely selfish.
"Uncle."
"I finally understand why the treasury is so empty. It's because you are using money here randomly."
"No wonder the national treasury is empty. What can I say? It seems smart, but it turns out to be useless."
Gu Jinnian was a little depressed.
That's not to say that you can't spend money, but it also depends on the situation. Emergency times are treated very seriously. There is nothing wrong with the fifty million taels of silver, so it was spent indiscriminately.
"Jinnian, you are so boring. If you don't take a look for yourself, you will see what is going on in the palace and your palace, including these and other things. You don't need to spend money on that place. You don't know if you are not a householder."
"It took thirteen years to repair the palace. Haven't I done enough?"
Emperor Yongsheng could not help but make excuses for himself.
However, it is also reasonable. The external trouble was solved and a compensation of 50 million taels of silver was received, which just solved some internal pressure.
The salary issue for officials in the Ministry of Personnel is indeed very troublesome. If Daxia had not declared war, the officials would have started to riot. Now, if we provide 20 million taels of silver as a subsidy, it will ease the situation for at least three or four years.
As for the Yongsheng Ceremony, it is something meaningful, at least for the country.
Only the renovation of the palace is a bit excessive.
But the palace is indeed old. The Daxia Dynasty is now prosperous and the country is prosperous, so it can still be repaired.
acceptable.
But Gu Jinnian couldn't accept using his own money to repair the palace.
"Forget it, anyway, the matter of Daxia Evernight City is the top priority."
"Uncle, you can't cheat me anymore on this matter."
Gu Jinnian didn't want to be verbose. Anyway, as long as the work could start, everything else didn't matter.
"What are you talking about? When have I ever tricked you?"
"Jin Nian, am I too doting on you, are you being too presumptuous?"
Emperor Yongsheng was a little angry.
"Okay, uncle, my nephew is leaving first."
"If you need anything, just come to the academy and see me."
Gu Jinnian didn't want to say anything and left the Yangxin Hall directly.
"good."
"Enter the palace early tomorrow. There are many things to do during the canonization ceremony. Don't delay it then."
Emperor Yongsheng had nothing to say about Gu Jinnian, so what could he say about his nephew?
"By the way, there is one more thing."
The next moment, Emperor Yongsheng grabbed Gu Jinnian. He still had something to ask Gu Jinnian.
"Uncle, what's the matter?"
Gu Jinnian was a little confused.
"On the day of the Lantern Festival, when you will be enthroned as a marquis, I tried to persuade you to come up with some poems to add to the fun, but I can't think of any. You can think of a poem for me and save it for the day of the canonization."
"Don't be nagging, this is an important task."
Emperor Yongsheng said aloud that he valued this matter very much and Gu Jinnian had to deal with it.
"OK."
"My nephew, let me finish the song for you now, don't wait a few days."
Gu Jinnian seemed casual, didn't he just want to show off? Okay, since you are my uncle, you can fix it now.
"Now?"
"good."
"I'll bring you a pen and ink."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng became excited, but just as he was about to get the pen, he stopped immediately.
He looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"Don't write it out, just read it out. Write it down and you'll get a vision later."
"Just read it out."
"Never say you wrote it later."
Emperor Yongsheng was a little embarrassed.
It would be boring if the world knew that I did not write this poem.
"OK."
"Uncle, please remember this."
Gu Jinnian seemed indifferent. In fact, he had prepared a poem for his uncle before, and it was just in use now.
"You said it, uncle will remember it."
Emperor Yongsheng nodded.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying."
"Weijiahai is returning to his hometown."
"There are strong men guarding the four sides."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and informed Emperor Yongsheng of this gale song.
When the latter heard this, he couldn't help but look fascinated.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying."
"Weijiahai is returning to his hometown."
"There are strong men guarding the four sides."
"You are really domineering. What else is there? Where is the rest?"
Emperor Yongsheng said expectantly.
"No more."
"Just these three sentences."
Gu Jinnian replied.
"Just three sentences? No more additions?"
Emperor Yongsheng felt something was wrong.
"Uncle, think about it. You have been studying for several years. If I write a long poem for you, can these people believe it?"
"These three sentences are neither more nor less, but they still have some background. The main reason is that they are like you. You don't seek the best, just the most suitable."
"Right?"
When Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, it was not that he was reluctant to give other poems to his old uncle. The most important thing was that in case someone revealed that this was his own poem.
Wouldn’t that be social death?
Emperor Daxia died?
This scene, just thinking about it, makes you realize how embarrassing it is.
"Yeah."
"You are still smart in your golden age."
Emperor Yongsheng also thought it was very reasonable.
soon.
After watching Gu Jinnian leave, Emperor Yongsheng hurriedly came to the jade case and opened a booklet. This was the upgrade path he had planned for Gu Jinnian.
"We can't let this guy go to the Ministry of Finance. If this guy goes to the Ministry of Finance, it will be difficult to spend money in the future."
"Although He Yan is a stingy guy, at least I have spoken. He Yan will still listen to me. If Jinnian is allowed to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he probably won't even give me a tael of silver."
Emperor Yongsheng murmured to himself.
After saying this, Emperor Yongsheng's eyes changed.
"Come, tell Gu Qianzhou and Gu Ningya to enter the palace."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke out.
About half an hour later.
Two figures appeared outside the Yangxin Hall, accompanied by some sounds.
"Brother, I'm not telling you. If it weren't for Jinnian, you, the Marquis, would be of no use at all. Why don't you let me be the Marquis?"
Gu Ningya's voice sounded, and the two brothers didn't know what kind of dispute had occurred and were scolding each other.
"You are asked to come? Do you deserve it? You are just a commander. There is the East Factory and the Inspectorate. Your hanging lamp department has no power anymore. If you dare to do it again, just say it. After you leave the palace, believe it or not, I will beat you.
?”
Gu Qianzhou's voice also sounded.
However, after the two of them entered the palace.
The expressions of the two people also became serious, and they bowed to Emperor Yongsheng.
"My lord, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long live."
Facing the emperor, the two of them were still very serious and did not dare to make any mess.
Just, inside the Yangxin Palace.
Emperor Yongsheng looked at the two men and said to be honest, Gu Qianzhou could say that although he had done nothing wrong, he did not do anything right as a marquis and was doing nothing.
As for this Gu Ningya, he is pure trash.
Oh, no, it’s a piece of trash.
Emperor Yongsheng's eyes were a little strange, and Gu Qianzhou and Gu Ningya felt a little angry at the sight, but they did not dare to say anything and could only laugh.
"Two losers."
Half an hour passed.
Emperor Yongsheng's voice sounded, with some sarcasm.
At that moment, the two of them were silent.
Gu Qianzhou is okay, just scold him.
But Gu Ningya couldn't help but speak out.
"Your Majesty, I haven't caused any trouble recently. If you are unhappy, I will find some people for you and you can scold me as you like."
Gu Ningya was a little unconvinced.
Why don't you come over and say something like trash? You don't want to be such a bully.
"Is it wrong to scold you two?"
"Have you found out the cause of Jinnian's drowning?"
Emperor Yongsheng was not angry enough to speak out.
As soon as these words were said, the two of them fell silent. Even Gu Ningya couldn't respond because he really didn't find out the reason.
"Your Majesty, have you found out?"
But after a while, Gu Qianzhou suddenly understood what Emperor Yongsheng meant and couldn't help but ask.
"nature."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke calmly.
Then he looked at the two of them and said.
"It was Wu An, the son of Marquis Sheyang, who did it. How exactly he did it? Gu Ningya, please investigate thoroughly for me."
"In the northwest, there were soldiers who killed people and turned into bandits. They were discovered. In order to cover up their crimes, they pointed the finger at Jinnian, hoping to trigger civil strife in Daxia through Jinnian's death."
"I have some evidence, but not much. Marquis Linyang, please investigate this matter thoroughly for me. I will give you all the power. Within two months, I want you to collect a piece of information and come up with any information about anyone involved in this matter."
, all must be registered.”
"Some of them will be captured by me and taken back to Kyoto, where they will be executed in Ling Chi. The other part will be dealt with by your Gu family secretly, but let me do things beautifully."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke out.
Let the two of you solve this matter.
Gu Jinnian's drowning incident can be considered completely over. Just know its purpose. The court will deal with the next matter.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
When the two heard this, they nodded immediately.
"One more thing, if you find someone in the court, just report it secretly and don't make it public."
Emperor Yongsheng reminded me.
He would handle the internal affairs of the court, and handle the external affairs on a special basis.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
The two agreed immediately.
"Okay, get out."
Now that the matter has been told, there is nothing more to say.
But when the two were about to get up and leave, Emperor Yongsheng's voice suddenly sounded.
"Wait."
"I wrote a poem. You two can take a look at it and point out some shortcomings."
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and said this.
When these words were said, the two of them were slightly surprised.
Good guy, Emperor Yongsheng wrote poetry?
Isn't this a joke?
Emperor Yongsheng had studied for a few years, but only for a few years. He had a reasonable understanding of politics, but Emperor Yongsheng was definitely not good at some poems and articles.
Why are you so good at composing poetry?
The two were curious, but didn't say anything and waited here.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying."
"Weijiahai is returning to his hometown."
"There are strong men guarding the four sides."
"how?"
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and read out the poem written for him by Gu Jinnian.
As soon as this statement came out.
Gu Qianzhou couldn't help but frown, and then showed a look of shock.
"Your Majesty, this poem is okay."
Gu Qianzhou couldn't help but exaggerate. After all, he had studied for several years, and at least other than Gu Jinnian, he was ranked high in the Gu family.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to become a marquis.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Gu Qianzhou has been reading for a few years and has some appreciation ability."
"It will still be of some use in the future."
Emperor Yongsheng was very satisfied.
"Your Majesty, this poem is okay, but I feel like it's missing a bit? Would you like me to add a few lines for you?"
Gu Ningya spoke up. He sounded okay, but it felt like it was too little. He should add a few more words.
Just say this.
Emperor Yongsheng couldn't help but show contempt in his eyes.
A few more sentences?
Are you worthy?
Putting aside the fact that this was written by Gu Jinnian, even if it was not written by Gu Jinnian but written by yourself, would you still be worthy of adding a few sentences?
Made, did I give you face?
"Okay, go back."
"Marquis Linyang, some reports have been handed over recently to impeach the Zhen Fu Secretary and the Xuan Deng Secretary. The Zhen Fu Secretary I have sent people to investigate."
"By the way, you should investigate the Xuandeng Department to see if there are any violations in the Xuandeng Department's work. Let me investigate carefully. If I find that you have even the slightest cover, I will not be lenient."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke calmly.
It's obvious that he wears small shoes.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will investigate thoroughly. If any violation of regulations is found, I will kill my relatives with justice."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianzhou felt energetic.
Since Gu Ningya became the commander, not to mention how arrogant he is, he is not only arrogant, but also troublesome for himself. This time he has power.
He must make Gu Ningya suffer a little.
"Your Majesty, this poem is well written and wonderful. Your Majesty, you cannot be like this."
Gu Ningya complained endlessly.
But before he could say anything, he was forcibly dragged away.
Wait until these two people leave.
Emperor Yongsheng continued to appreciate his poem.
Looking back, I even thought about throwing this poem into the main hall tomorrow. If anyone dares to find fault, there will be a problem. It is just jealous of myself.
Decide what is true and what is false.
And at the same time.
Inside the Prince's Mansion.
Before Gu Jinnian could even walk out of the palace, he was dragged here by people from the Prince's Mansion.
The prince is looking for him.
"Good brother."
"I am here to wish you the title of Marquis in advance. There is really no seventeen-year-old Marquis in Great Xia. There has never been such a person in the entire Eastern Wasteland."
"My dear brother, you are truly the best in Great Xia."
The prince spoke with a smile on his face.
Gu Jinnian was a little confused.
The prince looks like this, he is either a traitor or a thief.
"Brother Prince, if you have any questions, just say it directly and don't play this trick."
Gu Jinnian was a little at a loss and looked at the other person curiously.
"It's no big deal."
"It's our previous business. When will we start construction?"
The prince spoke out, asked someone to serve tea, and looked at Gu Jinnian with a smile on his face.
"Oh, I told His Majesty about this. If nothing else happens, construction will start directly after the Lantern Festival."
Gu Jinnian understood immediately.
I bet the prince is in a hurry.
"It would be nice to start construction after the Lantern Festival."
The prince was a little happy when he heard the news, but it was not because of this that he called Gu Jinnian over.
It's something else.
"Brother, there is one more thing."
"Li Ji is getting older and it's time to find a teacher. I think, how about letting you do it directly?"
"Brother has already mentioned this matter to His Majesty, and His Majesty has agreed. It depends on what Brother Xian wants."
The prince spoke up.
Mention the most critical things.
That's what it means to be a grandson.
This is no small matter.
Although it is a bit exaggerated to describe the grandson as the future prince, it is not bad, as long as the prince ascends the throne in the future.
Li Ji will be the emperor of Daxia in the future.
Moreover, Li Ji is still young. To be honest, he will definitely stay in office for a long time.
The Kong family had always wanted to send someone to be Li Ji's teacher, but the prince politely refused.
Now that the prince took the initiative to speak, he had several meanings.
Taisun Taifu.
It contains too much politics. Whoever can become the Taisun Taifu will have an infinitely bright future.
But similarly, this huge benefit must be exchanged for corresponding benefits.
If Gu Jinnian can be allowed to be the grandson's tutor, it means that the Gu family is completely tied to the prince. Otherwise, if the prince cannot become the emperor, you, the grandson's tutor, will be of no use at all.
So, this is a political exchange.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian became a little silent.
How could he not understand this?
The old man also mentioned this matter at the beginning.
The position of the crown prince seems far away. Emperor Yongsheng is still young, but in fact, the dynasty will change in the blink of an eye.
The Gu family can remain silent.
It's okay before the situation becomes clear, but after the situation becomes clear, the Gu family can't do nothing.
"Brother Prince."
"Let me think about this matter. After all, Yudi is still young and has not studied much. It is still a bit heavy to hold this position."
Gu Jinnian declined politely.
I still don’t want to get involved at first.
However, he knew very well that the more prosperous the age, the more stable the position of the prince would be.
There are so many things involved in this.
Gu Jinnian didn't want to make a choice easily.
"Okay, how about this? After my brother is ennobled, I will ask Ji'er to follow you. Let's learn first and then you can give your answer to me after a while. How about that?"
Prince Li Gao also understood Gu Jinnian's scruples, so he didn't force it, but mentioned it like this.
It can be regarded as cooperation in advance.
"kindness."
Gu Jinnian nodded and agreed. It was the same before, but now it was mixed with politics.
"By the way, where is Li Ji?"
After agreeing, Gu Jinnian was a little curious. He hadn't seen this unlucky child for a long time.
"Oh, I was just beaten up by the Crown Princess on the tree in the yard."
Li Gao said casually.
"Been beaten? What happened?"
Gu Jinnian was a little curious.
"He went to a brothel without telling everyone in the house."
Li Gao said loudly, looking very casual.
"Going to a brothel?"
"Brother Prince, although Ji'er is acting silly, he's old enough to actually go on a blind date with him. After all, he's sixteen years old. In a year or two, he will definitely start a family."
"There is no need to punish him too harshly."
Gu Jinnian didn't think anything about Li Ji going to a brothel, and it wasn't the first time he knew about it.
I knew it before.
"Going to a brothel is nothing. It's just that he used your name to go to the brothel, was discovered, and made trouble at the Prince's Mansion."
Li Gao said calmly.
It’s time to look back on the new year.
Good guy.
Use your own name to visit brothels?
Isn't this a good time to take a beating?
"Brother, why don't you give me a severe beating?"
Gu Jinnian stood up and said, looking a little angry.
"Already smoked."
"Don't worry, the Crown Princess will be more ruthless than you."
Li Gao stood up and comforted Gu Jinnian.
"This kid is so good that he doesn't want to learn anything. He just wants to learn something like this. How did he get discovered?"
Gu Jinnian was a little angry.
"That's stupid."
"Go to a brothel and give money to other girls. Nowadays, no one in Kyoto knows that you never spend any money visiting a brothel."
"He gave people money, was suspected, and then was reported."
Li Gao answered loudly.
"Hua Yinzi was reported?"
"Wait a minute? Who said I don't get paid when I go to a brothel?"
"Also, I didn't go to a brothel."
Gu Jinnian felt a little numb.
Except for the first visit to a brothel with Wu An and his gang, I have never been there again.
Who is spreading rumors?
"ha?"
"Everyone in Kyoto knows that you like visiting brothels, and you don't have to spend money every time you go there."
"You don't know about this?"
This time it was the prince's turn to be curious.
"Someone is impersonating me?"
Gu Jinnian stood up again, his face looking ugly.
Isn’t this destroying one’s innocence?
"I guess so."
"I'll have someone check this matter. It's very likely that it's someone close to you."
"Think about it, is there anyone around you who has a good relationship with you and has the ability to disguise himself?"
"And there's not much money left."
The prince spoke out and continued to calm Gu Jinnian's emotions.
Good Relationship.
There are means of disguise.
Don’t have any money yet?
In an instant, a familiar figure appeared in my mind.
"Made, Su Huaiyu!"
Gu Jinnian immediately guessed who it was.
"Brother Prince, Brother Yu has other things to do, so we need to take the first step."
"When the title of Marquis is over, let Ji'er follow me."
Gu Jinnian got up, not to find Su Huaiyu, but to go to the Ministry of Works to find Wang Qixin to handle the matter.
This matter is quite important.
"OK."
"Brother Jinnian, if anything happens, just come to the house and find me."
