Zhong Shize, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, is the head of the Ministry of Officials, and the promotion of officials below the fourth rank is under his jurisdiction.

Gu Chengyu has been promoted from today's Hanlin Academy, starting from the revision of the six products, and every step of promotion has never been decided by their officials, but by the emperor. This shows how beautiful Gu Chengyu is and how smooth the road to promotion is.

Gu Chengyu has set a precedent and become a special existence in the court. But if the promotion system in the court is like Gu Chengyu, wouldn't it be chaotic? What is this law for? Is there any use left?

Because of Gu Chengyu, their officials have repeatedly suppressed those low-level officials who have suffered from pink eye, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of many officials.

Now that the emperor has died, they think that the system that is finally going to return to the right track will be broken on Gu Chengyu again?

Xia Guan also felt that Zhong Shangshu was reasonable, and Gu Shaoqing, as an official of the imperial court, took it for granted that he would serve the imperial court. He can't do an errand for the imperial court, just upgrade him once, right? This is really unfair to other officials in the DPRK and China. ”

Gu Chengyu's promotion is fast enough, a civil official is faster than the promotion of a military attaché, it can really be said that there is no one before or after.

Shen Shikang naturally raised objections first, Gu Chengyu's rise was too rapid, and it was definitely not a good thing for the Beijing family.

Many officials felt that Gu Chengyu's promotion was too fast, and if it continued like this, wouldn't they have to give way to Gu Chengyu? As a result, there was a great sense of crisis.

King Jing carefully observed the prince's face, and saw that the prince did not object to it, and seemed to be seriously considering his proposal, and he was relieved.

"Second brother! Gu Shaoqing is a virtuous minister, and now that the eldest brother is rebelling, if he waits for an opportunity to win over Gu Shaoqing, it will be a loss for our court. If you upgrade it to a higher grade and hand over the matter of finding King Gong's whereabouts to Gu Shaoqing, wouldn't it just be able to prevent such a situation from happening? ”

King Jing knew that the crown prince was moved, but it was just because of the law of the country and some pressure!

"The prince's words are wrong, it's still the same sentence, even if Gu Shaoqing is not promoted, Gu Shaoqing has to work hard for the court, this is his duty!"

Shen Shikang's gaze at King Jing was very unkind, this person was so fond of the prince, could it be that he had formed an alliance with Gu Chengyu?

King Jing smiled slightly, "If you want the horses to run, you have to give the horses grass, Lord Shen won't even understand this truth, right?" Anyway, this king thinks that Gu Shaoqing's ability is extraordinary, and giving him a grade promotion is far less than his contribution to the court. ”

"Second brother! If you also agree with Lord Shen's words, then why don't you choose another courtier in the court to investigate this matter! According to the emperor's brother, Lord Shen is very suitable, right? ”

King Jing had a little sneer on his face, and then put on a posture that he had nothing to do with himself and hung high.

"Ridiculous! Xia Guan is a household secretary, and he is not proficient in investigating cases, which is the responsibility of Dali Temple and the Inspectorate. When the prince said this, he was suspected of using strong words. ”

Shen Shikang was scolded back by King Jing, and he was naturally dissatisfied in his heart. Now that the emperor has died, King Jing has no support. Not only that, but there is also the suspicion of standing on the opposite side of the prince, where will he be polite?

"Then Gu Shaoqing was born to be an official of Dali Temple? Wasn't he also transferred from the Hanlin Academy? Didn't Lord Shen still stay in the Inspectorate before? ”

"That's it! These are extraordinary times, and you all converge a little bit. Always quarreling over these senseless things, it's better to use your brain and think about how to rescue the queen mother. ”

The prince is in a very bad mood at the moment, but these people are still very blind, where can he still suppress the anger in his heart?

He took a deep breath and glanced at King Jing suspiciously, "Fourth, when did you talk so much?" I didn't find out about this palace before, you appreciate Gu Shaoqing so much? ”

King Jing raised his eyebrows, "It's just a matter of facts!" It's not that I'm blind, I still agree with Gu Shaoqing's talent. ”

As soon as these words came out, most of the officials in the palace darkened their faces.

"Second brother! I was stabbed before, and my body was still a little unwell, so I retreated! ”

The crown prince nodded, "It's okay!" Didn't the Imperial Doctor say you need to recuperate more? Your body is weak, and it will take a long time to replenish your vitality. ”

The prince bit the words weak bones very hard, although the imperial doctor said that King Jing's body was indeed not well, but he remained skeptical.

"Yes!" After King Jing saluted, he withdrew from the East Palace.

A secret smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu! He's giving Gu Chengyu a benefit!

After his reminder, the crown prince would definitely be worried that Gu Chengyu would collude with King Gong and would inevitably agree to the promotion.

"Your Highness! Do you really plan to upgrade to Gu Shaoqing's level? Qian Licong saw that the crown prince seemed to be very moved by King Jing's proposal, and he naturally didn't want to see such a situation happen.

"Your Highness! In fact, this matter is not impossible, but it is inevitable that it will not be able to convince the public, Gu Shaoqing is bound to make some merits! The queen mother is still in the hands of King Gong, if Gu Chengyu can save the queen mother, such a big merit will naturally be able to block the mouth of the people! ”

Yao Qinglan, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, turned his head and glanced at Shen Shikang, this old fox, how could it be so easy to rescue the queen?

However, if Gu Chengyu does this errand well, then he will at least be a third-grade person after being promoted. is only one level lower than him, in addition to being from a worse background, the concubine who is worthy of him can barely get on.

has not yet reached the weak crown, and now it is already the fourth grade, which can be regarded as a young and promising. Upgrading to another level, it looks better with your own home.

The prince was shocked when he heard this, and this is not a good idea.

The crown prince nodded, "As for the accession to the throne, Qin Tianjian has already calculated the auspicious day, just five days later. The palace has not yet ascended the throne, so naturally it has no right to improve Gu Chengyu's grade. If he can rescue the queen within a few days, then the palace will naturally be rewarded. ”

That's an agreement!

Yao Qinglan couldn't help but move in her heart, this is a good opportunity, I hope Gu Chengyu can seize it.

Two days later, Gu Chengyu rubbed his body that was a little numb by the carriage and sighed deeply.

There is still a long way to go from the border pass, and they have delayed their trip in order to distance themselves from King Gong's army. In order to get to the border as soon as possible, today he asked Mingmo and them to speed up their trip.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Mingmo hurriedly moved the carriage to the side.

There were many people hurrying on this road during the day, and the caravans were the largest. Of course, there were many of them alone, most of them messengers who delivered letters at the post stations along the way, and they usually traveled in a hurry, leaving their carriages in the dust.

Therefore, hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Mingmo has become accustomed to it.

"Ahead is Lord Gu Shaoqing's carriage?"
