"The old man has been away from the court for a long time, and he has lost his sensitivity to current affairs. Oh, yes! Now that the treasury is empty, it is imminent to solve the problem of border salaries, which is not only a major problem that plagues the emperor, but also a major headache for the officials of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

Liang Zhirui was shocked that Gu Chengyu could think so thoroughly.

In fact, the tea tax proposed by Gu Chengyu is already a benevolent policy, and it does not have much impact on ordinary people, it is better than increasing the taxes of the people, right?

The imperial court had already increased the tax once, but later those courtiers brought up the old things, but the emperor pressed them down.

If it really comes to the point where there is no choice, it is not impossible to add it again.

Gu Chengyu admits that he is selfish, but so what? He didn't want to be a virgin, and he couldn't bear the burden of a nation.

It can only be said that we will do our part to minimize the loss.

Liang Zhirui sighed, closed his eyes and nodded, "What you did was right." ”

He finally knew why he wanted to give way to Xia Qing, because he was too benevolent.

If Dayan is really a peaceful and prosperous era, then his methods are indeed suitable.

But now that Dayan is worried about internal and external troubles, he is so indecisive and forward-looking, it is indeed not suitable to sit in the position of the first assistant.

Xia Qing is indeed not a good official who thinks about the people, but he is ruthless, resolute, and can bend and stretch, which is indeed much better than him.

He had been unconvinced before, thinking that the emperor was annoyed by the alchemy.

Now that I think about it, the emperor promised him to resign, and I am afraid that he was also thoughtful. Ignoring Xia Qing's rivalry with him before, he had already had such an idea.

It's just to take care of his face, it's not good to mention it directly!

Thinking about this, Liang Zhirui was a little depressed.

Gu Chengyu saw that Liang Zhirui had lost his spirit, and he was a little worried.

The teacher agreed to him, but he was afraid that the teacher would not be able to get over that hurdle in his heart.

"Teacher, if you really think it's inappropriate, then the student will find another way for the emperor?"

Gu Chengyu didn't want to upset the teacher, this was the biggest difference of opinion between the two of them.

He has some thinking from his previous life, but the teacher is an upright person, so he may not be able to accept it.

In fact, he thinks that he has already talked about this, if the teacher still disagrees, he can only think of another way, and he will not hurt the fate between the master and the apprentice.

"Nope! You're not wrong, it's the old man who is in love. As for the tea tax, those tea merchants and tea farmers are not without benefits, and the border salary cannot be in arrears. There are still Daxing at the border passes, and the soldiers are guarding the territory, how can they deduct their money? ”

Liang Zhirui put aside what he thought just now, and the past was like a cloud of smoke. Now that it's over, you can't dwell on it anymore.

Liang Zhirui looked at the young man in front of him who was as tall as a green pine, this son was so wicked, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for this dynasty.

But then he shook his head again, didn't he know Gu Chengyu's character?

This is a person who values love and righteousness, otherwise, his second brother would treat him like this, and he would not tolerate it to this day.

What's more, because he didn't agree, he was going to give up this matter, which is enough to show that although this son is tactful, he really respects him.

But he still had to say what should be admonished. This is still a young man, and he doesn't want Gu Chengyu to be affected by officialdom.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the teacher's face, and saw that he had returned to normal, and when he said this, he didn't seem to be reluctant, so he really put his mind at ease.

"Since you have already mentioned this matter to the emperor, how can you give up halfway? Isn't this guilty of deception? Rest assured! The old man is not stubborn yet. ”

Gu Chengyu was also relieved, he originally planned that the teacher really disagreed, so he had to take out the glass recipe and stabilize the emperor first.

After all, the tea tax was proposed by him, and he said that it was not feasible, isn't that playing tricks on the emperor?

"However, you have a smooth temperament and a bright brain, and the old man is afraid that you will lose your heart if you rise and fall in the officialdom in the future."

When Liang Zhirui said this, the expression on his face was unprecedentedly dignified.

"You have to remember to stick to your heart at all times and not to do things that go against your conscience."

His disciple's ability is not small, if he has a bad heart, no one can resist it!

Gu Chengyu hurriedly said: "Students remember the teacher's teachings!" In the future, try to be as good as possible. ”

Liang Zhirui nodded, and then reacted, what does it mean to try to do it?

Gu Chengyu hurriedly said with a hippie smile: "The teacher still doesn't believe me? There are teachers watching all the time, where do students dare? ”

Liang Zhirui glanced at him angrily, this disciple is used to coaxing him with good words, "Will the old man still look at you for the rest of your life?" The old man is old, and the road in the future will depend on you to go on, you just remember what the old man said today. ”

When Gu Chengyu heard this, his mood immediately became heavy.

"The teacher is not very old, he is still young! You see, if you go out with me, people will definitely think that you are my father. ”

He has been a disciple of Liang Zhirui since he was eight years old, and Liang Zhirui has regarded him as his own, and he is already one of his closest people in the world.

"Do you think the old man is your wife? These sweet and greasy words are only liked by women like your wife. At the age of the old man, there is a surplus for your grandfather. ”

Gu Chengyu didn't want to talk about this topic, it was too heavy, so he immediately shouted: "Oops! It's been a while, and I haven't gone to see my wife yet! Does the teacher see if there are any things that need to be corrected? I'm going to visit my wife. ”

Knowing that Gu Chengyu didn't want to say this anymore, Liang Zhirui wrote the booklet and pointed out two small details and made changes.

"Okay, you've written it comprehensively, but you have to write about the tea farmers' land tax reduction."

Liang Zhirui didn't see this before, so he misunderstood Gu Chengyu.

"This is what the students plan to keep in the court, those ......" Gu Chengyu said his plan, Liang Zhirui nodded, and felt that those officials would be more acceptable in this way.

However, "Are you saying that the emperor actually asked you to participate in the court meeting?" ”

Officials below the fourth rank were not allowed to participate in the court meeting, and the emperor actually authorized Gu Chengyu to participate in the court meeting.

From this point of view, the emperor attaches much more importance to this disciple than he imagined.

"Yes! The emperor only said that the excerpt should be reviewed by him before it was completed. ”

Although Gu Chengyu said this, he knew that this was already the final word.

He also knew the emperor's intention of asking him to participate in the court meeting, which was nothing more than a verbal war with those courtiers.

The emperor must have been impatient to argue with those courtiers, and it happened that this was raised by him again, so he simply threw these questions to him.

"Either way, it's your pleasure. With this honor, you must be cautious and diligent in your work in the future. ”

Liang Zhirui's meaning, Gu Chengyu understood. It's nothing more than because someone will definitely blush and then stumble on him.

"Remember, students!"
