Chapter 70 Make Gu Jinnian a Marquis?The words of the king, the crisis emerges
Chapter 70 Make Gu Jinnian a Marquis?The words of the king, the crisis emerges
"I, yes."
A firm voice came from the palace.
This is the emperor's promise and the emperor's attitude.
The sufferings of the refugees in Jiangning County are all gathered in this picture of hunger and death for thousands of miles.
People in Kyoto knelt down to petition.
Gu Jinnian pleaded guilty three times.
Whether it is the will of God or the will of the people, Emperor Yongsheng must not go against the general trend.
But the main reason is that as an emperor, he would not tolerate this situation, if Gu Jinnian hadn't condensed such a celestial phenomenon.
Maybe he will take a long-term plan, first kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and then reap them step by step. Don't rush.
But now as soon as the celestial phenomena come out and the people's will is in their favor, he can act recklessly.
The sword of the people's hearts is the sharpest sword between heaven and earth.
Get the answer from Emperor Yongsheng.
Outside the palace gate.
Gu Jinnian bowed deeply again.
The people in Kyoto also bowed to Emperor Yongsheng, and then shouted loudly.
"Long live, long live, my emperor."
The people knelt down and shouted long live, and all civil and military officials also knelt down at this moment.
Daxia Wuyou knelt down to worship.
But today we must worship, which symbolizes obedience to God's will.
Although Li Shan and the others knelt down to worship, their eyes could not help but fall on Gu Jinnian.
Their hearts were shocked, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Gu Jinnian is a variable.
Variables in the court.
Politics is not like this. Although he is full of enthusiasm and seems to have done something that the people want, but for Chaotang and Daxia, killing businessmen is not a good thing after all.
Not only Li Shan, but all civil servants had an inexplicable idea about Gu Jinnian.
Gu Jinnian was extremely talented, and they recognized it.
Gu Jinnian was shocked, and they also recognized it.
But this does not mean that Gu Jinnian will become a good official in the future.
Too rigid and easy to break.
Civil officials were like this, but those Confucian officials were different. They looked at Gu Jinnian and were deeply moved.
Zhu Yuan, the head of Confucian officials in the court, looked at Gu Jinnian quietly, and muttered a few words to himself.
"Xing, the people are suffering."
"Death, the people suffer."
"What a rise and fall and the suffering of the people, what a suffering of the people."
"Gu Jinnian has the qualifications of a Confucian and Taoist saint."
Zhu Yuan said that he is the head of the Confucian officials, and in the court, his status is the same as that of the prime minister, not weaker than the Duke of Zhenguo.
It's just that Zhu Yuan, like the Duke of Zhen, does not go to court on weekdays, but his reputation and prestige are not weaker than Su Wenjing.
Su Wenjing is the head of Confucianism and Taoism, but Zhu Yuan is the head of Confucianism, Taoism and sages. Both of them are masters in the literary world.
It's just that Su Wenjing is more famous because he stepped into the holy realm with half of his foot.
"The talent of a saint? Sir, does this Gu Jinnian really have such talent?"
Some Confucian officials were astonished and couldn't help but speak.
Zhu Yuan's evaluation is too high, although the Gu family has been bragging that Gu Jinnian is a saint, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is just happy.
But it's different now, Zhu Yuan personally admits that Gu Jinnian has the qualifications of a saint, that's a big deal.
"Looking at ancient and modern times, who can write eternal articles at the age of 16? Who else can write poetry for the country at the age of 16? Who else dares to plead for the lives of thousands of people at the age of 16?"
"He has written poems through the ages. Has there been such a person throughout the ages?"
"Whether Gu Jinnian can become a saint or not, I'm not sure, but his future achievements will definitely not be weaker than mine."
Zhu Yuan spoke seriously, his evaluation of Gu Jinnian was extremely high.
In particular, Gu Jinnian's fearlessness of power made him deeply admired.
You must know that Gu Jinnian himself is also a powerful person, this is what makes him admire even more.
Ordinary people are not afraid of power, and the worst thing is to die.
But when the powerful offend the powerful, it is generally a conflict of interest.
If there is no conflict of interest, they will definitely not make a move, and now Gu Jinnian is avenging justice for the people without any benefit in return, and even offended many people. This spirit really moved him.
And let Zhu Yuan feel ashamed.
It can be said that what Gu Jinnian did today not only won the hearts of the people, but also occupied a place in the hearts of scholars all over the world.
Especially in the hearts of scholars in Daxia.
Just because of this matter, anyone who sees Gu Jinnian in the future should respectfully address him as His Royal Highness.
Inside the palace.
The crown prince, King Qin, and King Wei quietly looked at the scene in the sky.
There was shock in the prince's eyes.
And King Qin's eyes were full of excitement, and there was also a kind of joy.
As for His Royal Highness King Wei, he was amazed.
Both the Prince and the King of Qin have different thoughts.
However, in Daxia Capital, there is also a figure looking at the sky with complicated eyes.
Also at this time.
Above the dome of the sky, the picture of starving for thousands of miles gradually disappeared.
After the rain, the sky cleared up, and wisps of sunshine came and fell on Gu Jinnian.
At the same time, a bluish-white ray of light poured into Gu Jinnian's body, which was the righteousness of heaven and earth.
And the talent in Gu Jinnian's body also broke through in an instant, reaching the state of nourishing energy and elevating people.
This is the second realm of Confucianism and Taoism, and because of the true righteousness of the world, Gu Jinnian directly reached the second realm of consummation.
As long as you stand up for words, you can reach the third realm, and become a scholar for Liyan, that is, to know the sage and stand up for words.
At the same time, the terrifying awe-inspiring righteousness formed a cloud in his body, submerged into the ancient tree, and condensed into a fruit of martial arts, although he didn't know why it became a fruit of martial arts.
But there are a total of 36 such martial arts fruits, which can be described as a bumper harvest.
It's just that Gu Jinnian is not in the mood to take care of this for the time being.
What he did today was not to get a reward, but to breathe in his heart.
"Your Majesty has a decree that hundreds of officials will enter the court."
at this time.
Following the eunuch's voice, the expressions of the officials outside the palace changed slightly.
But soon, they all walked towards the palace.
Because they knew that the emperor was going to make a move.
After all the officials entered, a figure also appeared beside Gu Jinnian.
It was his father, Gu Qianzhou.
"Jin Nian."
"Go home."
He spoke slowly, and his eyes were a little complicated, because for a while, he couldn't see through his son.
Think about it, a few months ago, Gu Jinnian was still a playboy.
But a few months later, everything Gu Jinnian did was earth-shattering.
But he had no other doubts. Instead, he believed that Gu Jinnian had been hiding for 16 years.
In this way, he was heartbroken instead, feeling that the Gu family put too much pressure and burden on Gu Jinnian, otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.
Soon, Gu Qianzhou led Gu Jinnian towards Gu's house.
On the street, when all the people saw Gu Jinnian's figure, their eyes suddenly showed admiration.
Some old people even bowed deeply.
Gu Jinnian won the hearts of the people.
It's not the Gu family, but himself.
Facing the worship of the common people, Gu Jinnian remained silent.
in this way.
Inside the Daxia Palace.
With the Manchu civil and military entering the dynasty.
Emperor Yongsheng spoke directly.
"Today, Gu Jinnian, the grandson of Lord Zhen Guo, pleaded guilty for all the people, what do you think?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke.
He looked at the officials and officials, waiting for their reply.
But in fact, no matter how the hundred officials answered, the facts could not be changed.
"It's God's will, I don't have any suggestions."
"God's will has been determined, and the people's hearts will go, and the ministers have no objection."
All the officials spoke together. At this time, no one dared to disobey the emperor, because this matter was no longer a simple political struggle, but the will of God.
They dared to be angry with the emperor, and dared to speak out against the emperor, but they dared not disobey public opinion.
No one dares to do this.
"it is good."
Emperor Yongsheng nodded, he was very satisfied with the performance of the officials.
"In this case, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment will listen to the order."
"Prime Minister Li Shan drafted an order. The two of you will dispatch elites to Jiangning County. Zhao Aiqing, I want you to investigate all female businessmen in Jiangning County, including corrupt officials, within three days according to the words of the people. Once found, all of them will be arrested." Jiangning Prison."
"It will be reviewed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Once he pleads guilty, he will be beheaded at the vegetable farm in Jiangning County, as an example to others."
"If anyone refuses to accept it, the whole family will be executed."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs will then send people to investigate the family property, confiscate it for disaster relief, and order the Lantern Division to investigate carefully to see if there is another hidden story about the Jiangning flood disaster. Anyone involved will be shot to death."
"If there are people in the court, all the families will be copied and beheaded."
"Furthermore, advance the Beijing inspection. I want the officials to complete the Beijing inspection within one month. Don't bend the law for personal gain."
"After the Great Xia Poetry Conference, I will hold a banquet for all the officials. At the same time, I will also issue an order for the people. If there is any grievance among the people in the capital and the Great Xia, all the prefectures and counties must deal with it severely."
"As long as there is collusion between officials and businessmen, oppressing the people, and anyone who lives in the fish and meat, they will be killed without mercy."
"Do you understand?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke.
It was just these words that changed the expression of Manchu civil and military officials.
Because things were ten times more serious than they expected.
There is no other reason.
Emperor Yongsheng obviously wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate the biggest cancer in the dynasty.
Aristocratic family.
This is the existence that all emperors hate, and it is also the existence that all emperors fear.
The powerful family is the existence that the Taizu dare not move.
Now, what Emperor Yongsheng is doing is challenging them. This kind of thing is terrifying, and it is very likely to overthrow the dynasty.
Perhaps half of the people above the court came from aristocratic families.
In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, basically more than half of the officials were from aristocratic families, and the remaining officials, even if they were not from aristocratic families, were inextricably linked to these aristocratic families.
It can be said that the real master of Daxia is not the emperor in front of him, but the group of aristocratic families.
This is no hidden secret.
On the contrary, this is a common sense. After all, there are always people who are rich and some people are always poor. In order to centralize power, those in power can allow the existence of family members, but they absolutely do not allow these family members not to be their own.
It is not uncommon to attack a family.
But such blatant targeting is the real trouble.
"His Majesty."
"Business officials in Jiangning County caused the people to suffer from fire and water. It is intolerable. The ministers understand that they should not be involved too much because of the flood. The new dynasty has just been established, and it needs benevolent government to build the hearts of the people. You can't kill and stop killing. Hope to see you again." Your Majesty, think twice."
At this moment, Yang Kai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to speak out, and he persuaded Emperor Yongsheng not to stop killing with killing.
Follow Yang Kai to come forward.
More officials have also come forward.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. The matter of Jiangning County, the gods and gods are all angry, but it is true that it cannot be involved too much. The most urgent thing is to stabilize the nineteen mansions of Jiangning County."
"Think twice, Your Majesty."
"Think twice, Your Majesty."
Under the influence of a Dao body, everyone who speaks to persuade is more or less related to the family, even if they are not related, they must take the initiative to step forward.
Moving family.
It's definitely not a good thing, and it's definitely not a smart thing to do.
Taizu couldn't complete this achievement back then, and Emperor Yongsheng naturally couldn't complete it either.
This is not a question of whether the individual is strong or not, but that the timing is not ripe.
Acting rashly will lead to an instant intensification of internal conflicts. At that time, the country may change hands again, but they dare not say this, and they will not say it.
After all, Emperor Yongsheng was able to sit in this position, and he also relied on the help of many aristocratic families back then.
It is definitely not a wise thing to do it now.
"It's public opinion."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke with a cold face.
"Please think twice, Your Majesty."
All the ministers lowered their heads. It is already the limit to move the three great families, and it is really impossible to continue to move other people.
Look at the attitude of Manchu civil and military.
Emperor Yongsheng was a little silent.
He really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to move Daxia's family, but he never expected that, under such public opinion, even civil and military officials in the Manchu dynasty would dare to do this.
This made him instantly understand how terrifying the family was.
He felt angry.
A wave of anger.
But he also knows that if the aristocratic family is disturbed, the country will be shaken.
The main reason is too simple, there has always been a civil strife in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Jiande.
He never died, and Emperor Yongsheng couldn't sleep well for a day.
After all, he was the successor hand-picked by the Taizu, and it was really not clean to get the throne himself.
12 years of hard work will not change some people's loyalty to Jiande.
Now, if he touches the powerful family, it would be a huge blow to himself.
In an instant.
Emperor Yongsheng calmed down.
Looking at the ministers.
He spoke slowly.
"It's because I'm a little aggressive."
"Thousands of miles starving to death is a tragic situation in the world. I can't close my eyes for fear of seeing thousands of refugees."
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and found a step to go down.
Hearing this, all the ministers also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
They were afraid that Emperor Yongsheng would go his own way.
"It's just that when this happened, the people's hearts were shaken, and it will not work if they are not severely punished."
"The next decree is to ask wealthy businessmen from all over the world to donate silver taels to Jiangning County."
"It will be collected by the Ministry of Households. If there are any disobedient ones, don't blame me for being cruel."
Emperor Yongsheng changed the topic.
If you don't kill, you don't kill.
But if you want to say that you don't find any trouble, that's not okay.
They have to pay a certain price.
As soon as this remark came out, Manchu civil and military officials remained silent.
But soon, Li Shan's voice sounded.
"Your Majesty Shengming."
He spoke immediately, and the officials didn't hesitate, and quickly shouted, Your Majesty is wise.
Think about it, too, if the knife hides, it is impossible to not punish anything.
In front of life, money is nothing, especially for these wealthy businessmen.
"Okay, dear friends, let's take care of this matter."
"By the way, today Gu Jinnian defended the people and quelled the disaster in Jiangning County. In your opinion, how should I reward you?"
At this time, Emperor Yongsheng mentioned a key matter.
That was Gu Jinnian's reward.
Hearing this, the civil and military officers of the Manchu Dynasty were silent at first, and the military officer immediately stood up.
"Your Majesty, at such a young age, Gu Jinnian was able to quell such a major event for the court. This is the number one hero in my Great Xia, especially for avenging people's grievances today, which is rare in ancient and modern times."
"I respect Gu Jinnian, and I also respect Gu Jinnian, so I implore Your Majesty, please give me your favor."
The military officer said, this is from the lineage of Lord Zhen Guo, and without any embarrassment, he came up to help Gu Jinnian to ask for a position as a marquis.
But as soon as this was said, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty refused to agree.
"No."
"Gu Jinnian's contribution, I think is really good, but the matter of being a Marquis is too big, and Gu Jinnian doesn't even have a crown, so it's not appropriate to be a Marquis."
"I think it's just right to reward him with gold and silver, plus the right to ride a horse in Kyoto, and three king beads, and prepare him for the post of lecturer in the Imperial Academy."
"There is both the emperor's grace and the official position. It can be said that the emperor's grace is mighty."
The left servant of the Ministry of Rites immediately stood up and vetoed it.
Even though Gu Jinnian managed it well, and he did it beautifully and impeccably, and he also avenged the people's grievances, which really won the hearts of the people.
You can directly seal the Marquis, aren't you joking here?
In the past and the present, as a minister, isn't the biggest dream of being a prince and a prime minister?
Being a Marquis at the age of 16 is too outrageous and too exaggerated.
Indeed, what Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites said attracted the approval of all civil servants.
Rewarding good fields of gold and silver is standard equipment. Three king beads are the grace of the emperor. In the Great Xia Dynasty, king beads represent a kind of supreme glory. Only those who have made great contributions to the country and society can be rewarded with one Wangzhu, if you get twelve Wangzhu, it's not that the Marquis is better than the Marquis, basically it will be a matter of time before you get a Marquis and a chancellor.
Just like all the current marquises in Great Xia, none of them possessed twelve king beads, and Li Shan, the prime minister of the current dynasty, only had two king beads, so giving Gu Jinnian three now is considered a great grace of the emperor.
It is also a kind of kindness to give a position as a lecturer of the Fifth Rank Imperial Academy.
After all, as the number one scholar in the dynasty, there was only a sixth-rank official position at the beginning, and it was definitely not a big problem to become an official from the fifth rank.
But after saying this, all the military officers were not happy.
"Speaking as a servant of the Imperial Academy? You can really say it. Jin Nian has made such great contributions, so he is given such an official position? Are you here to make this old man laugh?"
"If this gets out, people all over the world will laugh at our Great Xia Dynasty, who built such a meritorious service to give it a rank five?"
"It's ridiculous, thanks to the heavenly contribution, give it to a fifth-rank official? Fenghou is a bit exaggerated, but it's not impossible?"
"If it's your descendants of civil servants, don't you think it's a duke, don't you think it's too little?"
"Zhao Ming, don't suppress virtuous ministers here. Do you know what it is to pacify Jiangning County? If you follow the previous method, the imperial court will need to allocate at least [-] million taels of silver to rescue the people."
"And I'm afraid that millions of people will die unexpectedly. Gu Jinnian saved [-] million taels of silver for the court, saved millions of people from suffering, and gave him a five-rank? How dare you say this in front of Zhen Guogong ?"
"A group of dogs, do you want me to invite Lord Zhen Guo to come over and beat you up again, so that you can be honest?"
The military officers immediately boiled, and their faces were red.
Gu Jinnian made such a contribution, and in their eyes, being a Marquis is really not a big problem.
Although it was a little too much, the 16-year-old Hou Ye was ridiculously exaggerated, but the question is, is Gu Jinnian worthy?match.
Perfect match.
Besides, there has never been such a thing in ancient and modern times. Could it be possible?Didn't the new rules appear only after they were broken?
Facing the military officer's roar.
The left servant of the Ministry of Rites is not false at all, and said calmly.
"This is the law of etiquette. Being a Marquis at the age of 16 sounds like a glorious thing, but it is not a good thing for the dynasty. The Fuluo Dynasty, the Dajin Dynasty, I am afraid that they will laugh at my Daxia Dynasty and make a Marquis indiscriminately."
"This is not tolerated by etiquette. Gu Jinnian's deeds are admired by the old man, and the admiration is admirable. Everything must be done according to the etiquette."
He said firmly.
Gu Jinnian is the grandson of Lord Zhen Guo, who is the head of military generals. His son, Marquis of Linyang, has received too much care from Lord Zhen Guo, and he was named a Marquis at the price of Duke Zhen Guo not going to court.
Now Gu Jinnian is going to be made a Marquis again?
Three heroes in one class?
is it possible?
Back then, Marquis of Linyang, who was also Gu Jinnian's father, Gu Qianzhou, made hundreds of military exploits, pacified all the bandits in the north, and put an end to the chaos in the country.
In addition, Duke Zhen also made many concessions, and so on, before he was granted the title of Marquis.
Just because of solving a crisis in Jiangning County, now give Gu Jinnian the title of Marquis?They will not agree, and it is absolutely impossible to agree.
"Your Majesty, Gu Jinnian does have a talent that is beyond the world, and it is my blessing in the Great Xia. However, the Gu family already has a duke and a prince. If he becomes a knight again, I'm afraid it will cause rumors."
"Furthermore, Gu Jinnian has not yet reached the crown, and is still young. Even though he is talented and talented, the court is as deep as the sea. Don't just become a Marquis just because of some whimsical ideas."
"It is not tolerated by the etiquette and law, nor is it tolerated by the system. I think what Zhao Shilang said is just right."
The left servant of the official department also came out to speak.
He also disagreed with being a Marquis.
In an instant, the voice of controversy was extremely loud, and none of the main figures came out to express their opinions. Most of them were arguing with each other.
Emperor Yongsheng was tired of hearing it too.
However, Fenghou is also a bit exaggerated.
"All right."
He spoke to stop everyone from arguing.
Then he opened his mouth.
"Blessing Jinnian with the six king beads, he has not reached the crown yet, and it just so happens that he is also in the Daxia Academy. When he comes out of the Daxia Academy, he will be rewarded."
"If there is still credit during the period, it's not that you can't break the rules. If there is no credit, I will make a decision."
Emperor Yongsheng said that it is indeed impossible to become a Marquis now, but he did not agree with the plan proposed by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials.
For such a big matter, give it a fifth rank?Gu Jinnian is also my nephew, right?
He was a little dissatisfied.
It's just that it's too early to say anything now, Gu Jinnian didn't win the crown, and when he comes out of Daxia Academy next year, I, the uncle, will give him the crown, and then it depends on the situation.
If within this year, Gu Jinnian did some amazing things again.
He really wanted to give his nephew a title.
It's just that the time is not ripe now.
But, the words of these people are ugly enough, what does it mean that my nephew is not worthy?
What else is the Fuluo Dynasty? What do you think of the Dajin Dynasty?
Use your eyes to see.
What do you think?
Who cares about them?
Emperor Yongsheng was very upset, even worse than the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty not allowing him to cut down the family.
"Your Majesty, the gift of the six king beads is too great, and I hope that your majesty will take it back and accept Zhao Shilang's words."
However, they were not happy to hear that Emperor Yongsheng rewarded six king beads.
Twelve king beads can actually be sealed as a marquis. How do they know what Emperor Yongsheng thinks?
Don't you just want to lay the groundwork in advance?
Wait for a year, if Gu Jinnian does something good and solves some troubles, he will be rewarded three more, and the imperial examination will come next year.
As soon as the imperial examination comes, Gu Jinnian will definitely win the first place. Will he be given three more king beads then?
Then it is logical to seal the marquis?
So they resolutely refused to agree and strangled it in the cradle.
"Such a great contribution, is it worthy of six king beads?"
"You guys really dare to say that."
"For the flood in Jiangning County, none of you can come up with an idea. After thinking hard, my nephew came up with such a way to calm the chaos."
"Give him six king beads now, do you all think it's too much?"
"Then I also feel that your position is too high. Just because of what you have done, can you compare to my nephew?"
"Who among you has saved thousands of people? Huh?"
"talk?"
"If you don't explain your words to me today, you will kneel outside the west gate for me to let the people see what you look like."
Emperor Yongsheng was angry.
He even swears directly.
He can understand the court battle, this is a political game.
But damn, this nephew imitated his nephew and finally made some achievements, even rewarding six king beads?
What the military officer said just now was correct, if their people had such merits, they would not be too many to reward them with twelve king beads.
Can't it be your turn?
If Gu Jinnian entered the imperial court, he would not get angry.
The problem is that my nephew didn't enter the court, so he started to target him?Start suppressing?
I can fuck your mother.
Emperor Yongsheng's temper also exploded. If he hadn't become an emperor and needed to win people's hearts and engage in emperor's mind, he would never be so polite.
Back then, when he was still the fourth prince, he would scold whoever he caught, such as a great Confucian, a minister, or a prime minister. If he was in a bad mood, he would complain whenever he met.
Haven't sprayed people for a long time, have you forgotten yourself?
Followed by Emperor Yongsheng angrily.
Baiguan was silent.
Especially these civil servants, they did not expect that His Majesty would suddenly become so angry.
The boss got angry, and the bottom didn't dare to say anything more.
"not talking anymore?"
"Dumb?"
"Come on, Zhao Ming, tell me clearly today."
"talk."
Emperor Yongsheng continued to scold angrily.
And Zhao Ming had lowered his head, not saying a word.
Dare to continue talking at this juncture, no one can guarantee whether the emperor will give him a knife.
It is wise to shut up.
"His Majesty."
"The minister believes that what His Majesty said is not wrong, and what the ministers said is not wrong. After all, too many things have happened these days."
"I hope His Majesty will calm down."
Finally, the prime minister spoke up and came out to smooth things over.
There's no need to be so stiff about this kind of thing.
After all, it's not that Gu Jinnian is now a Marquis, it's just that he has this intention.
"Please, Your Majesty, calm down."
"Please, Your Majesty, calm down."
Voices sounded one after another, asking Emperor Yongsheng to appease his anger.
And Emperor Yongsheng looked at the officials.
I didn't continue to scold.
"That's it for the matter."
"Also, how are you preparing for the Great Xia Poetry Association and the Jingcha?"
Seeing that all the officials were honest, Emperor Yongsheng did not continue to struggle.
Instead, drag the topic to another matter.
Afterwards, in the court hall, routine resumed again.
at the same time.
Township government.
Inside the study.
Mr. Gu held a brush in his hand and left a few marks on the rice paper.
In the study room, there were only Gu Jinnian and the old man, but Gu Qianzhou was not here.
After a while.
The old man put away the brush, then picked up the rice paper, and placed it in front of Gu Jinnian.
on rice paper.
There are also four words written impressively.
The hearts of the people are like boats.
Everything is silent.
But thousands of words are all in the rice paper.
"grandfather."
When Gu Jinnian spoke, he knew that he had done a great job this time, so he was a little impulsive.
"Needless to say."
"Jin Nian."
"This time, you saved the Gu family a sigh of relief."
"You didn't embarrass the Gu family, and you didn't do anything wrong, it's just that you are too strong."
"Grandpa understands your thoughts. You want to take the road of a lonely minister and share the pressure for the Gu family, but you also underestimate your uncles, grandpa and me too much."
Mr. Gu did not blame Gu Jinnian.
Instead, he praised Gu Jinnian.
If Gu Jinnian was good at calculation, he would not like it, and he felt that there was no problem with Gu Jinnian doing so.
This is what a man should do.
There is blood in the bones.
What he looked down on the most in his life was also the kind of duplicitous literati, so he was very satisfied with what Gu Jinnian did.
"Grandpa, don't you blame me?"
Gu Jinnian was a little surprised.
After all, I have offended so many people, and for the sake of peace of mind, I don't care about the consequences.
Doing so will affect the Gu family.
"Jinnian, you defended the people, how could grandpa blame you?"
"Grandpa was also an ordinary person back then."
"Although he became the Duke of the current dynasty with the help of his immortal military exploits, he was nothing more than a commoner before he followed the Taizu."
"What I hate the most are those female businessmen and dirty officials. It's just that grandpa is old and can't control many things."
"You did what grandpa wanted to do, so no one will blame you."
Mr. Gu shook his head. People of the older generation still have arrogance in their bones.
But the only place to blame is that Gu Jinnian chose to bear it alone.
He didn't like this point.
"Jin Nian."
"Grandpa doesn't care what you do, but you have to remember that no one in the Gu family is afraid of trouble."
"Don't think about it alone. Your grandfather is not afraid of trouble, and your father is not afraid of trouble. Your useless uncles, even the most useless sixth uncle, are definitely not afraid of trouble."
"You have to remember that no matter who you face, the Gu family will always be behind you."
"As long as you think it's right, you can do it. If you break the sky, grandpa will support you."
"Everyone in the world says that the court is as deep as the sea, but the Gu family is your magic needle, do you understand?"
Mr. Gu preached.
He just wanted to express one meaning.
If you have something to do, the whole family will go there together.
Don't think about it alone.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian's heart warmed, but he didn't say anything, everything was kept silent.
"However, Jinnian, the matter of Jiangning County should be settled."
"No accident, His Majesty will make an order today, and when the time comes, those who should be killed will be killed and those who should be arrested."
"Your father and your uncles will deal with these matters, and you don't need to get involved."
"During this time, you should study hard at Daxia Academy."
"This is the most important thing, other things are easy to talk about."
"You must be in Daxia Academy, study hard and achieve success in your studies. There is a great event waiting for you there. Don't forget the fundamentals."
"Do you understand?"
The old man continued to speak, telling Gu Jinnian to focus on his studies.
"clear."
"Grandpa, please rest assured."
Gu Jinnian nodded. Although he didn't know what secrets Daxia Academy had, his grandfather said so.
Naturally he did not dare to neglect.
"okay."
"You are almost reaching Guan's adulthood now, and you understand many things in your heart."
"Grandpa will stop talking."
"But there is something that Grandpa still wants to tell you."
The old man didn't say much, but took out a thick stack of picture scrolls from the desk and placed them in front of Gu Jinnian.
"Jinnian, these are the granddaughters of Grandpa's subordinates, all of them are as beautiful as flowers."
"A few great Confucian scholars also came to the door, and brought over the portraits of their granddaughters."
"Look now, and if you are satisfied, stay. Grandpa will arrange your marriage later."
The old man spoke.
very direct.
But Gu Jinnian was a little confused.
marriage?
Good guy, I'm only 16 years old?
Is this tossing about the marriage?
Is this against the rules?
Let me see.
Gu Jinnian didn't refuse, after all, the elders couldn't refuse the gift.
The scroll unfolded.
Gu Jinnian looked over one by one.
how to say.
It's all okay, but it has no internal taste, mainly because the portrait is not interesting at all, such as freckles on the face, or skin color.
Of course, the most important thing is the figure, which can't be seen at all.
After scanning around, Gu Jinnian was not particularly satisfied.
"Grandpa, neither."
He shook his head and directly refused.
"Will not work?"
The old man frowned, but after thinking about it, who is his grandson now?
These crooked melons and split dates are really not good enough.
"That's fine, grandpa will help you find out again, anyway, you have this idea as long as you have this idea."
"I'll ask your uncles to go shopping later to see whose daughter looks good."
The old man is very domineering.
But Gu Jinnian still shook his head.
"Grandpa, grandson is still young, and now he's studying in an academy. In fact, the marriage is a bit too hasty."
"Besides, it's not interesting to just look at the portrait, let's wait until the crown."
Gu Jinnian politely refused.
He really never thought about getting married. As the old saying goes, what exactly does marriage bring to a man?
I'm still young, so there's no need to be anxious, and I'm still the grandson of the Duke, and I'm handsome. Such a good status allowed me to get married so early.
He doesn't do it.
"Wait until the crown is too late."
"Folk people, get married and have children at the age of 16, start a family and start a career early, otherwise the Ministry of Rites will use this matter to criticize you again."
"Wait for your uncle and the others to help you choose."
The old man disagreed.
The so-called starting a family and starting a business is considered an adult when you have a family, and you are a child if you don't have a family.
But it's true that there's no rush, Gu Jinnian is so good, he can wait.
"That's fine, grandpa. Then I'll go back to the academy first. I haven't told Mr. Wen Jing this time. It's not good if I don't go back sooner."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
"Well, grandpa asked someone to prepare a sedan chair for you. Don't worry about the next thing. With grandpa here, it's not your turn."
The old man exhorted.
Gu Jinnian nodded, turned around and left.
Steward Wang went to prepare the sedan chair, while Gu Jinnian went to his mother's place. They met and exchanged pleasantries for a while before leaving.
After Gu Jinnian left.
In the study.
Gu Qianzhou has already walked in.
"Thousand boats."
"Let the sixth man investigate the matter in Jiangning County."
"The mastermind behind the scenes must be in a hurry."
"Check carefully, and you will gain something."
"I want to see who is behind the scenes to harm Jinnian."
sounded.
Old man Gu looked cold.
"My child understands."
Gu Qianzhou nodded, his heart was also full of curiosity and deep killing intent.
As long as he finds any clues and finds out who is plotting against his son secretly, Gu Qianzhou promises to tear his body to pieces.
in this way.
After half an hour.
A secret decree was passed on.
Send it to Jiangning Mansion at the fastest speed.
Less than two hours.
The secret decree of the imperial court was sent to the governor of Jiangning County in a special way.
Get the secret decree.
The sheriff had almost no nonsense, and he had already expected this moment after Jiangning County was pacified.
So everything has been deployed in secret.
In addition, the vision of Kyoto reflects Jiangning County.
He was ready for everything.
Now, as soon as the imperial edict arrives.
Zhang Yang started to act.
"Pass down the official's order to dispatch [-] troops stationed in the river, notify Ye Yihou, send troops to blockade the [-]th mansion in Jiangning, and arrest criminals from all over the place."
Zhang Yang spoke.
Then he personally led the troops and began to search and arrest people from house to house.
for a while.
In Jiangning Mansion, there was an instant boiling.
I saw a large number of officers and soldiers rushing into rice shops, regardless of the three seven twenty-one, and arresting anyone they saw.
When some big businessmen learned that they were so frightened that they didn't even have time to deliver the letter, so they were detained and left.
But the most arrogant one is the Zheng family.
In the mansion.
Three hundred elites rushed into Zheng's house, blocked the escape route, and captured all of them, from Duke Zheng to the servants, leaving no one left.
"You are really bold. Behind me is King Qi Lin. Aren't you afraid of death?"
Zheng Gong's roar sounded.
Holding the king's order in his hand, he wanted to use it to intimidate everyone.
"King Qi Lin?"
"In the hands of this official, it is His Majesty's imperial decree."
"Come here, arrest the criminal and put him in prison, waiting for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to review."
"All family property is sealed up and moved into the government for inventory."
Zhang Yang's figure appeared, holding the imperial edict in his hand, with a cold look on his face.
Looking at the decree.
Zheng Gong's face was ugly, but he finally gritted his teeth and remained silent.
in this way.
In Jiangning Mansion, almost all businessmen, large and small, were arrested.
The businessmen who were not arrested did not lose their conscience in the face of this disaster, so they escaped a catastrophe.
The three great families collapsed in an instant.
He was even forced to sit in a prison van and paraded through the streets.
At this moment, all the people in the city appeared together, carrying some vegetable leaves and throwing them on the prison cart.
But I didn't know that it was the little clever ghost who suddenly appeared and brought buckets of night incense.
"Everyone, don't waste food, don't give these female businessmen a taste of sweetness, I have Ye Xiang here, let me come."
sounded.
Soon buckets of Yexiang were poured out and fell on the group of female businessmen.
Suddenly, an indescribable smell hit.
And the businessmen in the prison van vomited one by one.
The officers and soldiers on both sides were also a little numb.
I have been persuading the people not to throw this thing away.
Can't hold back the anger in the hearts of the people.
What's even more amazing is that when someone saw this, he directly asked his own child to make it easy on the spot, then wrapped it with a cloth, rushed over, and then flung it directly on Zheng Gong's face, steaming.
A group of officers and soldiers were provoked, their faces were pale, and they ran towards the front, but they didn't dare to stand aside.
This is so hateful.
at this time.
Jiangning House.
On an ancient pagoda.
A figure slowly stood in the ancient pagoda.
This is a middle-aged man.
Wearing a Confucian robe, he looks extremely gentle.
Looking at the rows of prison cars, his expression was silent.
abruptly.
Another figure appeared in the ancient pagoda, standing behind him.
"My lord, my lord's plan failed, Lei Ting was furious, and ordered my lord to solve all future troubles, there must be no mistakes."
sounded.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar was slightly silent.
Then he opened his mouth slowly.
"it is good."
He answered.
And the latter spoke again.
"My lord still has a secret order, please check it, sir."
Immediately afterwards, the latter handed over a small bamboo tube to the other party.
The middle-aged Confucian opened the bamboo tube.
Take out a note.
And there were only three words on the note.
【Gu Jinnian】
(End of this chapter)
"I, yes."
A firm voice came from the palace.
This is the emperor's promise and the emperor's attitude.
The sufferings of the refugees in Jiangning County are all gathered in this picture of hunger and death for thousands of miles.
People in Kyoto knelt down to petition.
Gu Jinnian pleaded guilty three times.
Whether it is the will of God or the will of the people, Emperor Yongsheng must not go against the general trend.
But the main reason is that as an emperor, he would not tolerate this situation, if Gu Jinnian hadn't condensed such a celestial phenomenon.
Maybe he will take a long-term plan, first kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and then reap them step by step. Don't rush.
But now as soon as the celestial phenomena come out and the people's will is in their favor, he can act recklessly.
The sword of the people's hearts is the sharpest sword between heaven and earth.
Get the answer from Emperor Yongsheng.
Outside the palace gate.
Gu Jinnian bowed deeply again.
The people in Kyoto also bowed to Emperor Yongsheng, and then shouted loudly.
"Long live, long live, my emperor."
The people knelt down and shouted long live, and all civil and military officials also knelt down at this moment.
Daxia Wuyou knelt down to worship.
But today we must worship, which symbolizes obedience to God's will.
Although Li Shan and the others knelt down to worship, their eyes could not help but fall on Gu Jinnian.
Their hearts were shocked, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Gu Jinnian is a variable.
Variables in the court.
Politics is not like this. Although he is full of enthusiasm and seems to have done something that the people want, but for Chaotang and Daxia, killing businessmen is not a good thing after all.
Not only Li Shan, but all civil servants had an inexplicable idea about Gu Jinnian.
Gu Jinnian was extremely talented, and they recognized it.
Gu Jinnian was shocked, and they also recognized it.
But this does not mean that Gu Jinnian will become a good official in the future.
Too rigid and easy to break.
Civil officials were like this, but those Confucian officials were different. They looked at Gu Jinnian and were deeply moved.
Zhu Yuan, the head of Confucian officials in the court, looked at Gu Jinnian quietly, and muttered a few words to himself.
"Xing, the people are suffering."
"Death, the people suffer."
"What a rise and fall and the suffering of the people, what a suffering of the people."
"Gu Jinnian has the qualifications of a Confucian and Taoist saint."
Zhu Yuan said that he is the head of the Confucian officials, and in the court, his status is the same as that of the prime minister, not weaker than the Duke of Zhenguo.
It's just that Zhu Yuan, like the Duke of Zhen, does not go to court on weekdays, but his reputation and prestige are not weaker than Su Wenjing.
Su Wenjing is the head of Confucianism and Taoism, but Zhu Yuan is the head of Confucianism, Taoism and sages. Both of them are masters in the literary world.
It's just that Su Wenjing is more famous because he stepped into the holy realm with half of his foot.
"The talent of a saint? Sir, does this Gu Jinnian really have such talent?"
Some Confucian officials were astonished and couldn't help but speak.
Zhu Yuan's evaluation is too high, although the Gu family has been bragging that Gu Jinnian is a saint, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is just happy.
But it's different now, Zhu Yuan personally admits that Gu Jinnian has the qualifications of a saint, that's a big deal.
"Looking at ancient and modern times, who can write eternal articles at the age of 16? Who else can write poetry for the country at the age of 16? Who else dares to plead for the lives of thousands of people at the age of 16?"
"He has written poems through the ages. Has there been such a person throughout the ages?"
"Whether Gu Jinnian can become a saint or not, I'm not sure, but his future achievements will definitely not be weaker than mine."
Zhu Yuan spoke seriously, his evaluation of Gu Jinnian was extremely high.
In particular, Gu Jinnian's fearlessness of power made him deeply admired.
You must know that Gu Jinnian himself is also a powerful person, this is what makes him admire even more.
Ordinary people are not afraid of power, and the worst thing is to die.
But when the powerful offend the powerful, it is generally a conflict of interest.
If there is no conflict of interest, they will definitely not make a move, and now Gu Jinnian is avenging justice for the people without any benefit in return, and even offended many people. This spirit really moved him.
And let Zhu Yuan feel ashamed.
It can be said that what Gu Jinnian did today not only won the hearts of the people, but also occupied a place in the hearts of scholars all over the world.
Especially in the hearts of scholars in Daxia.
Just because of this matter, anyone who sees Gu Jinnian in the future should respectfully address him as His Royal Highness.
Inside the palace.
The crown prince, King Qin, and King Wei quietly looked at the scene in the sky.
There was shock in the prince's eyes.
And King Qin's eyes were full of excitement, and there was also a kind of joy.
As for His Royal Highness King Wei, he was amazed.
Both the Prince and the King of Qin have different thoughts.
However, in Daxia Capital, there is also a figure looking at the sky with complicated eyes.
Also at this time.
Above the dome of the sky, the picture of starving for thousands of miles gradually disappeared.
After the rain, the sky cleared up, and wisps of sunshine came and fell on Gu Jinnian.
At the same time, a bluish-white ray of light poured into Gu Jinnian's body, which was the righteousness of heaven and earth.
And the talent in Gu Jinnian's body also broke through in an instant, reaching the state of nourishing energy and elevating people.
This is the second realm of Confucianism and Taoism, and because of the true righteousness of the world, Gu Jinnian directly reached the second realm of consummation.
As long as you stand up for words, you can reach the third realm, and become a scholar for Liyan, that is, to know the sage and stand up for words.
At the same time, the terrifying awe-inspiring righteousness formed a cloud in his body, submerged into the ancient tree, and condensed into a fruit of martial arts, although he didn't know why it became a fruit of martial arts.
But there are a total of 36 such martial arts fruits, which can be described as a bumper harvest.
It's just that Gu Jinnian is not in the mood to take care of this for the time being.
What he did today was not to get a reward, but to breathe in his heart.
"Your Majesty has a decree that hundreds of officials will enter the court."
at this time.
Following the eunuch's voice, the expressions of the officials outside the palace changed slightly.
But soon, they all walked towards the palace.
Because they knew that the emperor was going to make a move.
After all the officials entered, a figure also appeared beside Gu Jinnian.
It was his father, Gu Qianzhou.
"Jin Nian."
"Go home."
He spoke slowly, and his eyes were a little complicated, because for a while, he couldn't see through his son.
Think about it, a few months ago, Gu Jinnian was still a playboy.
But a few months later, everything Gu Jinnian did was earth-shattering.
But he had no other doubts. Instead, he believed that Gu Jinnian had been hiding for 16 years.
In this way, he was heartbroken instead, feeling that the Gu family put too much pressure and burden on Gu Jinnian, otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.
Soon, Gu Qianzhou led Gu Jinnian towards Gu's house.
On the street, when all the people saw Gu Jinnian's figure, their eyes suddenly showed admiration.
Some old people even bowed deeply.
Gu Jinnian won the hearts of the people.
It's not the Gu family, but himself.
Facing the worship of the common people, Gu Jinnian remained silent.
in this way.
Inside the Daxia Palace.
With the Manchu civil and military entering the dynasty.
Emperor Yongsheng spoke directly.
"Today, Gu Jinnian, the grandson of Lord Zhen Guo, pleaded guilty for all the people, what do you think?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke.
He looked at the officials and officials, waiting for their reply.
But in fact, no matter how the hundred officials answered, the facts could not be changed.
"It's God's will, I don't have any suggestions."
"God's will has been determined, and the people's hearts will go, and the ministers have no objection."
All the officials spoke together. At this time, no one dared to disobey the emperor, because this matter was no longer a simple political struggle, but the will of God.
They dared to be angry with the emperor, and dared to speak out against the emperor, but they dared not disobey public opinion.
No one dares to do this.
"it is good."
Emperor Yongsheng nodded, he was very satisfied with the performance of the officials.
"In this case, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment will listen to the order."
"Prime Minister Li Shan drafted an order. The two of you will dispatch elites to Jiangning County. Zhao Aiqing, I want you to investigate all female businessmen in Jiangning County, including corrupt officials, within three days according to the words of the people. Once found, all of them will be arrested." Jiangning Prison."
"It will be reviewed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Once he pleads guilty, he will be beheaded at the vegetable farm in Jiangning County, as an example to others."
"If anyone refuses to accept it, the whole family will be executed."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs will then send people to investigate the family property, confiscate it for disaster relief, and order the Lantern Division to investigate carefully to see if there is another hidden story about the Jiangning flood disaster. Anyone involved will be shot to death."
"If there are people in the court, all the families will be copied and beheaded."
"Furthermore, advance the Beijing inspection. I want the officials to complete the Beijing inspection within one month. Don't bend the law for personal gain."
"After the Great Xia Poetry Conference, I will hold a banquet for all the officials. At the same time, I will also issue an order for the people. If there is any grievance among the people in the capital and the Great Xia, all the prefectures and counties must deal with it severely."
"As long as there is collusion between officials and businessmen, oppressing the people, and anyone who lives in the fish and meat, they will be killed without mercy."
"Do you understand?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke.
It was just these words that changed the expression of Manchu civil and military officials.
Because things were ten times more serious than they expected.
There is no other reason.
Emperor Yongsheng obviously wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate the biggest cancer in the dynasty.
Aristocratic family.
This is the existence that all emperors hate, and it is also the existence that all emperors fear.
The powerful family is the existence that the Taizu dare not move.
Now, what Emperor Yongsheng is doing is challenging them. This kind of thing is terrifying, and it is very likely to overthrow the dynasty.
Perhaps half of the people above the court came from aristocratic families.
In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, basically more than half of the officials were from aristocratic families, and the remaining officials, even if they were not from aristocratic families, were inextricably linked to these aristocratic families.
It can be said that the real master of Daxia is not the emperor in front of him, but the group of aristocratic families.
This is no hidden secret.
On the contrary, this is a common sense. After all, there are always people who are rich and some people are always poor. In order to centralize power, those in power can allow the existence of family members, but they absolutely do not allow these family members not to be their own.
It is not uncommon to attack a family.
But such blatant targeting is the real trouble.
"His Majesty."
"Business officials in Jiangning County caused the people to suffer from fire and water. It is intolerable. The ministers understand that they should not be involved too much because of the flood. The new dynasty has just been established, and it needs benevolent government to build the hearts of the people. You can't kill and stop killing. Hope to see you again." Your Majesty, think twice."
At this moment, Yang Kai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to speak out, and he persuaded Emperor Yongsheng not to stop killing with killing.
Follow Yang Kai to come forward.
More officials have also come forward.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. The matter of Jiangning County, the gods and gods are all angry, but it is true that it cannot be involved too much. The most urgent thing is to stabilize the nineteen mansions of Jiangning County."
"Think twice, Your Majesty."
"Think twice, Your Majesty."
Under the influence of a Dao body, everyone who speaks to persuade is more or less related to the family, even if they are not related, they must take the initiative to step forward.
Moving family.
It's definitely not a good thing, and it's definitely not a smart thing to do.
Taizu couldn't complete this achievement back then, and Emperor Yongsheng naturally couldn't complete it either.
This is not a question of whether the individual is strong or not, but that the timing is not ripe.
Acting rashly will lead to an instant intensification of internal conflicts. At that time, the country may change hands again, but they dare not say this, and they will not say it.
After all, Emperor Yongsheng was able to sit in this position, and he also relied on the help of many aristocratic families back then.
It is definitely not a wise thing to do it now.
"It's public opinion."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke with a cold face.
"Please think twice, Your Majesty."
All the ministers lowered their heads. It is already the limit to move the three great families, and it is really impossible to continue to move other people.
Look at the attitude of Manchu civil and military.
Emperor Yongsheng was a little silent.
He really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to move Daxia's family, but he never expected that, under such public opinion, even civil and military officials in the Manchu dynasty would dare to do this.
This made him instantly understand how terrifying the family was.
He felt angry.
A wave of anger.
But he also knows that if the aristocratic family is disturbed, the country will be shaken.
The main reason is too simple, there has always been a civil strife in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Jiande.
He never died, and Emperor Yongsheng couldn't sleep well for a day.
After all, he was the successor hand-picked by the Taizu, and it was really not clean to get the throne himself.
12 years of hard work will not change some people's loyalty to Jiande.
Now, if he touches the powerful family, it would be a huge blow to himself.
In an instant.
Emperor Yongsheng calmed down.
Looking at the ministers.
He spoke slowly.
"It's because I'm a little aggressive."
"Thousands of miles starving to death is a tragic situation in the world. I can't close my eyes for fear of seeing thousands of refugees."
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and found a step to go down.
Hearing this, all the ministers also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
They were afraid that Emperor Yongsheng would go his own way.
"It's just that when this happened, the people's hearts were shaken, and it will not work if they are not severely punished."
"The next decree is to ask wealthy businessmen from all over the world to donate silver taels to Jiangning County."
"It will be collected by the Ministry of Households. If there are any disobedient ones, don't blame me for being cruel."
Emperor Yongsheng changed the topic.
If you don't kill, you don't kill.
But if you want to say that you don't find any trouble, that's not okay.
They have to pay a certain price.
As soon as this remark came out, Manchu civil and military officials remained silent.
But soon, Li Shan's voice sounded.
"Your Majesty Shengming."
He spoke immediately, and the officials didn't hesitate, and quickly shouted, Your Majesty is wise.
Think about it, too, if the knife hides, it is impossible to not punish anything.
In front of life, money is nothing, especially for these wealthy businessmen.
"Okay, dear friends, let's take care of this matter."
"By the way, today Gu Jinnian defended the people and quelled the disaster in Jiangning County. In your opinion, how should I reward you?"
At this time, Emperor Yongsheng mentioned a key matter.
That was Gu Jinnian's reward.
Hearing this, the civil and military officers of the Manchu Dynasty were silent at first, and the military officer immediately stood up.
"Your Majesty, at such a young age, Gu Jinnian was able to quell such a major event for the court. This is the number one hero in my Great Xia, especially for avenging people's grievances today, which is rare in ancient and modern times."
"I respect Gu Jinnian, and I also respect Gu Jinnian, so I implore Your Majesty, please give me your favor."
The military officer said, this is from the lineage of Lord Zhen Guo, and without any embarrassment, he came up to help Gu Jinnian to ask for a position as a marquis.
But as soon as this was said, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty refused to agree.
"No."
"Gu Jinnian's contribution, I think is really good, but the matter of being a Marquis is too big, and Gu Jinnian doesn't even have a crown, so it's not appropriate to be a Marquis."
"I think it's just right to reward him with gold and silver, plus the right to ride a horse in Kyoto, and three king beads, and prepare him for the post of lecturer in the Imperial Academy."
"There is both the emperor's grace and the official position. It can be said that the emperor's grace is mighty."
The left servant of the Ministry of Rites immediately stood up and vetoed it.
Even though Gu Jinnian managed it well, and he did it beautifully and impeccably, and he also avenged the people's grievances, which really won the hearts of the people.
You can directly seal the Marquis, aren't you joking here?
In the past and the present, as a minister, isn't the biggest dream of being a prince and a prime minister?
Being a Marquis at the age of 16 is too outrageous and too exaggerated.
Indeed, what Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites said attracted the approval of all civil servants.
Rewarding good fields of gold and silver is standard equipment. Three king beads are the grace of the emperor. In the Great Xia Dynasty, king beads represent a kind of supreme glory. Only those who have made great contributions to the country and society can be rewarded with one Wangzhu, if you get twelve Wangzhu, it's not that the Marquis is better than the Marquis, basically it will be a matter of time before you get a Marquis and a chancellor.
Just like all the current marquises in Great Xia, none of them possessed twelve king beads, and Li Shan, the prime minister of the current dynasty, only had two king beads, so giving Gu Jinnian three now is considered a great grace of the emperor.
It is also a kind of kindness to give a position as a lecturer of the Fifth Rank Imperial Academy.
After all, as the number one scholar in the dynasty, there was only a sixth-rank official position at the beginning, and it was definitely not a big problem to become an official from the fifth rank.
But after saying this, all the military officers were not happy.
"Speaking as a servant of the Imperial Academy? You can really say it. Jin Nian has made such great contributions, so he is given such an official position? Are you here to make this old man laugh?"
"If this gets out, people all over the world will laugh at our Great Xia Dynasty, who built such a meritorious service to give it a rank five?"
"It's ridiculous, thanks to the heavenly contribution, give it to a fifth-rank official? Fenghou is a bit exaggerated, but it's not impossible?"
"If it's your descendants of civil servants, don't you think it's a duke, don't you think it's too little?"
"Zhao Ming, don't suppress virtuous ministers here. Do you know what it is to pacify Jiangning County? If you follow the previous method, the imperial court will need to allocate at least [-] million taels of silver to rescue the people."
"And I'm afraid that millions of people will die unexpectedly. Gu Jinnian saved [-] million taels of silver for the court, saved millions of people from suffering, and gave him a five-rank? How dare you say this in front of Zhen Guogong ?"
"A group of dogs, do you want me to invite Lord Zhen Guo to come over and beat you up again, so that you can be honest?"
The military officers immediately boiled, and their faces were red.
Gu Jinnian made such a contribution, and in their eyes, being a Marquis is really not a big problem.
Although it was a little too much, the 16-year-old Hou Ye was ridiculously exaggerated, but the question is, is Gu Jinnian worthy?match.
Perfect match.
Besides, there has never been such a thing in ancient and modern times. Could it be possible?Didn't the new rules appear only after they were broken?
Facing the military officer's roar.
The left servant of the Ministry of Rites is not false at all, and said calmly.
"This is the law of etiquette. Being a Marquis at the age of 16 sounds like a glorious thing, but it is not a good thing for the dynasty. The Fuluo Dynasty, the Dajin Dynasty, I am afraid that they will laugh at my Daxia Dynasty and make a Marquis indiscriminately."
"This is not tolerated by etiquette. Gu Jinnian's deeds are admired by the old man, and the admiration is admirable. Everything must be done according to the etiquette."
He said firmly.
Gu Jinnian is the grandson of Lord Zhen Guo, who is the head of military generals. His son, Marquis of Linyang, has received too much care from Lord Zhen Guo, and he was named a Marquis at the price of Duke Zhen Guo not going to court.
Now Gu Jinnian is going to be made a Marquis again?
Three heroes in one class?
is it possible?
Back then, Marquis of Linyang, who was also Gu Jinnian's father, Gu Qianzhou, made hundreds of military exploits, pacified all the bandits in the north, and put an end to the chaos in the country.
In addition, Duke Zhen also made many concessions, and so on, before he was granted the title of Marquis.
Just because of solving a crisis in Jiangning County, now give Gu Jinnian the title of Marquis?They will not agree, and it is absolutely impossible to agree.
"Your Majesty, Gu Jinnian does have a talent that is beyond the world, and it is my blessing in the Great Xia. However, the Gu family already has a duke and a prince. If he becomes a knight again, I'm afraid it will cause rumors."
"Furthermore, Gu Jinnian has not yet reached the crown, and is still young. Even though he is talented and talented, the court is as deep as the sea. Don't just become a Marquis just because of some whimsical ideas."
"It is not tolerated by the etiquette and law, nor is it tolerated by the system. I think what Zhao Shilang said is just right."
The left servant of the official department also came out to speak.
He also disagreed with being a Marquis.
In an instant, the voice of controversy was extremely loud, and none of the main figures came out to express their opinions. Most of them were arguing with each other.
Emperor Yongsheng was tired of hearing it too.
However, Fenghou is also a bit exaggerated.
"All right."
He spoke to stop everyone from arguing.
Then he opened his mouth.
"Blessing Jinnian with the six king beads, he has not reached the crown yet, and it just so happens that he is also in the Daxia Academy. When he comes out of the Daxia Academy, he will be rewarded."
"If there is still credit during the period, it's not that you can't break the rules. If there is no credit, I will make a decision."
Emperor Yongsheng said that it is indeed impossible to become a Marquis now, but he did not agree with the plan proposed by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials.
For such a big matter, give it a fifth rank?Gu Jinnian is also my nephew, right?
He was a little dissatisfied.
It's just that it's too early to say anything now, Gu Jinnian didn't win the crown, and when he comes out of Daxia Academy next year, I, the uncle, will give him the crown, and then it depends on the situation.
If within this year, Gu Jinnian did some amazing things again.
He really wanted to give his nephew a title.
It's just that the time is not ripe now.
But, the words of these people are ugly enough, what does it mean that my nephew is not worthy?
What else is the Fuluo Dynasty? What do you think of the Dajin Dynasty?
Use your eyes to see.
What do you think?
Who cares about them?
Emperor Yongsheng was very upset, even worse than the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty not allowing him to cut down the family.
"Your Majesty, the gift of the six king beads is too great, and I hope that your majesty will take it back and accept Zhao Shilang's words."
However, they were not happy to hear that Emperor Yongsheng rewarded six king beads.
Twelve king beads can actually be sealed as a marquis. How do they know what Emperor Yongsheng thinks?
Don't you just want to lay the groundwork in advance?
Wait for a year, if Gu Jinnian does something good and solves some troubles, he will be rewarded three more, and the imperial examination will come next year.
As soon as the imperial examination comes, Gu Jinnian will definitely win the first place. Will he be given three more king beads then?
Then it is logical to seal the marquis?
So they resolutely refused to agree and strangled it in the cradle.
"Such a great contribution, is it worthy of six king beads?"
"You guys really dare to say that."
"For the flood in Jiangning County, none of you can come up with an idea. After thinking hard, my nephew came up with such a way to calm the chaos."
"Give him six king beads now, do you all think it's too much?"
"Then I also feel that your position is too high. Just because of what you have done, can you compare to my nephew?"
"Who among you has saved thousands of people? Huh?"
"talk?"
"If you don't explain your words to me today, you will kneel outside the west gate for me to let the people see what you look like."
Emperor Yongsheng was angry.
He even swears directly.
He can understand the court battle, this is a political game.
But damn, this nephew imitated his nephew and finally made some achievements, even rewarding six king beads?
What the military officer said just now was correct, if their people had such merits, they would not be too many to reward them with twelve king beads.
Can't it be your turn?
If Gu Jinnian entered the imperial court, he would not get angry.
The problem is that my nephew didn't enter the court, so he started to target him?Start suppressing?
I can fuck your mother.
Emperor Yongsheng's temper also exploded. If he hadn't become an emperor and needed to win people's hearts and engage in emperor's mind, he would never be so polite.
Back then, when he was still the fourth prince, he would scold whoever he caught, such as a great Confucian, a minister, or a prime minister. If he was in a bad mood, he would complain whenever he met.
Haven't sprayed people for a long time, have you forgotten yourself?
Followed by Emperor Yongsheng angrily.
Baiguan was silent.
Especially these civil servants, they did not expect that His Majesty would suddenly become so angry.
The boss got angry, and the bottom didn't dare to say anything more.
"not talking anymore?"
"Dumb?"
"Come on, Zhao Ming, tell me clearly today."
"talk."
Emperor Yongsheng continued to scold angrily.
And Zhao Ming had lowered his head, not saying a word.
Dare to continue talking at this juncture, no one can guarantee whether the emperor will give him a knife.
It is wise to shut up.
"His Majesty."
"The minister believes that what His Majesty said is not wrong, and what the ministers said is not wrong. After all, too many things have happened these days."
"I hope His Majesty will calm down."
Finally, the prime minister spoke up and came out to smooth things over.
There's no need to be so stiff about this kind of thing.
After all, it's not that Gu Jinnian is now a Marquis, it's just that he has this intention.
"Please, Your Majesty, calm down."
"Please, Your Majesty, calm down."
Voices sounded one after another, asking Emperor Yongsheng to appease his anger.
And Emperor Yongsheng looked at the officials.
I didn't continue to scold.
"That's it for the matter."
"Also, how are you preparing for the Great Xia Poetry Association and the Jingcha?"
Seeing that all the officials were honest, Emperor Yongsheng did not continue to struggle.
Instead, drag the topic to another matter.
Afterwards, in the court hall, routine resumed again.
at the same time.
Township government.
Inside the study.
Mr. Gu held a brush in his hand and left a few marks on the rice paper.
In the study room, there were only Gu Jinnian and the old man, but Gu Qianzhou was not here.
After a while.
The old man put away the brush, then picked up the rice paper, and placed it in front of Gu Jinnian.
on rice paper.
There are also four words written impressively.
The hearts of the people are like boats.
Everything is silent.
But thousands of words are all in the rice paper.
"grandfather."
When Gu Jinnian spoke, he knew that he had done a great job this time, so he was a little impulsive.
"Needless to say."
"Jin Nian."
"This time, you saved the Gu family a sigh of relief."
"You didn't embarrass the Gu family, and you didn't do anything wrong, it's just that you are too strong."
"Grandpa understands your thoughts. You want to take the road of a lonely minister and share the pressure for the Gu family, but you also underestimate your uncles, grandpa and me too much."
Mr. Gu did not blame Gu Jinnian.
Instead, he praised Gu Jinnian.
If Gu Jinnian was good at calculation, he would not like it, and he felt that there was no problem with Gu Jinnian doing so.
This is what a man should do.
There is blood in the bones.
What he looked down on the most in his life was also the kind of duplicitous literati, so he was very satisfied with what Gu Jinnian did.
"Grandpa, don't you blame me?"
Gu Jinnian was a little surprised.
After all, I have offended so many people, and for the sake of peace of mind, I don't care about the consequences.
Doing so will affect the Gu family.
"Jinnian, you defended the people, how could grandpa blame you?"
"Grandpa was also an ordinary person back then."
"Although he became the Duke of the current dynasty with the help of his immortal military exploits, he was nothing more than a commoner before he followed the Taizu."
"What I hate the most are those female businessmen and dirty officials. It's just that grandpa is old and can't control many things."
"You did what grandpa wanted to do, so no one will blame you."
Mr. Gu shook his head. People of the older generation still have arrogance in their bones.
But the only place to blame is that Gu Jinnian chose to bear it alone.
He didn't like this point.
"Jin Nian."
"Grandpa doesn't care what you do, but you have to remember that no one in the Gu family is afraid of trouble."
"Don't think about it alone. Your grandfather is not afraid of trouble, and your father is not afraid of trouble. Your useless uncles, even the most useless sixth uncle, are definitely not afraid of trouble."
"You have to remember that no matter who you face, the Gu family will always be behind you."
"As long as you think it's right, you can do it. If you break the sky, grandpa will support you."
"Everyone in the world says that the court is as deep as the sea, but the Gu family is your magic needle, do you understand?"
Mr. Gu preached.
He just wanted to express one meaning.
If you have something to do, the whole family will go there together.
Don't think about it alone.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian's heart warmed, but he didn't say anything, everything was kept silent.
"However, Jinnian, the matter of Jiangning County should be settled."
"No accident, His Majesty will make an order today, and when the time comes, those who should be killed will be killed and those who should be arrested."
"Your father and your uncles will deal with these matters, and you don't need to get involved."
"During this time, you should study hard at Daxia Academy."
"This is the most important thing, other things are easy to talk about."
"You must be in Daxia Academy, study hard and achieve success in your studies. There is a great event waiting for you there. Don't forget the fundamentals."
"Do you understand?"
The old man continued to speak, telling Gu Jinnian to focus on his studies.
"clear."
"Grandpa, please rest assured."
Gu Jinnian nodded. Although he didn't know what secrets Daxia Academy had, his grandfather said so.
Naturally he did not dare to neglect.
"okay."
"You are almost reaching Guan's adulthood now, and you understand many things in your heart."
"Grandpa will stop talking."
"But there is something that Grandpa still wants to tell you."
The old man didn't say much, but took out a thick stack of picture scrolls from the desk and placed them in front of Gu Jinnian.
"Jinnian, these are the granddaughters of Grandpa's subordinates, all of them are as beautiful as flowers."
"A few great Confucian scholars also came to the door, and brought over the portraits of their granddaughters."
"Look now, and if you are satisfied, stay. Grandpa will arrange your marriage later."
The old man spoke.
very direct.
But Gu Jinnian was a little confused.
marriage?
Good guy, I'm only 16 years old?
Is this tossing about the marriage?
Is this against the rules?
Let me see.
Gu Jinnian didn't refuse, after all, the elders couldn't refuse the gift.
The scroll unfolded.
Gu Jinnian looked over one by one.
how to say.
It's all okay, but it has no internal taste, mainly because the portrait is not interesting at all, such as freckles on the face, or skin color.
Of course, the most important thing is the figure, which can't be seen at all.
After scanning around, Gu Jinnian was not particularly satisfied.
"Grandpa, neither."
He shook his head and directly refused.
"Will not work?"
The old man frowned, but after thinking about it, who is his grandson now?
These crooked melons and split dates are really not good enough.
"That's fine, grandpa will help you find out again, anyway, you have this idea as long as you have this idea."
"I'll ask your uncles to go shopping later to see whose daughter looks good."
The old man is very domineering.
But Gu Jinnian still shook his head.
"Grandpa, grandson is still young, and now he's studying in an academy. In fact, the marriage is a bit too hasty."
"Besides, it's not interesting to just look at the portrait, let's wait until the crown."
Gu Jinnian politely refused.
He really never thought about getting married. As the old saying goes, what exactly does marriage bring to a man?
I'm still young, so there's no need to be anxious, and I'm still the grandson of the Duke, and I'm handsome. Such a good status allowed me to get married so early.
He doesn't do it.
"Wait until the crown is too late."
"Folk people, get married and have children at the age of 16, start a family and start a career early, otherwise the Ministry of Rites will use this matter to criticize you again."
"Wait for your uncle and the others to help you choose."
The old man disagreed.
The so-called starting a family and starting a business is considered an adult when you have a family, and you are a child if you don't have a family.
But it's true that there's no rush, Gu Jinnian is so good, he can wait.
"That's fine, grandpa. Then I'll go back to the academy first. I haven't told Mr. Wen Jing this time. It's not good if I don't go back sooner."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
"Well, grandpa asked someone to prepare a sedan chair for you. Don't worry about the next thing. With grandpa here, it's not your turn."
The old man exhorted.
Gu Jinnian nodded, turned around and left.
Steward Wang went to prepare the sedan chair, while Gu Jinnian went to his mother's place. They met and exchanged pleasantries for a while before leaving.
After Gu Jinnian left.
In the study.
Gu Qianzhou has already walked in.
"Thousand boats."
"Let the sixth man investigate the matter in Jiangning County."
"The mastermind behind the scenes must be in a hurry."
"Check carefully, and you will gain something."
"I want to see who is behind the scenes to harm Jinnian."
sounded.
Old man Gu looked cold.
"My child understands."
Gu Qianzhou nodded, his heart was also full of curiosity and deep killing intent.
As long as he finds any clues and finds out who is plotting against his son secretly, Gu Qianzhou promises to tear his body to pieces.
in this way.
After half an hour.
A secret decree was passed on.
Send it to Jiangning Mansion at the fastest speed.
Less than two hours.
The secret decree of the imperial court was sent to the governor of Jiangning County in a special way.
Get the secret decree.
The sheriff had almost no nonsense, and he had already expected this moment after Jiangning County was pacified.
So everything has been deployed in secret.
In addition, the vision of Kyoto reflects Jiangning County.
He was ready for everything.
Now, as soon as the imperial edict arrives.
Zhang Yang started to act.
"Pass down the official's order to dispatch [-] troops stationed in the river, notify Ye Yihou, send troops to blockade the [-]th mansion in Jiangning, and arrest criminals from all over the place."
Zhang Yang spoke.
Then he personally led the troops and began to search and arrest people from house to house.
for a while.
In Jiangning Mansion, there was an instant boiling.
I saw a large number of officers and soldiers rushing into rice shops, regardless of the three seven twenty-one, and arresting anyone they saw.
When some big businessmen learned that they were so frightened that they didn't even have time to deliver the letter, so they were detained and left.
But the most arrogant one is the Zheng family.
In the mansion.
Three hundred elites rushed into Zheng's house, blocked the escape route, and captured all of them, from Duke Zheng to the servants, leaving no one left.
"You are really bold. Behind me is King Qi Lin. Aren't you afraid of death?"
Zheng Gong's roar sounded.
Holding the king's order in his hand, he wanted to use it to intimidate everyone.
"King Qi Lin?"
"In the hands of this official, it is His Majesty's imperial decree."
"Come here, arrest the criminal and put him in prison, waiting for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to review."
"All family property is sealed up and moved into the government for inventory."
Zhang Yang's figure appeared, holding the imperial edict in his hand, with a cold look on his face.
Looking at the decree.
Zheng Gong's face was ugly, but he finally gritted his teeth and remained silent.
in this way.
In Jiangning Mansion, almost all businessmen, large and small, were arrested.
The businessmen who were not arrested did not lose their conscience in the face of this disaster, so they escaped a catastrophe.
The three great families collapsed in an instant.
He was even forced to sit in a prison van and paraded through the streets.
At this moment, all the people in the city appeared together, carrying some vegetable leaves and throwing them on the prison cart.
But I didn't know that it was the little clever ghost who suddenly appeared and brought buckets of night incense.
"Everyone, don't waste food, don't give these female businessmen a taste of sweetness, I have Ye Xiang here, let me come."
sounded.
Soon buckets of Yexiang were poured out and fell on the group of female businessmen.
Suddenly, an indescribable smell hit.
And the businessmen in the prison van vomited one by one.
The officers and soldiers on both sides were also a little numb.
I have been persuading the people not to throw this thing away.
Can't hold back the anger in the hearts of the people.
What's even more amazing is that when someone saw this, he directly asked his own child to make it easy on the spot, then wrapped it with a cloth, rushed over, and then flung it directly on Zheng Gong's face, steaming.
A group of officers and soldiers were provoked, their faces were pale, and they ran towards the front, but they didn't dare to stand aside.
This is so hateful.
at this time.
Jiangning House.
On an ancient pagoda.
A figure slowly stood in the ancient pagoda.
This is a middle-aged man.
Wearing a Confucian robe, he looks extremely gentle.
Looking at the rows of prison cars, his expression was silent.
abruptly.
Another figure appeared in the ancient pagoda, standing behind him.
"My lord, my lord's plan failed, Lei Ting was furious, and ordered my lord to solve all future troubles, there must be no mistakes."
sounded.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar was slightly silent.
Then he opened his mouth slowly.
"it is good."
He answered.
And the latter spoke again.
"My lord still has a secret order, please check it, sir."
Immediately afterwards, the latter handed over a small bamboo tube to the other party.
The middle-aged Confucian opened the bamboo tube.
Take out a note.
And there were only three words on the note.
