"Gu Gong wants to go to the Military Academy? Did he say that himself?"

In Chang'an Palace, Pei Man sat motionless.

Because Gu Cheng had to observe mourning for the old lady Wei, Hu, who was his wife, also had to observe mourning.

Hu was in mourning and could not enter the palace, so she could only entrust the matter to Pei Man.

Pei Man spoke frankly, "I don't know if Gu Gong said this himself. Sister-in-law Hu said that in Gu Gong's current situation, it's not a good idea for him to stay in the mansion for a long time. I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that he'll get sick if he stays there for too long."

After a pause, she continued, "A few days ago, my father-in-law was clamoring for a drink and started a quarrel with Gu Gong. Gu Gong was annoyed by the noise and took a machete to chop up the courtyard where my father-in-law lived. I heard from my sister-in-law Hu that my father-in-law was so scared that his face turned pale and he didn't dare to say a word in front of Gu Gong."

Gu Jiu understood, "Gu Cheng is worried that something will happen next time that will irritate Gu Gong, and since he's not at home, someone might die."

"That's what Sister Hu said. Judging from Gu Gong's situation, who knows, he might pick up a knife and attack someone one day." Pei Man was also frightened.

Gu Jiu casually asked, "What's Gu Gong's current situation? Does sister-in-law know?"

Pei Man said, "I went to the mansion over there and took a look. Gu Gong was gloomy and rarely went out. He had changed a lot since I first met him."

“I can’t stay at home!”

Gu Jiu knew it very well. In Gu Gong's situation, it seemed like a good thing that he didn't go out and cause discussion.

But if you stay at home for a long time, you will become more and more gloomy, pessimistic, and desperate. Even the slightest stimulation may drive you to extremes.

With Gu Gong's combat effectiveness gained from years of military service, it wouldn't just be a matter of one or two people dying, it would be possible for a whole group of people to die.

Gu Jiu tapped the table lightly, considering the matter.

Pei Man didn't worry about it, she was responsible for delivering the message. She couldn't guarantee whether the matter would succeed or not.

Gu Jiu said, "Gu Gong can go to the military academy to be an instructor. But I have to make sure he won't hurt anyone."

Pei Man hurriedly asked, "How do you want to be sure, Madam?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Let the imperial physician examine him."

Pei Man completed the task successfully and left the palace happily.

Two days later, Bai Zhong brought the imperial physician to Gu's house to examine Gu Gong.

Doctor Xiao Hu was trained personally by Gu Jiu. In addition to checking Gu Gong's physical condition, it was more important to check his mental state.

Gu Cheng personally came out to greet Bai Zhong.

He also ordered someone to call Gu Gong out.

Gu Gong did not resist and came to the flower hall.

But he had a strange temper. He stood at the door, rude and silent, with a gloomy look in his eyes, which was really creepy.

The imperial physician felt a little frightened.

Will Gu Gong cooperate with his examination?

Bai Zhong had a smile on his face.

With his experience, he has seen many people like Gu Gong, and they can't scare him at all.

When it comes to cruelty, who can compare to Qian Xiang, the left guard of the Jinwu Guard?

By the way, last year Wei Zhong, the left guard of the Jinwu Guard, abdicated and Qian Xiang successfully took over Wei Zhong’s position.

Since Qian Xiang took office, he has handled countless major cases and his hands are stained with countless blood.

In terms of viciousness, there is probably no one in the whole capital who can match him.

Bai Zhong called out to Gu Gong, "General Gu, won't you take a seat?"

Gu Gong still holds the official rank of a fourth-rank military officer, so it is appropriate to call him General Gu.

Gu Gong shook his head. "Didn't you say we should check? Can we start now?"

Bai Zhong laughed and said, "It seems that General Gu is very anxious. Doctor Hu, please go to the next room to examine General Gu."

Doctor Hu bowed and accepted the order, "General Gu, please!"

Gu Gong glanced at Bai Zhong and walked away.

Gu Cheng was worried and wanted to give him some advice, but he was afraid that it would backfire if he provoked him. He didn't say a word until Gu Gong left.

"Eunuch Bai, if Gu Gong fails the examination, will he not be able to go to the military academy?" Gu Yan was also worried.

Among the brothers and sisters, only Gu Yan has the mentality of a mother, worrying about others all day long.

The other brothers and sisters all take care of their own business and take care of their own business.

In the Gu family, there is only the second branch, and the relationship between brothers and sisters is very cold.

On the eldest wife's side, the brothers lived in harmony.

The brothers and sisters in the Marquis' Mansion are also very harmonious.

All this was Gu Zhili's fault.

Bai Zhong laughed heartily. "Don't worry, Lord Gu. Even if General Gu fails the examination, it won't affect his admission to the Military Academy. It's just that his assignment might be changed. As you know, the Military Academy handles weapons every day, so accidents are very likely to happen. As an instructor, one must be firm and steadfast, and avoid violent or extreme behaviors."

Gu Cheng nodded repeatedly, "Eunuch Bai is right. If Gu Gong fails the examination, what kind of job can he take on?"

Bai Zhong shook his head. "My family doesn't know anything about the Military Academy. Lord Gu is such a good brother. He's worried sick about General Gu."

Gu Cheng smiled bitterly, "He's in this situation now, I can't just watch him become decadent."

Gu Gong lost a hand, but he said he didn't care. Seeing him staying in the room and not going out, is that an attitude of indifference?

As a soldier, he should care more than anyone else.

But he doesn't say it, nor does he vent.

If you hold it in for a long time, you might actually become a psychopath.

Bai Zhong nodded repeatedly, "Master Gu is thoughtful!"

"Brother is not in the capital, these are what I should do."

As the eldest son, Gu Ting should have shouldered the heavy burden.

However, Gu Ting went to the south to train troops.

Except for Gu Rong, all the children of the Gu family, whether born out of wedlock or legitimate, are very self-centered.

The two chatted casually, and Doctor Hu had already got the results.

He came out carrying a medicine box and reminded Gu Gong to take care of himself.

Bai Zhong stood up and said, "The inspection is complete, and it's time for us to return to the palace to report. Goodbye!"

"I'll see Eunuch Bai out."

Gu Yan personally escorted the person out.

When he returned to the flower hall, Gu Gong was still standing there.

He stepped forward and patted Gu Gong on the shoulder. "It's settled. You can go to the Military Academy to serve no matter what. Did Doctor Xiao Hu tell you the results of the examination?"

Gu Gong shook his head, "I thought she hated us and wouldn't give me a chance."

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that the "she" Gu Gong was referring to was the Queen.

"I told you a long time ago that the Queen doesn't hate us."

"I believe it now." Gu Gong said, turned and left.

…

Doctor Xiao Hu told Gu Jiu that Gu Gong was in good health and had been exercising regularly.

As for the mental aspect, it is certain that he is very depressed.

Moreover, Doctor Hu said that he was not well-educated and could not see clearly.

Gu Jiu said, "Since Gu Gong is in good health, let him report to the Duke of Zhuguo in three days. Let the Duke of Zhuguo arrange a task for him."

When Zhuguogong met Gu Gong, he had no prejudice at all.

There are many cases like Gu Gong's in the military camp.

With a wave of his hand, he appointed Gu Gong as the supervisor to oversee the construction of the college and prevent the Ministry of Works from cutting corners.

The Ministry of Industry undertook the construction of the Military Academy, and cutting corners was a common practice of the Ministry of Industry.

The Duke of Zhuguo and the Ministry of Works have had several conflicts, and he is very annoyed.

Just let Gu Gong go and fight with the Ministry of Works.

After all, Gu Gong is the Queen's brother, so he has enough capital to fight with her.

Gu Gong lived up to everyone's expectations and indeed started a fight with the officials of the Ministry of Works.

In a rage, he smashed the signing room set up by the Ministry of Works at the construction site, which made the officials of the Ministry of Works so angry that they screamed and threatened to report Gu Gong.

The Duke of Zhuguo laughed heartily, feeling very happy.

Patting Gu Gong on the shoulder, he said, "Well done! We should teach those officials from the Ministry of Industry a lesson."

Although both were so angry that they smashed houses, the attitudes of military generals and civil officials were completely opposite.

Gu Yan was worried to death.

However, Duke Zhuguo encouraged Gu Gong to continue doing so.

…

Liu Zhao sent someone to bring half a basket of memorials to the Chang'an Palace.

Gu Jiu took a curious look and asked, "What's in the basket?"

Liu Zhao lay down on the couch, completely losing his imperial image.

He kicked the basket. "If I remember correctly, Gu Gong has been working at the Military Academy for less than twenty days. Look, it's all impeachment memorials against him."

Gu Jiu picked up a memorial and opened it to take a look.

The censors used harsh words as usual, and in their writings, Gu Gong became an unforgivable person.

"He actually smashed the signing room of the Ministry of Industry."

"That old bastard, the Duke of Zhuguo, even said it was a good smash."

Gu Jiu threw the memorial aside and asked Liu Zhao, "What are you going to do?"

"I'll do as you say." Liu Zhao smiled and looked harmless.

Gu Jiu thought for a moment and said, "It's not worth it. Shouldn't we give the Ministry of Industry a hard time? Isn't holding shares in Universal Transport enough to satisfy my appetite?"

"Who would complain about having too much money? With so many mouths to feed in the Ministry of Works, cutting corners in construction has become an established rule." Liu Zhao sometimes felt helpless about this.

This kind of thing cannot be stopped by chopping off a few heads.

Gu Jiu said, "This time, it's because of your face that I agreed to hand over the project to the Ministry of Works. If the Ministry of Works continues to mess around, I will have no choice but to let the Ministry of Finance take over."

The Shaofu also had a department responsible for construction, and the technology was superb.

If it weren't for the constant noise in the Ministry of Works, saying that the Shaofu had taken their jobs and causing a lot of gossip, Gu Ji really didn't want to bother with those people in the Ministry of Works.

Liu Zhao agreed, "Don't worry, I will definitely punish the people in the Ministry of Works. Regardless of whether they follow the implicit or explicit rules, if they dare to embezzle my money, I will make them pay for it."

As soon as these words were spoken, a number of officials in the Ministry of Works lost their jobs.

The group of Jinshi scholars waiting for vacancies in the Ministry of Personnel cheered in private.

One carrot, one hole.

The Ministry of Industry underwent a reshuffle, and suddenly there were more than ten or twenty vacancies.

Good thing!

Going to work in the Ministry of Industry, great!

For a time, the civil service department was packed with people who were all Jinshi scholars who had used connections and favors to get in through the back door.

Everyone showed their magical powers.

Whether you can get a job in the Ministry of Industry depends entirely on your ability.

A month later, the matter was settled.

Shanhe Academy became the biggest winner.

A quarter of the officials who filled vacancies graduated from Shanhe Academy.

MMP!

Shanhe Academy has really become a big deal, and people can form a group to get official positions.

In a few years, will the court be full of people from Shanhe Academy?

Because of this incident, the censors started to make a fuss again and impeached the Ministry of Personnel for nepotism.

“…”

The Ministry of Personnel really wanted to curse.

The Censorate must have nothing better to do.
