Chapter 861 864. On Reward
Hua Shunming had been paying attention to the court. After hearing the report from Le San, he sat in the palace with a wry smile.
"Gu Wenheng really surprised me. I didn't expect he has so many sides.
I thought that assigning him to a local area to govern was already a way of knowing how to use people well.
I didn't expect that he had this ability. Do you think it would be easier if I summoned him to the capital earlier?"
Especially the newly drafted rules and regulations, the old regulations seem a bit like a joke.
Le San, "..."
"Alas, I am still too greedy. Even at this time, I still want to hold all the good things in my hands.
I hope the emperor can make good use of this good minister.”
When Hua Shunming said this, he coughed violently, and Le San was so scared that he immediately asked someone to summon the imperial physician.

Hua Zhang looked at the re-investigated bills and immediately ordered the Ministry of Revenue to re-examine them, because there were many accounts in it that were hidden too well. If Gu Wenheng hadn't dug them out this time, they would have become a bad debt again in a few years.
Hua Zhang had no extra words to say to those court officials who were dissatisfied. He just asked them to circulate Gu Wenheng's memorial, and these people fell silent.
I even felt a little nervous, afraid that this might have something to do with them.
This person is simply a man who would do nothing but make a big splash if he does. He just arrived in Beijing and he is ready to turn the capital, which has finally been quiet, upside down again.
Gu Wenheng didn't care about the inquiring looks at all. He would have to deal with these people for a long time in the future, and the real beginning would start with the Ministry of Revenue's audit of the accounts.
What Gu Wenheng did was really annoying, especially when all the bad debts were uncovered. Hua Shunming and Hua Zhang were worried about him and secretly sent people to protect him.
Hua Shunming didn't expect that the new emperor would sincerely thank him for this matter.
"Father, this ancient text has the talent to stabilize the country. Thank you for leaving this talent to your son."
Hua Shunming choked in his heart, "..." Although his attitude was sincere, the tone of his voice was very irritating.
If I had known he had such talent and courage, I would have captured him long ago and made him work for me.
But it's not bad, he has helped him govern several places over the years. He can only comfort himself in this way.
"My days are numbered," Hua Shunming raised his hand to stop Hua Zhang's concern, "Although Gu Wenheng's behavior is impatient, it is the most beneficial to the court.
You should give him the greatest convenience in my last days, and it would be best if you could sort out these chaos.
This is also the last thing that Father can do for you."
Hua Shunming said, and fell into self-blame again, "It's all my fault for being careless these years. I thought they were loyal to me because they came out of the mansion with me.
Your Majesty, these are all lessons I have learned from the past. You should be careful with the people you trust the most.
As long as you are alive, you will have concerns and selfishness. Don't let go of everything you have. "
Hua Zhang nodded quickly. Although his father did not admit his mistake, he could hear the self-blame and teaching in his words.
"What about Gu Wenheng??"
Hua Shunming: "It depends on how you strike the right balance with this person, but from what I can see so far, this person has a bottom line and doesn't have such a deep desire for money and power."
Hua Zhang thought that the private vault of his father and son was all thanks to this Lord Gu, and he felt even more satisfied with Gu Wenheng.
But at the same time, he also felt a slight sense of guilt, "Father, Lord Gu gave all the ways to make money to the royal family. I feel guilty."
Hua Shunming looked at the emperor with relief, "You finally thought of it.
Our royal family is not the kind of people who take things by force or by force. I intended to compensate him many years ago, but his influence is insignificant and giving him too much would be a burden.
Now, you can use this opportunity to give him some compensation."
The royal family's compensation is nothing more than a few kinds. Hua Zhang, "Father, do you want to grant him a title?"
Hua Shunming looked at him with a look of disappointment, "It's easy to give a title, but it's hard to take it back. And considering his current achievements, it's too early to talk about giving him a title."
Hua Zhang nodded obediently. What his father said made sense. It would be best to give it to him all at once, otherwise he would not know how to appreciate his achievements later.
"I remember that the royal family still controls several mansions near the imperial palace," Hua Shunming fell into deep thought. He was the second emperor of the Rong Dynasty. The previous emperor had difficulty in having children, and he was the only son. As a result, many princes' mansions near the imperial palace were left vacant.
Although several of his sons were made kings, the new emperor was not happy with these brothers. Except for the second prince who got the prince's palace, the others were treated perfunctorily.
For this reason, the concubines and several princes came to him for help. In order to ensure their safety and enjoy wealth and honor in the future, Hua Shunming took on all of these responsibilities.
Hua Zhang was reminded of this and also thought of the maintenance fees of several princely palaces on the bill this time, and felt a little distressed.
He even felt a little regretful that he should have given these mansions to his other brothers and let them take care of them themselves.
"Father, do you mean to grant the Prince's Palace to Minister Gu?" This was a bit beyond the pale. Although those courtyards were empty, they occupied a large area and were well built.
"Isn't the thing Gu Wenheng gave worth a whole yard?" Hua Shunming was almost amused by his anger. As an emperor, he was a little stingy, but that was also because the national treasury was empty when he took over, and he had finally managed to get some money, so he was extra careful in spending it.
Although the national treasury revenue has decreased in recent years, the private treasury of the father and son is very abundant.
As the hero of all this, if Gu Wenheng is not rewarded, I am afraid that his loyal hearts will be discouraged.
Hua Zhang, "…I am afraid that the court officials will have opinions again."
Only after becoming emperor did Hua Zhang realize the hard work Hua Shunming had endured over the years.
Hua Shunming sighed, "Don't be led by those people. If I had always cared about their thoughts over the years, you should have succeeded to the throne a few years ago."
Between making yourself angry and making others angry to death, Hua Shunming thinks it is an easy choice.
Hua Zhang was silent, "..." Thinking about his father's tough stance in handling state affairs before, he realized something.
Hua Shunming felt that his spirit was not enough again. "Go back and think about it carefully. You are the emperor. As long as you have power in your hands, you have the confidence not to be manipulated by others."
With most of the military power in his hands, Hua Shunming felt that he was already a very successful emperor and had laid a solid foundation for Hua Zhang.
If he cannot govern the world well under such circumstances, then he is incompetent.
Hua Zhang asked Le San and the others to take good care of Gu Wenheng, and he brought his people to the imperial study, and began to think about what reason to use to reward Gu Wenheng.
&
Gu Wenheng has an appointment today to entertain He Nan in a private room exclusively at Tianfu Restaurant.
He Nan was respectful at this moment, "Master Gu, I would like to thank you for your promotion."
Gu Wenheng reached out his hand to help him up, patted his shoulder and said, "We have been brothers for more than ten years, let's not talk about this.
It’s a long journey, so you must be fully prepared for the journey.”
With his help, He Nan was sent to a remote place to serve as a prefect.
Although the location is not good, there is a lot of room for improvement.
