Chapter 636: Appointment
Go to Beijing
Everyone in the court was stunned by an imperial edict issued early in the morning.
Gu Wenheng was unexpectedly appointed as the Censor of Yi Province, directly skipping the third rank and securing the third rank position.
All the officials in the court had complicated feelings. They had been promoted to the top of the court step by step.
Gu Wenheng, on the other hand, skipped levels several times in a row.
"Is it really okay for Gu Wenheng to upgrade levels continuously like this?" As soon as the emperor left, people started gossiping.
"Sir Yu, you have kept this secret really well. Such important news has not leaked out at all." Several ministers gathered around the Minister of Personnel Yu Ligao.
Yu Ligao said, "My Lords, this is an interesting statement. Would you also publicize the internal affairs of your departments?
Besides, His Majesty only asked us to designate the vacant seat, and we just did as we were told.
In my opinion, it is most appropriate for Mr. Gu to be the Censor."
"But no matter what, he can't jump directly to the third rank," Chen Zishu said through gritted teeth, "It's not fair to those officials who have worked in the local government for many years if he continues to be promoted like this."
Cao Xiangqian smiled and said, "This shows that he is capable.
Instead of being jealous, you might as well think about why others can achieve this.
We military generals all know that promotions are gained through military merit. My Lords, don't you know that as long as you have good political achievements that benefit the country and the people, that is also a bright future.
Mr. Gu has the good fortune he has today, and he has paid a lot of tribute.
It is said that you civil servants are smart, it is impossible that you don’t understand this simple truth!
Instead of discussing something that has already been decided here, you might as well go back and think about how you can learn from Master Gu and do more practical things for the people so that His Majesty can also promote you and give you more titles."
"You are talking without any concern," Zhou Shicong had long disliked this old fellow, and now he was lecturing him, without even considering that he, a martial artist, was not worthy of being called such a person.
“As long as you military commanders have some skills and fight a war, you can win military merit.
Governing a place is a real problem. Gu Wenheng was just lucky and was lucky enough to follow General Zhou and get a chance to do something. That's why you're so proud of him. "
"Sir Zhou, you don't know this. Sir Cao followed behind and drank his fill of soup, so naturally he had to say a few good words. Otherwise, he won't take them with him next time when there are benefits." There are always those who can't stand seeing others do well, hiding in the crowd and saying sour words.
Cao Xiangqian was not annoyed, but said cheerfully, "What you said makes sense, and I also think I am lucky.
Being able to save a fortune for future generations is something you can't even envy.
But you guys are really not broad-minded enough. If you are jealous of others getting benefits, then why did you all refuse to take on the responsibility? No one wanted to take over the mess.
People have put in a lot of effort to get the rewards, but everyone is here to make sarcastic remarks.
You don’t think about giving, but only about getting something in return. I don’t know where all the books you’ve read over the years have gone.”
When Cao Xiangqian said this, he offended most of the generals standing beside him, and they consciously surrounded him.
Although these civil officials are only good at fancy moves, Cao Xiangqian is also very old. If he accidentally bumps into them, it would be a slap in the face of the military generals.
The civil servant looked at their posture and cursed them in his heart, "What a reckless man."
A gentleman uses his mouth rather than his fists, so they don't want to get involved with these reckless men.
Cao Xiangqian pushed aside a young general who was blocking his way and said, "Do you think what I said makes sense? You scholars are just not open-minded enough. It would be more comfortable if you could just say whatever you think. Why do you have to keep it to yourself?"
As he said that, he pointed at Zhou Shicong who was glaring at him, "It's bigger than my eyes. Am I afraid of you?"
"Lord Cao, this is in the imperial court, not in your rural village. Don't be like a shrew and curse people everywhere."
Cao Xiangqian, "Did I curse anyone? What word did I curse?"
As he said this, he smiled smugly at the civil officials opposite him, "Don't think you are the only ones who can curse without using dirty words. I don't think I said anything!"
Civil servants: "..."
After hearing Cao Xiangqian's nonsense, no one was in the mood to discuss the matter anymore. Anyway, the imperial edict had already been issued and there was no way to change it.
Someone figured it out, walked around the people in the circle, and left quietly.

Hua Shunming drank hot tea and asked, "Have all those people in the court left?"
Le San, "They have already left."
"Do you really think I don't know that these people are petty again? They themselves have no ability, but they don't allow others to make progress."
Hua Shunming smiled, his deployment in the past two years has begun to show results.
Gu Wenheng has ability and courage, so he will naturally make good use of it.
The positions mentioned by the old ministers in the court were all idle and irrelevant positions.
If such a talent were a little stupid, he might really be buried by these people.
"Lord Gu has met a wise ruler." Le San knew what to say at the right time.
"Was he a wise ruler? That will be told by history." Hua Shunming spoke modestly, but the pride in his eyes could not be concealed.
Now, he is able to control the court. If he can have a few more capable ministers like Gu Wenheng who have their own opinions and ideas, then he may really become a wise ruler in history.
"General Zhou should be here soon, right?"
Le San, "The general who will take over should have arrived. If nothing unexpected happens, he should return to Beijing this month."
"It's only the beginning of the month!" Hua Shunming muttered to himself.
"Your Majesty, General Zhou doesn't have to bring his family with him like Lord Gu and his men. He has to ride fast all the way, so the journey will be much shorter."
Hua Shunming closed his eyes, and Le San didn't dare to say anything. He just stood quietly by his side.

Fu Da, the housekeeper, did not dare to delay the appointment in the court for a moment, and immediately sent someone to rush to Gaoling Village.
As soon as Gu Wenheng received the news, he immediately started packing up and prepared to return to Beijing.
"It seems that the emperor really treats you as a pioneer and reserves the worst position for you."
Jin Qianqian has been in this dynasty for so many years that she has already figured out many geographical locations.
Yi Province now is not like it was in later generations. Many small countries on the border are restless. In addition, the altitude there is high and there are many forests. Even though there are abundant resources, the lives of the people are not very good.
Now he is seeing others envy him for skipping a grade and getting promoted, but this may also be a big problem for Gu Wenheng.
"It doesn't matter. I'm already prepared for this. I just want you and the child to accompany me over there and suffer."
Gu Wenheng bowed towards Jin Qianqian with some apology. If he wanted to climb to a high position as quickly as possible, he had to pay a price.
"You're doing this for our little family," Jin Qianqian didn't care. "Although the journey was a bit tiring, we can still go out for a walk and feel the pristine scenery."
