The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 952 Monitoring the Prince
When the crown prince becomes powerful, even if the emperor does not abdicate to let the virtuous, the imperial power will be emptied.

Perhaps every aging emperor would have such concerns, and the older he was, the more such concerns would become, and his actions would become more and more absurd.

Because they are used to being in power, if they lose their power one day, they will be in pain.

"Zhan Shi's mansion is to assist and train the prince, so it is not impossible to join the cabinet. If you get the prince's attention, you will get high-ranking officials and rich salary at your fingertips in the future, why don't you want to?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled deeply.

Logically speaking, having the opportunity to get close to the crown prince would just pave the way for his success in the future?

If the crown prince valued Gu Chengyu, why would Gu Chengyu worry about not having a good future when the crown prince ascends the throne?
Besides, the officials who entered Zhan Shifu have almost already stepped into the cabinet, which is a shortcut to step into the cabinet.

The emperor was a little surprised that Gu Chengyu would refuse.

Could it be that Gu Chengyu is really a pure minister, in order not to let himself be misunderstood, he refused this matter so firmly?
In fact, how can Gu Chengyu not be tempted?But doesn't it depend on the emperor's will whether to enter the cabinet or not?

The emperor won't let you in, so what can you do?

Besides, there will be more opportunities in the future, so he doesn't need to pick up this hot potato.He has just been promoted, and he still wants to keep a low profile for a while!

He can't get all the benefits by himself, can he?There are many people who suffer from pink eye in the ruling and opposition parties!
Although he is not afraid, it is not good to be too high-profile.

Gu Chengyu is more inclined to use his political achievements to speak, as long as he has the ability, it will be a matter of time before he enters the cabinet.

Unless the new emperor doesn't like him, he just doesn't want to use him.Or he made a big mistake and was expelled from the center of power.

"My Majesty, the Hanlin Academy is busy with affairs, and the new official has just taken office. There are still many affairs that have not been sorted out. I am afraid that I will not have the energy to be competent for the official position in the Zhan Shifu."

Gu Chengyu almost wanted to roll his eyes, but actually he wanted to say, he is very busy, how can he have time to sort out those common affairs?
He is still young, and still has a good time. Every day he returns home late from his errand in the Imperial Academy. Where does he have the time to enjoy a good life?

He didn't want to be an old pedant, two o'clock and one line every day, how boring such a life would be!

"Besides, Weichen is only a servant of a bachelor's degree. The Chancellor of Zhan Shifu should give priority to choosing a servant of a bachelor's degree. Your majesty, you ordered a Weichen. This is not in line with common sense, and it is not in line with the court system!"

Gu Chengyu looked puzzled, the emperor always liked to go around in circles unconsciously when speaking, and he had to ask questions first before he continued.

Now it's time to leave his job on weekdays. He is a young man, and he is so hungry that he won't eat a meal. Can you let him go home for dinner earlier?

"I am the Son of Heaven, just a small Chancellor of Zhan Shi's Mansion. Could it be that I don't have this right? I don't think anyone in this court dares to question it?"

The emperor curled his lips in disdain, and was also dissatisfied with Gu Chengyu's pushback.

Knowing that no benefits will be given, Gu Chengyu will definitely not be obedient.

The most important thing is that what he wants to do has to be done by Gu Chengyu himself, and only Gu Chengyu is the most suitable for the ruling and opposition parties.

Firstly, Gu Chengyu is capable, so the crown prince will definitely be satisfied with Gu Chengyu being chosen as the Chancellor of Zhan Shifu.

Second, compared to other officials, the emperor still has some trust in Gu Chengyu.

Of course, it is impossible for him to be completely at ease with Gu Chengyu, so he still has other ways to control him.

This is the benefit he promised to Gu Chengyu later, and he was sure that Gu Chengyu could not refuse, let alone refuse.

In terms of calculations, Gu Chengyu is still a little too tender in front of him.

"Although the Prime Minister of Zhan Shi's Mansion is only the sixth grade, but you are concurrently serving, there is no conflict at all. Moreover, Qiu Yixue, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, has just taken office not long ago, and he hasn't even figured out his own one-third of an acre of land. How can you rest assured that he will be in charge?"

The emperor glanced at Gu Chengyu, and said earnestly.

Gu Chengyu slandered, this Qiu Yixue is a new official, so is he an old official?
After all, he still stayed in the Imperial Academy for many years, what about him?He is a rookie who just stepped into the officialdom this year.

Besides, the post of Chancellor of Zhan Shifu is in charge of general affairs of the East Palace, and the task is heavy.Compared with the affairs of the Imperial Academy, it is even worse.

He really doesn't have that much energy to do concurrently. Although he is more than capable of handling the affairs of the Imperial Academy, it doesn't mean that he wants to turn himself into a desperate Saburo.

Besides, if he stayed at the Hanlin Academy on weekdays, he would not be able to take care of Zhan Shifu's affairs.

In addition, in the previous dynasty, there were also children of Xungui's family who served as the Chancellor of Zhan Shifu, and they were still full-time.Of course, in the end, it is natural that you cannot enter the cabinet.

After all, he was only helping the prince in managing general affairs, and he was not from the Imperial Academy, so he was not qualified to enter the cabinet.

"The crown prince is already weak, and there are many people around him to help with general affairs. You are just hanging up a vain job!"

"Your Majesty! There was a noble son Ren in the previous dynasty."

Gu Chengyu still wanted to fight, but he didn't want the emperor to interrupt him impatiently.

"There is not only one person in the position of Fucheng. I selected an official from the Hanlin Academy to transfer to Zhan Shifu to serve as the Fucheng. You are only part-time, and you are still working in the Imperial Academy on weekdays, but you have to take care of the general affairs of the East Palace from time to time. So, you shouldn't be able to shirk anymore, right?"

The emperor also knew that the Hanlin Academy had a lot of affairs, if only Gu Chengyu was in charge, it would be a bit difficult for others.

Gu Chengyu had an idea, the emperor had said so much, he might not be allowed to refuse.

But why does the emperor care so much about the post of Fu Cheng?Could it be that he wanted him to monitor the prince?
The more Gu Chengyu thought about it, the more likely he felt it was possible, and at the same time he felt that the candidate for Fucheng might also be an old acquaintance.

In order to restrain each other with him, the two can monitor each other.

And this person must not be an official of the same line as the prince, otherwise how can the emperor rest assured?
It's true that one step counts as a hundred steps. No wonder the emperor was able to sit on this dragon chair when the first emperor didn't like it.

It has to be said that the emperor is still a king with outstanding abilities.

It's a pity that so much effort was not spent on expanding the territory and defending against foreign enemies, but on calculating his own son and courtiers, which is simply overkill.

The emperor said that the most suitable candidate was Qiu Yifan, who used to be a errand in the house. This person is just right, because Qiu Yifan is the son-in-law of Bian Shengrong, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Who is Bian Shengrong?Great Prince!Isn't this just the right way to monitor the prince?

Besides, this person's rank is lower than his own, so it is naturally impossible to assign himself to do things.Not only that, but if you have any doubts, you have to ask yourself.

This naturally achieved the ultimate goal of the emperor, so that Gu Chengyu could report the prince's movements to the emperor from time to time.

"I don't know who the emperor wants to be the prime minister?" Gu Chengyu didn't answer directly, but raised his own question.

The emperor didn't care either. In his opinion, as long as he opened his mouth, Gu Chengyu could only agree in the end.
