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

Chapter 987 Promotion
"What? Your Majesty! Why didn't Qian Huichun evacuate the surrounding people after the flood? Could it be that he can't do this well?"

Everyone present was shocked, they couldn't understand why Qian Huichun was so stupid.

"Evacuate? Where are they going to evacuate? More than half of the river embankment collapsed, and the river, like an arrow from the string, rushed for dozens of miles in an instant, submerging all the highlands where they lived. There was no way for them to retreat, and there was no time to retreat! "

The hearts of all the people present felt cold, even though they hadn't seen such a scene, they only had to think of the ruthless river water that took the lives of so many people.Anyone who still has some conscience in their hearts has to feel sad about it.

"This person is too incompetent. How did he become the magistrate of Changtian Mansion? Why was he the only one who suffered such a serious disaster in Changtian Mansion? Could it be that before this, he didn't deploy people to reinforce the river embankment again?"

Dai Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of War, was full of indignation. Such a serious flood had never happened in this dynasty.

"What Master Dai said is very true. As long as there is a breach of the embankment, how can the river embankment be strong? There will be another large-scale collapse. Qian Huichun did not do the first step well, and then he will make mistakes every step of the way. !"

"Your Majesty! I think what Gu Chengyu, a lecturer at the Imperial Academy, is right. Now that Changtian Mansion has already been flooded, can the embankments of other prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River be able to withstand the surging water? This is really worrying!"

Yang Shiqi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was also worried, and he was not optimistic about the stability of the river embankments in other state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River.

"My Majesty, I think that Master Gu has a lot of knowledge about the flood, so why don't you send Gu Chengyu to Jiangnan to handle the matter with full authority."

The prince frowned, the matter had reached the point of no return.It is inevitable that things will become more serious, and we must come up with a solution as soon as possible.

But Gu Chengyu is the only one who can solve the flood problem smoothly now.

"That's exactly what I mean!" How can the emperor care about the battle between courts at this time?The most important thing right now is how to minimize Jiangnan's losses.

"The young one has seen the elder brother of the guard, and the young one wants to ask the elder brother to go to the Hanlin Academy to pass the news. The entourage of Mr. Gu, the lecturer of the Imperial Academy, has something important to report to him."

Ming Mo thought of the flying pigeon in his arms passing the letter, and said eagerly.

My lord had ordered that Jiangnan affairs must be reported to him in time, so he didn't dare to delay.Even if the lord is still working in the Hanlin Academy, he still has to report.

"Little brother, wait a moment, I'll go pass it on right now." The guard didn't dare to neglect, who didn't know that Mr. Gu went to the palace to participate in the discussion last night?
The emperor values ​​Mr. Gu so much, he can't afford to offend him!
"Master Gu! Hurry up, the emperor is calling!"

Gu Chengyu was thinking while walking, now is the time to go to court, what is the reason for the emperor calling so urgently?
Could it be that something happened to Changtian Mansion again?He felt very likely.Because after the river embankment collapses once, even if it is repaired immediately, it will become extremely weak, and it is absolutely possible to collapse again.

Hearing De'an's urging, Gu Chengyu quickened his pace.Looking at De'an, who was already old but still walking like flying, Gu Chengyu felt that his guess was probably right, and the danger in Changtian Mansion was more serious than he imagined.

"Your Majesty! Gu Chengyu has just entered the court for more than two years. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to send him to the south of the Yangtze River to take charge of the overall situation."

Dai Yuanji frowned, which was different from Min Feng before.After all, Min Feng was just a censor patrolling the river, and Hu Maoshen was really in charge.

But what did the emperor mean just now, did he want to send Gu Chengyu to Jiangnan again?In what capacity?Is it an imperial envoy again?

The two imperial envoys went to the south of the Yangtze River. Who should those officials listen to?Is the emperor going to recall Hu Maoshen?

All the officials present had this question in their minds, but only Dai Yuanji dared to raise it at this time.

The emperor's face darkened, "What's wrong? Is there anyone else who can do better than him?" The emperor sneered coldly.

He glanced over these officials, and wherever he looked, everyone bowed their heads in silence.

The emperor snorted coldly in his heart, knowing that this was a hot potato, he was afraid of taking responsibility.

These courtiers are also old, and the court urgently needs young talents with courage and outstanding ability.

It was not enough just to obtain a scholar from Enke last time. The emperor made a decision to restore the previous imperial examination system when the next rural examination begins.

"My minister, Gu Chengyu, sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Gu Chengyu felt that everyone in the hall was looking at him, but he was fearless.In the future, there will be many opportunities to attract attention, so he has to get used to it, right?

Xia Qing's originally ashen complexion completely turned bronze after seeing Gu Chengyu.

De'an was already out of breath when he came here, but seeing so many officials in the hall waiting for Gu Chengyu to see him, he couldn't help but secretly startled!

How capable is it to let these officials above the third rank wait for an official from the fifth rank to discuss matters?How much honor must it be?

"Gu Aiqing, the Changtian Mansion once again burst its embankment, flooding more than ten villages, and the number of casualties so far is less than 8000. In order to prevent another embankment from bursting, I will appoint you as an imperial envoy and leave for Jiangnan immediately."

The emperor eagerly explained the purpose of Xuan Gu Chengyu's visit, but Gu Chengyu's heart sank when he heard this.

It really broke the embankment again, he already had such a premonition, but the seriousness still made him terrified.

Now is not the time for him to take Joe, Gu Chengyu still has this bit of conscience.Besides, after this matter is settled, the emperor should not treat him badly.

He was about to answer, but then the emperor told him another piece of news that surprised him.

"Where is Zhong Shize, Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

Zhong Shize, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, quickly stepped out, "The minister is here!"

"I ordered you to complete Gu Chengyu's promotion card and related official documents immediately, and I promoted him to You Shaoqing of Dali Temple. You should complete it immediately, and there must be no mistakes!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were shocked!

"Your Majesty, You Shaoqing of Dali Temple is an official of the fourth grade, and Gu Chengyu is only from the fifth grade now, and has passed three grades in a row. Not only has this never happened in this dynasty, but it has never been heard of in the previous dynasty!"

Zhong Shize's face darkened slightly. Once such a precedent is set, how will the official department work in the future?

Such a large grade leap is totally against common sense, let alone the laws of this dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhong's words are justified. Such a quick promotion is unreasonable! If it is a precedent, wouldn't the official promotion be messed up in the future? How can the official department be in charge? Besides, the current You Shaoqing of Dali Temple is Tao Junyan , where did the emperor send him?"

Zhong Shize thought that the emperor was so mad by the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, it was simply ridiculous!
Before Xia Qing sought an official position for Min Feng, he was promoted two levels in a row, but he was promoted level by level.

It's just that the interval in between is short, but now that Gu Chengyu has been promoted so quickly, how can others feel embarrassed?

　Thanks to book friend Mu Chuan Mu Zi for the reward!

　　I forgot to post it, it's a bit late!
