Chapter 269
Gu Hanlin interpreted the so-called "nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace" to the extreme.

There must be something to do every time I come to the door, and every time it is not a good thing.

Zhao Shun was secretly alert and led Gu Hanlin to the living room.

"Yuechan, serve tea to Master Gu."

After a greeting, Zhao Shun and Gu Hanlin took their seats.

Xu Shi felt that it was a little awkward to go straight to the point, so Gu Hanlin made a detour as he approached him.

"Hehehe, son-in-law, before we get down to business, I have a question for you."

Zhao Shun arched his hands and said respectfully, "Master Gu, please speak."

Gu Hanlin was stroking his beard, and his back was a little hunched.

"I don't know the six ministries of the imperial court, but you know their respective functions."

Regarding this matter, Zhao Shun knew something about it when he was a child, roughly, but he didn't know the details.

"Know a thing or two."

"Hehe, as an official in the imperial court, it's not enough to know a thing or two. Let the old man guide you today."

Gu Hanlin's tone gradually became more precise, and he naturally assumed the tone of an elder.

Zhao Shun pursed the corners of his lips, and said cooperatively: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your enlightenment."

"Ahem, the six departments of the imperial court, soldiers, officials, households, punishments, workers, and rituals, are like the six pillars of the Liang Kingdom. Each has its own function and is extremely important."

"First of all, let's talk about the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment is the institution in charge of Liang Guo's criminal decrees and review of criminal names. Together with the Procuratorate and Dali Temple, it is in charge of the final trial and review of major cases. It is a "three-law judicial system". This kind of law, review the criminal cases sent to the Ministry of various places, and jointly with the Jiuqing to try the death penalty and cases of "imprisonment" and directly try the cases above the punishment in the Gyeonggi area."

After finishing speaking, Gu Hanlin drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, looked at Zhao Shun and said, "In the future, you will be appointed as the Minister of Criminal Affairs, and you will have many cases to deal with. You must be careful in everything, and be careful not to offend people who should not be offended. You must turn a blind eye to those who are protected by the Prince Regent."

"That's natural." Zhao Shun showed a natural attitude and cupped his fists towards the palace, "Fortunately, the regent is willing to pay attention to him, so he has this third-rank official status. Naturally, he has to do his best for the regent."

Seeing this, Gu Hanlin nodded in satisfaction, and praised: "Your performance in the Golden Luan Hall was really good, I am very happy for you."

Zhao Shun's heart was slightly chilled, and he could feel Gu Hanlin Shi Yuwen's extremely loyal running dog between the lines. If he hadn't taken care of Shen Xian's mother, he would have dealt with this person in the future.

Gu Hanlin was in a good mood, and continued to introduce the other five films eloquently.

"The last department is the Ministry of Officials, which can be said to be the most important department in the imperial court. It is in charge of the promotion and promotion of hundreds of officials in the imperial court. Cai Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, even has the reputation of 'Heavenly Officials'."

Zhao Shun nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, and asked, "Such an important position must belong to the regent king."

"Hehehe, that's natural. There are some things that don't need to be stated clearly. With the current status of the regent, how can the power be left behind?"

As a courtier of Daliang Kingdom, Gu Hanlin didn't even think about setting things right. When he mentioned the regent, he was not ashamed but proud. His attitude was disgusting.

Gu Hanlin never thought how much Zhao Shun hated him, and continued to say to himself: "In the future, you will have to walk around more with the officials. Given time, maybe you can become the chief assistant."

The words were almost finished, Zhao Shun cupped his hands, "I will write it down, I don't know what is the important matter of Mr. Gu coming today."

Gu Hanlin chuckled, "What the old man wants to say is related to the Ministry of Officials."

Zhao Shun, who was the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, couldn't figure out why Gu Hanlin asked him to talk about the Ministry of Officials, so he continued to listen.

Gu Hanlin cleared his throat, and continued: "As I said just now, there will be many assessments at the end of every year for the promotion of officials in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. At the beginning of this year, an old man in the cabinet retired and returned home, so this year there will be one person vacant in the cabinet. .”

Having said that, Zhao Shun understood what Gu Hanlin was up to. This old guy actually wanted to enter the cabinet.

Zhao Shun knew that someone had to be elected to enter the cabinet. When he was a child, he had seen people visit Taifu Zhao many times to discuss the matter of selection.

"Master Gu wants you to be elected by me, right?"

"Business is business, what do you think grandson-in-law wants?"

Gu Hanlin's eyes lit up, Zhao Shun actually knew about the selection, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Men naturally don't want Gu Hanlin to join the cabinet. This place is the power center of the country. If a person like Gu Hanlin enters, he will only enrich himself and not benefit the people.

"Master Gu, I have just stepped into the officialdom, and my language is light. I'm afraid that my vote won't mean much."

Gu Hanlin waved his hands quickly when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I will take care of this matter, and you can just vote."

Speaking of this, it is not easy for Zhao Shunming to refuse on the surface, as long as he agrees temporarily.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I understand what you mean."

"Okay, my grandson-in-law is so open-minded, I am so relieved!"

Gu Hanlin was overjoyed and exchanged pleasantries for a long time before getting up and leaving.

After Gu Hanlin left, Liu Qing came out from the side room.

"Brother Zhao, do you really want to help this person?"

Zhao Shun was silent, and said slowly: "I intend to get rid of him, but my wife is related to him, how this matter works depends on her will."

Liu Qing nodded slowly. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and it is really not easy to do everything according to the heart.

Outside the gate, the maid sent by Gu Fangman hesitated for a long time at the gate, and when she saw Gu Hanlin coming out and getting into the carriage, her eyes rolled round.

Although Gu Fangman didn't have a plan in her heart, the maid knew that if she sent a letter to Zhuangyuan Lang under the name of Gu Fangman, the matter would probably not be able to be done.

However, it might not be impossible to invite Zhao Shun out under Gu Hanlin's name. As for the final result, the servant girl can't care about it.

Not long after, a letter was sent to the Zhao residence.

The old housekeeper delivered the letter to Zhao Shun, and then said: "The person who delivered the letter said that Master Gu asked her to send it."

Zhao Shun was taken aback after hearing this, Gu Hanlin?Didn't he just leave?Why did you send the letter again.

Looking sideways at the envelope, Zhao Shun shook it open, it turned out that Gu Hanlin invited him to Zuiyun Tower for dinner at night.

After reading the letter, Zhao Shun didn't doubt it, he only thought that Gu Hanlin was trying to win him over.

Just when Zhao Shun was thinking about whether to go or not, Shen Xian came back from outside with an unhappy expression on his face.

Shen Xian, who was always lively, was in a low mood today, Liu Qing could tell at a glance that something was wrong, and even if he got up and ran away, he was very discerning and never made light bulbs.

Zhao Shun also saw that something was wrong, and asked worriedly: "Lady, what's wrong with you?"
