Chapter 233
"Tang Shangshu, you live in a scholarly family and have a high status. You should have never understood the darkness of this world. But I am different. I have lived in the dark quagmire since I was a child. I know that the world has been enlightened for a long time, and I have longed for a peaceful life. "

"I once talked with the queen's younger brother Bai Jingyun by chance. He said that everyone is equal and everyone is free." Gu Wu looked at Tang Jianshan, "That was given to him by the queen, and it is also what the queen hopes, and what I expect."

Hearing Gu Wu's words, Tang Jianshan didn't speak for a long time. In the silence, he asked: "So, you are willing to follow the emperor and queen."

"Yes." Gu Wu looked at Tang Jianshan, showing a gentle smile, "Have you noticed that no matter who the queen treats, she will call herself me instead of me."

Tang Jianshan found out, and once asked Bai Susu in private, but she said that she was not used to calling herself like that, and still liked to call me.

"Yes, the queen is a very good person." It was she who solved the danger in Tangcheng by herself, and made him understand the truth of being an official in the court and protecting the people of a city and the people of a country.

"So, I won't be punished." Gu Wu said with a smile, and blinked his eyes lightly, "Maybe the emperor still wants me to scold those ministers."

Zhou Ximing, who was once again angered by those ministers today, did have this idea.After shooing away those unruly ministers who rushed over to claim Gu Wu's official position, Zhou Ximing left the headache-ridden imperial study and turned to look for Bai Susu.

Bai Susu, who was planting flowers, felt that her waist was imprisoned by a pair of strong arms, and she knew it.Wash off the dirt on your hands with the clear water on the side, and hold his hands, "Are you mad at those ministers again?"

"Yeah." Zhou Ximing bent down slightly, put his head on her shoulders, and thought of those ministers, and felt bored in his heart, "One or two refuted me by saying that they were not in compliance with the rules."

"This is to be strict with others and treat yourself leniently?" Bai Susu concluded with a smile, without mentioning those ministers.

When Zhou Ximing heard Bai Susu's description, the haze in his heart dispelled a lot, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "This description is quite appropriate."

"You didn't tell about Gu Wu's achievements?" Bai Susu asked the doubts again.

If you say it, you can also block the mouths of those ministers.

"Let's keep this matter a secret from those old ministers for the time being, so that they don't have to intervene in dealing with the imprisoned Eagle Clan." Of those people, Zhou Ximing naturally has a decision, and he doesn't want to listen to the quarrels of those ministers.

Bai Susu understood, "Then let Gu Wu go to court and quarrel with those ministers, he can overpower them."

"That's what I mean." Zhou Ximing nodded in agreement, and the unhappiness in his heart dissipated a lot, "It's just a matter of scolding those old ministers for me."

"Guess how he will hate those people?" Bai Susu raised her eyes with curiosity.

"I don't know." Zhou Ximing also knew what he would say, "Why don't you go and listen to it yourself tomorrow?"

"Huh?" Bai Susu looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you say that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?"

"You're fine, I'll put you on the side of the hall, and those people won't be able to see you." Zhou Ximing also wanted Bai Susu to listen to him, tomorrow's exciting.

"it is good."

Gu Wu, who pinned all his hopes, put on his official uniform, began to wash before dawn, and went to the palace to attend the court meeting.

Standing in his own position, guarding himself without any security, quietly let the ministers around him mass him, without any reaction at all.

After the court meeting started, a group of people went in and stood on both sides, Gu Wu's position was in the middle and bottom.

In the position in front of him, a minister walked to the center and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, the number one scholar is only awarded the sixth-rank official position, but the second place is awarded the fifth-rank official position. Is it impolite?"

Zhou Ximing frowned slightly. He didn't expect these people to come up and ask about this. He looked at Gu Wu, "Gu Wu, explain why you are in the fifth-rank official position."

"Yes." Gu Wu responded, walked to the center, and said solemnly, "Because the emperor values ​​the talent of the minister more, and thinks that the minister is so talented that he is humiliated in the sixth and seventh ranks."

"You, you are too arrogant!" The minister snorted coldly, as if he was very angry at Gu Wu's statement.

"Then think about it again." Gu Wu pretended to be thinking hard, and said hesitantly: "That's because the minister is good, and he is a good eye for the court?"

Hearing what Gu Wu said, Bai Susu couldn't help laughing.But if you think about it carefully, apart from Tang Jianli, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all good-looking, except for Zhou Ximing.

"You are disrespectful!" The minister glared angrily, "You are still talking nonsense in front of the Holy One!"

"The emperor hasn't spoken yet, why are you so angry?" Gu Wu looked at him suspiciously, "Could it be that you want to do it for me?"

As soon as these words came out, the minister's face changed instantly, and he immediately knelt on the ground to express his loyalty, "Your Majesty, I don't have such intentions. I am just thinking about Da Zhou and the Emperor. I just suspect that this Gu has no suspicious identity."

"My identity is suspicious?" Gu Wu sneered, "I have records from the children's examination to the palace examination, so how can I say that my identity is suspicious? Are you questioning the ability of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households? You can't find out the suspiciousness of the household registration and the wrongness of the candidates. place?"

If the minister can't say anything, then both the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites will be offended.

Tsk tsk tsk, the combat power is very strong, the minister who was angry was speechless, and suffered a dumb loss.

"Since it's not true, then you might as well tell me why you got this fifth-rank official position?" Hubu Shangshu stood up and looked at him sharply.

Yesterday, Gu Wu thanked the guests behind closed doors, and the doorman also said he didn't see them, obviously not giving them face.There is no need for such a person to stay in the court, even if he is favored by His Majesty.

"Relying on the intelligence of the minister." Gu Wu looked at the Minister of the Household Department, frankly, "Didn't you explain it just now?"

"That should also be done step by step, instead of growing like this!" Hubu Shangshu frowned disapprovingly.

"The Hubu Shangshu wholeheartedly wanted to make his own daughter the queen, so didn't he just pull the seedlings and put them on a kite and send them to the sky?" Gu Wu looked at the Hubu Shangshu.

Bai Susu was surprised, she didn't expect Gu Wu to talk about this matter.

But this matter should have passed long ago, why did Gu Wu suddenly mention this matter?

"If I remember correctly, Hubu Shangshu wants to wait for the princess of the Eagle clan to come over, persuade the emperor to accept the princess, and take advantage of the opportunity to let his own daughter enter the palace." Gu Wumian explained with a smile on his face.

Hubu Shangshu's face immediately changed, he was shocked for a while, how did he know, and for a while he was thinking about countermeasures.

"You spitting blood, do you have evidence?!" Gu Wu sighed regretfully, "When these things are proven, won't they become evidence?"

In a word, all the next plans of Shangshu Hubu were blocked.If he doesn't do it, he will be unwilling, but if he does, he will verify what Gu Wu said now.
