The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

What did you do before?

Liu Sandao asked, "Sir, do you mean before they were imprisoned?"

"Yes, what were they doing before they were convicted?"

"That's not clear."

Liu Sandao said, "That all happened two years ago. I was the jailer, so I wasn't very familiar with the affairs of the court. But when they were detained in the Inner Guards' Jail, I saw that they... didn't look like bad people! They definitely wouldn't commit murder!"

"Is that so?"

Gu Jingzhi tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously, looking thoughtful! The people beside him looked at him, feeling a little strange.

Especially the two brothers Lin Chong, they had been separated from Gu Jingzhi for less than a cup of tea.

"Jingzhi, what happened?"

"what?"

Gu Jingzhi suddenly woke up, then smiled and said, "Nothing, I just feel a little strange. After all, two high-ranking officials in the court were dismissed at once. Isn't this just to understand and learn from it?"

Lin Chong nodded when he heard this, but Liu Sandao and Lin Feng felt that things were not as simple as Gu Jingzhi said.

However, since Gu Jingzhi didn't mention it at the moment, they didn't dare to ask more questions.

"Brother Liu, are the other brothers here?"

Gu Jingzhi changed the subject, and Liu Sandao quickly said, "It seems the time is almost up. How about I go out and pick them up?"

"Alright!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded, then looked at Lin Chong and the others: "Let's get ready too. Let's have some drinks together when the people arrive!"

……

The next day, Gu Jingzhi was woken up while he was still asleep. When he opened his eyes, it was Tao'er.

"Master, you should get up now. The court meeting will start soon!"

"Go to court?"

Gu Jingzhi was a little confused. Seeing Tao'er nodding doubtfully, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have reached the fifth rank and was qualified to attend court.

Seeing that Tao'er and Jian'er had already prepared all the necessary toiletries, I secretly sighed...

What an evil feudal society!

It’s so damn good…

Gu Jingzhi jumped out of bed, stretched himself, and without paying any attention to the maids who were looking at each other in confusion, he went straight to wash up.

Tao'er and Jian'er stood aside, not daring to say anything or ask anything.

Not long after, Gu Jingzhi finished washing up and looked at the two women holding his official robe. The robe was bright red and the texture looked particularly different.

After another round of tossing and turning, he looked in the mirror wearing a bright red official robe, and he looked more handsome than in the green one.

"This red official robe looks like a groom!" Gu Jingzhi muttered softly.

Upon hearing this, Jian'er helped him straighten the wrinkles on his official robe while pursing her lips and smiling, "Master, you look particularly energetic and handsome in this outfit. If you go out in this outfit, I'm afraid the girls on the streets will be dazzled by your eyes!"

After all, she was a woman who had been a courtesan, so her words were particularly pleasant to the ears.

Unlike Tao'er, she looks a little silly.

"Okay, there's nothing to do here, you guys go down and catch up on some sleep!"

Catching up on sleep?

The two women were stunned when they heard this.

Gu Jingzhi asked doubtfully, "Are you curious? It's just dawn, why don't you go back to sleep?"

As he spoke, he felt somewhat puzzled. In the past, when he was not qualified to attend court, he did not have to get up so early. He just had to report to the yamen on time.

Now that he has become a high-ranking official, he has to get up early in the morning to attend court sessions.

After a quick breakfast, he went out again. He saw a carriage ready outside the mansion gate. Xiao Wu was standing by waiting. Gu Jingzhi waved his hand and said, "Alright, take the carriage back! I can walk to the court by myself!"

It’s not that he is pretentious, but this house is simply too close to the imperial palace, so it wouldn’t be that troublesome to walk there by himself.

……

There was nothing else to discuss at today's court meeting except the issue of transferring officials from northern prefectures and counties.

The Crown Prince had already received instructions from Emperor Xia, and the father and son performed a duet in the court, and finally decided that a group of officials from the Hanlin Academy would go to the north to serve as prefects and county magistrates, and then other states and counties would draw officials to assist them.

The vacant positions are still filled by people sent from within and outside the Hanlin Academy.

After this happened, the originally bustling Hanlin Academy suddenly became much quieter.

Song Pu, who originally wanted to reap the benefits, looked grim when he saw the father and son acting together.

It would have been fine if he hadn't gained any advantage in the Three Kingdoms negotiations, but when he was assigned as an official abroad, he, the prime minister in charge of six ministries, didn't even get an important position.

He already knew in his heart that Emperor Xia's fear of him had reached a critical point.

If he continues to so wantonly place his own students and former officials in positions of power, I'm afraid we will have to go to war directly with Emperor Xia.

……

After leaving court, Gu Jingzhi moved his body a little uncomfortably.

This damn court session is so boring. Although he is now qualified to attend court sessions due to his current rank, he plays an insignificant role in the court and basically never gets a chance to speak.

Just as he was thinking of asking someone how to get to the Honglu Temple, someone suddenly called out from behind him, "Master Gu, Master Gu..."

Ok?

Gu Jingzhi turned around and saw the person coming. A smile immediately appeared on his face: "It turns out to be Lord Li!"

"Oh my! I was looking for you, Master Gu, right after leaving the court. I didn't expect you to come out first!"

Gu Jingzhi was immediately puzzled when he heard this: "Why didn't I see you, Lord Li, at the court meeting just now?"

Li Gefei is also the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. Logically, they should stand together!

Li Gefei smiled and said, "It's all thanks to you, Master Gu, that I have been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

Yo ho!

My immediate boss!

Gu Jingzhi immediately greeted him with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Li. I was wondering when we would meet again, but I didn't expect that you would become my immediate superior now!"

"Ouch!"

Li Gefei immediately helped him up: "Master Gu, you are too polite. If it weren't for your success in this negotiation, I, Li, would never have been able to move up in this position!"

Gu Jingzhi just smiled and said, "It's not my own fault that I facilitated the negotiations between the two countries. Sir Li, you are too kind to me!"

"Ha ha!"

Li Gefei smiled and said, "You are not flattering me at all. Lord Gu has recovered the five states. Not only me, but I am afraid that the entire Hanlin Academy will be grateful to Lord Gu for his kindness!"

"Excuse me! We are all relying on the great power of the Great Xia and the kindness of His Majesty! We are just doing it for the sake of convenience!"

"Haha! Yes, yes!"

Li Gefei laughed heartily, then asked, "Master Gu, are you going to the Honglu Temple to get some connections?"

"That's right. I originally thought that I would go to visit my superiors and colleagues after the court session, but I didn't expect that my superior, Lord Li, would be right in front of me!"

"Haha! In that case, I, Li, will guide you, Master Gu, for a while today!"

The two chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived at the Honglu Temple Yamen. After Li Gefei accompanied him to meet his colleagues, he pulled Gu Jingzhi aside to chat for a while.

After making an appointment for a banquet in the evening, Gu Jingzhi hurried to the Hanlin Academy.

Firstly, it was to say goodbye to all the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, and secondly... perhaps Kou Zhengru, his former superior, would know some things better.
