Chapter 287: Promotion!
In the city of Kyoto, ordinary people went crazy because of the saying that they could find gold if they traveled west.
In the mysterious court, there was also a quarrel over whether to merge the town into a state.
"No! How could the seven border towns fall into the hands of one person?" The Minister of War was the first to jump out and object.
These seven towns are directly connected to the Minister of War.
If they were unified into states and appointed Gu Nanxi as the governor of the border state, wouldn't it mean that part of his rights as Minister of War would be missing?
Gu Nanxi is not easy to get along with. There is no way she will spit out anything that comes into her mouth.
Chiang Yushi firmly supported Gu Nanxi: "Why not? The general is supposed to command the military defense of the seven towns. Consolidating the towns into prefectures is just the icing on the cake, giving the general more convenience. ”
The Minister of War looked at Jiang Yushi angrily, as if he wanted to eat him alive Peel off: "You said it lightly. If the general has evil intentions and she sits on the border and colludes with the northern border, then you will be the sinner of the entire Zhou Dynasty!"
Jiang Yushi sneered, as if Youyou pointed out: "Even if you rebel, my lord, the general will not betray the country!"
"You!" The Minister of War was trembling with anger.
At this time, other civil servants also stood up: "Jiang Yushi, what you said is too unpleasant. We have to discuss the matter!"
The Minister of the Ministry of War crossed his arms and raised the corners of his mouth, He looked sideways at Chiang Censor.
Unexpectedly, within two seconds of his laughter, he heard the conversation among his colleagues change.
Minister of Household Affairs: "But this is also a good thing. We invest a lot of money in the seven border towns every year, but on the contrary, we cannot collect much tax revenue."
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue looked at the others and suggested: "The county magistrates of the seven towns in the border pass all wrote a letter, saying that as long as they are unified into a state, they are willing to bear the expenses and no longer require subsidies from the court."
The Minister of the Ministry of War, however, Don't believe it: "You have been deceived by them! Don't we still know what the border is like? It's amazing that they can support themselves, let alone support themselves." Soldier! By then, everything is done. He is crying to the court. He is so poor that he can't take the blame. Can we really ignore them?"
The Minister of Hubu's eyes wandered: "But there is a general Gu Nanxi at the border." ! Don’t forget about real estate speculation in Kyoto!”
When reminded by these words, everyone seemed to be reminded of the fear of housing prices in Beijing!
At this time, other people also stood up.
"That's right. The eldest son of the Su family is still staying in Kyoto, the second son of the Su family is still in the Hangzhou Shipyard, and Gu Nanxi's full worth is also in the Central Plains. Who else is more suitable for the post of county guard than her?"
Jiang Yushi glanced at the person who spoke without leaving any trace. This person was the Minister of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment is already old, and the Minister of Punishment is the unofficial candidate.
On weekdays, he always has a straight face. Unless asked, he will not make any statement on the affairs of the court.
Unexpectedly, this time he actually took the initiative to speak for Gu Nanxi, changing the topic from whether to merge the town into a state, to directly jumping to who should be appointed as the county guard.
The Minister of Rites: "General Gu Nanxi has made great achievements, and the Holy Emperor has not yet had time to award him a reward. Why not take the opportunity to reward him?"
Seeing that this matter was about to be concluded, the Minister of the Ministry of War had to vote for Taishi Tong. Looks asking for help.
Master Tong would definitely not want to see Gu Nanxi rise to prominence!
Seeing this, the Imperial Concubine Jijiu who was closest to Grand Master Tong leaned into Grand Master Tong’s ear and whispered: "Sir, Gu Nanxi easily solved the siege at the border. If the Holy One takes this opportunity, Gu Nanxi Transfer back to the court. At that time, Gu Nanxi and Cui San will be in trouble for us. Trouble." "Why not just lock Gu Nanxi up at the border? The Tatars go south every year and suffered a big loss at the hands of Gu Nanxi. This is all because of Gu Nanxi's sneak attack next year. , the Tatars have long been on guard and will not let Gu Nanxi off easily!”
Grand Master Tong still did not express his position, and the Imperial College continued to add fuel to the fire: "As the head of a county, you have to consider all aspects. Gu Nanxi has never been an official in a land, has no experience, and is still short of people. , lack of money. There will inevitably be omissions, and we will take advantage of it when the time comes..."
Guozijian Jijiu lowered his eyes and waited quietly for Taishi Tong's choice.
Actually, the one who least expected Gu Nanxi to return to Kyoto was the Imperial Academy’s wine offering!
At first, he thought that the Yongchang Hou Mansion would be completely destroyed, and that Gu Nanxi would shed her skin even if she did not die, so he took the letter [Spring Goes to Winter] as evidence to falsely accuse Yongchang Hou.
However, in that dead situation, Gu Nanxi was able to make a comeback, which was really surprising!
The Imperial Academy's eyes narrowed slightly while he was drinking wine, and his heart sank a little when he thought of the study that was turned over that night.
Also paying attention to Taishi Tong is the young emperor at the top.
Seeing Taishi Tong’s lips tightly pursed into a slit and his face gloomy, the young emperor suddenly had a choice after hesitating at first!
Compared to Taishi Tong, Sister A is more trustworthy!
"The seven military towns of Woye Town, Huaishuo Town, Fuming Town, Rouyi Town, Huaihuang Town, Yuyi Town, and Wuchuan Town were unified into a state, named Yunzhou! General Gu Nanxi died in the state-owned For his merits, he was made the governor of Yunzhou and took charge of all affairs in Yunzhou! ”
After the young emperor issued the imperial edict, he glanced at Taishi Tong and saw that Taishi Tong's expression became more and more gloomy, and he felt secretly proud in his heart.
Because Grand Master Tong never said a word during the court meeting, the young emperor's imperial edict was successfully conveyed.
The whole Kyoto was shaken.
“How can we merge the town into a state?! The general Gu Nanxi is the governor of Yunzhou?!”
The Fuquan Tea House was boiling like a pot of porridge!
"Sure enough, you can dig for gold if you go west! With such a big change in the border, it must be a big development!"
"No wonder someone else is the richest man, his vision is amazing!"
"Don't you think the Holy lord Do you have too much trust in General Gu Nanxi? He is said to be a governor, but with such great power, what is the difference between being a king? "Some people are so jealous that they lose their minds.
I have to study hard for so many years to be a Hanlin scholar, and I have to give gifts everywhere. Gu Nanxi is just a woman. She just got lucky and won a battle, and she was able to become the governor of a state. !
This is psychologically difficult to balance!
As for why Gu Nanxi didn't have so many sarcastic remarks when he was a general, it was because the Great Zhou Dynasty valued civility over military affairs. No matter how he was a general, he was still a military attaché.
But the governor is different. How many governors were there in the entire Zhou Dynasty? !
Why should Gu Nanxi? !
Song Da rolled his eyes and said angrily: "If you have the ability, you apply to go to the border! You have lived in the days when your mouth is full of wind and sand, and you lick blood on the tip of a knife! If you can't do it, don't say big General."
"That's right! What's more, Yunzhou said he would not ask for subsidies from the court! If you were the governor of Yunzhou, would you be able to do it?"
The man was speechless and ran away in despair.
President Chen and others, who got the news earlier than ordinary people, waited for Su Yunyan at the gate of Yongchang Marquis Mansion early...
