"Did Dingguo Gongfu go well?" Gu Changling took a cup of tea and handed it to the Yang family, and asked casually.
"It's not like that," Mrs Yang took the teacup, smiled at Gu Changling, lowered her head and took a sip, holding it in the palm of her hand and didn't put it down. She turned her head and looked at the daughter who was talking beside her second son. The matter said, "Mrs. Yang is kind and gentle, and their sons and daughters are all well-mannered people."
"People in their family have always been picky when it comes to etiquette," Gu Changling had a good impression of Yang Guogong's family, so there was a bit of admiration in his words, "Although I don't know what the juniors are, but Yang Guogong is a person. , but is a rare righteous gentleman."
"A gentleman is not a gentleman, what's the point?" Yang Shi smiled and turned to Gu Rujiu, "Jiu Jiu, when you get along with the Yang family girl today, are you still harmonious?"
While chatting with Gu Cunjing about some interesting things that happened in the Dragon Guard, when she heard her mother mention her, Gu Rujiu turned around and said, "Miss Yang has a stable temperament and doesn't talk much."
"If you talk too much, you will lose. It's true that a stable person like Miss Yang is good," Yang said with a smile, "but I compare you to it."
"There are thousands of good girls in the world. If I compete with everyone, I'm afraid I won't have the face to stay in the capital." Gu Rujiu smiled at Yang's flattery, "As long as you and your father feel good about me, enough."
"Just me and your father think it's okay," Yang shi smiled again, and he was already used to his daughter's curtsy behavior. "You should be quiet after playing for a day, and go back to the yard."
Gu Rujiu got up and blessed her parents, and then said, "Then I won't disturb my mother and father."
Seeing this, Gu Cunjing also got up to say goodbye and chased out.
"For a long time," Gu Cunjing stopped his sister, "wait for me, I have something to tell you."
"Second brother?" Gu Rujiu stopped and looked at Gu Cunjing suspiciously. Is there anything worth chasing after him
Gu Cunjing talked a few words, and finally brought the topic to the emperor: "I see that Your Majesty always calls you Junior Sister in private?"
"Yes," Gu Rujiu nodded, "what's the matter?"
What else can I do? Why didn't he see His Majesty call him or his eldest brother senior brother
"It's nothing, I saw that Your Majesty seemed to care about you, so I asked casually," Gu Cunjing said with a smile, "I can't ask Your Majesty, so I have to ask you."
"What's so strange, he called me junior sister to give father face. Calling me junior sister is better than calling you and the eldest brother who have already entered the dynasty as officials." Gu Rujiu felt that even if the emperor really treated her now Very good, but when he first called himself a junior sister, a large part of the reason was his father.
Seeing that the younger sister could see clearly and did not misunderstand anything because of the emperor's special treatment, Gu Cunjing also felt relieved, and immediately said, "It is the younger sister who sees clearly, because the brother is stupid."
Gu Rujiu covered the corner of her mouth and laughed lightly: "When did the second brother become so stupid?"
"Hmph," Gu Cunjing put his hands behind his back and swayed away pretending to be angry.
Gu Rujiu looked at his back, and the smile on her face faded after a long time. After returning to the yard, I wondered, why did the second brother suddenly ask about this
Three days later, news suddenly came out from the palace that the emperor's crowning ceremony would be held on the 28th of next month. Because the previous emperor had passed away, the Empress Dowager Zhou replaced his father and arranged the crowning ceremony for the emperor. And because Gu Changling was one of the emperor's most respected gentlemen, and he was quite talented, he attended the emperor's crown ceremony as a Zanbin.
The most subtle thing is that the Sima family can only appear as a guest, and did not play an important role in the emperor's coronation ceremony.
The crown ceremony is an extremely important existence for men. Although ancient celebrities have long said that the emperor should be crowned at twenty, but now the empress dowager and the emperor intend to be crowned in advance, and most of the courtiers have not stood up against it, then this matter will be accomplished, unless the emperor suddenly died during this period or the emperor passed on the throne. Let.
Gu Changling originally only had a leisurely position in the court and the honorary title of Emperor Shi, but soon after the edict about the emperor's crown ceremony was issued, Gu Changling was promoted and became the second-rank minister of the capital's Shangshu Province, although there was no Zhongshu Province. The province of Yumen is prominent, but this is also a signal that Gu Changling has been reused.
The Zhongshu decree of Zhongshu Province was Zhang Zhonghan. Among the provincial servants is Li Guangji, the head of the Li family. One of them is from a poor family, and the other is from an aristocratic family. Politically, it is impossible for them to be the same in everything. However, due to Zhang Zhonghan's soft temperament, Li Guangji does not want to appear too aggressive. , so there is not much conflict between the two.
However, since Gu Changling is reused, it is possible to break the situation in the court. Of course, most of the worried people were officials from poor families, and the aristocratic families seemed much more stable, because Gu Changling was from their aristocratic family.
Most of the time, it's not that the poor family and the aristocratic family dislike each other, it's just that each other is for the interests of the class, so at some point, they can't give in.
The courtiers were well aware of the emperor's ambition after the crown was crowned in advance, but they did not have much opinion on it. Although most of the people in the court have their own thoughts, this does not mean that they are willing to let a faint and incompetent person sit in that position.
Now, since the emperor took the throne, since he has no direct government, no one can see whether he is diligent in government and loves the people, but at least his words and deeds are measured and his character is outstanding, which has already surpassed the previous emperor by a lot. This is enough to make the courtiers very satisfied with him.
The most important thing is that even the empress dowager has no problem with him being crowned in advance. What else can these courtiers say
Therefore, when the imperial edict was issued and the crown ceremony was about to be officially held, no one stood up to express opposition to the emperor's early crowning, but some courtiers wrote to praise the emperor's character and appearance, and some literati also followed suit. Several poems were written to promote the virtues of the emperor, although they did not even know whether the emperor was round or flat.
But this is not important, the important thing is that they expect someone to value their poems so that they can enter the court.
There are many people who have this kind of thinking, and even the Gu family has received many masterpieces of poetry that literati tried their best to squeeze in.
Some of the poems were written so numbly that if you didn't know it, you would think that this was a poem written by a gentleman to his beloved girl, rather than a poem written by an aspiring young man to the emperor.
The literati thought very well. In fact, it is not easy to make a career by means of poetry, unless someone sees this person's talent and is willing to strongly recommend it.
It's a pity that Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it.
Gu Rujiu had already seen that her father had collected a lot of poems and put them in the utility room.
"A talented person does not mean that he has the ability to rule the world and save the people," Gu Changling closed a self-recommendation letter. "A person who can write a good poem may not be able to write a good office article." He folded the letter. , stuffed it into the envelope, and said to her daughter, "For a long time, the queen mother said that she was not feeling well when she came in, and I hope you will come to the palace to accompany her for a few days."
I was listening to my father talk about the politically correct way. How could she know that the other party suddenly turned the topic to the queen mother. She couldn't react for a while, and accompany the queen mother... Is this going to stay in the palace
