Fantasy: Starting out as a gigolo, born a Confucian sage

After Ye Qingcheng and others left the imperial study, the Imperial Academy Master and Han Changli, who had been waiting outside, walked in.

"Your Majesty!"

The two bowed respectfully to the young empress above, and Emperor Jiayou pointed to the chair in front of them.

"Sit down and talk."

After the two sat down, Emperor Jiayou pointed to the confession that Ye Qingcheng had just placed on the table.

"You must all know what happened on the Yongding River. Tell me what you think."

The Imperial Academy Master laughed, picked up the confession and read it, then shook his head, "Some people are too impatient."

"Yes."

Han Changli took it and read it, and also sighed.

"Whether it is conservative or reform, it is not up to the people below, but depends on your Majesty alone!"

"It can change or not, but it is not their turn to decide between change and not changing."

"That's what I said." Emperor Jiayou sneered, "But when did they listen to me?"

The Imperial Academy Master and Han Changli were silent. The empress's words were a bit heartbreaking.

But that was the fact.

The four great clans and the seven holy sects are all powerful forces with eight-level masters in charge.

Even the emperor dared not act rashly.

"Didn't the Tianshi Dao come? From the looks of them, it seems that they want to get closer to the court."

"If we win them over, even if they can't be driven by the court, at least they can remain neutral."

The head of the Imperial Academy considered.

"Hehe... Let's talk about this slowly."

The Jiayou Emperor smiled meaningfully, and then pointed to the confession in Han Changli's hand.

"Did you see that guy named Shen Wuming? It's quite interesting. He seems to be from your Confucian school, right?"

"Yes."

Han Changli nodded, "This year's Dingzhou Jieyuan, the first talent in Zhongshan, but he is not just a Confucian."

"The previous cement manufacturing technique, oyster bridge construction technique and dust explosion principle were all invented by him."

He did not mention the buoyancy test for gold. After all, that thing is beneficial to the princes, but the empress may not like it.

"He is very good." The Jiayou Emperor commented truthfully.

"Not to mention talent, just having so many things without keeping them privately is enough for all the ministers to learn for a lifetime."

The head of the Imperial Academy and Han Changli also nodded repeatedly, worthy of being a pure gentleman who could ascend to the fifth floor of the Confucian Temple.

This point is very Confucian!

Whether or not to practice the righteous spirit is not necessarily that important.

After all, benefiting the country and the people is the true implementation of the original intention of Confucianism.

"Draft an imperial edict, saying that Shen Wuming, the champion of Dingzhou, is very talented and has made great contributions to the court!"

"Confer the title of Yong'an County Master, and grant a top-grade magic weapon and a thousand taels of silver!"

...

Shen Wuming did not expect that the court would react so quickly.

Only on the third day after he returned to Zhongshan County, the people of Tiance Mansion took Ma Taishou away.

Zhao Juncheng, who had been working hard for many years, thought that spring had come and was eagerly looking forward to the opportunity of promotion.

Unexpectedly, Sun Qun, the newly appointed Zhongshan Taishou, arrived at the Tiance Mansion at the same time.

Sun Qun was originally a secretary in the capital, with a low rank, but he worked in the central government of the court.

He was responsible for handling memorials from court officials and ministers, or reviewing local affairs.

In short, he was one of the emperor's secretaries!

With the appointment of Sun Taishou, the officialdom of Zhongshan County became more subtle.

After all, everyone thought that Zhao Juncheng would take the opportunity to be promoted, and even sent gifts and used connections in advance.

But they didn't expect that a fierce dragon from across the river would come.

Moreover, since taking office, Sun Taishou has been locking himself in the Taishou Mansion, and his attitude is unclear.

After discussing, the local bureaucrats and gentry decided to invite guests at Tiansheng Restaurant to welcome him.

Shoutinghou Mansion was naturally also invited.

Chu Pingshan has taken office in Guangwu Camp and is not at home, so only Shen Wuming went on this trip.

…

"My husband, we will welcome Sun Taishou tomorrow, you have to be careful."

Chu Youyi sat on Shen Wuming's legs, her slender arms around his neck, whispering.

Shen Wuming was a little confused, "Why? Did Dad offend him before?"

He was used to it.

After coming to this world, he was kind to others and never had any enemies.

If someone was causing trouble, it must be because Chu Pingshan had offended them before.

Chu Youyi smiled slightly, "It's not an offense... just a little conflict."

"At the beginning, the family of this governor Sun hindered the reform, and then was exiled to the north by my father to build the Great Wall."

...
