Chapter 573
"Why did your highness choose your highness? Although the lower officials have wild prospects, they are not arrogant enough to think that they have the talent to help the world. "
Gu Yu calmed down at the moment before he was dizzy.
Somehow, he kept his reason and was not completely bewitched by Liu Zhao's words.
It's just hard to avoid. Some are worried about gains and losses.
Afraid to refuse too simply, lost the opportunity. And he was afraid that he would pay more than he expected.
He was willing to take a chance. What's the cost?
Liu Zhao was surprised that Gu Yu was not easily bewitched by him and could still think calmly.
Good, good.
He really has two brushes in his eye.
Liu Zhao said bluntly: "because you are sitting in the right position, you have become the most suitable person."
"Because of this?" Gu Yu frowned slightly.
Liu Zhao nodded, "yes, because of this." He was honest enough not to cheat.
Gu Yu licked his lips. His lips were dry and cracked. It seemed useless to drink more tea.
"How many years does your highness need me to be the magistrate of Xinmin county?"
Liu Zhao was silent for a moment, then said: "more than ten years."
Gu Yu said in a hurry: "this is against the rules."
Liu Zhao laughed and said, "which of the rules in Xinmin county?"
Xinmin county is the only county in Dazhou that has no self-employed peasants. However, other counties can't match the tax revenue.
It's not that the refugees didn't want to farm.
Farming is fundamental. Many refugees dream of farming.
However, the land in Xinmin county has long been bought by Gu Jiu, and there is no surplus land for the refugees to open up wasteland.
Outside Xinmin County, the refugees are not entitled to the land.
Even the title deed of Xinmin county government is still in Gu Jiu's hands.
Gu Jiu reminds Gu Yu, "at the end of this year, there will be a big evaluation. Whether you can continue to sit in the seat of Xinmin county magistrate and see how it works at the end of this year.
Xiao Jiu and I can help you, but at the same time, they will also attract a large number of imperial censor's attacks and even frame up.
But Huyang princess is different. If she strives for the benefits for her son-in-law, she is simply too natural. Of course, your majesty will not care. Do you understand the difference? "
Gu Yu nodded, and he understood.
One is to strive for the benefits of their own people, and naturally they will be accepted.
One is to seek profits for the prince, which involves the struggle for seizing the throne, which is bound to attract numerous criticisms.
As Liu Zhao said, they are sensitive to their identity. If you can protect him for a while, you can't protect him for the rest of your life.
He wants to make further progress in his official career. He is afraid that he will waste ten or twenty years before he can get another chance.
Gu Yu is already thirty, and he is not willing to continue to waste time.
Take the post of county magistrate of Xinmin county and let his talents be displayed. He enjoyed his life and was full of energy every day.
Watching Xinmin county change every day under his own management, he is full of a sense of achievement.
After tasting the taste of power, who is willing to stay away from the official career and continue to waste ten or twenty years.
Gu Yu asked directly, "what does your highness need me to do?"
Liu Zhao laughed, "Gu county magistrate, don't worry, you just need to agree to this marriage, nothing else needs to be done."
Gu Yu frowns. Is there such a good thing in the world?
"In addition, we should work hard to prepare a generous dowry gift. This is the bride price list. My highness has prepared it for you. Just follow the order. If the money is a little tight, my highness believes that Gu county magistrate must have a way to solve it. "
Gu Yu never expected that Liu Zhao even prepared the bride price list for him.
Obviously, Liu Zhao came with preparation. I don't know how long he has planned this matter.
Gu Yu was frightened.
Before the Su family, clearly is smoke, used to confuse people.
Gu Yu even suspected that the reason why Princess Huyang fell in love with Su Zheng was that Liu Zhao manipulated it secretly.
Why didn't Liu Zhao direct Huyang to see him?
Gu Yu asked himself and thought about it.
I'm afraid it's because his condition is worse than that of Su Zheng. Princess Huyang doesn't look up to him at first sight.
Su Zheng was a Jinshi and an official in the Imperial Academy. Even if it is temporarily down, the reputation of the Su family is still there.
Gu Yu even guessed that Liu Zhao dared to make such a calculation, that is, he was determined that the Su family would refuse.
Even if there was an accident, the Su family agreed to Huyang princess's proposal, and Liu Zhao would try to destroy the marriage.
Encountered the Su family mercilessly refused, estimated Huyang princess will slightly reduce the requirements of the future son-in-law.
At this time, he entered the sight of Princess Huyang. It was just right.
Also Gu Jiu's blood relatives, but also carrying Xinmin county magistrate, mature and stable has no concubine room. It's just that my family background is poor.
When Gu Yu thought of this, his heart leaped and he felt frightened.Does Gu Jiu know that Liu Zhao is scheming all this?
He opened his mouth, but he felt dry and speechless.
Liu Zhao knew what he was thinking with a clear smile. In the face of temptation, Gu Yu can still think of Gu Jiu, who is a man of love.
Liu Zhao reached out his hand and gently knocked on the table, attracting Gu Yu's attention.
He looked at Gu Yu with deep eyes and said, "no matter whether Gu county magistrate agrees with this marriage or not, my highness hopes you will not mention today's affairs to anyone, including Xiao Jiu. Xiaojiu likes to do business, so my highness naturally supports her.
She has worked so hard that she can't worry about other things. And she's the one who hates these calculations. Do you understand? "
Gu Yu nodded subconsciously, "I understand."
Liu Zhao laughed, "Gu county magistrate is really wise."
Gu Yu gave a bitter smile.
"You can't let her down," she said
Liu Zhao's face was cold, "my highness naturally won't let her down. There is no need for you to worry about Xiao Jiu. "
The intention of refusing was not concealed. There are even hidden threats.
Any man's concern for Xiao Jiu makes Liu Zhao unhappy.
Gu Yu bit his teeth, "if she asked me..."
"Remember to take care of your mouth." Liu Zhao directly interrupted Gu Yu's words, "my highness doesn't want to have any gossip spread to Xiaojiu's ears. If someone can't control his mouth, my highness doesn't mind cutting some people's tongues with his own hands. "
A cold light flashed in Liu Zhao's eyes, and his killing intention overflowed.
Gu Yu shuddered and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. I'll keep my mouth shut. I won't reveal a word."
Liu Zhao laughed in a twinkling of an eye, smiling gently and intimately, "so Gu county magistrate agrees to this marriage?"
Gu Yu nodded, "the marriage introduced by your highness is naturally excellent. If the lower officials refuse, they will not know what is good or bad. "
"Ha ha That's great. You are ready to see each other in a few days. Your family's side, pacify well in advance, don't make a joke
Gu Yu slightly bowed, "the lower officials will take good care of the family, do not let them bad things."
Liu Zhao got up and left the county government quickly.
Gu Yu sent the man out of the back door and watched the carriage leave.
When the cold wind blows, he shivers all over his body. Then he realizes that he has a cold sweat, and his clothes are soaked to the skin.
Gu Yu looked at the gloomy sky, gnawed his teeth and put it together!
……
A few days later, news came from Princess fuming's residence that he had been robbed.
The thief was so bold that he stole the princess's mansion.
The matter caused heated discussion in the circle.
Then, the second son of Princess fuming rode out to play. As a result, the horse was frightened and broke his leg. The situation was not very optimistic.
At this time, Huyang County principal office of course refused the marriage proposal of Princess fuming.
Who knows if the boy will be lame and disabled after he is cured. Who can marry Minmin to a man who may be disabled.
Even if the boy can't be disabled, but he broke his leg during the Chinese new year, which proves that the boy is not lucky to commit Taisui this year.
It's not a good time to have a marriage at this time.
Princess Huyang didn't show up, and appointed the princess's house order to refuse Princess fuming's offer of marriage.
Princess fuming had two hands to prepare, one Gu Jiu and one Chen min. As a result, all of them failed, and they were so angry that they would vomit blood.
I wanted to smash the house, but I couldn't bear it.
If you don't have a lot of money, you have to save it. You can't blow something of value out of anger.
In the end, Princess fuming simply beat and scolded the servants.
During the new year's Eve, there were wails from Princess fuming's house. It was really unlucky.
If someone passes by the fuming princess's house, they have to take a detour.
I'd rather walk more than be affected by the bad luck of the family.
Princess Huyang is still feeling that Chen Min's marriage is not smooth. When her servants say something casually, she starts her thinking.
"My mother wants to marry Madame Zhao. I think about it carefully. In fact, there is a suitable person. I'm sure you won't refuse
Huyang princess a listen, came to interest, "who? What relatives can Gu Jiu have to marry? "
The servant carefully said: "there is such a person in the family, far in the horizon, near in front of you. That man is Mr. Gu Yu, magistrate of Xinmin county.
Madame Zhao specially placed him in the position of the magistrate of Xinmin County, which shows that he has the ability. It is said that Madame Zhao privately called Gu Yu the fourth elder brother of Gu and attached great importance to each other. The most important thing is that the magistrate of Gu county is still unmarried. "
Huyang, happy, Xinmin county is the hen laying golden eggs. To be able to sit in the seat of the magistrate of Xinmin County, he must be extraordinary.
"His name is Gu Yu. How old is he?"
"In his early thirties."
Huyang Princess frowned, suddenly some dislike, "a big age has not married, difficult not to have hidden disease? Or do you have a special hobby and a habit of breaking your sleeves? "The servant was very worried and calmed down before he said, "my mother misunderstood me. Gu county magistrate has no hidden disease and no habit of breaking his sleeves. The reason why he hasn't been married at such an old age is all because he has a mother who is out of tune. "
