Gu Jingyun returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and when the general stood up, there was a chorus of praise officers. The position of Zen requires the emperor to lead the prince to announce to the world first, and then to offer sacrifices to the world and ancestors. The emperor crowned the prince in front of the altar, and then the emperor and the prince stepped back and put on new clothes.

Although the emperor is still wearing a dragon robe, the style will be more solemn. The dragon body embroidered on it is woven with gold thread, and the claws are embroidered with black thread. The prince will change into a tailor-made dragon robe. The dragons on his dragon robe are all golden yellow, but the dragon body does not require gold thread.

This is the prince's request to show respect to the emperor, even if he has abdicated, the status is above him.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites frightened and agreed to this plan, for fear that the emperor would settle accounts with them in the future.

The prince put on a dragon robe, was led by the emperor to the throne, and handed over the jade seal representing the imperial power to him. The officials worshiped three times and kowtowed nine times, and shouted long live three times before he was officially enthroned.

This was the first emperor in Dachu to be sent to the throne by the emperor. Historians widened their eyes excitedly and recorded every detail, for fear of missing a trace of history.

No matter how complicated the hearts of the ministers are, how much they think in their hearts, from this moment on, their immediate boss has changed, but the old boss is still alive. This is really embarrassing for them.

And the common people outside said that they were simply happy.

The new emperor has ascended the throne, and this year's taxes will be reduced and exempted, and some slaves, slaves and prisoners will be pardoned, and the old emperor is not dead, which means that the people do not need to observe filial piety, and they can take advantage of this auspicious day to get married and have children.

Taxes have been reduced, and the family has more money. If you have money to prepare a dowry for your son or a dowry for your daughter, you don’t have to worry about extra taxes when you marry a daughter-in-law.

Pardon servants and slaves, keep your eyes open, maybe you can find a daughter-in-law/son-in-law with very little money, and if you are lucky, maybe they will meet someone who is literate or skilled.

The people were full of joy, and Li Baolu in the Qin Mansion was also full of joy. While massaging Gu Jingyun who was lying on the bed, she said happily, "The prince has become the emperor, so you are a veritable emperor teacher, right?"

Gu Jingyun collapsed on the bed and responded in a low voice.

Standing for a whole day today, kneeling for a long time, getting up and praying again and again, almost tossing him to pieces, he said weakly: "He is the emperor teacher, still only has reputation, no real power."

"I'm not happy that you have real power," Li Baolu pouted, "It's all about political affairs, boring and busy, how boring. I think we are doing well now."

Gu Jingyun responded in a low voice, "At least I can go to court at any time, and I don't have to go to court if I don't want to. When I went out this morning, my uncle gave me a purse. I opened it and found out that it contained Baoxindan. All the civil servants today They all brought Baoxin Pills to the court, and half of the military officers also brought them, but just like that, there were still several adults who were carried out when they left the palace..."

Therefore, if you want to be an official, you must have a good physical fitness. Otherwise, once you meet the gods and ancestors, just kowtow can exhaust you to death.

So it's good to have no real power, and you can go to court, Gu Jingyun decided that he would still be "sick" if he encounters such a grand ceremony after this time.

Gu Jingyun was secretly thinking about pretending to be sick, and in the palace, the new emperor was also discussing with the Supreme Emperor about the appointment of his officials.

This is almost a common practice. The new emperor has to award meritorious officials when he ascends the throne. However, he is the emperor who ascended the Zen throne, and there is no such thing as a meritorious official. And because he hates party disputes as much as his father did, and his position as prince is very stable, so he has no political party.

In this way, there is no such thing as awarding meritorious officials, but courtiers who have made contributions to the country, people who are kind to him or those who are close to him can be rewarded.

For example, his companion Peng Yu, Wei Yingjie and Tao Wu, who have been with him since he was the grandson, are those who are close to him and have fought against him before, and they are considered heroes;

Another example is the Cai family of the former concubine, the mother's family of the future queen. According to the usual practice, Cai Jijiu can be granted the title of a vain noble like Cheng Enbo, but the new emperor's uncle is now Cheng Enbo, unless his uncle dies, otherwise It is impossible to transfer this title to his father-in-law.

So the Ministry of Rites had to draw up a similar title for his father-in-law. Anyway, he was an uncle, and he only had a false title and some salary, so the title didn't matter much. The title given to Cai Jijiu can only be used after the post-sealing decree goes down.

Again and again, it is the rewards for veteran ministers like Qin Xinfang, Peng Dan, and Ouyang. Of course, these people cannot be clean, but they are all dedicated to the government, and they are considered to have made contributions to the country and the people. Now that the new emperor ascends the throne, they must be rewarded.

What's more, most of them have gone through three dynasties, and they are old ministers used by his grandfather. Although they have disdain for his imperial grandfather in their hearts, Li An can't express it. I can only look very honored, and then go to reward them.

These people hold great power in the court. In order not to make things worse in the future, it is impossible for Li An to give them more power, so he can only give them honorary titles. Various titles such as Taishi and Taibao do not require money. sent out.

Anyway, it is a false title, and there is no lutian. Every year, the household department gives a few thousand taels of silver and a few stones of grain. When they retire or return to the West, these false titles can be taken back.

Li An didn't feel bad for it, but he hesitated when he signed the last imperial decree, "Father, are you really only giving the title of Master Taifu?"

The Supreme Emperor was closing his eyes and resting his mind, when he heard this, he opened his eyes and asked, "What else do you want to give him?"

Li An pursed his lips, although he did not speak, his expression was very stubborn.

The Supreme Emperor sighed and said: "Your grandfather said in front of the civil and military officials of the court that he is not allowed to take real power. The courtiers are all watching. Are you going to violate his holy will?"

"Father, sir has great talent, if he can assist me..."

"Why don't I know that he has great talent? Why don't I want to use him? But he doesn't want to," the Supreme Emperor said indifferently: "If he has the heart, it is the most appropriate step to take that step when I am in power. The civil and military courts of the whole court Knowing that I am at odds with your imperial grandfather, and that I have violated his holy will, even if some people have objections, they dare not go too far. However, he does not want to."

The Supreme Emperor leaned forward slightly, looked at Li An seriously and said, "Since he didn't want it then, of course he won't be willing now either."

Great Chu ruled the world with filial piety, and the Supreme Emperor violated the sacred will of the late emperor. It can also be said that the late emperor was unkind to the Supreme Emperor, and once wanted to kill and abolish the Supreme Emperor. But it was different for Li An. Li An was the grandson at the time, and the late emperor treated him pretty well on the surface.

And as a grandson and son, he should not participate in the affairs of the elders as a junior, and naturally he should not be unfilial to his grandfather just because of his father, so it is not the same thing for him to openly violate the sacred will of the first emperor.

Seeing his son pursing his lips tightly, the Supreme Emperor knew that he still wanted to use Gu Jingyun, so he got up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's useless if you think too much now, because he might not be willing. If you can't let go, why don't you ask him?" If he is really unwilling, you should not force him. And if he is willing," the emperor paused, then smiled slightly: "then father will find a way for you."

But he knew that Gu Jingyun would not be willing.

Of course Gu Jingyun was unwilling.

He was exhausted from the new emperor's ascension to the throne, and the next day he hugged Baolu and fell asleep until the sun was up.

Baolu was lazy in winter, and she didn't want to get up to practice kungfu when it snowed outside, so the time to get up was constantly delayed. Except for meditating before going to bed at night, she put the practice of sword and light kung fu at noon.

Under such circumstances, it is of course impossible for Gu Jingyun to get up early, and sleep with Baolu in his arms every day until he wakes up naturally.

If he wants to be an official with real power, it means that he has to get up at five o'clock every day, no matter whether it is cold or hot. Then after a hasty breakfast, I will go to court, the small court will be open, the big court will be open, and after the next court, I will have to deal with the mountain of official documents.

This is nothing, anyway, official documents and teaching are similar, just read it as a book.

However, since he has become an official with real power, he has to be responsible to the people and the country. Not to mention that he can take Baolu out for fun during winter and summer vacations every year, even if he doesn't have time to take a bath every month.

For example, his uncle, when he is not busy, can skip work and go home to accompany his wife and children, but if he is busy, Niu Niu is still asleep when he goes out every day, and Niu Niu is already asleep when he comes back. He didn't want his daughter to be unable to find her father even when she closed her eyes after she opened her eyes.

But teaching in the academy is different, even if there are affairs of the Hanlin Academy to be responsible, he is more than capable of handling them, even in the busiest time, he can spare time every day to practice sword with Baolu and spend a little time with his daughter child's game.

Moreover, Gu Jingyun has no political ambitions. In the past, he longed for power in order to rehabilitate his uncle, but now that his wish has been fulfilled, he no longer cares about power.

And now how many people in the capital, even in the whole of Chu, dare to offend him? He doesn't need power to pursue his own desires, as long as no one wants to mess with him.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Gu Jingyun is unwilling to take real power. Facing the disappointed Li An, Gu Jingyun smiled and said: "I can train many talents for Your Majesty, isn't that enough?"

"However, none of them are gentlemen. Masters have great talents. If they can succeed in the dynasty, it will be a great fortune for the country and a great blessing for the people."

"No matter how talented I am, I have only one person," Gu Jingyun shook his head and said, "A person's energy is limited, and what he can do is also limited. But it's different in the academy. Professor Juren class, I can give it to you every three years. The imperial court provides a group of talents. Based on the last selection rate, I can teach at least eighteen students in three years, nine useful talents even if divided into three years, and three in that year. I have been teaching for twenty years, and after twenty years there will be sixty useful people in the Juren class alone."

"Three cobblers can compete with one Zhuge Liang, so is it possible that these sixty available talents are not as good as me alone? What's more, besides them, there are also children I have graduated from the enlightenment class. I am confident that what I have taught Even if the students are mediocre, they will not be ordinary mediocre, they will be useful to the country and the people, even if they just pay a little more tax every year, they are better than ordinary people..."

Li An understood Gu Jingyun's long speech, and said disappointedly: "So sir, he only wants to teach, and he doesn't want to make further progress in the court?"

Gu Jingyun smiled and nodded, "It's too tiring to be an official with real power."

Li An was helpless, "Is this the reason why the husband is unwilling?"

Gu Jingyun smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying it.

Li An sighed, got up and said, "I understand, sir, go back at ease."

Gu Jingyun nodded slightly to him, and when he turned to go out, he paused slightly, and said: "In the future, if you have any questions, you can ask me, whether it is political affairs or life, as long as I know, I will answer you."

Li Anxin relaxed, became happy, and bowed his hands together and said, "Yes, sir."

Gu Jingyun then turned and left.
