The new emperor rewarded the minister, and Gu Jingyun was conferred the title of Grand Tutor with a first-rank title. The ministers were not surprised, but what was surprising was that Gu Jingyun's Taifu was also a false title, and did not hold other powers at the same time.

This was a bit unexpected. I thought that the crown prince would value him so much that Gu Jingyun would definitely take over the power, but who knew it was still an empty title.

Taifu was a high official who assisted the emperor in governing the world in Zhou Dynasty. He was abolished in Qin Dynasty and reinstated after Han Li. But then the dynasties changed, and the position of Taifu gradually became a gifted official, and it was used for adding titles. Those who can be named Taifu are all high-ranking and powerful people.

The position of Taifu is not about weight, but about high position and honor. Only those who serve as imperial teachers or have made great contributions to the country can be granted the title.

For example, Gu Jingyun's great-grandfather, Qin Zhengze, was also a grand tutor, but he was still the chief assistant of the cabinet, and it was his status as the chief assistant of the cabinet that allowed him to hold real power.

Gu Jingyun is the prince's teacher, or the teacher appointed by the late emperor. The officials have long known that after the prince ascends the throne, Gu Jingyun will not be able to escape the title of Taifu.

But what everyone is more interested in is, besides the title of Grand Tutor, what position will the new emperor confer on Gu Jingyun? After all, Tai Tuo is just a false title, so his fourth-rank servant should be promoted, right?

Who knew that Gu Jingyun didn't get promoted, but was still attached to the Imperial Academy as a fourth-rank waiter, which can be regarded as the lowest actual position in the history of Tai Fuli.

Gu Jingyun was very happy, and said to Baolu after receiving the imperial decree: "You are going to be a wife."

Li Baolu smiled and said, "I've seen mother's Yipin Gaoming uniform, it's very beautiful!"

"You will have it soon." Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "You don't have to curtsy to them when you enter the palace to attend the palace banquet in the future."

Gu Jingyun has never asked Li Baolu for a royal order, and all he has been waiting for is this day.

The servant who came to proclaim the decree stood aside with his head bowed, silently writing down these words, and prepared to learn them for the emperor when he went back.

Gu Jingyun handed the imperial decree to Baolu, and then looked at the waiter, "Thank you for your hard work, Dongfeng, take the adults down for tea."

"Master Gu, you are being polite. This is what miscellaneous people should do." The servant didn't dare to pick on Joe, and said with a bent waist, "If Master Gu has no other orders, then we should step down."

Gu Jingyun nodded after thinking about it, and sealed the big red seal for them.

The guards and internal servants all grinned happily after receiving the thick red envelopes, so they like this kind of decree of promotion or reward the most, and they can make a lot of money by going there. The money earned in one trip is better than a year's salary.

Gu Jingyun was neither stingy nor generous, and the red seal he gave was not small, but everyone was still very happy.

This is the celebrity in front of the new emperor, as long as he doesn't offend him, that's fine.

The guards and servants returned to the palace, while Gu Jingyun went directly to the study to write the imperial seal.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites here brought the official robes and hats of Grand Tutor Gu Jingyun, and the brochures of Gu Jingyun were delivered to the cabinet by Nanfeng.

As a first-rank Taifu, he has the right to go directly to the heavens.

However, because his papers are not marked, they will still be reviewed by the cabinet.

The elders of the cabinet and the hall officials just learned that the servants went to Gu's mansion to announce the decree, Gu Jingyun became a first-rank Taifu, and the general smiled and stood up to congratulate Qin Xinfang, and Gu Jingyun's booklet came in.

The atmosphere in the cabinet froze, and they all stared at the folder on the table strangely.

At this time, didn't Gu Jingyun just receive the imperial decree and go home to celebrate? Why did you send me a discount?

At this time, it was delivered after the servant left.

Everyone looked at Qin Xinfang one after another.

Qin Xinfang smiled lightly and stood up, took the folder, and opened it directly in front of everyone. After scanning ten lines at a glance, he handed the notebook to Ouyang Shangshu, and said with a smile: "It's Ouyang Shangshu's job to find a job in his place, so I won't get involved."

Everyone craned their necks curiously after hearing this.

Ouyang Shangshu was also very curious, and took a sneak peek away from everyone's sight. Seeing that it was not a confidential matter, he openly read the following content.

Waiting for him to read it with the same glance and ten lines, he couldn't help but be silent.

He closed the notebook speechlessly, and said with a strange expression: "I will discuss it with my subordinates, and I will report to Your Majesty later."

Peng Dan and the others walked up to him as if nothing had happened, and asked, "What's the big deal, Ouyang Shangshu can't make up his mind?"

"It is indeed a major event," Ouyang Shangshu glanced at them with a half-smile and said, "There are not many first-rank imperial seals, even if you look at the whole Dachu. It is within the law, but I have to ask His Majesty what it means."

Ouyang Shangshu shared Gu Jingyun's notebook with everyone without hesitation, and successfully got a few "stunned" emoticons, and then left satisfied.

Hmph, you can't just be surprised by yourself.

Cabinet elders and hall officials: Just how impatient Gu Jingyun is, the servant leaves before him, and he asks his wife for an imperial order. This is...how impatient.

Li An, who had just become emperor for a few days, faced Gu Jingyun's impatience.

Li An, who had just finished reviewing a dozen memorials, rested on the chair with his eyes closed, was so exhausted that he almost fell asleep.

The newly appointed Chief Eunuch De Chief came forward with a cup of strong tea and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the servant who came to the Gu Mansion to announce the decree has returned. Do you want to see him?"

The emperor still has half discounts yet to approve, and in the afternoon he has to discuss with the court ministers about spring plowing. If His Majesty is allowed to sleep and miss the discounts, His Majesty will definitely be annoyed afterwards.

Hearing this, Li An became slightly sober, opened his eyes and said, "Show him up." After saying that, he took a sip of the strong tea.

Director De responded with a smile, bowed and retreated to serve Xuannei into the hall.

It just so happened that Director Su came in with a small waiter bringing a bowl of crispy cheese. Director De saw the former head of the palace, the current head of the Taikang Palace and the eunuch did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly went up to him and said, "Why is your father-in-law here? What should I do?" Just tell the people below to do it."

Director Su smiled slightly and said: "The miscellaneous family came here under the orders of the Supreme Emperor, how dare you order the people below?"

He turned slightly sideways, revealing the little servant behind him, and said, "This is the pastry that the Supreme Emperor bestowed on His Majesty."

Director De didn't dare to neglect, and hurried into the hall to report.

Li An smiled and said, "Let them come in together. After hearing the gossip, you can go back and learn from the father, and let him know what's going on outside."

Director De bowed his head in response, went out and brought in two pairs of servants, one pair was naturally Director Su and his apprentice, and the other pair was the servants who were ordered to go to Gu's residence to proclaim the edict.

Li An saw that Director Su's hair was pale, and he would not accept his worship, so he quickly instructed Director De to say: "Help Director Su up quickly."

Director Su insisted on kowtowing to Li An, and then supported Director De's hand to stand up, and said with a smile: "Your servant is so delicate, let alone just kowtow to His Majesty, even a hundred kowtows are still acceptable." After speaking, he turned sideways and picked up a bowl of crispy cheese from the tray in his apprentice's hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is the crispy cheese that the Supreme Emperor specially ordered the small kitchen to steam for you."

Director Su stepped up the steps with the bowl and brought it to Li An. When he saw the strong tea in front of him, his eyes paused slightly, then he looked away as if nothing had happened, put down the bowl and said with a smile: "The Supreme Emperor knows that His Majesty has stayed up late for several nights in a row. I'm afraid you'll be exhausted, and you know that cheese helps you sleep and is good for your body, so I steamed it in the small kitchen, and said that if you eat well, then take a bowl every morning and evening."

Li An stirred the milk in the bowl, moved in his heart, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Father."

Director Su sighed and said: "Since your Majesty knows the painstaking efforts of the Supreme Emperor, you should take care of yourself even more. This servant has been serving in the Palace of Qinzheng since the emperor's time. This political matter can never be finished, and this book can never be answered. Yes, what the Supreme Emperor regrets most is poor health, Your Majesty should not follow in the footsteps of the Supreme Emperor."

Li An smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Director Su, I will take care of myself."

Manager Su knew that he didn't listen at all, but he didn't try to persuade them anymore, but stepped aside with a smile and listened to them.

While drinking milk, Li An listened to the two servants talking about Gu's edict.

After hearing Gu Jingyun's recitation of "You are going to be a wife", I almost spit out a mouthful of milk.

Thinking of his teacher's activism, and thinking about his love and respect for his wife, Li An couldn't help but put down the bowl in his hand, and said with a serious face: "The minister of the Xuanli Department goes to the hall."

Director Su withdrew with the others, and when he was outside the hall, he couldn't help looking at Director De, "Xiao Dezi, please give the miscellaneous family a ride."

Director De was startled, took a look at Director Su, and quickly smiled and said, "Little Dezi can't ask for it, please, Director Su."

The oldest person in the palace is naturally not only Director Su, but also the most powerful, the most connected, and the longest smiling.

When the first emperor was there, he was a confidant, the chief eunuch in the Palace of Qinzheng. When the first emperor passed away, everyone thought he was going to be unlucky, but after the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, he was still made the head of the internal supervisor, and he was still under one person and above ten thousand people.

But when he was old, he thought he would be raised outside the palace, and when everyone could finally reach his high position, this one took in an apprentice and godson, and was sent to Taikang Palace to be raised in advance. The Supreme Emperor's seat was also moved to Taikang Palace. He was still the chief eunuch, but he no longer served people, but was served by others.

Just under the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, he became an honorary eunuch. How many people can do this as an internal eunuch?

Eunuch De has had ups and downs in the palace for more than twenty years, but he still had to bow in front of Director Su. He called Xiao Dezi, even if he had already become the chief eunuch of Qinzheng Palace, he had to respond.

Director Su supported Director De to go out, and waited for the people around him to be sensibly behind for a long way before asking, "Did you make that cup of strong tea on Your Majesty's table?"

Manager De's heart skipped a beat, and he asked calmly, "Is there something wrong with that cup of tea?"

Director Su shook his head slightly, turned his head to look at Director De and said, "Little Dezi, it's not easy for you to be in the palace for more than 20 years. A person who can be the chief eunuch is not a fool, but you are not smart enough. You You are His Majesty's servant, do you know what your duty is?"

Director De looked at President Su and said, "Of course I'm serving His Majesty."

Director Su slowly let go of his hand, and sighed as he walked forward: "Yes, serve Your Majesty. Our life and death are all on His Majesty's body. Naturally, what is good for him is the best. You must always remember Now, our duty is to serve His Majesty, don't think about the rest."
