Love Your Husband

Part 291 - 300

Sheng Hong was very concerned about the local conditions, whether it was the reconstruction of houses, the growth of crops, or the attitude of the people towards the court. Sheng Hong reminded them one by one and asked the four prefectures to report the local conditions in a more detailed and truthful manner next time, and to refrain from falsifying information.

Li Qiao finished writing these four memorials in one breath, and his arms felt a little sore.

Sheng Hong took the memorial he had just written and glanced at it. He was very satisfied: "Although the handwriting is average, it is neat and the writing speed is fast."

"You are indeed a young man."

If the ministers in the cabinet wrote all these words in one breath, they would definitely need to take a good rest.

But looking at Li Qiao, she seemed as if nothing had happened.

It’s good to be young.

So, the next day, Sheng Hong summoned Li Qiao to the palace to serve as his ghostwriter.

He was reluctant to use those old guys in the cabinet. These grand secretaries also served as the ministers of six ministries and were very busy every day. Moreover, the main job of a grand secretary was to use their brains. If they were asked to do physical work, it would be a waste of talent.

But Li Qiao was young and strong. Although he was a scholar and looked a little thin, he was stronger than a strong man. Not only could he knock Lu Wenrong unconscious with one kick, he could also hit people with his weapons.

Now that we have captured such a strong laborer, we must make good use of him.

So, for five consecutive days, Li Qiao went to the palace to serve as Sheng Hong's ghostwriter.

Such a long time was enough for all the civil and military officials in the court to know that he had become a close minister to the emperor.

The position of Bachelor of Imperial Tutoring was a position that was very easy to advance to. With this position, one could not only meet the emperor and princes frequently, but also show them what he knew.

If the emperor was satisfied and approved of the scholar's knowledge, then when handling government affairs, he would certainly ask the scholar for his opinions.

This kind of opportunity is not available to every official of the fifth rank or above. As long as the bachelor of imperial studies seizes the opportunity and lets the emperor know that he is not only well-educated but also has unique insights into government affairs, promotion will be a matter of minutes.

This is also the reason why most of the cabinet ministers came from the Hanlin Academy.

Being always by the emperor's side and being able to frequently display one's talents to the emperor, isn't it easier for one to be promoted than other officials?

But Li Qiao's ascension speed is somewhat scary.

He had only been the Imperial Bachelor of Studies for half a year, while the other Imperial Bachelors of Studies in the Hanlin Academy had already been in this position for several years.

More importantly, the timing was ingenious.

Because the fifth prince is about to be released from prison, no, from confinement.

At this time, Sheng Hong summoned Li Qiao to his side every day, and the implication of his protection was so strong that it seemed to be all over the faces of the civil and military officials.

The fifth prince was put in solitary confinement for a month during the New Year's Day. This punishment may not seem severe, but the fifth prince failed to frame someone and was punished instead, which made him look humiliated. It was actually quite embarrassing.
