The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 374: The intricacies of the new currency promotion mobilization meeting...

Gu Jingzhi nodded: "The probability is as high as 80%!"

Chen Yu fell silent after hearing this. Somehow, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it for a while.

Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi immediately asked, "Did Yu'er find anything else?"

"Ugh!"

Chen Yu sighed softly, "I still feel something is wrong! The Second Prince is just ambitious but lacks talent. If the Queen were to act as my husband desires... I don't think she would resort to such despicable means!"

"After all, the Crown Princess made a fool of herself at the annual banquet, which brought shame to the royal family. The Queen should not allow the Second Prince to act like this!"

"My husband's considerations are based on the despicable nature of the aristocratic families. However, if they don't agree, their actions will be extremely risky! On the contrary, I have read Jin Lehuang's confession, and according to it, the Third Prince is an extremely vicious person."

"He doesn't have the same prominent background as the Second Prince, so he's even more unscrupulous. While the royal family's reputation is important, it's obviously less important than his personal ascension to the throne!"

"This……"

"You do have some truth in what you said!"

Gu Jing was startled and asked, "What else is wrong?"

"According to what my husband just said, His Majesty's health problems should have developed in the past two years. But if His Majesty really had an accident, the Third Prince is neither the eldest nor the legitimate heir, so it would not be his turn!"

"Even if the Crown Prince was still in Ningzhou at that time, if His Majesty passed away, there would still be the Second Prince on the throne. Regardless of strength or relationship between legitimate and illegitimate children, the throne would not fall into the hands of the Third Prince, unless..."

The couple suddenly looked at each other and said in unison: "Mutiny!"

This horse riding...

Gu Jingzhi felt a little numb!

Emperor Xia has three sons, so he can really cause trouble. First, the Internal Guard was leaking information everywhere like a sieve, and now the Imperial Guards are here!

Daxia hadn't reached the point of decay yet. If the prince wanted to rebel successfully as quickly as possible, there was almost no other way except with the Imperial Guards! Whether it was the City Defense Battalion or the Capital Camp...

If there is a mutiny in these two places, the success rate will be too low!

The generals of the various factions in the capital's camp were restraining each other, and any arbitrary transfer of them might lead to suppression from other factions. As for the city defense camp... even if 30,000 people were sent to attack the imperial city, the chances of success would be slim!

Not to mention the border troops, the generals in the court are not just for show!

The Imperial Guards are the most critical link in truly completing a coup through a mutiny, after all, the Imperial Guards are already located in the imperial city.

"I'm afraid this capital city will be in constant trouble from now on!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled somewhat bitterly.

When Huo Wenwu rebelled before, the emperor would have to reorganize the imperial guards, but he didn't expect that there were still enemies lurking in the dark, and the key was that no one knew who they were.

The most important thing is that these are just speculations of the couple, without any evidence. If they go to Emperor Xia to tell him about this, I'm afraid that Emperor Xia will deal with him, Gu Jingzhi, first.

It is true that Emperor Xia has some opinions about his second and third sons, but that is only for the sake of the heir. If someone really advises Emperor Xia to kill his own sons, who do you think he will kill first?

"It seems like Lin Feng has to pay more attention to this matter!"

Gu Jingzhi looked at his wife with a wry smile.

Chen Yu rolled her eyes and said expressionlessly, "Don't blame me for not warning my husband. No matter who did it, the Crown Princess was drugged but no scandal broke out. People will definitely suspect her!"

"My husband and the Crown Princess are like this right now..."

Chen Yu sighed softly!

Thinking of the enchantress in the courtyard, she was speechless and angry. The Crown Princess was too capable. Her appearance was one thing, but her voice sounded just like Chen Yu's.

When Chen Yu thought of this, he gritted his teeth in anger.

My house was accidentally robbed, and now I have to look at a face that looks so much like that woman every day. Are you angry?

Gu Jingzhi looked at his wife with an expression that said "don't get close to me", rolled his eyes, and then he stretched out his arms and picked her up.

Chen Yu screamed, "What are you doing?"

"Dry!"

As the saying goes, there is nothing that can't be solved with a good fight. If there is, then fight until dawn!

Chen Yu was angry.

"Let me go, I'm still angry. You sleep on the floor tonight..."

……

next day!

Three poles in the sun.

Gu Jingzhi rubbed his old waist and walked out of his room. After a night of comforting, the jealous woman at home was finally appeased.

If the housekeeper hadn't come to call him, he probably would have stayed in bed longer.

After slowly arriving at the study, he found that quite a few people were already waiting inside. Apart from his second uncle and eldest sister, the rest were officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue.

These were the first group of people he selected to be responsible for a new coin.

Seeing Gu Jingzhi coming in, they all stood up to greet him. Gu Jingzhi pressed his palm and said, "No need to be so polite. Please sit down!"

As he spoke, he took the main seat, and Gu Yunzhi followed him and sat down beside him. Seeing this scene, all the officials were a little puzzled. Who was this person? How could he participate in such a high-level government meeting?

You know, ever since they got involved in the affairs of the new currency, the Marquis has repeatedly ordered them to keep it strictly confidential, and not even their family members are allowed to disclose it.

Seeing the surprised looks from everyone, Gu Jingzhi said, "This is my eldest sister, the president of the Ningzhou Chamber of Commerce. She's an expert in commerce and currency, and will be the de facto person in charge of the affairs of the Great Xia Royal Bank in the future!"

What?

When Gu Jingzhi said this, all the officials were stunned.

Let a woman be their head?

They were able to work with Gu Jingzhi, so they were naturally not the type to look down on businessmen. However, in this era of male superiority and female inferiority, letting a woman sit on their heads, this...

They are all officials appointed by the imperial court!

Gu Jingzhi saw their expressions and immediately knew what they were thinking, so he said, "I have already consulted His Majesty on this matter, and His Majesty has approved it."

Gu Jingzhi shut them up with just one sentence.

Tell them bluntly, I’m here to inform you, not to ask for your opinion!

However, even so, words that are detrimental to unity should be avoided. He took a sip of tea from his teacup and continued, "As the Minister of Revenue, I am in charge of national taxation and cannot do everything in my power. Therefore, I need someone to take charge of the bank's affairs for me!"

"This concept of banking has never appeared in Daxia before, so you will need some time to adapt! You are all officials appointed by the imperial court, and your moral character is beyond doubt. However, in the current situation, my principle in employing people must be based on their ability first."

"I will serve as the president of the Great Xia Royal Bank for a period of three years, and so will my eldest sister!"

Three years...

After hearing this, the officials at the meeting felt less resistant. After all, Gu Jingzhi had made it very clear that banks were a new thing and they didn't understand it, so they needed someone who knew about it to take charge of the affairs!

But considering their feelings, this time is three years.

Three years later, it will depend on whether you can grow up!

You have to know that the Daxia Royal Bank is a 4th-grade institution...

For a moment, everyone's heart was burning with excitement!

"We will obey the Marquis' orders!"

"Alright! Since there's no problem, let's be frank. From today onwards, I don't want to hear any gossip. Can you all do that?"

As he spoke, he looked at everyone...
