The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1113
Gu Chengyu put the book back on the bookshelf, because he has not yet visited Kuang Zhaoying, so it would be inappropriate to visit Ma Zhihong first at this time.

Gu Chengyu rubbed his neck, since Kuang Zhaoying didn't know when he would be back, he should take a short rest.

After making up his mind, Gu Chengyu spotted the imperial concubine's couch in the house, and immediately walked over.

"May Mr. Gu be in the house? Your Highness, please go over to discuss matters!"

In a daze, Gu Chengyu heard a sound coming from outside the house, and then heard Wang Zhui's questioning voice.

He sighed, yes!He wanted to be lazy, but who knew that he was not looking for trouble, but something came to him instead.

"My lord! His Royal Highness sent someone to send you to the East Palace to discuss matters!" Wang Zhui entered the room and saw that Gu Chengyu had already got up and adjusted his clothes.

When he entered the room just now, he found that Master Gu had fallen asleep.But he didn't dare to disturb, so he quietly retreated.

At that time, he was still slandering in his heart, Mr. Gu's heart is really big enough.After being left alone by Mr. Kuang for so long, he can still feel at ease.

Is this supposed to be big hearted?Or is Master Gu confident in himself, and will definitely meet Master Kuang when he comes back.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the servant next to His Royal Highness came to pass the news that the prince had summoned Mr. Gu, and Wang Zhui felt as if he had taken a reassurance.

In fact, before this, Wang Zhui had also heard about the deeds of this lord.Who in the court doesn't know Gu Jinyu?Mr. Gu is quite famous in court.

He suddenly remembered that Mr. Gu seemed to have two jobs.Not only is he the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but also the Chancellor of Zhan Shifu, not to mention his teacher is the prince and grand master!
Wang Zhui patted his forehead, Master Gu is so capable, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciates it very much, let alone a celebrity in front of the emperor, there is really no need to care about Master Kuang's neglect.

Gu Chengyu was arranging his clothes, Wang Zhuo naturally stepped forward to help, Gu Chengyu was taken aback, and then waved away the other party's hand.

Firstly, he was not used to being so close to strangers, and secondly, Wang Zhu was not his entourage after all, but just a clerk working for him.

Calling people like this is no different from calling servants. Isn't this demeaning people?He is still a juren anyway, how can he do such trivial things?

"I will come as soon as I go!" Gu Chengyu felt that the prince sent him to discuss matters, mostly for the two matters of Jiangnan disaster relief and the chamber of commerce.

"Eh? So it's Eunuch Pang. I haven't seen you for a long time. Eunuch Pang still looks the same. I'm really flattered that you came to deliver the message yourself!"

As soon as Gu Chengyu left the house, he saw Pang Chu waiting outside the door.Immediately raised a smiley face.

Although it is autumn now, the autumn tiger is still very active, but it is much cooler in the morning and evening.

At this moment, the other party was standing under the big pine tree enjoying the cool air, waving his big sleeves, and fanning the wind vigorously towards his face.

Even the fly whisk that used to be thrown back and forth on his right hand was now hanging on the crook of his arm in a jerk.

"Hey! Mr. Gu, you are really polite. Isn't it an honor for our family to come to spread the word?"

Pang Chu barely held up a smiling face, and after a while, sweat appeared on his face again.

Gu Chengyu found it funny, this Pang Chu was really afraid of the heat, it seemed that he was used to staying in a room with an ice basin, and he had become a rich man.

"You also know that our family is fat, and we can't bear to stay outside for long, so let's go now?" Pang Chu smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Gu Chengyu walked forward with a faint smile. It seems that the food in the Second Prince's Mansion used to be good.

Why are the servants around the other princes like mung bean sprouts? Why is this one so fat? Could it be that this one ate all the prince's food before?

The two arrived at the East Palace one after the other, and Pang Chu followed closely behind Gu Chengyu with small steps.Looking at Gu Chengyu who was striding ahead, Pang Chu was full of resentment.

"The next official, Gu Chengyu, is meeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

His Royal Highness raised his head from the memorial, "Gu Shaoqing came back from Jiangnan? This trip to Jiangnan has really worked hard for you."

Gu Chengyu didn't even dare to say, "Your Highness is too serious. To be able to share the worries of the emperor, and to share the worries for His Highness, is really the job of a lower official."

His Royal Highness put away the memorial in his hand, then stood up and looked out the window at the lotus pond that had begun to show signs of failure.

"In the past, I only regarded my father as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and he is the most honorable person in the world. Not to mention doing whatever I want, but I can also decide many things by myself. But since my father fell ill some time ago, my palace It is only after handling the government affairs on behalf of the emperor temporarily that he realizes that as an emperor, he will also have a lot of helplessness."

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows. Is this his sincere emotion after acting as the emperor to oversee the country?But in his opinion, this is completely moaning and hypocrisy.

Who in this world can do what they want?As an emperor, he was actually far better than ordinary people. At least he didn't have to worry about making a living all day long.

Furthermore, even if the emperor is very tired and exhausted every day, will the crown prince give up the throne he is about to obtain?Will he cede the throne to other brothers?
The answer is no, even though they know that it is not easy to be an emperor, they may die young, but these princes still flock to him.

Who can forsake this supreme power?Seeing those officials prostrate at his feet, the emperor must be filled with excitement and an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"Your Majesty has a lot of work to do every day, so it's hard work. Those who are capable will work harder. For the sake of the common people, the Emperor and you have an inescapable responsibility."

Gu Chengyu picked a few official words, he couldn't say that if you feel tired, why not replace the crown prince with someone else?

The prince turned to look at Gu Chengyu, saw Gu Chengyu's serious face, and then smiled.

Fortunately, the prince may have been tired of reviewing the memorials, or he was annoyed by a disobedient minister in the court.After a few words of emotion just now, he naturally changed the subject.

"You did a good job in the Jiangnan disaster relief this time. You did not magnify the harm of this matter, and controlled the development of the situation in a short period of time. You have contributed a lot."

Speaking of this, the prince couldn't help showing a smile on his face.Gu Chengyu is still at ease when he is doing business.

"Your Highness is absurd, Master Hu also contributed a lot, and this is not due to the meritorious officials alone." Gu Chengyu did not dare to take the credit alone, Hu Maoshen did contribute a lot, and the credit of others cannot be erased like this.

"Master Hu's contribution, I naturally understand!"

"Your Highness, I heard that the emperor's dragon body is not in good condition recently. I wonder if he has recovered now?"

Gu Chengyu had just returned to Beijing, and he still expected the emperor to summon him, so of course he had to take care of the emperor's health.

"Before, I fainted suddenly. Not long after I was carried to the bedroom, my father woke up, and now I am fine. But the imperial doctor told my father to take more rest. I was still too tired before."

Gu Chengyu nodded, that's all these imperial physicians can say.The emperor made it clear that he had great trust in that Taoist priest Tianji, and the imperial doctors had no evidence.
