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

Chapter 1183 Refused to go to the border

"There is one more thing, this time the official also caught the escaped Zhou Yuancong!"

"Oh? Seriously? That's great! Where is he now?" Even with such a calm temperament, the prince couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Yuancong must have been instigated by others this time, so he dared to rebel.Otherwise, with his small number of people, he wants to make waves?That is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

There are many imperial guards and dark guards around the prince, and Gu Chengyu felt that Zhou Yuancong's ability was probably not enough to take the prince down in one fell swoop.

"I have been imprisoned in Dali Temple together with the assassin. The lower officials think that it is better to interrogate the master behind this person earlier, so as to save night and dream."

The crown prince naturally knew this truth, he thought for a while and said: "You and I go to interrogate those assassins and Zhou Yuancong, and you must find out who is behind them."

The prince's eyes were shining brightly, he hoped to hear the answer he wanted from Zhou Yuan's mouth this time.

Gu Chengyu nodded quickly, yes, he really wanted to interrogate those assassins.After all, senior brother is still at the border, if there is any change in Daxing, the border will definitely bear the brunt.

"Let's go!" The prince took a few steps forward, then seemed to think of something, and looked back at Gu Chengyu.

"Master Gu! I see that you are good at martial arts, and it is no problem to fight one against a hundred. In recent years, Daxing has repeatedly harassed the border, and his heart can be punished. However, this dynasty has no battle-tested generals to resist, so that Daxing's ambition It's getting bigger and bigger. When the emperor's grandfather fought in the country, he was surrounded by advisers, and this is how the great country is now."

"But when it was the turn of the father to guard the country, most of our famous generals in Dayan were gone. Now, even if there are still strong generals, they are only a handful of them. Therefore, I have been worrying about this matter for the past few days. "

The prince frowned slightly, looking at Gu Chengyu's calm face, heaved a sigh.

Gu Chengyu's heart sank, what does this mean?Do you want him to guard the border?

There was an instant silence in the hall, but the crown prince didn't see anything unusual from Gu Chengyu's face, not even surprised. Could it be that Gu Chengyu knew about this a long time ago?
In fact, Gu Chengyu was really surprised at this moment. How could he receive the news so quickly since he was busy last night?

It's just that he doesn't like to show his thoughts on his face, and what he's thinking about now is who brought up this matter.

Xia Qing has already been imprisoned in Dali Temple, and his followers have gone into hiding for fear of being implicated, how dare they come out and jump around?

He pondered for a while, and then thought of several big families in the capital today.He also knew that because of his existence, the way of those civil servants was blocked.

It's just that he still wants to be promoted now, how can he take care of others?

If he has become a first-rank official today, then he doesn't mind keeping a low profile.But before that, in order to quickly improve the grade, it was natural not to keep a low profile.

Those who can make such suggestions are nothing more than those few senior officials in the DPRK.Those with low grades dare not oppose him.

Those people made a good plan and wanted him to leave the capital so as not to hinder them.

Gu Chengyu sneered in his heart, the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, Daxing is still eyeing him, these people actually started to eliminate dissidents.

It is necessary to know that under the overturned nest, there is no complete egg.Now that Daxing has broken into the palace, are these people not worried at all?

Only when the dynasty is stable, can officials like them enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth.Why is everyone's vision so narrow, and they only know how to stare at the three-acre land in the court?
"Master Gu, as you can see, Dayan is not peaceful now. If there is no strong general to deter Daxing, our Dayan is in danger!"

After the prince finished speaking, he sighed deeply again, retracted the steps he had just taken, turned around and sat in front of the desk.

"His Royal Highness! There are countless people with high martial arts skills in this world. After you ascend the throne, you will amnesty the world and add martial arts. At that time, your highness will not let you choose the heroes of the world? The emperor was not in good spirits in the past, and this martial arts is not good. Although it is great Yan puts more emphasis on literature than military, but the peace of the border must still be managed by these generals."

Gu Chengyu had a smile on his face, but he didn't feel any displeasure.

The prince also knows that this matter is a bit difficult for others, Gu Chengyu's political achievements are not small, how could he abandon literature and pursue martial arts?
In fact, he didn't need to ask Gu Chengyu what he meant. After ascending the throne, he would be the Ninth Five-Year Master.If Gu Chengyu was forced to go to the border, would Gu Chengyu dare to resist the order and fail to comply?

It's just that he is still the prince now, and his father's confession to Gu Chengyu before his death is like a sharp sword hanging above his head, so he can't push Gu Chengyu into a hurry.

What's more, Gu Chengyu's strategy is extraordinary, and he will have to rely on him a lot in the future.

"Your suggestion is indeed good, but looking at the situation at the border now, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until then. It's the middle of winter, and the people of Daxing are suffering from hunger and cold, so they must have been eyeing the people at the border for a long time. Besides, this time Daxing dared to send so many assassins to our territory, there must be some big conspiracy brewing."

The prince looked at Gu Chengyu expectantly, hoping that Gu Chengyu would take the initiative to help him solve his problems.

"Your Highness! I have been educated since I was five years old, and I have been studying for ten years in order to become an official through the imperial examination. You also know that my mother was born as a maidservant, and she is often saddened by this. Since I was studying, I have sworn to myself, One day, I must let my mother wear the phoenix crown and Xiapei, this is the filial piety that a son of man should do."

Gu Chengyu suddenly mentioned his mother's background, which made the prince stunned.Later, when he saw Gu Chengyu's calm face, he felt a little relieved.

A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, and a dog doesn't think his family is poor.It turned out that Gu Chengyu's imperial examination into an official position was also due to his mother's reasons.

The prince nodded, "Master Gu is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, this is the filial piety that should be done. There are many superficial people in the world, so you don't need to pay attention to such villains who follow power."

"Your Highness is right! In fact, Xiaguan Xiwu was better than Xiwen at that time, but my mother often said that if she became that general, she would not be able to return home for decades, so what should she do if she misses her son? But let her leave her hometown, and she will never return home." If you don't want to, it's really hard to leave your homeland. The lower officials have no choice but to abandon martial arts and follow literature."

Gu Chengyu also sighed slightly, as if he still had some regrets about what happened back then.

The prince was stunned, it turned out that the purpose of going around in circles was to use filial piety to suppress him.

"Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and the goods belong to the emperor's family. No matter whether you study literature or martial arts, you will serve the court in the end. The lower officials should share the worries of His Royal Highness, but they have no choice but to be filial. I really can't bear to refute my mother's wishes." , Your Highness, please forgive me."

Gu Chengyu showed a look of embarrassment on his face, he knew that the prince would not persecute him too much, after all, the prince has not yet ascended to the throne of God!

The reason for the refusal is just passable on the surface, so who else would ask Mr. Lu if he can't do it?
Loyalty and filial piety have been difficult since ancient times, although according to the righteousness, it is natural to choose to be loyal.It's just that he also said just now that his mother doesn't want him to be a military officer, so he shouldn't be too forceful, right?It is not that the Dayan Dynasty has no generals.
