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

Chapter 1193
"Why did the lord say that? His Royal Highness will not persecute the humble ministers, but will ask the subordinate officials, which is just to save the subordinate officials a little bit of shame! Whether they are going to guard the border, the subordinate officials should obey the new emperor's arrangement."

As for the last words, Gu Chengyu skipped it.It seems that Prince Jing is anxious to see him today, and there are also factors in this aspect.

As soon as he left the teahouse today, he saw a somewhat familiar figure. It was the waiter who served them in the teahouse on the way to Jiangnan last time.

After a little deliberation, Gu Chengyu understood that the master behind the scenes was either Prince Jing or Prince Gong.

Today, as soon as this person wandered around in front of the teahouse, he was sure that the master behind this person was King Jing.Because Prince Jing behaved like this, if Prince Gong changed, he might just ask someone to invite him over.

After all, Prince Jing is prudent and scheming, and there is a deep meaning behind everything he does.He likes to beat around the bush very much, and the chain tricks are one after another, and the people who get along with him should be more thoughtful.

As for Prince Gong, because his mother is Concubine Jing, in this harem, Concubine Jing is second only to the Queen, which shows that her status is not low.

Furthermore, the emperor especially loved Prince Gong, and thought that this son's temperament was the most like him, so he developed Prince Gong's arrogant and arrogant temperament.

Two different dispositions, so the style of doing things is also completely different.Gu Chengyu came to meet tonight because he also needed to see Prince Jing.

Xindi?Prince Jing's eyes couldn't help but brighten up, sure enough!Gu Chengyu was not satisfied with his second brother.

"Mr. Gu's literary and military strategies are all extraordinary, and he is not afraid of other people's schemes. However, those villains often jump around in front of Mr. Gu, and it is always a bit annoying to watch. Mr. Gu, I am very thirsty for talents. He respects Master Gu. But the second elder brother has many supporters, so he probably doesn’t value Master Gu that much, does he? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked you today if you would like to guard the border.”

In fact, Prince Jing's intention for saying this is very clear. Judging from today's performance, it can be seen how much the crown prince values ​​Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu lowered his eyes, he naturally understood this truth, but so what?Generations of emperors are all ruthless people. After the emperor ascends the throne, how many of those heroes can stay to enjoy the glory and wealth?
Take the queen's natal family as an example, how is the Lang family doing now?Even the iron coupons of the Danshu that were bought with the lives of so many people back then, didn't they also fail to keep?

And Prince Jing treated him so submissively today, but if this one becomes a great treasure in the future, can he still guarantee that he will be treated like this today?The answer is naturally no.

Gu Chengyu has always only recognized one truth, you still have value to use, so you won't be rejected.And in the eyes of these princes who seized the throne, he was just a pawn!
But now he doesn't want to obediently be a pawn, he naturally has to think for himself.In the end, whoever can ascend to the throne of God and who can do it for a long time will be a matter of the future. It is too early to think about these things now.

Who said he could only recognize one person as his allegiance?No matter who he chooses, he will not let the other party eliminate the threats one by one. Only in this way can he rest easy.

"My lord said so much, it's nothing more than wanting the lower officials to turn against me! But it's a pity that the lower officials are only loyal to the emperor and don't want to participate in these battles. The prince is the orthodox heir of the country, and the lower officials naturally want to be His Royal Highness. effective."

"Oh! Master Gu means that no matter who wins the throne in the end, Master Gu will try his best to assist you?"

Prince Jing was thoughtful, this Gu Chengyu was really tricky.To put it bluntly, it means that whoever is the emperor is no different from him.

It's just that saying this is self-contradictory.Gu Chengyu is working for the crown prince right now, and wants to get out of the way without getting a single leaf on his body?This idea is too naive.

"This is the duty of a courtier."

"Master Gu must be busy with official duties in recent days, and I don't want to waste Mr. Gu's time. Let me ask you one last time, how can Mr. Gu help me? What conditions do you have? Just ask for it, as long as I can do it." If you arrive, you will definitely not refuse."

King Jing understood what Gu Chengyu meant, and it seemed that Gu Chengyu was not loyal to his second brother, and now he was working for his second brother because his second brother was the prince, that's all.

Gu Chengyu looked at Prince Jing and chuckled, "My lord has always understood his sincerity, but do you know why my lord refuses to agree to help you?"

Looking at Gu Chengyu's indifferent expression, Prince Jing was silent for a moment before saying: "It's simply because the foundation of this king is too shallow, there is no family support behind him, and there are not many officials in the court who support this king. Now he is driven away by the emperor again." In the barren land of Fengqing Mansion, the possibility of success is not high."

After finishing speaking, Prince Jing chuckled lightly, with a bit of bitterness unavoidably mixed in the smile.

"Yes, and no!" Gu Chengyu took the teapot and poured another bowl for the prince.

Prince Jing was a little surprised, what does this mean?
"My lord is very strategic, this kind of perseverance and resourcefulness, there are only a handful of people in this court who can stand shoulder to shoulder with my lord. However, it is my lord who is too thoughtful. When calculations have become a habit, people will sincerely treat you. I have doubts. Maybe those who only know how to obey orders will not think so much, but as long as there is a gap in the chest, they are afraid of being calculated by the prince."

For a person like Prince Jing who takes one step at a time and counts three steps at a time, it is too tiring to be on guard against being tricked by him all the time when you are with him.

He likes to calculate too much, and he loses some sincerity in dealing with others.The prince apologized to Gu Chengyu just now, which made Gu Chengyu wonder if he had any other purpose.

Once you have been calculated too much, you will not trust this person easily.

King Jing was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Gu Chengyu to reject him for this reason.

But he smiled wryly afterward, "If I didn't plan and plan, I'm afraid I would have been dismantled and eaten long ago."

Then he suddenly sneered and said, "Master Gu, don't you think you are the same as this king? It is said that this king likes to plot, what about you? You are scheming people, what day are you not scheming?"

Gu Chengyu raised his head to look at King Jing, he was speechless for a while, and then the two of them looked at each other speechlessly.

What the hell, he actually thinks what Prince Jing said makes sense!Isn't he calculating every day when he closes his eyes and opens them?

But so what?When two people who like to calculate come together, it is impossible to get along so harmoniously.

"Regardless of Master Gu's intentions, this king is still willing to sell Master Gu's favor. After all, even if the alliance fails today, it may not be impossible in the future."

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, what did Prince Jing think of?

"The assassin who assassinated the prince, Master Gu, the mastermind behind the scenes, hasn't been caught yet?" Prince Jing smiled mysteriously.

"Indeed, never, does the prince know who that person is?"
