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

Chapter 502
Looking at this deserted house now, it has lost popularity in the past few years, it seems that even the flowers and plants have lost their vitality, and the garden has shown signs of depression.

Before Liang Zhirui and the others left, of course they left someone behind in the mansion.There are gatekeepers, artisans who serve the flowers and plants, a few women who clean the house and one who is in charge.

These servants are waiting here now, and when they learned that the master

They were already looking forward to returning home.In the past few years, the deserted house has been guarded, day after day, even if it is carefully maintained, some parts of the house are not populated by people, and it is already difficult to maintain.

Gu Chengyu came back after eating in the Liang Mansion, and when he got back, he was thinking about how to arrange Guo Moruo and the others.Afterwards, he decided to ask Ming Mo to go there at night to ask Guo Moruo about their plans.As for Ji Fuqu, you can wait a few days and ask again.

"My lord! This time we stretched out our hands on the test list, isn't the emperor happy?" Qin's staff knew about the change of the test rankings, and the emperor even sent Tong Zhouyi off, and I don't know if Xia Qing was burned body.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Xia Qing's face darkened.In the early court, the emperor pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, took him inside, and gave him a severe reprimand.On the contrary, he was a little impatient, so Gu Chengyu couldn't move yet.

However, after all, the emperor still saved some face for him, and did not name and scold him in front of civil and military officials, but anyone could hear the clues in what he said.Xia Qing has never been warned by the emperor since he became the chief assistant, so he didn't expect to stumble on the test list this time.

Originally, he thought that the emperor would not remember Gu Chengyu, but he did not expect that the emperor not only remembered, but also had a deep impression.

"It's okay! It's just that he was warned a few times, so Gu Chengyu is considered lucky to be able to secure the throne of this meeting." Speaking of Gu Chengyu, he thought of Min Feng.

He is still optimistic about Min Feng, but Min Feng still has some youthful temperament, and he cares too much about temporary gains and losses.

He also heard about what happened in Tianxiang Pavilion last time.Then Gu Chengyu is indeed talented, and Min Feng has been a little depressed these few days after being compared to him.

What is the saying?There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.Even if Gu Chengyu is talented, is there no one in this world who is more talented than Gu Chengyu?
Of course there was, but it was just that they didn't come across it. For some romantic poems, Xia Qing became a bit dissatisfied with Min Feng.

"My lord! I think it's better for Gu Chengyu to take care of it earlier. This person is extremely talented. Judging from the two competitions with Min Feng, he is quite scheming. I'm afraid he will have great achievements in the court in the future."

Qin's staff had already heard about the two competitions between Min Feng and Gu Chengyu in Tianxiang Pavilion.Regarding the posting of couplets on Shili Pavilion, the pro-staff felt that Gu Chengyu should not be underestimated.There are many literati in Shiliting, and it is not shameful to stick them on the wall of the latrine, so they made a big name for it.

If Xia Qing can be the first assistant, will he not have a city in his heart?Of course he thought of this, but judging from this incident, Gu Chengyu had some scheming, but he still couldn't see how deep it was.He had never seen this person before, so he couldn't make wild guesses.

Listening to Min Feng's evaluation of Gu Chengyu and his narration of the incident, Gu Chengyu bumped into the Wenhui every time by accident, and didn't go there on purpose, and wrote the poems on the spot.

As for the urgent talent, even Min Feng admired him quite a bit, which was brought out in his words, but he didn't realize it.

"If the old man didn't feel that he was a threat, he wouldn't have thought of pulling him off the Huiyuan early. It's just that this person is getting more and more wings, and it will take a lot of trouble to deal with him again."

Having said that, Xia Qing was not worried.He has all the power in the government and the public, even if Gu Chengyu won the Jinshi, or even the number one scholar, he has to start from a small official, and he doesn't even have the qualification to let him take a look.

The Hanlin Academy must have at least three years of qualifications, which is the least.In the past three years, Min Feng can also help him up.

"For you, all you need to do to deal with Gu Chengyu is to say something. Naturally, someone in the court will make things difficult for him. There is no need to worry about it now. When he enters the court, he will be able to appreciate your great reputation. This is not just a talk. It's just Mr. Min's temperament needs to be broken up, the young man is a little impatient."

Xia Qing already had a plan in mind, so he brought Min Feng by his side to teach him.Before, Huang Junheng was only asked to take care of Min Feng, he was busy with government affairs and had no time to pay attention to him.

But now seeing that his temperament is not stable enough, he must take good care of him, after all, he is a person who is going to be accepted as a disciple.

"Well! I will take him to do things these few days and give him a good temper. You should teach him more and put more thought into it."

"Yes! My lord, since it is said that before Tong Zhouyi faced the saint, the second prince went to the imperial study and mentioned Gu Chengyu to the emperor. Do you want the spies in the second prince's house to investigate? Maybe Gu Chengyu has already taken refuge in the second prince .”

Qin's staff couldn't help secretly admiring that the matter of the imperial study in the palace could be known by the lord, which means that the spy of the lord has become the emperor's close servant, otherwise where did the news come from?

"The old man has asked the spies to pay attention, but the second prince has not left the mansion at all recently, and he has nothing to do with Gu Chengyu. However, it is said that a staff member in the mansion often likes to ask for flowers, and suddenly died on the bed of a dark girl Chang. It's kind of weird."

Xia Qing was a little skeptical about the death of that staff member, and the timing of his death was too coincidental.Although this staff member likes to have sex on weekdays, and often takes the medicine of tiger and wolf, it is not uncommon for him to die on the woman's belly.But dying at this juncture inevitably arouses suspicion.

Xia Qing couldn't help but think of that pale and handsome face, could it be his handwriting?

"The second prince has no relationship with Gu Chengyu, but he mentioned this person for no reason. Someone must have mentioned it in front of him. The dead staff member is the most suspected. It's a pity that the people behind him acted too fast and acted extremely decisively."

Xia Qing nodded, agreeing with Qin's staff.It's just that he has one more candidate in his mind than Qin's staff, and he is half sure that this person did it.

"That's right! My lord, now Concubine Xian is locked up and ordered not to leave Chenghua Palace, and the third prince's residence has not lifted the ban. What is the emperor thinking?"

The Qin staff's attitude towards the emperor was really unpredictable. If Wan Xuenian committed a crime, the third prince would be implicated. It was normal to receive some punishment, but being placed under house arrest would be a bit too much.

At the court meeting, he didn't mention anything about the third prince's lifting of the ban, and even when the courtiers asked, they said they would discuss it later.Could it be that the third prince just doesn't want to be seen by the emperor?He was almost catching up with the sick fourth prince.

Even the eldest prince was punished by the emperor, he was locked in the mansion for a month and could not leave the mansion, and all duties were suspended.

Nowadays, the Second Prince is in the same position. Those courtiers with shallow eyes have started to fawn over the Second Prince. This is the latest trend in the capital.
