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

Chapter 558 The Royal Gift
Gu Chengyu is just a petty official at present, and De'an is actually being polite to him because of the emperor's face.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu had just won the emperor's attention, but he didn't show anything on his face, De'an couldn't help but nodded secretly.This Mr. Gu is young, but he can hold his breath.

"Master Gu is really young and promising, with a bright future!"

Hearing this, Gu Chengyu quickly observed De'an's expression carefully, and saw that it seemed to be ironic, but it seemed that he wanted to make friends with him.He couldn't help muttering in his heart, it seems that the emperor looked at him differently today, even the chief eunuch also looked sideways at him.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, he already has a lot of limelight, if he comes out like this again today, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will focus on him even more.The faction officials headed by Xia Qing will definitely attack him.

It turned out that he was not reused by Zhang Hai, and his life was quite miserable, and those people only cared about his jokes.However, now that the emperor has pushed him to the forefront, would those people still stand by and let him be proud?
It seems that he has to be more cautious recently, but he is not afraid of the troubles that are coming. Soldiers come to block them, and water comes to cover them up.

As for the emperor's purpose, he had an idea in his mind.Maybe the emperor wanted to support him and let him fight against Xia Qing.However, the emperor still doesn't know his real talent and strategy, so naturally he needs to investigate him first to see if he has the ability to provoke the leader.

As for why he didn't find those aristocratic families, it might be because his foundation is superficial and easy to handle, right?

Therefore, he had to think carefully about how to deal with these minions of Xia Qing next. This was the emperor's first test for him.

For the emperor, the person who is against Xia Qing can be changed at any time.If he doesn't show some real skills, the emperor will naturally abandon him and look for the next target, and he will sadly become a victim of this political game.

Although this is just Gu Chengyu's guess, Gu Chengyu is [-]% sure that his thinking is right.Otherwise, there is no way to explain how much the emperor has always valued him.

Even though his talent and age are part of the advantage, it is not surprising that these conditions make the emperor value him a little bit, but it is a bit too much to summon him alone, have a good chat with him, and even bestow the four treasures of the study .

There was no shortage of talented people in the Dayan Dynasty, but these were of no help to survival in the officialdom.Don't you see, which of those senior officials in the court is from the background of Zhuangyuanlang?Aren't they all from Jinshi who ranked last in the imperial examination?

Those champions were indeed talented, but in the end, they were all wiped out.It can be seen from this that talent can only be regarded as icing on the cake after entering the imperial court!
The thoughts in Gu Chengyu's mind turned, don't look at a lot of miscellaneous thoughts, but it was all in a flash.

He looked at De'an who was smiling at him, and hurriedly said modestly: "Eunuch Chen is absurd, I am still a small official from the sixth rank now! I am flattered to be summoned by the emperor. I didn't expect the emperor to be sympathetic." The official also gave me the Four Treasures of the Study. Eunuch Chen, stop making fun of me, otherwise people will misunderstand me as frivolous."

Gu Chengyu showed a shy face, and was very embarrassed by De'an's praise.

But he was thinking in his heart, such a promising thing can be said at this moment?It was just summoned alone, and the emperor bestowed a set of the Four Treasures of the Study!
This is what he used when he was writing Cipai just now. Of course, the emperor would not use what he used, and it is normal to reward him casually.Otherwise, it can only be thrown away or rewarded, isn't that a waste?
De'an can praise him, but he has to be humble, and he has a bright future!This is far from being promoted and getting rich!
"Your Majesty Gu is too humble, but the emperor still said that he would talk to you often!" De'an smiled, and then saw Xiao Quanzi coming out of the imperial study.

A strange expression suddenly appeared on his face, he paused, and called out "Xiao Quanzi!"

Xiao Quanzi hurriedly greeted the two of them, "Master Gu, the emperor asked our family to send you back to the Imperial Academy."

Both Gu Chengyu and De'an were stunned, and then Gu Chengyu smiled and said, "Then I will trouble you, Eunuch Quan!"

Gu Chengyu guessed that the emperor might have asked Xiao Quanzi to go in, and told Zhang Hai that he participated in the "Da Yan Hui Dian", so he asked Xiao Quanzi to send him back to the Imperial Academy.Since it was the emperor's will, of course Gu Chengyu could not refuse.

After Gu Chengyu and the others said goodbye to De'an, they went to the Hanlin Academy.

De'an looked at the backs of the two, his eyes flickered, and he snorted coldly.Xiao Quanzi would see the needles, and the emperor often asked Xiao Quanzi to handle errands recently, and De'an felt that his position was about to be shaken.This time, he saw the right moment and went to Mr. Gu's side. What does this little Quan want to do?
De'an took a last look at the backs of the two of them, then shook the whisk in his hand, bowed his waist, turned around and walked towards the imperial study.

Holding the Four Treasures of the Study in his hand, Gu Chengyu followed Xiao Quanzi forward.With the four treasures of the study bestowed by the emperor, those who want to trip him should also weigh it.Although it might be brought to the forefront and used by the emperor as a pawn to contain Xia Qing, Gu Chengyu is not afraid.

What about being used?This shows that he still has the value of being used.Who among these officials of the imperial court was not being used?Aren't they all working for the emperor?

Learn literary and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family.This is the ultimate goal of most of their scholars. Those who are indifferent to fame and fortune are not without exception, but he is not one of them.

"Xiao Quanzi would also like to congratulate Mr. Gu for receiving the reward from the emperor. The emperor attaches great importance to Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu's promotion is just around the corner!" Xiao Quanzi congratulated Gu Chengyu by cupping his hands.

"Excuse me, Mr. Quan, it's a pity that I have just entered the Imperial Academy, and it's too early to be promoted!" Gu Chengyu looked at the room in the Imperial Academy in front of him, and quickened his pace. up.

"Mr. Gu, it's better to call our family Xiao Quanzi. This father-in-law is called Quan. He is a lot unfamiliar with Baibai, so it is better to call Xiao Quanzi more kind." Xiao Quanzi knew that Mr. Gu would definitely be reused by the emperor. Er is sparing no effort to get close.

"That's unavoidable. Eunuch Quan is a big celebrity next to the emperor!" Gu Chengyu didn't remember having such a good friendship with Eunuch Quan. Even if he wanted to get closer, it was the first time they met today, so he couldn't be too serious. impatient.

Who knows if Xiao Quanzi was bought by any faction?Otherwise, how could you be so enthusiastic about him?He didn't want to get involved with some prince somehow.He hasn't decided which prince to support, he can only be a pure minister at present.

And wait for him to have more contact with this person in the future, if his back is clean, then communicate more and give him more convenience.

Xiao Quanzi didn't force himself when he heard the words, he was not familiar with Gu Chengyu before, so it was only natural for Gu Chengyu to be on guard against him.
