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

Chapter 579 Is there a good plan?

"I thank the emperor for giving me the seat!" Gu Chengyu did not expect that the emperor would give him the seat today.

His Shangfeng is still kneeling outside, but he is sitting in the imperial study, this feeling is really strange!
Besides, the chief assistant, Xia Qing, will be here soon. When Xia Qing comes, will the emperor grant him a seat?
If not, then it would be unreasonable for him to sit with a small official of the sixth rank while a dignified official of the first rank stands?
As soon as Gu Chengyu thought about it, he felt as if his butt was on pins and needles.

"Gu Aiqing, from what you said, you read a lot of books on weekdays, but you have covered a wide range of books. What's even more rare is that you still remember them all!"

Looking at these memorials, the emperor felt a little worried, so he simply pushed them aside and started talking to Gu Chengyu.

Young people are energetic, talking to Gu Chengyu, the emperor only feels happy physically and mentally, as if he is much younger.

"Back to the emperor, I have a pretty good memory. If you read it twice, you won't be able to forget it."

Gu Chengyu's words are a bit modest, he only needs to read it once and he can remember it pretty well, and after reading it twice, he can record it deeply in his mind.

Of course, if you don't review it in the past few years, you will forget it.After a year or so, I have to read it twice again to consolidate it.

"Oh? So you still have a photographic memory?" The emperor suddenly became interested, this Gu Chengyu is really talented.

"Back to the emperor! I don't dare to take it as a photographic memory. I still have to read it twice before I can remember it." Gu Chengyu stood up respectfully and replied.

He was a little uncertain, the emperor called Xia Qing over, but he refused to let him go back, and even gave him a seat, what does it mean?
It seems that he has nothing to do here, and the booklet is naturally ordered by the emperor, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Then what is he still doing in the imperial study?But the emperor didn't speak, and even gave him a seat, and chatted with him.

He hesitated a little, whether to ask for resignation, or continue to wait for Xia Qing to come over.

The emperor chatted with Gu Chengyu for a few more words, and they were in a good mood!Only then did he take the memorial on the table and read it again.

Just looking at it, it was some trivial matter, and the emperor couldn't help being angry again.

The memorials sent by the cabinet in the past few days are mostly trivial matters.He glanced at the proposal attached to the memorial, thinking that instead of following the proposal of the cabinet, he would approve it himself, so as to strengthen the cabinet's spirit.

However, he really couldn't bear it these few days.I was already in poor health, and I had to get out of the way with the cabinet, which made me suffer a bit.

Gu Chengyu saw that the emperor was frowning, and knew that he was worried about the memorial.I don't know if it was something troublesome about the memorial, or because of the mountain of memorials on the table.

Gu Chengyu couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion, it seems that life as an emperor is not easy.

In the previous life, I often saw that the emperors in the history books were exhausted, and they often reviewed the memorials until late at night, so the emperors generally did not live long.

Of course, there are also those who make hands-free showcases, but such dynasties generally don't last long.

Not to mention those licentious and immoral people who only seek pleasure are all goods of subjugation.

"Gu Aiqing! Tell me, in this court, are those ministers always lying to me?"

The emperor leaned his back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and began to meditate, with no expression on his face.

But what he said shocked Gu Chengyu, he quickly stood up and said: "Back to the emperor, those ministers have eaten the heart of a leopard, how dare they lie to the emperor? You are the king of a country, and the affairs of the world have never Is there anything you don't know?"

Gu Chengyu didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked this question, did the emperor realize that the court officials were hiding something from him?
Although Xia Qing is very powerful, the emperor always has a few confidants, right?Otherwise, the emperor would have been pushed aside by Xia Qing long ago.

Even though he is under the control of the cabinet now, the emperor is not helpless!

"Hmph! I think those people want me to abdicate and give way to the virtuous. Is this to see if I am old?"

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at Gu Chengyu.The unwillingness, anger, and helplessness hidden deep in his eyes shocked Gu Chengyu.

He quickly stood up and knelt down, even Xiao Quanzi was so frightened that he fell to his knees.The emperor said so, which shows how serious the anger in his heart is.

"The emperor calm down!" Gu Chengyu didn't know how to persuade him. In fact, the most fundamental reason was that the emperor was old and his energy was no longer what it used to be. Naturally, those courtiers had to make plans for the future.

"You don't dare, but they dare! Gu Aiqing, tell me, is there any way to let me know if they are sincere to me?"

The emperor leaned forward, waved Xiao Quanzi out of the imperial study room, and asked him to guard the door, so that he could not disturb him until he opened his mouth to call in, then looked at Gu Chengyu who was kneeling on the ground.

There was a trace of bitterness at the corner of Gu Chengyu's mouth, sure enough!It would be no good to keep him.

The general will give him back the seat!Now I am afraid that he will have to kneel to answer, if he can't answer or the emperor is not satisfied, then what will happen will depend on the emperor's mood.

But the current situation is very obvious, the emperor's mood is very bad.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, what the emperor meant was that he could not fully control the officials in the court now.Asking this is just to save some face for him!

As for the memorials presented by the cabinet every day, who can guarantee that they are complete?

Quite a few of those memorials were returned every day, and some of them entered the cabinet.

What the emperor wants is nothing more than to know the big and small things in the capital and the place, so that he can better control the court.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the memorial on the table, and suddenly had an idea.

He glanced carefully at the emperor, and found that the emperor was staring at him, waiting for his reply.

He also knew that the emperor wanted to test him, the matter of Min Feng just now was not a big deal in the eyes of the emperor, this was the highlight.

If he answers well today and satisfies the emperor, he will have a better life in the future.Otherwise, after today, the emperor will not care about his life or death.

"The minister and other officials are loyal to the emperor, and the minister is looking forward to sharing the emperor's worries and labors. I will devote myself to you in the future, and I will die."

Of course, it was impossible for Gu Chengyu to tell the solution so quickly, it was too easy to get, the emperor should not take it seriously, naturally he had to show his loyalty first.

When the emperor heard it, it was as expected by Gu Chengyu, with a somewhat impatient expression on his face.

He frowned, and then thought that Gu Chengyu had just entered the officialdom, so he couldn't think of any good way.

Those old ministers are all old foxes, Gu Chengyu is still immature!Naturally, he couldn't beat them because his expectations were too high.

"Actually, it's not impossible," Gu Chengyu said hesitantly.

"Oh? Gu Aiqing has a good plan? Then let's hear it!" The emperor was a little disappointed at first, but when he heard that Gu Chengyu really had a plan, hope burst out in his eyes.

The emperor's drooping eyes suddenly widened, and he sat up straight, which showed that he cared about Gu Chengyu's words.
