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

Chapter 598

"My subordinate Gu Chengyu has met Master Zhang!" Gu Chengyu entered the room, looked at Zhang Hai who was sorting out the classics in front of him, and carefully observed the expression on his face.

"Hmm! Have you finished proofreading the memorandum?" Zhang Hai didn't raise his head, and only asked about the memo.

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he felt that his whole body was not well.He had already edited half of that memoir, but Zhang Hai had told him before that he would be given four days, and now it has only been one day. Could it be that Zhang Hai is really planning to make things difficult for him.

As soon as these words came out, not only Gu Chengyu felt bad, but even Zhang Hai was a little embarrassed.

In fact, his original intention was to find a topic to start, so as not to prevent Gu Chengyu from prejudice against him.He himself was a little embarrassed to talk about the prologue at the beginning.

"Responding to my lord's words, not yet! The four days you said, the official has only edited three volumes today!"

Gu Chengyu didn't want to tell Zhang Hai the real progress, lest Zhang Hai assign him more work.

"Cough! Don't rush, don't rush, just take your time to revise! I called you here today because of the preface."

Zhang Hai finished sorting out the book history in his hands, sat down in front of the book case, and motioned Gu Chengyu to sit opposite him.

This move made Gu Chengyu very puzzled, and he was a little uncertain about Master Zhang's meaning.Don't you want to embarrass him?
"I promised you before that I would not take your credit, but in the end I broke my promise. Although I have my own difficulties, breaking my promise is breaking my promise, and I am really ashamed to do such a thing that takes credit for you. This officer is here to accompany Gu Xiuzhuan!"

Gu Chengyu was really surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Hai to talk about this matter to him so openly.

And things were as he expected, but Zhang Hai had difficulties.

Seeing Zhang Hai's sincere expression and apologetic eyes, Gu Chengyu couldn't help being startled.

In fact, Zhang Hai didn't explain to him, and he couldn't do anything to Zhang Hai, at least not for the time being.

Zhang Hai is a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and he still plans to stay in the Imperial Academy for the past two years, so Zhang Hai cannot be offended severely.

Otherwise, life in the Imperial Academy would be very difficult.

"Your Excellency is serious, and the officials are terrified!" It is rare to be able to say these words, no matter what Zhang Hai's purpose is!
After all, Zhang Hai is Shangfeng, is there any Shangfeng above the court who can apologize to the subordinate officials?

If another official is changed, what will happen if you are used?What happened to taking credit for you?How dare you be dissatisfied with him?
Seeing Gu Chengyu's frightened look, Zhang Hai couldn't help but secretly nodded.

No matter what Gu Chengyu thinks in his heart, at least he can't see any dissatisfaction with him on the surface.

After sizing up Dayanchao, the youngest official, Zhang Hai had to admit it.Some people are born with unique blessings, even if they are not given a good family background, such a person only needs to put in a little effort, and he will be rewarded hundreds of times and thousands of times.

This son is talented and intelligent, and he is not inferior to those old officials who are powerful in the court in terms of conduct and strategy.

"Since this official has done something wrong, it is right to tell you that you are not right. In the future, if you encounter any embarrassing things in the Imperial Academy, just come to this official. Other yamen dare not say it. , and no one dares to disobey my orders.”

This was really unexpected, Gu Chengyu did not expect Zhang Hai to make such a promise.What this means is that he can walk sideways in the Hanlin Academy in the future?

"However, this officer is the one who can't tolerate sand in his eyes the most. If you work diligently, I will try my best to deal with things fairly. But if you stir up wind and rain in the Hanlin Academy, don't blame this officer for being merciless Now, when the time comes, I must go to the emperor to read a book for you."

Gu Chengyu twitched his mouth when he heard that, okay!He thought too much, Zhang Hai was fairly fair to the subordinates, but he didn't like these people who had backgrounds and didn't do things seriously.

Of course, except for the purpose of the preface to this meeting, this incident can be regarded as a major failure in Zhang Hai's career as an official.

It was heard that Zhang Hai was warning him not to be arrogant in the Imperial Academy just because the emperor liked him.In the future, I still have to be a low-key person and do things high-key.

"My lord, please don't worry, I will be more diligent in the future, and I will solve my worries and problems for my lord."

Gu Chengyu immediately replied respectfully, he didn't expect Zhang Hai to be partial to him, and it was impossible for him to come to Zhang Hai after being treated unfairly.

Zhang Hai is very satisfied with Gu Chengyu's attitude, neither arrogant nor impatient, but this child has a calm temperament.

"I ask you, that day in the imperial study, why didn't you just expose what I and Min Feng said?" Zhang Hai stroked the beard on his chin and asked suspiciously.

Gu Chengyu changed his mind, this is a good time to flatter him!
"Return to my lord! This matter has already involved my lord, how can I tell the whole story? Since my lord entered the Hanlin Academy, my lord has taken good care of my lord, and my lord has also guessed in my heart that my lord must have some difficulties. Outsiders have passed on Your Excellency is upright and acts justly, so how can you collude with others?"

Gu Chengyu glanced at Mr. Zhang, and found that Mr. Zhang's face was slightly pale, so he knew that this trick would work.

Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, flattery does not wear, this is an eternal law.

He continued: "Besides, facts speak louder than words. Even if I don't say anything, everyone here doesn't understand? Even Min Feng knows it well, so why should I put the emperor and your lord in trouble?"

Gu Chengyu said a few more truthful words, "Besides, Min Feng was the same year as the official. He did something wrong, and the official can't completely forget the old feelings. There must be room for it. I also want to give him this time. An opportunity, in the future, I only hope that he can take care of himself."

Once Zhang Hai heard Gu Chengyu's words, he looked at Gu Chengyu again.

Regardless of whether Gu Chengyu really thinks so in his heart, it is undeniable that these words make people feel very comfortable.

Such a person has talent, strategy, and eloquence, so why worry about not being able to rise to the top in the future?
Even if no one promotes him in the officialdom, he can climb to a high position by himself.

"You are kind, and you act like a gentleman! You also know how to leave room for things, not bad!"

Zhang Hai nodded, and couldn't help but sigh, there really are such beautiful people in this world.

Whose family has such a child, I am afraid that the mouth will smile crookedly.

The children of those aristocratic families have invited famous teachers to teach them since they were young, and they have devoted themselves to studying for many years, but they are not as good as the people in front of them.

"Your Excellency's absurd praise! In fact, the lower officials are only thinking of themselves! But you can't be praised by the adults. I'm afraid that you will be punished by the emperor, and you will come to wear small shoes for the lower officials."

Gu Chengyu's face was a little red, and he spoke out the little selfishness in his heart.

Zhang Hai was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, causing Qian Jianchao and others in the next room to look at each other in blank dismay.

Qian Yi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Mr. Zhang, who is usually rigorous, could have a happy conversation with Mr. Gu, and he didn't know what the two talked about.

Zhang Hai smiled and pointed at Gu Chengyu, "I'm not the kind of person who waits for a small belly, so don't worry."
