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

Chapter 825 Bring back the treasure map

If he said that he was already doing the finishing touches, wouldn't he offend those colleagues again?
Qiu Yifan, who shares the room with him, hasn't even finished half of it yet!It's just that Qiu Yifan's ritual volume is more complicated than his own.

"Oh? Then you have to hurry up, but I heard from Zhang Aiqing that you are quick in doing things. After you came back to sell your vacation, you devoted all your attention to compiling the canon, and you should have accomplished a lot."

The officials of the Hanlin Academy not only have to compile the canon, but also have a lot of other things. It is good to find an hour a day to compile.

Sometimes it is necessary to compile other book histories or write Zhu Wen, etc., without turning over the canon for several days.

Zhang Hai didn't give him any errands, he only sent him to compile the conference code, and didn't urge him to finish it.

Just thinking about it this way, Gu Chengyu felt that Zhang Hai was taking good care of him.

"You returned to the capital, did you hear about the assassination of the First Prince?"

The emperor just chatted casually just now, he didn't come to Gu Chengyu to chat about family matters.

Before Gu Chengyu came, he had already prepared the draft, the emperor would not ask him to chat for no reason.

He guessed that the emperor would definitely talk about this matter, the biggest thing that happened recently was the assassination of the eldest prince.

"Going back to the emperor, I have heard about it before. I didn't expect that in broad daylight, the world would be bright, and someone would assassinate the eldest prince. This is really emboldened, and the majesty of the royal family is nothing!" Gu Chengyu pretended to be filled with righteous indignation typical.

The emperor opened his mouth to prophesy, but he didn't want Gu Chengyu to continue to say: "But fortunately, His Highness the eldest prince has a good fortune, and finally saved the day."

The emperor glanced at Gu Chengyu when he heard the words, and suddenly smiled.

This Gu Chengyu is really pretending to be confused. Everyone knows that this is because of the establishment of the reserve. Would Gu Chengyu not understand?

"Then who do you think is going to assassinate the eldest prince?" The emperor turned around and asked calmly.

Gu Chengyu frowned slightly, "This? I really don't know, maybe they are some desperadoes!"

Gu Chengyu sighed inwardly, it really wasn't good for the emperor to call him here.This is a battle for the crown prince, what does it have to do with a little shrimp like him?
"Desperado? Well said!" The emperor sneered, looking at Gu Chengyu with dissatisfaction.

This Gu Chengyu is really talented, but his temper is too flexible.It is as slippery as a loach, and it is very difficult to handle.

Gu Chengyu's heart trembled, and his heart turned countless times. He didn't know what the emperor's purpose was to summon him today.
Just when Gu Chengyu was thinking about the emperor's intentions, the emperor sighed.

"Jinyu! It is said that there is no king in the world, but this desperado didn't pay attention to me. This time the eldest prince escaped, but next time? Will he be so lucky next time?" ?”

As soon as the emperor called his name, Gu Chengyu's heart skipped a beat.

Gu Chengyu also wanted to sigh, the emperor insisted on pretending to be ignorant about such an obvious matter, isn't it all your sons who did it?
"Your Majesty! If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Since you were born in the royal family, while enjoying the honor and wealth, you also have to bear the pain that ordinary people don't have to bear."

"Oh? If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight? This sentence is well said, and he is worthy of being the number one scholar with a literary talent!"

The emperor recited these words silently in his heart, and felt that these words couldn't be more appropriate for their royal family.

Even he had paid a high price to sit on this dragon chair back then.

When it was his sons' turn, they would naturally have to pay the price.

There is only one throne, everyone wants it, and if you want it, you have to fight for it yourself.

If he doesn't have this bit of ability, even if the throne is in his hands, he won't be able to sit firmly.

Since ancient times, the succession to the throne has been full of bloody storms, and who can successfully ascend the throne?

"If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow?" Gu Chengyu remembered a sentence from his previous life, and this sentence can also be applied here.

This is the survival of the fittest, it just depends on who can persist until the end.

The emperor couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, yes!He is really old and soft-hearted.

Seeing his sons start killing each other, he felt angry and heartbroken, but so what?Winner takes all, loser for Kou!
I also came here in the same way back then, so I should have a deeper understanding.

But now he has become a person like his father, an indecisive person, and he has never realized it.

The emperor frowned, closed his eyes, and slowly leaned back in the armchair.

Seeing this, De'an quickly rubbed the emperor's temples with his hands.

Gu Chengyu could feel the contradictions coming from the emperor's heart, such a tired and bewildered expression and tone all showed that the emperor was really entangled in choosing a candidate.

But the emperor has already missed the best time, the princes are old, and they are all in the prime of life.But the emperor was old and couldn't restrain his sons anymore.

Just like his father, it doesn't matter what happened before.But his father must have made a mistake when it came to treating his second brother.

His father is getting old, so he can't control his second brother anymore.

"A treasure map appeared in Hejian Mansion, do you know?"

Gu Chengyu was immersed in his own thoughts, who would have thought that the emperor would suddenly speak and talk about the treasure map.

He was surprised, how could the emperor know so quickly?Ma Zhihong only set off three days ago, and the fastest speed at this moment is just arriving at Hejian Mansion, how did the emperor know?

Could it be that the emperor sent another imperial envoy to Hejian Mansion, and this imperial envoy must have arrived earlier than Ma Zhihong, otherwise it is impossible to explain why he knew about it.

Unexpectedly, the treasure map has been found out, Gu Chengyu has to say that the imperial envoy is quite capable, but he doesn't know who it is from the court.

He was glad that he did not intervene, otherwise he would be discovered by the people sent by the emperor, and he might think that he was ambitious and wanted to change the country!
Gu Chengyu was only puzzled for a moment, and then quickly replied in surprise: "Treasure map? What kind of treasure map?"

He looked puzzled, and his surprised expression did not seem to be fake.

The emperor opened his eyes, stared at Gu Chengyu's face for a moment, and then looked away.

Gu Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief, this is the majesty of the emperor, which makes people feel stressed.

"It is said that it is Wang Mang's hidden treasure. Back then, Wang Mang searched for a lot of gold. The gold disappeared later, but now this treasure map has appeared. It has already attracted many families. They all swarmed like bees smelling the fragrance. They all flew away, including my son."

The emperor's old eyes were still sharp. When he said this, although there was a hint of helplessness in his tone, it was more anger.

"Is it really Wang Mang's treasure?" Gu Chengyu ignored the princes and only properly expressed his doubts about Wang Mang's treasure.

"That's right!" The emperor nodded, his face was a little uglier than before, but he looked at Gu Chengyu with a look of scrutiny.

"I want you to go to Hejian Mansion and bring back the treasure map!"
