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

Chapter 826 You Have Brains
"What?" Gu Chengyu was shocked when he heard the words, could the emperor be joking?

"Your Majesty! This humble official is just a servant of the Imperial Academy!"

Seeing the disbelieving expression on Gu Chengyu's face, the emperor felt amused in his heart, and his mood was much better than before.

"Of course I know that you are the attendant of the Imperial Academy, do you think I am old and can't even remember this?"

With a straight face, the emperor picked up the unfinished memorial on the royal case and continued to read it.

This is wrong!Why didn't the emperor follow the routine?Why is he, an official of the Hanlin Academy, going to join in the fun?
Isn't this something about Dali Temple?No matter how bad it is, just randomly order an official from the Inspectorate!
When will it be their turn for such a thing?Could it be that the other yamen are all decorations?
"Your Majesty! You also know that I'm just a civil servant. It's impossible for me to fight and kill them. This I can't do it either!"

Gu Chengyu didn't care whether the emperor knew about his martial arts practice or not. He took the imperial examination and became an official in order to enter the cabinet and become the chief assistant of the cabinet with one person under ten thousand.

He doesn't want to go to the front line, isn't that what military generals do?It has nothing to do with him.

"Who wants you to fight and kill?" The emperor gave Gu Chengyu a sideways glance, and seeing Gu Chengyu's bitter face, he inexplicably felt happier.

"Wouldn't it be more difficult not to fight and kill?" Gu Chengyu shook his head vigorously, firmly disagreeing.

"You have brains!" The emperor laughed and picked up the next memorial.

"Your majesty, brains alone are not enough! Look at the small body of this little minister, going to the Hejian Mansion is not enough to fill their teeth!"

Just kidding, he didn't want to take this muddy water.This kind of thing is thankless, if the princes know that he is involved in this matter, why not eat him alive?

This is pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth, and he will definitely not agree to it if it's not good.Nonsence!There are benefits and can not agree!

"Hmph! I used to think you were very courageous, how come you have become timid now?" The emperor threw the memorial on the table, and then snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty! You have self-knowledge, and this humble minister has no intentions and powerlessness! This humble minister is only a sixth-rank official, even if he goes to the Hejian Mansion, who will sell his face?"

Gu Chengyu smiled helplessly, and sighed deeply again.

"The official position of the humble official is low, and there is no one under him to use, so it is useless to go."

Gu Chengyu slammed his mouth, and felt that what he said was sincere.

"But you have a brain!" The emperor picked up the tea bowl on the imperial case, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

The corner of Gu Chengyu's mouth twitched, can we still have a good chat?
He took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, as you said just now, the princes have already participated in it, not to mention those aristocratic families. Didn't you already send Master Ma from Dali Temple? Then you will discuss this matter." Wouldn't it be a good time to hand it over to him?"

He didn't bother to care about this matter, since the treasure map has been known by the emperor, it's over the top.

He got the treasure map and had to hand it over to the emperor, and he offended those aristocratic families and princes.There are only disadvantages and no advantages, so why would he do it?
"If Ma Zhihong can accomplish this, why would I ask you to do it?"

To let Ma Zhihong go to Hejian Mansion, the emperor was trying to deceive his eyes.

Ma Zhihong estimated that he would even hide the treasure map, let alone bring it back.

Gu Chengyu's eyebrows twitched, it seemed that the emperor was very dissatisfied with Ma Zhihong.

It depends on how Ma Zhihong chooses, if Ma Zhihong chooses to hide, then what awaits him will only be demoted.

"Master Ma came to Hejian Mansion, and you got the news, Your Majesty, so you must have sent an imperial envoy to Hejian Mansion long ago, right? Why don't you ask the imperial envoy to bring back the treasure map and release the news that you know the treasure map?" Come out, those people will definitely offer the treasure map obediently."

The emperor sneered, "Wealth touches people's hearts. If these people are willing to hand it over obediently, how can I send an imperial envoy?"

Gu Chengyu smiled lightly, "Of course they are not happy if you let them hand it in like this. But if you give them enough benefits, they will definitely be overjoyed. Even if it is not in your hands, they will try their best to get it and dedicate it to you of."

In fact, what Gu Chengyu said was just decent words, these aristocratic families are easy to dismiss, but what about those princes?

Can they be willing?What benefits can tempt them?Unless it is the crown prince, or even the throne.

But no matter whether it is the crown prince or the throne, there is only one. If one is given, the others will not be satisfied.

Wouldn't it be too childish to say that whoever grabs the treasure map and presents it will be made the prince?

"I named you an imperial envoy and granted you a gold medal, so you don't have to worry about the future, right?"

The emperor felt a little impatient, and he also knew that it was unreasonable for Gu Chengyu to go, after all, Gu Chengyu was an official of the Imperial Academy.

But he has his own considerations, in order to test Gu Chengyu.

Although he intends to support Gu Chengyu, it is also based on the fact that Gu Chengyu is a pure minister.

If Gu Chengyu had a long look at Shu and used this opportunity to stir up wind and rain and collude with the princes, then he could only find someone else.

Besides, who knows if Gu Chengyu colluded with any prince before?This time is a good time to try.

"Your Majesty! I really can't do it!"

Gu Chengyu is not afraid of the emperor getting angry, what is it to seal the imperial envoy?So what if the emperor bestowed a gold medal?

After this incident was over, the gold medal had to be taken back, and the status of imperial envoy was even more useless, and he didn't get any benefits.

The emperor can see it now, this is a master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle.

"Then if you bring back the treasure map, then I will let you be promoted to a higher level, what do you think?"

The emperor felt that this condition was not unreasonable, and he also knew that if the horse wanted to run, it had to be fed.

Besides, he originally intended to support Gu Chengyu, so being promoted to a higher level was nothing.

Gu Chengyu's heart suddenly moved, it was impossible for him not to be tempted by this condition.

He recalled the scene of meeting the Eldest Princess at the Baoen Temple yesterday, and the desire in his heart was like a fang that was out of control.

But he shook his head after all, "Your Majesty! You, Xu Weichen, are promoted to a higher level, and I am naturally willing. Unfortunately, as you said just now, money moves people's hearts, and there are always people who only love money and not power. This matter I can't be sure that I can do it, I can only hope that this treasure map will not fall into the hands of any party."

"What does this mean?" The emperor's face became darker than before, and there was already a trace of anger in his heart.

Gu Chengyu also knew that the emperor was unhappy, but he was not a god, and he couldn't guarantee to bring back the treasure map intact. He could only fight for the final benefit for himself.
