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

Chapter 903
This incident happened to give the emperor a chance, and the result was within the emperor's expectations.

After all, Gu Chengyu should be a filial person from the matter of Gu Chengyu asking for an order for his mother.

De'an peeked at the emperor, he also saw what happened just now.In fact, he thought Mr. Gu was wronged and panicked, being forced by both sides, how could he get it right?

Those things in the Hejian Mansion, whether it's the treasure map or the bribery case, are all thanks to Mr. Gu.

If other officials could have such achievements, they would have been promoted long ago.

But the emperor suppressed him and refused to let Mr. Gu be promoted.

If he was Mr. Gu, he might be disheartened right now. Will Mr. Gu still do his best for the emperor in the future?
De'an was a little puzzled, since the emperor wanted to support Mr. Gu, why was he so harsh on Mr. Gu?
De'an's confusion was written all over his face. The emperor had been with De'an for many years, so he naturally understood De'an's thoughts.

In fact, anyone would be puzzled about this matter, but why does the emperor need to explain to those people when he does things?He has his own agenda.

However, he is in a good mood now, so he has some interest, and he doesn't mind joking with De'an.

"Do you think what I have done today is inappropriate? You must be thinking in your heart that Gu Chengyu has suffered a loss this time, and I am afraid that he will not do his best for me in the future?"

The emperor smiled lightly, picked up the memorial on the table and began to review it.

De'an was startled, but his expression remained calm, and he even nodded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty! You are really clever! This is exactly what this servant thinks in his heart. But you are the Ninth Five-Year Lord, no matter how you treat him, he can only accept it. However, this servant is afraid that he will have a lump in his heart." , procrastinate in doing things in the future, and refuse to do my best for the emperor."

De'an frowned and said worriedly.

"Haha! If he can't even let go of this, and can't think clearly, then I don't need such a fool." The emperor suddenly laughed, which shocked De'an.

Ke De'an was even more puzzled after hearing what the emperor said.

He said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty! You also know that this servant is stupid. If you let me guess half of what you say, how can I guess?"

"Hmph! I read Gu Chengyu's file before, and found that he started his enlightenment at the age of five, and he was admitted by the age of eight, and he is still the top case."

"Later, the 11-year-old township examination and even the later palace examination were all champions. It can be said that the wind went smoothly, and he was the number one scholar. Now he has become a sixth-rank official in just a few months. He is not only talented, but also has extraordinary strategies. It is undeniable that this He is a proud son of heaven. Except for his poor background, everything else is impeccable."

The emperor stopped writing, looked at De'an and sighed slightly.

De'an nodded. He couldn't say that it was incorrect against his will. After all, everyone in Dayan Dynasty probably thought so.

"When we saw him, we all looked confident. When did we see him not confident?" The emperor thought of the matter of sending Gu Chengyu to Hejian Mansion to seize the treasure map.

At that time, Gu Chengyu said that it was difficult, that he might not be able to do it.But the emperor didn't see much embarrassment from Gu Chengyu's face. Gu Chengyu would refuse in every possible way. In the final analysis, it was because he wanted to take Joe for his own benefit.

Then he will be promoted this time, it will undoubtedly be a blow to Gu Chengyu.

"He has talent and knows everything he does, but I don't think it's a good thing."

In the past, the emperor really didn't care about these things. Although Gu Chengyu's mansion was too deep, he was confident that he could handle it.

But he is already old, and the longevity pill has not been successfully developed yet.

If one day he drives the crane west, will his son be able to keep his country?
If Gu Chengyu uses it well, it is a good knife, and his Zhao family's power can continue.

But the emperor can't let Gu Chengyu think that he has to fight against Xia Qing, he can let Gu Chengyu sing all the way in the court and climb to the top.

But I can also make the other party fall into the quagmire, so what about the promised promotion?If it is gone, it is gone, this is imperial power.

De'an seemed to understand a little bit, he blinked his dry and old eyes and looked at the emperor, waiting for the emperor to continue to answer.

But the emperor chuckled twice, and then buried his head in the memorial.De'an was a little disappointed, he knew that the emperor didn't want to talk about it.

Gu Chengyu went directly to the Liang Mansion after he left, and the Liang Mansion had already prepared meals.

Liang Zhirui filled a glass of wine for Gu Chengyu, then picked up the glass and took a sip.

"Jinyu! What happened today is because the teacher is sorry for you. After all, I am the one who has hurt you."

Because of guilt, Liang Zhirui has been deeply guilty of self-blame since he came back.He even regretted bringing this up, and was even more angry at his own incompetence.

"Teacher, you don't need to blame yourself. You understand my disciple's temperament. If I really don't want to, no one can force me, right? In the imperial study today, the emperor seemed to have two choices, but in fact there was only one. If he really chooses to be promoted and abandons the previous promise, what kind of person will the disciple become? The emperor will not be satisfied."

After Gu Chengyu returned to the Hanlin Academy, he was really in a negative mood.But after he carefully figured out the emperor's intentions, he felt that it was more likely to test himself.

"The old man understands what you mean. You mean that the emperor is testing you. But no matter whether he is testing or embarrassing you, your promotion has been given up! This is really losing the benefit."

Liang Zhirui waved his hands and sighed.

Gu Chengyu smiled, "Teacher, nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, how can everything go smoothly? If I can't bear this setback, how can I stand firm in the court in the future? The days to come will be long Let’s go! Will there be fewer such things in the future?”

Liang Zhirui was stunned on the spot, his eyes were a little moist looking at Gu Chengyu.

"I didn't expect the old man to be as open-minded as you, but your temper is free and easy. You are right, you are still young now, and the days to come are still long! How can anyone always go smoothly?"

Liang Zhirui felt relieved, he really saw the right person.

"So you don't have to blame yourself, teacher. It's good to let the matter of promotion go for now. My promotion is already very fast. If I get promoted consecutively, will those courtiers have no objections? There are many jealous people in the court!"

Gu Chengyu personally served Liang Zhiruiman's wine, at this moment his mood was peaceful.

If you want to call the wind and rain in the officialdom, you can't help it. It is estimated that you will not go far in the officialdom, so self-cultivation is very necessary.

His self-cultivation is still not at home, and in order to upgrade to a higher level, he is worried about gains and losses.

The master and the apprentice spoke some more personal words, and Liang Zhirui mentioned marriage.

"I'm afraid there will be an imperial decree in these two days. You have to be ready." Although this matter cost a lot, it was finally done.

"Yes!" Gu Chengyu nodded.

After eating and drinking, Gu Chengyu left the house, only to notice that it started to snow outside.
