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

Chapter 951
The corners of Gu Chengyu's eyes twitched. At this time, he was the only farm in the capital to produce cherries.

The seeds of this cherry tree were collected in the previous life, and the cherries produced are big and round.

It took Saburo a lot of effort to cultivate it. Could it be that his cherries have become ingredients purchased by the royal family?This is not a good sign.

If one day the cherry trees don't bear any more cherries, and the palace can't buy cherries, then blame them, wouldn't they just go around without eating them?
"Your Majesty! I'm just a fifth-rank official, and Zhan Shifu is a third-rank official. I don't want to talk too much about it."

When Gu Chengyu was still the emperor, he would ask about the third prince, but who would have thought that the emperor would even mention the establishment of Zhan Shifu.

Zhan Shifu was established to assist and train the prince, and it existed in the previous dynasty.

The Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu is the third grade, followed by the Shao Zhan Shi, which is the fourth grade, and the rest are Zhan Shifu Cheng, etc., all of whom are concurrently held by cabinet officials.

For example, the six books of the Shangshu, or the servant.

Gu Chengyu is from the fifth grade, and he is not a cabinet official at present, so this matter has nothing to do with him.

Besides, his rank is so low, what right does he have to speak nonsense here?

"Since I asked you, you can just speak freely. In the past, weren't you very eloquent? This time, you can also tell me that you are ugly."

The emperor was in a bad mood, and he didn't plan to go around in circles with Gu Chengyu. He was a little hesitant about choosing Zhan Shi, but he wanted to hear Gu Chengyu's thoughts.

Gu Chengyu felt a little helpless, "Your Majesty! This senior cabinet official is no more than those few, you must have already found a suitable candidate in your heart. I am a low-level official, how can you speak of a few adults?"

The emperor looked a little unhappy, and now he just wanted to find an official who told the truth.

This Gu Chengyu is really cunning, how could he offend those officials?

"Why? Don't you worry that I won't make it? The matter in the imperial study will never be reported to the outside world."

The emperor glanced at De'an who was standing beside him, and his heart trembled when he saw De'an.

Gu Chengyu slandered in his heart, this is not necessarily the case!
Chief Manager Chen might be someone from the First Prince. They have just finished discussing here, and the First Prince will get news from there.

Since having this guess last time, Gu Chengyu naturally didn't dare to say any more, lest it would be spread and make enemies in the officialdom.

"De'an! I won't go to Guangning Palace for dinner today, you go and report to the queen yourself."

The emperor opened his drooping eyelids, and gave instructions to De'an.

De'an's face froze, but he relaxed instantly, "Yes! This servant is going to report now!"

Before leaving, De'an took a deep look at Gu Chengyu.When the emperor and his ministers sorted out the affairs of the court before, they never shy away from him.

I didn't expect the emperor to send him away today. Could it be that the emperor has become suspicious of him?Or is the emperor planning to discuss some confidential matters with Gu Chengyu?
De'an speculated about the emperor's intentions while walking, and couldn't help walking faster than before.

"Xiao Quanzi!" The emperor shouted loudly, calling out to Xiao Quanzi who was guarding the door.

"The servant is here!" Xiao Quanzi hurriedly ran into the imperial study room and knelt down on the ground.

He was calm on the face, but excited inside.

He saw Chief Manager Chen was dismissed by the emperor just now, but he didn't expect the emperor to call him into the imperial study in a blink of an eye, it seems that his chance has come.

The emperor may have lost the previous trust in Mr. Chen, otherwise he would not have dismissed him.

If he didn't take advantage of it, could he still be polite with Mr. Chen?

"Stay outside the door and don't let anyone in. Before I have an order, you are not allowed to inform anyone." The emperor said with a serious face.

"Yes!" Xiao Quanzi responded quickly, and then exited the imperial study room.

Anyone, including Manager Chen, Xiao Quanzi had a smile on his face.Sure enough, Mr. Gu can bring him good luck.

Xiao Quanzi stood outside the door happily, and he secretly swore in his heart that even if Chief Manager Chen came, he would not lie.

"I plan to reserve a seat for you in Zhan Shifu."

At this time, there was no one else in the imperial study room, and the emperor also straightforwardly stated his purpose.

Gu Chengyu looked over in surprise, does the emperor still plan to promote him?
Thinking of this, Gu Chengyu couldn't help getting excited.He doesn't want Zhan Shi anymore. Is the emperor planning to give a junior Zhan Shi an official position?
Shao Zhan Shi is the fourth grade!He is now from the fifth grade, and he is still three grades away!He has just been promoted, will the emperor let him be promoted three ranks in a row?

It shouldn't be possible, right?Gu Chengyu suddenly realized that he was too eager for quick success.Such a ridiculous thing, how could I have such extravagant thoughts?

Afterwards, Gu Chengyu was frightened into a cold sweat.Immediately, he smiled wryly, it seems that people have greed!

Originally, he was promoted quickly enough, but it has only been more than half a year, and he has already been promoted to the fifth rank. He didn't expect that he was still not satisfied, and he wanted to reach the sky in one step.

This greed is really terrifying, Gu Chengyu hastily stopped.You still have to be down-to-earth in life, otherwise you will fall badly.

Although when others praise him, he always appears very humble.

In fact, before he realized it, he was already proud.

Isn't there a saying that excessive modesty is pride?He is in this state now.

Realizing that his state was wrong, Gu Chengyu naturally had to correct it immediately.

It is impossible to reduce Zhan Shi, and it is very likely that he will get the seat of Zhan Shifu Cheng.

Zhan Shifu's prime minister is the sixth rank, but if he is concurrently serving, then it is not a big problem, and the rank is still calculated according to his current fifth rank.

However, the seat of the Fucheng is generally held by the Bachelor of Attendance of the Imperial Academy, and he is a Bachelor of Attendance.

Although it is the same grade as the Bachelor's degree, it is still inferior, so it does not meet the requirements.

"Your Majesty! There are many affairs in the Imperial Academy, and I am afraid that this humble official will not be able to handle them."

Gu Chengyu didn't want to know what grade the emperor could give him, he just didn't want to get involved with the prince right now.

Although the emperor is old now, he looks like he has not yet reached the state of senility. His abacus is very good, and there is no room for calculation.

If he has too close contacts with the prince and arouses the emperor's suspicion, then the road to promotion will be hindered.

Who knows how long it will take for the crown prince to ascend the throne?Besides, the prince may not be able to ascend the throne smoothly.

The emperor must have some purpose in wanting him to serve as an official in Zhan Shifu.

Because judging from Gu Chengyu's previous speculation, the emperor didn't value the prince much.

Maybe it was some kind of agreement reached in private with the queen, otherwise, after the establishment of the crown prince, why are they still so alienated from each other?

Even today in the court, he is still persecuting the prince because of the matter of the third prince.

In fact, the emperor's thinking Gu Chengyu thinks it is easy to understand, the emperor is not convinced!

Because he is old and cannot be younger than the prince, the officials in the court will gradually move closer to the prince in the future.
