Chapter 42: The First Auxiliary of the Gu Family (2)
Gu Shoufu did what he said, he didn't care whether the emperor agreed or not, and when he got home, he went to his son to tell him about it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At that time, Gu Qingbai was painting in the study, and he was very impatient with his father's disturbance, saying that he would tell him if he would go when he finished eating.
The folk version says that although our Gu Xiaogongzi is amazing and talented, he is only a nine-year-old doll, and when he hears that he wants to enter the palace to face the saint, he is still above the court, and it is inevitable that he will retreat. But then, the child didn't go anyway!
In fact, what is kept secret is that Gu Qingbai silently made up the ink spots that Gu Shoufu, who was a live grasshopper when he returned home with the demeanor of a master outside, and made up the ink spots on his rice paper into flowers, and went to the backyard of Old Lady Gu.
Old lady Gu was fishing, and when she saw her baby grandson, she called him over with a smile.
Although Gu Qingbai is small, he can see it clearly. Everyone said that his father Gu Hanxuan was the prime minister and useless, and some people speculated that Gu Shoufu was just hiding clumsy, but in fact, he was full of governing the country and economy.
Gu Qingbai knew that his father really only liked to talk about poetry and Taoism, and he was not interested in governing the country, and this was deliberately done by his grandfather.
The hundred-year-old charm of the Gu family needs him to do this.
They take care of their family, and they can't always be a thorn in the emperor's side, only the mediocre talents after the capable people can truly dispel the emperor's doubts.
Old lady Gu looked at the face of the little grandson, and knew why he came, and instructed him to pour all the fish in the basket back to the pond, and said leisurely that the Gu family's qi is not exhausted, what will happen in the future, and it depends on Qingbai's creation.
Grandfather, this is agreed.
He has enough ability and strength to prove that he can withstand the burden of the Gu family.
In the temple, under the holy face, in the face of one or more tentative or tricky questions, Gu Qingbai was at ease, giving full play to the Chinese ink on his chest, and finally in the full audience and Gu Shoufu's unusually proud expression, he waved his wide sleeves and revealed his heart to the emperor magnificently.
He, Gu Qingbai, is willing to accompany the saint and become the minister of the humerus of the Great Crown Dynasty.
These words are arrogant, but they also have capital, looking at the world, no one dares to say this in front of Emperor Xuanyuan, but because he is a nine-year-old child, he is not bullied, and the emperor is happy, and once again praised Gu Shoufu, and the straight man teaches his son well.
Then, he personally stepped down from the high platform and handed the jade pendant he was wearing to Gu Qingbai, so that he could come to the court with Gu Hanxuan in the future.
Gu Hanxuan also has his own selfishness, he has long been tired of the life of officialdom, and he also wants to be like the old man at home, just guard the pond of lotus, draw a picture every day, fish for a koi, write two poems when he has nothing to do, and go out to play with his wife.
At the moment, it is very pleasant to smile.
This real happiness dispelled the emperor's doubts a little. The father and son of the Gu family want to hide nothing, which is really rare.
The Gu family is really a generation that should be Wang Fu!
Gu Qingbai did not disappoint the emperor who valued him, the matter of Ning Guo asking for help was solved by downright beauty, although the people of the northwest were out of coolies, they also brought back silver, and the little emperor of Ning Guo was even more grateful, and between his words, he was quite humble.
Gu Qingbai became famous in a plan, and for a while, everyone knew about this nine-year-old prodigy.
And he later proved that he was not a straw bag, whether it was water conservancy or treasury silver, the piles were all done beautifully, and some methods were actually taught to a few virtuous and respected ministers who were deeply ashamed of themselves.
Such a talented economy, when Gu Hanxuan proposed to dismiss the old man, no one objected.
The talents of the little son of the Gu family are all in the eyes, and he really doesn't look like a child, but he is a decisive and fierce minister.
Therefore, the emperor only said a polite word, and then agreed to his resignation, completely ignoring the so-called "farewell to the old" of this first assistant!
At that time, Gu Qingbai had just turned ten years old, and let a child be the first assistant, saying it was really teaching people to laugh off their big teeth, Emperor Xuanyuan thought about it again, and still gave him a decent third-grade official.
The first assistant is naturally a flower to others. When Li Shoufu was in the dynasty, this Shoufu was really a wreck, and everyone knew that he was a leak......
It is said that Li Shoufu once spit out the truth after drinking, and a handful of old people cried a handful of snot and tears, saying that when Hanxuan took the imperial examination that year, he should not stand next to him and read the papers, otherwise he would not have hated himself, and retired early, so that he could not sit in this position, nor would he not sit......
The ministers just laughed and said nothing, and then secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Gu Hanxuan took the imperial examination back then, and it was not himself who invigilated.
Although it is a three-product, everyone knows how heavy the three-product quantile is.
Fortunately, Gu Qingbai didn't care, when something was different, he was standing on top.
Since beating him up in the court, in addition to Gu Hanxuan and Mrs. Gu, they also treat him as a child, and when others see him, which one is not respectful?
The emperor has never even hugged his own son, but he hugged Gu Xiaogongzi in the court, this honor is not very revealing!
Gu Qingbai's status above the court and in folk rumors became more and more transcendent.
Therefore, when the imperial examination list was released, and the entire list was looked at, and there was no word "Gu Qingbai", the people's resentment boiled for a while.
This year's imperial examination must be shady! Gu Gongzi's talent, that is obvious to all, how can it be that not only is it not in the top three, but also famous in Sun Shan?
In previous years, the release of the list was the excitement of readers, but this year, the entire Shangjing City is boiling.
There were even people who organized themselves in front of the Criminal Department to demand a thorough investigation of the imperial examination.
When the criminal department Shangshu saw it, he was also worried, this is worth it, these people are diao! When will it be his turn to take charge of the imperial examination? He will definitely play it to the Holy One!
It was not a coincidence that Shangshu of the Criminal Department went, the emperor was playing chess with Gu Qingbai, and as expected, he lost again with a flick of his eyebrows.
He hit the muzzle of the gun, and when he knelt down for half a pillar of incense, he heard the emperor ask in surprise, when did Du Aiqing come.
Du Shangshu's tears are about to be angry, and sure enough, it is black who is close to ink, you are always the same as the Gu family boy, and you are also a bad stomach.
Although he was slandered in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face: "Wechen just arrived, which disturbed the emperor's interest, and it was the minister's no, and Wechen sued him." ”
Du Shangshu took the opportunity to glance at the chess game silently, alas, this kid from the Gu family really didn't let anyone. If it weren't for his surname Gu, he would have been beheaded several times.
However, he did underestimate the lower limit of the emperor's love of self-abuse.
While the emperor said that Aiqing was flat, he put the chess pieces on the table again, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I have never won against you once." (To be continued.) )
