The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Chengyu, and then nodded imperceptibly.

After Gu Chengyu confirmed, his heart was completely cold.

How can the emperor be so shameless? What is the relationship between being promoted and marrying? Why let him choose one or the other?

Gu Chengyu couldn't help but smile bitterly, because of what? It's not because King Jing is the emperor's son, and he is just a low-level official.

is still a dispensable, small official who can be replaced at any time.

Liang Zhirui looked at Gu Chengyu suspiciously, what does this have to do with the case in Hejian Mansion? But then he reacted, the emperor is threatening Jinyu?

As long as he agrees to marry Sister Xian, will Jinyu lose this opportunity to be promoted?

Liang Zhirui took a deep look at the emperor and opened his mouth before Gu Chengyu.

"Your Majesty! Jinyu is just a ......"

But before Liang Zhirui's words were finished, Gu Chengyu interjected, "Your Majesty! The matter of Hejian Mansion is also considered to be dedicated, but Weichen does not dare to take credit. As for marriage, this should not have been left to the junior of Weichen to make his own decisions. A teacher for one day, a father for life, since the teacher has discussed it with Wechen's parents, there is no room for opposition to Wechen. ”

Gu Chengyu's words were already an indication of his attitude, but this made Liang Zhirui's heart even more guilty.

He didn't expect to make the little disciple pay for it so quickly, what he wanted to stop just now was just Jin Yu insisted on saying it ahead of him.

Alas! How should he face Jinyu in the future?

"Then your choice is to follow your teacher's arrangement?" The emperor asked in a deep voice.

"In fact, Weichen's opinion is not important, the final result still depends on you. As for King Jing, although Weichen didn't want to offend, since Weichen had already promised the teacher before, he couldn't break his trust. And since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, whether the minister is loyal or filial, he can only ask the emperor to decide. ”

Liang Zhirui was shocked when he heard this, yes! This is to let Jinyu choose by herself, but in the end, don't you have to listen to the emperor?

If Jin Yu chooses Sister Xian in the end, but the emperor is not happy, can Jin Yu still go to rob her relatives?

The emperor is really cunning! not only let Jinyu give up the low-hanging fruit promotion opportunity, but also use this to test Jinyu's character.

After all, the temptation of promotion is there, who is willing to give up for the sake of a woman?

The emperor sneered when he heard this, "You really deserve to be the champion of my handpick!" You've said all the good things. Rest assured, I will do what I say. As long as you choose, I won't embarrass you. ”

The rain that was still floating just now actually stopped. Gu Chengyu looked at the white belly of the fish in the sky that had been cleared of the clouds, and let out a breath of turbid air in his heart.

"Jinyu! It's the teacher who can't stand you......" Liang Zhirui didn't know what he should say at this moment, it was he who caused Gu Chengyu.

When Gu Chengyu worshiped him back then, how could he have thought that he would rely on this youngest disciple in the future?

In fact, I haven't taught him for a few years, and today's achievements are all due to the little disciple's own efforts and talents.

I have become a leader, where are the connections in the officialdom? I can't help the little disciple anything.

And over the years, he has enjoyed the blessings of Jinyu, and all good things are used by their old couple, and in turn, he still takes advantage of the little disciple.

Now he is coercing him as a teacher, and wants to marry his granddaughter to the little disciple, and the little disciple has lost the opportunity to be promoted this time.

"Teacher, don't think too much. I'm going back to duty now, and I'll go to the house in the evening to have a drink or two with you. ”

Gu Chengyu glanced around and saw that Xiao Quanzi was a few steps away from them, and was smiling at him.

He smiled back, and then stopped him. There are a lot of people here, so it's better to say less.

"Hey~good!" Liang Zhirui came back to his senses and responded.

"Let's go! I'll send you out of the palace. ”

In fact, Gu Chengyu was not upset at this time, if he wanted to say that he didn't mind at all, how could it be?

He had been in Hejian Mansion for so long this time, and he had to work hard for the treasure map. There is also the corruption and bribery case of Hejian Mansion, and he also took risks.

From the sixth grade to the fifth grade, it is a leap in grade. Now for the sake of this marriage, it is said that it is gone.

What was he promoted for? One is naturally for himself, and the other is also for the early completion of his mother's wish.

His mother was looked down upon because she used to be a girl, although her mother didn't mention it, but she could still see that her mother minded being someone else's subordinate. Don't look at his mother in Shangling Village, in his Gu family!

But since he came to the capital, his mother didn't even want to go out. It's not because of his low grade that his mother is afraid that people will look down on him, and even she is afraid that she will offend the nobles and cause trouble for him.

Thinking of the eldest princess's ridicule that day, what if he was already a member of the second or third rank or above? Will the eldest princess still face the two of them like this?

He is not a saint after all, and he cannot be honored and disgraced. But he won't blame his teacher, let alone be angry with Yao Mengxian.

Watching the two walk away hand in hand, Xiao Quanzi knew very little about what was happening in the imperial study. But judging from Gu Chengyu's complexion, Master Gu definitely didn't please him today.

Although Gu Chengyu is still smiling, this smile is still a little different from the past.

"Your Majesty! The tea is cold, let's change the pot! ”

Seeing that the emperor motioned for himself to pour tea, De'an hurriedly replaced the freshly changed tea.

"De'an! You said that this Gu Chengyu is a person who values affection. For the sake of a woman, she even gave up her promotion. ”

The emperor smiled and shook his head, although the candidate for King Jing was snatched away by Gu Chengyu, but the emperor was not angry when he looked at it at this time.

"Your Majesty, the eldest is his mentor, and since the mentor has opened his mouth, the disciple naturally can't refuse. However, Master Gu can be regarded as having a heart, whether it is to his father or his teacher, he is extremely filial. ”

De'an smiled and changed the tea for the emperor, and replied very casually.

"Hmmm! It's the fourth child, and I don't know how to explain it! ”

The emperor rubbed his forehead with a headache, facing King Jing, the emperor always felt powerless.

In fact, Gu Chengyu's performance today is satisfactory to him, if Gu Chengyu really postponed this marriage in order to be promoted, then the emperor would not dare to use Gu Chengyu anymore.

That's right, the one just now was to test Gu Chengyu.

If Gu Chengyu is unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal, and he is also consumed by profit, and his six relatives do not recognize him, then how can the emperor use Gu Chengyu with confidence?

Who knows if Gu Chengyu will calculate him, the emperor, for the benefit of others in the future?

After all, he knows Gu Chengyu's ability, if he is ruthless, selfish and cold, how can he handle it in the future? I want to talk with more like-minded people about "The Road to the Peasant Family's Fortune and Prosperity", and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
