"Xiaguan Gu Chengyu has seen Master Zhang!" Gu Chengyu entered the room, looked at Zhang Hai who was sorting out the classics in front of him, and carefully observed the expression on his face.
"Hmmm! Is the transcript completed? Zhang Hai didn't raise his head, but only asked about the record.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he felt that the whole person was not good. He had already proofread half of the record, but Zhang Hai had told him before that he could give him four days, and now that it had only been a day, did Zhang Hai really plan to embarrass him.
As soon as these words came out, not only Gu Chengyu felt bad, but even Zhang Hai was a little embarrassed.
In fact, his original intention was to find a topic to start with, so as not to make Gu Chengyu prejudiced against him. As soon as he came up, he talked about the preface, and he himself was a little embarrassed.
"If you go back to your lordship, you haven't yet! In the four days you said, Xia Guan only proofread three volumes today! β
Gu Chengyu didn't want to tell Zhang Hai the real progress, lest Zhang Hai send him more work.
"Ahem! Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you just proofread slowly! I called you here today because of the previous preface. β
Zhang Hai finished sorting out the book history in his hand, sat down in front of the bookcase, and motioned for Gu Chengyu to sit opposite him.
This move made Gu Chengyu very puzzled, and he was a little unsure of what Master Zhang meant. Didn't you want to embarrass him?
"This official promised you before that he would not take the credit for you, but in the end he broke his promise. Although the official has his own hardships, but dishonesty is dishonesty, and he has done such a meritorious thing, he is really ashamed, this official is here to accompany Gu Xiu! β
Gu Chengyu was really a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Hai to talk to him about this matter so openly.
And things are the same as he expected, but Zhang Hai has difficulties.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhang Hai's sincere face and his eyes full of apologies.
In fact, Zhang Hai didn't explain to him, and he couldn't do anything about Zhang Hai, at least not for the time being.
Zhang Hai is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he plans to stay in the Hanlin Academy for the past two years, so he can't offend Zhang Hai ruthlessly.
Otherwise, life in Hanlin Yuan is very difficult.
"Your Excellency is serious, and the officials are terrified!" To be able to say this, no matter what Zhang Hai's purpose is, it is also rare!
After all, Zhang Hai is the upper peak, which upper peak above the court can apologize to the lower official?
If you change to another official, what's wrong with using you? What's wrong with taking credit from you? Do you dare to be dissatisfied with him?
Seeing Gu Chengyu's sincere and frightened appearance, Zhang Hai couldn't help but nod secretly.
No matter what Gu Chengyu thought in his heart, at least he couldn't see any dissatisfaction with him on the surface.
After looking at the youngest official of the Dayan Dynasty, Zhang Hai had to admit it. Someone is born with a unique gift, even if he is not given a good family background, such a person only needs to put in a little effort, and he can have a hundredfold and thousandfold return.
This son is gifted and intelligent, and he is not inferior to those powerful ministers in terms of life and strategy.
"Even if the official did something wrong, it is also appropriate to say something to you. If you encounter any difficulties in the Hanlin Academy in the future, you just have to come to this official. Other yamen didn't dare to say that in the Hanlin Academy, which is a third of an acre, no one dares to disobey the official's order. β
This was really unexpected, Gu Chengyu didn't expect Zhang Hai to make such a promise. What does this mean is that he will be able to walk sideways in the Hanlin Courtyard in the future?
"However, this official is the most intolerant person in his eyes. If you are diligent, you will be able to do as much as possible to be fair. But if you stir up trouble in the Hanlin Academy, then don't blame the official for being ruthless, and then you have to go to the emperor to join you. β
Gu Chengyu twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, okay! He thinks too much, Zhang Hai is quite fair to his subordinates, but he doesn't look down on these people who have background backers and don't do things seriously.
Of course, except for the preface of this meeting, this matter can be regarded as a major failure in Zhang Hai's official career.
I heard that Zhang Hai was warning him, don't be arrogant in the Hanlin Courtyard just because the emperor takes a fancy to him. In the future, you still have to be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the lower officials will be more diligent in the future and solve problems for your adults."
Gu Chengyu immediately replied respectfully, he didn't expect Zhang Hai to be so partial to him, and he couldn't have come to Zhang Hai after being treated unfairly.
Zhang Hai is very satisfied with Gu Chengyu's attitude, he is not arrogant or impatient, but his temperament is calm.
"The official asked you, why didn't you directly debunk the words of the official and Min Feng in the imperial study that day?" Zhang Hai touched the beard on his chin and asked suspiciously.
Gu Chengyu's mind turned, this is a good time to pat on the back!
"Back to my lord! This matter has already involved adults, how can the lower officials tell it? Since the lower official entered the Hanlin Academy, the adult has taken great care of the lower official, and the lower official also guessed in his heart that the adult must have some kind of hardship. Outsiders say that adults are upright and just, how can they be in the same stream with others? β
Gu Chengyu glanced at Master Zhang, and found that Master Zhang's face was a little pale, so he knew that this trick worked.
Thousands of wears, sycophants do not wear, this is an eternal law.
He continued: "Besides, facts speak louder than words, even if the lower officials don't say it, who of you present doesn't understand? Even that Min Feng knows it, why should the lower officials embarrass the emperor and your lordship? β
Gu Chengyu said a few words again truthfully and falsely, "And Min Feng is the same year as the lower official, he did something wrong, and the lower official can't completely ignore the old feelings, there must always be leeway." I also want to give him a chance this time, and in the future, I just hope that he can do it himself. β
As soon as Zhang Hai heard Gu Chengyu's words, he looked at Gu Chengyu again.
Regardless of whether Gu Chengyu really thinks like this in his heart, it is undeniable that these words make people listen very comfortably.
Such a person has talent, strategy, and can speak well, so why worry about not being able to rise to prominence in the future?
Even if no one in the officialdom promotes him, he can climb to a high position by himself.
"You are kind, and you act like a gentleman! I also know how to leave room for doing things, which is good! β
Zhang Hai nodded, and couldn't help but sigh, there is really such a beautiful person in this world.
Whoever has such a child is afraid that his mouth will be crooked.
Those children of the big family have invited famous teachers to teach since they were children, and they have been studying for many years, but they are not as good as the people in front of them.
"Your Excellency praises it! In fact, the lower officials are also thinking about themselves! It should not be praised by adults. I'm afraid that you will be punished by the emperor, and then come to give the lower officials small shoes. β
Gu Chengyu's face was a little red, and he said the little selfishness in his heart.
Zhang Hai was stunned at first, and then laughed again, causing the money reviewer and others in the room next to him to look at each other.
Qian Yi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Master Zhang, who was strict on weekdays, would be able to talk to Master Gu very happily, and he didn't know what the two talked about.
Zhang Hai smiled and pointed at Gu Chengyu, "This official is not such a small-bellied person, you can rest assured." β
