Chapter 395: Imperial Gift
Gu Chengyu is currently just a petty official, and De'an is actually polite to him because of the emperor's face.
De'an saw that Gu Chengyu had just won the emperor's attention, but he didn't show anything on his face, and he couldn't help but nod secretly. This Master Gu is young, but he can hold his breath.
"Master Gu is really young and promising, and his future is immeasurable!"
Gu Chengyu heard this, and hurriedly observed De'an's expression carefully, and saw that it didn't seem to be sarcastic, but a bit like wanting to make friends with him. couldn't help muttering in his heart, it seems that the emperor looks at him differently today, and even the chief eunuch is looking sideways.
I don't know if this thing is good or bad, his limelight is already very strong, and if he comes out like this again, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will want to target him even more. The faction officials headed by Xia Qing will definitely take action against him.
Originally, he was not reused by Zhang Hai, and his life was quite miserable, and those people only cared about his jokes. However, now that the emperor has pushed him to the cusp, will those people still stand by and let him be proud?
It seems that he has to be more cautious recently, but he is not afraid of the upcoming trouble.
As for the emperor's purpose, he had an idea in his heart. I can't say that the emperor wants to support him and let him fight against Xia Qing. However, the emperor still doesn't know his true talents and strategies, so he naturally needs to investigate him first to see if he has the ability to provoke the beam.
As for why he didn't look for those families, it might be because he had a shallow foundation and was easy to handle, right?
Therefore, he had to think carefully about how to deal with these Xia Qing's minions next, this was the emperor's first test for him.
For the emperor, this candidate to confront Xia Qing can be changed at any time. If he doesn't show some real skills, the emperor will naturally give up on him and look for the next target, and he will tragically become a victim of this political game.
Although this is just Gu Chengyu's guess, Gu Chengyu is eighty percent sure that his thinking is right. Otherwise, it can't be explained at all, the emperor has always valued him.
Even if his talent and age account for some advantages, it is not uncommon for the emperor to value him a little bit, but he also summoned him alone, talked with him very happily, and even gave him the four treasures of the study, which is a bit too much.
There was no shortage of talented people in the Dayan Dynasty, but these were not helpful for the survival of officialdom. Don't you see, which of those high-ranking officials in the court is from Champion Lang? Aren't they all from Jinshi backgrounds who ranked last in the palace examination?
Although those champions are brilliant and beautiful, but later, they are all wiped out. It can be seen that after entering the court, talent can only be regarded as icing on the cake!
The thoughts in Gu Chengyu's heart flipped over, don't look at the miscellaneous and thought about a lot, but it was all a moment's effort.
He looked at De'an, who was smiling at him, and hurriedly said modestly: "Gonggong Chen has praised it falsely, this official is still a petty official from the sixth grade!" was able to be summoned by the emperor, and the official was flattered. Unexpectedly, the emperor was sympathetic to the officials and gave the four treasures of the study. Gonggong Chen is about to make fun of the official, otherwise it will make people misunderstand that the official is frivolous. ”
Gu Chengyu's face was shy, and he was very embarrassed by De'an's praise.
But he was thinking in his heart, what could such a promising thing be said at this time? It's just a separate summon and a set of four treasures of the study!
This is what he used when he wrote the word card just now, of course the emperor will not use the things he used, and it is normal to reward him casually. Otherwise, you can only throw away or reward people, isn't that a waste?
Dean can praise him, but he can't help but be humble, and he has a bright future! This is far from being promoted and making a fortune!
"Lord Gu is too humble, but the emperor still said that he would talk to you from time to time!" Dean smiled, and then saw Xiao Quanzi come out of the imperial study.
A hint of strangeness suddenly appeared on his face, and he paused and shouted, "Xiao Quanzi!" ”
Xiao Quanzi hurriedly greeted the two of them, "Lord Gu, the emperor asked our family to send you back to Hanlin Academy." ”
Gu Chengyu and De'an were stunned, and Gu Chengyu immediately smiled: "Then it's bothering the whole father-in-law!" ”
Gu Chengyu guessed that the emperor might have asked Xiao Quanzi to go in and explain to Zhang Hai that he was involved in the "Dayan Huidian", so he asked Xiao Quanzi to send him back to the Hanlin Academy. Since it is the emperor's will, Gu Chengyu is of course impossible to refuse.
After Gu Chengyu and the others said goodbye to De'an, they walked to the Hanlin Academy.
Dean looked at the backs of the two, his eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly. Xiao Quanzi will see stitches, the emperor has often asked Xiao Quanzi to do things recently, and De'an feels that his position is about to be shaken. This time, I also saw the opportunity and went to Lord Gu's side, what does this little Quanzi want to do?
Dean took one last look at the backs of the two, then shook off the dust in his hand, bowed and turned to walk towards the imperial study.
Gu Chengyu held the four treasures of the study in his hand and walked forward with Xiao Quanzi. With the Four Treasures of the Study, those who want to stumble on him should also weigh them. Although he may have been brought to the forefront and used by the emperor to become a pawn to contain Xia Qing, Gu Chengyu was also fearless.
What about being used? This shows that he still has the value of being used. Who of these officials of the imperial court is not being used? Aren't they all working for the emperor?
Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family. This is the ultimate goal of most of them, those who are indifferent to fame and fortune are not absent, but he is not one of them.
"Xiao Quanzi also wants to congratulate Lord Gu for getting the emperor's reward, the emperor attaches great importance to Lord Gu, and Lord Gu's promotion is just around the corner!" Xiao Quanzi arched his hand towards Gu Chengyu and congratulated.
"To borrow the auspicious words of the whole father-in-law, it's a pity that this official has just entered Hanlin, and the promotion is still early!" Gu Chengyu looked at the room in front of him and quickened the pace of his feet, it was almost time to disperse.
"Master Gu still calls our family Xiaoquanzi, this father-in-law is called, and he is a lot stranger, so it is better to call Xiaoquanzi kinder." Xiao Quanzi knew that this Lord Gu would definitely be reused by the emperor, and he was sparing no effort to get close at this time.
"That's unacceptable, Father-in-law Quan is a big celebrity around the emperor!" Gu Chengyu doesn't remember that he has such a good friendship with this father-in-law, even if he wants to get closer to the relationship between the two, he can't be too impatient when he meets him for the first time today.
Who knows if Xiao Quanzi was bought by which faction? Otherwise, how could he be so enthusiastic about him? He didn't want to be inexplicably involved with any prince. He hasn't figured out which prince to support, and he can only be a pure minister at the moment.
And wait for him to have more contact with this person in the future, if the back is clean, then there will be more contact, and it will be better to give him more convenience.
Xiao Quanzi was not reluctant when he heard this, he and Gu Chengyu were not familiar with each other before, and it was natural for Gu Chengyu to be defensive of him.
