Chapter 1210: The Way of the Most Beautiful Man in the World (41)
There are many people like him.
At the beginning, they criticized Gu Mo in various ways, but Gu Mo ignored them, which made them feel bored, so he vowed to join the court to change this situation.
So I went to take the official entrance examination, and in the end...well, the decree issued by Taifu Gu was really delicious.
Two more years have passed, and the little emperor is no longer young.
Compared to his father, grandfather, and grandfather who died after only being emperor for a few days or a few months, he was obviously luckier. He was still alive and well after being emperor for more than ten years.
This is probably related to the fact that he cherishes his life and listens to the Taifu's words.
Of course, his obedience is all superficial, this guy is very cunning.
For example, at this moment, he looked like a little white rabbit in front of Gu Mo, acting coquettishly and showing his dimples. He was harmless to humans and animals, and people couldn't help but want to prick him on the head.
But when Gu Mo turned around and walked away, his face suddenly changed, and he became very serious.
In addition to changing his face, Gu Mo also discovered many redeeming features of this boy, such as his skill at political hedging.
Although he lived deep in the palace, he also relied on his own means to win over many confidants, and placed these confidants beside him and Huan Lin respectively, with the intention of provoking conflicts between him and Huan Lin and making them fight.
Gu Mo pretended not to see his little moves.
After teaching the Little Emperor course that day, when I returned to the mansion, I saw someone coming from the mansion.
The visitor was Guo Guan, the head of the Guo family. His son was one of the Qingtan officials who was forced to live in seclusion by Gu Mo.
Now he came to Gu Mo because of his son's matter.
"Master, Quanzi has been living in seclusion for almost five years. Can you restore his health?"
Gu Mo's attitude was gentle, "Since he is living in seclusion, it is his own volition. How can he find me? If you want him to come back, you should find him yourself."
"He refused to come back."
Guo Guan gritted his teeth, thinking that Gu Mo had done something to make his son feel like he was possessed by an evil spirit. He was so preoccupied with staying in that corner that he didn't want to come back.
Not only his family, but also the "hermit" sons of other aristocratic families are in a similar situation.
Forgetting the life of Jiankang with fine clothes and food, all of them really stayed in the countryside and refused to come back. It was simply unbelievable.
"Brother Guo, as a father, you don't listen to anything your son says. How can he listen to me? It's not like you don't know how much your son hates me."
Guo Guan continued to grit his teeth.
"No, Taifu is very capable. Now my dog is so impressed by Taifu."
Yes, the officials who had a deep hatred for Gu Mo actually started to praise Gu Mo after they stayed in the countryside for a few years.
I usually write letters to my family, and the letters are filled with all kinds of rainbow farts that flatter Gu Mo.
Forget it, they were worried that others wouldn't know how much they admired Gu Mo. Whenever Gu Mo had any new decree, they would immediately write articles to support it and respond to Gu Mo's call.
Your father was fighting to the death with others in the court, but you turned against him?
His strength is simply deceiving.
The sect leaders of these aristocratic families still don't understand how Gu Mo did it, and how did he let those young people be possessed collectively?
"If that's the case, then I'll give it a try. If they don't listen, Brother Guo don't blame me."
"Of course not."
Gu Mo then wrote letters to all these reclusive officials.
Worried that there was something wrong with Gu Mo's letter, the sect leaders read it over and over again before they felt relieved.
After the reclusive officials replied, Gu Mo directly gave the unopened letter to the heads of these aristocratic families to read first, lest they suspect that he was cheating again.
After reading it, the faces of these sect leaders turned green with anger.
These letters almost all express the same meaning:
First of all, I feel extremely honored that Gu Mo could write to them personally.
Then he still didn't come back.
Yes, I won't come back.
They spelled out why:
In the past, when I was in Jiankang City, I lived in a state of intoxication and indulgence, living in a state of confusion.
It seems that they lack nothing, but in fact they are empty in their hearts, otherwise they would not like to engage in verbal battles with others to make things clear.
They have never experienced frustration, nor have they ever felt that passionate sense of achievement.
But when they arrived in the countryside, they saw the suffering of the people and realized the hardships of the lower class.
They teach here, and because they are needed, they feel a sense of mission in living in the world and a rare sense of accomplishment.
So they can't leave here.
When they leave, what will happen to these children? If these children don’t have teachers to teach them, what will happen to the future of Jing Dynasty? Where is the hope of unifying the country?
After reading the letter, the heads of the aristocratic families said, "...???"
My family has spent so much energy training you, but you don’t feel the honor, but you are proud to be a rural teacher?
He was directly made to doubt his life by his own son.
Guo Guan put down the letter and held his hand towards Gu Mo, seemingly polite but actually full of resentment.
"Master, why on earth is this!?"
Just ask what kind of dirty tricks Gu Mo used to brainwash those reclusive officials.
If he hadn't been afraid that Gu Mo would blackmail him into spitting blood all over his face, he would have wanted to just go up and hit Gu Mo.
"Everyone, you are old and have lost the ambition that your ancestors once had, so you just want to settle down in a corner and hold on to the family."
Gu Mo's smile continued, "But your children are still young. They have ambitions and want to protect more than just the family line."
"What I did was just inspire their ambition and fighting spirit as young people. Their future is limitless. The people will remember them, history will remember them, not their bright clothes, angry horses, fighting dogs, cocks and lackeys, not
Remember that they went crazy with drugs and were drunk and romantic, but remember that they gave up their aristocratic status for the sake of this country and this nation, went to the most difficult places, and did things that ordinary people could not do. As a father, you should regard them as
If you are proud, you should also think more about their reputation."
Even though you are sick, you have gone to work as a teacher in the countryside, and you are still proud of riding a horse?
"Brother Guo, does he know about the incident at Wangling?"
Guo Guan nodded solemnly.
The Wangling Incident happened last year.
The iron hooves of the north invaded the south several times, but failed to capture the south. Last year, they prepared to launch a heavy assault on a fortress in the south.
They made a surprise attack from the mountain and went up the mountain in advance to mark the place.
And that fortress is located near where Guo Guan's son Guo Wangshe lives in seclusion.
Unexpectedly, two days before launching the raid, several students taught by Guo Wangshe happened to go into the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and then saw the marks made by Hu Bing.
The mark was in Hu script, and Guo Wangshe happened to like to study the characters of various ethnic groups, so he also taught some Hu script to the students when he was teaching.
The students learned through these inauthentic articles that Hu soldiers were going to raid in a few days, so they ran to tell the county guard that night.
The county guard tried his best, but in the end he severely wounded the Hu soldiers who came to attack. He also pursued the enemy and took back two states.
