When a person with strong backing comes back, he has to worry about the people behind him if he wants to control him. Is this asking the ancestors?
The two people who were pointed out were silent before and had no shy expressions on their faces. Gu Chengyu thought that these two people should be relatively calm and have no backers.
They are also about the same age, both in their forties, so Gu Chengyu had certain considerations in choosing these two.
The two of them are about the same age, so they will compete with each other and work more diligently in the future.
This age is just right, but if you are too young, your mind will be too active. If you are too old, and you are muddling along, you may become lazy in doing things.
Li Zhongxin was a little surprised when he saw that Gu Chengyu had chosen these two people.
He thought about it and felt that he still had to remind him, lest Mr. Gu forget and he would be blamed later.
So she said softly, "Master Gu, this Yun Zemin is just a scholar."
Gu Chengyu noticed from the introduction that this person was just a scholar. He was a little surprised, did this person have some strong backers? Otherwise, he would not be interspersed among these candidates as a scholar.
However, judging from his expression when he asked the question just now, it doesn't look like he has a big backer. But no matter what, these two people are the most calm and not as impetuous as the other three, so it's better to use it reluctantly.
!
"Just the two of them!"
The faces of the other three people suddenly looked a little ugly. They did not expect that Gu Chengyu would choose these two people so hastily.
Li Zhongxin saw that Mr. Gu had made up his mind, so he ordered the other three people to go back first.
One of them had a rather regretful expression, another was indifferent, and yet another was a little angry. This person was the one who rushed to reply earlier.
A smile appeared on Li Zhongxin's face, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
It seems that Mr. Gu has been promoted to the fourth rank at a young age, and his ability is beyond doubt. Not only is he talented, he is also very good at dealing with the intrigues in the officialdom.
"Student Yun Zemin pays homage to Mr. Gu!"
"Student Wang Zhu pays homage to Master Gu!"
Yun Zemin saluted respectfully. No matter how young the other party was, they were all high-ranking officials. Even if they were over 40 years old, they still had to salute each other. And no one had an official position, so they all had to call themselves students.
When it comes to learning, those who have mastered it come first!
However, he was just a scholar. He didn't expect that Gu Chengyu would choose him. Did he think he had a big backer? Yun Zemin couldn't help but smile bitterly, but don't give up on him in the end.
If you choose yourself because you are a scholar, you probably don’t understand where you come from.
"Master Gu, Wang Su and Yun Zemin are relatively familiar with Dali Temple. If you have something to do, just tell them to do it! I still have something to do. If you don't tell me, then I will resign first!"
Gu Chengyu nodded, "Thank you very much for today. I know you are busy with official duties, so I can't bother you anymore. I still feel sorry for having you run around for so long. Let's get together when we have time in the future."
Gu Chengyu had just arrived at Dali Temple, and this person was quite enthusiastic towards him. No one in this officialdom would be nice to you for no reason, and usually they would ask for something.
Even if the other party is under Kuang Zhaoying's order, some details can still reveal that this person is willing to move closer to him.
He has just arrived and is not familiar with everything yet. Maybe he can get some information out of this person's mouth.
Li Zhongxin's face suddenly burst into laughter, "Your Majesty, your words are serious, I don't dare to serve as a low-ranking official. If I become a host to a lower-ranking official in the future, please be sure to reward me with your respect!"
He didn't care whether Gu Chengyu was speaking politely or sincerely. It was only right to climb up the pole.
Gu Chengyu smiled and nodded, and Li Zhongxin said a few more polite words before leaving.
He turned his attention to the two people standing aside who looked a little nervous. Knowing that they were not familiar with him yet, he called them into the room.
"One of you is called Yun Zemin and the other is Wang Su? Who have you worked for before?"
Gu Chengyu's gentle tone made the two of them finally feel relieved.
They came last year, but the timing of their arrival was very unlucky. There have been no new transfers of officials in Dali Temple in the past two years. The scribes used before have been used smoothly by the officials. Unless they make a big mistake, they will not change them.
of.
They had been waiting for the opportunity, and this time they finally heard that a new young minister from Dali Temple had arrived.
I thought that the original scribe would be reused, but who would have thought that the previous lord actually took the person away? This is really a God-given opportunity!
The only thing they were worried about was that they had no backers and were afraid they wouldn't be able to compete with the other three.
I didn't expect that this young adult would choose the two of them. It was an unexpected surprise.
"Student Yun Zemin has been in Dali Temple for a year. Before that, he did some errands for other adults. At that time, the student came because of the recommendation of Fang Huai, the former lecturer. The student met Master Fang by chance. Because he failed to pass the exam after repeated tests,
, and then became discouraged. Master Fang saw that the student's family was poor, so he recommended the student to join the Dali Temple to work for the adults. Unfortunately, Master Fang was removed from his official position and returned to his hometown to work as a farm servant. The student could no longer repay Master Fang's debt.
I’m so grateful, I feel so sorry!”
Gu Chengyu was so frank with Yun Zemin, and was a little surprised when he introduced himself to the family immediately.
It seems that because of this incident, Yun Zemin hit the wall many times before, otherwise the other party would not point out his origins as soon as he came up.
If some officials were able to enter the Dali Temple because Yun Zemin was only a scholar, they expressed their desire to make friends with the people behind Yun Zemin.
After this person knows the truth, he will definitely be disappointed. Then it is not impossible to find the fault and replace this person.
However, Gu Chengyu was still a little surprised that Yun Zemin was recommended by Fang Huai.
Fang Huai has been the chief examiner or deputy examiner of the provincial examination three times. It is not unusual to get to know Yun Zemin, who has taken the examination many times.
According to this, Yun Zemin still has some knowledge, but for some reason, he failed to pass the examination.
Speaking of which, it's really a pity for Fang Huai, he was completely implicated. But if flies don't stare at seamless eggs, this can only be blamed on his own greed.
Even if the money you get out of it is not much, it is still a stretch, right?
The room fell silent instantly, and Yun Zemin did not dare to look at Gu Chengyu's expression.
After waiting for a while, Gu Chengyu's voice still didn't sound in the room, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
What are you still expecting? Even if the backers behind those people are not big, they still have some connections.
But what about him? Not only does he not have a close relationship with the person who recommended him, but the person who recommended him has also been stripped of his reputation.
"Well! You must be honest. I had some friendship with Fang Huai before. He was my tutor for the provincial examination."
Gu Chengyu sighed in his heart, things are unpredictable. Who knows whether you will be a prisoner tomorrow if you are so prosperous today?
