Chapter nine hundred and fifty second hypocritical
Gu Chengyu put the book back on the bookshelf. Since he had not yet visited Kuang Zhaoying, it would be inappropriate to visit Ma Zhihong first.
Gu Chengyu rubbed his neck. Since Kuang Zhaoying didn't know when he would be back, he would just rest for a while.
After making up his mind, Gu Chengyu took a look at the imperial concubine's couch in the house and immediately walked over.
"Mr. Gu, are you in the house? Your Highness the Crown Prince invites you to come over to discuss matters!"
Gu Chengyu drowsily heard the noise coming from outside the house, and then heard Wang Su's questioning voice.
He sighed, okay! He wanted to be lazy, but who knew that if he wasn't looking for trouble, trouble would come to his door.
"Sir! His Royal Highness has sent someone to summon you to the East Palace to discuss matters!" Wang Zhu entered the room and saw that Gu Chengyu had already stood up and arranged her clothes.
When he entered the room just now, he found that Mr. Gu was asleep. However, he did not dare to disturb him, so he quietly left.
At that time, he was still complaining in his heart. This Lord Gu was really big-hearted. After being ignored by Lord Kuang for so long, he was still able to calm down.
Should this be said to be a big-hearted thing? Or does it mean that Mr. Gu has confidence in himself and will definitely see Mr. Kuang when he comes back.
Who would have thought that not long after, the chamberlain next to His Highness the Crown Prince came to deliver a message, saying that the Crown Prince had summoned Mr. Gu, and Wang Su felt as if he had received a reassurance.
In fact, Wang Su had heard about this gentleman's deeds before. Who in the court didn't know Gu Jinyu? Lord Gu was quite famous in the court.
He suddenly remembered that Mr. Gu seemed to have two jobs. Not only was he a young minister of Dali Temple, but he was also the prime minister of Zhan Shifu, not to mention that his teacher was also the prince's grand master!
Wang Su slapped his forehead. Mr. Gu was so capable that even His Highness the Crown Prince appreciated him. Not to mention that he was a celebrity in front of the Emperor. There was really no need to care about Mr. Kuang's neglect.
Gu Chengyu was arranging her clothes, and Wang Su naturally stepped forward to help. Gu Chengyu was stunned for a moment, and then waved away his hand.
Firstly, he was not used to being so close to strangers, and secondly, Wang Su was not his follower after all, but just a scribe working for him.
Ordering people in this way is no different from ordering servants. Isn't this demeaning? After all, he is still an official, how can he do such a trivial matter?
"I'll come as soon as I go!" Gu Chengyu felt that the prince sent him to discuss matters, mostly for the Jiangnan disaster relief and the Chamber of Commerce.
"Huh? It turns out to be Eunuch Pang. I haven't seen him for a long time. Eunuch Pang is still as charming as ever. I'm really flattered that you came to deliver the message in person!"
As soon as Gu Chengyu came out of the house, he saw Pang Chu waiting outside the door. He immediately smiled.
Although it is autumn now, autumn tigers are still very active, but it is much cooler in the morning and evening.
At this moment, the other party was standing under the big pine tree enjoying the cool air, waving his big sleeves and fanning his face vigorously.
Even the fly whisk that he used to swing around in his right hand was now hanging on the crook of his arm.
"Hey! Mr. Gu, you are so polite. Isn't it an honor for our family to come here to send a message?"
Pang Chu reluctantly put on a smile, and after a while, sweat appeared on his face again.
Gu Chengyu found it very funny. This Pang Chu was really afraid of the heat. It seemed that he was used to staying in a room with an ice basin and he had become a rich man.
"You also know that our family is fat, and we can't bear to stay outside for a long time. How about we leave now?" Pang Chu smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Gu Chengyu smiled lightly and walked forward. It seemed that the food in the Second Prince's Mansion was good in the past.
Why are the chamberlains around other princes like mung bean sprouts, and why is this one so fat? Could it be that this one had to eat all the prince's food before?
The two arrived at the East Palace one after another. Pang Chu followed Gu Chengyu closely with small steps. Looking at Gu Chengyu who was striding ahead, Pang Chu was filled with resentment.
"Your Majesty Gu Chengyu is here to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked up from the memorial and said, "Gu Shaoqing is back from Jiangnan? This trip to Jiangnan has been really hard on you."
Gu Chengyu didn't dare to say, "Your Highness said something serious. It is really the job of a lower official to share the worries of the Emperor and Your Highness."
His Royal Highness the Prince put away the memorial in his hand, then stood up and looked out the window at the lotus pond which was already beginning to show its disgrace.
"In the past, I only regarded my father as the most noble person in the world. I don't say that I can do whatever I want, but I can also make my own decisions on many things. But since my father was ill some time ago, I
Only after temporarily handling government affairs on behalf of my father did I realize that as an emperor, there will be many helplessness."
Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows. Is this a sincere sigh after temporarily acting as the emperor to supervise the country? However, in his opinion, this is completely unreasonable and hypocritical.
Who in this world can do whatever they want? Being an emperor is actually much better than ordinary people. At least he doesn't have to worry about making a living all day long.
Furthermore, even if the emperor is very tired and exhausted every day, will the prince give up the throne he is about to acquire? Will he give up the throne to other brothers?
The answer is no. Even though they know that it is not easy to be an emperor and they may die young, these princes still flock to him.
Who can give up this supreme power? Seeing those officials prostrate at his feet, the emperor's heart must be filled with indescribable satisfaction.
"The emperor has to deal with many things every day, so it is natural that he is hard-working. Those who are capable work hard. For the sake of the common people in the world, the emperor and you have a duty to do so."
Gu Chengyu made two official remarks, he couldn't say that if you feel tired, how about someone else be the prince?
The prince turned to look at Gu Chengyu, saw the seriousness on Gu Chengyu's face, and then smiled.
Fortunately, the prince might be tired of reviewing memorials, or he might be angry with a disobedient minister in the court. After a few words of emotion, he naturally changed the subject.
"You did a good job in the Jiangnan disaster relief this time. You did not expand the harm of this matter and controlled the development of the situation in a short period of time. You are indispensable."
When the prince talked about this, he couldn't help but smile. He felt relieved when Gu Chengyu was doing things.
"Your Highness is so complimentary. Mr. Hu has also contributed a lot. This is not the credit of the lower official alone." Gu Chengyu did not dare to take the credit alone. Hu Maoshen did contribute a lot, and he cannot just erase other people's contributions.
"Of course I understand Mr. Hu's contribution!"
"Your Highness, I heard that the emperor has been in poor health recently. I wonder if he is fully recovered now?"
Gu Chengyu had just returned to Beijing and expected the emperor to summon him. Of course, he had to care about the emperor's health.
"I suddenly fainted before. Not long after I was carried to the palace, my father woke up. He is now fine. However, the imperial doctor told my father to take more rest and recuperate. He was still too tired before."
Gu Chengyu nodded, these imperial doctors would only say this. The emperor had made it clear that he had great trust in Taoist Tianji, and the imperial doctors had no evidence.
