Farmer’s Way to Get Rich in Imperial Examination The first thousand one hundred and seventy-six chapters can you perform the father's job on my behalf?
The first thousand one hundred and seventy-six chapters can you perform the father's job on my behalf?
Gu Chengyu didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly ask such a question. He opened his mouth, originally thinking of comforting the emperor. But as soon as he came into contact with the emperor's firm gaze, those high-sounding words could no longer be uttered.
"If you cooperate with me in applying acupuncture, you may be able to survive for three months!" Gu Chengyu paused and said the maximum time limit.
The emperor gasped a few times after hearing the words, "It seems that this poisoning is like the king of hell urging you to die! Everything in this world will never go as expected. Even if you are an emperor, rich and powerful, so what? If the king of hell wants you to die in the middle of the night, he will not let you go.
Fifth watch! This is life! It’s not yours, and you can’t save it even if you try hard to get it!”
Gu Chengyu only felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. After entering the court, he realized that people's desires are endless, and he also realized the darkness and helplessness of officialdom.
He knew what the emperor meant. This throne was not his. He had obtained it, but he could not hold it. However, who could say clearly about the things in this world? If the emperor had not fought for it, he might have been dead.
"Can the eldest prince's eyes still heal?" The emperor's weak voice came to mind again, interrupting Gu Chengyu's thoughts.
"I'm recovering. Although I can only see some dim ghost images at the moment, it's much better than before I couldn't see anything at all." Because he had taken Gu Chengyu's pills, he naturally had to be concerned about it.
"Can it be fully recovered?"
"This little minister can't guarantee it!" Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, how could he make such a promise?
"I believe in you!" The emperor glanced at Gu Chengyu, and the deathly silence in his eyes like an icy lake suddenly rippled.
Gu Chengyu suddenly felt like something was stuck in his throat. Perhaps the eldest prince was the last hope for the emperor.
"I don't have many days to live, Gu Aiqing! I can only rely on you to guard this country from now on. I will hand over the eldest prince to you, can you perform my father's duties on my behalf?" The emperor looked at Gu Chengyu with tears in his eyes.
With pleading.
Gu Chengyu looked at the emperor in shock, "Your Majesty?"
"If you try your best, you can delay the emperor for some time. It's not hopeless. How can you be discouraged?" Gu Chengyu suddenly became incoherent. He knew that the emperor dismissed the queen mother, perhaps because he wanted to explain the funeral affairs, but he didn't know that the emperor actually
Trust him so much.
"My body, I know very well, has been exhausted, so why should I deceive myself anymore? Life is only a few decades, and now it is just ending early!"
The emperor's desolate smile made Gu Chengyu fall silent. At this moment, he felt that any amount of comfort was pale. For a person whose life span was about to expire, he probably couldn't listen to his comfort at this moment.
"The Queen Mother is getting old, and she may not be able to take care of the eldest prince for a few more years. The death of my father, the rebellion of the prince-in-law, my poisoning, and Brother Ye's blindness, each and every one of them has dealt a huge blow to the Queen Mother. She
The reason why I can still hold on now is entirely because of my faith."
The emperor coughed twice and struggled to sit up. Gu Chengyu quickly stepped forward to support the emperor's body and stuffed the pillow behind the emperor.
"Jin Yu! Do you think I am very ridiculous? An emperor who has only been emperor for three or four months will be recorded as a joke in the annals of history!" The emperor suddenly chuckled, his tone full of self-deprecation.
"This is not the Emperor's fault!" Gu Chengyu comforted him softly. In fact, he also felt that the Emperor was quite miserable.
When I sat on the throne, I thought that good times were coming. Unexpectedly, before I could enjoy the imperial power and wealth, war began in the border areas, and there were even brothers who were eyeing the throne.
It seems that the emperor has never been relaxed since he came to the throne. He is always on tenterhooks, worried that his own brother will pull him down from this position.
Therefore, being born into a royal family may not be a good thing.
"Jinyu! It's my great fortune to have your support. I thank you!" The emperor looked at Gu Chengyu and suddenly smiled brightly. He actually didn't understand why Gu Jinyu was willing to be inferior to others despite his talents.
In fact, he has many opportunities to replace him. With Gu Chengyu's ability, there is no doubt about it.
Sometimes he feels that Gu Jinyu is very contradictory. He seems to be very concerned about power and eager to climb up. But he is also very principled in doing things. If he really has the intention to rebel, how can he and the boss resist it?
?But he just didn't.
So he said that this man was very contradictory. He was obviously unwilling to be inferior to others, but he could endure bowing and kneeling to him every day. It seemed that even if he knelt down, his proud body was still unyielding, and he could not stand it.
Make people look down upon him.
Gu Jinyu is a person he cannot see through, a person who is difficult to fathom.
"The emperor's words are serious, this is what a humble minister should do." Gu Chengyu was a little uncomfortable, he was really not used to being so sensational all of a sudden.
"I thank you because you chose me. Actually, I don't understand something. Prince Gong and Prince Jing are trying to win you over. Why are you indifferent and still choose me? This is what I have always wanted to ask."
The emperor closed his eyes slightly, he was a little tired.
"Because of the pure kindness of the Emperor, no matter how hard the Emperor tries to find reasons to excuse your own kindness and soft-heartedness, you are such a person. Take the matter of Master Wu as an example, you really wanted to gain a good reputation.
Did you just let him become a monk? When you were still a prince, they all plotted against you. Why did you show mercy so many times? Whether you admit it or not, you are always a kind person, but you just don’t want to face your heart.
!”
Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, that was why he chose Zhao. Even though Zhao's performance made him a little disappointed when the emperor passed away, he still persisted in the end.
It's not that he didn't think about replacing him, but he was actually a very lazy person. The emperor's life was not easy. He took the imperial examination and became an official because of his mother and to protect the family, nothing more.
"Pure kindness?" The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Gu Chengyu, a little stunned. After a moment, he sighed.
"Father really knows how to choose a name, Zhao, because he is thick! Maybe since I was born, my father has no intention of letting me succeed to the throne?"
Born in the middle palace, he was named! However, the eldest son of a concubine was named Xian! This shows how much hope he had for the eldest son of a concubine.
"No matter what the late emperor thinks, you are the one who sits on the throne now!" It seems that the emperor has always been resentful that the late emperor did not pass the throne to him. Yes, after all, it was the emperor who came from the middle palace, so he really can't get over it.
"I have been feeling unwell for the past two days. Please stay with Brother Ye for me. I heard Pang Chu said that he likes you very much. You will have to take care of him in the future."
The emperor's voice became softer, showing that he was very tired.
"I will." Gu Chengyu agreed. He knew that Zhao Guangye was the one the emperor worried about the most.
"I'm tired, please retreat first!" The emperor said weakly, and Gu Chengyu knelt down quickly. There was still a pair of messes waiting for him in Dali Temple! The emperor's poisoning must be investigated as soon as possible.
