As soon as the emperor asked this question, Zhang Hai hesitated even more.
The emperor was very satisfied with this preface. How could he be willing to give credit to Xia Qing's lineage?
Gu Chengyu was extremely talented, but he offended Xia Qing and hindered Xia Qing's junior disciple's promotion path. Xia Qing was cruel and ruthless, and there was no way he would attack Gu Chengyu in the future.
Although Zhang Hai is upright, he is not pedantic. Because of Xia Qing's targeting, Gu Chengyu's future official career will definitely be extremely bumpy. After today, he will give Gu Chengyu more compensation in the future and clear some obstacles for him.
This is what he owes Gu Chengyu, and he will definitely pay it back twice as much in the future. After thinking about this, he no longer has any worries.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Wei Chen heard from his subordinates that this was written by Min Feng, the new editor of the Hanlin Academy. Wei Chen felt that this preface was very detailed and meaningless to the officials of the six ministries and the chief minister, so Wei Chen dared to submit it to
The emperor has seen it."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Hai breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Oh? Min Feng? But he is Xia Shoufu's junior disciple?"
When the emperor heard the name, he narrowed his eyes slightly. Naturally, he had some impression of this young man. Originally, his talent and learning were higher than those of Fu Yanshan, who was second in the list, but in the end he selected him as the top talent.
It is precisely because of this that the cabinet was very slack during this period, but he was helpless.
"Back to the emperor, it is this man! It is said that he fought at night by burning the midnight oil and could do it in one day."
He took the first step, thinking about compensating Gu Chengyu in the future. What Zhang Hai said next was logical and natural.
Besides, he didn't say anything to death, he just said that he heard from the officials below. Even if the emperor knew the truth, he could evade it by saying that he heard it wrong.
He is an upright man, but he is also a politician. When it comes to the twists and turns in officialdom, he is not inferior to other cunning officials, but he usually doesn't want to make such calculations!
Preserving oneself wisely is an essential skill in the officialdom, otherwise he would not be able to gain a firm foothold in the Hanlin Academy. Xia Qing had long wanted to install officials from his own faction and take away his position as a bachelor.
If he hadn't been vigilant and tried his best to do things without leaving any clues, how could he still be sitting on this position? Don't look at the fact that the position of bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is only the fifth rank, and he has no other positions, but he is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
The position is that of a close minister of the emperor, and there are many opportunities for him not to be summoned by the emperor due to his authority.
"Oh? According to what you said, then this man's talent is really remarkable." The emperor looked at Zhang Hai carefully before placing the book in his hand on the imperial desk. Min Feng was Xia Qing's disciple, and in his heart
Suspicion arose.
Zhang Hai was shocked when he heard the sound. He raised his head carefully and looked at the emperor, only to find that the emperor was looking at him with squinted eyes. Zhang Hai was startled. Could it be that the emperor had already seen the clues? Otherwise, why would he have such an attitude?
"He has only been in the Hanlin Academy for a few days, so I don't know how talented he is. If the emperor has no objection to this, then the Hanlin Academy will take the preface as the standard and start compiling the canon."
For some reason, although the emperor did not show his displeasure, he felt it from the emperor's tone. He quickly stopped mentioning the matter and directly talked about compiling the ceremony. He had done what he should do, and the rest
It's all about Xia Shoufu.
"Oh? Since you said it was his fault, I would like to call him here to praise him. Come on, go to the Hanlin Academy and ask Editor Min to come over!"
The emperor suddenly wanted to see Min Feng, but Zhang Hai was startled. I don't know if Xia Shoufu has explained the order to Min Feng. If not, wouldn't calling him now mean to betray him?
Min Feng was standing opposite Xia Qing with a livid face. He clenched his hands into fists and looked at Xia Qing with unwillingness in his eyes.
"Don't be burdened in your heart. You must know that this is very common in official circles. This is a good opportunity. You want to become an attendant. If you don't have any merit, you will not be able to talk to the emperor as a teacher." Xia Qing sat on Minfeng.
Opposite him, looking at Min Feng whose face turned gloomy, he had no choice but to persuade him patiently.
"But this is Gu Chengyu's doing. How could I take credit for someone else's work? If people find out, they will be disdainful." Min Feng was called over by Xia Qing just now. He thought that there was something about his promotion, but he didn't expect it.
I heard this news.
It is true that he and Gu Chengyu are always on the same page, but whether he wins or loses, everyone depends on his own ability. Now that he has become a disciple of Xia Shoufu, he already has a backer in the officialdom. He is confident that he can go faster than Gu Chengyu. But the teacher has just finished the preface.
As soon as his son told him, he felt a little angry.
He is a human being, and he is more noble and arrogant than a scholar in his bones. Such things that take advantage of other people's achievements make him very disdainful.
As soon as Xia Qing saw it, he knew that Min Feng had gone too far. Min Feng had just entered the officialdom and didn't know the dangers of it. He didn't blame Min Feng. After a few years, Min Feng would know that such a thing would happen in the officialdom.
It’s common. If someone else takes away your credit and you have no connections, who will stand up for you in the officialdom?
If you encounter such a thing, you are either mute or coptis. You can't express your suffering? You can only admit that you are unlucky.
When he first entered the officialdom, was he not as arrogant as Min Feng? But within a few years, he suffered a lot. At that time, he did not have a high-ranking teacher to back him up, and was regarded as a stepping stone by others.
In the end, he realized that no pride or pride was as important as power. But Min Feng was luckier than him. He became his disciple and made fewer detours than he did before. But at the same time, Min Feng was also unlucky. At that time, he was still alive.
Won the emperor's attention.
But now, before the emperor really trusts him, he may not like Min Feng anymore. However, as long as he is here, as his close disciple of Xia Qing, he will not treat this disciple badly.
"You are too young, and you are new to the officialdom. You don't know that such things are common. I would like to advise you, please put away the arrogance and arrogance of those people. You think you will have a bad face if others find out about this.
It’s dull, but others don’t think so.”
Xia Qing took a sip of tea and saw that the gloomy look on Min Feng's face receded a little, and then continued: "As long as you can take credit from others, that's your ability. When you get to a high position, there will be more
You are a flatterer, who remembers your past?"
Even if he remembered it, he wouldn't dare to say it in front of you. Xia Qing didn't bother to say the last sentence. He just said this. If Min Feng still couldn't figure it out, then there was no need for him to place high hopes on Min Feng.
What he wants is a good disciple who knows everything, is smart and knowledgeable. If he is stubborn and stubborn, he has no interest in trying to break his temper with this disciple.
Min Feng wanted to say something else, but when he looked up, he saw that Xia Qing's face also darkened. He knew that the teacher did this because of him. If he didn't know how to praise him, he might make the teacher unhappy. Besides, this matter was a foregone conclusion, and he
There is no way to save it.
Then he forced a smile and said, "Then it will be as the teacher said! Thank you very much, teacher, for thinking about the students. It was the students who thought wrong before." 11
