"Your Majesty, what I did at the time was just for my own convenience. If there were any mistakes or omissions, wouldn't it have misled many colleagues?" Gu Chengyu pretended to smile shyly, and at the same time cursed in his heart.
It's okay to hand over the book, which can be regarded as his merit.
But if those people took the opportunity to stumble him, or if they themselves made a mistake and put the blame on him, wouldn't he be in big trouble?
Of course, he must make it clear in front of the emperor first, so that if any problems arise in the future, don't blame him.
How could the emperor not know the little Jiujiu in Gu Chengyu's heart? He laughed dumbly, but Gu Chengyu's thoughts were very clear. He was afraid of getting into trouble, and he was also afraid of being stumbling upon him.
"Of course, this can only be compiled after other yamen have reviewed it."
The emperor glanced at the other two people, feeling unhappy again.
When it comes to the crime of deceiving the emperor, the two of them are not enough. Are there not many officials in the court who deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates? Although he is an emperor, don't the officials below him still deceive him?
There are too few officials in the DPRK and China who can act as eyes and ears, the cabinet has too much power, and the DPRK and China have lost balance.
He was also the one who suppressed those aristocratic families so hard in the early years, and now they are suppressed and dare not take the lead.
If this continues, he, the emperor, will soon be outcast. Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but become anxious.
"Zhang Hai!" The emperor suddenly shouted, making Zhang Hai tremble with fright.
He quickly stepped forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, this is indeed a minor dereliction of duty. Please forgive me!"
Zhang Hai has already seen the emperor's attitude. At most, he just neglected his duties! It's not a big crime.
Although everyone understands the details of it, it is not stated openly after all. It is impossible for the emperor to hold on to this, otherwise there will be no officials available in the court.
The emperor naturally understands this truth, but it is definitely not enough to let him go like this. Small punishments and big warnings are still necessary.
"Zhang Hai! As a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, you can't show favoritism to your subordinates. You are also a veteran minister for many years, and you want to get away with it if you neglect your duty? What's more, the Hanlin Academy mostly has history books and records, etc., if you
With such a reckless temper, I think your position as a bachelor is at an end!" The emperor shouted coldly.
These words frightened Zhang Hai even more and he fell to the ground, "Your Majesty! This time it is indeed a humble minister who is reckless, please show mercy to your Majesty!"
Zhang Hai was really frightened this time. When the emperor spoke just now, his cold gaze made Zhang Hai tremble in his heart.
There are many talented people in the Hanlin Academy. Without Zhang Hai, there are more people to take over.
He is not Xia Qing. There are many party members in the DPRK, so he is not afraid.
And he is just a small bachelor, that is, an official of the fifth rank.
Nowadays, there are many talents in the Hanlin Academy, and Gu Chengyu is even more outstanding. It will take many years to surpass his rank.
The emperor was very satisfied with Zhang Hai's attitude when he saw him. Zhang Hai had worked hard in the Hanlin Academy for so many years and his ability was not bad.
Not to mention forming cliques in the court, and not getting close to the princes. The emperor liked these things about him, and he still had some affection for him, so he only planned to give him some punishment.
"Since you are diligent in your daily work, I will only punish you with one year's salary this time. If there is another time, don't blame me for not remembering the old relationship!"
The emperor's eyes were sharp and he stared at Zhang Hai, which frightened Min Feng standing aside and made him sweat even more.
Master Zhang was fined one year's salary, what about his turn? How will the emperor punish him?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing mercy!" Zhang Hai kowtowed several times and breathed a sigh of relief, finally passing the test.
"De'an! Go and invite Xia Shoufu!" The emperor turned to De'an and said.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but feel envious. The salary level of the first assistant was really different!
The one who went to summon him turned out to be Manager Chen who was beside the emperor. It seemed that the emperor was very afraid of Xia Qing.
But what does it mean to call Xia Qing over? Does it mean to call Xia Qing over and give him a scolding? Probably not, right?
Min Feng really had no clue about this matter. It was impossible for him to tell the emperor that Min Feng had not discussed the preface with him.
Xia Qing and the others would lose face by telling them, but the emperor would also be in trouble, and he might not be able to get away with it.
Anyway, everyone understands it tacitly, so there is no need to say it clearly.
Besides, the booklet produced later could prove that Min Feng was lying, and if the emperor ordered officials to compile the book with reference to this booklet, then his contribution would be indispensable.
So there is no need to argue with such a shameless person, otherwise others will call him a petty person.
"Go and kneel outside!" When Gu Chengyu saw the emperor pointing at Zhang Hai, he knew that he was talking to Zhang Hai.
Zhang Hai was already kneeling. After listening to the emperor's words and seeing that the emperor was referring to him, he quickly obeyed the order. He stood up and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving the imperial study.
Then, the emperor turned his attention to Min Feng. Regardless of whether what Min Feng said before was true or not, but Min Feng couldn't answer his question, which was disrespectful to him.
How can a prostitute be so incompetent in talent and knowledge?
"You also go and kneel outside!"
Min Feng hurriedly knelt down to apologize, and then left the imperial study to accompany Zhang Hai.
In fact, Min Feng was also full of grievances, so how could he not be unjust?
Originally, he was a noble scholar and looked down upon such behavior. In the end, he listened to the teacher and did this.
Let's talk about the law that the emperor asked about before. In fact, if you go to the Hanlin Academy and ask those concubines now, most of them don't know. It's not surprising that Min Feng doesn't know, but who calls him unlucky?
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but feel a little gloating in his heart. Xia Qing and Min Feng made the mistake of not positioning themselves correctly. They were both too impatient. In fact, Gu Chengyu was also puzzled. Is Xia Qing's eyelids so shallow?
Could it be that Xia Qing really set his sights on the position of serving as an attendant? These people really dared to think that Min Feng, like him, had just come to the Hanlin Academy to dream of that position.
Although Min Feng had his back against a big tree, Gu Chengyu was not envious at all.
Xia Qing didn't necessarily think much of Min Feng. This time it was so risky, but Xia Qing still let Min Feng do it.
If it were his teacher, he would never have allowed him to take such a big risk. No! His teacher would not have done such a despicable thing.
In fact, Gu Chengyu misunderstood Xia Qing. Xia Qing did not expect that the emperor valued Gu Chengyu so much.
It was also wrong to know that Gu Chengyu not only read the relevant books on Huidian, but also made a more detailed preface.
The emperor turned around and sat down in front of the imperial cabinet. Looking at the piles of memorials in front of him, he couldn't help feeling irritated.
Gu Chengyu heard the commotion and glanced at the emperor, only to find that the emperor was looking at the memorial in front of him with a frown on his face.
"Xiao Quanzi! Give Gu Aiqing a seat!"
After De'an left just now, he ordered Xiao Quanzi to come to the imperial study to serve the emperor.
The emperor was indispensable for his services. De'an wanted to invite the chief minister, so he had to call Xiao Quanzi over.
