"Your Majesty, Gu Chengyu, has met Mr. Zhang!" Gu Chengyu entered the room, looked at Zhang Hai who was sorting out the classics in front of him, and carefully observed the expression on his face.
"Hmm! Have you finished checking the records?" Zhang Hai didn't even raise his head and just asked about the records.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he felt bad. He had already checked half of the actual record, but Zhang Hai had told him before that he could give him four days, and now it has only been one day. Could it be that Zhang Hai really planned to embarrass him?
he.
As soon as these words came out, not only Gu Chengyu felt bad, but also Zhang Hai felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, his original intention was to find a topic to start with, so as to prevent Gu Chengyu from having any prejudice against him. He was a little embarrassed to talk about the preface as soon as he started.
"My lord, not yet! You mentioned four days, but I have just edited three volumes today!"
Gu Chengyu didn't want to tell Zhang Hai the real progress, lest Zhang Hai assign him more work.
"Ahem! No rush, no rush, just take your time and edit it! I called you here today because of the previous preface."
Zhang Hai finished sorting out the history books in his hands, sat down in front of the desk, and motioned for Gu Chengyu to sit opposite him.
This move made Gu Chengyu very confused, and he was a little unsure of what Mr. Zhang meant. Did he not want to embarrass him?
"I promised you before that I would not take your credit, but I broke my promise in the end. Although I have my own reasons, breaking my promise is breaking my promise, and I am really ashamed of myself for doing such a thing that takes away your credit.
, I am here to accompany Gu Xiuzuan!"
Gu Chengyu was really surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Hai to talk to him about this matter so openly and honestly.
And things were as he expected, but Zhang Hai was in trouble.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but be startled when he saw Zhang Hai's face was sincere and his eyes were full of apologies.
In fact, if Zhang Hai didn't explain to him, he couldn't do anything to Zhang Hai, at least not for the time being.
Zhang Hai is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he plans to stay in the Hanlin Academy for the past two years, so Zhang Hai cannot be offended severely.
Otherwise, life in the Hanlin Academy would be very difficult.
"Your Majesty's words are serious, and the subordinates are frightened!" It is rare for Zhang Hai to be able to say these words, no matter what his purpose is!
After all, Zhang Hai is a senior official. Is there any senior official above the court who can apologize to his subordinates?
If it were another official, what would happen if he used you? What would happen if he took your credit? Do you still dare to be dissatisfied with him?
Zhang Hai couldn't help but nodded secretly when he saw Gu Chengyu's frightened look.
No matter what Gu Chengyu thinks in his heart, at least there is no dissatisfaction with him on the surface.
After sizing up the youngest official of the Dayan Dynasty, Zhang Hai had to admit that some people are born with unique blessings. Even if they are not given a good family background, such people can achieve hundreds and thousands of times as long as they put in a little effort.
return.
This son is talented and intelligent, and in terms of conduct and strategy, he is not inferior to those veteran ministers who are all-powerful in the court.
"Since I have done something wrong, I should tell you that I am wrong. If you encounter any difficulties in the Hanlin Academy in the future, just come to me. Other yamen dare not say that, in this three-acre land of the Hanlin Academy
, no one dares to disobey my order."
This was really unexpected. Gu Chengyu didn't expect Zhang Hai to make such a promise. Does this mean that he can walk sideways in the Hanlin Academy in the future?
"However, I am the one who can't tolerate the slightest in my eyes. If you work diligently, I will try my best to be fair. But if you stir up trouble in the Hanlin Academy, then don't blame me for being ruthless.
When the time comes, I must go to the Emperor to read your copy."
Gu Chengyu curled up his lips after hearing this, "Okay! He is overthinking. Zhang Hai is fair to his subordinates, but he looks down on these people who have strong backgrounds and do not work seriously."
Of course, except for the preface to the ceremony, this incident can be regarded as a major failure in Zhang Hai's career as an official.
I heard that Zhang Hai warned him not to be arrogant in the Hanlin Academy just because the emperor liked him. In the future, he would still have to be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner.
"My lord, please rest assured that I will be more diligent in the future and help you solve your problems."
Gu Chengyu immediately answered respectfully. He didn't expect Zhang Hai to be very partial to him, and he couldn't come to Zhang Hai after receiving unfair treatment.
Zhang Hai was very satisfied with Gu Chengyu's attitude. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and had a calm temperament.
"I'm asking you, why didn't you directly expose what I and Min Feng said that day in the imperial study?" Zhang Hai touched the beard on his chin and asked doubtfully.
Gu Chengyu suddenly thought, this is a good time to flatter him!
"Back to your lord! This matter has already involved your lord, how can I tell the whole story? Since my lord entered the Hanlin Academy, my lord has taken great care of my lord, and my lord has also guessed in my heart that my lord must have some difficulties. Outsiders have spread the rumors.
Your Majesty is upright and acts justly, how can you join other people's evil ways?"
Gu Chengyu glanced at Mr. Zhang and found that Mr. Zhang's face became slightly brighter, so he knew that this trick would work.
Wear it thousands of times, but never wear it, this is the eternal law.
He continued: "Besides, facts speak louder than words. Even if I don't say it, who among you here wouldn't understand? Even Min Feng knows it. Why should I embarrass the emperor and you?"
Gu Chengyu said a few more words, "Besides, Min Feng is the same year as Xiaguan. He did something wrong. Xiaguan can't let go of the old relationship completely. There must be room for it. I also want to give him this time."
An opportunity, in the future, I just hope he can do well for himself."
As soon as Zhang Hai heard Gu Chengyu's words, he looked at Gu Chengyu again.
No matter whether Gu Chengyu really thinks this way in his heart, it is undeniable that these words make people feel very comfortable.
Such a person has talent, strategy, and eloquence, so why worry about not being able to rise to prominence in the future?
Even if no one in the officialdom promotes him, he can still climb to a high position on his own.
"You are kind and behave like a gentleman! You also know how to leave room for action, which is good!"
Zhang Hai nodded and couldn't help but sigh, there really are such talented and beautiful people in this world.
Whoever's family has such a kid would probably smile crookedly.
Those children from aristocratic families have been taught by famous teachers since they were young, and they have devoted themselves to studying for many years, but they are still not as good as the people in front of them.
"Your Excellency, that's a ridiculous compliment! In fact, I'm just thinking about myself! But I don't deserve your praise. I'm afraid that you will be punished by the emperor and give me some shoes."
Gu Chengyu's face turned a little red and she expressed the little selfish thoughts in her heart.
Zhang Hai was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, causing Qian Jianwei and others in the room next to him to look at each other.
Qian Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Mr. Zhang, who was usually strict, to have a lively conversation with Mr. Gu. He didn't know what the two talked about.
Zhang Hai smiled and pointed at Gu Chengyu, "I am not a petty person, so don't worry."
