While walking with Xiao Quanzi on the way to the imperial study, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh, how long had he been in the Hanlin Academy? He had already been summoned by the emperor three times.
"Eunuch Quan! I and Eunuch Quan are really destined to be together. Eunuch Quan came to summon me three times, and I bothered Eunuch Quan to make a trip." Gu Chengyu said with a smile towards Xiao Quanzi.
When Xiao Quanzi heard this, his eyes narrowed with laughter, and he quickly waved his hands and said: "Master Gu, are you too polite? Our family was also summoned by the emperor's order. It is our family's responsibility. How dare you say that? Is it trouble?"
Xiao Quanzi is young, only sixteen or seventeen years old at most. He has a very fair face and a pair of curved eyebrows, which makes people fond of him just by looking at him.
In fact, what Xiao Quanzi didn't say was that the first time he was curious about Mr. Gu and asked to go there on his own initiative.
The latter two times were specially appointed by the emperor. There are definitely not many officials in the DPRK who can have this honor.
Chamberlains also have class. Of course, someone like him cannot always do errands.
Of course, except for officials like Mr. Chen who have invited high-ranking officials of the second rank or above in the DPRK, other officials do not have such qualifications.
"Eunuch Quan! How has the emperor been feeling these past two days?" Gu Chengyu did not directly ask Xiao Quanzi why the emperor summoned him. After all, Xiao Quanzi would definitely not know about the secret fold that was discussed before.
Xiao Quanzi smiled knowingly, Master Gu was indeed a handsome-faced man, no wonder the emperor liked to talk to him.
"Lord Gu! The emperor seems to be in a better mood recently. Don't worry, sir."
Xiao Quanzi had observed the emperor's face before coming and found that the emperor was in a pretty good mood, so he dared to say that he was relieved.
Gu Chengyu thought for a moment after hearing this. It seemed that the emperor was in a good mood, otherwise Xiao Quanzi would not have said this.
The emperor was still worried about the memorial a few days ago, but his mood has become better in the past two days. It seems to be related to Xia Shoufu's incident.
That's right, Xia Qing was crying in the court yesterday, and the story of annihilating relatives for justice has spread throughout the court.
However, Gu Chengyu and Ren Ge, who live in the same room as him, don't know the specific inside story yet.
In this room, Liu Zonghan's connections in the Hanlin Academy are relatively wide, but unfortunately the officials he knows are not of high rank, so he doesn't know the details of what just happened yesterday.
Gu Chengyu didn't go to his senior brother's place yesterday, so naturally he didn't know.
I only heard that Xia Shoufu's clan members had embezzled a lot of money and were tricked by Xia Shoufu into seeing the emperor.
In fact, Gu Chengyu didn't need to ask Yin Kun and they knew that the amount of money was definitely not a small amount.
All this money has to be handed over to the treasury. If you want to ask why Xia Qing is so willing, you have to think of the emptiness of the treasury.
That money can just enrich the national treasury, but how could Xia Qing be so selfless? That should have something to do with the emperor.
The trigger for this incident was his preface, which he deduced from the fact that Min Feng was ordered to rest at home.
There must be a deal between the emperor and Xia Qing. The emperor might be worried about the empty treasury, so wouldn't Min Feng and Xia Qing just happen to bump into each other?
This time it was Min Feng's good luck. It seemed that the emperor did not want to make a big deal out of the matter and had given Xia Qing some face. Min Feng would not be punished any more.
As for whether Xia Qing will be implicated because of his clan members' affairs, don't think about it.
Now that Xia Qing has achieved this, the emperor cannot force him anymore. Judging from the current situation in the court, Xia Qing cannot move yet.
So this matter was thunderous again, Xia Qing made a contribution to the treasury, and the relationship between the emperor and Xia Qing was somewhat eased.
After thinking about all the possible reasons why the emperor summoned him, and having a countermeasure in mind, Gu Chengyu went to the imperial study room with ease.
"Your Majesty! Master Gu is here!" Xiao Quanzi led Gu Chengyu to wait outside the imperial study while he himself came in to report.
Even if the emperor summons you, you cannot enter the imperial study at will without the emperor's permission.
"Let him come in!" The emperor raised his head from the fold and said in a gentle tone.
The cabinet has finally returned to normal in the past two days. Those votes are very useful, and the emperor has saved a lot of effort.
However, he thought about the secret folding matter, and it seemed that it had to be implemented sooner. But he was worried about the treasury these days, and he was in a irritable mood, so he didn't have the time to think about it.
"Your Majesty, Gu Chengyu, respectfully bids you His Majesty's greetings!" Gu Chengyu entered the imperial study room, lifted up his robe as usual, and knelt down to greet him.
He had more opportunities to meet the saints than others, but he also knelt down more times.
"Pingshen!" The emperor felt better every time he saw this young man.
His dynasty should have more young officials like this who look energetic.
He was tired of looking at those familiar old faces every day.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu Chengyu straightened up, lowered his head respectfully, and looked at the flower carpet laid on the ground.
"Gu Aiqing! You said that as a king, I still have many troubles to worry about. The emperor has been fooled and is always unhappy."
The emperor threw away the memorial, sat up from the chair, and took a few steps towards the window.
Gu Chengyu's scalp tightened. It seemed that the emperor had something to worry about again. He had to ask him to tell him that he had to fulfill his promise.
If you want to ask what kind of promise he made, wasn't his previous statement about sharing worries and working hard and doing everything possible very smooth? The emperor is here to test the truth of what he said.
"The emperor is the king of a country, so he naturally has to work hard for state affairs. Everyone says that those who are capable work harder. For the sake of the common people in the world, I can only wrong you, the emperor."
Gu Chengyu just thought, if you become the head of a farmer's family, you don't have enough to eat, don't wear warm clothes, and have to work every day, I wonder if you will feel miserable.
The emperor was very happy when he heard this. Gu Aiqing is good at talking. Those who can do more work, isn't that right?
"What Gu Aiqing said makes sense. I don't want to complain. It's just that I'm old and often unable to do what I can."
The emperor moved his gaze from the window to Gu Chengyu, as if waiting for Gu Chengyu's answer.
Gu Chengyu's heart suddenly trembled. He heard that the emperor hated people saying he was old, so naturally he couldn't follow the emperor's words.
"Your Majesty! You are still in good health, so why are you old? However, have you often felt tired and weak recently?"
The emperor couldn't help but nodded. He knew in his heart that this was due to his age.
However, Gu Chengyu's words still pleased him, and he couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face.
De'an on the side twitched his face, and found it difficult for Mr. Gu to compliment the emperor without changing his expression. He was quite thick-skinned.
Gu Chengyu didn't directly say that the emperor was young, he only used the word "strong and strong". In fact, he didn't want to go against his will because he really couldn't say it.
In ancient times, men had three wives and four concubines, and they did not age slower than women.
What's more, the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards. How many women in the harem are waiting for the emperor to favor him, and they will be squeezed dry.11
