The time limit given by the emperor is two days, not including today. It will have to be submitted to the emperor the day after tomorrow, so Gu Chengyu is pressed for time.
The next day, Gu Chengyu washed up early in the morning, stuffed the finished booklet into his arms, and planned to visit the teacher's house.
"You haven't been here for several days. Things going well in the Hanlin Academy these days, right?"
Liang Zhirui looked at Gu Chengyu, who was sitting opposite him drinking tea, and asked with a smile.
In fact, Liang Zhirui was not worried about whether Gu Chengyu would face difficulties in the Hanlin Academy.
This young disciple is very smart and has great abilities. Even if he suffers a little loss in the first few days, he will be able to thrive like a fish in water within a few days.
"Thank you for your concern, teacher. The Hanlin Academy is busy with affairs, and those people don't have that much energy to trouble the students."
Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of Yin Kun who had already set off for Yingnan Mansion, so he asked: "This senior brother is out of Yingnan Mansion, and I don't know when he will come back."
When Liang Zhirui heard this, he suddenly thought of something and immediately frowned.
"Hmph! Xia Qing is cruel, and he can do this. I don't believe that the tribe didn't benefit him, but I'm afraid they gave him a lot! As soon as he was in trouble, he would kill him in the blink of an eye.
Sold. However, people like Xia Zhou deserve their punishment."
Liang Zhirui snorted coldly, he hated these corrupt officials the most.
Yin Kun talked to him about this matter before he left. He was very angry at the time. Even now that he thinks about it, he is still angry.
If he is still in the court, he must read his book every day.
"It's just that he was willing to give up this time. It seems that the emperor was forced to do nothing. He was somewhat sincere towards his disciple. Although he wanted to ease the relationship with the emperor, he couldn't
Disciples still account for half of the reason."
Liang Zhirui felt a little surprised that Xia Qing protected his disciples this time.
That man has a cold temperament, and his usual style is to ignore matters that have nothing to do with him.
I'm afraid he has no sincerity towards those officials who took refuge in him, and he is not merciless at all when he pushes out to block the knife.
Gu Chengyu also nodded in agreement, "Yes! If it weren't for Min Feng to get that official position, he wouldn't be so passive."
Speaking of this matter, Liang Zhirui was very satisfied with the way Gu Chengyu handled it.
"You handled this matter well and were quite prepared, otherwise you would have been tricked by the two of them. You need to be more cautious when doing things in the future."
Gu Chengyu had written a handwritten letter to tell him about this matter before. Gu Chengyu felt that Liang Zhirui was his teacher, so he naturally had to tell the teacher about things that did not need to be kept secret.
Otherwise, if the teacher hears about it from other people in the future, it will hurt the relationship between master and disciple.
Besides, Xia Qing is the teacher’s old enemy. If Xia Qing suffers a loss, why shouldn’t he make the teacher feel better?
"It was handled well after that. Don't go out and publicize such things. Outsiders will know when they should know. If you go out and say it, you will inevitably be suspected of being small-minded. Besides, it also involves the transaction between the emperor and Xia Qing, and the emperor also
I won’t like you emptying the treasury and causing uproar in the city.”
Liang Zhirui thought more about it than Gu Chengyu. Even though the treasury was not full, everyone in the court knew about it.
But as soon as you said that, you pulled out the carrot and brought out the mud. Everyone knew that the emperor forced Xia Qing, so where should the emperor's face be put?
There are always smart people in the officialdom. For some officials, if you think about it carefully, you will know that Gu Chengyu will end up being a villain in vain.
The main reason is that everyone knows that Xia Qing loves money. Of course, they will not believe that Xia Qing will willingly kill his relatives.
After listening to the teacher's words, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Jiang is still hotter with age.
He naturally understood what the teacher meant. Other officials would definitely know about this matter. It was just a matter of time, but this matter could not come out of his mouth.
As for how other people knew, it was just speculation or inquiry, and it had nothing to do with him anyway.
"Teacher, then Senior Brother's trip to Yingnan Mansion should go smoothly this time, right? Isn't your second son-in-law serving as the judge in Yingnan Mansion? This matter will not involve him, right?"
What Gu Chengyu meant was whether the teacher had written to his second son-in-law.
But when the time comes, Yan Huinong's buttocks are not clean, and his senior brother finds out. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Even if his senior brother intended to cover him up, it would cause a lot of trouble, wouldn't it?
The emperor has already given the opportunity. Just find a few of the most ostentatious people in this matter. There is no need to go to war.
Liang Zhirui is a mature man, how could he not understand what Gu Chengyu means?
"I wrote the letter a long time ago, you! I don't know if all this fussing around in the officialdom was born in the womb."
Liang Zhirui sighed a little, this disciple seemed to be born with ease in manipulating power.
Sometimes even he had to admire his sensitivity towards government affairs.
Gu Chengyu touched his nose and said awkwardly: "I am obviously very pure and simple."
These words made Liang Zhirui roll his eyes, "There is one more thing to add, thick skin seems to be innate."
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. His teacher had not been in a happy mood since he came to the capital.
What should the teacher be worried about? It’s not because of Miss Yao’s marriage.
Liang Zhirui was not idle during this period, and often contacted those who had been close to him before. However, Gu Chengyu heard from Yin Kun that the situation did not seem optimistic.
He didn't find it strange at all. The teacher had left the officialdom for many years. The real aristocratic family would definitely not be happy to marry the granddaughter of the former chief minister to be their junior wife.
Yao Mengxian's status is indeed not low. She is the legitimate daughter of the chief minister of the Duke's palace, and her father is also the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
If things continue as before, those aristocratic families will definitely have leveled the threshold of the Duke's Mansion.
It's a pity that Yao Mengxian's identity is also very embarrassing. Her grandmother doesn't know her, and her grandfather and father don't pay much attention to her.
Not to mention the stepmother, saying she doesn't like her is just a slight, but there are many things that can cause stumbling blocks.
It's hard to say that the stepmother was holding back some bad tricks and wanted to marry Yao Mengxian casually, although the old Duke and the Crown Prince would definitely not agree.
After all, there is still value in the marriage between a legitimate daughter and a noble family, but there are many families that are full of flowers on the surface but ruined on the inside.
The men in the Duke's Mansion don't care whether you live a comfortable life or not, they just want to marry the girl as long as they can get enough benefits.
How many women in ancient times were married to a wealthy family and looked very glamorous, but what kind of temperament did their husbands have?
Not to mention the dandies, some of them also have some shady habits and hidden diseases, which deceive women for the rest of their lives.
Like Yao Mengxian, the teacher would naturally be upset if he failed at a high level or at a low level. However, that was someone else's family matter, and Gu Chengyu couldn't talk too much.
"Student, come here today. I have one more thing to ask the teacher."
