Chapter six hundred and twentieth eight different ways
"Elder brother, what do you mean by this? Have you joined the second prince's family?" He Jisheng's eyes were shining brightly. He felt that Yin Kun had most likely become a member of the second prince's party.
Yin Kun knew at a glance that He Jisheng had misunderstood, "Not really, I'm just discussing the matter!"
He Jisheng didn't quite believe it. His suspicious look made Gu Chengyu frown tightly.
I'm afraid that Senior Brother He has already joined the eldest prince's family? Now he should be here to find out about the eldest brother.
"Jin Yu! What do you think?" He Jisheng glanced at Gu Chengyu again. Gu Chengyu had a close relationship with his teacher and senior brother, and they might have reached an agreement long ago.
As for the second senior brother, he is not too worried. The second senior brother has mediocre qualifications. If it were not for the old lady of the Wu family, he would have been eaten up by others, and even the dregs would be left.
And judging from what he just said in rebuttal to the teacher, he must not have taken sides yet.
"Ahem! Third brother, I think what the teacher said is quite reasonable. The second prince is his legitimate son after all! However, it is possible for the emperor to make the eldest prince the crown prince. After all, the eldest prince is very capable."
He Jisheng sneered, and was even more dismissive of Gu Chengyu's statement.
It seems that this junior brother is either not living up to his name or does not want to tell the truth to him. Who do you want to fool by saying such things?
"Junior brother, it doesn't make sense to say that. There are no outsiders here. Could it be that junior brother is still on guard against the senior brothers?"
He Jisheng's face showed sarcasm, which made Liang Zhirui frown.
Just as Liang Zhirui was about to speak, Gu Chengyu took up the conversation, "Third senior brother, it's not that the junior brother wants to guard against the senior brother, but that the junior brother has just entered the court not long ago, and is still a little unclear about the current situation in the court, and it is difficult to make mistakes.
Judgment. If it misleads the senior brothers, wouldn’t it be the junior brothers’ fault?”
Gu Chengyu didn't want the relationship between Liang Zhirui and He Jisheng to become more and more tense, so he explained a little to avoid making things difficult for the teacher.
"I believe all of you senior brothers have unique insights. Just listen, junior brother, I will definitely benefit a lot."
When it comes to scene talk, Gu Chengyu is no worse than others.
Speaking of this, even if He Jisheng was dissatisfied in his heart, he could no longer target Gu Chengyu, otherwise the other senior brothers would be dissatisfied with him.
"Two senior brothers, we belong to the same sect and should help each other. Junior brother feels that it is better to reach an agreement on the establishment of a prince, so as to avoid fighting against each other in the future and hurting the friendship between the senior brothers."
He Jisheng smiled, looked at the two senior brothers, and said sincerely.
But he finally glanced at Gu Chengyu and saw that Gu Chengyu was serving tea, and he felt a little dissatisfied.
If it hadn't been for the one who said he wanted to bring his fellow apprentices in, he wouldn't have wanted to come here today to make people uncomfortable.
As soon as he came, these people had reservations when talking about court affairs. Aren't they just on guard against him?
In fact, how could he not know that person's thoughts? Firstly, because of Yin Kun's position in the officialdom, but also because of Gu Chengyu.
Yes, he felt that that person just wanted to recruit Gu Chengyu, who was still in the sixth grade, to join his sect.
That person had said to him more than once that Gu Chengyu was a man of great wealth and a beautiful heart, and he was a man of great use.
If you can pull Gu Chengyu over, it will be even more powerful. Will you worry about not being able to sit in that seat in the future?
It was just a hint at first, but then he saw that he had no action. Qian'er finally couldn't wait any longer and gave himself an order to bring Gu Chengyu to their camp.
It's a pity that he and Gu Chengyu only had a face-to-face relationship before. When Gu Chengyu was in jail, he didn't help him, not even to look after her.
The teacher was very dissatisfied with him for this matter. Although he didn't show it in front of him, he felt that the teacher was much colder to him than before.
When his fellow apprentices gathered together, he always felt out of place.
With such a relationship now, how could Gu Chengyu listen to him and join that disciple?
Thinking of this, He Jisheng couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
The room suddenly fell silent, and no one answered.
Liang Zhirui sighed secretly, thinking that he was his student after all, so he broke the silence first.
"Li Ming! Which prince have you already joined?"
Liang Zhirui's words gave He Jisheng a sudden thought. Could it be that the teacher heard the news from somewhere and knew that he had joined that disciple?
"What did the teacher say? If the students had already taken sides, they would have told the teacher long ago. How could they hide it until today?"
He Jisheng's eyes flickered, but he didn't tell the truth after all.
Liang Zhirui didn't believe He Jisheng's words at all. This third disciple was probably here to test their reputation.
"Li Ming, we have a teacher-student fight, and the teacher also opened the skylight to speak frankly to you. Have you surrendered to the eldest prince?"
Liang Zhirui didn't want to beat around the bush, he wanted to persuade He Jisheng.
He and Gu Chengyu had discussed establishing the crown prince more than once before. Like him, Gu Chengyu was very optimistic about the second prince.
He believed in Gu Chengyu's vision. Gu Chengyu was very good at understanding people's hearts, not to mention his intelligence and talent.
In fact, Gu Chengyu had already revealed his choice in what he just said, but He Jisheng didn't understand Gu Chengyu and was suspicious by nature, so he would not believe it until Gu Chengyu said it clearly.
"Ah? Ah!" He Jisheng was startled at first, then his eyes flashed, and then he responded.
Gu Chengyu saw his expression in his eyes. He closed his eyes slightly to hide the surprise in his eyes. Who did he choose?
"When did it happen?" Liang Zhirui stared at He Jisheng closely and said eagerly.
He Jisheng paused for a while and then said: "It was only half a year ago."
His left hand made a circle on the thumb of his thumb, then stopped again.
Gu Chengyu glanced at him and then turned his attention to the tea bowl in front of him.
There should be no result from the talks today. What they said before was all nonsense. He Jisheng said that they didn't tell the truth, but what about himself?
Aren't you hiding something? If you can't treat others with sincerity, how can others treat you with sincerity?
"Teacher, have you already chosen the second prince?"
He Jisheng didn't say anything more about the eldest prince. He wanted to confirm this matter, otherwise it would be difficult to explain it when he returned.
"Third Senior Brother, we haven't even taken sides yet! The Emperor's health has improved, and Junior Brother is only loyal to the Emperor."
Gu Chengyu was making a statement. He didn't want to take sides at this time because there were too many uncertain factors.
The other two senior brothers also expressed their stance, saying that they had not decided yet and would have to wait and see for a few more days.
"Junior brother, you also know that the emperor will eventually establish a crown prince. Besides, the emperor is already in his sixtieth year, so junior brother it is better to make plans in advance!"
He Jisheng's words were spoken from the bottom of his heart. If the emperor was in his prime, there was no need for them to be anxious.
It's a pity that the emperor is already old. How many more years can he sit on the dragon throne? Everyone knows this, but they just don't dare to say it.
Gu Chengyu smiled and shook his head. He Jisheng probably came to be a lobbyist today.
It's a pity that he probably had concerns, so he kept it hidden and didn't say anything. He kept testing it, and he could only say that we don't agree with each other!
