Gu Chengyu and the others talked for nearly half an hour, and when they finally left, they didn't say anything about the matter.
"Teacher, I came here as soon as I left the Hanlin Academy, and I haven't eaten yet!"
In the end, Gu Chengyu refused to leave and had to eat before returning home.
He left work a little late today. After leaving the Hanlin Academy, he went straight to the Liang Mansion.
"Look, I didn't want to ask you." Liang Zhirui was a little annoyed. It had already been two hours and Gu Chengyu was probably hungry.
"Manager Liang, please let the big kitchen cook some food."
Gu Chengyu waited until there were only two people left in the outer study room, and then he spoke, "Teacher! I'm afraid it's not the eldest prince who the third senior brother has taken refuge with!"
Liang Zhirui was shocked when he heard this, "How can you say this?"
Gu Chengyu pondered for a while and said: "The students only speculated that the third senior brother may have joined Prince Jing's sect."
"What? This is impossible!" Liang Zhirui couldn't believe that He Jisheng had the courage to burn the cold stove?
"He was clearly exaggerating the prince before. If he surrendered to Prince Jing, why would he still argue for the eldest prince in front of us?"
This was Liang Zhirui's basis. He Jisheng had previously exaggerated that the prince was smart and capable! The meaning was obvious.
"Then what if he is loyal to two masters at the same time, one openly and the other secretly?"
Gu Chengyu shook his head. In fact, he was not sure.
He said this because when the teacher said that Liang Zhirui had turned to the eldest prince, the eldest prince looked a little unnatural.
And although he didn't meet He Jisheng often, he found that He Jisheng had a habit.
When what he thinks in his heart does not match what he says, he always makes some movements with his hands.
He Jisheng wore a jade ring on his left thumb, and just now he was spinning the ring with his finger. Then he may have realized that he had this problem, so he only turned it in one circle and then stopped.
However, this is just my guess!
"What's this? Talk to me." Liang Zhirui looked solemn. He believed that Gu Chengyu would not make the mistake without aim.
"It's just that on the surface he has taken refuge with the eldest prince, but secretly he has a close relationship with Prince Jing."
Gu Chengyu said this after careful consideration. Although he had no evidence, he thought it was very likely.
Liang Zhirui walked back and forth in the room, obviously angry.
"He is playing with fire and setting himself on fire. Is the eldest prince easy to get along with? If the eldest prince notices, he will be forced to walk away without food."
Gu Chengyu sneered, "The eldest prince is not easy to get along with, and Prince Jing is not easy to fool. This person is used to being forbearing, strategic, and even more cruel than the eldest prince."
Gu Chengyu had told Liang Zhirui about Prince Jing before, so of course Liang Zhirui also knew the true face of Prince Jing.
"If Prince Jing could be half as benevolent as the Second Prince, I would let you choose him without hesitation. It's a pity that he is too violent. Even if he is wise and decisive, I will not agree with you taking refuge in him."
Liang Zhirui had high hopes for this young disciple. He did not agree with Prince Jing and did not want the young disciple to seek refuge with Prince Jing.
He always felt that Prince Jing could never succeed. Judging from the incident involving Gu Chengyu's second uncle, he was too domineering.
If you want to recruit good talents and generals for urgent use, it is useless to rely on means alone, you must also rely on sincerity. Who can feel comfortable with such a calculation?
Even if you are forced to serve him in the end, how can you be convinced?
"Students know! It's just that things in the world are unpredictable, and there will always be times when life is unsatisfactory."
Gu Chengyu sighed, sometimes the agencies made plans, but they still couldn't get what they wanted.
"Alas! This third disciple, I thought he was greedy for merit and rushed forward, and I have tried to dissuade him countless times. Although your second senior brother has mediocre qualifications, he does things steadily. Even if he does not make any great achievements in his life, when he reaches the official position, he will only be promoted two more levels. It's not difficult. It's just a pity that your third senior brother didn't listen to the advice, always thinking that opportunities don't just come, they have to be taken proactively."
Suddenly, he laughed again, then pointed at Gu Chengyu and said: "His temperament is similar to yours. Both of you are unwilling to be mediocre."
It's a pity that Gu Chengyu is capable and successful in doing things, so there is nothing wrong with doing so.
But it is always unreliable for He Jisheng to place his hopes on others. This is the difference between him and Gu Chengyu.
"Teacher, don't worry too much. This matter is just the student's guess. If the teacher is still worried, the student will immediately ask someone to check the recent movements of the third senior brother. The third senior brother's father-in-law is Dong Zhen of Taipu Temple, maybe Dong Jian Matchmaking. If you start with him, you may gain something."
Gu Chengyu also speculated that He Jisheng had won Dong Jian's appreciation and became Weng's son-in-law.
He had also gotten to know Dong Jian, he was very courageous and ruthless.
Otherwise, given his age, even with the help of his family, he would not be able to rise to the third rank so quickly.
Liang Zhirui shook his head, "You managed to get rid of Prince Jing before, how can I let you take risks again? Besides, what if you find out? Your third senior brother will not listen to me, I will tell you your guess. The other two senior brothers, lest they"
Liang Zhirui said no more, Gu Chengyu knew what he meant.
It was just that he was afraid that the two senior brothers would be plotted by He Jisheng, especially the eldest brother.
After a few peaceful days, who would have thought that a big event would happen today.
Gu Chengyu is compiling the sub-volumes of the Huidian. He has only completed less than half of the criminal sub-volumes and needs to speed up the process recently.
Qiu Yifan entered the house from outside. Gu Chengyu saw that he was holding a book in his hand. He must have been looking for books related to the Huidian.
It's just that after he entered the room, he didn't do anything immediately. Instead, he sat in his seat in a daze.
He looked at Gu Chengyu, his eyes sparkling.
"Ahem! Mr. Gu, I heard that the eldest prince was assassinated."
Gu Chengyu was shocked, "The eldest prince was assassinated? How could this happen?"
"Master Gu hasn't heard about it yet? That's right. This happened just yesterday. Master Gu must not have received the news yet."
"Please Sir Qiu, please elaborate on this matter." Gu Chengyu cupped his hands and looked like he was listening attentively.
"Master Gu, you don't need to be polite, and I don't know much. I heard that the eldest prince went to Hejian Mansion a few days ago because of the family murder case, and was assassinated on his way back to the capital."
Qiu Yifan simply narrated a few sentences. He also heard what his father-in-law's entourage said. The specific things will not be known until he returns from work.
"Is the eldest prince in any serious condition? Has the assassin been caught?" Gu Chengyu asked quickly.
Qiu Yifan shook his head, "I heard that the injury was a bit serious. I just returned to the mansion last night. The emperor has sent the imperial physician over for diagnosis and treatment. However, the imperial physician has not left the eldest prince's residence yet, so we have no way of knowing. As for the assassin, for the time being, we It’s even harder to know.”
Gu Chengyu fell into deep thought after hearing this. The imperial doctor entered the house and has not come out yet. Could it be that the injury is very serious?
