Besides, if he does not stay in the Hanlin Academy for three years, what will happen if the emperor or the new emperor, Xia Qing and others use this as an excuse to prevent him from joining the cabinet?
This is impossible!
"Your Majesty! The minister was transferred out of the Imperial Academy not long after he entered the Imperial Academy. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Gu Chengyu was a little embarrassed and asked tentatively.
"What? You don't want to go to Dali Temple?" The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly and his expression darkened.
Gu Chengyu knew that he was a bit ignorant of promotion, but for the sake of the position of chief minister in the future, he had to bite the bullet and replied: "Actually, this matter is not urgent. When there is a vacancy, your Majesty, you can just think about the minor ministers."
The emperor was silent for a long time, "I just keep my promise, and I will not change my promise. Since you don't want to go to Dali Temple, then stay in the Hanlin Academy first!"
Gu Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although the emperor had no further promotion, he knew that if there was a vacancy in the Hanlin Academy, the emperor would definitely fulfill his promise.
"Mingmo, go to Mr. Yin's house first."
Gu Chengyu had just left his job and was about to go to his teacher's house to talk to him about Yao Mengxian's marriage.
But he thought about it, it had been almost a month since he left the capital, and he had better go to his senior brother first to find out what was going on in the court.
"You're finally back. It's been almost a month since you went to Hejian Mansion this time." Yin Kun was overjoyed to see Gu Chengyu return.
"This time I have something urgent to do, and I would like to thank my senior brother for making arrangements in the capital. Otherwise, the evidence I collected would not be able to reach Tianting directly."
Gu Chengyu smiled, this time it was also thanks to Yin Kun.
Lu Chen had the support of Zhan Yuanhou Mansion, so he didn't have to worry. When he was in Hejian Mansion, he sent the evidence to the capital.
And if he hadn't had Yin Kun's help, his movements would have been a step slower.
"I didn't expect that when you went to Hejian Mansion this time, you would accomplish such a big thing. This case is very involved, and there may be big changes in the capital next."
Yin Kun looked stern and did not exchange greetings with Gu Chengyu. Instead, he analyzed the movements in the court to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised that the Hejian Mansion case had such great influence?
Is it possible that many officials in the capital were involved? I didn’t expect that it would affect the whole body!
If he hadn't been in a low-ranking official position, he might have really made a great contribution, and it would be easy to get promoted and make a fortune.
"Are many officials in the capital involved? Then the emperor may make big moves this time."
Gu Chengyu first thought about establishing a crown prince. Although he had just gone to the Hanlin Academy today to attend the ceremony, the atmosphere in the Hanlin Academy was a bit stagnant. The officials were whispering, and he also listened.
The emperor couldn't stand it any longer and was about to establish a prince.
"That's right! You just returned to the capital, so you don't know something. During this period, during the court meeting, more than half of the officials united to ask the emperor to establish a prince as soon as possible. But the emperor was still undecided. The courtiers were excited and the emperor was about to suppress it.
I can’t stand it any longer. Furthermore, those officials showed no mercy to the Emperor, and spoke fiercely, as if they would not give up until the crown prince was established!"
Yin Kun poured a bowl of tea for Gu Chengyu, and then looked at Gu Chengyu with a sad expression on his face.
"You mean that the emperor will appoint a prince in the next two days. Then the incident in Hejian Mansion will give the emperor an excuse, and maybe some people will be severely punished?"
Gu Chengyu thought for a moment and came to this conclusion. As long as the emperor has a candidate in mind, the emperor will inevitably suppress other forces.
The best way is to cut off some of the wings of those parties, otherwise it is still unclear whether that person can hold the position of prince firmly.
This time, the emperor happened to take advantage of the incident in Hejian Mansion and cleared away all the unsightly matters.
Yin Kun showed admiration on his face. This young junior brother has always been someone who knows the elegant meaning of string music and takes one step at a time.
"That's right! Your analysis is right. Let's not talk about those who are greedy and bribery. Just because of the treasure map, they have a handle in the emperor's hands. This time, all parties are competing for the treasure map. You.
Do you think the emperor only sent you to Hejian Mansion? That is of course impossible. The emperor must be well aware of the situation in Hejian Mansion, so don’t act rashly!"
Yin Kun glanced at Gu Chengyu thoughtfully, which was considered advice.
How could Gu Chengyu panic?
"Senior brother, you still don't trust me as a person? Although I have accomplished these two things, I have no contact with other forces. Even the local forces in Hejian Prefecture, I don't dare to ask for help. Who knows where those people are?
of?"
Gu Chengyu smiled. He had already considered it. If he could finish it by himself, why should he find someone to hold him back?
"Of course I can rest assured of your ability. I suffered a loss last time and you advised me to think twice. The Emperor is very clear-minded! We'd better do our part well, otherwise the Emperor won't spare us."
Yin Kun's warning was not only to Gu Chengyu, but also to himself.
"Next, as long as we pay close attention to the emperor's movements, we will know who the emperor prefers to be the crown prince."
Gu Chengyu closed his eyes slightly and watched the tea leaves floating in the bowl.
These tea leaves were all scrambling to climb up, but they couldn't resist the tea's control over them.
"I think so, too. It's just that the emperor likes to make things up and down, so we may not be able to figure out the emperor's intentions!"
Yin Kun sighed. He had been an official for so many years, but he still couldn't figure out the emperor's true thoughts.
"His thoughts will be revealed one day, so why should we act too hastily? Besides, we shouldn't be the most anxious now, it should be the princes."
He and Yin Kun are both pure ministers, so what is there to worry about?
The worst result is that they wait until the crown prince is established before they get close to him.
Even if the prince has no affection for them, Yin Kun holds a high position and is considered smart and capable. Can he really abandon them? This is not a mistake, right?
"Yesterday, your second and third senior brothers came to see me and asked about the details of your trip to Hejian Mansion, but I didn't disclose it. Your third senior brother is a bit impatient, so you should be more careful."
Suddenly, Yin Kun mentioned Wu An and He Jisheng. In his words, he seemed a little dissatisfied with He Jisheng.
However, Yin Kun thought about it and decided not to speak too bluntly, lest he alienate the friendship between his fellow apprentices.
"Oh? But you asked about the treasure map and the ink-corruption case?" Gu Chengyu was not surprised. Wu An was not very capable, but he was a conservative. He didn't talk much, but he was practical.
But He Jisheng was different. He was a little greedy for success and had already joined the team. He might have ulterior motives for asking about his affairs like this.
"Well! You have made a great contribution this time, has the emperor said how to reward you?" Yin Kun did not continue to talk about He Jisheng. He smiled and teased Gu Chengyu.
"I still don't know. It is the duty of a minister to help the emperor solve his problems. How can I take Qiao? However, the emperor did mention it and wanted to transfer me to Dali Temple." 13
