Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters Prince Taishi
Besides, Liang Zhirui has always felt guilty about Jin Yu. Doesn’t mentioning this at this time make everyone uncomfortable?
My old wife is so busy that she doesn't know how to open or lift any pot!
Although Liang Zhirui thought so, he felt that Jin Yu and his granddaughter were childhood sweethearts, but they just didn't meet often.
The affection between a boy and a girl is easy to cultivate. If the two of them have more contact in the future, they will naturally take each other into their hearts.
Gu Chengyu followed Liang Zhirui to the study room. As soon as he sat down, Liang Zhirui handed him a bowl of tea.
"What happened today? Why did you come back so late, but the emperor summoned you?" Liang Zhirui quickly asked the doubts in his heart.
"Nothing can be hidden from the teacher. It was the emperor who summoned me." Gu Chengyu smiled and relaxed a little.
Liang Zhirui felt relieved when he saw that Gu Chengyu still treated him the same as before.
He was also afraid that Jin Yu would have a grudge against him and the two of them would no longer be able to get along like before. Fortunately, this young disciple was open-minded and respected him even more.
"What happened?" Liang Zhirui was a little confused. He had also heard about what happened in the court.
As soon as the ceremony ended today, the eldest disciple came to Liang Mansion and analyzed with him what happened in the court today.
Liang Zhirui was also shocked when he learned that the third prince was audacious and intended to murder the prince.
But in the end, he was a little confused. Logically speaking, the prince had suffered such great grievances, so the emperor would have to say a few words of comfort.
The third prince must be severely punished and the prince must be given an explanation.
But he heard what the eldest disciple said, and the emperor still wanted to protect the prince? How is this possible?
Regardless of whether it is according to the law or human relations, the third prince deserves to be punished for his crime.
I don't see the emperor having much affection for the third prince in the past. He didn't value and favor him as much as he did the eldest prince.
If it weren't for the fact that the third prince's mother, Concubine Xian, was still favored, how could the emperor be so tolerant of the third prince?
The several wrong things the third prince had done before were enough to make the emperor extremely disappointed in him.
I didn't expect that the emperor would want to be open to one side this time. This is so abnormal. Is it as people often say, as people get older, their hearts become kinder and softer?
But if this person were the emperor, Liang Zhirui would never believe it.
"Teacher, the crown prince has just been established, and the emperor wants you to return to the court."
Gu Chengyu decided not to tell Liang Zhirui about his deal with the emperor. That’s right! Liang Zhirui’s official position was actually part of the deal.
At the same time, Liang Zhirui became the crown prince's grand master, which was one of the emperor's methods to contain him.
Because of his previous marriage, Liang Zhirui was already full of guilt towards him. If he informed this matter again, wouldn't Liang Zhirui feel extremely guilty?
In fact, the emperor saw his weakness, because he valued friendship, and this was his shortcoming.
With this shortcoming, the emperor could always find a way to control him. But it was precisely because of this shortcoming that the emperor dared to reuse him.
Let me ask you, if a person has no shortcomings, who would feel free to take advantage of him?
This sentence explains Gu Chengyu's situation well at this moment.
"What? The emperor wants me to return to the court? But"
Liang Zhirui was shocked. His first reaction after hearing this was not surprise, but what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd.
"Can you tell me what official position it is?"
Liang Zhirui never thought that this was a good thing. After all, he was the chief assistant of the first rank of the dynasty before he became an official, but now Xia Qing is still sitting in that position.
There is no other official position within the court except the position of chief assistant. Emperor Sangong and Sangu did not have one, so what kind of official position can he get?
Could it be possible to ask Xia Qing to make room for him? That was absolutely impossible, so he couldn't imagine it at all.
The seats for the second- and third-rank officials in the imperial court are even more full, what are the rest?
If it was to give him alms and let him start from the third or fourth rank, or even the fourth or fifth rank, then he would rather die than surrender.
It's not that he thinks his rank is low, but because it's a humiliation and a scholar can be killed but not humiliated!
"Teacher, don't worry, this official position is suitable for you. You have high moral character and high respect. There is no way the emperor will let you start from scratch. Otherwise, I, student, will never agree."
Gu Chengyu understood Liang Zhirui's concerns, so he quickly explained.
"The prince has just been established. This official position is related to the prince. He is the prince's master! He is a first-class official." Gu Chengyu smiled, with a proud look on his face.
"What? Crown Prince and Grand Master?" Liang Zhirui was suddenly startled, how could it be possible?
"The prince has passed the weak crown, and this is the position of prince and grand master."
There is something special here. The prince was not appointed as a child, but had already passed the title of weak.
Once the temperament has been determined, education is out of the question, and the post of Grand Master becomes just a decoration.
"The emperor said that the prince has not been brought up by his side since he was a child, and there are still flaws in his character. You are of noble character and knowledgeable, so you are allowed to be the prince's master."
Seeing the surprise on Liang Zhirui's face, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh, it was the teacher who understood the emperor's character.
Moreover, when Liang Zhirui unexpectedly heard that the emperor wanted him to become an official again, he was not dazzled by joy, but immediately thought about the emperor's intention.
Gu Chengyu felt that Liang Zhirui deserved to be his teacher and the chief assistant at that time.
"How is it? The Emperor still thinks of you in his heart. You are worthy of being my teacher. I didn't expect that my disciple would end up taking advantage of you."
Gu Chengyu deliberately looked like he was taking advantage, which made Liang Zhirui feel a little better.
"How can you trust the emperor's words?" Liang Zhirui shook his head. The emperor would suddenly think of him, it must be because of this young disciple.
Then, the smile on Liang Zhirui's face suddenly disappeared.
With the emperor being such a heartless person, how could he still remember his former chief assistant?
"No! Did you agree to the emperor's request? Otherwise, the emperor would be so kind? As a senior, I have not been involved in court matters for a long time. Even the current situation in the court is heard from you and your senior brother.
Come to think of it, how could the Emperor still think of me? Even if the Crown Prince and Grand Master are serving in vain, there are still some highly respected elders in the court."
Liang Zhirui glanced around Gu Chengyu with suspicious eyes, and then said: "Besides, it is not uncommon for officials who are still serving in the court to concurrently serve as the Prince's Third Division. Are you hiding something from me?"
Gu Chengyu once again lamented how well Liang Zhirui knew the emperor. He touched his nose, changed his mind, and then said: "Teacher, you thought too much. When you became an official, the emperor agreed on impulse. Now that you have come to the capital, the emperor
Out of consideration for old friendship, I asked you to assist the prince."
"Besides this piece of good news, I have another piece of news here, student! Your Majesty has asked me to concurrently serve as the Prime Minister of Zhan Shifu. I happen to be the Assistant Minister of the East Palace with you. Please take care of me in the future, Master Taishi."
