Mr. Gu was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, the first one, with a serious look on his face.
Gu Qianzhou, Gu Jinnian's father, sat first on the left, with no trace of gentleness on his face.
The third one is Gu Ningfan, a general of the Xuanwu Army and the third son of the Gu family.
The fourth person is Gu Leng, the left minister of the Daxia Criminal Department and the fifth son of the Gu family, sitting second from the left.
The four people remained silent, making the lobby seem extremely depressing.
It is no exaggeration to say that any one of these four people is the most powerful existence in Daxia.
The Duke of the State, the Marquis, the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the General of the Xuanwu Army have terrifying power.
"Dad, the Minister of Rites has agreed to give Nian'er a place in Daxia Academy. I hope this matter will end here."
It was Gu Qianzhou's voice.
The voice fell, and before Mr. Gu could answer, Gu Leng's voice sounded first.
"That's it?"
"It's ridiculous. Nian'er has suffered so much, so let's just forget about it?"
"The seats in Daxia Academy are certainly precious, but to put it in perspective, our Gu family is not good at studying. In the eyes of outsiders, the direct admission seats are precious, but in the eyes of my Gu family, what does it mean?"
"Brother, it's not what my fifth brother said about you. Nian'er has suffered such a big loss, but you are indifferent. If it's because of your identity, I'll be the worst offender."
Gu Leng's voice sounded, seeming a little dissatisfied.
The third generation of the Gu family, the only child, almost drowned. This is no joke.
What does a quota for direct admission to Daxia Academy mean?
Just saying this, Gu Qianzhou couldn't help but frown slightly.
He knew that everyone in the Gu family doted on his son, and he also knew that his fifth brother was helping Gu Jinnian, but there were many things he couldn't explain.
His son almost died, isn't he angry?
"Lao Wu, the matter itself was caused by Jinnian's misbehavior. Logically speaking, we cannot stand. Moreover, we are facing this group of Confucian officials, which is not easy to deal with."
"Furthermore, Jinnian is not in serious trouble. If you need to retreat, just retreat. If Jinnian is really in any serious trouble, you don't need to say this. I am his biological father, how can I give up?"
"Also, although Jinnian is naughty, he is also smart. Master Xu also said that if Jinnian can focus on studying instead of playing, he can also become a scholar."
"There are dozens of great Confucian scholars in Daxia Academy. If you study hard in Jinnian, maybe a Qilin will be born in my Gu family?"
Gu Qianzhou spoke out, a little unhappy. After all, Gu Leng said that it seemed that he didn't care about his son.
Of course, the most angry reason was what Gu Leng said just now.
Why do you think your son can't study well?
"What kind of Daxia Academy is there?"
"Didn't you hear what Jinnian said just now?"
"Jin Nian didn't say anything rude at all. It was Yang Kai's daughter who framed her and confuse right and wrong."
"If we send Jinnian to Daxia Academy again, wouldn't it be harmful to Jinnian?"
"Dad, this was what Jin Nian said after he woke up. I'd like to say that although Jin Nian is naughty, he's not that bad. This Yang Kai allows his daughter to talk nonsense. Damn it.
Offal, sanctimonious."
Gu Ningfan's voice rang out, and he was so angry that he cursed loudly and also told the matter.
"okay."
Just when the two were about to have a quarrel, Mr. Gu spoke.
Stop the three people from continuing to quarrel.
In the lobby.
Mr. Gu was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, looking very old. The aura between his brows was like a mountain, which made the three of them dare not say anything.
"What happened in Jinnian, no matter who is right or wrong, has no meaning now."
"When a crowd makes a fortune, three people become a tiger, and the whole capital is talking about the golden year."
"I believe what Jinnian said, but it's too late, and there is no witness and no physical evidence, so I can't argue with you."
"The Gu family has given up on this loss."
"But Nian'er is seriously ill. It's impossible to settle this grudge just by getting a direct admission to Daxia Academy."
"It's just that the court is in a lot of chaos right now. Every move of the Gu family is being watched by others. I can't take it seriously, so I can only endure it for a while."
"Furthermore, the quota for Daxia Academy this time is indeed important and of great significance."
Mr. Gu opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.
Then, he glanced at the three of them and continued to speak.
"However, I always feel that Nian'er's drowning is not as simple as it seems on the surface."
"I don't care about a little bit of criticism, and the Gu family is not afraid of it, but if it's against Jinnian, it's not a trivial matter. I don't expect Jinnian to have a particularly good reputation, as long as he grows up healthy."
"Boss, Third, and Fifth, please investigate carefully in secret, especially Boss. Jinnian is your son. Now the rumors outside are getting more and more intense. Things are not that simple. You should investigate in secret."
"If it is true that I am young and ignorant, it is not what I thought. The Gu family is not unreasonable. They will suffer this loss and wait until His Majesty decides on the national policy before taking action against these people."
"But if there are some things hidden in it that shouldn't be there, all the officials in Kyoto will have no hope of peace."
Mr. Gu spoke up.
After speaking, his tone seemed cold.
Regarding Gu Jinnian's drowning, in the eyes of outsiders, it was just a child playing, but in their eyes, it was definitely not that simple.
Need to investigate clearly.
"clear."
"I know, Dad."
"Dad, don't worry."
The three of them nodded.
"As long as you are aware of Jinnian's affairs."
"Boss, you should also be more careful about Jinnian's trip to the Daxia Academy. Although those Confucian officials are nothing, if they want to truly take root in the Daxia Dynasty, our Gu family really needs a scholar."
"Nian'er is indeed smart, but it's also our fault that we pampered him too much and allowed him to do whatever he wanted."
"Next, let him go to the academy and study hard. I don't expect him to become a unicorn. In the future, he can rely on his own ability and achieve success, which can be regarded as a glorious ancestor."
Having said this, Mr. Gu paused for a while, and then continued to add.
"It's okay to be a scholar. As long as I'm no worse than you, I'll be satisfied."
Mr. Gu said helplessly.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The Gu family's bloodline is martial arts, and the whole family has no interest in studying at all. If they are asked to go to war, each one will be more excited than the other.
Letting them study is more painful than cutting flesh.
If it weren't for Gu Yuan's extremely high status, the Gu family would not be able to hold such high positions.
But anyone who has entered the officialdom knows that as long as the country is stable, the power of scholars will be better than that of generals.
Conquering the country makes generals popular.
In a time of peace and prosperity, civil servants were popular.
If you want to truly form a noble family in a country, reading is paramount. This is also the reason why all things are inferior and only reading is high.
The Gu family has reached the third generation and must develop in the direction of studying.
Otherwise, all the generals will suffer big losses in the future.
"Okay, don't say any more unnecessary things."
"You should be more at ease during this period. People have probably already known about Lao Liu's return. I'm afraid that the censors have already started writing memorials to impeach Lao Liu."
"At this critical moment, both the Gu family and other aristocratic families must keep a low profile. Your Majesty has big plans, so nothing can go wrong."
"Otherwise, the layout we have built over the years will fall short."
Mr. Gu said extremely seriously.
As soon as these words were said, the three of them looked more serious. They knew what the old man meant by these words.
Nowadays, the entire Daxia Dynasty insists on saying something big.
There is only one.
Recover lost ground.
This matter is huge and involves the biggest struggle between civil and military forces. Naturally, everything is nothing.
"clear."
They both nodded.
Then nothing more was said.
As for the inside of the house.
Gu Jinnian had already let Uncle Liu go.
He didn't ask something too blatantly, and besides, his sixth uncle had just come back, so he didn't know what was normal.
However, Gu Jinnian also knew that there must be people in Kyoto paying attention to things like Baihong Guanri.
It’s just that no one thought that the thing had been taken by themselves.
In other words, someone knows about it, but because of his identity, he doesn't dare to do anything about it.
There is one more thing.
That's about drowning yourself.
After Uncle Six left, Gu Jinnian sat alone under the tree for a long time, thinking about many things.
On the one hand, it was about the ancient tree in my mind, and on the other hand, it was about drowning.
He always felt that something was strange, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why.
Gu Jinnian suspected that someone was trying to do something against him.
But if you think about it carefully, no one in Kyoto wants to kill him, right?
Coupled with the presence of ancient trees, it was a bit difficult for Gu Jinnian to judge.
"Forget it, don't think about these things for now, now that they're here, make peace with them."
Gu Jinnian said to himself.
Right now, there are still many things waiting for you to do.
Reading and studying are top priorities.
Since time travel, Gu Jinnian has been reading books, mainly historical books, and some anecdotal books.
Of course, Gu Jinnian also specially read Confucian and Taoist poetry and so on.
He is a liberal arts student who has studied poetry from previous lives and has abundant hard knowledge. Otherwise, he would not have become a well-known screenwriter.
But this world is not like the past and ancient times. Every poem has its own story.
It doesn’t mean that if you recite a poem, you will get a lot of applause.
Only when it responds to circumstances or events can it be considered a famous poem.
Otherwise, when you’re full and have nothing to do, would you like to write a poem? Wouldn’t it be awkward?
The best way is to read history well and adapt poems according to the situation.
Just like that, time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
