Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 378 Under the Fame
Counting back and forth, Gao Wu was delayed in Weihui's mansion for four days.

When his mother, Mrs. Zhang, arrived at Weihui's mansion, Gao Wushi had packed all her luggage, and the mother and son could not talk for more than two sticks of incense alone. Gao Wushi bid farewell to his mother and led the team to go north to Anyang.

Originally, he thought that after seeing Guo Pu, Mr. Dongye might delay for a while, or even change his mind temporarily and refuse to return to Beijing.Unexpectedly, the fact is completely opposite. When Gao Wushi arrived in Anyang, Guo Pu had already packed his bags, and when he saw Gao Wushi, he said to him: "I have read your exam paper, and it is well written. ...I know you are in a hurry to return to Beijing, and Wei Hui was delayed, and I don't have much to bring, so let's go."

Later on the road, Gao Wushi asked him about it, and found out that although Li Yuantai, the governor of Henan Province, was Xu Jie's student, Xu Jie was actually his teacher. one of the teachers.

In this way, in fact Li Yuantai is not so much Xu Jie's student as Guo Pu's student.It's just that Li Yuantai was on the gold list in the 32nd year of Jiajing. At that time, Xu Jie was already an important minister of the court, but Guo Pu was still in a low position, so not many people know the relationship clearly.

Seeing that Gao Yushi was not interested, Guo Pu knew what he was thinking, and said indifferently: "Do you think I will ask him to intercede for your Daoist test?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and replied: "That's not true, but the teacher can see my exam paper so soon, presumably Grandmaster Li should at least know that I visited the teacher when I went south to Xinzheng. It's accommodating."

Guo Pu glanced at him with great interest and said, "Aren't you confident in your article?"

"Yes." After Gao Wushi finished speaking, he sighed: "Otherwise, the student would not have this expression now, but a sad face, for fear of being criticized by others, saying that I cheated in the examination room and ruined the family style."

"Hehe..." Guo Pu shook his head and smiled, and said, "No matter who you show your Daoist essays to, this talented person will never miss you. Why do you want to think so much about other things? Meng Yan is a gentleman. The second is to look up to the sky, and not to be ashamed of others', you are recruited by your ability, so why worry about it."

Gao Wushi smiled, remained silent, and thought secretly: I have been able to test the case first, and I have worshiped Guo Pu, Li Zongshi's master in the past, as my teacher. Although the article can stand up to anyone's criticism, in case someone If people with ulterior motives insist on making troubles, I'm afraid it will be more or less troublesome.

Guo Pu suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Practically speaking, since I promised Suqing to accept you as a disciple, I will treat you as a nephew. There are some things I didn't have to say before, but now I have to say them."

Gao Wushi was slightly taken aback, and hastily bowed slightly obediently, and said, "Teacher, please give me some pointers."

Guo Pu was also not polite, and said bluntly: "You have a genius, you are not an ordinary thing, but there is one thing, which is very good at first glance, but it may be inappropriate when you think about it."

Gao Wushi said again: "Teacher, please advise."

Guo Pu said: "You have calculated too much."

Gao Wushi was taken aback, not knowing how to speak for a while.

Guo Pu sighed quietly, and said: "When you first came to Anyang, no matter your school or style of writing, you were all in favor of me. This is a calculation, right? When you came to Anyang again, you saw that I was fully equipped. But Zhong couldn't help showing surprise, this shows that you were worried that I would not go back to Beijing with you, maybe you have already thought about how to persuade me in advance, this is also a calculation, right?"

Gao Wushi opened his mouth, and swallowed the words again.

Seeing that he didn't defend himself, Guo Pu softened his complexion, but he didn't let go, and continued: "Not to mention such a big thing you did in Weihui Mansion... Don't think that no one in Weihui Mansion sees it." Your mind is so good, you just waved your hand and threw 30 taels of money, it is true that no matter how much anyone doubts your intentions, they will not be able to express their doubts in their hearts, but you must know that you cannot express it Yukou doesn’t mean they don’t understand.”

"In this matter, you not only plotted against the gentry and officials of Weihui Mansion, but also plotted against thousands of officials in the imperial court, and even the whole world - no matter who they are, they can only be forced to applaud you, Praise you! You said, this...is a calculation, right?"

Gao Wushi was a little embarrassed, but thinking that Guo Pu had said that he had "treated himself as a nephew" just now, he had no choice but to admit it with a nod, but he did not admit his mistake.

Guo Pu smiled and said: "You will definitely be an official in the future. Being able to calculate is not a bad thing in itself. I just remind you not to let yourself fall into calculations, because... First of all, it is up to people to make things happen. God, no matter how good the calculation is, there will be no guarantee that there will be no accidents. Only when you have no flaws is the right way; second, you are calculating others, and others are also calculating you. No one dares to say that you can always be just a weasel Instead of making a momentary miscalculation and becoming a praying mantis.”

Gao Wushi was startled this time, bowed his head slightly, and said, "The teacher learned the lesson well, and the student knows his mistake."

Guo Pu glanced at him, nodded, and then said quietly: "You are in a hurry to return to Beijing, probably because the tribute is about to be completed? Well, once the tribute is over, Li Shilu will be useless , Su Qing will be promoted to chief assistant soon, you should go back earlier, one is to avoid too much meritorious service, and the other is to watch some inner court for him as soon as possible..."

As he spoke, he frowned slightly, looked at Gao Yushi carefully, and asked abruptly, "Have Zhang Baigui and Su Qing fallen out?"

"Uh..." Gao Wushi was stunned when he asked back, but he found that Guo Pu's eyes were piercing at this time, and he didn't have the look of Zhongzheng and Yonghe before, but his face was serious. After thinking for a while, he replied: "Not yet, but in fact there have been signs before, just because... Well, now that Mr. Zhao has gone, Mr. Li will also leave his post. I am afraid that Mr. Taiyue will not stay under others for a long time."

"Sure enough." Guo Pu withdrew his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and returned to his previous indifferent appearance, twisting his beard and said: "Zhang Baigui is similar to you. He is rarely known as a child prodigy. Try it, Li Shiao, the prefect of Jingzhou, took a fancy to him and let him be a student of Bufu, no matter his age or grades, he is only slightly inferior to you today."

Gao Wushi was overjoyed at first, and thought to himself: Doesn't that mean I'm better than Zhang Juzheng?
But then I thought about it: fart, I am a human being in two lifetimes, so what is the comparison?

Guo Pu had been secretly observing Gao Yushi, seeing that he was overjoyed at first, then calmed down immediately, and even had a hint of reflection and shame. You are like this, so why not Zhang Baigui? However, it seems that you are a little bit better than him and know how to introspect yourself, but he is not. Even when I became an official, he still only learned the surface. Humility, in fact, in my heart, I have always been "the world is better than me", although Su Qing is the choice of name and appointment, I am afraid that Zhang Baigui will not accept it lightly."

　In recuperation, there is still a chapter.The most uncomfortable thing is that I also happened to write about this kind of fighting scene, which is really a headache.
