The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 902

The emperor looked at Gu Chengyu with raised eyebrows, then nodded imperceptibly.

After Gu Chengyu was sure, her heart was completely cold.

How could the emperor be so shameless?What does promotion have to do with marriage?Why let him choose one of the two?

Gu Chengyu couldn't help but smile wryly, because of what?It's not because Prince Jing is the emperor's son, but he is just a low-level official.

He is still a dispensable small official who can be replaced at any time.

Liang Zhirui looked at Gu Chengyu suspiciously, what does this have to do with the Hejian Mansion case?But then he realized that the emperor was threatening Jinyu?

As long as he agrees to marry sister Xian, will Jinyu lose the chance to be promoted this time?
Liang Zhirui took a deep look at the emperor, and spoke before Gu Chengyu.

"Your Majesty! Jinyu is just a."

But before Liang Zhirui could finish his sentence, Gu Chengyu interrupted, "Your Majesty! I have done my best for the matter of the Hejian Mansion, but I dare not take credit for it. As for the marriage, it should not have been allowed This junior, Weichen, makes his own decisions. He is a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of his life. Since the teacher has already discussed it with Weichen's parents, there is no room for Weichen to object."

Gu Chengyu's words already showed his attitude, but this made Liang Zhirui feel even more guilty.

He didn't expect to make the little disciple pay for it so soon. What he wanted to stop just now was Jinyu who insisted on saying it before him.

well!This made him how to face Jinyu in the future?

"Then your choice is to follow your teacher's arrangement?" The emperor asked in a deep voice.

"Actually, my opinion is not important. The final result depends on you. As for Prince Jing, although I don't want to offend you, since I have promised my teacher before, I can't break my promise. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot Both are perfect, whether the humble minister is loyal or filial, can only be decided by the emperor."

Liang Zhirui shuddered when he heard that, yes!This means that Jinyu can choose by himself, but in the end, don't you want to listen to the emperor?

If in the end Jinyu chooses Sister Xian, but the emperor is not happy, can Jinyu still try to snatch the marriage?

The emperor is really treacherous and cunning!Not only did it make Jinyu give up the chance of promotion that was at his fingertips, but it could also test Jinyu's character.

After all, the temptation to get promoted is there, who would be willing to give up for a woman?
The emperor sneered when he heard the words, "You really deserve to be the number one man hand-picked by me! You can say all the good things. Don't worry, I will do what I say. As long as you choose, I will not make things difficult for you .”

The rain that was still drifting finely just now has stopped now.Gu Chengyu looked at the white belly in the sky that had been pushed away by the clouds, and let out a foul breath in his heart.

"Jinyu! It's the teacher who is sorry for you" Liang Zhirui didn't know what he should say at this moment, he was the one who got Gu Chengyu down.

When Gu Chengyu worshiped under him back then, how did he ever think that he would rely on this youngest disciple in the future?

In fact, I haven't taught him for a few years, and the achievements I have today are all due to the little disciple's own hard work and talent.

Now that I have retired, how many contacts are there in the officialdom?I can't help my little disciple.

And in these years, he has enjoyed Jinyu's blessings, and the old couple eats all the good things, but on the contrary, he took advantage of the younger disciple.

Now, he is even coercing him as a teacher, wanting to betroth his granddaughter to the young disciple, and the young disciple also lost the opportunity to be promoted this time because of this.

"Teacher, don't think too much. I have to go back to work now, and I will go to the house to have a drink with you in the evening."

Gu Chengyu glanced around and saw Xiao Quanzi was a few steps away from them, smiling at him.

He smiled back, and then stopped it.There are a lot of people here, so it's better to say less.

"Hey~ good!" Liang Zhirui came back to his senses and responded.

"Let's go! I'll take you out of the palace."

In fact, Gu Chengyu is not feeling well at the moment, if he doesn't mind at all, how is that possible?

He has spent such a long time in Hejian Mansion this time, and he has spent all his time trying to hide the treasure map.He also took the risk of the ink corruption and bribery case in the Hejian Mansion.

Upgrading from the sixth rank to the fifth rank is a leap in rank.Now for this marriage, if it's gone, it's gone.

What is his promotion for?One is naturally for himself, and the other is to fulfill his mother's wish as soon as possible.

Because his mother used to be a girl, people look down on her. Although his mother didn't mention it, I can still see that his mother minded being someone else's servant.Don't look at his mother in Shangling Village, she is very prestigious in his Gu family!
But since coming to the capital, his mother is not even willing to go out.Isn't it just because of his low grade, his mother is afraid that people will look down on him, and she is even afraid that she will offend the nobleman and cause him trouble.

Reminiscent of the sarcasm of the eldest princess that day, what if he is already a member of the second or third rank?Will the eldest princess still embarrass the two of them like this?

After all, he is not a saint, and he cannot be honored or humiliated.But he would not blame his teacher, let alone vent his anger on Yao Mengxian.

Seeing the two walking away together, although Xiao Quanzi knew little about what happened in the imperial study.But judging from Gu Chengyu's expression, Mr. Gu must not be pleased today.

Although Gu Chengyu is still smiling, this smile is still somewhat different from the past.

"Your Majesty! The tea is cold, let's change a pot!"

Watching the emperor signal him to pour the tea, De'an quickly replaced the freshly made tea.

"De'an! You said that this Gu Chengyu is very affectionate. He even gave up his promotion for a woman."

The emperor smiled and shook his head, although Gu Chengyu snatched the candidate of King Jing away, but the emperor was not angry when he saw it.

"Your majesty, my lord is his benefactor. Since the benefactor opened his mouth, the disciple naturally cannot refuse. However, Mr. Gu has a heart. He treats his parents very well, as well as his teacher. With filial piety."

De'an changed the tea for the emperor again with a smile, and replied very casually.

"Yeah! It's the fourth brother's place, I don't know how to explain it!"

The emperor rubbed his forehead with a headache, facing Prince Jing, the emperor always felt powerless.

In fact, Gu Chengyu's performance today satisfied him. If Gu Chengyu really pushed back the marriage in order to get promoted, then the emperor would not dare to use Gu Chengyu anymore.

That's right, what happened just now was to test Gu Chengyu.

If Gu Chengyu is using all means to achieve his goals, and he is greedy for profit, and his relatives do not recognize him, then how could the emperor use Gu Chengyu at ease?
Who knows if Gu Chengyu will plot against him, the emperor, for the benefit of others in the future?
After all, he knows Gu Chengyu's ability. If he is cruel, selfish and cold, how can he handle it in the future?
