Chapter 154 Promise

Gu Yankai then told what he heard from the examiner,

Gu Tingye once complained about Yang Wuduan, whom Zhao Zhen disliked, and it reached Zhao Zhen's ears.

Although Zhao Zhen is kind and generous, Yang Wuduan is one of Zhao Zhen's enemies.

In anger, he kicked Gu Tingye off the list!

Gu Tingye was also asked to take the imperial examination after the age of fifty, just like Yang Wuduan.

In fact, it blocked Gu Tingye's path to civil service!

Xu Wenhui has watched the TV series and knows this to some extent.

I also know that this matter was deliberately brought out by Gu Yankai’s sick eldest son, Gu Tingyu, in order to prevent Gu Tingye from having a future.

But he didn't understand why Gu Yankai came to him.

He is self-aware. Although he is powerful locally and is protected by the generals of the Xu family,

But in the upper echelon, he is no better than Gu Yankai.

There was something Gu Yankai couldn't do, so why did he have to come to him?

Putting aside these doubts, Xu Wenhui pretended to be surprised and regretful and said:

"So that's how it is. I would say that Zhonghuai's literary talents shouldn't be on the list! It's really a pity!"

"It's not as if he's not good at writing articles. I don't have to worry about it anymore!" Gu Yan complained, and then said a little embarrassedly:

"My dear nephew, I have no choice now. Aren't you also on good terms with my Erlang? You can't just watch him be so decadent, right?

See if you can go to the palace with me to beg the officials...

I am a bit lonely here, and if there are many people, it will seem like forcing me to go to the palace. Just the two of us can go, my dear nephew, let me see if it is convenient for you..."

"Poor parents in the world..." Seeing the somewhat uneasy look on the face of the Marquis Gu Yankai, Xu Wenhui couldn't help but sigh,

This Gu Yankai is actually a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, but he can't express it well. Coupled with the instigation of Xiao Qin, Gu Tingyu, and the four and five rooms of the Gu family,

That's why I had such a quarrel with Gu Tingye. In fact, I really care about this son.

Moreover, Xu Wenhui also thought that this matter was easy to handle. He did not think that Zhao Zhen would hold on to Gu Tingye so long.

According to Xu Wenhui's estimation, Zhao Zhen may have long seen that there is no great future for taking the imperial examination among the nobles.

Even the Duke of Yue, Li Hackin, was severely ostracized by the civil servants, not to mention the reckless Gu Tingye.

The imperial examination was not that important to Gu Tingye, and maybe he was in a bad mood so he just passed it!

So Xu Wenhui sighed and agreed happily,

"Shibo has spoken, how dare Wen Hui disobey! Shibo, tell me when to go to the official! Wenhui will definitely accompany you!"

This is also a return of the favor from last time!

Gu Yankai was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Thank you so much, uncle, I can't thank you enough!"

"Hey, Shibo, please don't say that. Our two families have been friends for many years, so it doesn't matter. What's more, Zhonghuai and I are still good friends. Wenhui and I have no shirk!" Xu Wenhui asked:

"Shibo, have you told Zhong Huai about this? Does he know about being dismissed from the official family?"

"Why didn't you say it? I got angry when I said this. I gave him a severe lesson during the day.

This beast has no authority at all, and that's why he talks nonsense all day long! "

As he spoke, Gu Yankai sighed heavily as he thought about Gu Tingye's accusation against his eldest son Gu Tingyu at home today!

Compared with Gu Tingye being deprived of Jinshi status by Zhao Zhen, the discord among his heirs made Gu Yankai even more uncomfortable.

But his eldest son Gu Tingyu's body was like paper, and he didn't dare to say anything or scold him.

He didn't even dare to accuse him, for fear that his son would die. I'm sorry for the dead Mrs. Qin!

Soon Gu Yankai shook his head and stopped thinking about these things, cheered up and continued:

"My dear nephew, let's make an agreement like this. There will be a morning meeting tomorrow. After the morning meeting, we can go to meet the officials together. What do you think?"

Xu Wenhui naturally agreed:

"But according to Shibo's orders!" ...

On the second day,

While waiting in the morning,

Civility and martial arts are not in one place,

Therefore, Sheng Hong did not take the opportunity to communicate with Xu Wenhui.

So after going to court,

Sheng Hong kept secretly winking at Xu Wenhui.

I want to find out how things went, and whether the token has been returned to King Yan!

Xu Wenhui deliberately ignored him and pretended not to see Sheng Hong's eyes.

In fact, he made the arrangements last night, and now I'm afraid the servant has sent the token to Prince Yan's Mansion!

But Sheng Hong didn't know. He ignored Xu Wenhui's reasoning and didn't respond.

I thought Xu Wenhui was going to break his promise, but I was so anxious that I was scratching my head!

Emperor Zhao Zhen was sitting on the throne and being urged by several officials to establish an heir. He felt uncomfortable and a little irritated.

I happened to see Sheng Hong's actions. Anyway, someone in Sheng Hong's family seemed to have surrendered to King Yan.

Zhao Zhen was not happy either, so he directly named him:

"Sheng Hong from the Chancellor's Desk, I see that you are in a hurry, so I think you must have something to say.

Come on, come on, tell me, is it better to establish King Yong now, or to establish King Yan? "

Sheng Hong's face immediately turned pale when he heard this. Apparently he didn't expect to be called out by Zhao Zhen suddenly.

But since Zhao Zhen had called his name, he had to agree.

He quickly walked to the center, held up the wat board and saluted:

"Your Majesty, I am stupid and have no conclusion on this matter!"

With so many colleagues watching, how could Sheng Hong dare to express his opinion?

Not to mention which vassal king you support, even if you say that you should be a pure minister and only listen to the officials,

Sheng Hong didn't dare to say it.

Otherwise, he will be regarded as a treacherous villain. If he only flatters his superiors, he will be scolded to death by the spit of the civil servants!

The pure ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty can only be nobles and military generals. If civil servants dare to say anything about pure ministers in public, they will basically be squeezed out by the entire civil service force!

Zhao Zhen was obviously dissatisfied with Sheng Hong's response. He frowned and continued:

"How come there is no conclusion? All the adults in the court have conclusions. They either support King Yong or King Yan. Why are you the only one who has no conclusion?

Could it be that you think these two are unworthy of inheriting the throne? Um? "

In fact, those who clearly supported King Yan and King Yong were very small, but since the emperor Zhao Zhen said so,

Naturally, Sheng Hong did not dare to refute. After hearing what Zhao Zhen said about the two vassal kings, Sheng Hong was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud.

In shock, all the wat boards were scattered on the ground, and Sheng Hong did not dare to pick them up. He explained shakily:

"Chen Chenchen... I didn't mean that... it's just... it's just..."

Sheng Hong was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say, so he had no choice but to look at where Xu Wenhui was standing and look for help!

Xu Wenhui couldn't pretend not to see it now. After all, many people knew that Sheng Hong was his future father-in-law.

It would be unjustifiable if we didn’t help!

So he coughed lightly, walked to the center with the wat board in hand, saluted Zhao Zhen at the head and said:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

 Just one chapter today, resume tomorrow!
