Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Newcomer is coming!
==Chapter 67==
That day, Gu Yushi went to the Prince's Mansion to block him, but a few days later, he saw that Xie Zhujing had changed his purse.
He was hard to miss.
Not to mention someone's deliberate showing off, his familiarity with women's craftsmanship was enough for him to notice the changes in Xie Zhujing at a glance.
For several days, Gu Yushi's aura was so low that people dared not approach him. It was not until Emperor Wen Yuan fell ill that the open and secret struggles between the two of them subsided.
Gu Yushi lowered his eyes, he knew that he would not stay in the Hanlin Academy for long.
On this day, he came out of the imperial study a quarter of an hour later than Xie Zhujing. Unexpectedly, after he came out, Xie Zhujing had not left yet. He was standing not far away, looking at him with an inquiring look.
Gu Yushi frowned, ignored him, and continued walking forward. Xie Zhujing, who was walking alongside him, suddenly brought up something:
"You know, the eldest princess went to the palace yesterday."
The eldest princess, the emperor's younger sister, is also Yan Yunhe's biological mother.
Gu Yushi suddenly turned around and looked at Xie Zhujing sternly: "Be quiet."
He is not alone now, so it would be fine if he wanted to die, but he should not drag others down.
Xie Zhujing raised his eyebrows and wanted to say something.
Gu Yushi walked faster and faster.
Xie Zhujing didn't catch up. He narrowed his eyes. Was it his illusion?
Gu Yushi seemed to know more than him, especially regarding Emperor Wenyuan's illness. Everyone was worried, but Gu Yushi...
Xie Zhujing always felt that Gu Yushi was just a little quieter than usual, as if - he had been mentally prepared.
Unfortunately, Gu Yushi's annoyance towards him was obvious to his eyes, and he couldn't get anything out of Gu Yushi.
After Gu Yushi shook off Xie Zhujing and walked a distance, he looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that the weather was about to change.
He suppressed his emotions and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly said coldly to the pillars not far away:
"Not coming out yet?"
There was a rustling sound, and someone came out from behind the corridor pillar. He was wearing a red robe with a green lining inside. The color of the outer robe overshadowed the lining, which was a bit old-fashioned, and it made him look more calm. His eyebrows seemed to have a nonchalant smile on their faces. He bowed to Gu Yushi:
"What a coincidence! I actually ran into Lord Gu."
skillful?
Seeing Gu Yushi's eyes becoming increasingly cold, the nonchalant smile on Yan Yunhe's face gradually faded. By the time he stood in front of Gu Yushi, that smile had completely disappeared.
Yan Yunhe's tone seemed to be complaining, but it was also a little cold. "You guys are openly talking about my mother. If I come out directly, wouldn't it embarrass Master Xie? Am I not considerate enough?"
Gu Yushi didn't want to care about him:
"That's enough."
Gu Yushi was very clear about one thing: the conflict between him and Xie Zhujing did not originate from party disputes or political differences.
If you really want to count, he must be involved with the Feng Party. In other words, whether in the past life or this life, his relationship with Xie Zhujing is destined to be closer than that with Yan Yunhe.
Therefore, even though Xie Zhujing knew that he was tired of him, he would still look for opportunities to get information from him.
They will only be in the same camp when necessary.
Gu Yushi had already realized this, but it did not prevent him from being annoyed with Xie Zhujing.
He took a step to leave, and Yan Yunhe was about to follow him when Gu Yushi took the time to glance at him and said coldly, "You should report to the Ministry of Justice."
Yesterday, the eldest princess came to the palace, not only to visit Emperor Wenyuan, but also to seek an official position for Yan Yunhe.
As the saying goes, it is easier to get things done if you have connections in the court. What's more, Yan Yunhe's connection is with the current emperor, so a document came down today, and Yan Yunhe was appointed to the Ministry of Justice.
The provincial and palace examinations were both skipped.
Is it unreasonable? As long as it suits His Majesty, that's all.
Yan Yunhe concealed the emotions in his eyes, but still followed him and said with a smile, "Don't worry."
Gu Yushi frowned. He didn't know what had stimulated Yan Yunhe to choose this time to serve as an official in the court. But when he thought about it carefully, now was the best time. Once Emperor Wenyuan fell, Yan Yunhe's identity would be far less valuable than it was now.
The most important thing is to make some achievements while Emperor Wenyuan is still here so that he can gain a firm foothold in the court.
and--
Gu Yushi asked pointedly, "Do you and I know each other well?"
If you look closely, there is a grudge between the two of them over a broken leg. Why would someone who has never said a word to him pretend to be kind?
The smile on Yan Yunhe's face disappeared. He really still hated Gu Yushi, but he couldn't pretend for long. He said:
“Not familiar.”
He lowered his head, fiddling with the pouch at his waist, and said in an inexplicable tone:
"But the enemy of my enemy should be my friend, right?"
Gu Yushi inexplicably understood what he said. He suddenly looked up at Yan Yunhe, as if he had never seen Yan Yunhe before. After a long moment, a sarcastic look escaped his lips: "I don't know where you got this conclusion from, but you and I are not friends."
Anyone who covets Feng Wenyu is destined to be an enemy.
Xie Zhujing is one, and Yan Yunhe is naturally one too. At this time, there are no so-called friends.
After saying this, Gu Yushi pushed Yan Yunhe away, but he did not go to the Hanlin Academy, but went to the Ministry of Personnel.
He was received by a minister from the Ministry of Personnel. Although the position of a scholar was not high, he was a close minister to the emperor. Gu Yushi was also deeply favored by the emperor. Therefore, when the minister personally met Gu Yushi, he also smiled warmly:
"But His Majesty has issued an order that requires you to go there in person."
Gu Yushi's eyes were cold, and he bowed to him, "Your Excellency is too polite. To be honest, I came here today to ask for something."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the invitation.
The Assistant Minister of Personnel had been in the Ministry of Personnel for a long time, and he knew what he meant when he saw his attitude. He was a little scared in his heart. What kind of position would make Gu Yushi come to ask for it in person?
As a result, after receiving the letter of invitation, the Minister of Personnel relaxed instantly. He was an eighth-rank official who was not even a small official. He smiled and said:
"You are too polite, Gu Shidu. As the saying goes, one should not avoid relatives when selecting talents. Gu Shidu has been working hard to select talents for the country. It is rare for you to ask. This month is the official selection period. I will ask someone to go with me. It will not be inconspicuous."
He looked at the person's origin and found that he was fine. He was not seeking an important position. Since it was a favor, why not do it?
Gu Yushi stood up to express his gratitude. He certainly knew that the best person to take over this matter was Feng Rongyu. Unfortunately, Feng Rongyu was not there, and it was indeed not worth looking for someone specifically for such a small matter. If Feng Rongyu took over, the Feng family would definitely find out the reason.
Of course, he didn't expect to hide it from Feng Rongyu.
Due to the emperor's illness, this palace examination was indeed not taken seriously. This time he was seeking an official position on behalf of a second-class Jinshi. This person had a close relationship with him in his previous life. He had been paying attention to this person since the moment he entered Beijing to take the exam.
What he wanted was an official position in Quzhou City.
Knowing the path ahead, how could he not prepare in advance? He also didn't like the situation where I was in the open and the enemy was in the dark.
Gu Yushi's eyes were dark, and he silently repeated Lu Minxing's name in his heart.
Regardless of whether Lu Minxing and Shen Jingchen had any problems, the fact that they had hunted down Feng Wenyu was enough to arouse Gu Yushi's suspicion and targeting.
A new round of Jinshi was announced, and the positions of Gu Yushi and others from the previous batch also changed one after another. Logically, he should have taken over Xie Zhujing's position as the Imperial Lecturer.
But the emperor obviously had other plans, so Gu Yushi could only wait quietly.
There are new people in the Hanlin Academy today.
Gu Yushi also met this year's top scholar today. He was wearing the uniform of a sixth-rank official. He had a handsome and elegant appearance and a tall figure. He looked like a noble scholar. To everyone, he was a stranger.
But Gu Yushi had met him once.
Coincidentally, the man also looked up. He was silent for a moment, then took a step forward and bowed slightly to Gu Yu.
"Greetings to Gu Shidu, your humble servant Pei Yan, from Shihong."
As soon as the two met, a subtle atmosphere suddenly emerged in the hall. Wu Ping'an, who was leading people to introduce the Hanlin Academy, also became quiet. He glanced at the people around him, wanting to know if there was any conflict between the two?
Xie Zhujing also narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the scene calmly.
He was indeed a perceptive person and realized something immediately. After all, apart from Feng Wenyu, other people or things rarely attracted Gu Yushi's attention or caused emotional fluctuations.
So, this new guy is related to Little Miss?
After a long while, Gu Yushi's eyes were unclear, and he said, "It turned out to be Master Pei."
Xie Zhujing, who was secretly observing from the side, raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't call him by his official title, but called him "Young Master". It seemed that they were indeed acquaintances.
But this Pei Xiuzhuan was not from the capital, nor was he from the same hometown as Gu Yushi. Xie Zhujing's mind flashed with information about Pei Yan, and he vaguely guessed the time when the two met.
He interrupted calmly, speaking calmly:
"It seems that Gu Shidu and our new number one scholar are acquainted with each other?"
Gu Yushi just turned cold and ignored him completely. Xie Zhujing didn't care either and kept his eyes on Pei Yan.
Pei Yan lowered his eyes. The aloof man in the past had become much more reserved now. He said:
"I met Gu Shidu once in Yangzhou City."
Xie Zhujing thought to himself, as expected.
Gu Yushi suddenly said, "I remember your mother has been transferred to Nanling?"
Jiangnan and Nanling are only one character apart, but their status is very different. Jiangnan is a prosperous place, and being a prefect in Jiangnan is a lucrative job, but after being transferred to Nanling, the hardships to be endured are much greater.
It is said to be a lateral transfer, but to some extent it is also a demotion.
Wu Ping'an finally understood. The Gao Dang case was investigated by the imperial envoy Gu Yushi, and the family of Prefect Pei was transferred because they were implicated in the case. So, how could these two have any conflicts?
There is a grudge between them!
In response to Gu Yushi's words, Pei Yan only said: "Gu Shidu has a good memory."
A sentence that was neither light nor heavy, nor unclear, made the atmosphere in the hall a little quieter.
Gu Yushi's gaze swept over him coldly. Wu Ping'an, fearing something might happen, hurriedly said, "Zhang Xiuzhuan, take care of him."
Zhang Zeling choked and muttered silently:
“…How did it happen to me?”
This person doesn't get along with Gu Yushi. What if Gu Yushi takes his anger out on him?
Zhang Zeling wanted to quit, but Wu Ping'an was his immediate superior, and he didn't have the courage or ability to do so.
After Pei Yan was taken away, Xie Zhujing took a step forward and probed openly:
"It's rare to see Gu Shidu pay so much attention to someone."
Gu Yushi was annoyed and glared at him coldly: "Secretary Xie, are you very curious today?"
Xie Zhujing did not deny it, but asked frankly:
"Would Gu Shidu be willing to help me solve this problem?"
Gu Yushi only threw two words at him: "Dream on!"
