Chapter 409: I'll leave Guizhi in your care It was
almost noon.
The discussion in the Yangxin Palace was over.
After Wei Zhao left the palace, he got on the carriage of the Duke of Shun's Mansion without exchanging pleasantries with anyone. Rong Di drove the horse in front and prepared to leave.
Gu Fuju was always watching this side, and just as he finished talking to the fifth prince, he walked over. Although he was a civil servant, he had been in the officialdom for many years and had a strong aura.
His hands were behind his back, blocking the way.
Rong Di subconsciously whispered a few words to the carriage and heard the general's order inside.
"Please ask the Grand Tutor to come up."
Rong Di jumped down quickly, lifted the curtain and invited Gu Fuju in.
As he lowered the curtain, covering the figure inside, the wheels of the Duke of Shun's Mansion rolled slowly forward.
"That's the right way!"
They are clearly father-in-law and son-in-law, not enemies, so why should they be so unfamiliar.
The Loyal and Brave Marquis smiled and stood there, then walked up to Yang Changzheng.
"You are in the limelight now. You were promoted by the emperor a few years ago."
The loyal and brave marquis seemed to have a good relationship with him and helped to straighten his clothes.
"Although you were born in a noble family, you are a bastard. The Yang family was just a small family in Shangjing before. The foundation is not stable like mine."
"I won't mention Guizhi. Gu Fuju was born in a poor family. He is not as good as you and me, but he is far better than you and me. He looks good at ordinary times, but he is not a clay man. When he is cold, even the emperor has to give him face. How many people like him are there in the world?"
"You are so good, you offend him?"
Isn't it digging your
own grave! The loyal and brave marquis had privately handed over the power and military power to his son. These days, Xiao Huaiyan went out early and came back late. It goes without saying what he was busy with.
The execution of the Zhou family was just an appetizer.
If the Wei and Gu families join forces, they will go straight to the palace. The Ying family has been in charge of the country for so many years, and it is time to change its face.
The loyal and brave marquis wanted to rub salt into Yang Changzheng's wound.
"It is said that you should marry a virtuous wife..."
He paused.
The provocation was meaningful.
Yang Changzheng's face was livid.
In the past, he always thought that his first wife was smart!
Although she was a little snobbish, she gave birth to children for him, took care of the harem for him, and was impeccable in dealing with people.
This time he was really confused! Unexpectedly,
the loyal and brave marquis turned his head.
"The fourth prince."
He walked over and patted Ying Cheng's shoulder.
Ying Cheng was the prince that he liked the most among these princes.
Although the loyal and brave marquis was a military general and a reckless person, he knew that Ying Cheng had been disliked by the emperor since he was a child, but he could survive in the cannibalistic imperial city until now, which showed that he also had the ability to survive in the cracks.
But Ying Cheng didn't think much. He didn't fight for anything. He was not pretending . He really kept his duty. But even so, he was the most sober one. He knew that he couldn't compete with Ying Yin or Ying Zhi. But the emperor now wanted him to compete. Did Emperor Ying Qian really want to promote him to be the emperor? No. Ying Cheng knew clearly that he was just a stepping stone that could be abandoned at any time. Once the dispute started, no matter who sat on that position, his life would not be easy. So he had been pretending to be stupid and frightened these days. The loyal and brave marquis said with a double meaning: "It is good that the emperor has granted the marriage, but this girl from the Yang family... When she enters the family, you must take good care of her and don't let her ruin things." I don't know who the four words "marry a virtuous wife" were addressed to. But it was extremely insulting. After saying that, he patted his butt and left. The two people were left looking at each other. Yang Chang was about to say something, but Ying Cheng could not avoid it and slipped away in a hurry. Seeing this, Yang Changzheng's face twisted for a moment. This piece of mud can't be helped! If it was the second prince, he would have been scheming long ago! Here, the father-in-law and son-in-law are not as harmonious as the loyal and brave marquis thought, and the carriage is very silent.
Wei Zhao did not pay attention to Gu Fuju.
Gu Fuju closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
There was no conversation along the way.
Until the carriage stopped in front of the Taifu Mansion.
Gu Fuju had no intention of getting off the car: "The emperors of all dynasties have deep thoughts. Those who follow them will prosper, and those who go against them will perish. You are in the palace today..."
He paused.
"Do you know what you are doing?"
Wei Zhao was not surprised that Gu Fuju would ask this. After all, this was the real purpose of Gu Fuju getting on the carriage.
He raised his eyes to look at Gu Fuju, whose casual clothes could not hide his dignity, and his eyes were full of ambition. He chuckled: "The student knows."
Gu Fuju was silent for a while.
He looked at this most proud student.
I still remember that when he established Huaqing Academy, he would also take time to teach in the Imperial Academy.
The students of the Imperial Academy are divided into students who are the children of officials, and tribute students who pass the provincial and imperial examinations. Those who
have just entered the school learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and have a basic understanding of policy essays and poems. Those who are about to participate in the imperial examinations focus on test-taking skills and current policy theories.
Regardless of age, they were assigned to study in different halls based on annual assessments.
Those taught by Gu Fuju were naturally those who would take the imperial examinations. Among the students in the hall that year, Wei Zhao was the youngest.
He was just a teenager.
Duke Shun led Wei Zhao to him.
The man who had been gentle all his life said to him.
——"Fuju, I'll leave Guizhi to you."
——"This child is good in everything, but he is too unreserved. Please bear with him."
Gu Fuju:? ?
When he heard this, he wanted to laugh. He
was not a baby who learned the Hundred Family Names at the age of five, so why did he let his father send him here?
Wei Fengxing doted on his son too much.
And...
he was really unreserved.
After leaving the hall, he was reading a book, and felt that the students around him were too noisy, laughing and playing, and then came to the compartment where he was resting.
He knocked on the door respectfully.
——"Master, can I come in?"
Gu Fuju, who was preparing to take a nap, thought he had something to ask.
But after Wei Zhao came in, he looked around. He continued to respectfully point to the empty chair opposite Gu Fuju and asked, "Can I sit down?"
After he sat down, he sat very straight, with a faint smile on his face, and opened the book.
——"Master, please go to sleep. I won't bother you."
Gu Fuju understood.
The students of the Imperial College avoided him, so his place was the quietest.
When it was almost time for class, Gu Fuju took a sip of tea: "Are you not leaving yet?"
Wei Zhao also respected him at that time.
He put down the book in his hand, stood up and replied.
——"When I was young, I entered the Imperial College because my father was busy with official duties and had no time to teach me personally. Now that my father is free, he often tests and teaches students."
Free, it was nothing more than that after Emperor Ying Qian ascended the throne, he did not want Duke Shun to interfere in important state affairs, and purposefully took back the things in his hands on the grounds that Wei Fengxing was too busy in the early years.
——"Now it is Master Liu who teaches, and the students have mastered the content, so there is no need to worry about it."
This is arrogant.
Although Shun Guogong is really rare in terms of talent and learning, even Gu Fuju can benefit from discussing with him every time.
Although Wei Zhao is really smart, he can learn everything quickly.
Gu Fuju looked at him and said, "Then why did you come to the Imperial College?"
—— "I came for you
, Master." —— "Whatever my father knows, I must know. What you know, Master, I must know too. Why wouldn't I be happy to combine the talents of the two of you?"
Gu Fuju also knew.
Wei Fengxing didn't come here specifically to send Wei Zhao, but to let him take on more responsibilities.
