"Your Majesty, this Lord Gu was the famous champion of the year, and the style of the cross-horse parade back then was famous in the capital! His literary brilliance and strategy are obvious to all, and he teaches the second prince, aren't you still at ease? Deng Wenshang also stepped forward and agreed.

Deng Wenshang and Xu Tianxin glanced at each other, this was something they had discussed before. Since the emperor values Gu Chengyu so much, and Gu Chengyu is also very talented, if the second prince can be assisted by Gu Chengyu, then the chances of reaching the top will be greater.

As for whether Gu Chengyu will steal the limelight from them, this is a matter for the future, and what needs to be solved now is how to make the second prince the crown prince.

"Gu Aiqing, what do you say?" The emperor set his eyes on Gu Chengyu, he wanted to see what Gu Chengyu thought.

"Your Majesty, in terms of qualifications, Weichen is far worse than the ministers in this palace. Wechen is still young, and this is the heavy responsibility of teaching the prince, and Wechen can't afford it. Those who can teach the prince must be old and virtuous. Weichen thinks that he is not up to the task, so please choose another master! ”

Gu Chengyu is reluctant to go back to the water, once he becomes the mentor of the second prince, then he will be tied to the second prince. The second prince is still young now, who knows what kind of character it is? He had never met the second prince before, but he was not interested in teaching a young child.

Didn't these people always talk about his lack of qualifications before? said that he has only been in the DPRK for more than two years, and he has been promoted continuously, so what should those officials who have worked hard to get seniority? Now he returned the words as they were, and they had said them anyway.

The emperor was not surprised by Gu Chengyu's refusal, "Gu Aiqing is reasonable, he is still young, let him teach the prince, I'm afraid it will be too much." To become the prince's teacher, he must be a highly respected person, and Gu Aiqing is afraid that he will not be able to do it. ”

"Your Majesty! This is Lord Gu's modesty, isn't it? I heard that the nephews in his house were all taught by him personally, and this teaching the prince should be considered to have some experience. Don't underestimate Lord Gu, although Lord Gu is young, he has a lot of experience in this area! ”

Xu Tianxin smiled, Gu Chengyu is a big generation in the Gu clan, but although he is young, his temperament is extremely stable, and he has the demeanor of an elder, isn't that nephew who came to the capital to join him exactly what he taught?

Gu Chengyu secretly rolled his eyes, these people can't understand people's words?

"Your Majesty! Since Lord Gu was unwilling, then Weichen felt that Lord Gu's mentor, Lord Liang, was a suitable candidate. Deng Wenshang was on the list, they expected that Gu Chengyu would resign, but as long as they had a relationship with Gu Chengyu, it was also a good choice to choose Gu Chengyu's mentor.

As for the emperor wanting to leave Liang Zhirui to the eldest prince, it has nothing to do with them. Anyway, the emperor didn't say anything, they pretended not to know.

The emperor patted the armrest, "I said that this matter will be discussed later, and you all take my words as a deaf ear?" ”

The emperor's sudden anger stunned everyone in the hall, and they were all silent, not daring to argue anymore.

"Retreat!" The emperor stood up, and did not ask everyone if there was still a performance, and directly announced his retreat from the dynasty, leaving everyone speechless.

"Gu Aiqing, follow me to the imperial study to discuss matters!" Before leaving, the emperor gave an order to Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu hurriedly followed.

"Senior brother greets the teacher on my behalf, I may not be able to go today, wait until tomorrow!" Gu Chengyu walked to Yin Kun's side and explained.

Everyone looked at the backs of the emperor and Gu Chengyu, and was silent for a long time.

"Lord Yin, your junior brother is really amazing! Such an amazing and brilliant person, you must be honored to be a senior brother! ”

"Where? Don't kill him, he's still young, don't change your temperament! Yin Kun was modest on his lips, but he had a proud smile on his face, but this smile was especially dazzling in the eyes of these people.

"Hey~ How can this be called killing? Let's be realistic! How fortunate is it for your teacher to receive such a disciple? Dai Yuanji, the secretary of the military department, said meaningfully.

"Let's go! This is all scattered, and the emperor didn't appoint us, so what are you doing here? ”

Yin Kun watched all the ministers leave the hall one after another, and he hurriedly followed. Dai Yuanji's words just now were suspected of provoking, did he want to make him jealous of his little junior brother?

Gu Chengyu quietly looked at the little boy sitting under the porch, the child sat motionless, as if he had been sitting for a long time. Gu Chengyu frowned, today's sun is still warm, but there is always a cold wind in winter, so he doesn't care about his body, is this trying to give up on himself?

He stepped forward gently, and the chamberlain beside the eldest prince was about to salute when he saw Gu Chengyu in official uniform, but Pang Chu behind Gu Chengyu waved his hand to signal him to retreat.

Several of the chamberlains hesitated, then quietly retreated.

When the distance was close, Gu Chengyu saw the child's eyes clearly. A pair of big apricot eyes were hollow and blank, lined with a little red face blown by the wind, which couldn't help but make people feel a little distressed.

Gu Chengyu walked to the bottom of the corridor, looked at the plum branch that stretched out, and gently broke a branch.

He handed the plum branch to the eldest prince, "Has Your Highness smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms?" ”

The eldest prince was immersed in his own thoughts, when he suddenly heard a pleasant young voice coming, and he glanced over his head a little strangely.

Smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms on the tip of his nose, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, inhaling the cold air and the crisp fragrance of plum blossoms into his five internal organs, and suddenly felt sublimated, this fragrance was very intoxicating.

"Your Highness guesses whether this is a red plum or a white plum?" Gu Chengyu took off the cloak on his body and draped it on the eldest prince.

The eldest prince suddenly felt a warmth coming, and he couldn't help but wrap the cloak on his body tightly, and then replied: "Is it Hongmei?" ”

Pang Chu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, just now the eldest prince lost his temper and refused to wear a cloak, and sat under this corridor willfully, but these palace maids and chamberlains were in a hurry.

didn't hear Gu Chengyu's answer, the eldest prince was a little unhappy, he pulled the plum branch and threw it to the ground, is this bullying him not to see?

"It's a red plum!" Gu Chengyu didn't care about his behavior, only smiled and replied.

"I've been here before, so of course I know that red plums are planted here!" The eldest prince suppressed the anger in his heart and looked arrogant.

"This is Ci'an Palace, it is not suitable to plant white plums, even if you don't look at it, you can guess!" Gu Chengyu sat down next to the eldest prince, smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms, and suddenly felt that he hadn't been so idle for a long time.

The eldest prince was a little angry, isn't this just sarcastic about his inability to see?

"Actually, there are some things that you don't need to see with your eyes, sometimes you just need to infer them. And what you can see with your eyes is not necessarily real. ”

Gu Chengyu's words made the eldest prince stunned, but then his face turned gloomy. But he had become accustomed to hiding his thoughts these days, so he kept silent.
