Chapter 409: Mao Sui recommended himself
Of course, the emperor will not necessarily listen to him on what to do, but the emperor will decide for himself.
According to the situation in the court, even if the emperor wants to find more trusted officials, he is afraid that he is powerless, and he does not have to worry too much. To put it bluntly, Gu Chengyu not only wants to seek some benefits in front of the emperor, but also wants to protect his rights in the future.
"Oh?" The emperor glanced at Gu Chengyu with a smile, the emperor was already very shrewd, how could he not see Gu Chengyu's thoughts?
Gu Chengyu was shocked, he didn't dare to underestimate the emperor. But his purpose is not hidden, anyway, he wants to show his loyalty, and the emperor saw it just right.
"Weichen wants to recommend himself, and he just hopes to be able to solve problems for the emperor and make a modest contribution."
Gu Chengyu respectfully knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and waited for the emperor's reply.
Although the emperor didn't seem very happy, Gu Chengyu was not worried in his heart, and he showed his loyalty twice. If the emperor doesn't believe him, he says no matter how much he says, it's useless. However, the matter of secret folding was proposed by him, and the emperor agreed to him in order to stabilize him.
His grade is too low, if there is something, he can only wait for the emperor to summon him, but who knows when the emperor will summon him? There are too many Jingguan'er to count, and he doesn't think that the emperor will remember him all the time.
Therefore, what he asked for was the privilege of being able to go to the secret fold.
The emperor thought for a moment in his heart and agreed to Gu Chengyu's request. After all, Gu Chengyu is considered an insider, and in order to prevent him from leaking secrets, the emperor still has to satisfy his request. And Gu Chengyu is very active, and the benefits of promising him outweigh the disadvantages.
But then he hesitated a little, and the emperor remembered that day in the imperial study room and he recommended Gu Chengyu, and there was suspicion in his heart again. In the end, the emperor thought for a while and looked at Gu Chengyu, who was kneeling respectfully.
That's it! It's just a cong Liupin, even if he has already stood in line, he is not worried about Gu Chengyu being able to set off any big waves.
"Since you are so faithful, I am not unable to give you a chance." The emperor nodded and said.
Gu Chengyu was overjoyed in his heart, the emperor should have agreed. Coming to the imperial study today, there are many benefits.
"Wechen will be a fool of his heart and soul in the future, and he will be loyal to the emperor!" Gu Chengyu hurriedly picked up the nice words, and another wave came.
After hearing this, the emperor pointed at Gu Chengyu and scolded with a smile: "You are a neat mouth, and you are used to coaxing me with nice words." Come on! Don't come to flattery and flattery, talk about what is the way to present the secret fold? ”
The emperor has always felt that this person has a flexible brain, and can speak well, and has a set of coaxing. This is also the reason why he often keeps Gu Chengyu to speak, everyone likes to listen to good words, doesn't he?
Gu Chengyu pursed his lips secretly, he could see it, why didn't the emperor like to hear this? Since ancient times, which emperor did not like courtiers to flatter him? So how can the emperor's words be taken seriously?
These sentences are all the heartfelt words of Weichen! But let's talk about this method! The emperor must have had an idea in his heart, and he even came to test Weichen. Then Weichen guessed to see if it was the same as what the emperor thought. ”
Gu Chengyu has said so much before, he has already said a rough idea, and the rest is some details. Of course he can't do everything, doesn't it seem that the emperor is very incompetent?
But since the emperor wants to ask, he naturally has to say one or two. He planned to make a perfunctory remark casually, not only answering the emperor's question, but also not letting the emperor lose face.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but praise Gu Chengyu for being so skillful, and he couldn't help but feel comfortable when he said it.
"The original folds were all passed through the political secretary first, but now that there are secret folds, it is better to find another yamen or an official you value, and directly present those secret folds to the emperor! Or perhaps, the emperor has another way, Weichen has thought of so much for the time being, the emperor must have made a decision in your heart. ”
The emperor was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he saw Gu Chengyu analyzing the head of the road, and he didn't bother to think about it. But at this time, Gu Chengyu's flattery made him feel a little empty in his heart.
However, Gu Chengyu's method is not bad, but it is a little troublesome to start another yamen. Those cabinet officials will never agree, they will overturn his Taihe Temple.
The emperor thought about it in his heart for a while, and felt that it was safe to find a trusted official. He glanced at Gu Chengyu, this person is not successful, he can't figure out this person's temperament, so he should wait for him to think about it when he is free.
Gu Chengyu knew that the emperor couldn't fully trust him, and the emperor didn't say to him what he planned for the proposal just now. Gu Chengyu didn't feel disappointed, he would always know in the future, maybe the emperor couldn't make up his mind at the moment.
"I have my own judgment in my heart about this, so you should go back and think about it first. If you do your best, I have always rewarded and punished clearly, do you know? ”
Gu Chengyu thought about it for a while, although the emperor didn't promise him what he said, he had already heard the meaning of the words. Could it be that he can also fight for the position of the attendant of the Hanlin Academy?
However, after all, this is still a flower in the moon mirror in the water, and if you want to get substantial benefits, this idea is probably not enough.
"Wechen thank the emperor for his appreciation, and he should be more diligent in the future."
When the two of them said this, the emperor was concerned about the secret folding, and planned to wait for the time to think about countermeasures. He waved his hand and asked Gu Chengyu to go back to the Hanlin Academy first. And let Gu Chengyu inform Xiao Quanzi and pass on Xia Qing, who was waiting outside, to come in.
Gu Chengyu respectfully retreated, and when he left the imperial study, he saw Xia Qing standing outside the imperial study, his face was pale.
"Xiaguan has seen Lord Shousuke!" Gu Chengyu smiled and saluted Xia Qing.
Facing Xia Qing, who wanted to take credit for himself, Gu Chengyu greeted him a hundred times with foul words in his heart, but his face was still silent. And the gesture of saluting and the respect in his words were clear at a glance, which made De'an, who was waiting outside, also have his eyelids jumping.
This Lord Gu is really calm! In front of the enemy, his face did not change, and he had to admire this cultivation and mentality.
"It turned out to be Gu Xiu, and the official often heard that Gu Xiu had only learned it, and even the emperor treated Gu Xiu differently. When he has free time, the official also wants to ask Gu Xiu to compose a few poems, so that the official can open his eyes. ”
Gu Chengyu can control his temperament, and Xia Qing can naturally do it. Before, he underestimated Gu Chengyu and disdained him, but now that Gu Chengyu has become a climate, the emperor attaches great importance to Gu Chengyu, so he can't help but put this person in his eyes.
"Lord Shoufu praised it falsely, Min Bianxiu's literary style is not under the lower officials, he is your little disciple, you are afraid that you will appreciate his masterpieces every day, how can you still see these vulgar works of the lower and lower officials?"
Gu Chengyu said with a smile, and then proposed to retire first.
After Xia Qing heard Gu Chengyu's words, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and he always felt that Gu Chengyu was insinuating. He glanced around Gu Chengyu's face, and this feeling was even more obvious.
