There are still many smart people.
There are loopholes in calculating others.
It was only a matter of time before someone discovered him.
Gu Shouyuan was right.
In this game, no one could see it more clearly than the emperor.
Xu He had already thought that this matter could not be hidden from the emperor.
However, he felt that he was not in a hurry about this matter.
It’s okay to return things as soon as possible, but the time can be arranged more cleverly.
For example, wait for a month or two and then turn the things robbed from Prince Ji's palace into other goods or treasures and present them to the emperor in other names.
This has two benefits.
First, although he and the emperor had a tacit understanding, all in order to drive away the annoying vassal king, but that was the vassal king after all, and he was a relative of the emperor after all.
The so-called lack of intimacy is what I did, but I absolutely cannot admit it.
Therefore, everyone can feel at ease if they postpone it and donate the looted things in other names.
Secondly, this time point is too sensitive, and I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Xu family.
If it moves at this time, I'm sure no smart person can guess three of them.
However, since Gu Shouyuan came to show his kindness, Xu Song stopped hiding and told Xu He all his thoughts.
When Gu Shouyuan heard this, he was stunned. He thought that he could leave a good impression on Xu Song by coming to the door today to pick up the missing pieces, but he didn't know that someone had already thought of it, and the method was more thoughtful than him!
Thinking of this, he stood up and said with shame: "I am a low-ranking official and I am making a fool of myself by playing tricks on my desk!"
Xu Song waved his hand and said, "Mingshan, you are a friend of Ziyu and Shenxing. I won't hide it from you. In fact, this plan was done by Liangsheng."
Xu He felt a little surprised when he heard his uncle say his name.
However, before he could think about what his uncle meant by doing this, Gu Shouyuan looked at Xu He in surprise and said, "Liangsheng, it's you..."
However, after a moment, he shook his head and smiled: "I should have guessed it was you, Jinling Provincial Examination, if you hadn't arranged it carefully... Oh!"
I don't know if this sigh was because he passed the test in Jinling Township Examination in danger, or because he had traveled in vain today.
After talking about the matter, Gu Shouyuan had no intention of leaving immediately. He first told Xu He about the past during the provincial examination, then reminisced about the past with Xie Kun, and finally, reported to [Leader] Xu Song about his recent achievements. Work and study situation.
Seeing that it was time to eat, Xu Song rarely asked someone to go to the street to prepare a table for Gu Shouyuan.
After having enough wine and food, Gu Shouyuan left the Xu Mansion.
After he left, Xie Kun twirled his beard and said, "Ming Shan may not be here specifically for King Ji's business!"
Xu Song nodded and said, "He is a smart man!"
Xu He nodded with deep sympathy. When he was in Jinling, he found that Gu Shouyuan was bold, careful, and very smart.
If he hadn't requested an order in advance to let the emperor hand-pick the rankings of the Southern Zhili Township Examination, Xu He's rural examination would definitely have been disturbed by rumors.
However, although Gu Shouyuan was a friend of Xie Kun and his teacher.
But he is definitely not people like Li Zhijie and Xie Kun.
Compared to [traditional scholar-bureaucrats] like Li Zhijie and Xie Kun, he seems to know how to adapt...
"I remember, Ziyu, you, Li Zhijie, and Gu Shouyuan will take the exam. The chief assistant will be the examiner, right?"
Xie Kun nodded and said: "Yes, Gu Mingshan is the proud disciple of Mr. Qin Ge. Otherwise, he would not have already taken the position of Chunfang official when Shenxing went to the prefecture and county to work hard for qualifications."
As mentioned before, Chunfang officer is a position that can only be held by cadres promoted by rockets. Gu Shouyuan is Qin Yan's student. Without Qin Yan's promotion, he would not have been able to sit in that position.
However, Gu Shouyuan could not fail to see the conflict between Xu Song and Qin Yan about the feudal king's trouble. If things went wrong, Xu Song rejected Qin Yan's marriage proposal. Now it has been spread in the capital. It is impossible for him to continue. You don’t understand this about interpersonal relationships, do you?
Then he came over today and said he would study it in detail.
"Could he be sent by Qin Yan?" Speaking of this, Xie Kun shook his head and said, "Probably not. Although Brother Mingshan is very close to Qin Yan, he always has a bottom line. Even Qin Yan once said that Gu Mingshan is [circle on the outside and square on the inside]."
Xu He understood the meaning of his uncle's words.
The so-called "circle on the outside and square on the inside" means that the person has principles in doing things, but on the surface the person is very smooth.
In the context of Xie Kun's words, it can be understood that Gu Shouyuan is very good at handling interpersonal relationships, but when it comes to personal future gains and losses, he still makes a clear distinction.
In other words, he noticed something and felt that his future was slim if he continued to follow Qin Yan, so he took this opportunity to follow Xu Song and leave a way out for himself!
Thinking about it this way, all three of them thought it was very possible.
How to get closer to the leader? The first step is to talk about work and let your boss know about your work.
Thinking about the details of Gu Shouyuan's report to Xu Song on their work at the Hanlin Academy, isn't this correct?
Xu Song is not a bachelor in charge of the college, so what kind of work should he report to?
This is obviously a test before taking refuge.
"Uncle, Mr. Gu is a useful person. It's a pity that he stays in Hanyuan!"
Xu Song nodded and said: "I know him fairly well, but don't worry, I believe he won't be able to stay in the Hanlin Academy for long!"
Xie Kun nodded: "This time he was released to serve as the chief examiner of the Nanzhi Township Examination. In addition, he also holds the title of Chunfang official. It is estimated that he will be promoted soon!"
…
The people from Prince Ru's Mansion left in despair, and the capital became peaceful again.
However, the aftermath of this incident has not yet subsided.
The reward money that was originally planned to be allocated to the vassal king was allocated to Huguang this time.
The Ministry of Rites was not indifferent to the various vassal kings who were eager to take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble. Qiu Teng went directly to Shu and scolded a bunch of vassal kings.
What about those who say they are one body with the country and are separated by the country?
how? The country is at war now. Not only do you not help the court, but you also cause so many troubles. What do you want to do?
Why does the imperial court need these [fences] from you?
What does the emperor want from you relatives?
Don't be anxious. If you are anxious, we will cut off your confession directly. Let's see if you still dare to cause trouble?
In this case, the old master said that he should ask Emperor Zheng to issue an edict and send envoys to denounce the vassal kings.
But obviously, Emperor Zhizheng would not allow it.
Now that other parts of the country are grateful if they don't cause trouble, who can provoke these relatives?
If it is used by someone with ulterior motives, things will get out of hand.
However, Emperor Zhizheng still selectively retained the request for severe punishment of Rufan in the memorial of the old master.
I sent someone to reprimand Prince Ru, and ordered him to bury his father immediately, and then put Wu Yurong, the long history official, in place, and replaced him with an "obedient" person.
However, these are not important. What is important is that the annexation of Prince Ru's Palace is strictly investigated. The reason is that someone reported that Wu Yurong used the name of the feudal government to plunder people's fields.
Damn, that’s so ridiculous.
However, in politics, do the means and reasons matter when the goal is achieved?
