Guo Pu stayed in Wuyi Palace for a while, before leaving, he submitted a copy of the green poem to Wanshou Palace, bowed respectfully to Jiajing, who was in the quiet room inside, and then turned around and left the West Garden.

His ability to hold the position of Minister of Personnel is not because of his high prestige in the officialdom, but everything is thanks to the favor of the emperor. Even Xu Jie, who is of high status and power, dare not go to war with him easily.

After coming out of the West Garden, the sunset has set.

A sedan chair that looked ordinary was waiting under the tree next to the palace gate for a long time. After seeing Guo Pu's figure, he hurried to Guo Pu's side as soon as possible.

"Go home!"

Guo Pu, wearing a first-rate official uniform, got into the sedan chair, but did not intend to return to the office of the Ministry of Personnel, but chose to return directly to his home and spoke out two words with majesty.

On the way back, he turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window and quietly carried out a profound reflection.

He was a Jinshi in the 14th year of Jiajing and one of Xia Yan's disciples at that time. Although he was not as dazzling as Wu Shan and was favored by the then Minister of Rites, he respected this teacher very much.

During the seven years he first entered the officialdom, he saw how his teacher reached the peak of power, how he fell from the peak of power, and became the chief assistant who was beheaded in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

It was from this teacher that he could see clearly the essence of this officialdom.

The emperor is the source of power, and if you want to gain more power, you not only have to win the trust of the emperor, but also to eliminate your competitors. Just like Yan Song in the past to Xia Yan, and Xu Jie in the past to Yan Song today.

If he wants to gain greater authority, he also needs to eliminate dissidents. Wu Shan has long become the biggest obstacle to his career, so he naturally should join hands with Xu Jie to get rid of this roadblock.

February is a season full of infinite vitality.

In the courtyard of Guo’s mansion, the flower bed, which was originally covered with ice and snow, had begun to rejuvenate. As the ice and snow were melted by spring, the withered branches emerged from tender buds.

"Lin Weiran is here?"

Guo Pu just returned to the study when he heard the butler coming in to report, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

As the days of Beijing Camp approach, more and more officials tried every means to come to the door. However, he did not intend to choose Li Mo's style, but directly rejected all the officials, but instead selected some available ones.

People.

Although his relationship with Xu Jie is in a honeymoon period, he is also making some preparations, and he is naturally walking in front of Yuan Wei for the future.

Foreshadowing.

However, this promising prefect of Shuntian was not among the crowd. Instead, this man didn't understand the difference between the two, which made him feel bored.

"Let him come in!"

Guo Pu could not guess the other party's purpose, but at present he did not want to break up with Wu Shan directly. He also wanted to maintain the surface harmony between the two parties, so he immediately ordered lightly.

The butler responded and immediately went out to take the person to the study.

Guo Pu did not meet Lin Weiran in the study room in the inner room, but chose to sit in the side hall in the outer room, majestic sitting on the master's seat and slowly drinking tea.

"The official has met Shangshu Guo!"

Lin Qingran followed the housekeeper to the side hall and kept the etiquette and said rituals.

"Sit!"

Guo Pu gently placed the teacup on the table, raised his hand and pointed to the seat next to him, and asked straight to the point: "Prince Lin is anxious to see the official, but he doesn't know what's going on?"

Lin Qingran sat down on the seat, feeling a faint feeling of indifference in Guo Pu. He did not speak, but looked at the butler and handed the piece of paper to the butler Guo.

Butler Guo did this kind of job of serving people, just a look, and immediately understood Lin Qingran's opinion. He stepped forward to take the piece of paper, and then respectfully handed it to Guo Pu.

Guo Pu took the piece of paper for no reason, but looked up at Lin Qingran. He saw Lin Qingran taking the tea from the maid, but slowly pouring the tea with the tea lid there, making him look very calm.

Looks like.

Guo Pu didn't know what Lin Qiran sold in the gourd, and he didn't intend to make random guesses. He just opened the note, but saw that it said: I am impatient and don't be quiet when I encounter things.

Lin Weiran stopped pouring tea, with no expression on his face, and his eyes fell on Guo Pu.

Guo Pu's pupils contracted slightly, but they recovered in an instant. When he saw these eight words, although he was not sure which link was wrong, the evaluation he gave to Zhou Youqing was leaked.

Now that Lin Xuran came to the door, he undoubtedly wanted to "sponsor accusation". However, he had to admit that this kid was very smart and found this thing and even knew his choice in advance.

Guo Pu's eyes moved away from the paper. Although the matter had been leaked in advance, the officialdom of many years had already made Mount Tai collapse without changing his expression. He looked up at Lin Weiran and asked lightly: "Premier Lin, you give it to me."

What does this official mean when I see this thing?”

This sentence seemed very clever. Although the matter had been exposed, he still took the initiative and tentatively tested Lin Shiran's reaction through questioning, thus making the best response.

Lin Xuran has been paying attention to Guo Pu's reaction. Although he was unable to catch Guo Pu off guard, Guo Pu's reaction has proved that things are not false. This man made some plans from the beginning.

Facing Guo Pu's inquiry, Xiao Jiujiu, who didn't know the other party, took a sip of tea, but asked in a fight for the initiative: "Shangshu Guo, do you still have an impression of this evaluation?"

Guo Pu knew very well that although this boy was young, he had more political wisdom than Wu Shan. So he picked up a teacup from the table and held the shelf of the Minister of Personnel and asked: "So what? So what if there is? So what if there is no?"

As soon as these words came out, the butler standing next to him swallowed secretly and smelled a smell of gunpowder.

Lin Qingran looked at the other party and wanted to tear his face on the spot. He suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked up at Guo Pu calmly and said word by word: "Shangshu Guo, if there is, then you seem to owe one to us.

explain!"

When the Beijing Inspection just started, they chose to put the chips on Guo Pu and seek the help of the Minister of Personnel. In this regard, Guo Pu also gave a positive answer and promised to help him when the time comes.

For them.

But I never thought that this dignified Minister of Personnel not only did not help them overcome the difficulties, but also wanted to join forces with Xu Jie to kill them and attack them in secret.
