The incident in which grandson Li Ji injured the Minister of Etiquette immediately caused a stir in the palace.
From the emperor to the palace maids and eunuchs, everyone was shocked.
A dignified second-rank official, a contemporary scholar, and the highly respected Minister of Rites had his head ripped open?
This is no small matter.
Gu Jinnian originally wanted to stay and see the situation, but unfortunately something big happened in the palace and it was not good for him to stay, so he was forcibly taken away by his mother, Princess Ning Yue.
After returning to the Gu family, her mother Li went to the main palace to inform Marquis Linyang of the affairs in the palace.
Gu Jinnian went back to his room to rest by himself.
Return to the room.
Gu Jinnian skillfully took out a pen and paper. What happened today made him understand several things.
First of all, my reputation is really bad now, not only among the people, but also among officials.
Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, was a great Confucian of our time and held real power. If such a person confuses right and wrong, the emperor would be afraid of him, let alone himself.
Things like reputation depend on status. The higher your status, the more you care about reputation, especially if you are going to enter the court in the future.
This matter is very important.
I must wash away my grievances and clear my name, otherwise, I will be in even greater trouble in the future.
Secondly, now I have offended my grandson. Although it seems to be a joke between children, I have caused trouble anyway. I must keep this matter in mind. If it continues to get worse in the future, then I can only think about it.
There are other ways.
This is okay, it won’t have much impact for a short period of time.
The third one is Daxia Academy.
The Minister of Rites has made it very clear that when he arrives at Daxia Academy, he will slowly take care of himself.
You can think with your toes that Yang Kai has already said hello to the people of Daxia Academy. If he makes a mistake in Daxia Academy, he will probably be scolded in full.
You might even start to take action, so you should pay attention to this, just in case.
"In total, there are still about twenty days before Daxia Academy begins."
"In these twenty days, you must concentrate on reading and see what good things the ancient tree can bring."
Gu Jinnian muttered in his heart.
He wrote down the problems of his current situation, including three main issues.
In fact, there is another problem, and that is drowning.
However, I don’t have any clue about this matter for the time being, and it might be a misunderstanding, and I am overthinking it.
Shaked his head.
Gu Jinnian didn't think any more, picked up the sage's book and started reading.
At the same time, Gu Jinnian also entered his mind, looking at the ancient tree and the newly grown resentment fruit, and moved his thoughts.
Now the fruit falls.
This resentment fruit came from the Emperor of Daxia, but it was several times larger than the previous one. This proved that the higher the status, or the higher the realm, the more resentment was generated.
As the fruit fell, golden light filled the air, and soon two more ancient talismans appeared.
[True Word Mother Talisman]
Along with the appearance of the ancient talisman, a message also appeared in Gu Jinnian's mind.
"Is this what it is?"
Gu Jinnian clicked his tongue a little. This talisman was a bit weird. It didn't play according to the routine. It didn't mean that if you posted this talisman, the other party would tell the truth.
But after pasting this talisman, no matter what the other party says, you can instantly sense whether it is true or false, so the denominator talisman and the sub-talisman.
When the child talisman is attached to the opponent's body, the mother talisman can sense it.
This thing is not good at all, but it is not bad at all.
If attached to the right person, this thing is worth a lot of money and can bring huge benefits.
Overall, it's a good thing.
In the future, when I really get involved in politics, no matter whether I am a superior or a subordinate, if I encounter a difficult problem and post it, many things will become clear.
it works.
However, Gu Jinnian hopes for something more substantial. After all, except for his good family background, everything else is ordinary.
That's why I'm not so excited.
But what I have to say is that the emperor has a lot of grievances, and if you mess around a little, you can get rewards.
Gu Jinnian thought to himself.
That's it.
Time passed little by little.
Two hours passed.
Everything is quiet.
The entire Hou Mansion was extremely quiet, even the sound of insects was much less.
Inside the room.
Accompanied by a green lamp, Gu Jinnian read seriously.
Wisps of talent poured into his body.
The quantity is not large, but the victory lies in persistence.
Gu Jinnian did not read for the sake of talent. He read every book extremely carefully, and then understood the meaning and obtained the truth from it.
It is precisely because of this that strands of talent flow into the body.
Otherwise, how can you condense your talents just by reading.
The point is to learn.
About ugly time.
Gu Jinnian felt a little tired. He put down a book written by a great scholar and let out a long breath.
All told, he had not slept for twenty-three hours.
I didn't sleep for two or three days in a row, feeling very tired.
However, after reading this book this time, I gained a lot. I not only understood some ideological principles, but also gained some talents.
All these talents poured into the ancient trees and will soon form the fruits of Confucianism and Taoism.
"sleep."
After getting up and stretching, Gu Jinnian was about to go to bed, but at this moment a voice suddenly sounded.
"Nian'er."
The voice sounded.
Gu Jinnian was startled, and when he looked around, he realized it was his grandfather, and his whole body went numb.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Gu Jinnian was indeed a little numb. Someone suddenly came to the room in the middle of the night. Gu Jinnian had to have some concentration, otherwise he would start screaming.
"Nian'er, it seems that you are really enlightened. You can study hard into the night. Grandpa is really happy. You are much better than your unpromising uncles. You are worthy of being my grandson."
Gu Yuan spoke, his face was full of kindness, and his eyes were full of joy and pride.
He arrived within an hour, but he found Gu Jinnian studying and didn't bother him.
"That's true."
Gu Jinnian nodded, he recognized his grandfather's words.
Gu Yuan: "......"
The latter obviously didn't expect that Gu Jinnian would be so shameless. He praised himself, but Gu Jinnian responded unceremoniously. At the same time, a slight resentment entered Gu Jinnian's body.
"Grandpa, why did you come to see me late at night?"
Gu Jinnian looked at Gu Yuan, who came to see him in the middle of the night. Something must have happened, but Gu Jinnian was a little curious and didn't know what it was.
"Nian'er."
"The incident where my grandson injured Yang Kai today was instigated by you, right?"
Gu Yuan spoke, his face calm.
"Ah? I don't know, grandpa, who is complaining from behind?"
Gu Jinnian looked surprised. He would definitely not admit this.
Anyway, Li Ji must have taken the blame.
Gu Jinnian is not stupid and will never confess.
"Grandpa didn't come here to ask for punishment."
"Don't rush to deny it."
"Grandpa came here today to say a few words to you."
"You have offended Yang Kai with this behavior. Although our Gu family is not afraid, you will go to Daxia Academy in a few days."
"Once you go there, it will be difficult for grandpa to protect you even if he wants to."
"But you have to go, so you must learn to be smart. No matter what you do, you must be careful and don't be taken advantage of."
"If those old guys really dare to bully you, you come back and tell grandpa, and grandpa will help you, but no matter what, you have to take action first. As long as you take action, grandpa will not let you suffer any grievances. Do you understand?
?”
Gu Yuan said slowly, teaching Gu Jinnian seriously.
Obviously, the Daxia Academy was far more complicated than he thought. Even the Duke of Zhen Guo could not get involved. It must be said that the status of Confucian scholars in the Daxia Dynasty was high.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the situation in the country. During war years, the status of generals is indeed not high.
"Grandpa, don't worry. After the drowning incident, my grandson has become sensible and knows how to deal with things."
Gu Jinnian nodded.
Gu Yuan was also very satisfied with this answer.
"Nian'er, grandpa is very pleased that you can answer like this."
"Also, don't blame your father. He has shouldered a lot of things. You don't know it yet. He may seem to be harsh on you, but no one doesn't care for his own offspring."
"Nian'er, there are some things that grandpa doesn't know how to tell you. You must remember to study hard and don't waste your studies. Some things should be tolerated. As long as you have fame, everything will be easy to talk about.
.”
"Also, your sixth uncle has hired someone for you on this trip to Daxia Academy. He can help you a lot. If you have anything you don't understand, please ask him."
Gu Yuanyu spoke with great sincerity.
These words seemed a bit baffling, but Gu Jinnian nodded.
Indeed, I don’t know many things, especially the situation in the court. The court is as deep as the sea. If you don’t step in, no one will know what’s going on.
But every word my grandfather said was a piece of wisdom.
However, sending someone to help him made Gu Jinnian a little curious.
"grandfather."
"My grandson will definitely remember this."
"But, who can I send to help me?"
Gu Jinnian said slightly curiously.
"A great talent."
"He will come to you when the Daxia Academy recruits students."
"Okay, Nian'er, you have a good rest. Don't be tired. Take a good rest during this period."
Gu Yuan did not explain who it was, but just told Gu Jinnian to have a good rest.
After saying this, he left the room.
"Grandpa, walk slowly."
After Gu Yuan leaves.
Gu Jinnian was silent for a while. After a while, he ordered his servants to bring hot water, washed briefly, and then lay down on the bed to sleep.
And at the same time.
Gu Yuan left the room and came to the main hall alone.
At this moment, the figure of Gu Jinnian's sixth uncle, Gu Ningya, appeared here.
