Gu Yudao: "There is another thing that you brothers may not know. In the early stages of preparation for this symposium, when funds were most tight, the eldest princess's only son, King Xiaoyao, and the prince of Zhenguo Gongfu each donated 5,000 taels to each post station.
Go so that we can rest at the inn.
Later, she and she worked hard to attract investment for the symposium, so we had high beds, soft beds, and delicacies on jade plates."
In fact, she is not a person who likes to show off, but since she wants to enter the court, she must win some good reputation for herself in advance so that she can cultivate her power in the future. These students are the easiest to be bribed without too much intrigue, so she
I can only endure my anger and take credit for myself.
Gao Huai said excitedly: "Brother Gu Xian didn't tell me, we really didn't know. We just thought it was the court showing mercy. I didn't expect that the eldest princess's only son and the prince of Zhenguo had paid a lot for this. We were still acting like villains just now.
You really shouldn’t speculate on the eldest princess.”
Then he asked: "How did Brother Gu Xian know about this?"
Gu Yudao: "Ask the servants in the garden and you will know that Brother Gao concentrates on studying and never pays attention to these details."
The eldest princess smiled outside and said, "This Prince Gu is really a wonderful man."
Junze didn't know what he was thinking of, and his peach blossom eyes were full of smiles: "Yes, it's wonderful."
After a pause, he added: "I'm just a bit thick-skinned."
Gu Yu on the other side of the wall did not know that all her remarks had fallen into the ears of the eldest princess and her son, and she was still glad that she had finally put an end to Su Zhongfu's meaningless topic.
She breathed a sigh of relief and then brought the topic to the reform of the imperial examination.
The court had been occupied by aristocratic families for too long, and she could faintly feel the emperor's restlessness.
In the opinion of most courtiers, when students from the south of the Yangtze River enter Beijing this time, it is enough for the Holy Emperor to send an army to suppress them. Are they still afraid of a group of powerless scholars raising their troops to rebel?
There is no need to go to great lengths to hold any informal talks.
However, the Holy One refuted all calls for suppression and became furious when all parties took the matter lightly.
At that time, she immediately sensed this unusual thing outside the Qinzheng Hall. After entering the hall to make a speech, she even attracted praise from the Holy Emperor.
Gu Yu suddenly understood that it was not that his suggestions were excellent and complete, but that they scratched the Holy One's itch just right.
Looking back on all the changes in the court, I can see that the foundation of the Holy Spirit has been solid, but it is still subject to many shackles.
Take this matter as an example. The Holy One praised the talks very much, but the Ministry of Revenue was still perfunctory and refused to do its best. In the final analysis, it was because of the involvement of many forces in the DPRK and China, and it was expected that the Holy One would not punish them for this.
Gu Yu secretly guessed what the Holy Master intended by doing this. He was probably dissatisfied with the close relationship between the courtiers and wanted to personally cultivate the poor men as a countermeasure.
Once she understood this, she knew what she was going to do in this symposium. She made many hints to the scholars during the conversation, asking them to bring up the reform of the imperial examination promotion path at the symposium.
As the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, she is inevitably classified as a noble. If she talks about improving the status of a poor scholar, she will inevitably not encounter counterattack from the nobles.
You can only disguise yourself, blend in among them, and show them the direction of their speeches in the symposium.
After talking to Gao Huai for a long time, her mouth was dry and her tongue was dry. Seeing that the group of people were gradually getting on the road, she made excuses and left.
Spring was already deep, and Yangkang Book Garden was full of greenery. Gu Yu was walking along the corridor and passed by a wing. He was about to go in and get some water when he heard a conversation coming from inside.
"I feel ashamed, I have to bother the princess with this matter." A male voice said.
Gu Yu was confused when she heard the eldest princess inside say: "Don't worry, Magistrate Su, although this matter is difficult, since I already know about it, I will not sit idly by and do nothing."
Magistrate Su! The eldest princess!
Gu Yu was shocked. The male protagonist and the vicious female supporting character in "The Song of Green Plum" actually met here and even got hit by her.
Gu Yu thought in her heart, "Don't listen to indecent remarks." Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly felt someone appear behind her.
She subconsciously wanted to take action, but she keenly sensed that this person had no murderous intent. There was a mixed bag of fish and dragons here, so it was better not to expose her martial arts skills.
Gu Yu narrowed his eyes and stopped moving his hands.
Unexpectedly, the person behind her kicked her in the back of her legs without saying a word, grabbed her arm, cut her behind her back, and pinned her to the ground with three blows, unable to move.
"ah--"
Gu Yu couldn't help but cry out. His arm, which had just been healed for a while, felt severe pain.
The eldest princess in the room immediately opened the door and saw her son Junze holding down a student in a sweatshirt.
He said hurriedly: "Ze'er, what are you doing?"
Ze'er, Junze, Xiaoyao Wang.
Only then did Gu Yu know who had attacked her, and thousands of curse words ran through her heart.
Why!
Why him again!
She obviously had a conflict with this person, so why did she keep running into his hands?
Seeing the eldest princess coming out, Junze freed up his hand, grabbed Gu Yu's chin, lifted it up, looked into her eyes, and raised his lips with a smile.
Gu Yu was so angry that she glared at him with a pair of phoenix eyes.
Junze seemed to have just realized that the person he was pinning to the ground was Gu Yu. He quickly let go of his hand and pretended to be annoyed:
"Hey, I thought I was some ignorant student who snuck here and listened in the corner. I didn't expect it was Prince Gu."
Gu Yu stood up holding her arms, her face flushed with anger. If this person hadn't done it on purpose, she would have written her name upside down.
She stiffened her neck and defended herself: "You don't have to slander anyone. I was just passing by here and didn't hear anything."
Junze said: "You mean passing by? I think you are just eavesdropping."
Gu Yu was so angry that he couldn't speak coherently: "You, don't go too far."
She was really deceived by lard. She had indirectly praised this man for his good looks in front of the group of students just now. In the blink of an eye, this evil star came to trouble her.
She regrets it now, regrets it very much. How could she have forgotten how bad this man was just now and she should have severely disparaged him.
The eldest princess came to Yangkang Bookstore this time just to meet Magistrate Su and exchange a favor with him. After all, the "Green Plum Song" incident was well known throughout the city, and Magistrate Su's childhood sweetheart almost died because of it.
She didn't think there was anything shameful about this, so she asked her son to guard the door. She trusted her son Junze's insight. If Gu Yu was really eavesdropping, it wouldn't be as simple as being pinned to the ground.
Besides, the eldest princess knew that her son had some disagreements with Prince Gu before, so this gesture was probably intentional, so she immediately comforted Gu Yu and said, "I believe you are just passing by."
Gu Yu snorted coldly at King Xiaoyao, and then saluted the eldest princess: "I have met the eldest princess. I hope you are safe, eldest princess."
Junze said from the side: "Why don't you see Prince Gu saluting me? Although I have some friendship with Prince Gu, the etiquette cannot be discarded. Just like you and me did to me just now, it is disrespectful to me."
I'm generous and won't argue with you."
Gu Yu was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. He gritted his molar teeth and said to him, "I've seen this before..."
The eldest princess interrupted her: "Okay, okay, please stop teasing Prince Gu."
At the end of "The Princess", Gu Yu stood up straight.
At this time, a handsome man came out from behind the eldest princess and said with a magnanimous face: "Su Zhongfu, the magistrate of Tongning County, has met King Xiaoyao and Prince Gu."
