Chapter 339: Life in Exchange

The chief minister's intention was very obvious, asking the emperor to make preparations as soon as possible regardless of whether he planned to adopt the family.

Even if a son is really born in the future, the children raised now can serve as virtuous ministers to assist the future prince.

The emperor naturally understood this truth, but the emperor had not taken any action because he did not want to send such a signal.

On the surface, he is training the clan, but in fact, everyone knows that he is serving as a reserve for the prince.

As the foundation of the country, the prince should not be dismissed lightly. The emperor was also afraid that these clan members would have undesirable delusions and things would become unmanageable.

Now the chief minister speaks sincerely, and his heart and eyes are full of good things for the emperor.

They have been kings and ministers for many years and have a tacit understanding. The chief minister has long been honored by the emperor, and he is allowed to enjoy the imperial temple in the future.

The emperor could not ignore his suggestion. At this time, he could only say: "Don't worry, dear, I will definitely take this matter to heart. Originally, I planned to carefully inspect the children under ten years old in the clan. Now it seems that there can be more Ask a few teachers to gather these children together and select the best.”

The chief assistant does not necessarily require the emperor to select someone now, as long as the emperor has such a plan.

The old man was very relieved.

The emperor then said: "If we choose a place to open a school within the palace walls, would Aiqing be willing to be the first teacher?"

The first assistant cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have your wish, but I dare not invite you."

The emperor continued: "For the outstanding ones among these children, even if I do not choose them as princes, I will give them a good future in the future."

The first assistant was even more relieved.

After the chief assistant left, the emperor sat in a chair and looked at the empty palace, feeling dazed for a moment.

He still remembered that when he was young, he studied political affairs with his father. At that time, the palace did not seem to be as deserted as it is now.

The late emperor also had few children. Apart from him and the eldest princess, he only had two other sisters. As soon as he was born, he was named the prince, and the queen mother was also promoted to the queen.

He thought that he would definitely not be like the late emperor, but he didn't know that he was even worse than the late emperor.

The emperor sighed, turned to look at Qian Rongsheng, and said, "Go to the Hanlin Academy and summon Gu Mingda."

Gu Mingda is neither too busy nor too idle in the Hanlin Academy. He is not Sun Jiaxing, and he is not easily bullied.

There are indeed difficult people among his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, but Gu Mingda climbed up from the bottom, and people at the bottom will not be easier to deal with than these people.

It had only been a few days since he entered the Hanlin Academy, and his colleagues knew that Gu Mingda, who was born in a poor family, was not that easy to deal with.

Gu Mingda is not a lazy person, so the official duties he has to deal with every day are all within his control.

Qian Rongsheng's arrival was like a drop of water falling into a boiling pan of oil, instantly confusing the originally peaceful Hanlin Academy.

After Gu Mingda left, a group of Hanlin officials gathered together to chat.

"I don't know why His Majesty summoned him." A colleague asked in a low voice.

There are also people who have been in the Hanlin Academy for many years but have never seen the emperor. At this time, they can't help but say sourly: "We, the number one scholar, are so lucky. We have only been in the Hanlin Academy for a few days, and we were summoned by His Majesty alone. He was about to see him. He is so prosperous! Speaking of which, Lord Sun and Lord Gu have the best relationship. Why doesn’t Lord Gu mention this good thing to Lord Sun more? "

Sun Jiaxing, who was standing next to him, glanced sideways at the sour talker and said, "Why should I let him talk about me more? A man is born in this world, can't he stand upright and upright by his own abilities? Do he have to let others pull him?"

When the sour man heard this, he never expected that Sun Jiaxing would answer like this. He immediately looked like a clown and was so angry that he blew his nose and glared on the spot.

Sun Jiaxing didn't dwell too much on this matter, and turned around to continue his work.

Seeing someone hit a wall, the others immediately swallowed the provocative words they wanted to say.

On the other hand, Gu Mingda, who was ranked second in the same science examination, looked around and quietly caught up with the angry and sour man. The two of them gathered together and muttered for a long time, and no one else knew what was said.

Gu Mingda, unaware of the plot behind him, followed Qian Rongsheng into the palace to pay homage to the emperor.

"Get up." The emperor said casually.

Gu Mingda stood where he was. The emperor didn't speak, and he didn't take the initiative to ask. Instead, he looked at his nose and his heart.

The emperor looked at Gu Mingda standing there, handsome and upright, like a majestic and motionless poplar, and couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Gu Aiqing, do you know why I called you here today?"

Gu Mingda naturally shook his head and cupped his hands: "I am stupid, I beg your Majesty to make it clear."

The emperor sneered and said: "Gu Aiqing raised such a good daughter, my harem is almost overturned by her!"

When Gu Mingda heard this, he suddenly looked worried and said: "Your Majesty, my daughter is naughty. If there are any consequences, I am willing to bear the consequences. I beg your Majesty to forgive my daughter's sins and let her out of the palace."

The emperor did not expect Gu Mingda's reaction, and said casually: "Responsibility? If I really want to take responsibility, I'm afraid you will end up as an official."

Gu Mingda worked hard to be an official, but after hearing this, he still insisted: "As long as I can get my daughter's safety, it's okay not to be an official."

Gu Mingda was even more worried about Niu Niu's situation. He didn't think the emperor was joking. Instead, he felt that the palace was strictly forbidden and Niu Niu would be greatly wronged.

The emperor looked at Gu Mingda deeply, and then said: "I heard that this child is not your biological daughter, but a naughty daughter. You are a pillar of the country. Why do you have to give up your bright future for an adopted daughter?"

Gu Mingda still did not change his mind and said: "Your Majesty, the saint said that if you can't clean up your own house, how can you clean up the world? Although I don't know what my daughter did wrong in the harem, it is the fault of the father who raised her but didn't teach her well. I am dismissed for this, and it is also something I should bear."

"Just dismissal is not enough. Your daughter bumped into the imperial concubine in the harem and made a big mistake. Now only by paying with her life can the imperial concubine calm down." The emperor said this and suddenly realized something was wrong.

The imperial concubine, who had always been in his heart and regarded as a treasure, did not hesitate to mention the name of the imperial concubine when he needed to use it as an excuse.

When Gu Mingda heard this, he thought the Li family was taking advantage of the situation. He thought that he had not agreed to the Li family's invitation to the banquet, so he was retaliated.

"Your Majesty, my daughter is young. If you really want to pay with your life, you might as well use my life. In the final analysis, it is because of my poor teaching."
