PFC Chapter 416 The thoughtful heir!
Chapter 416 The thoughtful heir!
Gu Jingzhi nervously tested Zhou Quan's knowledge.
But he found that the more he asked, the more frightened he became, and the more they talked, the colder he felt.
Wasted!
It could be said that Zhou Quan was almost half ruined, and he finally understood why Emperor Wen had never noticed the huge problems with Zhou Quan's knowledge for so many years.
Even when Gu Jingzhi left the Eastern Palace and sat in the carriage back home, he felt his scalp tingling!
"That's really amazing..."
Gu Jingzhi murmured unconsciously!
Zhou Quan's knowledge seems to be fine on the surface, but there is always a huge deviation at the critical point, just like the track of a train, a slight change will make it go in the opposite direction!
If someone could teach someone to be like this, unless it was done intentionally, Gu Jingzhi would not even notice it even if he was beaten to death.
At the same time, he also understood why Zhou Quan did not say a word in the court. It was because of that slight deviation that caused him to not dare to speak.
If there were only one or two court officials, it would not be a big deal for Zhou Quan to express his views, but the problem was that... all the court officials, when discussing politics, were based on a basic idea and proposed various solutions!
What Zhou Quan learned...is exactly different from that basic point of view!
To put it bluntly, the reason why he didn't dare to speak was that he was afraid that once he opened his mouth, he would be exposed and thus arouse the suspicion of the ministers in the court.
and so……
His nominal student was not as humble and respectful as he seemed, but had already developed a certain degree of scheming and cunning!
Thinking of Emperor Wen's health, he suddenly felt that things were in trouble!
……
After Gu Jingzhi left.
Zhou Quan in the East Palace sat there thoughtfully. He had not moved since Gu Jingzhi left.
a long time……
The girl named Qingxuan suddenly spoke up, "Your Highness, was that gentleman your teacher? Why did he look so scary?"
"Scary?"
Zhou Quan suddenly smiled when he heard the girl's description. "That person is a high-ranking official in the court who no one dares to look down upon. He will soon be appointed to the cabinet by my father. He is the current Marquis of Xiling... and he is also my teacher!"
"Join the cabinet?"
Qingxuan was a little surprised and asked, "Your Highness, that Marquis is looking at..."
"You're so young, yet you're already listed as a cabinet minister, right?"
Zhou Quan looked at the girl, pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "You seem very afraid of him?"
A charming look appeared on the girl's face, and she said in a delicate voice, "I don't know why, but when I see him, it's like seeing a majestic and important person. I can't help but feel a sense of panic in my heart!"
"Big shot..."
"hehe!"
Zhou Quan smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with describing the teacher like this. He is one of the most influential figures in the court!"
"Really?"
The girl's bright big eyes blinked like stars.
"Oh! You seem very happy to hear this news?"
Zhou Quan asked with a smile, grabbing the girl's soft and boneless waist.
The young girl moaned softly and exhaled softly, saying, "He is your Highness's teacher. Such a person will surely be a great help to your Highness in the future. I am naturally happy for your Highness!"
"Haha! That's true!"
Zhou Quan's hands wandered over the girl's body, and he said with a hint of pride, "I predict that within a few years, he will become one of the most important figures in the court. I will naturally feel delighted to have such a person assisting me!"
"but……"
The hand that was caressing the girl's soft spot suddenly tightened. The girl cried out in pain, and her eyes looked at Zhou Quan as if dripping with tears.
"Your Highness, it hurts..."
"hehe!"
Zhou Quan loosened his grip and patted the girl's buttocks: "Xuan'er, I hurt you!"
"uh-huh!"
The girl was about to cry, but she shook her head. Seeing that the boy who was controlling her seemed to be lost in thought, she didn't dare to speak anymore. The hall suddenly became quiet!
After a while, the boy moved his mouth and a barely perceptible sound was heard.
"But! He is not only my teacher, but also my second brother's teacher..."
Second brother...
That is the second prince of the current dynasty, Zhou Ning, the second son of Qiao Shuwan, who is now named King Ling.
Gu Jingzhi has been neglected by his father over the years. He doesn't want to offend his father, so he has not been close to the Xiling Marquis Mansion over the years. In comparison, his younger brother goes to the Xiling Marquis Mansion much more diligently than he does!
Not every few days, but I go there once or twice a month.
Thinking back to when I was in Ningzhou, Gu Jingzhi, the strict yet gentle teacher, and the teacher's wife who always had a smile on her face...
To be honest, the impression from his youth was deeply engraved in his heart. Zhou Quan was in awe of this teacher. After all, he was someone who dared to challenge his father.
However, as I grow older, a seed of rebellious psychology sprouts in my heart!
He had known the news of Gu Jingzhi joining the cabinet and being promoted to Minister of War very early on. It was his father who told him personally. If it weren't for his younger brother, he would have been very relieved.
But I know my own affairs best. I am afraid that at this moment, both the teacher and the teacher's wife will like my second brother and Yu'er more!
After all, apart from himself, his younger brothers and sisters who grew up with him are closer to the Xiling Marquis Mansion than he is.
This teacher has been much more low-key in the capital recently, but no one dares to ignore him. All the officials in the court say that Gu Jingzhi deserves half of the credit for Daxia's current status.
Seeing that the prosperous era is about to come, his father will not be able to survive until that time, which means... the prosperous era of their Zhou family's Great Xia will come in his hands.
But the more time came to this, the more he couldn't help but think of what happened when his royal grandfather passed away!
"Your Highness, you don't seem very happy!"
The girl caressed the boy's chest with her soft hands and asked timidly.
Zhou Quan woke up from his deep thoughts after hearing this. He looked at the girl and said with a smile, "Why should I be unhappy?"
The girl shook her head: "I don't know, I just feel that His Highness seems unhappy!"
"hehe!"
The boy just smiled softly but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Qingxuan became bolder and a charming smile that was not suitable for her age appeared on her face.
"Your Highness, didn't your teacher praise you highly when he was testing your knowledge just now? I think he recognizes your Highness, so don't be upset!"
"Haha? How can you think he's really praising you?"
"That's no need to say it!"
The girl said coquettishly, "Your Highness is the crown prince, with a handsome appearance and a brilliant mind. You also said your teacher was a strict person, so I think such a person would never tell lies!"
"Ha ha……"
"You are smart!"
Zhou Quan laughed loudly and looked at the girl in his arms with great satisfaction.
The girl's words seemed to be just ordinary comfort, but what was the reality?
I think it was the words he just whispered that reached the girl's ears, which gave her such comfort.
In her opinion, even if the two brothers had the same teacher, there seemed to be no reason for them to help the other one if they were relatively satisfied with each other, right?
After all, the person in front of you is the prince!
