Along the railway tracks, several hills next to Zhixing Academy were all razed to the ground.
The engineering team is stationed, the workers are stationed, and the construction starts.
Knowing that an academy was to be built again, everyone inquired about the inside story.
"Except for the imperial examination, all subjects are offered?"
"Can this kind of academy recruit people?"
"Study is for the imperial examination. An academy without an imperial examination is pure waste."
"The god stick Ren Qiu is the first mountain chief? Are you kidding me? Are you going to teach a group of little god sticks?"
Hahaha…
Everyone laughed happily.
It is determined that the newly built academy will be a failed academy.
Looking at the laughing crowd, Gu Gong secretly cursed, "Idiot."
How many times has it happened that there are still people questioning the empress's decision. Sure enough, this group of people never knew how to learn a lesson.
Every plan of the Empress Empress seems incredible, bold and stupid.
The result was all slaps in the face.
If we don't open academies for imperial examinations, is it bound to fail
Ask the scholars all over the world, is everyone determined that they must take the imperial examination
This was probably the case before.
With Shanhe Academy as an example, today's scholars insist on studying, not just for the imperial examination.
Many people changed their wishes and gave up the imperial examination halfway through their studies.
This is already a common thing in Shanhe Academy.
A similar situation occurred in the Guozijian.
The Zhixing Academy next door has been established for a short time, and similar signs have also appeared.
The imperial examination is no longer the only goal to pursue.
There are always people who don't like imperial examinations and prefer other subjects.
"Master Fifth!"
A steward of the Gu family took two servants to the Military Academy, searched around and finally found Gu Gong.
Gu Gong rolled his eyes and wanted to drive him away.
The steward said hastily: "Master Fifth, the younger one is here to invite you. The old man is not feeling well, please go back quickly."
The old man mentioned by the steward was naturally Gu Zhili.
Gu Gong said with a straight face, "The old man is not feeling well, he should consult an imperial physician instead of me."
The steward hurriedly explained: "The fifth master misunderstood. The old man has been ill for almost a month, and the imperial doctor is checking the pulse every day and prescribing prescriptions. Seeing that his condition is getting worse and worse, the third master ordered the younger one to invite the fifth master to go back. The fourth master, in addition Someone was sent to invite him."
When Gu Gong heard this, he knew the situation was serious.
He asked, "The old man has been ill for a month, what's wrong?"
"It's geriatric disease! The old man is getting old, his health is deteriorating, and he doesn't know how to drink alcohol. In short, the situation is very bad. The third master is in a state of desperation, and there is no other way, so he can only invite all the masters home."
Gu Gong nodded, "Wait for me for a while, I'll pack up and go back. Does the palace know that the old man is seriously ill? Did the uncle and the second master get any notice?"
"The palace has already notified. The uncle and the second master also sent letters."
The uncle in the two populations refers to Taiping uncle Gu Ting.
The second master is Gu Heng.
Gu Gong cleaned up briefly, and followed the steward back to the mansion in a carriage.
When he entered the door, he happened to meet Pei Man who was bringing his child to visit his illness.
"I've met my sister-in-law!" Gu Gong was very polite.
Pei Man first said "um", "So it's the fifth brother! Come in, everyone is waiting for you."
"yes!"
Gu Gong walked quickly in front, and in a blink of an eye, the distance between the two parties was opened.
Pei Man nodded secretly, "After going to the Military Academy, I really felt much more peaceful."
The old Gu Gong was full of hostility. Explosions can happen anywhere, anytime.
Today's Gu Gong is very calm. It seems that no matter how big the twists and turns are, it is difficult to make waves in his heart.
It's a pity that after so many years, Gu Gong is still single.
There are two old mothers and a few servants to take care of them. Not even a housemaid.
No one could guess what Gu Gong was thinking.
Do you really want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life
A dignified descendant of the Hou family, the younger brother of the empress, who has been a bachelor all his life, has a bad reputation!
If something happens to the old man, the whole family must keep their filial piety.
The marriage was delayed again.
If this continues, Gu Gong will really become an old bachelor, and his reputation is too bad.
The confidant nanny whispered in Pei Man's ear: "Could it be that the fifth master has broken sleeves?"
Pei Man snapped, "Don't talk nonsense! If he had broken his sleeves, there would have been news. For so many years, there have been no rumors about him, so it can be seen that he is not broken. It may be because he is disabled and knows that he is worthy." If you are not a lady from a famous family, and you don’t want to make do with it, you will always be a bachelor.”
"Madam is right. If the old man can't do it this time, the fifth old master's marriage will be delayed for another three years. After three years, he will be too old." What the confidant mother said was not pleasant, but it was true.
Pei Man said with a straight face, "Let's look at this matter again."
As the elder sister-in-law, she should care about Gu Gong's marriage.
However, the Gu family is in a special situation.
Gu Gong's marriage was a matter of concern for Gu Chenghu and his wife. It was not Pei Man's turn to point fingers.
…
"Bring the wine! The old man wants to drink!"
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard the old man Gu Zhili yelling for a drink.
The confidant mother curled her lips, "They are too sick to walk, and they are clamoring to drink. They don't listen to the doctor's orders at all. How can they recover?"
Pei Man frowned, and told the nanny, "Don't speak without my permission."
"The servant obeys!"
Pei Man walked across the yard, went up the steps, and walked towards the Hu family under the eaves.
"Why didn't my brother and sister go in?" She asked curiously.
Hu was worried, "My sister-in-law is here! Their brothers are inside, so it's not suitable for me to go in."
"Then I will wait here with my siblings."
"Hard work sister!"
"It should."
In the bedroom, there was a sound of smashing things.
The movement was terrifying.
The children looked terrified.
Pei Man waved her hand and asked the children to wait in the flower hall.
This scene should not be seen by children.
Gu Zhili clamored for a drink.
Of course, Gu Teng and his brothers would not agree.
The imperial doctor has said, to quit drinking.
Bang!
Gu Zhili smashed the medicine bowl directly.
He pointed at the three sons, "You bastard! One and two are all unfilial sons! This old man is going to the Yamen to sue you!"
He tried to stand up from the bed, but his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't stand at all.
With a mournful face, Gu Quan supported Gu Zhili, "Master, the imperial doctor said that we must quit drinking."
"Shut up!" Gu Zhili's face was extremely ugly.
Gu Cheng's face was full of sadness, "Except for drinking, my son can agree to anything else."
Gu Gong looked at him coldly, "Give him a drink! Drink to death!"
The fourth brother Gu Hun stood in the corner without saying a word, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.
Gu Zhili couldn't stand stably, even with Gu Quan's support, he still felt tired.
He simply sat back on the bed, panting, "I must go to the government to sue you."
Gu Gong raised his eyebrows, "Go ahead and sue! The whole family is dead, it's over once and for all."
Gu Cheng was so worried, "Fifth brother, can you stop talking. I asked you to come back to visit your father, not to make you talk irritatingly."
Gu Gong sneered, and pointed at Gu Zhili, "With his appearance, either we were killed by him, or he was killed by himself. I'm telling the truth, what's the matter, aren't you allowed to tell the truth?"
Gu Teng stared at him, "Fifth brother, I remember you didn't talk so much before."
Gu Gong laughed, "As an instructor in the academy, I have to talk every day, I'm used to it."
Gu Hui stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Congratulations, brother five, you have finally opened up the situation in the Military Academy."
Gu Gong glanced at Gu Hui, but ignored him.
Gu Hun didn't feel embarrassed either, he just tried his best to do what he should do.
Gu Zhili twitched all over, his hands shaking like chicken feet. He opened his mouth and drooled, but couldn't speak.
"It's not good, the old man is sick again!" Gu Quan yelled.
"Go to the wing room and invite the imperial physician here." Gu Teng has rich experience.
The imperial physician has already been stationed in the Gu family, and the palace specially ordered it.
The imperial doctor came to the bedroom with the medicine box. The first thing to do is to get an acupuncture treatment, to control the disease first.
It took another injection and some medicine to stabilize Gu Zhili's condition.
Wipe the sweat off his forehead, the imperial doctor is also very hard.
The imperial doctor warned: "The old man can't drink alcohol, and he can't be stimulated anymore. When you talk to the old man, you should be gentler, don't provoke him."
Gu Cheng repeatedly agreed, said hard work, and sent the imperial doctor back to the wing.
Gu Zhili was lying on the bed, extremely weak.
At this moment the butler hurried in.
"Master, Prince Qi is here!"
Gu Teng was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, "Hurry up and welcome."
When the brothers walked out of the bedroom door, His Royal Highness Liu Yu had already led people into the courtyard door.
"See you, my lord!" Everyone saluted.
"Uncles and aunts, please hurry up. Today we only talk about family etiquette, not state etiquette. This king is a surrogate mother and later came to visit my grandfather and his elders."
"Your Highness, please come inside! Tired lady and the prince are worried, the old man's condition is temporarily under control..."
Gu Teng welcomed Qi Wang Liu Yu into the bedroom.
In the bedroom, a strong smell of medicine filled the nostrils.
King Qi walked into the bedroom calmly.
Gu Cheng shouted at Gu Zhili: "Father, look, His Royal Highness King Qi is here to visit you on behalf of the empress."
Gu Zhili was awake, he opened his eyes, and it really was His Royal Highness Qi Wang Liu Yu.
He stretched out his hand, trembling uncontrollably, "His Royal Highness King Qi!"
"Is grandfather feeling better? Both the queen mother and this prince are very concerned about your health."
"Help the old man up." Gu Zhili ordered.
Gu Quan hesitated for a moment, but still helped him up.
Gu Zhili stared at King Qi and sized him up, "Isn't the empress here?"
"It's inconvenient for the mother to leave the palace, but the mother has always been concerned about your physical condition." King Qi said with a smile.
Gu Zhili laughed, "I owe it to her to be here today. She wants to avenge her mother, so she locks me up and makes my life worse than death. Obviously she has fulfilled her wish. Go back and tell her that this old man has died." After paying the price, she can no longer treat this old man like this."
"Father!"
Gu Teng's face turned pale with fright, "My lord, my father is confused, don't listen to his nonsense."
"The old man is not talking nonsense!"
Gu Zhili leaned forward hard, trying to get close to King Qi.
Gu Teng wanted to stop him, but was stopped by King Qi.
"Can the three uncles back away for a moment. This king wants to hear what my grandfather has in mind."
Gu Ting was dumbfounded.
Gu Zhili was triumphant, and said to Gu Cheng: "I have a lot of things in my heart that I want to say to His Royal Highness King Qi, you all go out."
"Your Highness, this..."
"Go out!" King Qi interrupted Gu Cheng, "Don't worry about the three uncles, my grandfather is just talking to the king, nothing will happen."
Gu Zhili pretended to be powerful, "Have you heard that, why don't you get out quickly."
Gu Teng smiled helplessly, full of worries, and walked out of the bedroom.
Gu Gong and Gu Hun backed out as early as the first time.
What Gu Zhili wanted to say to His Royal Highness King Qi, he could think of it with his toes.
As soon as the sons left, Gu Zhili said eagerly: "My lord, you must tell the empress that the old man has paid the price these years. The old man is trapped in the mansion and cannot go out. Life is worse than death. The old man has already regretted it." , I really regret it!
The old man was obsessed with ghosts back then, so he was not worthy of being a human being. Seeing that the old man is old and frail, and can't live long, let the old man be spared. The old man just had one wish, to go out and have a look. Don't shut me up anymore, okay? Woohoo..."
Speaking of sad, Gu Zhili burst into tears.
An old man, sobbing and crying, looked really pitiful.
The housekeeper, Gu Quan, wept together.
Qi Wang Liu Yu was unmoved, and his heart was calm.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Gu Zhili was stunned for a moment, "No, no! The old man really regretted it. You must tell the empress and tell her that I have regretted it and I have learned a lesson."
"Don't you hate your mother?" King Qi asked casually.
Gu Zhili trembled all over, "No, I don't hate, of course I don't hate!" The more he said, the more determined he became.
Qi Wang Liu Yu nodded clearly, "I understand! Grandfather must take care of your health. I will come to visit you sometime later."
"My lord, you must tell the empress what the old man said!" Gu Zhili shouted hard.
King Qi Liu Yu didn't look back, and left the old bedroom.
