Chapter 129 Grassroots Counterattack
Concubine Yun Gui told the emperor about the sixth prince’s enlightenment teacher. In the emperor’s impression, there was not much memory about Wang Yu. In his mind, he might not be an important person. .
The emperor hastily agreed to Concubine Yun, and left the child in Concubine Yun's hands. He didn't ask more questions about how to educate him.
As long as she doesn't go out of her way, he will try his best to satisfy Concubine Yun Guifei whatever she wants for her child. He doesn't like Xiaoliu's character, so he doesn't want to spend too much thought on it.
In Wang Yu’s home, Wang Yu and Cui Jin, who had just sent away the eunuch who had announced the decree, walked into the hall and sat down after entering the room. The family was small, except for Wang Yu’s old mother, they were the only ones there. and some servants.
Wang Yu's old mother was too old to move around, so she practiced in her yard all year round. Cui Jin arranged everything in the family.
Regarding Cui Xiu’s matter, Cui Jin had only briefly talked to Wang Yu about the details, but Cui Jin thought it would be better to wait until Wang Yu entered the game before she could talk to him slowly.
Although they are husband and wife, she believes in Wang Yu, but Cui Xiu is different. Cui Xiu is her sister, but not Wang Yu's sister. It is hard to say whether she is willing to believe Wang Yu.
So out of respect for Cui Xiu, Cui Jin still kept the secret for Cui Xiu.
But now the Holy Emperor's decree came down, asking Wang Yu to be the sixth prince's first teacher. Based on this matter, Cui Jin knew in his heart that her sister could really trust their family.
The future of the Sixth Prince is limitless.
Wang Yu can be the enlightenment teacher of the sixth prince, and there is no doubt about his future career. This is Cui Xiu's intention to help their family, and he also respects Wang Yu.
Wang Yu is a scholar, and he naturally has the arrogance of a student in his heart. He is unwilling to accept "food that comes to him". He wants to rely on his own efforts to build his own career and make the best contribution to the country. .
Perhaps such an ideal seems like a joke to many people, but in Wang Yu's heart, he understands that if he wants to do something, he must do something that others think is ridiculous but that he thinks is meaningful.
Wang Yu came from a truly poor family. He came from an inconspicuous small town in the north of the Yangtze River. Three generations of his family have been farmers. He has no connections. He just relied on reading and went from the small town to the provincial capital to Kyoto step by step. city.
Along the way, too many people laughed at him, thinking that he couldn't do it, and that he simply couldn't gain a foothold in Kyoto.
But he achieved what others thought was impossible, and with difficulty established a foothold in Kyoto City and became an official in the court.
Fortunately, he met Cui Jin. Cui Jin helped him a lot, especially financially. He managed his interpersonal relationships and maintained his quality of life. At the same time, they also had many Common topics.
He was very grateful that Cui Jin never disliked him.
Wang Yu is also well-known in the officialdom of Kyoto City, but people tend to ignore his excellence. They often tease him in the name of the Cui family's half-son-in-law, thinking that he relies on his father-in-law's family to make a living. of.
Wang Yu never denied this, because what they said was true. Many people looked down on him, but not the Cui family.
“Ah Jin, Your Majesty wants me to be the sixth prince’s first teacher.”
The joy on Wang Yu’s face could not be hidden. When Cui Jin saw the smile on Wang Yu’s face, she was sure He nodded and responded with a smile.
Wang Yu was not surprised when he saw Cui Jin, so he remembered what Cui Jin had said to him before, about his sister-in-law Cui Xiu, and he could probably guess the reason for this.
"It's my sister. It's what Concubine Jia means." Wang Yu looked at Cui Jin, trying to get some answers from Cui Jin's eyes.
Cui Jin saw that Wang Yu had already made a guess, so she said:
"Husband, this matter is a long story." Cui Jin's meaning was already obvious. This is not the place to talk. Although there are no outsiders in the house, if someone hears this kind of thing, it is not a trivial matter, and one will be beheaded.
Seeing Cui Jin say this, Wang Yu immediately understood what Cui Jin meant. The two of them went to the bedroom without delay, asking what they were talking about in their room. They are all relatively relaxed.
“He’er’s child was replaced by Ning Bin beside her.”
"She knew about this in advance and sent the child to Concubine Yun."
"The fifth prince is not He'er's child, the sixth prince is He'er's child."
"He'er When I returned home a few years ago, I already had an affair with us."
Cui Jin made it clear this time that Wang Yu is not an outsider, and Cui Xiu has already counted Wang Yu in their camp. What Wang Yu should know should be told as soon as possible.
When Wang Yu heard Cui Jin's words, his eyes widened subconsciously, with some surprise. He did not expect that there were these things involved.
He originally thought that his sister-in-law wanted to give him a chance for Ah Jin's sake. In addition, she had a good relationship with the sixth prince's mother, Concubine Yun, so she recommended him to be the sixth prince's enlightenment teacher.
I never thought that the things involved were so complicated, that it felt like a story in a storybook, but it was actually true.
Wang Yu could feel that he was about to be involved in a big plan, and this plan would require his life to be put on the line.
If the bet wins, then he will not only be the uncle of the future emperor, but also the emperor's mentor. This status can be said to be rare and precious.
But if you lose the bet, you will lose your official position, your money, and your life.
Cui Jin's eyes noticed the change in Wang Yu's expression. He was thinking and weighing the pros and cons. Cui Jin did not rush him, but continued to speak calmly.
"Brother Yu, you don't have to feel any pressure. If you don't want to gamble, I won't force you."
"I just hope"
Cui Jin's words have not yet been After saying that, Wang Yu already had the answer in his heart. He shook his head, looked at Cui Jin, and said seriously: "I am very willing to do this."
"At the same time, I also I’m very happy that you are willing to trust me and leave a part of this matter to me.”
"Ah Jin, all my life so far has been a 'gamble' step by step. No one knows the power of 'gamble' better than me."
Life is a huge gamble. He was born in a poor family. , it’s not easy to get a chance. If he didn’t dare to gamble, he probably wouldn’t be in Kyoto now.
Instead, he farmed in the countryside at home and lived a life with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky every day. He wanted to get ahead, so he chose to study hard in a cold window and bet with hard work, even if he lost. He is also willing to have nothing.
But for now, he is still very lucky.
After all, every big bet he participated in made him win, allowing him to stand on the land of Kyoto City and stand in front of Cui Jin.
"I am willing to step in and help you."
