the next day.

Gu Tingqiu still stayed in the mansion.

However, even if he was at home, the days were not peaceful. Many people came to visit, some for official business, and some heard that his daughter had climbed up to Wang Wei and wanted to congratulate him.

All these people were turned away by Gu Tingqiu on the grounds that he was sick and unable to treat guests.

Only one person entered the Gu Mansion.

It was his student, Liu Yueze, who is now the cabinet secretary.

Liu Yueze was originally his protégé. After entering the officialdom, he relied on his support, so the two sides were still very close. Because it was him, Gu Tingqiu reluctantly let him enter the mansion.

At this moment, two people are sitting in the study room with two cups of tea on the table in front of them.

After a long silence, Gu Tingqiu said: "Just say what you have."

After several years of ups and downs in the ocean of eunuchs, he still looks like a scholar. He is white and beautiful, and he is completely unrecognizable in his normal clothes. He turned out to be the young man who was determined to work in the cabinet at a young age. Book in the cabinet.

And in front of Gu Tingqiu, he was still very humble: "Teacher, I heard that the teacher handed over his resignation to the emperor, and the student came to ask.

"What are you asking?"

Gu Tingqiu glanced at him: "You are asking the old man, why are you resigning?"

"..."

"Just like those people, ask if the old man's daughter has done anything about climbing dragons and attaching phoenixes?"

Liu Yueze shook his head and said, "Students want to ask, but the teacher still remembers his ideals at the beginning of his career."

"...!"

Gu Tingqiu was taken aback by his question.

Turning his head to look at his own student, he saw his face solemnly and solemnly said: "The teacher once said that if you want to clean up the injustices in the officialdom and the world with your own power, you must work with the current emperor and will The Yan Dynasty created a prosperous world with no one before and no one to come."

"..."

"Nowadays, the prosperous age has not yet arrived, but the teacher has to resign."

"..."

"Has the teacher given up, or has he forgotten?"

"..."

"If even the teacher gives up and forgets, can the students retreat bravely?"

Gu Tingqiu immediately said: "What are you talking about? The old man is already old, but you are still young and have a bright future. How can you have the heart to retreat?"

When Liu Yueze heard this, he immediately said: "That teacher, as a cabinet minister, can be regarded as an example of a hundred officials, how can he resign because of such a small matter?"

"You said, this is a small matter?"

"Is not it?"

Before Gu Tingqiu finished speaking, Liu Yueze followed up and said, "Even if this is a major event, what about it? The great desire of men and women to eat, even if Miss Qingqing and Wang Wang are good, shouldn't be the reason for the teacher's resignation."

Gu Tingqiu laughed furiously.

He said: "You think that eating men and women, the great desires of people, is nothing great. But do you know, how can the old man still be an official in the upper court and how can he become an example of a hundred officials?"

"..."

"The old man even taught his daughter to be like this, so what face is there to deal with major national affairs?"

"teacher……"

At this point, Liu Yueze's tone was also a bit heavy.

He frowned and looked at his teacher. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said: "Teacher, I love my feathers too much and care about my reputation."

"..."

"But these things, in front of the real big things to be done, what are they worth?"

Hearing what he said, Gu Tingqiu's brows wrinkled.

"what did you say?"

Liu Yueze simply got up and walked in front of him. He stretched out and said: "Please forgive the students for being bold, but the students have to say something. From the teacher's point of view, Miss Gu has a way of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, but how is that? Obviously it is a very good help. What will be done in the future will be much easier than it is now. Why must the teacher resist so much?"

Gu Tingqiu saw this persistence of his students for the first time.

Moreover, it is insisting on fighting against oneself.

He said in a deep voice, "Yueze, don't you think these things are worth mentioning?"

"Not bad."

"In order to accomplish your own great things, don't you care about these things?"

"of course."

"If you want to do something wrong?"

"..."

Liu Yueze was silent for a moment, and a sharp light flashed in those originally peaceful, like Hong Qiushui eyes.

He said in a deep voice, "It's okay."

"..."

"If one day I need to do something wrong and be a bad person to achieve what I want to do, students will not be stingy."

"..."

"Even in the end, it ends up dead."

"..."

"The students do not hesitate."

This is the first time Gu Tingqiu heard Liu Yueze say such words. He taught many students. Liu Yueze was not the best, but he followed him the longest because this student was obedient and gentle.

But he didn't expect that under the soft surface, he actually had such a determined and stubborn heart.

For a while, Gu Tingqiu didn't know what to say, but looked at him solemnly.

After a long time, he said, "Yueze, this is the first time you have said this to your teacher. Is this your true word?"

Liu Yueze said: "Yes."

Gu Tingqiu said solemnly: "You should know that the things in the world are paid back. What you do will not be relieved of responsibility and cost because your purpose is good. Everything you do will go to the end. , We have to weigh it on the balance."

"..."

"Since you have this kind of consciousness, you should be prepared to bear the consequences."

Liu Yueze said: "Yes."

His eyes were firm, without flickering or shaking.

Faced with such a student, even Gu Tingqiu was a little moved. After a long silence, he said: "Okay, I know what you are going to say. Go back and let the old man think again."

Liu Yueze said: "The student retires."

After saying goodbye and left.

Looking at his back, Gu Tingqiu sat in a chair without moving for a long time, and sighed for a long time. At this time, Gu Yiyou walked in from the side.

Of course he also heard Liu Yueze's remarks and said to Gu Tingqiu: "Father thinks that Senior Brother Yueze is wrong?"

Gu Tingqiu was silent for a long time, and said: "It's not right or wrong."

"..."

"I just didn't expect that Gu Tingqiu, I would actually teach such students."

Gu Yiyou said, "Brother Yueze has always had a tough mind. Otherwise, he would not have stayed with his father for so many years."

Gu Tingqiu shook his head and said, "I don't know where his thoughts came from. Could it be that their Liu family was born with them? If this is the case, his future, and even his descendants, still don't know how it will be. What did you do."

Gu Yiyou was silent.

Just when the father and son were relatively speechless, the butler hurried in from the outside and said with a look of emperor: "Master, there is news from the palace!"
