Chapter 454

Gu Zheng, who pulled out a feather duster and a square cloth towel from the sundry room on one side, slowly walked into the unknown and mysterious Imperial Academy this morning.

The previous entrance was connected with the inner academy, which was half connected with the hall of diligent administration. At first glance, most of the books in the previous dynasty, but there were basically no supplementary books. Unexpectedly, the study was cleaned clean and tidy to the point of being spotless.

Gu Zheng, who had just stepped into the library, withdrew without thinking about it. He turned and walked in the direction of several rows of houses connected behind the library.

In this independent courtyard, as expected, as the inner class told him at the beginning, there were two powerful guards at the door.

After they carefully checked Gu Zheng's waist card and confirmed that this was Xiao Huangmen who came to work, they put him into the hospital with a puzzled face.

Hearing this, Gu Zheng heard a whisper at the door. He deliberately slowed down his steps and listened to this sentence clearly.

"In such an important place, the first one to come was a little yellow gate?"

The bodyguard next to him told him, "it's a newcomer to clean. I just hope he sees what's inside and don't break it."

The remaining two were so strict that they didn't say a word more, and quietly became the door god.

Let confused Gu Zheng, can only carry a basin to confirm himself.

When Gu Zhengjin came into the small courtyard, he found that it must have been just arranged in a hurry.

There are some dead leaves and paper scraps floating in the yard. On the thick dust, you can see several rows of clear footprints carrying things here.

I think this yard was vacant for a long time. After it was found, it was used again.

When Gu Zheng pushed open the door of a room on the far right of the courtyard, he found that the pattern here was quite a separate office space in the imperial court.

Independent desk seats, shelves and bookcases behind each position, and even a half high couch table for rest on one side. But the strange thing is that there are so many positions in this deep palace. Who is it for?

Thinking of Gu Zheng here, he looked at these cabinets that were incompatible with the room and smeared them. In addition to the floating soil on the upper floor, these furniture were newly purchased.

This also provides great convenience for Gu Zheng's cleaning work.

Looking at a place that might become his future workplace, Gu Zheng rolled up his sleeves, lifted up his robe, tucked in his belt, squatted in front of these tables and chairs, and began his own work with great care... Cleaning.

And this little body is really a loss. It took an hour to clean up the room, but Gu Zheng felt bursts of pain when he was always bent.

Gu Zheng, who drew a corner of his mouth, held the wall and pushed open the door of the middle room.

As soon as he pushed the door, Gu Zheng was stunned. He even put down his hand holding his sore waist.

This is an independent room different from the left and right sides. This central room is a specially transformed room after opening a long room and sealing all other redundant doors into walls, leaving only the front and rear doors.

What can shock Gu Zheng is naturally what is placed in the room.

The sand table made of white sand and clay is divided into different plates, but it is the border terrain map of several countries that are intertwined and deadlocked with the New Song Dynasty.

Hanging in the middle of this large room is a huge general map of mountains and rivers.

From this huge and most detailed map of the dynasty, Gu Zheng can see that the monarch of the New Song Dynasty named Zhao Kuangyin has an irresistible ambition in his heart.

Moreover, after passing through the sand table and map, there is an independent space, where there are bookshelves like inner Academy.

On these shelves, without exception, are all military books, as well as some military related documents and letters that have been exchanged, and even some memorials exchanged between the former generals and the imperial court.

Now, all are gathered on these huge shelves. Looking at the past, it is very shocking.

Shocked, Gu Zheng forgot to clean, gently tilted his body to the side of a bookshelf, picked up a book on it and looked through it carefully.

Such complete military books are hard to come across in all dynasties.

It's not that Gu Zheng didn't have time to touch it at all.

Now that he has such a good opportunity, how can he miss it and don't look full?

At this point, I was immersed in it.

If Gu Zheng hadn't been more vigilant than others, he wouldn't have noticed that a person suddenly appeared in this special room.

The man didn't make a special cover up when he came. He seemed to be surprised that there would be other people in the room. He stared at Gu Zheng who had raised his head.

Just after the man and Gu Zheng looked at each other silently for a few seconds, Gu Zheng, who leaned on the bookshelf, held his hand to the side of the shelf and put down his robe at his waist. After the books in his hand were placed on the shelf in a regular manner, he hung his hand in a regular manner and waited for the owner who entered the room to speak first.

After seeing Gu Zheng's series of slow movements, the middle-aged man asked questions with interest.

"You know who I am!"

This sentence is not a question, but an affirmation.

With this remark, Gu Zheng just lowered his head slightly, and replied, "boy, you know, you are your majesty."

"Oh?" the man on the other side picked his eyebrows, but he was more interested. He dragged over a couch stool beside the wall of the military map, sat down on it, and continued to ask, "since you know, you are not afraid? Look at your appearance, I'm afraid you're not old?"

"Just entered the palace and came out on duty? How can you know my identity?"

Then he looked suspiciously at the old clothes he was wearing, and his tone was a little suspicious.

The opposite Gu Zheng was still calm, and his answer was half afraid: "Your Majesty has good eyesight. The boy is the third-class little yellow gate who has just joined the Hanlin academy today. Gu Zheng is also."

"The boy's age is really not big. He has turned 13 since the new year."

"But at such an age, among the people outside the palace, they have reached the age of supporting the door. As the saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge early. Your majesty is not old, but in fact, he is not young."

Hearing Gu Zheng's words, the middle-aged man didn't know what he thought, but sighed.

But when I heard the little yellow gate opposite, I went on. It seemed that I wanted to answer all the questions he had just raised before it was the end.

In this regard, the heart of the real middle-aged man actually raised a feeling that the child was a little straight, but he was quite interested and continued to listen.

Who knows, the child's words that life is not easy stopped suddenly. Instead, he continued to talk about the problems he was afraid of.

"The boy has no possessions. He won the grace of his majesty when he entered the palace and got a job that can support his family and live in this troubled time."

"Naturally, I am grateful and loving to the giver of this work."

"Not to mention eating your salary and worrying about you. I have never done anything wrong. Naturally, I don't need to be afraid in front of my parents."

"What's more, a clear and bright King will only be loved and respected by the people and his subordinates. If one day everyone is afraid just because of this identity, it shows that the monarch's majesty is also biased and refuted, and can only let everyone maintain his high position with fear."

"Therefore, when I saw your majesty now, I only had gratitude and admiration, and there were no other worries in my heart."

Hearing this half implicit and half obscure flattery, Zhao Kuangyin was physically and mentally happy. His mind could not calm down because of the chaotic situation around the country, as if it had been settled for a few points because of Gu Zheng's words.

Subconsciously, Zhao Kuangyin asked one more question: "then you haven't said how do you recognize my identity?"

When Gu Zheng heard this, he finally lifted his eyelids and looked up at Zhao Kuangyin. This suspicious disease is really serious enough.

The main purpose of his question is to know how an unknown waiter recognized his identity, right?

Thinking of Gu Zheng here, he replied seriously, "the boy is speculated."

"Oh? How to speculate?"

"Exclusion."

"This imperial academy is a department just established by the sage. Yesterday, the only person in charge was selected from the new internal waiter supplement, that is me."

"And since the boy came to work here, there has been no one else except the two guards of the imperial guards guarding the door outside."

"Moreover, the buildings during this period are arranged in a hurry. The cleaning work can only be done by the boy alone."

"According to the rules of the palace, during the normal working hours, the internal servants shall not leave their posts without permission and go to work places that do not belong to them in private."

"It's early now. It's not the time to eat in the morning. Naturally, it can't be the yellow gate from the imperial dining room."

"In the room where the boy is located, there are many wonderful things. The reason why these things are put in the inner palace is naturally prepared for its privacy and confidentiality."

"For people who can freely enter and leave this room and are not boys, there is only one possibility left, that is, the real owner of this room, his Majesty the emperor who set up the Imperial Academy, himself, came here."

"This is the real idea of the boy's guess. Of course, there is a slightly illusory statement. Maybe you don't believe it."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin was happy. He then said, "Oh, what kind of idea is it? How can you determine it? I'm sure I won't believe it?"
