Besides, if he doesn't stay in the Hanlin Academy for the full three years, what if the Emperor or the new Emperor, Xia Qing, use this as a reason to prevent him from entering the Cabinet in the future?
This cannot happen!
"Your Majesty! I have just entered the Hanlin Academy not long ago and am being transferred away from there. I am afraid this is not appropriate, is it?"
Gu Chengyu felt a bit troubled and tentatively asked.
"What? You are unwilling to go to the Dali Temple?" The Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression darkened.
Gu Chengyu knew he was being somewhat ungrateful, but for the sake of the future Grand Secretary position, he had to brace himself and reply, "Actually, there's no rush with this matter. Once there's a vacancy, Your Majesty can consider me then."
