Zhou Mingshan said so, which also makes sense.

But the one above is the Son of Heaven, who dares to blame?

Not long after sending Gu away, Hongyun returned.

The good news is that Zhou Mingshan finally learned what happened.

It turned out that because the struggle between the queen and the concubine Yue was becoming more and more white, the officials below also formed gangs and factions, and disputes continued.

In particular, the eldest son of the emperor is smart and clever, and he is even liked by Emperor Xianqing, and now he is studying in the upper study with his masters, which is quite praised by those great Confucians.

In order to stabilize the rear position, one side in order to fight for what should be their own, there is a struggle, of course, there will be sacrifices.

Unfortunately, Yuan Wei was one of the victims of this fight.

As the emperor's confidant, Jia Qing, the servant of the ministry, of course follows the emperor's thoughts, so his usual style of acting is faintly biased towards Concubine Yue.

And Du Wenyuan, the secretary of the ministry, was a friend of Su Gaocan, the reign prince of the dynasty, and of course he was a member of the queen's faction.

Although he is not in good health, he is still the chief official of the ministry, and he is tossed by Jia Qing silently on weekdays, but this time, when Jia Qing was caught off guard, he let him plant a fight, and lost a lot of manpower.

Knowing that Yuan Wei was involved in the dispute between the concubines, Zhou Mingshan was also a little speechless.

Who knew that it would be such a coincidence, just to run into the official department of Shangshu?

In addition, the bad news is that because of the Liujia embankment breach along the river this time, the loss of personnel and money is strict, and the emperor is very angry and personally inquires, so I am afraid that the selection of river workers sent to the East River this time cannot be changed.

I heard that the emperor also read the answer sheet of the palace examination, and thought that the people who were protected were all old and stable, so he also greatly praised Du Wenyuan, saying that he had the wisdom to know people.

Hearing this, Zhou Mingshan couldn't help but want to smile bitterly again.

Thinking about the temperament of the eldest cousin, it is really like this, no wonder even if he doesn't know how to work in the river, and he can still be selected at a young age, I heard that several others are all people in their thirties and forties.

For now, I can only let my eldest cousin be prepared. Try to bring as many reliable staff members as possible, so as not to get caught blind in a hurry.

Looking at the appearance of the Gu family today, it should only be a moment of anger, once he knows that it was appointed by the emperor. I guess I can only complain in my heart.

When the time comes, she will be fine if she goes around a little more.

It's a pity that Zhou Mingshan forgot the words unpredictable.

Just when she was thinking about what she could do to help in this matter, Gu came to the door again.

"I didn't know. Sister Shan'er is quite good at lying!"

As soon as she entered the door, Gu Shi shook her handkerchief and looked at her with a smile.

Zhou Mingshan had a bad premonition.

She asked as calmly as she could, "What does my aunt mean, Mingshan doesn't understand?"

"I don't understand, if I don't understand, you dare to talk nonsense in front of me!" Gu Shi slammed the handkerchief in his hand onto the table next to him, "If you understand, I don't know what you want to do!"

Zhou Mingshan wasn't sure if she knew, so she simply didn't answer.

Seeing that she was silent, Gu thought that she was weak-hearted, and her tone became more and more severe. "Cousin of the in-law, how dare you plot against him like this, what good will it do you? Ah, now I have to ask your mother how she was raised, and our family can't afford to have such a ......."

As he spoke, he had to go outside.

"Aunt......" Zhou Mingshan stopped in front of her, "If my aunt is dissatisfied, even if she comes to Mingshan, even if she wants to withdraw from her family, she can also sue Mingshan directly, and please see it for the sake of my uncle." Don't bother my mother!"

"You still know your uncle, so why don't you want to think about your eldest cousin?

"Auntie, I don't ......"

"Even if you didn't do it, didn't someone from the Jia family do it?" Gu Shi didn't listen to her explanation at all. Approaching her step by step, "Since you already know the news, why don't you keep it secret, isn't it because you don't want to let your eldest cousin be unhappy?" Otherwise, we can go to the door and replace your eldest cousin as soon as possible......"

Thinking about it, he was really worried in his heart, although Gu had a strong attitude. But as he spoke, his eyes turned red, his voice became smaller and smaller, and his tone became weaker, propped himself on the edge of the table, covered his mouth and cried mournfully, his shoulders twitched, "They fight them, why do you want to drag others in, my poor Wei'er......"

It turned out that the eldest uncle Yuan Wenkai happened to have a friend in the ministry, and secretly inquired about the reason for the incident and told him.

"Auntie, don't ...... like that"

Zhou Mingshan wanted to comfort her, and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

Don't worry about the eldest cousin, flesh and blood are connected, and the eldest cousin's trip is indeed not smooth, maybe there will be tribulations.

At this time, those poor words were so pale and powerless, she had to sit Gu Shi on the chair.

Gu Shi turned his head to look at her, as if he had suddenly discovered something rare, and a bright light burst out of his eyes, "Sister Shan, or, why don't you go to find someone from the Jia family again, let him say a few kind words in front of the saint, and don't let your eldest cousin go, okay?"

His eyes were full of anticipation.

It seems that the Gu family only knew the reason why the eldest cousin was selected this time, but they didn't know what was going on.

Zhou Mingshan said with difficulty, "Uncle, this matter was decreed by the emperor, and it can't be changed!"

Gu Shi didn't believe it, and retorted sharply, "You are talking nonsense! It's just a little river worker, where can you use the emperor's aptitude, it's not up to those people in the ministry to decide, are you treating your aunt and me as fools to play with?"

She said anxiously, "No, aunt, what I said is true!"

Seeing that the Gu family still looked like "you are a liar", Zhou Mingshan had no choice but to tell the news he got from Jia Xinyi.

"If it weren't for that, there was no need for my aunt to say, Ming Shan would definitely try her best to replace her eldest cousin, but now ......"

Gu Shi looked at her stunned, "What you said is true?"

"Hmm!"

Gu, who got an affirmative answer, seemed to have suddenly lost his strength, and collapsed softly on the chair.

"Aunt......"

Gu Shi suddenly straightened up, stretched out his fingers and pointed at Zhou Mingshan tremblingly, and his voice was hoarse, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault, if you don't look for the Jia family, wouldn't Wei'er be fine?"

Although Zhou Mingshan was worried about Yuan Wei, she was a little reluctant in her heart, but it didn't mean that she was willing to accept such an accusation.

"Auntie, Ming Shan didn't agree with this, it was Aunt Ming Shan who had to ask Ming Shan to find a relationship to dredge, and also set a date, why is it now that all the responsibility is put on Ming Shan's head, doesn't my aunt think it's ridiculous?"

"You, how dare you fight back?" Gu Shi was even more angry, his teeth were clenched, and he got up from the chair with a "poof", "Okay, it's really a good tutor! Since you are so capable, our family doesn't dare to have a daughter-in-law like you, I'll go to your mother now, and your relationship with Zheng'er will be over!"

Zhou Mingshan was anxious, "No, ......"

"You don't have to go to Neizi, since my sister-in-law dislikes it, we don't dare to force it, my sister-in-law will return Geng Ti, I'm in charge of this matter, so I should have never mentioned it,!"

A cold voice suddenly came from outside and interrupted Zhou Mingshan. (To be continued.) )
