Zhu Zhongjun read it word by word.

He looked up and saw Gu Jinzhi looking at him with a sad brow, thinking about something.

Zhu Zhongjun was unhappy and asked Gu Jinzhi: "There are so many volumes of legal decrees, why did you take the 'adultery' volume all of a sudden?" ”

Gu Jinzhi: "...... Comrade, you're too far away, aren't you? ”

"Do you think that I have been to Luzhou for more than a year and have committed adultery with Qianlan?" Zhu Zhongjun asked unrelentingly.

"I don't think it matters. That's how the law is determined. Gu Jin said, "Pull your attention back!" ”

Gu Jinzhi also came over, took his hand, and followed it to look at it again.

The current law is still formulated during the reign of Taizu.

The laws of the Taizu period were notoriously strict!

The old ministers who followed Taizu to fight the country back then were basically purged, either killed or exiled. The law was also made in response to the unstable situation at the time, and it was very strict. The slightest mistake can be beheading or hanging.

Up to now, in the past 100 years, some laws and regulations have been revised, such as committing adultery, which will not affect the glory and wealth of the officials themselves, so there has been no major change so far.

The law stipulates that if a man or a woman is not prepared for the six rites, he will have fornication, which will be regarded as "adultery". Even if they live together, it is regarded as "adultery".

and for the adulterers, eighty rods for each man; Those who live in adultery are put on display for three months.

After reading it, Gu Jinzhi pondered again.

Zhu Zhongjun stared at her.

The snow neck she leaned over was on the side of his face. He turned slightly. can kiss her, Zhu Zhongjun can't help but feel relaxed.

These days, he is getting more and more unbearable.

After hesitating, his lips pressed to Gu Jinzhi's neck.

The warm touch startled the defenseless Gu Jin, and his body subconsciously shrank back.

"You have to do this?" Gu Jinzhi asked him, "Have you exploded with hormones recently?" So hungry and thirsty......"

Zhu Zhongjun approached and said in a soft and ambiguous voice: "Because you are beautiful and delicious!" ”

Gu Jinzhi: ......

####

Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi studied for a long time.

Yu Shi Chen Zhu Zhongjun committed adultery, which is definitely a prelude to the plan.

Zhu Zhongjun is the youngest son of the prince and the queen mother. Even if there is no queen mother, the emperor is for the sake of royal face. will not let Zhu Zhongjun be flailed to the public for three months.

But as an emperor. and not openly flouting the law.

The decree was to help the emperor and control his subjects.

He doesn't care about himself, and whoever obeys the law in the future will be victimized when the time comes. Or imperial power.

In this matter. The emperor could not exonerate Zhu Zhongjun.

But it is impossible to show the public.

The emperor may follow precedent. Use other methods to show the crowd instead of the flail.

How do you do that?

This is what Zhu Zhongjun is most worried about.

Although the emperor didn't want Zhu Zhongjun to lose royal face, he didn't want Zhu Zhongjun to marry Gu Jinzhi.

And Gu Jinzhi was given marriage by the emperor.......

The emperor can make a fuss about this matter, which can be described as above board. I'm afraid that the Queen Mother won't be able to stop it.

“…… Ning Xi ruined my big thing. Zhu Zhongjun said, "If he didn't have an affair with Qianlan, I can flatly deny that he has anything to do with Qianlan." Now, only by letting Qianlan disappear can we block the mouths of Youyou! ”

Gu Jinzhi was silent.

"As soon as Qianlan died, although there was no proof of death, it also confirmed your weak heart. If someone is unwilling, they will simply sue you for murder, and you are afraid that you will even have to get into the title. "Gu Jin's way.

"Don't worry." Zhu Zhongjun said.

Rest assured, he can do it cleanly......

Gu Jinzhi smiled bitterly.

Zhu Zhongjun stared at her: "Unhappy? ”

"It's not something to be proud of, should you be happy?" Gu Jinzhi replied, "I...... No objection. ”

Oppose not oppose, this position.

To be happy or unhappy is a mood.

Many times, these two things contradict each other.

To survive, we have to struggle in this contradiction.

Zhu Zhongjun didn't know what the situation would become, he had to strike first.

He called Chen Dingwen, the leader of the guards who followed him to Beijing, to write a quick letter to Luzhou.

"Let's just say that the people in the capital said that I lived with Qianlan in adultery, and asked Lord Ning to send Qianlan to the capital to verify the identity of the criminal department. I clearly remember that I had no personal relationship with Qianlan to prove my innoc......ence," Zhu Zhongjun said to Chen Dingwen.

Chen Dingwen is Ning Xi's confidant.

The matter of Ning Xi and Qianlan, although it was done vaguely, there were clues exposed.

Chen Dingwen has been in the palace for so many years, but he has never seen it or heard of it.

His face changed dramatically.

He said yes.

Zhu Zhongjun nodded.

He handed over Qianlan's affairs to Ning Xi. In order to protect his reputation, Ning Xi would not hesitate to let Zhu Zhongjun carry the fault of murder.

It doesn't matter, Zhu Zhongjun is not afraid of murder, he is only afraid that Qianlan will live......

Ning Xi is always clever to himself.

He will get things done for Zhu Zhongjun. After Ning Xi knew, Qianlan would definitely die.

This matter does not need Zhu Zhongjun to do it himself.

He only needs to deal with what happens after Qianlan's death......

####

The emperor was very annoyed by the performance of the imperial history.

It is impossible for him to let Zhu Zhongjun flail the public.

It is a disgraceful punishment to be put on the flail, and it will take three months. When the time comes, the emperor's face, the queen mother's face, and Zhu Zhongjun's face will be lost.

The courtiers were smart.

They fight with the emperor regardless of life and death, some for fame, some for profit, but they will not be stupid, just for the emperor to lose face.

The king humiliates the ministers to death!

Courtiers can disagree with the emperor, but they will not disgrace the emperor.

Under normal circumstances, no one would sue Zhu Zhongjun for such a thing.

Someone behind this was instigated.

What is the purpose?

The king of the imperial history dedicated this person, and he was crazy by nature.

On the surface, he neither relied on the Tan family, nor the Jiang family, nor the Gu family.

He has impeached Gu Yantao seven or eight times, and Jiang Liang five or six times. Not to mention the Tan family.

He's a thorn.

The emperor is not sure, whether he is acting impartially this time, or whether he has a backer behind him.

As a monarch, there is no doubt about employing people, and the emperor has never been suspicious of the forces behind the ministers. He'll check it out.

He had checked Wang Xian many times.

Wang Xian is very clean and upright.

The Emperor frowned.

“…… His Majesty, Chang Shun of Kunning Palace is here. Liu Shu came in to pray.

Chang Shun was a eunuch in Kunning Palace.

The Emperor asked him to come in.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother heard that in the early days of this day, someone impeached and said that the King of Luyang committed adultery and lived in ......" Chang Shun knelt down. Said to the emperor. "The queen mother asked the slave maid to ask how the emperor and the cabinet dealt with the king of Luyang. got the news and sued her old man. ”

The emperor's heart was shaken.

Shortly after the end of the early dynasty, the mother who was in the deep palace. The contents of the early dynasty are already known.

For so many years. Even the early days of the Emperor's New Deal. The Queen Mother kept in mind that the inner palace was not allowed to interfere in politics, and never asked too much.

It turned out that she knew it all.

After so many years of trust, the emperor felt deeply guilty!

He shouldn't have thought about Gu Jinzhi. It makes my mother sad.

"Swing, I'm going to Kunning Palace!" The Emperor got up.

When the emperor's jade chariot arrived at Kunning Palace, the queen mother greeted her.

She forced a smile on her face.

When the attendants all retreated, the Queen Mother's smiling face turned cold.

"The mourning family heard that there are people in the court who can't get along with Zhongjun?" The Queen Mother asked the emperor in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, what does this mean!" ”

The Queen Mother suspected that it was instructed by the emperor.

The Emperor knew that such a misunderstanding would occur.

He hurriedly explained: "Queen Mother, where do I know what it means? ”

He still felt vague. Thinking of the trust and love his mother gave him, and for his forbearance, he said bluntly, "I don't know about this matter, I didn't instruct it!" ”

The Queen Mother's face loosened slightly.

"The mourning family didn't say that it was ordered by the emperor." The Queen Mother was relaxed and did not blindly accuse, but her expression was still tense, "Shoucheng commanded the envoy to give his daughter to Zhong Jun, which is his intention." Why do you make a fuss about prostitution? What a joke! Zhong Jun didn't rob the people's daughters. According to this, the courtiers are also ready to impeach the three princes? When Zhongjun and the third prince fall, is it the second prince and the fifth prince? Are those people trying to wipe out the emperor's brothers? ”

The emperor's third brother-in-law is now in a fiefdom in Hunan.

He seized the people's daughters and wives, and was even sued to Yingtianfu.

He is a blatant lawbreaker.

His crime, Yu Shi muttered a few words, and was finally suppressed by the cabinet.

Why did the cabinet approve the "Discussion of the Law" when he arrived at Zhongjun?

The emperor had insomnia last night, his brain was already sinking, and he was quarreled with by the ministers, and his brain was chaotic, as if he was drunk.

He was angry at the cabinet's arguments, where could he think clearly?

"This ......," the emperor was furious.

Do you want to bring down Zhong Jun first, and then bring down the emperor so that the eldest prince can succeed to the throne?

This is the conspiracy of the Tan family!

"The queen mother, Xia Wei, the first assistant of the cabinet, is a protégé of the Tan family, and he has always been towards the Tan family. Now, with the eldest prince as the crown prince, he relies on the Tan family even more. The Tan family knows that I am not close to them, and they are afraid that the position of the crown prince will be unstable, so they want to kill me directly? ”

The Queen Mother didn't expect the emperor to be so suspicious all of a sudden.

He was always suspicious of the Tan family.

The Queen Mother didn't want him to be so suspicious of the Tan family and the crown prince without evidence.

The emperor always suspected that the crown prince would spread the word sooner or later, and those courtiers did not dare to rely on the prince, the prince's position was unstable, and the government was still uneasy.

The Empress Dowager hoped that the emperor would cultivate an heir well, and also stabilize the situation and make the world peaceful.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly said: "Since the eldest prince has been appointed as the crown prince, what else is the Tan family tossing?" They are even more afraid of tossing and turning, the emperor is good, and the prince will be gone. Mourning the family, this matter is a bit strange, and there is another purpose behind it, isn't there still a queen who has not yet been established? ”

The Queen Mother wanted to say that it might be aimed at Zhong Jun.

If he said so, the emperor also wanted to embarrass Zhong Jun, what effect did the queen mother have if she made such a fire?

Moreover, the Queen Mother also felt that this time it was not for Zhong Jun to embarrass Zhong Jun.

Zhong Jun is a fool, why should the courtiers have trouble with him?

You can't be overly suspicious, but you have to guard against it.
