"Your Majesty, it's the minister's fault, please punish the emperor!" The attitude of the Marquis of Ding Guo was very sincere.

But in front of the old emperor, no matter how sincere his attitude is, he can't match his words.

"The title is my mind for your hard work, reward for your meritorious deeds, and give you the corresponding status and power, if you treat it as a child's play, I can give it to you, or I can take it back."

"Panic!" The ministers in the court knelt on the ground in unison.

I can't help but complain in my heart about the marquis of Dingguo, I have nothing to do, and I have even tired them!

The old emperor looked at everyone condescendingly, and after a long time, he slowly spoke, "Get up." ”

The Marquis of Dingguo lay on the ground.

"The Marquis of Dingguo has done his best for the dynasty over the years, especially General Gu, who has been guarding the border for many years, and the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion has done for the dynasty over the years, and I have seen it in my eyes. Since the title was given to the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion, it was naturally up to the Dingguo Marquis to make his own decisions. It's just that Dingguo Hou is so repeated, and I am also very embarrassed. ”

The Marquis of Dingguo lay on the ground as if he were dead.

In order to be able to fully express his meaning in the court today, he did not hesitate to take the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and the price he paid was also painful.

But as long as he thought of the Feng family's face after the matter was completed, Dingguohou thought that everything was worth it.

Naturally, the old emperor would not really take back the title of Marquis of Dingguo.

The title was given by Emperor Gaozu, and the Marquis of Dingguo did not collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and did not do anything unfavorable to the dynasty and the royal family, so the title will continue forever, but what they can do depends on themselves.

The old emperor just showed an attitude, one, he is the attitude of the king.

There was an eerie silence in the courtroom again.

"That's it, I said, this is a family matter of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, since you have made a decision, I am naturally an adult beauty, it's just ......" The old emperor changed his words, "This time, I don't care about your merits in previous years and General Gu's face, but I don't want to have a next time." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The old emperor looked down, "Take advantage of today, I also made it clear to you, your family affairs, I hope you can solve them by yourself, don't make trouble in the court, in this way, you have no face, and I am also upset." You are all pillars of the dynasty, and if you don't even handle your family affairs well, I will doubt your abilities. ”

The crowd was afraid to speak.

The old emperor took the opportunity to knock everyone up.

I don't know what he was thinking, the old emperor didn't pursue the capriciousness of the Dingguo Marquis, and the holy decree was quickly sent to the Dingguo Marquis's mansion.

As the old emperor himself said, this is a family affair of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, how to make an idea, it is the matter of the Dingguo Marquis, he is just making a will and announcing the world.

Therefore, since the Marquis of Dingguo wants to pass on the title to Gu Jintai, the old emperor has nothing to say.

The people in these circles, who have done and not acted, have little influence on him, as long as they do not make unforgivable mistakes, these families must be maintained.

As for how long these families can last, it depends on how long his imperial power can last, and how the descendants of these families toss.

Feng and others were placed under house arrest.

The current Dingguo Marquis naturally does not have such a big "right", but he has a son who is dedicated to defending him, Gu Jintai.

After the incident last night, Dingguo Hou immediately put the Feng family and Gu Jinxuan under house arrest.

Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Gu Jinxuan or not, he is the ultimate beneficiary, and the Marquis of Dingguo does not allow his son to ride on his head.

Regardless of whether Gu Jinxuan was innocent and implicated, or whether he was to blame, Dingguohou was really angry this time.

The people in his hands are all held in the hands of the Feng family, but Gu Jintai still has people!

Usually, this son, who doesn't look obvious and knows how to walk birds all day long, suddenly grew to a height that he didn't even know, and Dingguohou was very pleased.

At the very least, he was left with a son who could inherit the title and was dedicated to defending him.

At this time, the Marquis of Dingguo could no longer care whether Gu Jintai was sincere or ambitious.

He only has this one son left, and the title can only be given to him!

Feng didn't expect that the Marquis of Dingguo finally gave the title to the third child, and he was slightly relieved and secretly rejoiced.

Whether it is the second or the third, they are all her sons, as long as they fall to Gu Jinzhen, it is good.

But Gu Jinxuan didn't think so.

In terms of order, he is the boss, and in terms of status, he is the son-in-law!

Now, the third child has snatched the title quietly, what is his previous complacency?

What is his promise to his people?

Feng sat quietly in the house, watching his eldest son move around the room.

"Brother Xuan, you sit down first."

"Sit down, how do I sit down?" Gu Jinxuan asked irritably.

"Your father has asked for a decree, and the emperor's decree is about to arrive, what else can we do?"

"yes, we can't do anything, so just sit back and wait?"

"Brother Xuan, what are you talking about?" Feng frowned, "You and Brother Tai are brothers, what is the difference between him inheriting the title and you inheriting the title?" ”

"In my mother's opinion, there is naturally no difference, whether it is me or the third child, it is your son, you are still the wife of the Hou Mansion, enjoying the resources of the Hou Mansion. But the son is different, the son can't be a marquis, he is just an ordinary person in the circle, he has no fame, and he only has a false position in the court. ”

"How can it be that serious?"

"It's just that the mother thinks it's not serious, after all, the mother is more than a son."

"Brother Xuan'er ......"

"Speaking of which, I also want to congratulate the third brother!"

Gu Jinxuan's yin and yang weird tone successfully angered the Feng family.

She looked at her son coldly, "Brother Xuan, you and Brother Tai are both my sons, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, and I treat the two of you equally, without any bias." On the contrary, because you are the eldest son and you are talented, your father and I are still a little partial to you. Your brother has been proud of you everywhere over the years, and when did your brother not let you in anything related to interests? ”

"Only this time not!"

It's not the only thing related to the succession of the title!

What is the other than the title?

In Gu Jinxuan's eyes, Gu Jintai's forbearance everywhere before was all for the title.

Compared to the title, those previous interests are nothing!

"Brother Xuan!" Feng looked at Gu Jinxuan in a daze with a sad heart, "I'm not partial to you?" If I don't show favoritism to you, I won't admit it! ”

Gu Jinxuan's eyes flashed slightly, but his eyes were still full of unwillingness, "Yes, I made people do it, but why did I do it?" It's not because he wants to give the title to Gu Jinzhen! Why was that wild seed cheaper? I did this not only for myself, but also for my mother, for my third brother, and for the Hou Mansion! ”

Gu Jin said it righteously.

Feng smiled sarcastically.

The son who was raised by himself, he knows best.

When the decree was announced, all the people in the Dingguo Mansion had to be present.

In front of outsiders, the Feng family is very cooperative with the Marquis of Dingguo.

"Congratulations to the third brother." Gu Jinxuan looked at Gu Jintai gloomily.

"Second brother, we are brothers, you say that, the younger brother feels ashamed."

"You're ashamed." Gu Jinxuan stared at Gu Jintai intently, as if he wanted to poke a hole in him.

"Second Brother ......"

"You are my own brother, but you are behind my back!"

Facing Gu Jinxuan, who did not enter the oil and salt, Gu Jintai simply shut up.

Dingguo Hou looked at his son gloomily, he had already said what he should have said, and now, things were developing according to his expectations, and he had nothing to say.

Back in the North Courtyard, the smile on Gu Jintai's face stopped abruptly.

"Third Master ......" Jasmine, who had been quietly waiting in the yard, immediately greeted her.

It's a pity that Gu Jintai lost his former gentleness and kicked Jasmine away directly.

Jasmine frowned painfully, but she didn't dare to make a sound, she hurriedly got up from the ground and followed Gu Jintai into the house.

The maid brought hot tea.

Jasmine immediately took the tea and handed it to Gu Jintai.

Gu Jintai didn't drink it.

Jasmine became more and more apprehensive in her heart, "Third Master ......"

"If this matter can't be resolved, I'll be in trouble."

"Third master, the slave and maid really looked for it, but I didn't find it."

"Didn't find it?" Gu Jintai looked at Jasmine funny, "Then tell me, why is it okay for Qiao Jinwen to use a good prescription, but something happened when it came to us?" ”

"The Third Master ......"

Gu Jintai threw a cold look at him, and the grievance on Jasmine's face immediately froze on her face.

"Childe has already given an ultimatum, what do you think, what should I do?" Gu Jintai asked gently.

"Third master, is there something wrong with Fang Zi?" Jasmine asked timidly.

Naturally, there is a problem with the formula.

Who knew that Qiao Jinwen would come to such a hand!

They looked at it and experimented countless times, but they didn't find anything wrong.

So, should Qiao Jinwen be said to be smart, or should she be said to be cunning?

"Over there, I can still press it for a few days, but if things get bigger......"

It is still a trivial matter to mistake the matter of the son, and the people of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion found out that the "Splendid Building" was managed by him for the son, exposing him and the son, and the things behind will be quite troublesome.

"Third master, the slave has already found all the places to look, you say, could it be that Qiao Jinwen didn't write it down? After all, such an important thing, write it down in black and white, in case it falls into the hands of outsiders......"

"In this case, the only people who know this recipe are the rest of the Qiao family."

"Third master, the people in Qiao's family room will not sell this recipe, now, the second and fourth rooms are gone, and there are only three rooms......"

Gu Jintai's fingers tapped on the table slowly, and the abrupt rhythm seemed to knock on Jasmine's heart, and her heart twitched one after another.

"Let people go to Jincheng, the sooner it is solved, the better."

No matter what the Feng family's thoughts were, Gu Jinxuan was unwilling.

But his father was very guarded against him, and now the Dingguo Hou Mansion is Gu Jintai's, and the entire Hou Mansion is his person, he and the Feng family are under house arrest, and they can't do anything.

But this did not prevent him from exchanging news with the outside world.

Under the candlelight, Gu Jinxuan looked at the letter paper on the table, and a dim light flashed in his eyes.

For a long time, he exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, as if he had made a decision.
