Early the next morning, I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Beijing.

Gu Chuyu was summoned by Emperor Tianhong to enter the palace for an audience, and as soon as he walked out of the mansion, a fast horse galloped over and stopped not far away.

The official dismounted and ran, kneeling down and presenting a booklet: "Prime Minister." ”

When Xingyun handed it over to Gu Chuyu, Gu Chuyu opened his eyes, his originally slightly frosty face softened a little, he boarded the carriage with the booklet, and went to the university scholar's mansion to pick up Wei Shuying, who was summoned, and entered the palace together.

After Wei Shuying got into the carriage, she yawned again and again, and turned her eyes to look at Gu Chuyu, and saw that Xiao Yu'er didn't look like she had slept peacefully all night.

He casually asked, "How, did you send someone to find it?" ”

"What?"

"Meow." Wei Shuying finished learning the cat meow and smiled.

"The county government sent a letter saying that many places in western Beijing had collapsed, and asked Xiao Xiao to go out of the city to deal with it, she went to Xiyuejian by the way, and my father left her to live there for a few days."

Wei Shuying nodded, "I see, so Xiao Yu'er, whether she wants Ye Zhi to die or not, she remembers that she is your lady who has never been through the door, even if she is angry with you to deal with business, she will not forget to care about your father by the way." Sigh again, "Just listen to your father, let her live there for a few days, the capital has been so chaotic recently......"

Gu Chuyu glanced at Wei Shuying, Wei Shuying paused in the middle of his words, and then explained: "Ji Heng only mobilized the people to meet His Majesty yesterday, and today His Majesty summoned you and me into the palace, although I can't conclude what Your Majesty is thinking, but I can guess that it must be related to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, once the events of more than 20 years ago are revealed, it will be difficult for the entire Shangjing City to live in peace." ”

"Have you put out your own fire?" Gu Chuyu asked.

Wei Shuying was silent for a while, and said calmly: "Actually, Xiaozhen is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, we have been married until now, and there have been a lot of stumbles, the more she is playful, the more unwilling I am, until I really want to cut it in two, I found that I am reluctant to her, and she is reluctant to me." He smiled indifferently and continued, "I pestered her a few days ago and apologized to her, I know she will change her mind, and it will be soon......"

Wei Shuying's tone sank, as if he was far less happy than when his wish was about to be granted.

"Then I'll ...... well"

The word "get along" was not said by Gu Chuyu, Wei Shuying raised his head and said, "But I can't hurt her." He said seriously, and said, "I didn't go yesterday, and as for whether I will go today, it depends on what Your Majesty says." ”

Wei Shuying and Gu Chuyu arrived at Emperor Tianhong's bedroom and found that there were more than just two of them.

Ji Heng and King Yu only met the saint yesterday, and they are still here today.

When Wei Shuying looked at the two of them, he had a polite smile on his face.

Gu Chuyu, as always, didn't look at anyone, walked to the Danbi and saluted, "See Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Tianhong sat on the dragon chair and slowly spoke: "Gu Qing is exempt, I have a decision to tell you when I call you today." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I have decided to retry the case of Ye Huai's collaboration with the enemy."

Gu Chuyu said calmly: "Your Majesty, this is a case from more than 20 years ago, the person involved is dead, the ministers who participated in this case resigned from the office, and the death of the deceased, how to try it?" ”

Wei Guogong hurriedly said: "Prime Minister don't need to worry, the lower official is still there, the ins and outs of this case, the lower official still remembers it clearly." ”

"Then I want to ask, how can Wei Guogong remember a case that has nothing to do with him until now and remember it clearly? What is the intention of being so reluctant to forget? ”

"Naturally, I am looking forward to one day clearing up the grievances of General Ye." Ji Heng said calmly.

Gu Chuyu asked: "You didn't wash the case when it was tried back then, and you waited until more than 20 years later, when Ye Huai's bones were gone, what are you waiting for?" ”

"Wei Guogong is waiting for an opportunity to speak." Jiang Rong glanced at Gu Chuyu and said lightly.

"What's the difference between now and then?"

The Duke of Wei gave up his hand to Emperor Tianhong, and said unhurriedly: "The difference is that the minister's words were unsubstantiated back then, but now the minister has obtained evidence that can prove that General Ye's crime of collaborating with the enemy was framed!" ”

Emperor Tianhong looked at Gu Chuyu and said: "Gu Qing, although I don't often ask about the government, but I know that since the first day of the first lunar month, there have been rumors everywhere that Ye Huai was framed, and then the voices of the people gradually became smaller, and there was no trouble in the city, so I didn't say anything, but if the unjust case is really true, I can't treat it as if I don't know, after all, finding out the truth is the best way to calm down the people's grievances." ”

Wei Shuying said: "Your Majesty, it's really inappropriate to come to turn over the old case at this time, take 10,000 steps back and say, if it is really an unjust case, then even if Ye Huai is ordinary and can convince the public, but the cause of the matter is that the court has made the wrong case, is this to calm down the people's grievances, or to make the people more dissatisfied?" ”

Jiang Rong interjected: "Father, the Duke of Wei has said that there is conclusive evidence to confirm Ye Huai's innocence, and the ministers don't understand why Gu Xiang and the Wei scholars are obstructing here in every way. ”

"Your Highness doesn't know that General Ye's case was presided over by the Governor of Ningdong back then, and the Governor was the later Prime Minister Gu Lao, and General Ye was imprisoned from the border and returned to Shangjing...... is also an old prime minister. Wei Guogong also said, "If this case is really an unjust case, it will damage the prestige of the old prime minister, and it is reasonable for the prime minister to want to protect his father's face and prevent the ministers from overturning the case." ”

"Gu Qing, Ye Huai has fought for Daning all his life, and his achievements are impressive, if he really died in vain, I should give him justice, don't let the history books leave a pen, saying that I am an emperor who makes the heroes chill." Emperor Tianhong stroked his beard and thought for a while, and said, "That's it, I promised you, I just want to find out the truth, as for whether the people involved in this case have been guilty or not, I will not pursue it, the old prime minister has resigned for many years, and I don't want to spare him quietly." ”

Wei Guogong arched his hand, "Your Majesty, the minister's proposal to retry this case is not to get along with Prime Minister Gu, I hope Prime Minister Don't worry about it." ”

The corners of Gu Chuyu's lips raised, "Wei Guogong has already said this, if this is the same as if he obstructs it again, I am afraid that there will be rumors that my Gu family is a thief." Whether it is to overturn the case or have another purpose, since His Majesty has promised to retry it, the prime minister nodded his head. ”

Wei Guogong waved his hand: "The Prime Minister is wise, and he has thanked the Lord for the Ye family." ”

"Gu Qing, this case was tried by the old prime minister in the past, and now if the case is to be overturned, the prime minister's government should avoid suspicion, and in addition, the old ministers who know this case well and know Ye Huai should not participate, so as not to preconceive according to grievances, I think that this case will be handed over to the future generations to try."

Gu Chuyu asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty has a favorite candidate?" ”

"He has been diligent and hardworking recently, and he has learned some skills from Wei Guogong and other courtiers, he is my only prince, I have high hopes for him, and I want to take this opportunity to let him experience and experience, what does Gu Qing think?"
