Chapter 401: Under One Man, Ten Thousand Above
In the early morning, it was pouring rain outside the window, and in the room, Mei Xiaoren tied Chu Yu's hair and put on a crown, and changed into court clothes.
If the matter can be in front of His Majesty, there must be someone behind it, and she doesn't have to think about it to know that there must be a share of Wei Guogong.
Chu Yu's anecdotes can always arouse the great curiosity of the royal family, even if they are going to join in the fun and watch jokes, they will ask His Majesty to intervene.
Mei Xiaoren asked while sorting out Chu Yu's clothes, "I didn't expect who that person was?" β
"Which one?"
She gave him a blank look, and the words "ask knowingly" were written in her eyes.
Gu Chuyu shook his head.
"I don't believe it, the last time Xiuyu happened, you guessed Wu Xian's head so quickly, this time you didn't have any idea at all?"
He stroked her long hair, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Xiao Xiao, you might as well guess and see which of us guesses first." β
"That person is either on the side of Wei Guogong, or a minister who has a disagreement with you and hides it deeply, he must be an important minister if he can turn the clouds and rain like this, it can be seen that it is not enough to guess, and there must be evidence to deal with him."
While she was tying his waist seal, Gu Chuyu took advantage of the situation to take her into his arms and said slowly: "Don't worry, there is only one Chu Zifeng, and he can't make any waves." β
"I'm not worried, if anyone can bring you down by calculation, the sun will have to hit the west." Mei Xiaoren let go of Gu Chuyu, patted the wrinkled place of his clothes, looked at him with a smile and said, "Go ahead." β
Mei Xiaoren sent Gu Chuyu out of the house, saying that he was not worried, but when he saw the car driving away, he couldn't let go of it more or less.
Who knows what Chu Zifeng will say in front of His Majesty, and most of the ministers are people who listen to the wind and rain, whether the remarks about taking his wife are true or not, it is not good for Chu Yu, and Wei Guogong will definitely not give up this opportunity to make a big fuss.
The palace hall is full of officials.
When did Chu Zifeng see such a solemn and majestic scene, he was escorted in by the guards, and when he saw that both sides of the hall were full of people in official uniforms, his expression became timid, and his waist was slightly bent.
After all, he had been a bandit, and he hated and feared the government, not to mention that the official standing here was much more powerful than the magistrate.
From back to front, the officials wore green clothes and red clothes...... When he saw Wei Guogong in brown clothes, he felt some confidence in his heart.
He looked at Wei Guogong's clothes and knew that this imperial relative was more majestic than an official, and he would definitely be able to support him.
Standing in front of Wei Guogong was a man of his age, wearing a court dress embroidered with a golden python, as if he was more powerful than Lord Guogong.
There are people outside the world, and the same age has different lives...... Chu Zifeng was sighing secretly in his heart, and when he saw that the man turned around and glared at him angrily, his face was not very friendly, so he nodded and bowed, never daring to offend people in front of the emperor.
All the way in, he only looked to the left, and when he reached the middle, he looked to the right, and the first thing that caught his eye was a purple-clothed figure, because the person was standing in the front right row first.
Chu Zifeng shuddered in his heart, he knew that Chu Yu was the prime minister, and he thought that the prime minister was just a foreign minister, and he couldn't compare to the emperor's relatives, but now seeing Chu Yu's domineering posture, he remembered a sentence, called: One person is below ten thousand people......
Chu Zifeng was admittedly scared in his heart, terrible, and after a while, he felt unwilling.
They have the same ancestor and the same grandfather, why can Chu Yu be the prime minister, and he has to be the bandit? The one who returned his grandmother is a powerless bandit!
Xia Guo couldn't hold it anymore, La's hatred fell on him, not to mention that he was destined to die in the world, and now even Xiao Mei'er counted the blood debt of the two countries on his head, disgusted with him, and ran away with Chu Yu, why?
God is unfair, he has to ask for an explanation for himself, and the prime minister can rob his daughter-in-law?
Besides, Chu Yu had long wanted to kill him, he didn't need to be "his own family" at all, it was better to follow Wei Guogong safely, he had the handle of Lord Guogong, and he couldn't lose his life.
Chu Zifeng followed the rules he had learned before, took his robe and knelt down and kowtowed, "The grass people knock to see Your Majesty." β
Emperor Tianhong sat on the throne and said solemnly: "Who are you?" β
"The grass people's surname is Chu Zifeng, and his ancestral home is Yunxian County, Xuanzhou."
Shangshu of the Criminal Department reprimanded sideways: "A foolish person from Xuanzhou dares to be presumptuous in Shangjing!" β
"Whoever said that those who came from Xuanzhou are all foolish people, and you are not afraid of offending your prime minister when you say this." Chu Zifeng looked up at Gu Chuyu and asked with a hippie smile, "Yes, cousin?" β
Gu Chuyu just glanced back at Chu Zifeng, and there was no displeasure, let alone anger.
"Bold!" The Shangshu of the Criminal Department scolded again.
Chu Zifeng was not only not afraid, but also pretended to be aggrieved: "Brother, how can you help me say something, your subordinates scolded us Xuanzhou people for being stupid people, aren't you also from Xuanzhou?" β
Emperor Tianhong then asked, "Gu Qing, do you know this person?" β
Gu Chuyu only said two words indifferently, "I've seen".
Emperor Tianhong asked Chu Zifeng again: "I heard that you beat the drum in the Shangjing Mansion to complain about your grievances and sue Gu Xiang for robbing your fiancΓ©e, is there such a thing?" β
"Back to Your Majesty, there is such a thing, Xiao Mei'er...... No, Xiao and Caomin's childhood sweetheart, she married Caomin at the age of sixteen, and then she returned to her hometown and delayed for two years......"
Without waiting for Chu Zifeng to finish speaking, Jiang Rong pointed directly at Chu Zifeng and interrupted him angrily: "Shut up, where did Diao Min come from to make a mistake here, come here, pull it out and cut it!" β
He raised his sleeves and waved, and the two guards were about to obey the order, but Wei Guogong hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him: "Your Highness is angry, there is no wind and no waves, and let him finish his words." β
"What else to say, any cat or dog dares to say that there is a marriage contract with the villain, and the king also said that the king has a marriage contract with the villain, how about it?" Jiang Rong glanced at Gu Chuyu as he spoke.
Chu Zifeng knelt on the ground, shrunk his neck back and said, "The grass people are telling the truth. β
"Ei'er, don't mess around, the Xiao family has nothing to do with you, what are you anxious about." Tianhong Emperor said.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this person is not an ordinary person, did Your Majesty hear him call the Prime Minister a cousin just now?" Wei Guogong bowed his hand to Gu Chuyu again and said, "May I ask my lord, what does he mean by this?" β
"The ancestral home of this prime minister is Xuanzhou, and his biological father's surname is Chu, and he is of the same clan as this person." Gu Chuyu answered unabashedly, and then looked at Wei Guogong, his eyes were as light as the moon, "What's the matter, Lord Guogong is interested in his family background, and he thinks it's strange?" β
"Don't get me wrong, my lord, Xia Guan didn't mean that." Wei Guogong also waved his hands, and then said, "Then what this person said about taking his wife, I hope that my lord can also solve your majesty's doubts." β
"The Prime Minister agreed to His Majesty's summoning of this person, just to satisfy the curiosity of His Majesty and you, so that you don't have to bother to speculate, does Lord Guogong think that this Prime Minister is going to court with him and listen to His Majesty administer justice?"
Wei Guogong immediately said: "Your Excellency, the country has national laws, if Mrs. Ling has a marriage contract with this person......
Gu Chuyu interrupted Wei Guogong's words, and said unhurriedly: "Not to mention that my wife and him do not have a marriage contract, even if there is, should the prime minister give up his wife?" The corners of his lips rose, and he said, "The law of the country, what kind of law of the country can control the head of the prime minister?" β
