Chapter 402: Changed my mind

As soon as these words came out, the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion raised their heads and stood more and more upright. Their master has always been like this, either he doesn't open his mouth, and if he opens his mouth, he won't beat around the bush, let alone save face for anyone.

As the saying goes, it is said that the people do not fight with the officials, and a commoner dares to sue the prime minister of the dynasty, and only the "virtuous ministers" such as Wei Guogong, who claim to be the masters of the people, will take it seriously, and always say that "the state has the law of the country" or "the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people", which Son of Heaven in history has really committed the same crime with the common people?

The ministers on the other side of the Guogong Mansion either looked at each other, or shook their heads secretly, and they all pretended to be loyal and ostracized, as if they were innocent.

Emperor Tianhong was also silent, patted his knees with both hands, and swept both sides of the hall with his eyes nowhere to place.

Ji Heng said that Gu Chuyu is not Gu Zhan's biological son, but the son of a commoner in Xuanzhou, and his life experience is revealed on such occasions, which will make Gu Chuyu lose face, and he can rub the sharp spirit of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why is it that he has no face now?

Chu Zifeng immediately wilted when he heard this. How horizontal Chu Yu is, his whole family has learned it, but it was in Yun County, in front of a small county order, I didn't expect Chu Yu to dare to do this to Emperor Lao Tzu, is it under one person? This can only be above 10,000 people!

He turned his eyes to look at Wei Guogong and squeezed his eyebrows.

Wei Guogong caught a glimpse of Chu Zifeng's anxious expression, and saw that His Majesty was also dumbfounded by Gu Chuyu's words, and no one from the other ministers said anything, if he didn't come out, who else would dare to speak?

"What does the Prime Minister mean that even if Xiao is someone else's fiancΓ©e, the Lord will not return the person?" Wei Guogong asked.

"The lady of the true appearance is a person, not a thing, and there is no such thing as first come, first come, first come, and courtesy." Gu Chuyu's expression was unpleasant, and then said, "Whether the two are happy with each other, or if they marry and rob each other, the Xiao family is already a person of their true appearance, and no one can take a single hair from her." ”

Chu Zifeng gritted his teeth and squeezed out: "It's too much to deceive people!" ”

The hall was quiet, and even if he spoke quietly, he could easily be caught in his ears.

Gu Chuyu looked sideways, "What did you say?" ”

Chu Zifeng swallowed dryly twice, held his voice and said, "I didn't say anything." ”

A minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister loves his wife very much, and it is understandable that he can't accept that Xiao has another marriage contract, but before Xiao followed the Prime Minister, did Xiao confide in the Lord that she had been engaged to someone, if not, it is Xiao Shi deliberately deceiving." ”

"If you want to say it a few times, she only has a marriage contract with her own appearance, so she doesn't have a long memory, what kind of Guanglu doctor should she be!"

The minister was stunned, hurriedly lowered his waist and arched his hand, and said again and again: "Guilty of despicable duties...... Guilty of Despicable Duties ......"

The Duke of Wei Mansion only had one staff member to speak, and he almost lost his official position after saying a word. The others could only look at each other, not daring to open their mouths.

Wei Guogong glanced at the reckless staff, and he could only blame himself for not having long eyes and not knowing how to see the wind and steer. The Xiao family is already the top of Gu Chuyu's heart, and now he can go to Gu Chuyu, even if he reveals that he is not the son of the family, he doesn't care, but if he wants to cure the Xiao family's crimes, he will be hated.

The situation has reversed, and the momentum has begun to be controlled by Gu Chuyu, and now someone has pulled the Xiao family in, which is like adding fuel to the fire and angering the tiger, Wei Guogong feels more and more helpless.

"Your Majesty's family history has been known, I don't know if Your Majesty has any other doubts, the minister is good to answer together, if not, the minister still has a wife to accompany, and retire first."

After Gu Chuyu finished saluting, he turned around and left, but he was stopped by Wei Guogong after he didn't take two steps:

"The Prime Minister stayed, this person beat the drum and sounded the grievances all over the city, and the people of His Majesty's summoning him into the palace are already well known, if Your Majesty does not give a disposition, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Gu Chuyu's slightly cold gaze fell on Wei Guogong, and said lightly: "Why do you need Your Majesty to give you any treatment, Chu Zifeng was once the leader of the Jiangnan bandits, he colluded with Xia Guo and did a lot of evil, the Criminal Department will settle him well, you don't need to bother." ”

The ministers were in an uproar......

Chu Zifeng trembled all over, he was also afraid of being exposed by Chu Yu, but Wei Guogong comforted him before and said that Chu Yu had no evidence, as long as he refused to admit it, Chu Yu would not be able to cure his crime without evidence.

Wei Guogong pretended to be surprised: "There is such a thing? Yesterday, I heard that His Majesty wanted to summon this person, and the minister was worried that it was an assassin who had infiltrated, so he checked his details, he had no criminal record in the Criminal Department and the yamen, he was not a bandit leader, let alone a fugitive, and the Prime Minister would not be angry with him for making false accusations and fabricating a crime against him out of thin air, right? ”

"That's it, cousin, you don't know what the details of our family are? I'm a good citizen, not a bandit. ”

"Do you want to explain why the Criminal Department doesn't have his criminal record?" Gu Chuyu looked at Wei Guogong.

"The lower officials are willing to hear the details."

"For the sake of the clan, the prime minister planned to let him go, and he was not listed as a criminal of the imperial court, but now the prime minister has changed his mind, because the state has national laws." Gu Chuyu glanced at Wei Guogong, walked towards the outside of the hall, and casually ordered, "The criminal department is still in the book, do it." ”

"Commanded by humility."

Chu Zifeng was frightened, "This ...... This and this ......"

"Don't be impatient, if you are wronged, Your Majesty will make the decision for you." After the Wei State Public Security appeased Chu Zifeng, he looked at Emperor Tianhong again. His Majesty is no longer just patting his legs as helplessly, he is rubbing the corners of his forehead with his hands, as if he is burnt out.

But Wei Guogong knew that no matter how angry His Majesty was at this time, he would act as if nothing had happened in a few days, because Gu Chuyu was a capable minister who could keep the country stable for him and let him indulge in wine without distractions, if no one could replace Gu Chuyu, he would only endure it to the end.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mei Xiaoren was making tea and embroidering in the attic, waiting for Gu Chuyu to come back, no different from other female dependents who were looking forward to her husband's homecoming. She saw his figure appear in the courtyard downstairs, and her calm heart swept through with joy.

She put away the embroidered bamboo basket and lay on the railing, holding her chin with a silk handkerchief in her hand, waiting for him to approach.

Gu Chuyu walked downstairs and saw a handkerchief falling at his feet, he leaned over to pick it up and looked upstairs.

She smiled like a flower, pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry I didn't hold it." ”

Just as he walked through Jiangnan that year, he met her and said that he would do a little favor, and her smiling eyes were like autumn water.

Gu Chuyu glanced at her, stretched out his hands and quipped, "Why didn't the person fall?" ”

"You wait, I'll show you." She deserved to be serious, and sat down on the railing.

Gu Chuyu went upstairs, hugged her from behind, locked her hands around her waist, and let her sit steadily.

"What did Your Majesty say?"

"What can he say, putting on the shelf of the king of a country to join in the fun." Gu Chuyu lowered his head slightly, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and rubbed the tip of his nose against the side of her face, "Now Daning, your husband has the final say." ”
