() The Royal Palace.

There were countless folds on the table, and the emperor sat in the study and reviewed the folds without stopping.

However, when his brush just fell on the fold, he accidentally got more ink on it, and dripped on the fold, staining the fold.

I didn't put down the pen for a long time, and I put down the fold with a light sigh.

The chief eunuch saw the emperor's appearance and hurriedly came over to give tea: "Your Majesty is tired?" Want to go back to the couch for a break? ”

The emperor shook his head and looked at the sky outside: "They should come over too, right?"

"I'm coming, but don't worry, it's a big deal to let them wait outside."

The emperor paused, and tapped his fingers twice on the table: "You have followed me since you were a child, and you have seen a lot of things, why don't you tell me if I don't know something?"

The big eunuch smiled: "The whole world belongs to Your Majesty, how can there be something unknown to Your Majesty?" I'm afraid that Your Majesty already has the answer in his heart. ”

Hearing this, the emperor immediately laughed: "It is worthy of being the great eunuch next to me, he is really very cautious in what he says and does, and you just say it when I ask you, what's the matter, I am afraid that I will treat you with a big crime and take your life?"

For this kind of words, the great eunuch was as kind as a stream, and knelt directly on the ground: "It is precisely because I have been by His Majesty's side since I was a child that I know how to be proportionate, and I dare not talk nonsense."

The Emperor glanced at him with a little meaning, and then closed the recital in front of him.

"Let's go to the main hall, it's time to come."

"Wow."

The big eunuch stood up, shook off the dust in his hand, cleared his throat and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, set up the hall!"

One after another sounded in the palace, and everyone carried him to the main hall in a sedan chair.

There were already a few people in the main hall, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be Gu Yuantang and Gu Zongtang standing on the hall with their heads bowed.

After a glance, the emperor was sent to the dragon chair, dressed in a yellow robe, sitting on it with great majesty, just one glance is intimidating!

Gu Yuantang and Gu Zongtang both saluted: "See my father."

"Let's be flat."

"Thank you, Father!"

When the two of them got up, the emperor said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but the emperor has lost some weight."

Gu Yuantang shook his head and said, "Thinking of the suffering of the people, I really can't sleep at night, and I am heartbroken!"

Gu Zongtang narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and the corners of his lips raised an arc in disdain.

Remembering the sufferings of the people?

I'm afraid it's thinking of the suffering of the girl in the flower building, right? I really want them to be sleepless at night, and it hurts.

However, such vulgar words naturally couldn't be said in front of the emperor, and pointed to Gu Ziyuan in the main hall: "This person is the one who disregards the lives of the people, and I ask my father to decide."

The emperor then looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that although the person who was tied up with five flowers had his head down, his waist was straight.

"You are the county magistrate of Chenji County?"

Gu Ziyuan knelt on the ground without being humble or arrogant: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is Gu Ziyuan, the county commander of Chenji County."

"I heard that you disregarded the lives of others and killed innocent people in the government without being convicted, but is there such a thing?"

Before Gu Ziyuan could speak, Gu Yuantang had already spoken: "This matter is that the grass people of Chenji County came to complain overnight at the expense of a long distance, so naturally they can't do it."

The emperor nodded and asked, "You were also a champion of civil and military affairs before, and you are familiar with the books of sages, why did you know the law and break the law to do such a thing?"

Gu Ziyuan was prostrate on the ground, and his voice did not change in the slightest: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged!"

Gu Yuantang snorted coldly: "You are careless of human life, why should you be wronged?"

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, that person did die in the official mansion, but it was because he did a lot of evil and aroused the anger of the people that he attracted resentment and was stabbed, and I hope Your Majesty will see it."

"Evildoer? Is there any evidence? ”

Hearing this, Gu Yuantang's heart "chuckled".

The arrest of Gu Ziyuan was to convict him, and now the emperor actually asked if there was any evidence, didn't he have to overturn the case for him?

He immediately reprimanded: "No matter what, killing innocents indiscriminately without conviction is really the work of thugs, as a county magistrate, you know the law and break the law and want to shirk responsibility, father, according to what his son, such a rebellious person should be beheaded to show the public, in order to warn you, father!"

As he spoke, he knelt down, as if he was worried about the country and the people.

Gu Ziyuan's eyes narrowed when he looked like this.

Seeing Gu Yuantang like this, Gu Zongtang also lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "Erchen also agrees with His Royal Highness the Prince's opinion, if such people who know the law and break the law are not removed, I am afraid that other people will have a crack to drill, and it can be said that there will be endless troubles!"

Before anyone could explain that the two of them wanted Gu Ziyuan's life, he shook his head when he heard it, this was the first time he found that his life was so valuable.

Gu Ziyuan said without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty, it is not that Weichen kills innocents indiscriminately, but that the person who was killed urged people to make amends, and the one who harmed him."

The woman with the child has two corpses, and such a mad person can be described as a black sheep, and he has to be removed! ”

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Is this true?"

Gu Yuantang sneered: "Father Emperor Hugh can hear his slander, if it is really a black sheep, why didn't Lord Gu convict this person and send him to prison?" Instead, kill him directly? Isn't this a matter of carelessness for human life or what? Does Master Gu still want to quibble? ”

One by one, "I have never been convicted and imprisoned", I refused to give in at all when I grasped this point, and finally Gu Ziyuan couldn't help but look up at Gu Yuantang: "The prince raised the micro-minister, this law has long been decreed, if there is really such a great traitor, but he can correct the law on the spot, how can he say that he cares about people's lives?"

He said sonorously, looking at Gu Yuantang's sharp eyes.

Gu Yuantang just gritted his teeth when he saw him like this, but the emperor who had been sitting on the throne saw him look up, but his pupils shrank suddenly!

"Brother Huang?"

He muttered, indistinctly, and looked directly at Gu Ziyuan, who was kneeling, and his heart trembled.

Like, it's too similar to his royal brother!

Thinking of this, the emperor was a little sad.

Back then, he and his royal brother read and wrote together, went out to play and talk and laugh together, if it was placed in an ordinary family, it must be a pair of good brothers.

But the ruthless emperor family since ancient times, if it weren't for his imperial brother, that is, the king of Chu back then, who became the emperor one step ahead of him, how could he turn against him for the throne?

Everyone was stunned when they saw such an emperor, and the big eunuch immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty, what do you command?"

The Emperor suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head.

When the king of Chu was defeated, he spared his family's lives with a soft heart and sent them to the fiefdom, but he heard that they were assassinated, saying that the family did not leave a single living mouth, how could they appear here?

Having said that, he still couldn't help but look at the face that was similar to his imperial brother Jiufen, and the hand holding the dragon chair was tightly gripped.

"Your Majesty?"

The big eunuch called out to the side again, and the emperor took a deep breath: "The law is true, why don't you tell me how this person is so evil?"

Gu Ziyuan nodded: "This person burned, killed, plundered, robbed the people's daughters, not to mention forced to collect compensation, this time he even harmed people's lives, unkindness, injustice, disloyalty, and filial piety, and brutalized the people, isn't this person a big traitor?"

"How do you make me believe you?"

Gu Ziyuan: "The people of Chenji County can testify for the ministers, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!"
