The next day, Emperor Yongli received an excerpt from Wang Ge Lao's crying at the same time, as well as Gu Mingjue's description of yesterday's events as an outsider.
After quickly sweeping their folds, Emperor Yongli immediately blackened his face.
He was furious and scolded Gu Mingyun on the spot.
This is the first time that Emperor Yongli has spoken to Gu Mingyun with such an indifferent attitude, and it is the first time that he has been angry at Gu Mingyun in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
Such a huge contrast made Gu Mingyu, who had been favored by Emperor Yongli since he was a child, unable to accept it for a while, and was directly stunned at the court meeting.
As the saying goes, love is deep, responsibility is keen.
How much Emperor Yongli liked Gu Mingyu before, how much hope he had for him, and how angry and disappointed he was now, so he reprimanded him so completely without saving face.
Everyone knew what he was thinking, especially the princes, whose lowered eyes were full of envy.
And Gu Mingyu, who had never been wronged, couldn't understand, he only felt that his father reprimanded him fiercely, and his eyes were full of grievances and dissatisfaction.
After scolding Gu Mingyu with his head and face, Emperor Yongli's anger was almost vented.
He glanced at Gu Mingyun who was kneeling not far away and was depressed, and then said: "Since Mingyun and Miss Wang have a deep relationship, and they can't hold back and do something wrong for a while, then I will fulfill them!"
As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar.
Emperor Yongli really favored Gu Mingyun too much!
When he said this, he was obviously trying to relieve Gu Mingyun, intending to turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.
is obviously shameless, adultery with someone before marriage, but Emperor Yongli said that Gu Mingyu and Wang Lin fell in love with each other, but they didn't hold it when their love was strong......
Today's matter, if any prince is replaced, he will not be good, and he will be scolded for having a blue nose and swollen face, and he will be punished by the way!
It can be seen that in the mind of Emperor Yongli, the weight of this Gu Mingyu is heavy.
They lamented again and again, but the courtiers were trying to figure out which prince's camp they had thrown into.
Emperor Yongli sat upright, slightly narrowed his eyes and squinted at the civil and military officials below, and after they were quiet for a while, he spoke leisurely: "Can the ministers object?"
After that, he looked at everyone with a smile.
Seeing this, that group of people couldn't figure out the thoughts of Emperor Yongli, so they hurriedly laughed and said: "The minister has no objection, but please Your Majesty!"
Seeing their interest, Emperor Yongli was very satisfied, and then said with a straight expression: "Although Mingyu established a mansion and started a family early, he only had one concubine Wei, and he did not establish a concubine. This time, he and Miss Wang are in love, so I will point Miss Wang to him as a concubine! โ
When he spoke, Emperor Yongli kept his eyes on Gu Mingyun and Wang Ge Lao, obviously, what he said was mainly to Gu Mingyun and Wang Ge Lao.
Because there was already a guess in his heart, no one expressed shock when Emperor Yongli finished speaking.
Under the circumstance that everyone was looking at it wantonly, Gu Mingyun and Wang Ge Lao gritted their teeth and kowtowed to thank him, and then quietly got up under the promise of Emperor Yongli.
After that, after Emperor Yongli lectured Gu Mingyu a few more words, this matter was overturned.
The princes and other dissatisfied ministers, in order not to touch the Yongli Emperor's scales, all wisely chose to remain silent.
After settling this matter, the court meeting continued, and Emperor Yongli retired from the court after dealing with many things one after another.
Before leaving, Changde summoned Gu Mingyun and Gu Mingjue to the imperial study for questioning.
When he received the words, Gu Mingjue was very calm, but Gu Mingjun was a little weak.
What he did yesterday can be described as extremely humiliating, rubbing the face of the royal family on the ground.
Just above the court, there are some things that are inconvenient to say, and when he goes to the imperial study, he is afraid that he will be greeted by a violent storm!
After all, in the heart of his father, the dignity of the emperor and the decency of the royal family are very important.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have suppressed Gu Roujia's plot to kill Yunyang last time!
The impact of public opinion brought by his actions yesterday is much more serious than Gu Roujia's, Gu Roujia was punished for guarding the imperial mausoleum, and his punishment will only be heavier than this!
Thinking about it, Gu Mingjue was very desperate, but he was with his sworn enemy Gu Mingjue, no matter how angry he was, he could only swallow this loss!
As the three of them got closer and closer to the imperial study, Gu Mingyun's heart became more and more worried.
After repeated cross-examination, he failed to ask something practical from Changde, who had a gloomy face!
Thinking of Changde's past hospitality, he unconsciously retreated.
No matter what he thinks, he has to grit his teeth and endure it, after all, Emperor Yongli is someone they can't afford to offend!
When he arrived outside the door of the imperial study, Gu Mingjue still looked relaxed at first sight, but Gu Mingjue was full of fear.
He was really scared, now was the time when the competition for the storage position was fierce, and he couldn't be punished outside the capital.
Otherwise, when he returns, this ever-changing court will become a new appearance, and he will lose the possibility of competing for the throne with several other brothers!
This can't be done, this throne, he is determined to win!
Chang Decai didn't care about the looks of the two of them, he only calmly ordered the little chamberlain to serve the two noble masters, and then went in person to report to Emperor Yongli.
Soon, he came out with a calm face again.
"Your Majesty has sent the two masters in!" He pinched his throat.
Gu Mingjue and Gu Mingyu hurriedly received the order, and then entered the imperial study under the leadership of Changde.
After Changde brought them into the imperial study, he bowed and retreated, and the other attendants quickly evacuated.
After seeing Emperor Yongli sitting at the top of the head, Gu Mingjue and Gu Mingyun kowtowed in unison and said, "Erchen knocks to see the emperor!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! โ
Hearing this, Emperor Yongli, who had a gloomy face and hung down the first batch of notes, finally stopped his movements.
"Mingjue, you get up first!" He said gently.
Gu Mingjue immediately took the order and stood up.
"Throne!" Emperor Yongli pointed to the chair that had been prepared in the room.
Gu Mingjue bowed his head and hurriedly walked over and sat down according to his words.
As soon as he sat down, Emperor Yongli asked, "What happened yesterday?" Why do all the guests run to the purple glass house? โ
After asking, he continued to read the excerpt carefully.
Gu Mingjue's pupils shrank, his father was suspicious of him!
But also, what happened yesterday is too absurd and coincidental.
As long as you are a smart person, you will notice the cattiness!
A sensitive and suspicious person like his father would suspect that he would be the most reasonable to come from him!
After doing a good job in self-construction, Gu Mingjue said without hurrying: "Yesterday, according to the custom, Erchen held a dinner in the mansion to entertain guests, so that they could share the joy of promotion with Erchen!"
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled a little embarrassedly before he continued: "Because I was too happy in my heart, all the people who congratulated and drank with Erchen responded one by one!" In this way, Erchen inevitably ate a few more glasses of wine. When the imperial aunt of Shunyi came to congratulate, the retainers were already flushed and dizzy, and they couldn't bear it at all after drinking that glass of wine! โ
"Therefore, under the arrangement of the Shunyi Imperial Aunt, the retainer was able to get out and rest in the room closest to the dinner party with the support of the servants!"
"Oh!" Emperor Yongli's pen paused, and then continued to hang his head.
Seeing this, Gu Mingjue continued: "After the sons left the table, I don't know who took the lead, but the female guests also learned from the male guests, and they went to Li'er to drink!" Although it is a mellow fruit wine, it is also intoxicating to drink too much, and Li'er does not drink well, so she soon gets drunk! โ
Her girls were afraid that she would ruin the royal family's face by doing something indecent when she was drunk, so they dared to entrust the banquet to the Shunyi Imperial Aunt and the Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law! Then I helped Li'er to rest and sober up! โ
As soon as the words fell, Emperor Yongli's eyes trembled, and then he said casually: "Why did all the guests go to Ziliju later?"
Gu Mingjue calmly looked at Emperor Yongli, accepted his scrutiny, and said word by word: "After all the guests were full of wine and food, the Shunyi Imperial Aunt proposed to dissolve the banquet and let the guests go home, unexpectedly, the eighth brother and sister suddenly proposed to go to Ziliju with everyone to bid farewell to Li'er!"
"Why didn't I say goodbye to you?" Emperor Yongli asked directly.
"Because Erchen went to the wing room to rest at that time, the guests were not sure where Erchen was, but Li'er was the maid who said to help her go back to the room to rest, and everyone thought she was in Ziliju." Gu Mingjue said frankly.
What he said was true, and there was no reason why his father didn't believe him.
Sure enough, after examining it for a long time, most of the doubts in Emperor Yongli's eyes disappeared, but she still frowned and asked, "Since she said that she wanted to go back to the room, why is she not in Ziliju?"
Although this point is not directly stated, many people still think of it.
Gu Mingjue had already guessed that Emperor Yongli's last question was this, so as soon as Emperor Yongli's words fell, he said the words he had prepared a long time ago unhurriedly.
When Erchen returned to the wing room drunk, the servant specially ordered the kitchen to cook sobering soup. As soon as Li'er came out of the garden, she ran into the girl who delivered the soup, and she was making a lot of noise, so Qingyue took the sobering soup for her to drink, and then helped her to the room where the son was resting! โ
"Hmm!" Emperor Yongli replied in a nasal voice, and then thought for a while, and then said, "You sit down!"
Hearing this, Gu Mingjue, who had always been nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Emperor Yongli didn't say it explicitly, judging from his solemn face, he believed Gu Mingjue's words.
After approving a few more folds, he still had no intention of stopping, which couldn't help but make Gu Mingyu, who had been kneeling since he entered the door, cry bitterly.
He was born noble, he was liked by Emperor Yongli and the Queen Mother since he was a child, and when he grew so big, he almost never knelt for so long.
Today, not only did his knees hurt, but his waist was also very sore.
His forehead was already covered with cold sweat, but he didn't dare to speak at all, for fear of disturbing Emperor Yongli's criticism and facing an even more violent Emperor Yongli!
Finally, when Gu Mingyu's eyes turned black and he was about to faint, Emperor Yongli spoke.
