Regarding the provocation of the old man in the fourth room, Gu Tingye really didn't pay attention to it.

He didn't reply, only looked at them coldly a few times, and then sat down on the main seat himself.

Then he said directly, "Uncles and clan elders, I invite you to come here today because I want to ask you to make a decision together about the four and fifth rooms."

Seeing that Gu Tingye ignored him, he also said that he would invite the elders of the clan to decide his own affairs.

The old man of the fourth room immediately said angrily: "I am also your fourth uncle, you dare to treat me like this, do you still have a little dignity and humility!"

But in the eyes of outsiders, this is not a problem.

After all, the filthy things in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, who have never heard of it here, everyone knows how much the people in the fourth and fifth rooms used to crowd out Gu Tingye.

It's just that this matter was originally a family affair of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, and Gu Tingye at that time was not valued in the family because of his biological mother Bai, so naturally no one came to ask about it.

But now the situation is different, Gu Tingye has become the lord of the Gu family and inherited the title of Marquis of Ningyuan.

So now Gu Tingye wants to plan revenge, which is actually normal, and everyone can understand it.

It was precisely for this reason that the elders of the clan sitting in the main hall did not want to care more about it after listening to the words of the people in the fourth room, although they felt that this was inappropriate.

Originally, the four-room lord wanted to take this opportunity to fan people up, so that these clan elders thought that Gu Tingye was arrogant and domineering, and did not take the elders seriously.

As long as they join forces to exert pressure, then Gu Tingye may be able to gently put down today's matter under pressure.

As a result, there was silence in the ancestral hall, which disappointed the people in the fourth and fifth rooms.

At this time, Gu Tingye took the initiative to break the calm and said, "What the fourth uncle said, you and the fifth uncle are my elders, how dare I be rude.

It's just that Ting Bing and Ting Di have indeed done a big mistake, and I am afraid that the entire Gu family will be implicated.

I know that I can't ignore this news, but I'm worried that both of you are my elders, and I have had some misunderstandings with my two uncles in the past.

If it is handled by me, it may cause criticism, so I thought of inviting the clan elders and letting them make a decision, and I think the two uncles can rest assured."

Hearing this, the old man of the fourth room was about to refute immediately, but before the words could be spoken, he only heard a clan elder ask, "You just said that they did something wrong and would implicate the entire Gu family, what exactly does this mean, can there be evidence."

Obviously, this person is a little worried, today Gu Tingye is deliberately planting false accusations, wanting to rectify the people in the fourth and fifth rooms.

Of course, if that's the case, it's actually nothing, anyway, the unlucky luck of the fourth and fifth rooms has nothing to do with them.

But I'm afraid that Gu Tingye is used to using this trick, and maybe one day this trick will be used on himself, so he naturally has to ask clearly.

Gu Tingye naturally has no problem with this, anyway, the evidence has already been obtained, and sooner or later he will have to show them.

So Gu Tingye instructed Shi Shi to hand over a series of letters found from the fourth and fifth rooms to the elders.

Seeing this amount, Gu Tingbing and Gu Tingdi were stunned at that time, because these letters were not in one place, and they were deliberately stored separately.

So even though the two of them knew that they had been exposed, they didn't expect it to be so thorough.

However, the two of them still had luck in their hearts, and Gu Tingbing directly defended: "Gu Tingye, you have always been at odds with us in the fourth and fifth rooms, I thought it was a bit of a controversy.

But I didn't expect you to go out of your way to find someone to forge a letter to frame us, which is too despicable."

Seeing that these two people were still struggling, Gu Tingye ordered the stone to bring up the people who were controlling outside the house.

After these people came up, Gu Tingbing and Gu Tingdi didn't know what to say at all.

Facing the curious eyes of others, Gu Tingye explained, "These people are all helping the two of them to contact the generals in the army.

These two of them are the sons of the family who grew up with Ting Bing and Ting Di, and they are the most trusted people of the two of them, and I brought them here today for your convenience

The clan elders inquired lest anyone think that I was deliberately seeking revenge for personal gain."

In fact, seeing the situation in the field, everyone can also tell who is telling the truth and who is lying.

However, for the sake of insurance, the clan elders still chose two people to come out and questioned these people.

Others looked at the letters separately and waited until they had understood everything.

The situation in the field has changed a little, and at this time, within the Gu family, there is actually no unanimous opinion, and there are many people who have the same ideas as Gu Tingbing and Gu Tingdi.

So the people on both sides began to quarrel about this.

Seeing this situation, the people in the fourth and fifth rooms were still happy, and felt that the matter seemed to have taken a turn for the better.

Just when there was a lot of noise in the ancestral hall, Gu Tingye coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention.

"My Gu family is favored by the emperor, and my family even has the Danshu Iron Coupon for the founding of the country, so I naturally have to be loyal to the official family.

Now that the official family has not yet appointed the crown prince, it must naturally have his concerns.

Ting Bing and Ting Di made friends with the prince privately, and also used the name of my Gu family to collude with military generals outside.

If this thing really came to pass, the two of them would naturally make a meritorious contribution in front of others.

But if it doesn't work, then it will be my Gu family who will suffer.

My Gu family has been bloodbathing in the battlefield for several generations to earn this full wealth, is that why they are so risky?"

Hearing Gu Tingye's words, the elders of the Gu family became silent, and even the few who originally supported Gu Tingdi and Gu Tingbing were silent.

After all, the risk of this matter is indeed very high, and the thought of taking the risk yourself, but helping others make wedding dresses, not many people can accept it.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Gu Tingbing suddenly played a long role and said, "When you joined the palace change, weren't you also gambling with the Gu family, why didn't you say that you had to take care of these at that time.

And the choice of Zhao Zongquan was not chosen randomly, when there are two princes under the name of today's son, among which the little prince is so young that he can't even recognize the words.

On the contrary, Zhao Zongquan was upright and prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was known as a virtuous person in the court, and there was the silent support of Prime Minister Han behind him.

Even if it is for the sake of the stability of the court situation, the official family will definitely choose Zhao Zongquan, and then my Gu family will be a meritorious man from the dragon."

After hearing this, Gu Tingye couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid that it is not my Gu family that will benefit from this matter, but the two of you."

Regarding Gu Tingye's words, the old man in the fourth room immediately retorted: "What you said, Ting Bing and Ting Di are both members of the Gu family, which everyone knows.

When they go to do things, others naturally know that this is the meaning of the Gu family, and if this matter is successful, then the most beneficial thing will definitely be you, the lord of the Gu family."

This kind of brazen words really made Gu Tingye laugh.

couldn't help but say, "This reversal of black and white, the fourth uncle is really handy.

According to that, you are still for me and the Gu family, do I have to thank you?"

Then, without waiting for them to reply, he directly said to the two uncles with the highest seniority among the clan elders: "This matter is not known to the two uncles, you two are highly respected, so this matter will be handed over to you."

Seeing that Gu Tingye took the initiative to hand over the matter to the clan elder, the people in the fourth and fifth rooms were still very happy, they thought that the clan elder would not punish him too harshly.

But the reality is that they think too much, and they don't want to think about it, and it will never be allowed for them to pull the entire family into the pit without consultation among the clans.

If it is not severely punished this time, then in the future, anyone will dare to do this kind of thing that gambles on the fate of the family, and then it will not be far from the destruction of the Gu family.

Moreover, their identities in the clan are not as good as the current Gu Tingye, since Gu Tingye opened his mouth in public this time, the clan elders have to give Gu Tingye some face.

In addition, at this time, Gu Tingye took out another document, which was the family separation document written by Gu Tingye's grandparents for the three rooms of the big house, the fourth room, and the fifth room, as well as a few rooms

Book.

It contains a detailed record of the real estate, residences, and fields of several families, all of which are recorded in the book.

Seeing this, the clan elders obviously understood what Gu Tingye meant, this is completely unwilling to live with the fourth and fifth rooms.

So after some deliberation, the punishment decision for the fourth and fifth rooms in the clan came out.

I saw a clan elder announce, "The fourth and fifth rooms have made such a big mistake, and they should have been dealt with harshly and expelled from the family tree.

But Nian Zai didn't cause any too bad consequences, so he dealt with it lightly.

I only ask the people in the fourth and fifth rooms to go back to their hometown in Xiangyang and repent in the ancestral hall for ten years under the care of the clansmen."

Hearing this, the people in the fourth and fifth rooms were completely paralyzed on the ground, and it was obviously difficult to accept it for a while.

As for resisting, the people in the fourth and fifth rooms didn't have that courage, because they knew that everything they had now came from the identity of the Gu family.

If they lose this identity, then they will really be worthless, and it is estimated that they will not even be able to enter Zhao Zongquan's door, let alone speak on Zhao Zongquan's side.

Seeing that they were so resigned to their fate, Gu Tingye was quite disappointed, he didn't expect this good show to end so quickly.

After that, everyone slowly dispersed from the ancestral hall, and the people in the fourth and fifth rooms also packed up their things under the supervision of the clansmen and set foot on the road to Xiangyang.

Although the Gu family did not explain the real reason to the outside world, why the fourth and fifth rooms left Beijing, they made up a reason at random.

But Zhao Zongquan still got the news here, Zhao Zongquan understood that the cause of this incident must be on himself, which would make Gu Tingye so aggressive, and he suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.

Especially after Li Hao entered the palace in a high-profile manner, this made him a little worried, thinking that it was possible that Li Hao had leaned towards Queen Cao.

I found Han Qi to discuss and see if there were any changes in the court.

After listening to Zhao Zongquan's concerns, Han Qi said, "I don't think that's the case, Ouyang Xiu has been very quiet during this time, and he hasn't done anything special.

Moreover, Li Hao and Ouyang Xiu have not had much contact recently, and they don't want to take any measures.

And the situation in the palace, Bi Zhongyou is also watching, if there is any change, there will definitely be news.

Since there is no situation now, it proves that Li Hao should not have taken refuge in Empress Cao, otherwise it would not be so quiet."

Zhao Zongquan also felt that what Han Qi said was reasonable, so he replied, "What you said is also right, but if this is the case, then what is the purpose of Gu Tingye's actions."

Seeing that Zhao Zongquan was meditating here, it happened that Han Qi also wanted to know the reason, so he proposed, "Since the prince has questions, it is better to take the initiative to go to Li Hao and ask.

I remember that Ce Ying Gongzi didn't know Li Hao well, and it's a pity that he broke off contact in the middle, so I might as well let him go and walk around this time."

After listening to Han Qi's proposal, Zhao Zongquan said, "Is this really useful, Li Hao may not tell us the truth."

Han Qi replied: "Anyway, there is no other way for the time being, just go and ask first, whether he is telling the truth or a lie, there are traces to follow."

Zhao Zongquan thought about it, so he sent someone to the polo field by Jinming Pond to find Zhao Ceying to return home.

Because of Zhao Zhen's will, the third league kicked off once under the auspices of Yang Wenyuan.

This time, the general rules are the same as last time, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, his family scroll can come to participate.

And because this league also has the purpose of helping Zhao Zhen pray for blessings, it has also raised a level in rewards.

At the same time, because of Zhao Zhen's physical reasons, many people think that this may be the last one.

After all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, who knows what the next emperor will think, and whether he is willing to hold this competition.

Therefore, many people regard this session as the last one, and many people who consciously fail to pass the imperial examination regard this as the best stepping stone to becoming an official.

although

However, the imperial court had a system of shadow seals, but generally the official positions of shadow seals were generally very small, far inferior to the official positions that were rewarded after victory.

[In view of the general environment,

In this case, there are many people participating in this league.

In order to win over more officials, Zhao Ceying simply formed a team to participate this time.

After that, he spent all day in the polo field and made friends with a group of eunuchs, not to mention that it really had some effect.

When the people found Zhao Ceying, he was chatting with the son of the Marquis of Dingyuan.

Seeing that the subordinates in the house suddenly came, Zhao Ceying knew that something was happening, so he excused himself and left with someone.

Then Zhao Ceying walked to a place where there was no one, and the subordinates followed, and told Zhao Zongquan's instructions.

To be honest, Zhao Ceying was reluctant to see Li Hao again.

It's just that at this time, it doesn't matter if you want to or not, as long as you can help Zhao Zongquan, you have to do it.

So Zhao Ceying asked his subordinates to go back and tell Zhao Zongquan that he would immediately go back to Beijing to find Li Hao.

Then he explained a few words to his players, then hurriedly changed his clothes and returned to the capital.

When I arrived at Li Hao's mansion, it happened that there was something wrong with the Salt and Iron Division, and the time was delayed.

So Li Jian accompanied Zhang Guifen to receive him, of course, Li Jian was just a decoration, and the specific things were arranged by Zhang Guifen.

But obviously Zhao Ceying didn't have time to care about these, he just wanted to wait for Li Hao to come back and ask clearly.

Under this mentality, it will inevitably affect his behavior, and Zhang Guifen will find out.

So Zhang Guifen left under the pretext of having something, and when she went to the door of the mansion, she prepared to communicate with Li Hao as soon as possible, so that he could understand the situation as soon as possible.

Originally, this interjected in the middle, and the job of enlivening the atmosphere was Zhang Guifen to do it again, so after Zhang Guifen left, there was silence between the two.

In this embarrassing atmosphere, Zhao Ceying couldn't sit still at first, and then he wanted to put a set of words out of Li Jian's mouth.
