Chapter 140: Reprimand
The irony in Gu Mingzhu's tone was full.
Wang Jian's face suddenly looked terrified: "The minister doesn't dare!" ”
She looked at the middle-aged man on the ground, and then said loudly: "Don't dare? I think you dare! Sure enough, if there is a father, there must be a son, are you going to use resignation as a threat to make me in a dilemma? ”
Wang Jian was only half-kowtowed, but when he heard this question, his head was already buried in the ground, and his attitude was extremely correct: "Weichen has no such intention, but the children are ignorant and have made a big mistake, I feel very ashamed, I really have no shame to act in front of the Son of Heaven anymore, but it depends on the mother's fate!" ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at him for a while, and smiled: "Lord Wang is an important minister of the imperial court, the people of the Ming Kingdom need you, I shouldn't be too harsh on the Wang family, but the matter has come to this point, you, as the head of the six departments, have not disciplined your children properly, causing this disaster, and you will not escape the blame!" ”
Gu Mingzhu paused in his voice and continued: "As the saying goes, the son does not teach, the father's fault, I read that you have worked hard and made great achievements, so you will be punished for kneeling outside the garden for an hour." ”
Wang Jian didn't dare to object: "Thank you for your kindness!" ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "In September, take people out." ”
September nodded, walked up to Wang Jian, glanced at Wang Xiuyuan and Wang Jingru on the ground, and said in a steady voice: "Lord Wang, please." ”
Wang Jian got up, retreated as he said, followed September, and really knelt at the gate of the garden.
Wang Xiuyuan and Wang Jingru had been untied, and seeing that Wang Jian's waist was straight and kneeling straight at the door, he couldn't help but plop and kneel in front of Wang Jian: "Father...... It's me who is bad! Punish your father! ”
Wang Jingru was already frightened, and knelt down with Wang Xiuyuan, not knowing what to do, so he called his father in a daze.
Wang Jian looked at Wang Xiuyuan with a serious expression, and after a while, he spoke: "Xiuyuan, you are not young, nineteen years old, you should also know the severity, today the Wang family's face is lost, it doesn't matter if the face is lost, fortunately, you two brothers and sisters have been saved." ”
Wang Xiuyuan's eyes were red, and he looked at his father with some dazedness, and he didn't dare to believe Wang Jian's words: "Father? Does she dare to kill us tonight? ”
Wang Jian sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but be disappointed in him, but after all, this was his own son, so he had to say patiently: "Why doesn't she dare?" ”
Wang Jingru was incredulous, and said with difficulty: "But Daddy, you are the head of the six departments, she is a helpless queen, how dare she offend you like this?" ”
Wang Jian shook his head and said, "You are still young, and I don't blame you for not knowing some things, but she is the only one, not to be underestimated!" ”
Both of them looked at him in a daze.
Wang Jian knows that there is a lot at stake, and others may not be too jealous of this young queen. But he knew very well that the predecessor of the establishment of the Ming Kingdom, the twelve states in the southeast, had all been under her command.
Wang Jian spoke earnestly, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "If she hadn't disappeared a year ago, I'm afraid that the person on the table now is only her." ”
Wang Xiuyuan was shocked: "...... Miscellaneous...... Is it? ”
Only Wang Jingru didn't understand what was going on, and opened a pair of crying eyes: "Daddy? ”
Wang Jian sighed: "Not to mention that she was the former lord of the twelve states in the southeast, just based on the king's attitude towards her now, if she doesn't accept the harem and doesn't marry a wife or concubine, have you ever heard that the emperor still has the courage to sit after entering the palace?" She dares! Not only did she dare, but she also dared to take people in front of the king. ”
Wang Jian looked at the courtyard in the distance, the lights were bright, and he vaguely saw a green figure, someone retreated from the palace, Wang Jian recognized the princess of the Ming Kingdom: "Gu Yan is not something that the Wang family can provoke, she is a princess, she is the queen's sister, you provoke her, it is equivalent to arguing with the queen, today this matter is in the past, and there must be no recurrence of incidents in the future!" ”
"Let's go back." Wang Jian said.
Wang Xiuyuan, who was outside the garden, refused to leave, and had to kneel with Wang Jian, but Wang Jingru was so crying that he couldn't breathe and was sent away by the palace guards.
Wang Xiuyuan knew that this matter would spread all over Ruizhou City tomorrow, and the Wang family would become the laughing stock of others after dinner, but things have happened to this point, and it is better to become a laughing stock than to lose your life!
He secretly swore in his heart that he would never act so rashly in the future.
In the garden, Zhou Yan excused himself and September to leave, and there were only two people left in the hall.
After Gu Mingzhu punished the Wang family like a thousand catties, the chopsticks in his hand did not move.
Xu Jue saw that her face was calm, smiled, and said, "It's all disposed of, why are you still angry?" ”
Gu Mingzhu simply put down the chopsticks and snorted: "Is there one?" ”
Xu Jue smiled when he heard this tone: "No? ”
Gu Mingzhu got up, glanced at him, and said, "Are you still eating?" ”
Xu Jue said: "Before I came back, I ate something in the study to pad my stomach. ”
Gu Mingzhu said aloud outside: "Come on, withdraw the food." ”
Xu Jue didn't know why she was angry, she thought for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, Gu Mingzhu had already gone into the inner room to take a bath.
He looked at the table of food and barely moved, and thoughtfully, got up and went to the side room.
When Gu Mingzhu came out, Xu Jue had already washed and stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside.
Gu Mingzhu wore long black hair, ignored the soup cup on the table, and was about to go to bed, Xu Jue by the window heard the movement, closed the window and turned back, seeing Gu Mingzhu's plan, and said: "I asked Chun'er to make a bowl of soup that you love to eat on weekdays, and you didn't even use chopsticks for dinner just now." ”
Gu Mingzhu turned his back to the person, and his tone was a little tough: "Don't eat." ”
Xu Jue was silent for a moment, sat down next to the bed, looked at the person who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and said with a smile: "Really sleepy? I heard you slept for more than an hour in the afternoon. ”
Gu Mingzhu turned sideways and ignored his words.
Xu Jue thought for a while and said, "Still angry about the Wang family's affairs?" ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Sort of." ”
Xu Jue turned the person over and looked into Gu Mingzhu's eyes.
She is actually not angry at this level, at most she has some emotions, but what is the specific reason, he is really hard to guess, Xu Jue is glad that he doesn't need to guess now, and asked directly: "Then can you tell me, you have already punished the Wang family, you are still not happy?" ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at him, was quiet for a long time, took the lead in defeating in this confrontation, slapped his hand away, but did not look away, and said, "Tired." ”
Xu Jue was stunned: "Tired? ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Intrigue with these people, tired!" Tired, that's not what I want. ”
Xu Jue's eyes shrank: "Is it uncomfortable again today?" ”
Gu Mingzhu shook his head and looked at Xu Jue speechlessly.
Xu Jue slowly stretched out her hand, touched her eyebrows, and her mind spun quickly: "Will I take you out to play tomorrow?" ”
Gu Mingzhu's tone was a little lighter: "Are you so busy......"
Xu Jue covered Gu Mingzhu's eyes, and rubbed her forehead gently with her thumb: "Actually, it's almost the same, there are still a few days." ”
Gu Mingzhu's mouth opened and closed, and her emotions unconsciously became light: "Really? ”
Xu Jue chuckled and said, "I don't lie to you." ”
