Gu Mingjue listened to his son say the words of blame, and became angry: "Are you blaming me for not doing a good job as a father?" ”

"Father, at that time, if you didn't ignore your mother because of the person surnamed Liu, or even acquiesced in her dealing with my mother, and deliberately angered her, my mother would not be silent in front of your uncle now."

When it comes to intimacy, his mother is his uncle's relative.

If there was no mother as a bond, my uncle would not recognize my father as a sister-in-law at all.

Gu Nanshan talked about Gu Mingjue's pain, which made him very uncomfortable.

"It's all over, and besides, I've killed Liu Yiting with my own hands. Your mother too, she hasn't been angry for so long, and she's not a little girl, why is she still so ignorant. She can only be good if I am good, and besides, you are my son, and that is also her son, even if it is for you, you should not be silent. ”

began to shift the blame to his mother again.

Gu Nanshan looked down on his father's behavior from the bottom of his heart.

Unfortunately, the power of the family seems to be held by the father, but in fact, most of it is still in the hands of the grandfather.

He only likes the elders.

Although he has a concubine, he is not long.

If it weren't for the death of the eldest brother, my grandfather wouldn't have cared about him at all.

Gu Nanshan's hand in his sleeve was clenched, and his face looked out the window, and only Gu Mingjue's mother's voice was left in the car.

The carriage stopped at the side door of the Han Mansion, Gu Nanshan got out of the carriage, but did not go in, seeing the carriage walking away, Gu Nanshan turned around and entered the alley in front.

The carriage that Gu Mingjue was riding was inconspicuous, swaying all the way, and stopped on the side of the Confucian Mansion after a quarter of an hour, and Gu Mingjue got out of the carriage and immediately had a man with a knife on his left waist about forty leading Gu Mingjue into the Confucian Mansion.

Not long after entering the Confucian Mansion, Gu Mingjue's eyes were covered with a black cloth by this man.

"This, no, I'm absolutely loyal to Master Kong."

The man explained with a smile, and the movements in his hands did not stop: "This is all the rules, no matter who comes, it's like this!" ”

Gu Mingjue was very unhappy in his heart.

Who's blinded?

Think he's a bun from the countryside?

Isn't it because of his sudden overtures that Kong Chong still can't fully believe him.

Gu Mingjue's eyes were covered with a black cloth, so the next road was led by a man with a rope, this scene made Gu Mingjue feel that he was not coming to Confucius, but to the guillotine.

Gu Mingjue was so shocked by this thought that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"How long will it take?"

"Soon, Master Gu will endure it."

Gu Mingjue felt that he had walked for about a quarter of an hour before the black cloth on his eyes was removed, and his eyes suddenly came into contact with light, allowing Gu Mingjue to reflexively cover it with his hands.

"Master Gu, please take a seat."

After Gu Mingjue adapted to the light, he found that the place where he was now was not an ordinary room, but should be in a dark room.

Because he couldn't see the sun outside, it was pitch black in the room, and there was a candle fire in front of him.

"Master Kong, this ......"

Gu Mingjue pointed around the room and said, "There's no need to make this battle." ”

Kong Chong smiled and pushed the tea that had already been brewed in front of him to Gu Mingjue: "Lord Gu doesn't have to worry too much, there is no way to do this, there was an assassination at the city gate yesterday, and the official family was suspicious of me, I don't know if there is any eyeliner in the palace in this mansion, so I can only be careful." ”

I see.

Gu Mingjue felt better.

began to pat himself on the back: "There is an assassination in the city, and you can't blame the adult, after all, the adult is a privy envoy, and there are so many things to be busy with every day, how can you keep an eye on it all the time." ”

"It's still Lord Gu who pities me, and he doesn't want to think about it, if I didn't maintain the order of this capital, how could this capital be in an orderly situation now."

"Yes, yes, Master Kong has worked hard, and the official family blames you for this, which is too much."

The two of them were talking behind closed doors.

I know in my heart that it is impossible for what they say to be transmitted, so they are naturally not afraid to say the rights and wrongs of the officials.

"That Master Kong, I came to see you this time, I want my lord to say a few kind words for me in the court, this is not more than half of this year, and the official assessment and promotion at the end of the year ......"

"Eh, Master Gu, you also said it, there is still half a year, don't worry!"

How can you not be in a hurry.

Year after year, he has been in the position of the prefect of Jiangning Prefecture for seven or eight years.

Seeing that his fellow intellectuals, general judges, and professors under him have all been promoted, some are on an equal footing with him, and some have even been transferred to Kyoto to serve as Beijing officials.

He was still standing still.

He is already fifty-one, and he will not have the opportunity to be promoted, and he will be a prefect until he dies in this life.

"Master Kong, I will definitely not let you contribute in vain, if you have any orders, I can do it, and I will not shirk it."

Kong Chong looked at Gu Mingjue with a smile.

"Gu Governor, showing loyalty is not just a mouth, you have been an official for many years, you must know this truth."

Gu Mingjue thought about it again and again, and looked at Kong Chong: "Master Kong, if I can come up with something that makes people excited, can you guarantee to let me enter the Privy Council?" ”

Kong Chong listened to Gu Mingjue's tone firmly.

I was interested in what he said.

However, he didn't agree, but asked Gu Mingjue: "What is the relationship between Gu Ziyuan and you?" ”

"He's my nephew."

Kong Chong said: "If this is the case, then I can't guarantee that you can enter the Privy Council, originally the same family, the possibility of being an official in Beijing together is very small, and if you are still in the same Privy Council, I just have great power, and I can't do it." ”

"He's my nephew, yes, but it's not in the genealogy."

"Oh?"

Kong Chong is in trouble now, but when it comes to Gu Qingjue, I don't know why, I just want to know more about him.

Even if it wasn't him who broke into Yichun Yuan that night, as far as the master-apprentice relationship between him and Zeng Shengji was concerned, he was destined to stand on the opposite side in the future, and knowing his affairs might help him in the future.

"Tell me, why didn't you enter the family tree?"

How important is the genealogy, otherwise you will not be able to enter the ancestral grave after death and become a lonely ghost.

Gu Mingjue said: "This has to talk about my younger brother, for the sake of a woman of unknown origin, cut off relations with the family." ”

“…… Later, I also wanted to add his name to the family tree, but this child was stubborn, he didn't agree, he didn't even want to show his face, and the old people didn't see it, so he wouldn't add it like this. ”

Kong Chong: "You still don't know who Master Gu's mother is?" ”

Gu Mingjue choked.

An old fox is an old fox, and he can grasp the key point in just a few words.

Gu Qingjue's mother is Fan, and Fan's involvement in the treasure of the previous dynasty is of course not able to tell Kong Chong.

If he knew about it, he would not have come to seek his refuge, but to die.

"That woman seems to be my brother's sister, fatherless and motherless."
