Chapter 945 Government Examination

The eldest prince is dead.

Regardless of the objections of his courtiers, the Emperor of Chu sent an army of Fuhu troops to drown the eldest prince, and did not allow him to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. He also removed the eldest prince's name from the jade certificate, completely treating it as if he did not have a son.

The eldest princes two sons who had just learned to walk also died, leaving not a single male in the eldest princes mansion. However, one daughter survived and was taken into the palace to be raised.

And this is the result of the Queen Mother's request.

The Emperor of Chu went on a killing spree in the capital because of the eldest prince's affairs, causing people to panic. In those days, everyone walked around the execution place and did not dare to go near the execution place.

The princes, courtiers, aristocratic families, nobles, and even the concubines were all chilled and frightened because of this incident.

The cruelty of Emperor Chu this time was beyond their imagination. He even killed his own son and grandson.

As a close minister of the emperor, Qi Yi was deeply disappointed by the emperor's move. He knelt outside the palace gate for two days, trying to beg Emperor Chu to spare the eldest prince's life, but to no avail.

Finally, he fainted and was carried back by servants at home.

After waking up, I felt heartbroken when I saw the tearful and worried face of my wife. I forced myself to sit up, hugged her and said, "Ashu, it's my fault for making you worry."

Mrs. Qi said: "Sir, don't say anything. You take good care of us. The children and I will be fine."

This sentence again.

Over the years, because of Emperor Chu's violent temper, he killed many people and confiscated many noble houses. He knelt down and begged not once or twice. Every time he fainted and came back, although Ashu was worried and sad, she still Say it's okay and tell him not to worry about his family.

But she is his wife, the person he likes in his heart, how can he let her worry about him year after year?

Qi Yi finally relaxed and promised: "Ah Shu, I will start arranging the transfer to the capital, and I will not be impulsive again in the future."

It's not young and young. He has a family and a room. Even if he wants to be a pure minister, he wants to apply the land for the liver and brain, but the master can't do it, he can't pull the whole family to bury.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qi cried with joy. My husband finally figured it out, but she shook her head and said, "My husband, you don't have to be like this. I know your ambitions. You don't have to worry about your family. You can realize your ambitions."

Mrs. Chen gave him a roll of her eyes and said, "Oh, you are still shy with me. You are not young anymore. The Xu family is pretty good and they have girls of the right age. If you can marry her, you will be lucky."

He felt that saying this was too low-key, so he added: "It's also Miss Xu's blessing. You will be an official in the future, and your status is no worse than Miss Xu's!"

Gu Dagui really wanted to kick Mrs. Chen, so he hurriedly came over and said, "Stop talking, go into the house quickly and let Brother Xing and the others have a good rest."

Just tell me, didn't you see Brother Xing's head almost buried in the ground?

Mr. Chen was scolded, so she had no choice but to suppress her words and let Gu Dexing go to the house to rest.

But she was not convinced and scolded Gu Dagui: "Are you my uncle? How old is Brother Xing? His mother is gone, and he doesn't know the situation of the girls in each family. If I, the aunt, don't help him, who will? get together?"

After Gu Yumei's death, Mrs. Chen felt that she had not taken good care of their brothers and sisters. She was afraid that her sister-in-law would ask her to settle the accounts after her death, so she was very dedicated to Gu Dexing's affairs. , the officials and the girls all asked around several times, and all those who were suitable for Gu Dexing were remembered.

Gu Dagui cursed his mother in his heart, why couldn't he win against this woman every time?

However, he was very happy to see that Chen was treating Gu Dexing well. His eldest brother is just a baby, so he needs to be treated well and nothing can go wrong.

After Gu Dexing and the others arrived, they all had a good meal that night. They were full of meat and vegetables. They also ordered some famous dishes from several restaurants in Fucheng for Gu Dexing and the others to eat.

There was a sandwich snack among them. After Gu Jinli looked at it, he suddenly asked Gu Jinan: "Brother, when you were taking the county examination, did you break up the food given to you by the Yamen and look at it?"

Gu Jinan nodded: "I've broken it open, but many people don't know how to break it into pieces. The broken things are not easy to eat."

Gu Qingliang said: "I didn't break it. After receiving it, I packed it up and took it out to eat when I was hungry."

He took the county exam just to practice his skills. He didn't even think about passing the exam, so he took it easy and didn't check his food carefully.

After hearing this, Gu Jinli reminded: "Food is the best way to carry things. When you enter the examination room, you must break the food given to you by the government on the spot to make sure there is nothing inside."

He added: "This is related to your whole life's future and even your life. You would rather eat something broken than just ignore it."

After hearing this, Gu Jinan and others nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Xiaoyu, we've written it down."

And Gu Jinli's reminder really saved their lives.
