Chapter 250： Severe punishment (two more)

Chapter 250 Severe punishment (two more)

"..." The patriarch was going crazy, cold sweat dripped from his forehead like rain, and his gray temples were already soaked.

His second-grandson was gifted from an early age and studied at the well-known Wansong Academy at the age of twelve. Several gentlemen in the academy all said that the second grandson could give it a try after another two years.

They pointed at his second-grandson to take the imperial examination road in this room, so that they could shine on the lintel in the future.

But the emperor's sentence "Three generations are not allowed to take the imperial examination" blocked his grandson's way to the imperial examination, and he was already old, still waiting for his great-grandson to read a trick? !

The more he thought about it, the more anxious the patriarch became, and he couldn't care about others, so he solemnly kowtowed to the emperor, making a "dong" sound.

He said everything he knew at once: "Your Majesty, Gu Ce is indeed a direct descendant. The old Hou Ye once had a direct wife Yuan with the Da Qi family. Thirty years ago, the Da Qi family passed away due to illness. , Gu Xuanxu married Yuan Pei's younger sister, Xiao Qi, who is now Mrs. Tai."

"Xiao Qi's family continued to marry when the old marquis guarded Xizhou, because Gu Ce was still young at that time, and Xiao Qi was his own aunt, so it was difficult for his stepmother to do anything, and the old marquis also hid it because he was afraid that the mother and son would have animosity. "

"Gu Ce is a direct descendant. When he was three years old, the old marquis asked him to seal the prince. The imperial decree that Emperor Taizu ordered to seal the prince is now enshrined in the Gu family ancestral hall."

"The Emperor Mingjian, the Gu family did not use the succubus as the heir."

The patriarch said something like walking on thin ice, and then he bent down and kowtowed heavily again, until his forehead was red and swollen, and he was both embarrassed and panicked.

The old marquis, Gu Xuan, married the Daqi family thirty-eight years ago. At that time, the patriarch also went to Xizhou to attend the wedding and met the Daqi family once, but this was the only time.

Five years later, when Gu Xuan returned to Beijing from Xizhou with his wife and children, the patriarch found out that his wife had changed. Gu Xuan explained that this was the successor he married and was the sister of Da Qi's family. Don't speak foreign language. Although the patriarch felt it was inappropriate, but at that time Gu Xuan had already brought his wife to face the saint, which meant that the boat had already been done, and he could only do it.

Thinking of these past events, the patriarch was in a state of turmoil, calmed down, and said forcefully, "The Gu family has had it, and when we go back, the Caomin will reopen the ancestral hall.

His voice tightened, and humbly pressed his forehead to the ground, maintaining a posture of prostrate, not daring to move, and anxiously waiting for the emperor's judgment.

And Mrs. Gu Tai's body trembled even more, her old face was pale and pale, her chest hurt, and she couldn't get up in one breath.

The words of the patriarch just now seemed to be the final word, giving her a fatal blow under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The eldest sister became Gu Xuan's original wife, but she herself became a successor, a successor with an unjustified name and no appointment, and a successor who would always perform concubinage to the original match.

The eldest sister is clearly her substitute, but now, she will always be overpowered by the eldest sister.

She is unwilling, she is unwilling!

Mrs. Gu Tai, who was kneeling on the ground, was both angry and helpless. She was completely lost, shaky, and almost fell to the ground.

The rustling sound of the jeweled five crowns shaking attracted the attention of the parrot, and the parrot flapped its wings and chirped twice.

Gu Jian's dull eyes raised a glimmer of hope, staring at the emperor without blinking.

It is a serious crime to use a succubus to serve as a descendant, and the Houfu must not bear this crime.

As for whether the mother is a successor or not, it is only a trivial matter, whether it is a Yuan partner or a successor, it is just a false name.

I have priorities, and at this moment, I can only aggrieved my mother to endure the status of the next room first, and pass the current hurdle first.

The emperor didn't say anything, neither said good nor bad, he was holding the chess piece in the chess box with one hand, as if he was thinking.

Chu Yi took two sips of Biluochun, put down the tea cup in his hand slowly, smiled lightly, and suddenly asked, "Gu Yuan, why are you entering the palace this time?"

When he opened his mouth, it was like a ray of spring breeze blowing, the ice melted and the snow melted.

Gu Yuan was about to answer, but Gu Jian couldn't wait to rush to say: "Your Highness, this minister feels that this is inappropriate for the minister's mother. Brother Yuan is the nephew of the minister, and Feng He's affairs will be decided by the emperor. The minister will bring Brother Yuan with him. Come and persuade the minister and mother to go back together.”

Gu Jian tried her best to smile, and put all the responsibility for this book on Mrs. Gu Tai, and only hoped that the emperor would open up and gently reveal it.

"Returning to Your Highness is to separate the family." Gu Yuan clasped his fists with both hands, and replied calmly to Chu Yi.

"..." Gu Jian's face turned black, as black as the bottom of a pot, but Mrs. Gu Tai suddenly came back to her senses.

Gu Yuan didn't care about Gu Jian's reaction at all, and continued: "Second uncle is going to split up with the humble brothers and sisters."

After finishing speaking, Gu Yuan turned his head and whispered to the patriarch who was lying on the ground: "Uncle and grandfather, in front of the imperial nephew, the grand-nephew dare not lie."

Hearing this, the patriarch was sweating profusely, and sighed secretly in his heart: The Hou residence has already angered Longyan, and any concealment now will only make the emperor dislike the Gu family even more.

Gu Jian almost didn't jump up, blowing his beard and glaringly retorted: "Your Majesty, it's clearly Gu Yuan and his siblings who are going to split up!"

"Not a minister..."

Gu Jian felt that she was more wronged than Dou E, and was about to explain a few words, but was hurriedly interrupted by the patriarch on the side: "Your Majesty, Caomin can testify, it's Hou... it's Gu Jianjian who split up the family!"

The patriarch said these words loudly. At this time, he looked at Gu Jian again, and his eyes couldn't hide the disgust.

At this point, Gu Jian is still talking nonsense, which is simply daring, does he want to pull himself together and commit the crime of deceiving the king? !

Zhao Rang quickly glanced at the emperor's face, and then asked the patriarch's hair instead of the emperor: "Gu An, why did the Dingyuan Houfu suddenly want to split up?"

The patriarch honestly told him that he was called to the Hou Mansion to preside over the division.

It was the first time he saw the emperor, and he was panicked and scared. He said things in different ways, but he also made three main points:

Today, Gu Jian sent someone to invite him and the clan elders to the Hou residence to preside over the division;

Gu Jian and his wife plan to separate the long room separately;

This time, Gu Jian’s house accounted for 70%, and the Gu Yuan brothers and sisters in the long house had only 15% of the entire family property, and the remaining 50% was divided equally between the fourth and fifth houses.

In the water pavilion, only the patriarch's dry voice echoed in the air. Gu Jian next to him tried to interrupt the patriarch several times, but after all, he remembered that this was not the Hou's residence, but the imperial front, and he could not tolerate his arrogance.

Mrs. Gu Tai didn't know about the separation until this moment, her whole body was shocked, she turned her head and stared at Gu Jian in disbelief, gasping for breath.

How could the son split up with the long house at this juncture? Isn’t that a low-level situation and only arouses suspicion? !

Why did he make his own opinions without consulting him!

She had only been away for more than an hour, and it felt like the world was turned upside down.

The patriarch kowtowed the third head firmly, and solemnly pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, the division of the family is too hasty, it's all the fault of the grass-roots people for not investigating."

"..." Mrs. Gu Tai was already confused.

I wanted to argue, to scold my son, but I couldn't even start.

Even if she said that all this is Gu Jian's own opinion, they are one mother and son, no one will believe it, nor will it make any sense.

"Snapped!"

The    emperor raised his hand again and re-examined the case, and said with a sneer, "Oh, I now know what the purpose of this book is."

At the same time as he was talking, the emperor threw the book at Gu Jian and Mrs. Gu Tai, and the book happened to be thrown on Gu Jian's calf, so frightened that Gu Jian's legs softened and he knelt down with a "thump".

Several censors glanced at Gu Jian with contempt, and the young censor stood up with his head held high, and bowed to the emperor with awe: "Your Majesty, Gu Jian, the Marquis of Dingyuan, is not allowed to be his nephew in order to seize the family property. It is even more so to speak falsely in front of the royal family, and want to put his relatives and nephews to death, which is really disloyal, unkind and unjust."

"Such a vicious act should be severely punished, and the emperor should also be convicted of depriving him of the title as an example."

The young Censor spoke with impassioned enthusiasm and reason, and the other Qingliu Censors all felt that he was right and nodded frequently.

Won the title? ! Gu Jian only felt that his heart was stabbed again, and a strong salty smell came from his throat.

At this moment, he really had the heart to kill this censor.

Why take his title? !

Gu Jian felt indignant in her heart: Gu Yuan mentioned the division of the family, why did the censor in the end put all the blame on him and ask the emperor to take his title? !

Gu Jian's face faded from the blood and was as pale as snow.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. His mouth opened and closed, his throat was burning like fire, and he looked at Xiao Shoufu with pleading eyes.

Xiao Shoufu frowned, the wound on his neck had been stopped, his gray hair was slightly messy, and his eyes were uncertain.

The Yu family and the Feng family have had accidents one after another, and today the family is even more defeated. After this incident, the power of the family in the dynasty is afraid that it will lose a lot...

The person Xiao Shoufu felt most regretful was Feng He.

He managed to put Feng He in Jing Zhaoyin's position.

Jing Zhaoyin is the parental official of the capital, but he is only a fourth-rank official. His rank is not high, and his power is not large. If there is a murder case of a noble family, it cannot be handled by Jing Zhaoyin, but everything in the capital cannot escape. Jing Zhaoyin's eyes can cut off the emperor's ears and eyes, and even...

Xiao Shoufu's eyes darkened, the more he thought about it, the more headaches he rubbed his eyebrows.

This time their family lost too much.

Xiao Shoufu did not speak, and the officials of the other families were all headed by him, and they all judged the situation and silently lowered their hands to watch.

And the envoys next to him all pointed their finger at Gu Jian, and followed:

"Yushi Han is right, this wind must not last long!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't other people have to learn and behave, after the death of the brother, the orphans, widows and mothers were expelled from the family in the name of separation."

"Yes, I, the Great Jing Dynasty, rule the world with loyalty and filial piety. Such despicable acts must be strangled."

“…”

These imperial envoys are the best at playing tricks, and most of them are upright and upright, and they are extremely combative. You rebuke Gu Jian every word and every word, and ask the emperor to punish Gu Jian severely.
