Chapter 251 Won the title (one more)
Just now, Mrs. Gu Tai's indictment was clearly heard by everyone present. The words on the book were aggressive, as if they were going to kill Gu Yuan.
It is conceivable that if Gu Yuan is convicted, the reputation of the first prince will inevitably be flawed from now on, both the commoners and courtiers will question whether Gu Yuan is acting on the orders of the first prince.
The eldest prince is the only son of the emperor, and everyone knows that the emperor will make him the prince sooner or later.
Once the eldest prince has this stain, those noble families can use this as an excuse to oppose the emperor's establishment of a heir.
His heart is simply sinister.
The more they thought about it, the more indignant they became, and their sharp eyes shot at Gu Jian like countless arrows, unable to hide their contempt and contempt.
Dingyuan Hou's mansion is obviously noble, but it is biased towards those aristocratic families, with no stand and no principles.
Every time they thought that the family secretly instigated the censor to hit the wall, their disgust towards the family doubled, and they were very disdainful of Gu Jian's actions.
Seeing that the situation was showing a one-sided momentum, Xiao Shoufu was even more reluctant to come forward. He raised his hand irritably to dust off the dust on his robe, and made a decision in his heart.
It's useless to have the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion around, so why should he make a fuss.
Gu Jian waited and waited, but could not wait for the rescue from the aristocratic family. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on his head, and his whole body was freezing.
It was for King Kang that he persuaded his mother to impeach Gu Yuan, but now something happened to their Gu family, these families seemed to be throwing a burden, and they couldn't wait to distance themselves from the Gu family!
is really chilling!
Gu Jian was fighting all over, and turned to look at the emperor again with panic in his eyes, his neck was so stiff that the bones rattled.
The emperor by the window was still silent. Under the backlight, the emperor's facial features were a little blurry, and his eyes were dark and gloomy.
The emperor slowly picked up a white stone from the chess box, as if thinking and hesitating.
The more the emperor did not speak, the more afraid Gu Jian became, and his whole body went numb.
No one from the Gu family spoke, and no one from the aristocratic family spoke, so I just listened to the envoys talking non-stop, and I just wished to take off Gu Jian's red robe embroidered with unicorns.
Those voices could no longer reach Gu Jian's ears, and her ears were buzzing, she just stared at the emperor, until her eyes became dry and sore.
I don't know how long it took, and the emperor after drinking a few sips of tea said slowly: "Gu Jian falsely accused, deceived the emperor, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, remembering that Gu Yao and Gu Xuan once made innumerable military exploits for Dajing... "
Hearing this, Gu Jian's almost desperate eyes lit up slightly, her eyes widened, thinking that there was still room to turn around.
pounding!
Gu Jian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. The next moment, the emperor's high gaze met him, and he finished his words without anger or anger: "I will take it lightly and only dismiss Gu Jian and take the title. Bar."
These words sounded like a thunder in Gu Jian's ears.
Gu Jian's eyes turned black, and he almost fainted without losing his strength, as if he had swallowed bitter gall, a bitter taste spread from his mouth to his heart.
The title is his, he has worked hard for eight years, and the mansion has only improved. How could his title be taken away? !
It shouldn't be!
It shouldn't be like this!
This thought reverberated in Gu Jian's mind repeatedly.
His eyes turned red, and his bowels were green with remorse: they shouldn't have made this excuse today.
And mother...
They clearly agreed, let her kneel at the palace gate for a while and leave, why did she tell Gu Yuan what a concubine's nonsense? Otherwise, how could things develop to this point of no return!
Thinking of this, Gu Jian looked at Madam Gu Tai with a trace of resentment in her eyes, and her eyes became gloomy and violent little by little.
"Your Majesty is just!" Han Yushi was the first to say loudly.
The other censors also joined in, praising the emperor for being fair, and talking about old feelings, he was indeed a benevolent ruler.
In the hearts of these imperial censors, Gu Jian’s false remarks in front of the imperial court was a crime of deceiving the king, and it was also a misdemeanor in front of the imperial court, so he should be convicted and exiled as a punishment.
But after all, the emperor looked at the great contributions made by the ancestors of the Gu family for the court, and only dismissed Gu Jian and won the title, which is also the emperor's kindness to the next.
The emperor glanced at the crowd, raised the corners of his lips slightly, dropped another white stone on the chessboard, and took advantage of the situation to grab four black stones. He felt that his moves were really wonderful.
He raised his eyebrows and winked at Chu Yi who was sitting opposite him.
Chu Yi smiled slightly, and the warm sunlight coated his fair face and apricot-yellow robe with a thin layer of gold foil, reflecting his radiance.
He took another step calmly and said with a smile: "Father, Gu Yuan has done a good job in escorting..."
The emperor moved in his heart, his bright eyes turned slightly, and he said, "This title..."
The emperor wanted to say that this title is better for Gu Yuan, but he just said a few words and was interrupted by Chu Yi: "This title is a gift from Emperor Taizu to the Gu family, although the current Gu family can't afford the title."
Having said that, Chu Yi's eyes swept over the sweaty Gu Jian lightly, saying of course that Gu Jian can't afford the title.
His eyes finally fell on Gu Yuan's tall and straight figure, full of smiles, "But if the younger generation is talented and has the style of the ancestors and made outstanding achievements for the country and the people, the title of Marquis Dingyuan can still be returned. For the family."
The princes and marquis of the Dajing Dynasty are rare and valuable, and they are all heroes who have the merits of the dragon with the founding of the country. It's just a title.
In the fifty years since the founding of the Dajing Dynasty, three lords and two uncles have been deprived of titles, and the number of honorable persons is only a small number.
"What does the emperor think?" Chu Yi asked the emperor with a smile.
The emperor knew his son's intentions, laughed heartily, stroked his palms cheerfully: "Okay, so good!"
"Your Highness Xie, Xie First Prince." Gu Yuan clasped his fists in a stern manner, his eyes shining like the warm sun outside the window, because of Chu Yi's speech just now.
He still remembered one day when he was more than four years old, his father once asked him with a smile: "Brother Yuan, when you grow up, do you want Dad's Dragon Origin Sword?"
At that time, he nodded vigorously and said, "Think!"
My father asked again: "What would you do if this sword was taken away or even destroyed before Daddy passed it on to you?"
To him, who was young and fashionable at the time, his father's sword was the best sword in the world, and he was so sad that he burst into tears.
Daddy told him the story of the Longyuan Sword. The Longyuan Sword was a famous sword that Daddy and Guan seized when they went to the northwest to suppress bandits that year. Cut iron like mud.
"Brother Yuan, there is more than one sword in this world, the Longyuan sword. Are you willing to find a better sword to honor your father?" Finally, his father asked him jokingly.
At that time, he wiped his tears with his sleeves, and said angrily, "Yes!"
If he wants to, he can too.
Even if the Dragon Origin Sword is gone, even if the title of Houfu is gone, it’s okay.
He still has these hands and feet, and he can rely on himself to earn this glory back!
"..." The patriarch's face was pale, but now there was a faint hope in those gray eyes.
With the first prince's high regard for Gu Yuan, he will definitely reuse him, which also means that their Gu family still has hope of regaining their former glory and glory.
The envoys present were a little surprised, and looked at Chu Yi with a little more admiration and respect.
They also thought that the eldest prince had the heart to support Gu Yuan, and would take the opportunity of Gu Jian’s mistake to propose to give the title to Gu Yuan. For example, the uncle Yongxin also made a big mistake because the first uncle Yongxin made a big mistake, and the emperor Taizu made the decision. Instead, he gave the title to the second room, the second brother of Xian Yong Xinbo.
It is also common to think of the merits of the ancestors of the noble family.
However, in the matter of Dingyuan Houfu, Gu Yuan was bad because he had a father like Gu Ce.
Although Gu Yuan was successful in saving the driver, his small contribution was not enough to make up for Gu Ce's crime of subjugating the enemy back then. The father's guilt is the son's responsibility, which is just and righteous.
The current Gu Yuan has no merits and virtues, and even if the emperor and the eldest prince are willing to give him the title, the name is not right. These censors will never sit idly by and have to impeach him on the spot!
What they didn't think about was that the First Prince was so clear about rewards and punishments that he did not forcefully pass on the title of Marquis Dingyuan to Gu Yuan because Gu Yuan was his person, so as to support his contacts.
He didn't take it as soon as he said it, as the previous emperor did, but he remembered the affection of the Gu family's ancestors and left the Gu family a breath of thought.
The eldest prince really has the demeanor of a Mingjun!
The censors sang their praises to the emperor and the first prince, father and son for a while, and even Mu Sheng jokingly agreed.
Xiao Shoufu, Feng She and others all had gloomy faces, while Mrs. Gu Tai and Gu Jian's mother and son seemed to have lost half of their three souls and seven souls.
Especially Mrs. Gu Tai, the continuous blows made her mentally collapse.
Her heart continued to cramp, her limbs were cold, she couldn't catch her breath, her whole body trembled violently, and there were only two thoughts left in her mind: she became the successor, and the title of the marquis was gone.
The things she had been pursuing for most of her life were suddenly gone, all gone!
Then what is she doing in this life? !
The eldest sister is dead, Gu Xuan is dead, only she is still alive, she is the winner, right? But why did she end up with nothing after planning for half a lifetime? !
God is unfair!
God is not fair!
Mrs. Gu Tai's face suddenly turned white, raised her hand to caress the colic left chest and bent down, her eyes were dark.
