Chapter 319

If he disagrees, then wangfei would not give up either. Even if the evidence was insufficient now, and she would not immediately condemn the heir however if this case of the heir “killing his mother consort” was reinvestigated and retrialed, it would definitely affect the reputation of the heir, and would also affect the prestige of the heir in the military.

Xidi has been eyeing the western border for years. If Xidi takes the opportunity to attack, it would be more than worth the loss!

Duan Wangye’s pupils flicker and change constantly, weighing his pros and cons.

At the same time, two young eunuchs moved a large mahogany table and placed it in front of Duan Wangye and Madam Xiao.

The divorce paper was also neatly laid on the large table, with a dragon-shaped paperweight holding down one corner, the brush, and inkstone was also prepared.

After all was said and done, Duan Wangye walked slowly towards the table, and carefully read the contents of the divorce paper.

At this time, in fact, other people present had vaguely guessed his decision.

Sure enough——

Duan Wangye picked up the wolf-tipped brush, dipped it in ink, and signed his name on the divorce paper—Gu Xiao.

Then, he pressed his thumb on the red ink and stamped it on the divorce paper.

But inwardly he told himself that this was only a delay.

It was only to put this matter down for the time being, and then slowly intercede with wangfei. They have been married for decades, and wangfei only thinks of breaking up with him because she was angry for a while, but later if he explains and bows his head, wangfei would definitely softens her heart.

“The emperor actually bestow the third son, Gu Zezhi as Chenjun Wang directly!” At this time, the minister of the Ministry of Justice as if just remembering the scene when Duan Wangye and Duan Wang Fei officially divorced, his expression became even more complicated.

An old judicial officer and the left minister exchanged a tacit look with him, before the old judicial officer said affirmatively, “It seems that the emperor has long planned this.”

It was obvious how the emperor decisively agreed on the official separation of Duan Wangye and the now Madam Xiao that day, probably because he had the intention of using Gu Zezhi again.

The left minister walked down the marble steps while stroking his beard, “Third Master Gu...the imperial county king has made great contributions, so he has conferred a title and is highly valued by the emperor. What an honor it is!”

“Compared with Duan Wangye’s heir...”

He didn’t say anything any further, but the Minister of Justice and the judicial officer understood what he meant.

Although Duan Wang fu was supported by Qin Wang fu, Duan Wangye was still alive, strong, and healthy if there was no accident, he could still live for so many years, so after all was said and done the heir was still an heir, but Gu Zezhi on the other hand had achieved beyond being just an heir and directly became a king.

When things were compared, there was a huge gap in strength and level, which was higher and which was lower, who wins and who loses was easy to judge.

In other words, the emperor issued this imperial edict because he wanted to support Gu Zezhi.

Gu Zezhi’s future was boundless, maybe in two years, he, Chenjun, would become Qin Chenjun!

Not only do the three ministers of the Ministry of Justice think the same, but so was other ministers.

For a while, the Duan Wang Mansion in the capital was bustling with people, but these people who came to give gifts to Gu Zezhi just found out that Gu Zezhi had lived in the Xiao Mansion with Madam Xiao for a while now.

After knowing this, the capital was once again shaken by the events of the Duan Wang Mansion.
