Eternal traitor

"Very good." Mo Ran nodded satisfied with her eldest son, and then shouted to the group of relatives with a serious face: "This matter is settled like this. Whoever dares to say more, don't blame the old man for not being sympathetic." .”

When the old man said a word, the noisy voice disappeared instantly. Even the middle-aged woman who yelled the loudest just now opened her mouth for a long time and did not say a word. She has been married to Gu Ran for decades, and she knows Gu Ran's character. No matter how much trouble I make, I can't change Gu Ran's decision, and I can only let myself be punished afterwards.

When the dust settled, Gu Ran walked into the room with Gu Huaye's support.A group of people looked at each other, and they all knew in their hearts that the world of the Gu family was about to change??????

Chapter 72

The time of the Qin State's early court is eight o'clock in the morning, but this does not mean that the ministers need to arrive before eight o'clock.Ministers usually get up at five or six o'clock in the morning, wash with the help of servants, wear official uniforms, have breakfast, prepare carriages, and then set off before seven o'clock. They need to arrive at the palace at 07:30 at the latest. The gate of the temple was waiting neatly.

Outside the gate of the imperial palace, carriages that marked the standard of the "Hundred Trade Union" were parked at the entrance. The Qingbao carriages worth tens of thousands of taels, the majestic Dapeng carriages, and even the worst carriages were fourth-class. Red cloud carriage. (Now on the black market, Hongyun carriage has been fired to 2000 taels of silver)

After getting off the carriage, a group of ministers did not leave and walked into the palace, but waited for the ministers who had a good relationship with them to enter together.For the sake of face, these big shots bought expensive special carriages one after another.If the people around you are all expensive luxury goods, then you will feel inferior and lose face if you use the broken carriage from before, and you will even be laughed at for being poor.

Ministers with good family backgrounds bought it without hesitation, but there was little oil and water, and those with poor family backgrounds could only buy it by selling out their money.At this time, Baimao United also launched a "loan" policy. If the money is not enough, you can write down the IOU and repay it slowly. Moreover, Baimao Union will protect the customer's information and not disclose it to the public.

The carriage of ten thousand taels of silver is a lot of money, so don't look at these big shots as "luxury cars." There are more than a dozen loans to buy carriages here, and only Li Hua and Ying Zheng know about these IOUs and information. up.

At critical times, these IOUs can play a key role.

At the gate of the palace, several ministers were chatting about recent interesting things, but they didn't know what happened last night.In the distance, a green leopard carriage drove over under the protection of soldiers.The buyers of the green leopard carriage are all existences with extremely high status, even from a distance they can clearly see this unique blue carriage.

The carriage stopped, the little eunuch lifted the curtains, and the young Ying Zheng got out of the carriage with a cold expression on his face.There was an icy chill all over his body, coupled with the blood on his body, it made people feel a hint of fear.

"see it??"

"I saw it."

"It's blood, it looks like something big is going to happen."

"Don't talk too much for a while."

Yingzheng walked into the palace, but the ministers at the side all saw it. The blood on the black brocade clothes was so clearly visible. What does this mean?It is very likely that something major has happened. I thought it was a calm day, but now it seems that monstrous waves have begun to appear.

Ying Zheng's special appearance is a warning before the storm comes.

It was close to 7.40 in the morning. In the palace, the ministers consciously stood in a few rows to respond to the noisy time in Japan, but at this moment there was no sound, and no one dared to say a word.In the quiet hall, a group of people dare not even fart loudly, and even a needle can be heard when it falls on the ground.

"Your Majesty is coming."

Following the eunuch's sharp shout, King Qin, who climbed up from the gentle village, was wearing a black robe and sat on the dragon chair with some lack of energy.

"My son pays homage to his father."

"The minister waits to pay homage to the king."

All the people below knelt on the ground one after another, and saluted King Qin, who was high above him. They knelt on the cold ground with their hands close to the ground, and their heads needed to touch the floor below. This was considered proper etiquette.

"Get up."

King Qin said something casually.This matter is like saying "good morning teacher" and "students sit down" in class in later generations. I have to say that although the culture has changed a lot for thousands of years, there are still many similarities.

"Thank you king."

Everyone slowly stood up from the ground.Then lowered his head, waiting for the arrival of a storm.Ministers who don't know the situation are naturally hopeless and frightened.And some people who know the inside story are more calm.

"Wang Er, why is there blood on your body??"

Qin Wang locked his eyes on Ying Zheng and started his performance. His expression seemed to be three points puzzled, five points puzzled, and two points angry. It can be said that he saw his son's bloody clothes for the "first time" The performance is vivid.

"Returning to my father, the thieves attacked my carriage at night last night. About dozens of dead servants bravely charged forward. The blood on my son's body was left when I killed the thief."

Ying Zheng didn't even have to think about what to say. He had already communicated with King Qin about how to speak and what to say, and now he was just acting for others.

"Snapped"

The King of Qin slammed the dragon chair and roared angrily: "Who dares to attack my Prince Qin?? Could it be that he wants to eliminate his nine clans?"

King Qin roared, and a group of ministers lowered their heads even more. Everyone was thinking about what they said just now. Was Ying Zheng attacked? ?Someone feed Deadpool? ?Is this the rhythm of death? ?

"It's just some youngsters from the enemy country, and my minister has already defeated them. Among them, Meng Yi notified the general Meng Tian to rescue them in time, so that they can all be captured." After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he took a breath. Continued: "However, Li Yi, the city guard, neglected his duties, and did not arrange patrols in the direction of the south city, which led to the delay in the support. When the minister asked the crime, Li Yi even sacked his hands and begged the minister for forgiveness. The minister saw that this person returned Some of my blood in Qin State do not intend to pursue it. However, for the position of city guard, my son thinks that Li Yi is not suitable for this person, of course, please learn from my father."

There are many problems in Ying Zheng's words. For example, the dead servant of the enemy country attacked the prince, and he did not say that it was from that country.It's better to say, what does Meng Yi, a boy, go out to do in the middle of the night?It's more like, Li Yi is a cowardly guy, he dares to use his hands to ask for forgiveness? ?There are too many problems with such flawed words, but who dares to stand up and say more? ?

"Don't worry, Wang Er, Gu will definitely interrogate those thieves. The Meng family has been loyal and good for generations, Meng Yi has made great contributions to saving people, and Gu himself will be rewarded. As for the post of city guard, it is indeed very important and cannot be vacant. Recommended??"

In one sentence, King Qin put aside the matter of "the assassination of the prince", and only said a word that would be strictly interrogated, and immediately changed the topic to the position of the city guard department.

"Your Majesty, one of the veterans recommended me, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

Just when the others looked at each other and dared not make a sound, Gu Ran, one of the Nine Ministers, stood up and said in an official tone, shaking his head.

"Oh? Even if it's a recommendation, there's a limit to being alone."

Qin Wang said without changing his face, but he was a little surprised by Ying Zheng in his heart. After all, Gu Ran is an old bone, and he doesn't even give him face. How could he sell Ying Zheng's face? ? "Baimao United" has always carried the banner of the Gu family, so did Gu Ran fall for Yingzheng? ?Impossible, this is not the style of this old guy.

Chapter 73

The City Guard Division is an important position that holds the military power of King Qin's capital. Such a key position that can command tens of thousands of people is usually appointed by King Qin himself.And the reason why Li Yi, a useless man, was the last city guard department is entirely because the original Li family had the merits of being a dragon, plus paying a lot of price and the result of Li Guifei blowing the pillow.

Generally, after asking such a question, it was after Lu Buwei and King Qin had a private discussion. During the court meeting, Lu Buwei recommended the internally determined person to King Qin, and then King Qin made the final decision.But today, there was a replacement? ?

Gu Ran, the veteran of the three dynasties has never been sympathetic to the King of Qin. He often stands up to oppose the decisions of the King of Qin, and fights hard with reason, which makes the King of Qin unable to step down several times.Now, is he going to make trouble again? ?

Just when everyone pricked up their ears to hear how the old man "courageously fought the King of Qin", Gu Ran saluted slowly, and said leisurely: "The old minister thought that Meng Yi could stand up to this important task."

Meng Yi?

A group of people were stunned, you actually recommended a boy for such a position? ?what are you thinking?No, the Meng family is the most loyal subordinate of the King of Qin. Could it be that Gu Ran was arranged by the King of Qin? ?is it possible? ?

"Meng Yi, but he is still young, is it too early to take on this important task?"

King Qin pretended to think about it, and then asked a meaningful question.Acting has to be a full set, even if you don't say it yourself, other ministers will probably stand up and make irresponsible remarks.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

As soon as King Qin's words fell, an elderly minister stood up.This person's name is Li Guoqing, and he is one of the current Jiuqing, the father of Li Yi and Mrs. Li, and now the head of the Li family, with a power that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

"It's National Day. Although Li Yi made mistakes, he was able to face and take responsibility directly. The Li family really has the blood of our Qin country flowing. I wonder how he is doing now?"

Although she was not very satisfied with the Li family, Concubine Li Gui served him as quickly as possible last night, coupled with the Li family's fine and the attitude of admitting her mistakes, the original anger also dissipated a lot.At this time, facing all the officials, King Qin couldn't say much, so he pretended to be concerned and asked.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's concern, it is the King and His Highness the Crown Prince's favor to let Gouzi make this big mistake and not behead him. Although Gouzi's hands are crippled, his life is not in danger. The rest of his life, the old minister will take good care of him."

Li Guoqing kowtowed to the King of Qin while knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, and then saluted Ying Zheng. It was very regrettable that he was loyal to the country.Li Guoqing had only one son and one daughter. Concubine Li Gui entered the palace and gave birth to Cheng Qiao, the prince.

It is impossible to rely on Cheng Qiao to carry on the family in the Li family, so Li Yi is Li Guoqing's only sustenance, and he is also the first successor of the Li family's future patriarch. Now that his hands have been crippled, if he becomes the patriarch again, there may be a lot of gossip in the family.

In fact, to be honest, although Li Guoqing was a little angry at Li Yi's tragic situation, but then he thought about it, raising the dead servant and assassinating Li Hua, after such a major event was revealed, it was very good to end with such a result.
