Reincarnated vassal system
Chapter 58
As Gu Yu was imprisoned again, Du Liyu gave up relying on her incompetent husband, and directly handed over a sign to the palace, begging to see Concubine Du Gui, but was blocked at the door of the House of Internal Affairs.
The one who came out to answer the question was a strange servant, who looked at Du Liyu with a smile that was not a smile, "Hey, Mrs. Gu, your brand of the House of Internal Affairs is coming, and when it's time for you, I'll go ask His Majesty for instructions." , you go back and wait."
"What did you say?" Du Liyu frowned, "Go back and wait? Do you know who I am asking to see?"
"Could it be the empress dowager?" The servant pretended to be surprised, "but the empress dowager hasn't seen any outsiders recently."
"You're so blind!" Du Liyu has been fed up with the anger for half her life these days, and she can't care about everyone's demeanor when she speaks. She spread out her greeting card directly in front of the servant , "It's really a blind eye, look carefully, but look at the honorific title of the imperial concubine!"
The servant really went up to take a look seriously, but just clicked his tongue twice after watching, "Mrs. Gu, forgive me, I really don't dare to look at it too much. There are no big figures like imperial concubines and empresses in this huge harem! I really didn't pay attention just now." , Your brand, I don’t dare to ask you for instructions, and I can’t bear the responsibility of this nonsense!”
Another bumpkin who doesn't even know about the imperial concubine!Du Liyu was in a hurry, "Even the imperial concubine doesn't know about it, it seems that he is really a guy who can't stand on the stage. Let your managers come out to see my wife!"
"Mrs. Gu, it seems that this trick is not very good, and it's not just for the little one!" The servant tugged at his clothes with a smile, "If you are talking about the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the little one knows, then Unfortunately, it is the young one. As for the imperial concubine, the young one really doesn't know, could it be that Madam is talking about... Concubine Du?"
Only then did Du Liyu notice that the servant was wearing the palace attire of the head of the House of Internal Affairs, she didn't dare to think about the meaning of this person's words, "Ms. Du Concubine!"
The new head of internal affairs still had a respectful expression, "Yes, speaking of the palace, this Concubine Du had a noble concubine name a few days ago, but it's just that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, isn't it—oh, it's really a small word. Too many, after all, thanks to the blessing of Concubine Du, the little one was able to get lucky!"
Hearing this, Du Liyu couldn't believe it at all, she took a few steps back in shock, but bumped into a wall of flesh, and then heard a familiar annoying voice.
"You better be careful, auntie." Gu Huai held Du Liyu's shoulders with both hands, and immediately let go with a light touch, making Du Liyu almost fall over.When she turned around, she saw Gu Huai's annoying habitual smile, "Why did you come here?"
"Auntie's words are so interesting. You can come, but my nephew can't?" Gu Huai responded lightly, and the new head of the House of Internal Affairs, who had just smiled at Du Liyu in a very distant and polite way, immediately showed a smile that was several times more enthusiastic. "Master Gu, it's time to wait for you! Please let the little one lead you into the palace."
"Excuse me, father-in-law." Gu Huai directly bypassed Du Liyu, but she grabbed her sleeves and asked the head of internal affairs, "Why can he enter the palace?"
"It's better for my aunt to be self-respecting." Gu Huai looked at Du Liyu's hand delicately, "Today you and a foreign male guest had an indecent rumor in the living room, which has already hurt my aunt very much. Yu, Auntie should take good care of Second Uncle's head."
This Mrs. Gu still dares to put a green hat on Gu Shilang in an open and honest manner?The head of the House of Internal Affairs gave her an admiring look, and then straightened his face, "Madam Gu, please don't hinder me from carrying out the emperor's order. Your Majesty entered the palace with an order."
Du Liyu wanted to say something else, but Gu Huai suddenly turned around and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Auntie, don't forget 100 million." He paused, and suddenly added something.
Du Liyu opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to think, and finally closed her mouth.
Gu Huai followed the head of the House of Internal Affairs all the way into the palace.With Shang Zhi going to the front line these days, and Concubine Du's status plummeting in the palace, Gu Huai, a younger generation who was not related to the Holy Majesty in the past, gradually came into the eyes of Emperor Jianyuan.
Inside Qianyuan Palace, Gu Huai knelt down and saluted, "My subject, Gu Huai, join the Emperor."
"Gu Aiqing." In front of Emperor Jianyuan was the account book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that had returned to the copybook, and the page stayed at the part of the Department of General Affairs. "It's really comforting for me!"
As soon as he said this, the servants next to him slowly withdrew from Qianyuan Palace, leaving only the monarch and his ministers and eunuch Mu En.Emperor Jianyuan knocked on the table and said softly, "What does Gu Aiqing think about this matter?"
The emperor didn't say what was going on, but Gu Huai returned with his fists clasped, "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter should be handled by someone in the dark."
"Oh?" There was no emotion in the emperor's voice.
"Your Majesty please forgive me." Gu Huai was neither humble nor overbearing, "The fact that I mentioned this matter in the court hall was because I accidentally checked the account books of the Experience Department and found out that my cousin was using it for profit. Your Majesty has great love for the minister, but the minister is related to his cousin by blood, so it is difficult to impeach him bluntly."
He paused for a while, then said slowly again, "Besides, my brother-in-law is also going through a counselor's affairs. I fear that my cousin will be angry, so I have to talk about him in the court, but I believe that your majesty's insight is as bright as a torch. I will definitely be able to detect the clues. The minister is guilty!"
Emperor Jianyuan stared at the back of Gu Huai's head seriously for a while, then suddenly showed his face slowly, "You are quite honest, if you dare to speak the truth in front of me, I am not afraid that I will punish you for deceiving the emperor!"
"Chen..." Gu Huai suddenly hesitated, his face flushed red because he couldn't hold back his words.Emperor Jianyuan looked at his boyish appearance, which had not been fully opened, and stopped his index finger, which had been twitching the desk case slightly.
"It's no wonder that Zhi'er got close to you." Emperor Jianyuan spit out a sentence leisurely, "You haven't said anything yet, why did you go secretly to investigate this matter?"
Gu Huai was still kneeling on the ground, but his voice was very clear, "I checked the account books, and my cousin increased the amount of gold powder to 50 taels a month. The accumulated amount in three years has already exceeded a thousand. With such a huge amount, I tried to find out Looking into the direction of the flow, I found that my cousin was using the gambling shop to empty out other people's money and then lend money."
Emperor Jianyuan's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard 50 taels a month, and his expression turned a little strange when he heard the word "money lending".
"I don't know how much this amount should have multiplied through gambling and money lending. But I can guess that this money may not be controlled by my cousin at all."
"Oh, could it be?" Emperor Jianyuan's tone was very light, but with a breath of wind and rain, "Do you want to sue your grandfather, or uncle?"
"Return to Your Majesty, no." Gu Huai raised his head slightly, but still insisted on the law that he should not look directly at the emperor, "A few days ago, the gambling shop under the jurisdiction of my cousin owed a huge debt of 1 taels, and the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture ordered the debt However, Auntie said that the mansion is unable to take out this debt, and it is expected that even 100 million cannot be taken out, so how could it be said by someone who has thousands of taels of gold?"
Emperor Jianyuan thought that Gu Huai was still young, too naive, and didn't know the greed of people's hearts. Even if he was an emperor with countless gold and silver in the world, he felt that he still didn't want to take out 1 taels...
I just heard that Gu Huai then irresponsibly tripped up the enemy, "...then I have no way of knowing where this huge sum of money went, and where is such a large sum of money needed?"
where?Emperor Jianyuan suddenly blessed his heart, where is the place where he spends the most money!army!Gu Yu's uncle, Marquis of Tai'an, was stationed at the southwestern border. Could it be that this person had criminal intentions, otherwise why would he hoard such a large sum of wealth!
The emperor's mind has always been subtle, unknowingly, Emperor Jianyuan has affirmed his own ideas, and from the details of Gu Yu's special entry into the General Administration Department three years ago, and started to seek money, he imagined that Tai'an Hou had definitely planned for a long time, but he still let himself go. His own sister Concubine Du came to confuse himself!
At this time, he has completely selectively forgotten that it was he who took the initiative to dote on Concubine Du and gave the Du family infinite glory.After hearing Gu Huai's words, Emperor Jianyuan squinted his eyes slightly, and finally remembered the secret institution of the royal family - the Royal Dark Guard.
So he hadn't reached his destination yet——Shang Zhi in the northwest frontier was directly transferred to the southwest by an urgent imperial order, but Gu Huai, who just irresponsibly threw the blame on his enemies, didn't know about it.
When Gu Huai left Qianyuan Palace, he was burdened with a new emperor's mandate, and he and the Ministry of Internal Affairs jointly arranged a feast for the Empress Dowager.This title sounds like a good job, of course, in fact it is not bad.But in fact, as the right-hand governor of the General Administration Department, he is mainly responsible for arranging the work that should be written during the feast.
For example, arrange for someone to copy the list, gift list, etc., to inform the world, saying that the people at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet are happy, etc., Gu Huai didn't think about how much his own words had caused Emperor Jianyuan to open his mind, and went straight into it. Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, when Gu Huai left Qianyuan Palace, Emperor Jianyuan sat on the dragon chair for a long time without moving, so long that eunuch Mu En couldn't help disturbing the emperor's thinking, and asked softly, "Your Majesty?"
"Mu En." Emperor Jianyuan finally spoke, but his voice was hoarse as if he hadn't slept all night, vicissitudes and heavy. "Tell me, these years, have I really favored Concubine Du too much? It made the Du family have thoughts that they shouldn't have."
"Thunderstorms, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, but the Du family is not cautious, so don't feel sad about it." Eunuch Mu En persuaded.
"For so many years, I have treated the Duke of Zhen as the same, and the Shen family still stands upright." Emperor Jianyuan was deeply moved, "There are some people who really cannot be replaced."
"Your Majesty, the Empress Yuan deserves your treatment." Rao was as cautious as Mu En, but he couldn't help but speak for his former master in this matter.The word "Yuanhou" has long been a forbidden word in the harem, but Mu En spoke at this time.
This opening seemed to open up the tide of Emperor Jianyuan's longing.He smiled wryly, and opened the memorial that had not been reviewed before, which was the one that Duke Wei asked to establish his son.He paused, "The Du family really can't stand this favor from me."
After finishing speaking, he picked up a pen and wrote a reply under the memorial, "According to the ancestral practice, refute the selfishness of the Duke of the country, and follow the previous regulations to establish the eldest son of the house, Gu Shi'an, as his successor."
So Gu Huai just negotiated the specific procedure with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and when he returned to the Gu Mansion, he directly watched the good show he sang these days, and finally the result came out.
It was another imperial decree, Gu Shi'an who was in the Imperial College was urgently recalled, and the person who hit him directly on the head was the position of the eldest son who had not been established for decades.
Du Liyu passed out directly, and before she fainted, the imperial decree specifically ordered that the 100 million must be returned to the creditor within two to three days.
The wind direction in Weiguo Duke's mansion changed immediately, and even Aunt Muzi was busy giving a flattering smile to the confirmed future master of the mansion before she remembered to send her master back to rest.
The big room seemed to instantly become the heart of all the servants of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and after Fang sent away the Xuanzhi eunuch, there was someone who didn't know which courtyard was not the maid in the big room anyway, and directly smeared much more gorgeous rouge than usual, Served fragrant tea for Gu Shi'an and his son who had not yet left the reception room, "Master, young master, this maid and concubine will bring you fragrant tea, please enjoy it slowly."
Gu Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, but Gu Shi'an still looked at the imperial decree in his hand in a daze. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Gu Huai, "Follow me to the study."
The figure of the two leaving almost hurt the heart of the dressed maid, she ran away crying amidst the ridicule of many maids.
Gu Shi'an's study room, Gu Huai, just came here a while ago when he was looking for a store deed, and it was cleaned, but there was not much dust.Gu Shi'an stepped into the study first, spread the imperial decree on the desk, looked at Gu Huai with a complicated expression, "You did it?"
Gu Huai opened his eyes innocently, "Father thinks too much of me, how can I influence the thoughts of grandfather and His Majesty."
Gu Shi'an didn't loosen his eyebrows when he heard this, he just sighed slightly, and asked again, "I heard that Gu Yu has entered the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is it your handwriting?"
"My cousin not only guarded and stole from himself, but also embezzled the emperor's internal treasury. I didn't force my cousin to do this, did I?" Gu Huai explained one by one.
"Gu Huai." Gu Shi'an finally straightened his face, but the deep melancholy was still hidden on the brows, "As a father, I don't want to be a son." He slowly stood up and looked out the window, "For the sake of this son's position." , I really lost too much, and I have nothing left to take on this position.”
Hearing this, Gu Huai's eyes flashed, but his face remained innocent, "My son can't understand what my father said."
"I remember last time, you told me that you wanted to be the chief assistant." Gu Shi'an seemed to think of something, and his complexion looked a little better as he said, "I hope for my father, you can let go of the fetters that you shouldn't bear, and really become a chief assistant." The Chief Assistant in my heart."
After finally confirming that his father was indeed persuading him to let go of the past, Gu Huai's face finally became serious, "Father, my son is cutting off the bondage with a knife. You don't need to worry, I will let go soon."
"Is that how you put it down?" Gu Shi'an suddenly became agitated, "Take down the people in the second room one by one?"
"Father, it seems that you are not ignorant of the murderer back then." Gu Huai narrowed his eyes, "I thought I was the only one who remembered that hatred!"
"Hate? No matter how deep the hatred is, it's nothing but death." Gu Shi'an took a deep breath, "Gu Huai, don't continue, I don't want to be involved in this accident, you should stay away too. "
"Father, I have escaped for too many years." Gu Huai stepped forward and held down the imperial decree, "I don't know why you didn't investigate, or why you didn't hunt down the wicked after the investigation, but I can't tolerate it. It's been too long, I'm worried that if I don't do it again, I will forget this hatred."
This hatred is deeper than being persecuted to death.
"Gu Huai..." Gu Shi'an couldn't bear it when he saw Gu Huai whose eyes were already red, "I..."
"Hate? Then why don't you kill yourself to end this hatred!"
Suddenly, another person's voice sounded in the study. It was at the door. Shi Xinru stood there alone, with a clear expression, and she didn't look like she was ill, but the words she said were extremely vicious, "You executioner, you If he died, my son's hatred would have ended long ago!"
Gu Huai saw his mother opened her mouth, "Mother..."
"Who is your mother? I don't have a son who is a vicious murderer!" Shi Xinru walked into the room directly, her eyes were black and white, but there was a deep hatred inside, "Who knows which vicious woman gave birth to..."
"Xinru!" Gu Shi'an directly interrupted Shi Xinru, "You should take your medicine!"
"Take medicine? What kind of medicine to take? Medicine to make me forget how heartless you are and how disregarding the life and death of your own son?" Shi Xinru sneered, "Yes, it is really good medicine. After so many years, it has made me more sober Now, and I remember more and more, it was you, the little devil, who killed my Lueer!"
As she spoke, she became more and more excited, and finally couldn't control herself and rushed towards Gu Huai, "You executioner! You little devil! Why did you let Lue Er get into that carriage! Why didn't you die! Why did my Weier died so badly, but you are fine!"
"But you pay for my life!" She clasped Gu Huai's neck with both hands, and tightened Gu Huai with all her strength.
Gu Huai just stood there motionless and let Shi Xinru attack him, until Shi Xinru's hands clenched tighter and tighter, but he just looked at his mother with a pair of sad eyes.
This was the first time that Shi Xinru fully expressed her loathing for herself, the kind of hatred that really showed from the bottom of her eyes, the kind of hatred that really thought that Gu Huai was the culprit who caused Gu Lue's death, and it made Gu Huai feel for the first time, Perhaps, in the eyes of my mother, I really killed my brother.
Perhaps, brother really killed himself?
Mother was right, when it comes to revenge, she is the biggest culprit.
He smiled and closed his eyes, the dispute between Gu Shi'an and Shi Xinru seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, until the voices in his ears were all blurred, and there was a buzzing sound of tinnitus.
The one who came out to answer the question was a strange servant, who looked at Du Liyu with a smile that was not a smile, "Hey, Mrs. Gu, your brand of the House of Internal Affairs is coming, and when it's time for you, I'll go ask His Majesty for instructions." , you go back and wait."
"What did you say?" Du Liyu frowned, "Go back and wait? Do you know who I am asking to see?"
"Could it be the empress dowager?" The servant pretended to be surprised, "but the empress dowager hasn't seen any outsiders recently."
"You're so blind!" Du Liyu has been fed up with the anger for half her life these days, and she can't care about everyone's demeanor when she speaks. She spread out her greeting card directly in front of the servant , "It's really a blind eye, look carefully, but look at the honorific title of the imperial concubine!"

Gu Shi'an didn't loosen his eyebrows when he heard this, he just sighed slightly, and asked again, "I heard that Gu Yu has entered the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is it your handwriting?"
"My cousin not only guarded and stole from himself, but also embezzled the emperor's internal treasury. I didn't force my cousin to do this, did I?" Gu Huai explained one by one.
"Gu Huai." Gu Shi'an finally straightened his face, but the deep melancholy was still hidden on the brows, "As a father, I don't want to be a son." He slowly stood up and looked out the window, "For the sake of this son's position." , I really lost too much, and I have nothing left to take on this position.”
Hearing this, Gu Huai's eyes flashed, but his face remained innocent, "My son can't understand what my father said."
"I remember last time, you told me that you wanted to be the chief assistant." Gu Shi'an seemed to think of something, and his complexion looked a little better as he said, "I hope for my father, you can let go of the fetters that you shouldn't bear, and really become a chief assistant." The Chief Assistant in my heart."
After finally confirming that his father was indeed persuading him to let go of the past, Gu Huai's face finally became serious, "Father, my son is cutting off the bondage with a knife. You don't need to worry, I will let go soon."
"Is that how you put it down?" Gu Shi'an suddenly became agitated, "Take down the people in the second room one by one?"
"Father, it seems that you are not ignorant of the murderer back then." Gu Huai narrowed his eyes, "I thought I was the only one who remembered that hatred!"
"Hate? No matter how deep the hatred is, it's nothing but death." Gu Shi'an took a deep breath, "Gu Huai, don't continue, I don't want to be involved in this accident, you should stay away too. "
"Father, I have escaped for too many years." Gu Huai stepped forward and held down the imperial decree, "I don't know why you didn't investigate, or why you didn't hunt down the wicked after the investigation, but I can't tolerate it. It's been too long, I'm worried that if I don't do it again, I will forget this hatred."
This hatred is deeper than being persecuted to death.
"Gu Huai..." Gu Shi'an couldn't bear it when he saw Gu Huai whose eyes were already red, "I..."
"Hate? Then why don't you kill yourself to end this hatred!"
Suddenly, another person's voice sounded in the study. It was at the door. Shi Xinru stood there alone, with a clear expression, and she didn't look like she was ill, but the words she said were extremely vicious, "You executioner, you If he died, my son's hatred would have ended long ago!"
Gu Huai saw his mother opened her mouth, "Mother..."
"Who is your mother? I don't have a son who is a vicious murderer!" Shi Xinru walked into the room directly, her eyes were black and white, but there was a deep hatred inside, "Who knows which vicious woman gave birth to..."
"Xinru!" Gu Shi'an directly interrupted Shi Xinru, "You should take your medicine!"
"Take medicine? What kind of medicine to take? Medicine to make me forget how heartless you are and how disregarding the life and death of your own son?" Shi Xinru sneered, "Yes, it is really good medicine. After so many years, it has made me more sober Now, and I remember more and more, it was you, the little devil, who killed my Lueer!"
As she spoke, she became more and more excited, and finally couldn't control herself and rushed towards Gu Huai, "You executioner! You little devil! Why did you let Lue Er get into that carriage! Why didn't you die! Why did my Weier died so badly, but you are fine!"
"But you pay for my life!" She clasped Gu Huai's neck with both hands, and tightened Gu Huai with all her strength.
Gu Huai just stood there motionless and let Shi Xinru attack him, until Shi Xinru's hands clenched tighter and tighter, but he just looked at his mother with a pair of sad eyes.
This was the first time that Shi Xinru fully expressed her loathing for herself, the kind of hatred that really showed from the bottom of her eyes, the kind of hatred that really thought that Gu Huai was the culprit who caused Gu Lue's death, and it made Gu Huai feel for the first time, Perhaps, in the eyes of my mother, I really killed my brother.
Perhaps, brother really killed himself?
Mother was right, when it comes to revenge, she is the biggest culprit.
He smiled and closed his eyes, the dispute between Gu Shi'an and Shi Xinru seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, until the voices in his ears were all blurred, and there was a buzzing sound of tinnitus.
