"See you, King Ning!"

Gu Xingge was stunned for a moment when he heard the eunuch's voice, and reflexively turned his head to look outside the palace door, and then realized that his movements were out of order, so he immediately restrained his movements and bowed to the north again.Then, he realized that the clothes on his back were soaked, and his legs were trembling slightly, but luckily, his brother was just in time.

Gu Xingge breathed a sigh of relief, and then talked about Gu Xingji.Gu Xingji traveled back and forth all the way day and night, and only slept for one or two hours a day.Finally rushed to the outside of the capital before dawn this morning, took advantage of the darkness to climb over the city wall and return to the palace.I planned to wash my face, change clothes, and then go to see my daughter-in-law and son, but I never thought that just after changing clothes, I heard an order from outside, asking him to go to the hall to receive the commander-in-chief seal!

Gu Xingji felt that this matter was not simple, so after thinking for a while, he wrote a letter and sent his confidants to the Duke's Mansion to give to his daughter-in-law.It has to be said that Gu Xingji's letter was very timely. Qu Yu had just opened and read the letter, and there were palace people outside who summoned the Duke Protector and his guards to meet him.

Shao'er looked at her little aunt suspiciously, and Qu Yu handed a purse to the palace man. "Elder-in-law, it's the first time for the little father-in-law to face the saint, let us tidy up our appearance lightly?"

The palace man weighed the weight of the purse in his hand, and said cheerfully: "You should, you should, but don't keep the emperor waiting for a long time!"

Qu Yu thanked the palace man, and went back to Shao'er's room.Because Shao'er is a listed Duke of the State, he has high-grade court clothes, and the face saint only needs to wear court clothes.This time when he entered Beijing, in order to prevent the emperor from summoning him suddenly on a whim, Qu Yu prepared court clothes for Shao'er.Qu Yu followed Shao'er back to the room, because he had something to tell Shao'er, "This time the emperor summoned you, don't be too clever. If the emperor asks me about something, just say that you will call me as soon as you remember." Uncle, I don’t know anything else, do you understand?”

Shao'er was already clever, so when Qu Yu mentioned this, he naturally thought that the identity of the little aunt had been exposed, and immediately raised his heart. "Uncle, let's not face the saint, let's run away?"

While helping Shao'er tidy up his clothes, Qu Yu said, "You're just talking nonsense, Mr. Situ didn't teach you, 'Is there no king in the world'? Where are we going to escape? Don't worry, Lord Ning has already helped us think about it. There is a good way to deal with it, you just need to pick yourself out!"

After tidying up Shao'er, Qu Yu himself changed into a decent set of clothes.Those who spread the word have already mentioned the guard of the Duke of the Kingdom. If he doesn't go, it will make some people talk more, and he will be passively inferior.

Not long after, Qu Yu and Shao Er entered the palace gate together with the messenger.The palace man who led the way asked them to wait at the foot of the steps of the hall, while he himself went to report.

Qu Yu and Shao'er waited for a while, then they heard someone shout, "Duke Xuan Hu and his guards are here!"

Qu Yu straightened Shao'er's collar again, and then followed Shao'er into the hall.King Ning, who had just sent him a letter in the morning, was also among the courtiers.Because before Longyan, both Shao'er and Qu Yu walked to the center of the hall and stopped, knelt down, and shouted long live three times.

"Aiqing is flat!" The emperor ordered the two to stand up majestically.

"Crack~!" A crisp sound suddenly sounded in the silent hall.Then a middle-aged man hurriedly came forward to make a confession, "Your Majesty, forgive me, the old minister is disrespectful!" This man is the father of the Zhang family's sister-in-law, and so is Mr. Fan!

The emperor frowned, how could several generations of Fan family officials make such a low-level mistake, disrespectful in front of the palace?Ninety-nine percent are intentional.The emperor didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but Master Fan said again: "My minister is guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

It seems that it must be said!The emperor said perfunctorily: "Fan Qing's family has been an official for many years, and I will not pursue it if I make a small mistake occasionally. I will not make an example!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." If you really made a mistake accidentally, the emperor said so, and you should return to the team as soon as possible. It's just that I was frightened when I saw the little girl's sister-in-law go up to the hall."

Women are not allowed to enter the imperial court, which is an unbreakable rule in all dynasties.Wu Dynasty is no exception.Lord Fan suddenly said such a sentence, this matter is not trivial!

Sure enough, the emperor frowned, sister-in-law?woman? "What do you mean by the Qing family, tell me clearly!"

This is all in Mr. Fan's calculations. He said he must say it, but he just pretended to be embarrassing.After all, this is injustice for his in-laws and grandchildren, and it will damage his benevolent reputation!However, it was just for show, Lord Fan told the emperor in detail after a while.

The emperor was furious after hearing this!This is the crime of bullying the king! "Boldly making trouble for the people, you are guilty!"

Qu Yu knelt down and kowtowed calmly before saying: "Your Majesty Qizuo! The grass people are not guilty!"

"Bold! Could it be that Fan Qing's family has falsely accused you?"

"Your Majesty, what Master Fan said is not false, but it is too one-sided. It is a one-sided statement. Moreover, after Caomin returned to Beijing with the Lord, the Fan family sent people to the Duke's mansion many times, and even Lord Fan came in person. Greetings, Lord Fan already knew the identity of the grass-roots people, why did he act disrespectfully in the hall?" Although Qu Yu was kneeling, his spine was straight, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant.

The emperor admired Qu Yu's attitude, and looked at Master Fan upon hearing this.

Master Fan didn't expect Qu Yu to bite back.He did not hide the fact that he had been to the Duke's Mansion, many people have seen it, it is natural to deny it now, but Master Fan has been in the court for many years, how can he be troubled by such a trivial matter? "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have seen you in the Duke's Mansion... in men's clothing to entertain guests, but I just thought it was for the convenience of traveling outside. After all, the situation of the Zhang family is special! I never thought that she would dare to come to the main hall, so I came here. Dishonored in front of the palace."

Qu Yu kowtowed again, "Your Majesty, Caomin is a man. The soldiers of the Aiding North Army can testify, the soldiers of the Northwest Army can also testify, and Zhao Yuansheng and Master Zhao can also testify!"

"Since you are a man, why did you become the daughter-in-law of Erlang Zhang?" The emperor stopped looking at others, and asked himself what he was interested in.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this matter is a long story. Cao Min was Erlang from a good family. He was abducted by kidnappers and sold into a juggling troupe because he was young. The bandit took Caomin captive to the mountain because of the inconvenience of male and female. Later, he found that Caomin was a boy, and was very angry. But he didn't want to lose his profit, so he sold Caomin as a girl to the Qin family as a child bride. Later, the Qin family also found Caomin It's a man, and in order to make up for the shortfall, the daughter-in-law of the Qin family married Cao Min into the Zhang family as her niece!" Qu Yu paused at this point, "Cao Min was young, and worried about being sold or beaten again, so he concealed it. Later, the emperor favored the Zhang family, and the grass people also got blessings, and the grass people told the old lady of the Zhang family about this time in fear of accidents."

"The old lady also knows about this?"

"Frightened by Tianwei, the grass people dare not hide anything. The old lady was very angry when she heard about it, but she felt sorry for the grass people's suffering at a young age, and said, "The hero doesn't ask where he came from. Once he enters my Zhang family, he is my Zhang family." My Haoerlang!' So he accepted the grass-roots as the righteous grandson. In this matter, Xu Hanzheng, Mr. Xu, can be the witness. Because the grass-roots are men, they cannot receive the reward of the imperial order, and the grandmother of the righteous has repeatedly asked to resign the reward to the grass-roots, but I haven’t received any reply until my grandmother returned to the west.” Qu Yu finished speaking half-truthfully, then knelt on the ground and waited for the emperor to continue questioning.

The emperor didn't ask him again, but instead, "Yousi, have you ever received a letter from Mrs. Zhang's family?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a matter, and the minister has already transferred it to the Ministry of Rites according to the regulations!" Immediately, someone came out to answer the emperor's question.This person is a member of the fourth prince, and during Qu Yu's speech, he had already received a signal from the fourth prince to admit this unfounded thing.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, our department has not received any petition from the old lady of the Zhang family!" This is a member of the Ministry of Rites, who is also from the line of the eldest prince.Of course, the scapegoat is for the enemy to take the blame!

"Your Majesty, our department has registered all the above forms for delivery, and I can check which adult signed for it." The previous lord said convincingly. If Qu Yu knew that this matter was not true, he really thought that grandma wrote it. What watch do you have?As for the adults who dare to say that, there must be backers, so there is no need for Qu Yu to worry about these.

The emperor didn't intend to pursue the matter, so he waved his hand and asked the two adults to return to their respective positions. The bodyguard is Qu Cai, I wonder if you have ever thought about joining the army and serving the country? I can promote you in an exceptional way!"

Qu Yu kowtowed, "Cao Min thanked His Majesty for your kindness. Cao Min received a lot of favors from his righteous grandmother. Before she died, her righteous grandmother asked Cao Min to protect the Duke of the country from growing up safely. If Cao Min went to make contributions and forget her righteous grandmother's instructions, it would It is ungrateful, so... the grass people are ashamed of their love for His Majesty!"

Lord Fan, who was still kneeling on the side, did not expect such a twist. He hadn't gotten used to it yet, "Your Majesty! This, this is a one-sided statement from this person. Your Majesty must not be fooled by this treacherous person!"

The emperor just felt very humiliated when he was rejected by Qu Yu, and someone suddenly jumped out to find him unhappy, and said very unhappy, "What else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, after the offender Xu Hanzheng was dismissed, he was hired by the old lady as a gentleman to enlighten the Duke. It is very clear what happened to the Zhang family during this time. Your Majesty might as well invite someone here to ask you to find out." Lord Fan If he used his trump card, he must convict Qu Yu of deceiving the emperor, then the second prince must be guilty of negligence, and it is unknown whether the tiger talisman he just got can be kept warm!

The emperor was already bored, but out of face, he didn't want to be criticized for being unfair, so he complied with Master Fan's wishes and recruited Xu Hanzheng to the palace.Xu Hanzheng confirmed that Mrs. Zhang had indeed accepted Qu Yu as her adoptive grandson, and also said that her daughter-in-law's betrayal would damage her reputation.

Previously, a secretary said that there was a record of the old lady's listing, but now Xu Hanzheng said that there was no such thing.Someone must have lied!If Qu Yu insisted on this, there must be such a thing, but Xu Hanzheng didn't know about it, and the emperor couldn't do anything about it.However, Qu Yu lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, Caomin is willing to accept the crime of deceiving the emperor, but the Duke is still young, and these things are not clear, Caomin begs to bypass the Duke!"

The painting style suddenly changed, and everyone was stunned...
