After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

At dawn and five drums, the Xuanzheng Palace is at the court meeting.

Gu Xiu was wearing a nine-dragon robe with a crown of flowing beads on his top, sitting upright on the nine-step high platform, without saying a word.

Under the stage, the courtiers of the two parties quarreled furiously.

Wu Yousi, Minister of the Household Department, is now forty-two years old, and originally served as the Minister of the Household Department.When the late emperor was not involved in party disputes, he was promoted after the sudden death of Zhang Zixing, the former minister of household affairs.

Cao Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was the uncle of Cao Mingshu, the deputy captain of the Forbidden Army. He was over [-] years old, and his beard and hair were already white.He has been in charge of the seal of the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years.

The two sides are now competing for one thing. The Ministry of Industry has reported that after the new year, it will add paddy fields on both sides of Gyeonggi.Since it is Masuda, it is necessary to find farmers to open up wasteland and disrupt all the land registrations originally measured by the household department.

The two parties are above the current court regarding this matter, and no one will give in to anyone if you say a word.

All parties have their own strong colleagues, and they also took advantage of the situation to quarrel.

One side said that the two wings of Gyeonggi were barren, and it was nonsense to set up paddy fields.

On the other hand, land and food are important to the people's livelihood, even if only one more bite of food can be grown, Da Zhou can live an extra life.

For a while, the entire Xuanzheng Hall was talking with ducks, and there was a lot of voices.Both sides waited fiercely for Gu Xiu, the new king who had been on the throne for more than a month, to make a decision.

Just when the ministers were excited, Gu Xiu slapped the dragon table in front of him with a solid slap.Gu Xiu's hands were so strong that the solid wooden dragon case trembled.

Everyone was arguing happily, and suddenly heard a dull loud noise from above the high platform.Everyone turned their heads in response, seeing Gu Xiu's intimidating face, they all silenced resentfully.

This was the first time Gu Xiu slapped the table since he came to the throne, and the deterrent effect was still very strong.

The court hall, which was noisy and lively just a moment ago, became quiet in an instant.

Gu Xiu leaned steadily towards the back of the dragon chair for half a minute, his eyes cast a deep glance around the two parties who were arguing just now, without saying a word.

Han Mochu was dressed in purple, held a wat in his hand, glanced sideways at the officials behind him who had just been arguing, and said in a deep voice, "My lords, is this the end of the quarrel?"

As the youngest Taifu in the history of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Han Mochu's status in the previous dynasty was the same as that of Gu Xiu, the new monarch, and he still could not be too convinced.Coupled with the fact that Han Mochu is Mr. Yi Ji's apprentice, those veteran officials who have admired Mr. Yi Ji for a long time will not be convinced.It seems that they always feel that Mr. Yi Ji would give them a few words of advice, and they should be the ones standing at the top of the hundred officials today.

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other, lifted their robes and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

"Taifu Han, you're being serious. All my dear ones are thinking about my state affairs." The expression on Gu Xiu's face didn't change, his tone was as calm as if the person who just slapped the table just now wasn't him at all.Gu Xiu supported the armrest on one side of the dragon chair, and said calmly, "Everyone, get flat."

Just now, the two ministers who were the leaders of the two parties involved in the incident took the lead in standing up flat, but their arrogance was obviously much less than that of Cai Cai.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I feel that these two ministers should have made a name for themselves in the court first, and then asked for the Holy Judgment from His Majesty." Han Mochu took a step forward and said, "In this way, in the court hall What did you take His Majesty for in a fierce dispute? Did you explain the case to you?"

As soon as Han Mochu's words came out, the two chief ministers, who had just died, their legs softened again, and they knelt down: "Your Majesty, you should die, please forgive me."

"What are you two adults doing? I'm just telling the truth." Han Mochu's eyes froze, and he raised his voice, "You two knelt down before His Majesty spoke, and put on such a look of asking for punishment. This Do you really regret it, or do you think this official statement is too serious, and you want to make a miserable appearance in front of His Majesty?"

"Han Qing." Gu Xiu interrupted Han Mochu's words, and his cold eyes fell on the two people involved: "You two lovers, if you have anything else to say, you can talk about it."

"Speak well" Gu Xiu dragged the three words slowly on purpose, each word made people feel more guilty.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have nothing to say." Cao Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said in time, lowering his upper body even lower.

"It's all right, Cao Aiqing has been in the Ministry of Industry for three dynasties, so feel free to speak up if you have anything to say." Gu Xiu's eyes were like arrows, and he shot straight at the old minister, and he raised his voice twice and emphasized: "Don't pay attention to Taifu Han. "

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were well acquainted in this official circle, and everyone could hear that Gu Xiu's words "don't bother with Taifu Han" had deep meaning.

A superficial understanding can be explained as: Today, today, and even in the future, whoever dares not to take Han Mochu seriously in the court, there will be a king who will come forward to break up with him.

"Your Majesty, the old minister really has nothing to say." Cao Zhong leaned over and replied.

"In that case, I would like to ask Cao Aiqing a few words."

"Your Majesty...you...please ask me." Cao Zhong became an official at the age of 27. After three dynasties, he has never been so guilty: "The old minister knows everything."

"I was reviewing the memorial last night, and saw a memorial from the governor of Fengzhou to build a bridge in Jiuyuan County." Gu Xiu leaned over and glanced down: "I have never seen such a memorial when I supervised the country. Can Cao Aiqing tell me why?"

"This..." Cao Zhong was momentarily at a loss for words.

Because this kind of matter should have been a matter of discussion between the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Quanzhou Magistrate. If it is not a major project at the fortress gates or the royal family is involved, the local officials report to the Ministry of Industry to repair bridges and pave roads. The Ministry of Industry should handle it by itself of.

This matter is too small to say that he is too cautious in handling things. If the king is too big to pursue him, it will be dereliction of duty.

Cao Zhong bowed his head and didn't answer, and Gu Xiu didn't urge him, instead, he shifted his gaze to Wu Yousi, Shangshu of the Household Department.

"I suddenly remembered that Wu Aiqing said a few days ago that this year's offerings are less than in previous years. Is there such a thing?"

"Return to Your Majesty, according to the records of the household department, in the past years, there are fewer." Wu Yousi's throat was dry, and he swallowed heavily.

"Then, how much less?"

"This..." Wu Yousi also couldn't answer, Gu Xiu's question was too general.The accounts of the Ministry of Households over the years are very detailed. If he had to answer them one by one, even if he had a brain made of gold, he would not be able to answer them.

"It seems that the two Aiqing's thoughts are all on these two pieces of land in Gyeonggi." Gu Xiu shook his head: "In my opinion, the two pieces of land in Gyeonggi are better cultivated than barren. Since Wu Aiqing is afraid of hard work, Then there is no need to bother the Ministry of Households to open the annual registration, and directly use these two pieces of land for military use, and the harvest will be used as military rations. What do you two adults think?"

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...Shengming!" At that moment, the two dared not argue, and knelt down to thank the emperor for his kindness.

"General Yun." Gu Xiu turned his gaze to Yun Jue, who was the head of the military officer, and said in a deep voice, "Two days later, you will go to Sinong Temple to get the documents, and send someone to reclaim the wasteland first."

"Yes, I obey the order." Yun Jue took two steps forward and bowed to receive the order.

"My dear friends, what else do you want to play?"

"Your Majesty, I still have something to say to Your Majesty." Han Mochu took a step forward, and said with a wat: "The year is approaching, and it is time for the officials to take the exam. Your Majesty has not yet observed the state mourning system in the past month. Interrogate me. I’m in court today, and since I’ve seen the person who is preparing for the position, it’s time to take this matter seriously.”

When it came to the four words "refill and reserve", Han Mochu's eyes still swept back intentionally.All the officials behind him couldn't dodge in time, they were afraid that Han Mochu's eyes would fall on someone.

"What Taifu Han said, I think it makes sense." Gu Xiu paused, and said to Liu Gongrang, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials: "Then I will thank Liu Aiqing to move the archives of the Ministry of Officials and even the performance evaluation of the three officials into the palace with me. I want to take a good look."

"Yes, Your Majesty obeys the order." Liu Gongrang, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials, accepted the order in a loud voice.

As soon as Gu Xiu finished speaking, a thin layer of sweat broke out on the foreheads of almost all the officials involved in politics.

The new emperor Gu Xiu is an emperor who was born in the army. When he was a prince, he was the head of military officials in the country and rarely got involved in political affairs.

At that time, none of the officials involved in the political situation had talked behind their backs about Gu Xiu being a martial lunatic.

As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, this little emperor is really not as simple and pure as he saw in the past.This is much better than the evil deeds that the first emperor did when he succeeded to the throne.

The army of the country, more than 170 million officers and soldiers since the king's division, all regard it as a god. Who dares to rebel?

It was also because of this that the new emperor Gu Xiu could kill any of them if he wanted to.

It was almost noon, and the court meeting in the Xuanzheng Palace ended.

Wu Yousi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Cao Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, walked out side by side. The two who had disagreed with each other in their political views had now become sympathetic brothers and sisters.One of them is a veteran of the three dynasties, and the other is a new official.That kind of dispute obviously wants to make himself a face in front of the new king.

Unexpectedly, the king didn't follow their tricks at all, and sang a red face and a bad face with the young Taifu Han, and at the end of the song, all his colleagues from the Manchu Dynasty were involved.

Only the new king can get the three consecutive official examinations.

Just now when the two of them went out of the palace together, the colleagues passing by looked at them differently, as if the king's investigation and examination were caused by the two of them.

It is clear that many of these people also handed over the papers to Xinjun and shook their wits, so why blame the two of them?

The court meeting in the Xuanzheng Palace was over, and Gu Xiu and Han Mochu directly retreated into the Nuan Pavilion.

Yuan Bao led four or five young eunuchs who were nimble and quick-witted to change and undress the two of them, replacing their regular clothes.

"Your Majesty has frightened them today." Han Mochu raised the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look at Gu Xiu.

"Really?" Gu Xiu adjusted the neckline of his robe casually: "Let's eat first, I'm very hungry."

On the small table in the cubicle, Aunt Wu has already set up the dining table.

Two meat and two vegetables, and a big bowl of broth.Simple and fragrant.

Aunt Wu's time calculation is very good, every time it happens that they finish changing and the dining table is set up.Every dish was served piping hot.

Han Mochu asked curiously once, and Aunt Wu patted her chest proudly and said, "Is there someone who is not considerate in serving the little master? Isn't that a waste of work?"

Gu Xiu and Han Mochu usually don't have anyone to wait around when they eat, and they don't talk, and occasionally put one or two dishes on each other's plates, or add a bowl of soup to each other.

No matter how you look at it, they don't look like an ordinary pair of monarchs and ministers.

"Your Majesty, it's still early, why don't you take a nap with me?" After lunch, Han Mochu, who only slept four times last night, revealed his sleepy nature.

He is not like Gu Xiu who can stay up two or three nights and still be full of energy. As long as he is not in the army or in wartime, Han Mochu's afternoon nap is unshakeable.

Only when he has a good rest at noon can he have the energy to stay up with Gu Xiu at night.

"Master, let's go to bed first. I have sent a message to Shizhong to come over and ask questions. It will take about half an hour."

***

When Han Mochu was about to wake up from his afternoon nap, he dimly saw 12-year-old little Gu Xiu walking towards him holding a stack of books.He stretched out his hand to take all the books in Gu Xiu's arms, but he reached forward and fell to the ground without thinking.

With a jolt in the dream, Han Mochu woke up.

Opening his eyes, he saw the grown-up Gu Xiuxiu sitting behind the huge desk in the middle of the East Nuan Pavilion, flipping through a note about farming season.

Gu Xiu behind the table is wearing a black brocade with dragon patterns, a golden crown and a jade belt, and there is an awe-inspiring arrogance between his sword eyebrows and tiger eyes.

The afternoon sun reflected on Gu Xiu's focused face through the exquisitely carved panes.Gradually reunited with the boy in his sleep and became one person.

Time flies so fast, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye.It seems that the person in front of me yesterday was still the little prince holding the book of war and not letting go, lighting the lamp to write strategies.

"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?" Han Mochu sat up and simply adjusted his appearance after the afternoon nap.

Gu Xiu glanced sideways at the person, closed the book in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Did I wake up Master because I turned the pages too loudly?"

When there is no one around, Gu Xiu is still used to calling him Master.

"Your Majesty has been asleep for half an hour, and it's time to wake up." Han Mochu detoured and walked behind Gu Xiu, and put his hands on the man's shoulders naturally: "Your Majesty just told me what's going on?"

"It's nothing." Gu Xiu sat upright and leaned back slowly: "It's just that I told him that I made a typo in those memorials yesterday, and asked him to find it out with me today, Send me that booklet back."

"Cough..." Han Mochu chuckled when he heard the words, "The grown-ups here are busy today."

"When the first emperor was in power, it was almost in vain. Now it's a new dynasty, and since they eat the country's salary, they don't have the reason to pamper them like that."

"At that time, His Royal Highness Duan Wang entered the province, and in just two years, he cultivated such an idle yamen to be able to stand up to King Xun. Now that King Duan has left the court, those people have begun to enjoy happiness again." Han Mochu turned to Gu Xiu's side Luo sat down, and stretched out two fingers to explore the teacup on the back of Gu Xiu's hand: "The tea is cold, I asked Yuan Bao to exchange it with Your Majesty."

"Gu Shen?" Gu Xiu snorted coldly, and called his name directly: "Liang Guogong asked me two days ago to ask his daughter to make peace with King Duan, and I have already agreed."

When mentioning King Duan Gu Shen, Gu Xiu didn't even want to say "Third Brother".

Speaking of Gu Shen, this person's city is deeper than Gu Zhi, and the things he does are more disgusting.

When fighting for Goguryeo that year, he was the one who ordered the military doctors to poison the army and almost caused a catastrophe.Military matters are above all else, if he dies outside, the Great Zhou will be in jeopardy.

The next year, when he went to Monan to patrol the border, he was also a secret agent sent to the princess, forged the princess's handwriting, and passed the handwriting to him.Gu Jin is also his sibling who grew up with him since he was a child, and he kept calling for Elder Sister Gu Jin, how could he present two masterpieces to her when she got married?How could he know what crime Gu Jin had suffered, but still conceal it and not report it, and even use it to bring down himself and Gu Yan.

Such a terrifying thought is more chilling than anything else.

Yuan Bao brought two cups of hot tea, followed by two young eunuchs, each holding a stack of yellow silk memorials in his arms, the number was obviously more than half less than the previous days.Yuan Bao acted cleverly, he never listened to the words of Gu Xiu and Han Mochu, he put down the memorial and walked out.

"Duan Wang can pretend to be disabled to preserve his strength. His heart is unpredictable. If he hadn't burned the box that day and suffered from the medicine." Han Mochu took a sip from the teacup: "The person sitting here today would also It’s really not sure who it will be.”

That year, Su Che entered the palace to get rid of the epidemic, and he had been asked by the former Concubine Shu several times to check the pulse of the chronically ill Gu Shen.It was discovered that this person had been secretly taking a kind of medicinal material called "rush grass" in order to deceive people, so as to induce coughing and asthma in the human body and make him sick.

Later, King Xie Gu Yan was defeated, and the testimony presented by Han Mochu to Cui Chong was all written with a herbal medicine called "Black Tiger Branch".

The two medicines have conflicting properties and can cause weakness in the legs. "Black Tiger Branch" caught fire!The properties of the medicine are multiplied, and it can cause permanent disability overnight.

That time was the most dangerous move Han Mo had ever made.What he gambled on was the strong sense of pride in Gu Shen's temper.

"The past few years since his legs were crippled, he has been fairly quiet." Gu Xiu picked up the topmost memorial, opened the seal, and read it carefully: "Perhaps it is because of Gu Concubine Shu, I only I hope he will do well in the future."

"For a person like King Duan, the quieter he is, the more dangerous he will be." Han Mochu also picked up a memorial without hesitation: "Your Majesty is the new king ascending the throne, just wait and see."

The second watch that Gu Xiu opened was handed over by the secretary of the court, Gu Xiu looked at it twice and his expression was wrong.When Han Mo first saw that his expression was wrong, he stopped what he was doing, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Gu Xiu didn't answer, and directly passed the notebook to Han Mochu: "I can't tell, you can read it yourself."

Han Mochu's speed of reading documents has always been very fast. Not only can he see ten lines at a glance, but he basically has a photographic memory.

The seal was handed over by Sun Tingzhao, an admonishment doctor.It is not the officials or the king who participated in the impeachment.

It was Gu Jin, Princess Qingzhao.

The content of the form was long and boring, it was nothing more than what color costume the princess Gu Jin wore today, the phoenix crown on the princess Gu Jin's head was too ostentatious, and what kind of costume the princess would put on to leave the city one day.At the end of the seal, there is also a sentence: The princess is a widow in Beijing, she should abide by women's morals, live in seclusion, and set an example for women in the country.

Han Mochu reckoned that Gu Xiu didn't have the patience to read this last sentence, otherwise this seal would have been torn apart by Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu was humiliated for Gu Jin back then, and he did not hesitate to use 50 troops to kill all the grass in Mengshi Monan, and now there is not a single seedling growing on the burned land.

Does this person surnamed Sun have no eyes or ears?He stabbed this matter openly in front of the king.Although Gu Xiu is the new king, what he cares most about by nature is the elder sister who saved him in a desperate situation.There is no big difference between this Lord Sun and directly burning his own house with a torch.

Even if he impeached Gu Xiu himself, it would be better than impeaching Princess Qingzhao like this.

Han Mochu combined the booklets he had finished reading, and before he could speak, Gu Xiu said, "Master, have you finished reading it? What do you think should be done?"

"If we talk about the post of Admonition Court, it was originally set up by Emperor Taizong of the old dynasty to supervise the imperial power and restrain all officials. Therefore, they are given the power to know what they say and not to be convicted for what they say." Han Mochu tapped his fingers His own forehead: "So now these censors dare to say anything in the court, and it seems that the higher the position of the right to correct mistakes, the more they seem to be dedicated to the country and not afraid of power. The first emperor was always rude to these officials. Didn’t the censor Zhongcheng Liu Min in the early years be punished by the court for falsely accusing His Highness? The first emperor used the officials to eliminate dissidents. After Han Ming lost power Almost all the members of Shitai have been replaced. Your Majesty is the new king, but the admonishment ministers are all veterans who have gone through several generations. These days, the courtiers are speculating about the Sacred Heart, and those admonishers naturally want to know your majesty's bottom line Where."

"I've been wondering these days, do they still know how to be an official?" Gu Xiu's face looked better than before: "Don't they feel blushing when they go to the Ministry of Officials to collect their salary?"

"Fortunately, Your Majesty has pacified the frontier a few years ago. Now that the old and the new are changing, it is time to stabilize the internal affairs and restore the people's livelihood." Han Mochu stood up and hugged him from the big box that he had brought back from the small warehouse of Guiyun Palace that day. After taking out the map of all nations, I made a space on the huge table and unfolded the sheepskin scroll. The map drawn in the past has become a little blurred, but the yearning for the richness of the territory is still shocking: "Your Majesty Do you still remember the world His Majesty wanted back then?"

"Remember." Gu Xiu stretched out his hand and stroked every inch of the land on the blueprint, once again regaining the spirit of his youth: "Chang'an Yongning, prosperity and peace."

"If you fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside." Han Mochu stood next to Gu Xiu, stretched out his hand to hold the man's wrist: "The internal affairs are stable, and all industries are prosperous. If the people are full, the country will naturally be strong."

"Yes." Gu Xiu's expression returned to normal.

"Returning to the minister, I asked Yuan Bao to hang up this picture. Your Majesty will look at it every day, and your heart will be smoother." Han Mochu patted him on the shoulder just like when he was a boy: "Your Majesty does not need Zhu to approve this book, just send it back to Shangshu Province, we should also teach the people below to know that His Majesty's red line cannot be stepped on."

***

The next day, early morning.

Gu Xiu first listened to a few local routine reports as usual, and yesterday he made a speech based on the performance appraisal of hundreds of officials in the past ten years.Compared with the previous days, today's court really stopped a lot.

The voice of the official who played the report was as low as a mosquito, which caused Ning Wang Gu You, who was rarely approaching the day, to yawn under the eyes of everyone.

This yawn shook up the spirit of the admonishing doctor Sun Tingzhao.He boasted that he had worked hard all these years, walked upright and sat upright, so he was not afraid of the king's performance evaluation.When Han Ming lost his power in the past, he was wise and protected himself, relying on his righteousness.

Yesterday, Gu Xiu didn't have Zhu's approval for his memorial, let alone summoned him with a decree.At the moment, I'm holding a lot of great principles of family, country and world in my heart.

Gu You's yawn aroused his temper.

As soon as Gu You put down the sleeves covering his face, he stepped forward to the wat board: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say."

"Sun Qing, what do you want to do?" Gu Xiu put his hands on the armrests on both sides of the dragon chair, and gently stroked the dragon's whiskers on the handles with his left fingertips: "But it's okay to say."

"Your Majesty, I see that His Majesty King Ning is disrespectful in front of the palace. Please don't turn a blind eye to it." Sun Tingzhao said solemnly.

Gu You was taken aback when he heard the words, this was the first time anyone had participated in him since he was 14 years old.He turned around and looked at the courtiers around him, all of them bowed their heads and were speechless.Inexplicably raised his head and looked at Gu Xiu, Gu Xiu on the high seat lowered his eyes and motioned him not to talk.Gu You, who was at a loss, immediately understood, and put the wat board in his hand, as if he didn't hear it.

Seeing that Gu Xiu didn't respond, the upright Sun Tingzhao continued to hold on.

"Your Majesty! His Highness King Ning has misbehavior. Although you care about brotherhood, you have to pursue this matter." That tone was so moving that it couldn't even be sung in a play.

"Lord Sun, what do you plan to ask His Majesty to pursue? Cut the title or demote?" Han Mochu, who stood in the position of chief assistant, held a wat and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Ning is His Majesty's sibling, you are so aggressive. For His Majesty to deal with His Highness King Ning, those who know it are saying that you, Mr. Sun, created something out of nothing. Those who don’t know think that His Majesty is in collusion with you and cannot tolerate your brothers."

"Your Majesty Han's words are wrong! Why did you make something out of nothing? Your Majesty is correcting your mistakes!" Sun Tingzhao glanced at his colleagues in the admonishment department, and knelt down on his knees as if inspired by the crowd: "Your Majesty , It is true that His Highness Prince Ning lost his dignity in front of his highness, and it is also true that Princess Qingzhao went out to show off, you can't even distinguish between right and wrong for a little bit of brotherhood?"

Gu Xiu's eyes on the high platform were terribly cold, and he was not angry and pretentious for the superior.Gu Xiu's majesty seems to have been brought out of his mother's womb, as long as those eyes are slightly raised, it will make people feel involuntarily terrified.

"Princess Qingzhao's ceremonial guard is like this when the late emperor was around." Gu Xiu's gaze was fixed on the veteran Sun Tingzhao: "I don't know, how did the princess show off?"

"Your Majesty, the princess has now been promoted to the eldest princess, and she should set an example for the women of the country. Since she is a widow, she should not wear colorful clothes, wear a phoenix crown, and drive through the market. A role model, a husband who does not keep his chastity after death, and passes away so ostentatiously, wouldn’t it be a violation of human ethics.”

The word "widow" was like a thunderbolt, instantly offending Gu Xiu and Gu You, the two good brothers of Princess Qingzhao.

All civil and military officials in the court noticed that Gu Xiu's expression on the dragon chair was wrong, only the upright Master Sun didn't see it.

"Then according to what you see, how should I deal with my eldest sister?" Gu Xiu's tone was so cold that it made people feel like they were in a world of ice and snow. If it had been Gu Xiu who was two years earlier, this Master Sun's head would have been long gone. Rolling all over the floor.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to make irresponsible remarks on how you will deal with it." Sun Tingzhao sincerely kowtowed upwards: "I just remind Your Majesty that royal affairs are no small matter, please learn from Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I think what Master Sun said is very true." Han Mochu glanced at Gu Xiu with a smile, and then turned to Sun Tingzhao, who was prostrate on the ground, and said, "People in the royal family should indeed set an example for the people in the world. Sun Tingzhao My lord, if you follow the royal family as an example, would you be willing to follow in everything?"

"As an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the lower officials naturally set an example by the royal family's words and deeds!"

"Well, since Mr. Sun has said so, please ask Mrs. Sun to divorce Mrs. Xuxian and several aunts at home, so that you can observe the festival for your dead wife."

"Teacher Han? You...what do you mean?" Sun Tingzhao raised his head in surprise.

"Isn't that what you said? A widowed princess should live in a simple place and keep the festival for the dead." Han Mochu held the tooth wat sideways, and smiled like a spring breeze on his face: "Master Sun, did you forget it so quickly?"

"Teacher Han, in ancient times, women kept the festival, but the lower officials were men. This man..."

"What's wrong with men? Is there anything special about men? Loyalty is originally a matter between husband and wife." Han Mochu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Co-author, the sage books you have read over the years have told you that a man's chastity Is it worth it? Or is it that other men can keep the festival for their dead wives, but you alone can't bear the loneliness, and still talk about being a man? You are a man, but you have been an official in the court for decades, why do you only see you? Food salary, I don’t see what achievements you have made?”

"This... this..." Sun Tingzhao was speechless by Han Mochu's words, and raised his hand tremblingly to try to explain something, but he couldn't say a word.

"Okay, stop arguing." Gu Xiu interrupted the conversation between the two at the right time: "In my opinion, there is no express rule in the law of my dynasty that forbids men to remarry, and there is no express rule not to And women are not allowed to remarry. This court is not a place for you to discuss the marriage of men and women. From now on, if the matters discussed in the court have nothing to do with state affairs, I will go out and stand there."

"Yes, I know I was wrong." Han Mochu smiled and apologized to Gu Xiu.

Sun Tingzhao kowtowed to Han Mochu with a hoarse voice, forgetting how to confess the crime.

"However, since I have come to this point today, I might as well say one more thing." Gu Xiu glanced around at the faces of the officials in the court: "The women of the court in our country never have to spend their lives trapped in a room. Right now, Princess Qingzhao is an unmarried woman. In this body, if she wants to get married one day, I will still choose a husband for her."

Gu Xiu's words moved a person standing under the court, and that person had been thinking about Gu Jin for almost nine years.

At noon, all the ministers dispersed.

Sun Tingzhao's head hangs lower than the two Shangshu lords who had ostentatious yesterday.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the Xuanzheng Hall, someone hugged his shoulders.

"Lord Sun, don't rush to leave. There are some things that the court has not explained today." Ning Wang Guyou roughly grabbed Sun Tingzhao's sleeve, and dragged him all the way to the bottom of the imperial steps: "What's wrong with my elder sister? Can you say that again?"

"Where did the old minister say something wrong? As a widow, Her Royal Highness shouldn't have worn fancy clothes and a phoenix crown. This...this...is against..."

Before Sun Tingzhao could finish his sentence, the wat board in Gu You's hand swung round and hit the person's forehead, and directly hit the man surnamed Sun to sit on the ground.

"You shameless old man! The little wife at home has raised a lot of children, and what are you thinking of doing while staring at my elder sister's dress? Let me tell you, my elder sister's dress is a gift from me! I gave you the phoenix crown too!" Anxious Gu You kicked her head and butt without thinking, "She just wore it! What's wrong! It's your turn to make irresponsible remarks?! Have you never seen a woman's dress or what? Dare to say that my eldest sister is a widow! Your grandma is a widow!"

Sun Tingzhao was kicked so that he leaned back and rolled several times from the imperial steps like a rubber ball. His official hat fell off and his bun fell apart.

With disheveled hair, like an old madman.

Gu You held up his robe and followed in two steps, grabbed the collar of the old man's official uniform, slapped and fisted indiscriminately, and greeted the other party's face, cursing one after another.

The prince of the country beat his courtiers in front of the Xuanzheng Hall, which was unprecedented since the founding of the country.

The courtiers who witnessed this hurriedly separated the two, one group helped Sun Tingzhao who was beaten to pieces, and the other group comforted Ning Wang Gu You who was in a rage.

The scene was once extremely chaotic.

"I'm so bored. In the past, when your father was here, you couldn't even fart in court. Now, with the title of an advising doctor, you dare to speak out! Much trouble!" Gu You, who was on the side, couldn't reach Sun Tingzhao, so he simply took off his boots and threw it at the person: "You see my seventh brother is young, and Taifu Han has a good temper, so you want to bully them? My king told you , that can't be done!"

When Gu Xiu and Han Mochu arrived, Gu You was throwing the second boot over.The second boot was thrown extremely accurately and hit Sun Tingzhao directly on the bridge of the nose, causing two streams of nosebleeds to snake down.

"stop."

Gu Xiu's deep voice came, and Gu You, who was about to throw the badge over, fell silent.Without saying a word, the servant helped him put the boots back on his feet again.

The courtiers on both sides of the fight wanted to bow and salute, but Gu Xiu raised his hand to stop them.

"Prince Ning, Lord Sun is a veteran, how can you hurt him in public?" Gu Xiu said with a serious face, but the word in public was clearly emphasized in his tone.

"Your Majesty, I know I'm wrong." Gu You shrank his neck in a very sensible manner, as if he was not the one who beat people in front of the hall just now.

"Your Majesty, please calm down, His Highness King Ning has already realized his mistake." Han Mo Chuli echoed softly.

"This is the Xuanzheng Palace, how can it be so noisy." Gu Xiu said in a blunt tone, "Prince Ning, I apologize to Lord Sun."

"Master Sun, I have offended you." Gu You rolled up his sleeves and raised his voice once more: "I can't accompany you here anymore."

Sun Tingzhao, an upright old speaker, just received a severe beating, and it was the time when he was ashamed, angry, afraid and shocked.

He originally wanted to tell the whole story in front of the king, but Gu You, the king of Ning, apologized and pleaded guilty so straightforwardly that he had no choice but to respond: "Your Highness, King Ning, that's too serious, I can't bear it."

"Sun Qing, is your injury serious?" Gu Xiu asked with concern in a low voice.

Sun Tingzhao wiped the nosebleed from his face, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I... I am fine..."

"Since Sun Qing is fine, I won't pursue it any further." Gu Xiu looked at the two streaks of blood on the tip of Sun Tingzhao's nose, and his heart seemed to ease up: "Prince Ning, this time Mr. Sun is magnanimous and careless. If you pursue it, I will fine you to pay him a hundred taels of gold for medical expenses, can you accept the punishment?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I accept the punishment." Gu You straightened his robe, walked up to Sun Tingzhao again, grabbed Sun Tingzhao's shoulders, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Sun, I will send the gold to your house in the afternoon Go up, you have to heal your wounds well."
