The evidence collected by Emperor Zhengyuan was divided into several parts, part of which was naturally the confessions of people from the ocean-going ship line, and several people who had an impression of Gu Ye were escorted to Beijing.
The other part is the confession of the pier vendors in Hanshan Town. According to their descriptions, a portrait of Gu Ye, who was three or four years old at the time, was drawn, and the vendors who testified were all signed and deposited. It shows that they are not rhetoric, but to take responsibility.
There is a big difference between the current Gu Ye and the appearance in the portrait when he lost, but if there is a portrait of three or four years old in the middle, it will be perfectly connected, and you will know that it is one person at a glance.
The last part is naturally the evidence that Gu Yin and Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked hard to make a living in Hanshan Town. This part is not for others to see, but for Emperor Zhengyuan himself.
If it was someone else who adopted Gu Ye, such as Feng Yuan, Duke of Lu, Emperor Zhengyuan would kill him with suspicion.
However, in the Wu family, the father and son of the Wu family believed in the righteousness of Emperor Yuan, especially when the father and son thought that the Wang family was gone. One was seriously injured when he heard the bad news and suffered a stroke and almost lost his life. After Gouquan died, he became a The disabled person, the imperial doctor sent by Emperor Zhengyuan before said that Wu Zhong was depressed, and he was afraid that he would not have a few years to live. The other was depressed and lonely for several years, from a high-spirited general in the past to a taciturn appearance later.
The tragic appearance of the father and son is still vivid in my mind. If the Wu family father and son can have this scheming, it will take several years to perform.
What's wrong with this plan? The current throne is not in the hands of Emperor Zhengyuan.
And if they were all so scheming, would Gu Ye let him go wild after he went to Beijing
Even if they really let him walk around, they don't know how to change his age
A six-year-old child is said to be seven or eight years old. Most people know the previous situation of their family, and they will not doubt it. They will only think that the situation in his family was difficult in the past, so the child did not grow well.
Can the old lady see Gu Ye for the first time and guess that he is her eldest grandson when she comes back
Shouldn't we keep that child and slowly figure it out
Emperor Zhengyuan believed that he could not succeed in writing or martial arts, but he still had his own set of skills when looking at people. So he didn't suspect the Wu family, but it was time for someone to check it together.
He didn't let him down. Back then, Wang Shi and Gu Yin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were indeed there because of fate. It was also a coincidence that Gu Ye was adopted. This little brat was only close to Gu Yin on the pier!
A year later, Emperor Zhengyuan came to the court for the first time, and he left Wu Qingyi after the court.
…
After Wu Qingyi came out of the palace, he returned directly to the British government.
Gu Yin didn't go to eat for heaven today, and Gu Ye didn't go to Gu's boat trip outside the city.
Both of them stayed in the main courtyard and were planning for Gu Ye to go to school after the new year.
"Tomorrow is the sixth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Wen and the others should all be free. I'll take you and Wu An tomorrow, and discuss your enrollment." Gu Yin wrote the ceremony and said, "Before the Shangyuan Festival I'll prepare a bundle for you."
Gu Yemu had a small face, although he had already said it before, but when it came time to go to school, he was still not happy.
Wang usually cherishes him the most, but when it comes to studying, she is not confused, she only says: "Xiao Ye study hard, and let the cook cook delicious food for you at home!"
Wu An also followed and comforted him: "Actually, reading is not tiring, and the new Mr. Mu is also very friendly, knowledgeable, and can do everything. When he lectures, he quotes scriptures, which is interesting. And he can take breaks every five days. Mu Yiyi is much looser than an ordinary school!"
No matter how interesting the lecture, can it be more fun than outside? Besides, taking a rest day for five days or something, it was really not tempting for Gu Ye to be playing outside all the time, but it made him feel like he was in prison.
Gu Ye looked at his mother pitifully, "Is that only half a day every day? I'm the owner of a boat line now, so I'm busy!"
Gu Yin stopped writing, "How do I remember that our ship's documents are all down, the guys are recruited, and the crew is also trained by your uncle's people?"
Gu Ye was speechless, just as Wu Qingyi came back, the little guy condemned him with his eyes - why did you tell your mother everything? !
On a normal day, Wu Qingyi couldn't help laughing. He was so worried that day, he didn't say anything after sitting to the side.
Gu Ye didn't look at him anymore, scratched the back of his head and said, "Then I'm still writing dramas! "The Love and Flow" sings until the end of the first month. If you don't write a new drama, who will advertise for your mother?"
"It's okay not to advertise, now Light Food Yashe is doing it." Gu Yin said.
Although the status of women is not as good as that of men nowadays, it is still women who are in charge of the central feed in the family.
Qingshi Yashe is the most popular in the women's circle. During the Chinese New Year, if you want to go out to a restaurant to entertain relatives and friends, the female guests of Yashe will naturally put food as the first choice.
Of course, the business on the first and second floors is so good now, mainly due to the popularity of "The Merry".
So Gu Yin was actually teasing him. Seeing his face collapsed again, she couldn't help laughing: "Well, I won't tease you, anyway, I don't expect you to take the imperial examinations, and I don't need to wait for Master Wen's approval. Half a day is half a day!"
Only then did Gu Ye start laughing, and he leaned over to his mother's side, and a belly of rainbow farts was about to come.
Gu Yin covered his mouth and said, "You can save it. The ugly words come to the fore, although it only takes half a day, but you still have to write your homework. If the teacher says that you are not good at studying, then you can learn the same way as Wu An. All day."
"I must study hard!" Gu Ye rubbed his face on his mother's shoulder flatteringly. If there was a tail on the back, it would definitely be shaking now.
After discussing this matter with the little brat, Gu Yin turned to look at Wu Qingyi and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
He has two jobs outside, and he can be considered a daily manager, but he rarely brings his emotions home.
Wu Qingyi nodded, Gu Yin saw that he had something to say, and was about to let the two children go out first.
Wu Qingyi opened his mouth and said, "Ono stayed, this matter has something to do with him."
"Then Wu An also stay." Gu Yin got up and asked the servants at the door to retreat to the corridor, and closed the door again.
Wu Qingyi relayed to the family what Emperor Zhengyuan had said to him.
Before Wu Qingyi said that the matter had something to do with Gu Ye, Gu Yin and Mrs Wang thought it was Gu Ye who caused trouble outside.
The little guy hurriedly smiled and waved his hands, saying that he had been obedient recently and never caused anything!
The Wang family is already working on the draft, and wants to start with "New Year's Day" to help the eldest grandson to plead for mercy.
After listening to Wu Qingyi talking, the whole family couldn't laugh, they were all frightened by this thunderous news.
At the back, Wu Qingyi took out two portraits and put them together.
Gu Yin and Wang Shi naturally remembered what the cub looked like when he was first adopted. Looking at the portrait of him when he was two or three years old, compared with his current appearance, it was natural to have nothing to say.
"I was the one who was ordered to find Xiaoye at that time, but I didn't expect to go round and round at home." Wu Qingyi sighed.
Wang Shi also sighed and said, "It's my fault too. Earlier, I only told you that Xiao Ye was adopted, and I didn't say the specific process."
Back then, when Gu Ye was eating like a stray cat on the dock, Wang Shi and Gu Yin were both heartbroken.
When they got along with each other later, Gu Ye finally forgot all the hardships in the past, and even the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not want to mention that past, for fear of touching the scene.
When everyone mentions the tragic condition of the child in those days, isn't this like rubbing salt on the child's wound? Neither Gu Yin nor Wang Shi could do such a thing. They only told Wu Zhong and Wu Qingyi that the child was adopted, and didn't mention anything else.
Wu Qingyi shook her head, "Even if my mother said it, I wouldn't necessarily think it was such a coincidence."
At that time, he knew that the child had been lost by someone from an ocean-going ship, and he led the people to look for it along the way. The number of piers he found was not a hundred, but fifty. The world was very chaotic outside, and the little beggar didn't know how many people were. In those piers, who would have thought that the child would be left at the pier where Wang and Gu Yin set up a stall? Just got them adopted.
"Then your Majesty wants to recognize Xiaoye back now?" Gu Yin embraced Gu Ye and asked aloud.
Wu Qingyi nodded, "The one who kidnapped Ono was the person from the Ocean Shipping Line. The person in charge of the operation fled south with those people in the past, and now they have been arrested, and these people will be escorted to Beijing later. What Your Majesty means is that they His confession and portraits can testify for Ono, but it would be too much trouble in the future, so he said to the outside world that Ono asked me to find him back then, but he was not in good health and was condemned by the minister, so he was first fostered in our family."
Those evidences are only one level. The British government's protection for Gu Ye is the second level. Under the two-level protection, no one will dare to doubt Gu Ye's bloodline in the future.
"Tomorrow morning, Ono will enter the palace with me."
After saying this, everyone was speechless.
If Gu Ye was a child of an ordinary family, even if his parents were to find him, the two families could still come and go as if they were relatives.
But if it is the royal family, who would dare to climb relatives with the royal family? Especially since ancient times, underage princes have lived in the palace, which means that they will be separated from him.
This separation will have to wait for him to leave the palace and build a mansion when he is a teenager.
If he was crowned the prince, he would have to live in the East Palace, and he wouldn't be able to see him anytime he wanted!
Everyone's faces were not very good. Even the most ardent Wang Shi couldn't help crying softly when he thought of being separated from his eldest grandson. Gu Yin also clung to Gu Ye's hand.
Gu Ye kept his head down and listened. Hearing the cry of his milk, the little guy raised his head and said with a smile, "Why are you crying? I'm the prince! How amazing!"
His eyes blushed as he spoke, and he wiped it with the back of his hand indifferently, "I used to think that I was thrown by my parents, but it turned out that I was just kidnapped. Now I have several more relatives! Yes! Good thing!"
Such a sudden change, even ordinary adults can't bear it, but at a young age, he persuaded everyone in turn.
Gu Yin was soft-hearted and ironic, and followed: "Well, Ono still thinks clearly."
Gu Ye gave a nasal "um" and smiled again: "How wonderful, I don't have to go to Wen's house to study!"
Gu Yin burst into laughter, "It's the prince who wants to study even more, and he has to go to the study before dawn!"
"Haha, that's it." Gu Ye laughed, "I didn't even understand when I was a prince for the first time. Haha..."
He had a small white face, and his big eyes were full of tears, which made Gu Yin's heart twitch.
That afternoon, Wu Qingyi didn't go to work, and Gu Yin didn't go to eat for heaven, so they stayed at home to accompany Gu Ye.
It's just that the family used to have endless things to say when they stayed together, but today everyone is much silent. Only Wu Qingyi introduced him to the composition of the royal family.
In the evening, after the evening meal, Gu Yin naturally took Gu Ye to sleep together.
The two washed up and lay on the same bed.
Facing his mother, Gu Ye didn't laugh anymore, but whispered in her arms: "I used to think that I was so old, and I wanted to sleep with my mother, and let others know that I would laugh. If I knew earlier, I would laugh. I can only stay with my mother for so many years, I am sure that I will depend on my mother every day."
Gu Yin put her arms around his small body and patted him on the back, "There are no outsiders, tell the truth to my mother, are you happy to find your family?"
Gu Ye nodded slightly in her arms, "Happy. But I don't remember anything from when I was a child. They were like strangers to me, and they might get along with each other. But... "
He sobbed, "But if I don't have to be separated from mother, grandma, Wu An, and everyone, it would be fine."
Gu Yin also sighed and told him, "Mother doesn't understand what's going on in the palace, but don't be afraid when something happens. Mother, your uncle, and your grandmother are all outside, do you know?"
"Understood." Gu Ye nodded again, "The boat line is all busy, it doesn't matter who it is in the name, I will change the names of those deeds when I have time. I forgot to inform him today. Mother, let me know. I should not be able to write new dramas. I know that my mother has the best solution for business matters. But don't be too tired, if you encounter difficulties I'm going to ask my uncle to send me a message when he enters the palace, he is a prince, and I will handle everything for my mother."
Every time he said a word, Gu Yin should say "yes".
After speaking for a long time, he didn't say anything. Gu Yin thought he was asleep, and looked down, only to find that he was crying silently with his eyes closed.
Noticing her gaze, Gu Ye buried his head deeper, and finally whispered, "My uncle is actually a good person. After I leave home, my mother can have another child."
"You bastard." Gu Yin patted his little butt, "are you still worried about this?"
Speaking of Gu Yin reaching out to scratch his itch, Gu Ye giggled with tears.
After crying and making trouble, he fell asleep after a while.
Gu Yin didn't sleep anymore.
Thinking back to the time when I first met Gu Ye, I just thought he was pitiful. The situation at home was much better than before, and he was kept at home as much as he could eat.
What did she know at that time? Seeing how the Wang family treated Wu An, she would take care of him in the same way.
In a blink of an eye, the cub was pulled so big.
Compared with separation, she was more worried about Gu Ye's future - Queen Zhou already had a second child, and her eyes were more important than her eyes. The little guy is extremely possessive, knowing that his biological mother gave birth to another child when he was lost, it must be uncomfortable.
Not to mention, the royal family is inseparable from the matter of seizing the heir.
Would Queen Zhou like the children behind him to go over him? Will the Feng family be willing to come up with a eldest prince
The piles and pieces are beyond Gu Yin's ability, so he can only take a step by step.
Early the next morning, while Gu Ye was asleep, Gu Yin helped him get dressed.
Wang Shi, Wu Zhong and Wu An quietly came to see him.
When Wu Qingyi came over, everyone didn't call him, but handed him into Wu Qingyi's arms.
Wu Qingyi hugged him at the back, and the Wang family took a cloak to wrap his head around him.
In this quiet atmosphere, Wu Qingyi carried Gu Ye into the carriage.
As soon as he got to the carriage, Gu Ye, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes.
"Let's go, uncle." He resisted the urge to probe out and smiled at Wu Qingyi.
…
Gu Ye entered the palace for the first time. After the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, he didn't want Wu Qingyi to hug him. He got off the carriage with his legs on, and looked around along the palace road.
Having sent him to the vicinity of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Wu Qingyi stopped, squatted down and said, "Your Majesty likes straight people, you must remember."
As he spoke, he patted him on the back again, "You remember our family is here, and I will be on duty in the palace recently. Don't be afraid, go ahead."
Gu Ye nodded vigorously.
Qian Sansi had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, and when he saw them coming, he immediately greeted them with a smile, "Your Highness, follow the servants in, your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and the Empress are waiting for you!"
Gu Ye smiled at him, "Thank you father-in-law."
Qian Sansi was busy and said he didn't dare.
Gu Ye waved at Wu Qingyi again, and followed Qian Sansi in.
Don't look at Gu Ye's face looking calm, but in fact his palms are wet.
He knew that the emperors of the new dynasty were different from the previous emperors, but he didn't quite understand how they were different. Just think about the phrase "accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger" in the mouths of storytellers or in dramas.
He stabilized his mind, took a deep breath, and went in.
Thinking that the previous night Wang said that the grandma he had seen before was the queen mother, Gu Ye looked at her first with his eyes.
Seeing the empress dowager's kind-hearted appearance, Gu Ye's heart was relieved, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe beside her, Gu Yeren was dumbfounded, "Uncle Lu, why are you?"
Both Emperor Zhengyuan and the Queen Mother laughed, especially the old lady who couldn't close her mouth with laughter, and waved at him and said, "Come on, good boy."
There were a total of three people in the hall, and both of them knew each other, especially Emperor Zhengyuan was very familiar with him. Gu Ye was really not nervous, and trotted forward.
The queen dowager felt a little sweaty when she touched his hand, so she put the hand stove in her hand to him.
Gu Ye held a cloisonné enamel stove in his two little hands. He first thanked the Queen Mother, then turned to look at Emperor Zhengyuan, "Uncle deceived me so badly."
Emperor Zhengyuan laughed. He deliberately didn't tell Wu Qingyi that he had seen Gu Ye, and was just waiting now.
This little monkey, who knows he has been deceived, is angry and wants to laugh, but he has to keep his face straight, forcing himself not to laugh.
After laughing, he said, "What's wrong? I charged you so much money in front of me, but I sent several Hanlin bachelors to help you write the playbook. Although I lied to you, didn't it benefit you?"
Gu Ye said "Hi", leaning into the Queen Mother's arms and said, "I said why someone sold me a playbook worth five hundred taels for only five taels of deposit!" He shook the Queen Mother's face lightly again. Hand, "Grandma, he bullies children!"
The Queen Mother was so soft that she could pinch the water, and immediately raised her hand at Emperor Zhengyuan, "Good boy is not angry, the milk will beat him for you!"
Because there were no other palace servants in the palace, Emperor Zhengyuan also held his head exaggeratedly and said, "What do you mean by mother, you want a grandson instead of a son, right?"
The Queen Mother laughed so hard that she didn't even remember the last time she laughed like this.
After laughing for a while, the Queen Mother pushed Gu Ye to the other side.
Queen Zhou was watching him cry silently.
Emperor Zhengyuan has worked hard from a few years ago to the present, and Queen Zhou has finally been able to talk to him recently.
The night before, he found a time when Empress Zhou was in a good mood, and finally showed all the evidence to Empress Zhou.
Queen Zhou didn't sleep all night, for fear of waking up and discovering that it was a dream.
The moment he saw Gu Ye, he finally understood that although there was no evidence for what Emperor Zhengyuan said earlier, he thought it was him.
Empress Zhou grabbed the front of her chest and cried out of breath: "I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't have taken you out when I was washing clothes, I haven't taken care of you... They said they found you, what evidence do I need, I can't believe it..."
If Gu Ye was not doing well in front of him, he might resent them. But although he wandered for a while, but now he doesn't remember much of what happened at that time, and he lived happily afterward, but Empress Zhou's turbulent tears made him a little at a loss.
"Don't cry," Gu Ye tried hard to organize his words, "Uncle Wu told me that I was kidnapped by kidnappers. Those people's tactics are hard to prevent, and I can't blame you. Am I not doing well now? "
Although Gu Ye had no impression of her anymore, he still felt very close to Queen Zhou. So he took the handkerchief she had and wiped her tears as he spoke, "Crying too much has bad eyes."
Empress Zhou grabbed his little hand, it was warm and soft, and the unreal feeling disappeared.
At this time, Qian Sansi came in to pass the news, saying that the little prince had woken up from sleep, and he couldn't see Queen Zhou crying, and a few grandmothers could not coax him well, because they were afraid that he would cry badly, so they could only send news here.
Empress Zhou subconsciously got up. Just as she was about to lift her foot, she realized something was wrong. She looked apologetically at her eldest son who had reunited after a long absence.
Gu Ye said in a proper manner: "You go, I can save it."
"Good boy. Will you come with me to see your brother?"
Gu Ye turned to look at Emperor Zhengyuan and the Queen Mother, and with their permission, he followed Queen Zhou to Kunning Palace.
There, Gu Ye met the little prince Lu Zhao for the first time.
In Gu Ye's opinion, he is a very old child, but he can't speak or walk, and it's very strange that he has to be hugged and coaxed.
But he didn't say anything, Queen Zhou gave him a toy, and he played with Lu Zhao.
Up to ten years old, down to one or two years old, there are no children who are not good at Gu Ye.
What's more, the two are brothers.
Lu Zhao quickly fell in love with this brother whom he met for the first time, unlike before, who only had Queen Zhou alone.
While the brothers were playing, Queen Zhou watched lovingly from the side, asking Gu Ye something from time to time.
She asked Gu Ye and answered, but she didn't say anything bad, she just picked up the words that wouldn't make her cry.
Playing until noon, Queen Zhou asked about his taste and asked the imperial kitchen to prepare meals. Seeing that both of their brothers had eaten, Queen Zhou hadn't slept all night, and now she can't stand it anymore.
Gu Ye waited until she and Lu Zhao slept together before leaving Kunning Palace and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The Hall of Mental Cultivation is usually like an iron barrel, and Concubine Feng can't enter, but Gu Ye can come and go freely.
Emperor Zhengyuan was handling official business. When he saw him coming, he asked with a smile, "Have you seen your brother?"
Gu Ye murmured vaguely, and Emperor Zhengyuan took out another waist card and a document, saying that everything on it was for him.
As for his identity, he would have to wait for the people from the ocean-going ship line to be escorted to Beijing. He issued an imperial decree to declare to the world, and then let the Qin Tianjian find a good day and sue the Taimiao.
A series of arrangements are also in the document, which cannot be explained in a few words. If you have any unsatisfactory or other requirements, you can mention it.
Gu Ye responded again, tied his waist card to his belt, glanced at the document, and put it in his arms.
Emperor Zhengyuan had all the official documents that he had accumulated years ago, and he really didn't have time to accompany him, so he said to him: "I have been busy for two days to accompany you. Today, you will go to the Cining Palace to accompany your grandmother. Take a break early."
Gu Ye responded and was taken by Qian Sansi to the Cining Palace.
The queen dowager's way of pampering children is exactly the same as that of the Wang family, that is, stuffing children with food and money. In addition, the Queen Mother was not used to being served in the palace, so the grandparents and grandchildren stayed, and Gu Ye was much more relaxed, coaxing the Queen Mother all afternoon without stopping to laugh.
In the evening, the Queen Mother thought that he got up early and let him rest.
After Gu Ye came out of the Cining Palace, he walked faster and faster according to the route in his memory, and finally turned into a trot, running all the way to the palace gate, and then he stopped.
After standing for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Ye walked back dejectedly.
Unconsciously, he walked to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Emperor Zhengyuan finally finished his official business. When he saw the little guy coming back, Emperor Zhengyuan was stunned: "Why are you being so polite? Didn't I just let you rest after your grandmother? Don't use it to salute me."
Gu Ye scratched his head and said, "No, I don't know where I live yet!"
Emperor Zhengyuan was even more strange, "Isn't it all written in the documents for you?"
Gu Ye blushed and said, "I don't know how to read!"
Emperor Zhengyuan was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he almost spit out a sip of tea, "Don't you look like a playbook?"
The blood-related family wants to get along for a long time in the future, so Gu Ye naturally stopped pretending and said, "I lied to you too, I don't understand at all."
The father and son lied to each other, and Emperor Zhengyuan couldn't say anything.
Emperor Zhengyuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Monkey cub, I have let you lie! You live in the palace outside the palace first, in the mansion next to the British palace."
