As soon as these words came out, the entire Jinluan Palace was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard, and it was not that the courtiers had not heard some rumors these days.
It's just that Gu Juefei has just been entrusted with an important task by Xiao Che!
Zhao Xian didn't say a word, the emperor used his front feet heavily, and his hind feet were impeached, but he really didn't give any face!
Censor!
Speaker!
All right!
This is the real temperament and not afraid of death!
Countless people held their breaths quietly, for fear that if they made a little noise at this time, they would attract the attention of others and cause trouble.
Lu Jinxi was completely surprised.
But then, she also understood what this was going to do, and she couldn't help but feel a little more dignified.
Xiao Che's face was already very ugly.
The censor Zhao Xian has always been the one that gave him the most headaches, but the emperor can't kill the official.
So his chest heaved a little, suppressed his anger, and said, "Master Zhao impeached, why?"
"Although Gu Juefei is the third flower and the first one, came from the Hanlin Academy, and has been used by the emperor, but he has a bad character. There are rumors in the streets and alleys, all saying that Mr. Gu has an affair with the wife of the general's general's mansion. How can you take on a big responsibility at both ends of the first mouse?"
Zhao Xian didn't even look at Gu Juefei, or even Lu Jinxi.
His words, as sharp as a knife, never showed any mercy to anyone.
Gu Juefei listened and smiled.
The other person was standing in the center of the hall, in an impartial position, just in front of Zhao Xian, so he simply turned his head and listened attentively.
As if the other party was not accusing him, nor was he impeaching him.
Such an indifferent and transcendent attitude obviously caused Zhao Xian's deeper dissatisfaction. He caught his eyelids and continued: "As an official in the DPRK, ability is second, and character is first. If you have bad character, you can gain fame and reputation. Can you be gullible? These rats, who are officials in the court, will make my court disobedient to the people, and it will be difficult to benefit the people, and it will also be difficult to convince the public, which will ruin the atmosphere of my dynasty. Please, the emperor, please enlighten me!"
Xiao Che is not ignorant of the rumors about Gu Juefei and Lu Jinxi.
Although he was surprised that Gu Juefei and Lu Jinxi got involved when he heard this, it was not a big deal for the emperor at all.
Gu Juefei is just playing a nun, so it has nothing to do with his ability!
What Xiao Che lacks most now is people, and he is someone like Gu Juefei who can help him deal with the mess in front of him.
But now it's better!
No one has yet taken office, and now the big trouble, this Zhao Xian has come to impeach!
Isn't it obvious that he wants to raise a bar with him, and also wants him to cut off his right and left arms
Xiao Che didn't think about it, the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it was in his heart, but he knew that Gu Juefei was not a pure kind, so after a second thought, he simply threw the conversation to Gu Juefei.
"Gu Aiqing, Mr. Zhao said that you have an affair with the general's wife, what do you have to defend?"
Lu Jinxi, who was suddenly called by the emperor's name, raised his head subconsciously, only to feel that he was standing here, something was wrong.
Don't blame her either.
I can only blame Zhao Xian for this impeachment coming too quickly, too fiercely, and in a timely manner. When it was time for her to retire, he impeached her, so it was not good for her to retire at this time.
So happy.
Among the civil and military officials, I don't know how many people's eyes fell on her.
Especially the military attachés on the right are either Xue Kuang's old department, Xue Kuang's friends, or Xue Kuang's benefactors...
Well, the general's wife, Hong Xing, came out of the wall and the eldest son of the Grand Master's mansion, Gu Juefei, was testified by the imperial censor, Lord Zhao Xian.
OK, enough.
Lu Jinxi had already scolded this "diligent" censor in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.
Also smiling, there is Gu Juefei.
He really didn't take Zhao Xian into his eyes, let alone the current situation. As early as when he learned that all kinds of rumors about himself and Lu Jinxi were flying all over the streets, he had expected this scene.
I just didn't expect that Zhao Xian would pick the time.
Turning slightly to the side, Gu Juefei also gave Zhao Xian a bit of a thin face, so as not to make people feel that he despised this censor too much.
But the meaning is different.
He asked indifferently: "Xiaguan really has something unclear, please ask Master Zhao to clarify the confusion - what is 'selfish'?"
Zhao Xian sneered: "Those who robbed the Xiongnu Mountain were originally the wife of the general, what does it have to do with you? But later people found out that you were also in Yanchi Mountain, and you were also injured when riding with your wife. The truth wins. Yu eloquently said that you have no personal relationship with her, so ask your colleagues in the DPRK and China, whether you believe it or not!"
"Xiaguan appeared in Yanchi Mountain only because the guards in my house were also affected by the mountain bandits when they went out to do business; as for riding with my wife, it was only an expedient in times of crisis. I, let me take the ransom to save the general's wife, I can't be indifferent, can I?"
Gu Juefei explained lightly, his smile undiminished.
"What's more, is this considered 'private'?"
"What do you mean!"
Zhao Xian faintly felt that this was wrong and became vigilant.
But since Gu Juefei has already opened his mouth, the pit has naturally been dug for him, where will he have a chance to pull back
He glanced at each other with a look of indifference.
"Please also ask Master Zhao to answer a few questions for me: childhood sweethearts and childhood friends have no guesses, does it count as 'selfish'? Love at first sight, goodbye, love at first sight, does it count as 'selfish'? A man who is unmarried and a woman who is unmarried, is in love, does it count as 'selfish'?"
Zhao Xian's heart was cold, and he couldn't answer.
All he could hear in the entire Jinluan Hall was his calm and calm voice like a clear spring, echoing in this empty silence.
Gu Juefei turned his eyes, and his eyes passed over Zhao Xian, over those military officers who were staring at him with hostile eyes, and also stared at him from the side of the Grand Master, who had not said a word. Father Gu Chengqian crossed his body, and Princess Yongning, who came to watch today...
With a clear voice, he was fearless: "I am unmarried, and the general's wife lost her husband. I am willing, she is willing, is it 'selfish'?"
Of course there is no such statement in the statute.
Daxia's so-called "Women's Precepts" and "Women's Rules" and others advocated that women be widowed for their deceased husbands, but Daxia's laws did not prohibit people from remarrying!
Unless it is a widow who has an affair with someone, it is considered a violation of the law.
But right now
Could it be that Zhao Xian was asked to say that the relationship between Gu Juefei and Lu Jinxi was not only "selfish", but also developed to the point of "fornication"
joke! Do you want to tell the evidence
During the sudden change of heartbeat, Zhao Xian already knew that he was not adequately prepared, and was taken advantage of by Gu Juefei, shaking with anger: "You, you are arguing!"
"Who the hell is arguing?"
Gu Juefei has always been a good person, but maybe it was because he didn't have a good conversation with Gu Chengqian some time ago, or maybe he felt that Zhao Xian was too obstructive at the moment, and he was too lazy to save the last bit of face.
His words, his sarcasm, are more pungent than ever!
"On Yanchi Mountain, it was the situation that forced the Xiaguan to save the general's wife. If you take the words of Lord Zhao, asking me and the general's wife to be 'selfless', it is to force the Xiaguan to die and not help him, and watch his wife die in the In front of me?!"
"At that time, what should adults do to me?"
"Seeing death and not saving, is not benevolent or righteous! People who are officials want to benefit the people, and it seems that people who are greedy for life and fear death are not worthy of being officials!"
It's too easy to impeach someone.
To put it horribly, if Gu Juefei was sitting in the position of the censor, none of the court and the public, civil and military officials, including the two high-ranking assistant ministers, the Taishifufu, would be able to wear the black gauze caps on their heads. !
Killing people quietly, who was he afraid of
Gu Juefei didn't even bother to look at Zhao Xian's face, so he just asked himself: "It is within reason to give and receive, and mutual admiration is within the principle of law. Master Zhao disregards the situation in front of him, and disregards the law in the future. Fei is a 'selfish' charge, I don't know if this charge is intended to be placed on Juefei, or on the lady of the General?"
"I… "
To be honest, after the rumor spread, Zhao Xian was very sorry for Lu Jin.
But how dare you say this
That was the first order of the imperial court, the widow wife of Xue Kuang, the great general of Wuwei Township!
Even if she is really useless, just relying on the words "Xue Kuang's widow's wife" is enough to overwhelm you with morality and righteousness, and you can't lift your head and breathe!
Zhao Xian stretched out his hand to point at Gu Juefei's nose, trembled for a long time, and then spit out a hateful sentence: "You still remember that she is the wife of the general!"
"Remember, how can you not remember?"
Gu Juefei knew that he was being sarcastic, but he didn't mind at all.
"She is the jewel in Master Lu's palm, the widow of General Xue, who has raised children for Xue Kuang and has taken care of the housework. A young woman, she is in a good age. Which of the laws of the Great Summer stipulates that she must be a widow for Xue Kuang? Yes? Master Zhao, did you stipulate it? Or did you, the generals who fought side by side with Xue Kuang, stipulate it?! I am sorry that I have a bad memory, but I don't know when the rules of my Daxia were formulated by you."
"… "
"… "
Very quiet.
No one expected that Gu Juefei's rebuttal would be so bold. After all, although it was not clearly written in the law, Lu Jinxi was the widow of a hero like Xue Kuang after all.
For widowhood, it is generally the default.
Once someone wants to please this boundary, it must be pointed out by thousands of people and scolded by thousands of people!
-Who made you the widow of the general's widow
To marry a hero, you have to have this kind of mental preparation.
People think that after your husband is bereaved, raising children, running housework, and filial piety to your deceased husband is what a qualified heroic wife should do.
It's not fair, of course, but that's what everyone is emotionally inclined to do.
Now Gu Juefei is so direct, Feng Rui's words point straight to the point, it's almost like scolding the noses of those who think Lu Jinxi should be a widow!
In the Golden Palace, how long has it been such an exciting scene
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak.
The atmosphere became a little condensed and awkward.
Even Xiao Che, who was sitting on the throne, was shocked by Gu Juefei's undisguised sharp anger and bitter irony.
Seeing that Zhao Xian had been refuted, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, he coughed, attracting the attention of the ministers, and then he came out to be a peacemaker: "It seems that this debate has come to an end, Mr. Zhao, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhao Xian still had something to say, but at this time, Gu Juefei was speechless, and he clearly felt that the emperor was on Gu Juefei's side, so he had to swallow his full dissatisfaction.
"I have nothing to say."
Things should end here.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Gu Juefei actually stood up and bowed in front of the ministers, the emperor, and his father, Gu Chengqian, and said, "This minister has something to say."
Do you have anything to say? !
All the ministers who heard this were dumbfounded.
An ominous premonition suddenly popped up in Lu Jinxi's heart, but there was no way for her to speak here, and naturally she couldn't stop her, so she could only watch.
Xiao Che was also a little surprised: "What else is there for Gu Aiqing?"
The eyes of the whole hall fell on Gu Juefei, but he became more and more calm, and said: "Master Zhao's impeachment is completely unreasonable. But just from a master Zhao, you can see how the court and the public, and even the people of the world are doing. Look at the minister and the general's wife. The minister can not care about these unfair rumors, but the general's wife is virtuous, and she never did anything wrong to the general before his death.
Grand-sounding.
Once you hear it, you know how fake it is!
When he said this, I don't know how many people have secretly scolded him in their hearts, thinking that he has reversed right and wrong: Why? Because Lu Shi is indeed disrespectful to women!
It's just that they didn't dare to say it, and Gu Juefei naturally couldn't hear what they were thinking, or even if he could guess, he didn't care.
He just sighed lightly, and threw down the blasting thunder that had already been prepared—
"The root of all this is really caused by the minister, and the minister is willing to take responsibility for it. I implore the emperor to marry the minister and the general's wife Lu, so as to block the world's long speeches and rectify the name of the general's wife!"
Give, give marriage? ! !
Countless people widened their eyes, almost unable to believe what they had just heard!
Even Emperor Qing'an Xiao Che looked at him with an unbelievable look.
"Absolutely not!"
"The emperor can't!"
"Your Majesty, this—"
Almost at the moment when Gu Juefei's voice landed, three different opposing voices in the Golden Palace Hall came from three different directions, but they sounded almost at the same time!
Everyone turned their heads to look: one was the gloomy-faced imperial master of the dynasty and Gu Chengqian, the biological father of Gu Juefei, the other was the terrified aunt Lu Jinxi, the eldest Princess Yongning, and the minister of rites, Lu Jiuling, who had not yet figured out the situation...
