Seeing him losing his temper, Eunuch Chi thought that he would definitely not want to see Ji Daogong and others.
Just as he was about to say something, Ning Chengzhi suddenly got up from his seat, with a vicious look on his face, "Come on, bring these old ministers to me, I will definitely scold them severely!"
"Catch... catch it in?"
Eunuch Chi couldn't believe his ears. Mr. Ji Daogong was the most respected and respected veteran in the court, and Mr. Chen Ge was still the second assistant to the cabinet. Can such an identity be caught
What's more, there is the one who is...
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, if I tell you to arrest me, you will arrest me. Hurry up!"
When Ning Chengzhi gave an order, the Imperial Forest Army guarding the imperial study immediately stepped forward to arrest Ji Daogong and others. Everyone was shocked, knowing that Ning Chengzhi would not want to see them, but they did not expect to do it directly.
This is not even wanting to maintain face.
"Who dares to do it?!"
Yu helped Ji Daogong, "What mistake did we make to be arrested? As the royal guards, don't you know that you are only foolish and loyal but not righteous?"
The soldiers of the Royal Forest Army did not dare to step forward, and they were a little worried about asking them to arrest veterans like Ji Daogong, let alone Princess Zhenjiang standing in the front in person
Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and everyone in the Manchu Dynasty can be provoked, but this eldest princess can't be provoked, she is a person who dares to beat even His Majesty for a disagreement.
Ning Chengzhi wandered in the hall angrily. He didn't see Ji Daogong and others being escorted in for a while, and shouted outside: "Where are people? Don't arrest them yet!"
"Who does His Majesty want to arrest?"
It was a woman's voice that answered him, Ning Chengzhi was taken aback for a moment, only to see Yufu Qianqian walking from outside the hall, Ji Daogong and others followed behind her.
He was taken aback, "Yufu, why are you here? No one told me, this..."
He looked at Eunuch Chi, who had a bitter face, "Your Majesty, this servant just wanted to tell you that you are interrupting me in a fit of anger, and this servant has no chance to say it!"
Ning Chengzhi wished he could pull Eunuch Chi out and chop him up.
Did he stop talking if he had no chance to say it
If he had known that Yu Fu was outside, he would at least pretend to be courteous to these veterans, how could he lose his temper and try to arrest them
Now it's all right, Yu Fu persuaded him, and he fell down in front of her even worse.
He immediately put on a flattering smile, "I was just angry for a while, thinking that some old ministers were going to sing against me again, so I just frightened you. Sit down, sit down and talk!"
After everyone saluted and just sat down, Yu Fu supported Ji Daogong to sit in the position closest to the head, but he himself sat next to Ning Xuan and Chen Chuxiu.
She didn't treat herself as a noble eldest princess, but treated herself as a junior in front of respected veterans.
Ning Chengzhi had an indescribable feeling in his heart, feeling that Yufu's words and deeds made him despicable, like a foolish king.
He felt uncomfortable, and when he was about to speak, Ji Daogong stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I heard that the eldest son of the Gu family died in battle and the second son was imprisoned. Gu Houye vomited blood anxiously because of this. Your Majesty, has the Dali Temple found evidence of the crime of collaborating with the enemy in the Gu family?" Is it? If not, please put the Second Young Master back."
Elder Chen Ge also stood up and cupped his hands, "I agree with you, Lord Gu has worked hard for many years in battle, if there is no conclusive evidence, how can he directly imprison the second son?"
Ning Chengzhi snorted coldly, "If there is conclusive evidence, it is Gu Hou who is now imprisoned in Dali Temple, not Gu Jiuge! I think Gu Shubai was not forcibly detained for the sake of Gu Shubai's death in battle. Mercy, what else do you guys have to say?"
When he was speaking, his gaze was cast on Yu Fu's body vaguely.
Yu Fu watched her nose, nose, and heart. The elders and officials were talking, but she chose not to interrupt, but just listened silently.
Both Ning Xuan and Chen Chuxiu saw what Ning Chengzhi meant. He was observing Yufu's thoughts, and he still wanted to force Yufu to agree to the queen's move by suppressing Guhou's mansion.
Especially after Gu Shubai died in battle.
The two of them have always been known as dudes, and they have seen many shameless people outside, but they have never seen such a nasty person as Ning Chengzhi.
If other girls don't want to marry him, he will make the whole family suffer.
Ji Daogong said: "Your Majesty, as the censor of the censor platform, I will definitely investigate the case of Guhou Mansion thoroughly, and will never make any innocent person wronged. Please don't rush to convict them."
Ning Chengzhi glanced at him, "No need, Boss Ji is getting old, Yushitai doesn't need you anymore. You'd better go home to recuperate, and don't have to come to court again!"
"His Majesty!"
Ji Daogong didn't expect that he would treat him like this, so the old emperor immediately got up and said, "Your Majesty, if there were no Lord Ji and Lord Gu, you would have been framed to death by Ning Yizhao, how could you get the throne today? It doesn't matter if others are rude, it is absolutely impossible to treat them!"
The old emperor's uncle is the emperor's uncle, and Ning Chengzhi should call him "uncle" according to his seniority. He can't be too disrespectful.
His gaze fell on Yufu again, and he lost his voice.
The old emperor thought that he had listened to his own words, and hurriedly said: "Since your majesty refuses to let the second son go, let him stay in Dali Temple for now. It's just that Gu Houye has a high status and is suffering from shortness of breath and vomiting blood. Can we not detain him?"
Seeing that Ji Daogong and Chen Gel's intercession was useless, he simply slowed down his request, even if he couldn't bring Gu Jiuge out temporarily, at least he could keep Gu Huaijiang.
Ning Chengzhi originally wanted to save him face, but when he saw Yu Fu still looking cold, he immediately lost his temper, "No! At most, I can only agree to give him ten days to recuperate, and after ten days he must be sent to prison for investigation!"
Yu Fu finally took a look at him.
She got up slowly, her gaze fell on him coldly, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what crime did the general commit to go to prison? Isn't it enough for the second brother to be in prison alone? Do we have to torture them all?"
Ning Chengzhi said: "Although the crime of Guhou's mansion has not been determined, it is almost inseparable. Guhou has the golden order of the former emperor in his hand, what if he finds out that his conspiracy is exposed and he mobilizes troops to rebel? I have to guard against it." !"
"And you!"
Ning Chengzhi simply bit the bullet and said: "You are the princess granted by the first emperor, and you are different from the Guhou Mansion. It has nothing to do with you to dispose of the Guhou Mansion. From now on, I will give you the Eldest Princess Mansion and let you move out of the Guhou Mansion." Go, break away from their relationship!"
Yu Fu smiled, "Your Majesty said that it is inseparable, so it must be because Yin Shoufu fabricated the perjury very carefully, right?"
Her words were astonishing, Ning Chengzhi felt guilty and couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart.
Yu Fu laughed again and said: "There is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime, Mr. Ji's kindness is appreciated by Yu Fu. No matter how hard you try to investigate the truth of the matter, you can't stop saying that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."
Her words were to the point, and her tone was full of sadness.
"presumptuous!"
Being called to break the conspiracy in front of the courtiers and clan, Ning Chengzhi's face turned red and white, and he was very angry.
Yu Fu didn't speak, he was angry with himself for a while, and soon calmed down again.
Why be angry with her, now that Gu Shubai is dead, her engagement no longer exists, as long as she is willing to be her own queen, I will listen to whatever she says.
He slowed down his breath, "Yu Fu, I'm going to put my words here today, and you can decide for yourself. As long as you are willing to nod, my will to be a queen can be passed on to Gu Hou's mansion at any time. At that time, Gu Jiuge will be Uncle Guo, Gu Huaijiang is the head of the country, I will not do anything to my relatives, please think about it!"
Before Yu Fu could speak, the old uncle was so angry that his hands trembled, and he looked at Ning Chengzhi in a daze, "Your Majesty, an important minister of the court, is it a bargaining chip that you use to threaten the eldest princess! You are so stupid, what will happen to the old minister?" Go to the base of the Nine Springs to meet the late Emperor!"
Ning Xuan had never seen his father so sad and indignant, and when he was about to step forward to help him, he saw the old emperor slamming headfirst into the pillar in the palace, "The old minister is going to apologize to the late emperor!"
"Father!"
Ning Xuan yelled, subconsciously ran towards the old emperor, but the old emperor was full of righteous indignation, how could he stop it
Seeing that his head was about to hit the pillar, a needle flew out from the palm of the jade handrail, and the silver needle pierced the acupuncture point on the back of the old emperor's neck.
The old uncle suddenly froze like a wooden man, and then passed out. Fortunately, Ning Xuan saved him in time so that he did not fall to the ground.
Ning Chengzhi was also taken aback, he didn't see the old uncle's head hit the pillar and heaved a sigh of relief.
Ning Xuan looked up at Yu Fu worriedly, "Eldest Princess, this..."
Yu Fu said: "Don't worry, the needle is not poisonous, it just stabbed the old uncle's acupoints and made him unconscious temporarily. You can send him back to the mansion first, so he can take care of him, and don't let the old uncle do stupid things again."
Ning Xuan silently nodded to her, picked up the old emperor and walked out, without even looking at Ning Chengzhi before leaving, let alone saluting.
Fortunately, Ning Chengzhi didn't care about it, the old emperor uncle was the elder of the royal family after all, and he didn't want anything to happen to the old emperor uncle.
After the incident of the old emperor's uncle bumping into a pillar, everyone felt sorry for him, and they were even more disappointed with Ning Chengzhi, and they didn't know how to persuade him.
Yu Fuchao Ji Daogong and the others said: "My lords, please go back too. Your Majesty wants to close your eyes and listen, but no one can persuade you. Yu Fu just asks you to save their lives, and don't imitate the old emperor."
"Princess, then you..."
Yu Fu looked up at Ning Chengzhi, everyone thought she would agree to his request, and Ning Chengzhi looked at her with hope, thinking that his coercion and temptation had finally worked.
It's a pity that Yu Fu has never been a person who is threatened by others.
She smiled at Ning Chengzhi, "Even if I go to Huangquan with all my family in Guhou's mansion, Your Majesty will never let me compromise!"
It's not that she doesn't care about the lives of everyone in Guhou's mansion, but she deeply understands that everyone in Guhou's mansion would rather die than see her compromise.
They are one family, one heart.
Ning Chengzhi looked at her in astonishment, his legs softened, and he sat down on the throne.
…
Back at Guhou's Mansion, I saw the elite soldiers of Gu's army surrounded by the three floors inside and outside the mansion. When we arrived at the upper room, Yan Huashi and others were there.
Seeing her come back, everyone surrounded her as if they had a backbone.
"Miss, how are you and Mrs. Ji persuading His Majesty? Has Your Majesty promised to let the Second Young Master back?"
Faced with hopeful faces, Yufu couldn't tell the truth.
She was afraid of seeing everyone's disappointment, helplessness, or even despair.
Gu Hanmo greeted him from the inside, "Yufu, father is awake, he wants to see you!"
She hurried to the inner room, only to see Gu Huaijiang lying on the bed, and Yuehu standing at the end of the bed, "Master Gu's breath has recovered a bit, but it's still unstable, don't talk for too long, I'll make the medicine. "
With that said, he backed out and gave their father and daughter a chance to speak.
Gu Huaijiang managed to pull himself together, "I heard that Mrs. Ji, Mr. Chen Gel and the old emperor's uncle all went to the palace to intercede for our Guhou Mansion. How is it? What did your majesty say?"
Yu Fu paused, knowing that he couldn't hide it from him, so he told the truth, "Your Majesty refuses, but fortunately, he didn't want to imprison the general right away, let's think of other ways."
She didn't mention the matter of the old emperor's uncle hitting the post, nor did she mention Ning Chengzhi's threat of becoming a successor, so Gu Huaijiang didn't need to ask.
He smiled and changed the subject, "I heard from your elder sister that the God of Medicine is in retreat, and he is about to come out, isn't it?"
"Um."
Yu Fu didn't know why he mentioned this, so he just followed his words and said, "Master's retreat time is long or short, there is no fixed number, and we disciples can't figure it out."
Gu Huaijiang chuckled, "I thought to myself, you should go back to Immortal Valley now that you are about to reach your age. After all, you are an apprentice of the God of Medicine, and you will be sad if you stay in Dongling and don't go back to the God of Medicine."
Yu Fu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Gu Huaijiang meant.
"General, are you going to drive me away? Did the elder sister tell you something? I'll go find her!"
"No, not her!"
Gu Huaijiang covered his mouth and coughed lightly, his voice was weak, "Don't blame her, she didn't say anything, it's what I meant. When you came to Guhou's mansion, I promised you that you would have nothing to worry about. You can walk sideways in Dongling. But now, the Guhou Mansion can’t even protect you. There is a limit to His Majesty’s patience. You can’t tell when the entire Guhou Mansion will be slaughtered. You can’t stay any longer. it's..."
Yu Fu said urgently: "It is precisely because Guhou Mansion is in trouble now that I can't leave! If I leave now, do I still have a conscience? I can't just care about my own safety and ignore you, let alone my identity is useful , even if I want to enter the palace in the end, I will never let you have trouble!"
Gu Huaijiang coughed violently, Yu Fu quickly patted his back, but Gu Huaijiang weakly pushed her hand away.
Yu Fu was so anxious that he almost cried, "Okay, okay, I won't say that kind of thing anymore, I won't say it again! Don't worry, let's think of a way, and there will be a way!"
Gu Huaijiang slowly came to his senses, "There is no other way, Yufu. I have been an official in the court for decades, and treacherous officials are not to be feared, what is feared is a foolish emperor. To put it disrespectfully, the late emperor was not a wise emperor. He is just mediocre. He also once suspected me and feared me, making me dare not sleep peacefully when I was fighting at the border, and I must always be vigilant against the suspicion of the court."
Yu Fu nodded silently, in fact, this was also what she thought in her heart, when the late Emperor was in power, she often felt injustice for Gu Huaijiang, and felt that his talent and loyalty should not be questioned at all.
Fortunately, the first prince poisoned the first emperor later on, they used Xunchi to stage a play by accident, and the first emperor trusted Gu Huaijiang from then on.
Gu Huaijiang continued: "Actually, no matter how mediocre the late emperor is, it is not scary. I am not a warrior who knows how to fight. It is not that I don't understand the tricks of power manipulation in the court, so I can deal with it carefully. But what about your majesty today?"
He couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty is a fool, a fool through and through! I used to think that as long as the cabinet system is not abolished, as long as Yin Shuo's power is controlled, Dongling can be preserved, but I was wrong. The emperor is the king." The roots of the mountains and rivers are already rotten, so can they not attract moths?"
"Even if one Yin Shuo is wiped out, there are other treacherous ministers, even if there are no traitors in the court, His Majesty will refuse to follow the advice of good ministers like now, and completely destroy the Dongling court full of talents!"
Yu Fu understood that Gu Huaijiang was seriously ill and had been suspected by the late Emperor for so many years, but he had never been so disappointed like this moment.
No matter how suspicious the late emperor was, he would not treat him without evidence, but Ning Chengzhi was different, even if he had no evidence, he would put Gu Hou's mansion to death.
A king who framed his loyal ministers for his own self-interest is more hateful than a hundred treacherous ministers.
Gu Huaijiang closed his eyes slowly, a hot tear dripped from the corner of his eye, and landed on Yufu's wrist, burning like fire.
A general who has experienced hundreds of battles and is strong and strong, he did not shed tears when he was fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, and he did not shed tears when he escaped death among thousands of troops, but when he saw with his own eyes that there were no successors in Dongling's country, he shed tears. tears.
He muttered to himself the same words as the old emperor uncle, "I am ashamed of the late emperor, ashamed of the late emperor..."
