Fanwai 07 Fujue(1/2)

Even though Gu Ming gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, all the deeds present could see that he had a ghost in his heart.

The students were all frightened. In just one hour, they witnessed a good show of turning around and climaxes. They couldn't help but feel ashamed of their sympathy for Concubine Yang before.

Xuan Juren's mood is a little more complicated. When he recalled what Gu Jue said before at Mingfang Teahouse, "If you listen to both sides, you will be clear, and if you believe in both sides, you will be dark." He felt more meaningful and had some insights in his heart.

"Emperor..." Seeing Gu Ming kowtowing to Gu Jue so humbly, Concubine Yang felt very distressed. The trace of resentment towards her son disappeared again, and she wanted to defend him for a few words.

But Gu Ming quickly reached out and grabbed one of Concubine Yang's sleeves and gave her a look. If he asked his mother to continue talking about it, he would probably offend the new emperor today and he would die.

The hall fell into a long silence, and Gu Ming's forehead pressed against the ground, and he didn't move for a long time.

After a while, Gu Ming finally couldn't help but move. He looked up and looked straight ahead, and met Gu Jue's cold eyes, Mo Ru Ye, and as cold as water.

Gu Ming was so nervous that he was watching Gu Jue's eyes, his heart was beating in disorder, as if he was about to jump out of his throat.

Gu Jue smiled slightly and announced: "Gu Ming embezzled public funds and privately distributed seals, and handed over to the three departments for trial."

Gu Ming: "!!!"

Concubine Yang: "!!!"

Both mother and son trembled violently.

"No!" Gu Ming denied loudly, "I have not embezzled public funds, absolutely nothing."

At this point, Gu Ming could only take the least of his harm, and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I have personally given the seal money, but did not embezzle public funds. That money is the dowry of the mother and the villain."

Gu Jue stared at Gu Ming quietly.

His eyes were clearer, colder, brighter, like a sharp sword piercing straight towards him.

The invisible pressure around him made Gu Ming feel alarmed, and the chill continued to spread and intensify.

"A dowry worth 300,000?" Gu Jue changed his seat slightly and leaned gently on the back of the dragon chaise. "Do you dare to say it again?"

"..." Gu Ming's eyes flashed, thinking about whether Gu Jue was cheating him or whether he really knew something.

Gu Jue continued: "On the eighth day of last winter, you received 300,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury a month in advance. This money should be used to repair the Taimiao, but it was misappropriated by you and handed it to Li Er privately, right or not?"

He said, placing the index finger of his right hand on his temple and tweaking it casually.

Gu Jue knew, he knew everything!! Gu Ming's eyes were anxious and he didn't dare to look directly at Gu Jue anymore. His whole body seemed to be soaked in an ice pool, and it was cold from head to toe.

Either he admitted that Concubine Yang and his wife had a dowry of 300,000 taels of silver, or he had to admit that he had embezzled the huge sum of money to repair the Taimiao.

He has no third way to go.

However, even he thought about it carefully, he felt outrageous. Even in this capital, even if the relatively wealthy family in his family was able to prepare 50,000 taels of silver for his legitimate daughter as a dowry, it was rare to be rich. When his wife married him, she accompanied him thirty-two dowry and twenty thousand taels of silver, and even fewer of his mother.

What should he do if the new emperor asks him to submit a dowry list, or directly announces his Yue family and Concubine Yang's parents' family to explain the dowry, what should he do?!

Gu Ming was worried, he was even more nervous and more frightened, and he didn't dare to reply. Another line of cold sweat slid down his cheeks.

"explain!"

Gu Jue's volume was slightly raised, which scared Gu Ming so much that he almost bit his tongue.

"Yes, I embezzled the silver." Gu Ming's body collapsed like mud, "I admit my guilt and ask the emperor for forgiveness!"

"Your Majesty, for the sake of me being a child of Gu, I will take it lighter!"

Gu Ming kowtowed hard, making a thud. After a while, his forehead was already blue and purple, and he felt like he was lost: It's over, it's all over!

Gu Jue was not moved at all, and he didn't even move his eyes and eyebrows. He said calmly: "Just because you are a child of the Gu family, I have to deal with it impartially."

"The person who comes will take Gu Ming into custody and the three departments will choose a date to try the case."

The three officials will try?! Yang Taifei also heard it, and her eyes turned black.

This case could have been light or serious, but Gu Jue was so cruel that he insisted on putting Gu's housework on the table and dealing with it according to official business!

Next, how will the three departments judge?!

I'm afraid that exile and house searches will be light... Concubine Yang dared not think about it anymore.

The students couldn't help but remembered the scenes that had happened in front of the drum an hour ago, and felt even more ashamed: they were incited by others by words, and felt that the demon queen was in trouble, and that the new emperor was fascinated by beauty, and that he was the appearance of a foolish monarch.

Thinking back to this now, they all wanted to dig a hole in the ground and drill in it.

If they are as confused as they are, they will be able to pass the Jinshi in the future. How can they become parents and officials, be aware of everything and seek justice for the people!

The sons all looked solemn, but Prince Li showed hesitation and wanted to plead for Gu Ming.

He knew that Gu Ming made a huge mistake, but Gu Ming was a royal family after all, and it was a big deal that would damage the face of the royal family.

Prince Li carefully proposed: "Your Majesty, is this case left to the clan's house for trial?"

"What about getting to the queen?" Gu Jue asked with a smile.

"..." Prince Li was speechless.

Okay... In the heart of Gu Jue, his queen is the most important thing. Who made Concubine Yang and Gu Ming too stupid? They insisted on climbing onto the queen and pouring dirty water on the queen!

So, the Minister of Justice, Dali Temple Minister and Zuodu Censor, stood up quickly and bowed solemnly: "I obey the order. I will definitely handle this case impartially."

Gu Jue continued to make a verdict: "The Concubine Yang falsely accused the emperor and was unable to teach her children. She seized the throne of the Concubine to serve as a warning to others."

Yang: "!!!"

Then, Gu Jue gave Yang the last "fatal blow": "The title of Prince Jing is empty, not a long-term solution. I will pass on my will and return it to Gu Jin. Gu Jin has no fault and is the eldest brother, so he should inherit the title."

This time, even Gu Jin was shocked.

After a moment of silence, he bowed to Gu Jue solemnly and said, "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

What?! Yang's eyes were dumbfounded, and his heart was crushed by a heavy object, and he was in great pain.

Isn't that the same as she handed over the title and property of the Prince's Mansion to Gu Jin?! Gu Jin was re-elected, but her son was going to be imprisoned and completely destroyed for the rest of his life...

Yang could no longer face this cruel reality, and he rolled his eyes and fainted on the stretcher.

Gu Jue didn't even look at Yang, and said to Prince Li again: "Uncle, I saw that the separation of families in the Prince Jing's Mansion last year was not straightforward, and I didn't even divide the family. If you stop, you have to ask them to take charge of the separation of families."

"Since the family is not united, it's better to divide this family early."

Gu Jue means that when the Prince Jing's Mansion split last year, only Gu Jin was divided into this house, and no other common houses were divided. This time, before Gu Jin officially regained his title, all the common houses were divided into pieces to save trouble.

Prince Li repeatedly said yes and responded without saying a word.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Ming was dragged down by the Jinyiwei, but Gu Ming still didn't give up. He heard his heart-wrenching begging for mercy gradually fading away: "Your Majesty, I know I'm wrong..."

As for the unconscious Yang, the two eunuchs were also carried out.

No one here cared about the fate of the mother and son, and thought they deserved it and deserved it.

After the case was tried, the two Jinyiwei brought four sons out of the Huagai Palace.

The matter has come to light, but the four disciples' moods have not calmed down, and their thoughts are still around the matter just now, and they are deeply moved. Although the new emperor is young, he acts very skillfully. While talking and laughing, the masts and oars are destroyed, which makes them deeply understand what the power of the emperor is.

The students went out in a daze.

Immediately afterwards, the Minister of Justice and other three adults also said goodbye with tactfulness.

After leaving the Huagai Palace, the Zuodu Censor raised his hand and whispered thoughtfully: "Does the emperor want to purify the royal family?"

The new emperor knew too clearly about Gu Ming's embezzlement of public funds and the deposit of seals. He must have investigated it clearly for a long time, but it just kept it hidden.

Concubine Yang and Gu Ming and his son are really stupid. They beat the drums and complained about the emperor. They were hitting the sword of the new emperor.

If the three departments do not meet to try the case, the case can be sentenced lightly. Now that it is in court, the three departments will inevitably make an attitude of "the emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the common people" and make an impartial judgment.

Gu Ming was like being used by the new emperor to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, allowing those royal family members to learn from it.

The Dali Temple Minister thought more, thought of Ji Mingzhi's incident, and murmured in a low voice: "First it is the army, then the royal family, next..."

Next, who will be the turn?

The three adults couldn't help but look at each other, and they were also thinking.

Yes, the new emperor personally tried the case and deliberately announced that they entered the palace. He was probably not only determined to sentence Gu Ming to a serious sentence, but also using their determination to tell the civil ministers to purify the court.

Zuodu Censor smiled slightly, stroked his sleeves, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and said meaningfully: "It's white, it can't be black; it's black, it can't be white, it's time to rectify it."

After they left, the Huagai Palace became much quieter, leaving only Gu Jue, Chen Qianchen, Prince Li and Gu Jin.

Everyone here is his own family, Gu Jin's expression and tone become more casual, and he is not restrained at all, and he said with a saliva: "Master, I'm re-election, where is the Qi Niang?"

He asked Gu Jue, but Chen Qianchen replied: "The princess is better than the county magistrate."

Chen Qianchen means to promote Gu Zhiyan from county lord to county lord.

Gu Jin didn't mean to be polite to them at all, and smiled and said, "Princess Hui'an, not bad, it sounds much better than the Prince of Hui'an."

Prince Li was amused and laughed heartily.

Gu Jue turned his head and asked Chen Qianchen: "I will leave the imperial decree to Qi Niang to you?"

Chen Qianchen responded with a smile.

Gu Jin was happy and was eager to go back home to report the good news to his wife and daughter, but Gu Jue shouted again: "Gu Jin, I plan to set up a temporary supervisory office. You will be responsible for the supervision of the inspection. The inspection is imminent and the time is tight, so you can work hard."

Gu Jin was happy and immediately received the order.

The imperial examination is a major concern for the imperial court. The importance of this errand can be imagined. He knew that this was a chance that Gu Jue gave him. Whether he continued to be a idle royal family or to earn a place for himself in the court was here.
To be continued...
