"..." The patriarch was going crazy, cold sweat dripped down his forehead like rain, and his gray temples were already wet.

His second grandson was extremely talented since childhood. He studied at the well-known Wansong Academy at the age of twelve. Several gentlemen in the academy said that his next grandson would be able to give it a try in two years.

Their room pointed at his second grandson and took the imperial examination road, so that they could shine on the family line in the future.

But the emperor blocked his grandson's path to imperial examinations with the words "Three generations will not be allowed to be imperial examinations". He was so old that he was still waiting for his great-grandson to come up with a variety of tricks?!

The patriarch became more and more anxious as he thought about it. He didn't care about others. He kowtowed to the emperor solemnly, making a "bang" sound.

He said everything he knew: "Your Majesty, Gu Ce is indeed a legitimate child. The old marquis once had a legitimate wife, Yuan Pei Daqi. More than thirty years ago, after the big Qi died of illness, Gu Xuan married Yuan Pei's younger sister Xiaoqi, who is now the grand lady."

"The Xiaoqi remarried when the old marquis guarded Xizhou. Because Gu Ce was still young at that time, Xiaoqi was his biological aunt again. The stepmother was difficult. The old marquis was afraid that the mother and son would have a rift, so he hid it down."

"Gu Ce was born in the legitimate family. When he was three years old, the old marquis asked him to be crowned with the crown prince. The imperial edict issued by Emperor Taizu is now enshrined in the Gu family ancestral hall."

"The emperor clearly understands that the Gu family did not use concubines to be the legitimate emperor."

The patriarch spoke as if walking on thin ice, then bent down and kowtowed again, making his forehead swollen, both embarrassed and anxious, hoping that the emperor could take a lighter turn.

The old marquis Gu Xuan married the Daqi clan thirty-eight years ago. At that time, the patriarch also went to Xizhou to attend the wedding and met the Daqi clan once, only once.

Five years later, Gu Xuan returned to Beijing with his wife and children, and the patriarch found that his wife had changed. Gu Xuan explained that this was his second wife whom he continued to marry and was the sister of the Daqi clan. He begged the patriarch not to speak to others. Although the patriarch felt that it was inappropriate, Gu Xuan had already met the saint with his wife at that time, which was like a dead end, so he had to respond.

Thinking of these past events, the patriarch was in a state of confusion, calmed down, and said strongly: "The Gu family has had a case. When they go back, the grass people will reopen the ancestral hall and be honest with the legitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate sect."

His voice tightened, and he humbly put his forehead on the ground, maintaining his stance on the ground, not daring to move, and waiting for the emperor's judgment in panic.

Mrs. Gu's body shook even harder, her old face turned pale, and her chest hurt, so she couldn't hold it up in one breath.

The clan leader's words seemed to be final and gave her a fatal blow.

The elder sister became Gu Xuan's original wife, and she became a second wife, a second wife who was not justified and did not even have an imperial edict. She would always give her concubine's concubine ceremony to her original wife.

It is obvious that the elder sister is her substitute, but now she will be suppressed by the elder sister forever.

She is unwilling, she doesn't want to!

Mrs. Gu, kneeling on the ground, was both angry and helpless, and she was in a state of dismay, shaking, and almost fell to the ground.

The rustling sound of Wu Zhai Guan attracted the attention of the parrot. The parrot flapped its wings and screamed twice.

A glimmer of hope rose in Gu Jian's dull eyes, staring at the emperor without blinking.

It is a serious crime to use a concubine to become a legitimate, and the marquis's mansion must not bear this crime.

As for whether my mother is a second wife, it is just a trivial matter, just a false reputation.

There is a priority for the matter, so I can only apologize to my mother as the second wife and pass the level in front of me first.

The emperor didn't say anything, neither said good nor said bad, and he grabbed the chess piece in the chess box with one hand, as if thinking.

Chu Yi sipped two sips of Biluochun, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, smiled slightly, and suddenly asked, "Gu Yuan, why did you enter the palace this time?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was like a spring breeze blowing, and the ice melted.

Gu Yuan was about to answer, but Gu Jian couldn't wait to say, "Your Highness, I think my mother's actions are inappropriate. Brother Yuan is my nephew. The emperor decided on Feng He's affairs. I took Brother Yuan and persuaded my mother to go back."

Gu Jian tried hard to repay and pushed all the blame for this remark to Mrs. Gu, hoping that the emperor could reveal it gently.

"Go back to Your Highness, it's for the separation of the family." Gu Yuan clasped his fists and replied calmly to Chu Yi.

"..." Gu Jian's face turned black, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but Mrs. Gu suddenly came to her senses.

Gu Yuan didn't care about Gu Jian's reaction at all, and then said, "Uncle Second wants to separate from his brother and sister from his humble corpse."

After saying that, Gu Yuan turned his head and whispered to the patriarch who was lying on the ground: "Grandfather, in front of the emperor, his nephew dare not lie."

When the clan leader heard this, he was sweating profusely and sighed in his heart: The Marquis' Mansion has angered Long Yan, and any concealment now will only make the emperor even more displeased with the Gu family.

Gu Jian almost jumped up and retorted with a glaring look: "Your Majesty, it is clear that Gu Yuan and his brother and sister are going to separate!"

"Not a minister..."

Gu Jian felt that he was even more unjust than Dou E. He was about to explain a few words, but was interrupted by the patriarch beside him: "Your Majesty, the people can testify, it's Hou... it's Gu Jian's separation!"

The patriarch said this sentence loudly. At this time, he looked at Gu Jian again, and could not hide his disgust in his eyes.

After all this reached this point, Gu Jian still wanted to talk nonsense. He was simply bold and arrogant. Did he want to take him together to get the crime of deceiving the king?!

Zhao Rang quickly glanced at the emperor's face, and then asked the patriarch's chief instead: "Gu An, why did the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion suddenly want to split up?"

The patriarch honestly told him that he was called to the Marquis' Mansion to preside over the division of the family.

It was the first time he saw the emperor, and he was panicked and scared. He said something in a mess, bumpy manner, but he also made three key points clear:

Today, Gu Jian sent someone to ask him and the elders to go to the Marquis’ Mansion to preside over the division;

Gu Jian and his wife planned to separate the eldest house;

This time, Gu Jian's house accounted for 70% of the family business, while Gu Yuan and his sister accounted for only 12% of the entire family business.

In the water pavilion, only the clan leader's dry voice echoed in the air. Gu Jian next to him wanted to interrupt the clan leader several times, but after all, he remembered that this was not the Marquis' Mansion, but the imperial court, so he could not tolerate his presumptuousness.

Mrs. Gu didn't know the matter of splitting up until now. Her whole body was shocked, and she turned her head in disbelief and stared at Gu Jian with a breath slightly.

How could my son split up with the eldest son at this moment? Isn’t that a bad guy and just arousing suspicion?

Why is he just a good decision without discussing with himself!

She had only been away for more than an hour and felt a feeling of turning upside down.

The patriarch kowtowed the third head again and solemnly apologized: "Your Majesty, the matter of division of the family is too hasty, and it is all the blame for the people not investigating it."

"..." Mrs. Gu was already in a daze.

I want to argue and scold my son, but I have no way to start.

Even if she said that all this was Gu Jian’s own decision, they were both mother and son, and no one believed it or made any sense.

"Bang!"

The emperor raised his hand and patted the table again, sneering: "Ha, I know now, what is the purpose of this memorial?"

While speaking, the emperor threw the note at Gu Jian and Mrs. Gu. The note happened to be thrown on Gu Jian's calf. Gu Jian's legs were so scared that Gu Jian's legs became weak and he knelt down "splash".

Several censors glanced at Gu Jian with contempt. The young censor stood up with his head held high and bowed to the emperor with righteousness: "Emperor, Gu Jian, the Marquis of Dingyuan, did not allow his nephew to take over his family property. He even spoke nonsense in front of the imperial court, and wanted to kill his nephew. It was really unfaithful, unkind and unrighteous."

"Such evil deeds should be severely punished. The emperor also asked to take the title and punish him as a warning to others."

The young censor said passionately and well-founded. The other Qingliu censors all felt that he was right and nodded frequently.

Gu Jian felt that his heart was stabbed again, and a strong salty smell appeared in his throat.

At this moment, he really wanted to kill the censor.

Why should I seize his title?!

Gu Jian was indignant: It was clearly Gu Yuan who mentioned the division, so why did the censor even blame him for his crime in the end, and asked the emperor to take his title?!

Gu Jian's face faded from blood, as pale as snow.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. His mouth opened and closed, his throat was burning like a fire, and his begging eyes looked at Shoufu Xiao.

Shoufu Xiao frowned, the wound on his neck had stopped, his gray hair was a little messy, and his eyes were gloomy.

The Yu family and the Feng family have had an accident one after another, and today the aristocratic family is even more defeated. After this incident, the power of the aristocratic families in the court may have been greatly reduced...

The one who made Xiao Shoufu feel most regretful was Feng He.

He finally managed to insert Feng He'an into Jingzhao Yin's position.

Jingzhao Yin is the parent official of the capital city, but he is only a fourth-rank official. He has a low rank and does not have much power. If there is a murder case between a noble family, Jingzhao Yin cannot handle it. However, all the big and small things in the capital city cannot escape Jingzhao Yin's eyes, which can cut off the emperor's eyes and ears, and even...

Xiao Shoufu's eyes were darker, and the more he thought about it, the more headache he felt, and he rubbed his eyebrows.

This time the loss of their aristocratic family was too heavy.

Shoufu Xiao didn't speak. Officials from other aristocratic families all took him as the leader, and they all judged the situation, and quietly lowered their hands and watched.

The envoys next to them all pointed their finger at Gu Jian and followed:

"Censor Han said, this wind must not last long!"

"Others shouldn't others learn and expel the orphans and widows from the house after their brother dies."

"Yes, my Dajing Dynasty governs the world with loyalty and filial piety. Such despicable behavior must be killed."

“…”

These imperial censors are best at talking, and most of them are passionate and upright, with strong combat power. When you say something, I scold Gu Jian, and ask the emperor to punish Gu Jian severely.
