Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 365 The Difficulty of Guessing Your Favorite

Night, Cheng Guogong's mansion.

Hu Wei took advantage of the darkness and hurried into the gate of the mansion. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw a graceful and beautiful woman standing not far away, with a worried look on her face.

Seeing him coming in, the woman immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Father, you are finally here."

This woman is none other than Hu Wei's youngest daughter, Hu Shi, the current mistress of Cheng Guogong's mansion.

Seeing her daughter so confused, Hu Wei couldn't help frowning: "It's so late, what happened?"

Originally, Hu could barely manage to live, but when Hu Wei asked, her tears almost fell down.

"Father, go and have a look. My husband has been devastated since he came back in the evening. He locked himself in the study. Mother-in-law and daughter took turns to persuade him, but he refused to open the door."

"My daughter asked the servant who went with him on duty, and she said that she has been like this since she was summoned by His Majesty. She almost fell when she got into the carriage at the gate of the palace."

"Husband has always listened to your words, and my daughter really has no other choice, so she disturbed Daddy late at night."

After hearing Hu's description, Hu Wei couldn't help but frowned, and without talking nonsense, said directly: "Take the old man over there to have a look."

So, Hu Yi followed Hu through the hall and came to the outside of the study.

It's getting late now, but there are no lights in the house, it's pitch black.

At the door was Mrs. Wang, the old lady of the Zhu family, standing outside wiping her tears with a cane, knocking on the door non-stop. Beside her was Zhu Yi's younger brother, Zhu Ji, who also looked worried.

Beside them, there is a group of maidservants, each holding a lantern, they can be seen vaguely, and there is a person sitting in the room.

Hu Wei stopped outside the house, saluted politely, and asked.

"Hu has met the old lady. Yueniang just said that the young man has locked himself in the room since he came back and hasn't come out?"

At such a mention, the old lady felt sad again, said.

"That's right, it's so late, it's very rude to disturb the in-laws, but the old man really has nothing to do, after my master went, he suffered a lot for Yi'er, and he was going to be the leader of Cheng Guogong's mansion at a young age. Now I don't know what happened, but when I came back, I locked myself in the room without saying a word, how could this be so good..."

Hu Yan nodded, glanced at the large group of maidservants gathered, frowned, and said.

"Old Madam, I think the young man is in a bad mood, so he should not let so many people surround him, otherwise he would think that something happened to Cheng Guogong's mansion."

Wang nodded, so Zhu Ji beside her immediately went over, dismissed the surrounding maids and servants, leaving only a few confidantes to serve.

Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Hu Yan winked, motioned for Mrs. Hu to help the old lady go away, and knocked on the door.

After a while, seeing that there was still no response, he took two steps back and kicked open the door.

This action startled the old lady of the Zhu family, but before she could speak, she saw Zhu Yi sitting beside the desk, her eyes were a little red, and she was sitting there blankly.

As if he heard the sound, he raised his head, tried his best to pull out an ugly smile, and said, "Mother, Yuezhang, you are here."

The voice was hoarse, and the old lady of the Zhu family burst into tears in an instant.

Hu Wei frowned, strode into the room, and without further ado, asked straightforwardly, "What did Your Majesty say to you?"

Zhu Yi was in a daze, but she didn't answer Hu Yan's words, but said with a smile uglier than crying.

"Mother, my child is unfilial, the lintel of Duke Cheng's mansion will be destroyed by my child..."

After a lot of tossing and turning, he finally calmed down the excited old lady and asked Zhu Ji to help the old lady down to rest. Hu Yan dragged Zhu Yi and sat down opposite him, saying with a look of hatred .

"What are you doing with a mournful face? When your father was here, how many times did he teach you to be calm in every major event, why are you so unbearable now? Could it be that His Majesty has cut your father's title?"

It would be a good thing if the title was really cut off.

Hu Wei didn't stay in the court for nothing these years, he really reached that point, he gave it a go, and joined forces with the old relatives of the Duke's mansion to have a fight, and he still doesn't know what the final result will be.

At this time, Zhu Yi also gradually came out of her depressed mood, shook her head, and said.

"No, His Majesty gave me a two-month vacation to go to Yao'er Ridge to offer sacrifices and bury my father's spirit."

Hu Wei obviously realized something, bent down and said.

"You played against His Majesty today, what exactly did you say, tell this old man exactly, don't miss a single word!"

Zhu Yi sighed for a long time, and truthfully told Hu Wei about the correct situation in the hall. At the end of the sentence, he smiled miserably and said.

"...Yuezhang, it's not that my son-in-law is underestimating himself. Although I have practiced martial arts since childhood, I have never been able to understand the essence of the art of war. The only thing I can do is riding and archery. But if I want to fight in the battlefield, I hope that I will be rehabilitated with military merits." Mist, His Majesty's move is clearly to eliminate me as the lintel of the Duke's mansion!"

Compared with Zhu Yi's pessimism, Hu Wei frowned, closed his eyes, went through the performance Zhu Yi just described in his heart, shook his head and said.

"It shouldn't be. If Your Majesty has no intentions towards Cheng Guogong's mansion, then shelving the matter is fine. Why did he suppress it like this? If so, why did he send Li Xian over to make such a fuss?"

When Duke Feng Li Xian visited late at night, Hu Wei knew that Duke Cheng's mansion was being followed by the emperor.

Things have come to this point, it is useless to try to reduce the sense of presence, but what Hu Yan can't figure out is that the emperor has not come back.

Previously, Duke Feng Li Xian made some kind of donation, and asked Zhu Yi for the position of escort general.

Hu Wei originally thought that he would make persistent efforts and come up with some tricks to help Duke Cheng's mansion get back the title, but it didn't work out. After that, Duke Feng never mentioned this matter, as if nothing happened.

In the end, Hu Wei was a little impatient, so he found an opportunity to get some words out of the way.

He felt that the emperor was waiting for a vote of honor.

Therefore, at the risk of being impeached, Hu Wei arranged for the cousin of Zhu Yi's mother's family to be included in the draft list.

Things started off quite smoothly, and the queen dowager in the palace was also very satisfied, and there was only one last step left, to affix the queen's phoenix seal, and then the canonization ceremony could be performed.

The result was stuck in this last step.

To be honest, Hu Wei didn't care whether the Wang family could enter the palace or not, what he cared about was what the emperor thought.

Judging from Zhu Yi's description, the emperor's attitude was very firm and he refused to marry the Wang family.

Even to say plainly that a marriage can be given to the Wang family and her favorite person, this is tantamount to completely blocking this road.

But, if not the draft, what exactly does the Son of God want?

Zhu Yi looked at Hu Min, frowning and thinking, and said for a while.

"My son-in-law is also thinking about this matter after leaving the palace today. Perhaps, His Majesty intended to take over Cheng Guogong's mansion at the beginning, but after sending his cousin into the palace, rumors spread everywhere in the government and the public. In order to gain fame, His Majesty may have to give up. Alright..."

This is the most reasonable explanation that Zhu Yi can think of so far.

But after hearing this, Hu Wei snorted softly, shook his head, and said.

"Perhaps the old man made a mistake in the draft, but you don't know His Majesty well enough. He is definitely not someone who gives up so easily. There must be a deep meaning behind it. When you get you right, His Majesty's every move will tell you the truth." I listen."
