The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1338 Daxing Envoy Arrives
Gu Chengyu turned around and was about to exit the dormitory, when suddenly a voice came from behind, "Jinyu! No matter what happens in the future, please protect brother Ye's life, can you answer me?"

Looking at Gu Chengyu's thin back, the emperor asked nervously.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "The minister agrees!"

"Okay, I'm satisfied!" The emperor had a relieved smile on his face, as long as Gu Chengyu agreed, he knew that Gu Chengyu would definitely do it.

"Even if you replace him, I won't blame you! As long as you protect Brother Ye's life and leave incense for me, I can rest in peace in the future."

The emperor said softly, then he took a quick breath, and suddenly shouted: "Come on, grind ink for me!"

"Your Majesty, just now Master Gu told you that you want to rest, you can't stay here!" A servant quickly stepped into the inner hall, he was transferred from the Queen Mother's Palace just now to serve him.

"Momo, I want to draw up an imperial decree!" The emperor ordered him to help him up, panting heavily to get up.He was afraid that he would not be able to sleep at any time, so of course he had to prepare early.

"Are these people recruited?" Gu Chengyu stood in the cell of Dali Temple, looked at the prisoners in the cell, and asked Peng Fang, the Prime Minister of Zuo Si, beside him.

"Your Excellency! They are all recruited, but the confessions of two of them are inconsistent. Zhang Yuchu said that he was originally on duty today, but Wang Yuchu will celebrate the birthday of his mother tomorrow, so the two of them switched the day of duty. But just They exchanged privately without asking Shangfeng for instructions. However, Wang Yuchu said that he was on duty today, and Zhang Yuchu lied."

Peng Fang handed the stack of confessions to Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu took it and started to read it.

"What do the others say? The Shangfeng who came to them should have a deacon's record!" It shouldn't be difficult to find out which of the two is lying.

"Others said the same thing as Wang Yuchu. The villain had already found their Shangfeng just now, but Shangfeng said that Wang Yuchu was lying. He also showed the villain his deacon record, which was consistent with his statement. The superior originally remembered that it was Zhang. Royal chef!"

"According to what you said, those who are on duty in the imperial dining room think that Wang Yuchu is on duty today. But their Shangfeng said that Zhang Yuchu is on duty. Is that true?" Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment, regardless of who said it. Lie, anyway, things have nothing to do with them.

"Exactly!" Peng Fang nodded.

"Have you searched their residence? Is there anything unusual about the other servants and maids?" Gu Chengyu was wondering who was lying.

"I searched, but I didn't find the roots of doves and flowers!" Ke Jun, the commander of the imperial guards, strode into the cell of Dali Temple. Because he captured the person, he can come and go freely in this cell today.

"Lord Ke!" Gu Chengyu saluted, the commander of the imperial guards was a second rank, but two ranks higher than him.

"Gu Siqing!" Ke Jun nodded, "Everyone is already here, and Gu Siqing will take over the interrogation. If there is any need for help in the future, Gu Siqing can just ask."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Ke." Gu Chengyu looked at Ke Jun's back, this person was quite polite to him.

Nowadays, there are many people in the court who don't like him. Of course, there are also many people who want to curry favor with him and those who wait and see what happens.This person expressed his friendliness to him, but he was not overly ingratiating, which gave him a good impression.

"Interrogate those imperial chefs who are on duty today again, and interrogate them carefully!" Gu Chengyu felt that it was impossible for Shang Feng of the imperial kitchen to lie. Not so.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the other few people will have problems, there must be something else wrong with it.

"Yes!" Peng Fang agreed, and he took a look at Gu Chengyu before turning around and walking towards those people.

Gu Chengyu's promotion was too fast, Wu Wu was stabbed to death, and his backer fell.If it wasn't for his low rank and quick withdrawal, he might be implicated even more.

It seems that he has to perform well in front of this person in the future, otherwise he really has no hope of being promoted.

"Since the servants and maids didn't find the roots of doves and flowers, then the royal chefs are very suspicious. You go to their residences and search carefully." Gu Chengyu said to several other Dali Temple officials, Then he went straight out of the cell in Dali Temple.

Walking to the old place where he came these days, he saw that familiar little figure sitting on the porch in a daze from a distance.

"Why are you late today?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, the eldest prince quickly put down his hand holding his chin, and sat up straight.

"See Your Highness! Some things are delayed today." Gu Chengyu sat beside him and looked up at the sky. The weather these days has been a little warmer than before.In two days it will be the second day of February, spring is here!
"Is the father sick?" A soft voice sounded beside him, and the lonely and childish voice made Gu Chengyu's heart soften.

"Yes!"

"Everyone in the palace knows what grandma said."

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, he didn't expect the queen mother to tell the eldest prince about this.

"Lord Gu, Father seems to have been sick recently, when will he get better?" Zhao Guangye tilted his head and looked at the person beside him.Although he could only see a little bright color flickering in front of his eyes, he still looked over persistently.

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Zhao Guangye to reveal his identity suddenly, after all, the two of them didn't talk about this matter during this period, they just had a heart-to-heart talk.

"Your Highness, are your eyes better today?" Gu Chengyu was unwilling to answer, although Zhao Guangye was young, he shouldn't lie to him.

"It's much better, you really are Master Gu!" Zhao Guangye curled his lips, he had already guessed it.

"Today, I have something important to do, so I can only resign first. Your Highness should go back to the palace first! The spring is cold, and the wind here is strong, and it is easy to catch the cold!"

Gu Chengyu stood up, saluted and walked out.Zhao Guangye didn't call him to stop, just heard the footsteps gradually going away.

After walking a long distance, Gu Chengyu looked back at Zhao Guangye. From the moment he saw this child, maybe they were tied together.

"My lord! It has been found out that Zhang Yuchu is lying. We have already found the root powder of dove and flower in his home." As soon as he stepped into the cell of Dali Temple, Peng Fang greeted him.

"Do you have an explanation who ordered it?" Gu Chengyu regained his energy and asked immediately.

"No, I'm still holding on! My lord, may torture be used?" Peng Fang asked cautiously.

"Yes! Find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible, and always pay attention, don't let him die!" Gu Chengyu glanced at Peng Fang, this person is quite capable, and he is acting like this in front of him at this moment, I am afraid he wants to hug his thigh .

No matter who this person belonged to before, he was definitely not Prince Jing's.That being the case, then use it first!
On March [-]th of the second year of Guanghui, Ge Yuan, the Seventh Prince of Daxing, led his envoys to Dayan Capital.
