Chapter 91 The First Step

When I heard about this for the first time, it was inevitable that there would be people who couldn't stand it and gave advice.

As for Xiao Tingyi, although he has no real power in his hands, he is still the king of a country, so he can easily take back what he said personally.

Just treat those courtiers as mobs and ignore them.

Unexpectedly, in the next few days, the dissent became more and more intense, and they all said that the Yun family has been a generation of Beijing officials. Although they are Qingliu, they have never made any outstanding contributions to Daqi. Partisans are criminals.

In the first few months, it was against the ancestral system for the whole family of Yun's family to be granted titles, but now they want to bury Yun Zeyan like this, but they are praising the act of forming a party for personal gain.

In the next few days, even the Empress Dowager Gu Ruonan gave advice against it.

When the matter developed to this point, Xiao Tingyi, who had always been calm and stable, seemed to be possessed suddenly, and he ignored the voices of the courtiers and insisted on going his own way.

To Gu Ruonan, he directly reprimanded him even more, saying that when Huang Kao was alive, he always said that the harem should not interfere in politics, but after two years, the empress mother forgot why her feet were grounded in the first place, and the suffering she suffered in the past.

Everyone in the court, and even the whole city of Shangjing, knew that it was the disgrace of the Gu family, Gu Chengyu, and Gu Ruonan's thorn in her back. Now that she is being bullied like this by her own son, how can she not be angry.

He didn't care about his shame, so he slapped him back immediately.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tingyi is not a vegetarian either.

Furious, he said "since he is not in good health, there is no need to step out of Shoukang Palace in the future" and walked away directly.

That day, the news that the Queen Mother was grounded almost boiled in the palace.

After all, it is true that today's son respects filial piety, and it is true that he has treated the queen mother with care and respect since he became the throne.

Now because of the insanity of uncle and wife's natal family, everyone is horrified and can't believe it.

But the fact is that it is true that the Queen Mother was grounded.

It is also true that he sighs and sighs in the palace on weekdays, and complains about himself.

In this way, the voices of the courtiers became louder and more daring and indignant.

Later, taking advantage of Gu Chengyu's indifference, the ministers simply appealed to the court early in the morning and jointly petitioned for orders.

There are even those who beat the Dengwen drum day and night, shouting such words as "death to ask for an order" and "dismiss from office", which are almost forced to obey today.

Although Xiao Tingyi practiced martial arts since he was a child, he was tall and strong, and his body was always strong, but it was hard to bear the torture day and night.

It's either a headache attack or a heart attack.

Fortunately, however, such days did not last too long.

On that day, two days before Brother Yan was buried, Gu Chengyu went to the cemetery.

Everyone was busy, and the Buddhist scriptures stretched out. Yun Jin'an knelt in front of the coffin, didn't look at him, didn't speak, but at least he didn't drive him away.

Gu Chengyu assumed that she had tacitly agreed to his existence, and he stayed there logically.

But he didn't dare to disturb her, so he stood far away, glanced at her inadvertently, and asked Ji Xiang how she was doing recently, how she was eating, how she was sleeping, how she was taking medicine on time, and how she was doing.

Hearing that they were all "yes" answers, Gu Chengyu was relieved a lot, and the original embarrassment and helplessness were also settled a lot.

Occasionally, I will help the busy people, and look around like a master to see if there is anything missing.

Sometimes when she is not paying attention, he will add two handfuls of money, saying that he will take good care of his aunt in the future, so that brother Yan can reach bliss early.

But no matter what he does, whether it is loud or not, Yun Jin'an just pretends that he is not such a person, always hangs his head, like a mechanical haggard wood, adding money without pain.

Seeing the passing of time, the sky gradually darkened, and she kept silent and never looked him in the eye.

Rao was very anxious, and wanted to go over to test a few times, but thinking of what she said before, "We have known each other for many years, Gu Hou still knows nothing about me", Gu Chengyu still endured it.

Just guard her from afar and watch her.

In the midst of the coldness, he was always suppressing his restless thoughts.

Just when it was difficult to endure, a letter suddenly came from the palace: Now the whole court, inside and outside the palace, has already knelt down, and all forces are pressing against each other, forcing His Majesty to have a heart attack. It has reached the point where it cannot be controlled, and Gu Hou is urgently needed to take charge of the overall situation.

Hearing the letter, Gu Chengyu, who was on the verge of collapse, finally got angry.

Because in his vision, Xiao Tingyi is absolutely united with him, and the suffering this time is entirely for him and the Yun family.

And those aggressive courtiers seemed to be pointing at His Majesty, but they were actually pointing at him, Gu Chengyu, at his An'er, how could he bear it.

Immediately grasping the iron whip in his hand, he was about to enter the palace with big strides.

But seeing Yun Jin'an's ashamed appearance, he hesitated again.

Not for any other reason, but because half of Brother Yan's funeral has already been settled.

At the beginning, she had heard from her own mouth that brother Yan's funeral was not yet complete, so she would not just let it go.

Does that mean that once Brother Yan is buried, she will...

Gu Chengyu immediately felt chills down his spine.

Thinking back to the day when she first saw Brother Yan's body, and seeing her reaction after the day, to be honest, it was hard for him not to think badly.

After several struggles in his heart, Gu Chengyu finally took the Tiger Talisman from his belt and handed it to Shi Yi, telling him to protect His Majesty and Empress Dowager at all costs.

Then he guarded her all by himself.

Because he knew very well that no matter how powerful those officials were, they were just bluffing.

The whole court, especially the group of officials who talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and the so-called ancestral rules, are actually the most bullying people.

No matter how terrifying it is now, no matter how powerful its power is, it is only a matter of one fist.

But for An'er, he was really helpless and really afraid.

Afraid that she would hate him, afraid that she would retaliate against him.

But compared to these, he was more afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would never be able to catch her again.

Yes.

Although he has never admitted it, but in fact the matter has developed to this point, it is false to say that he has no guilt or regret in his heart.

One is to walk step by step to get to where we are today.

The second is the death of Brother Yan.

Although he dared to swear to the sky that Brother Yan was indeed not responsible for him this time, he had to admit that the development of the matter, including Brother Yan's death, was inseparable from Gu Chengyu.

Therefore, the moment he saw Brother Yan's dead body, he knew that no matter how difficult it would be to end this time, he knew that Yun Jin'an would never give up easily.

But he has never considered, or dared not doubt, that once a person who is driven into a desperate situation is able to turn around, he will immediately be rewarded twice.

He never imagined that his An'er's madness would be so vicious, and the things he did would be so appalling.

Together with his absolutely trusted and closest nephew, the current saint Xiao Tingyi, they all became a sharp blade for her to take revenge on him.

Yes.

Xiao Tingyi.

Xiao Tingyi was completely unexpected.

To this day, he still doesn't know that what he did now, or the time he made the Empress Dowager lose face at the banquet on the Laba Festival, or even earlier, was already the first step that he could not see the end of.
