Song Dynasty female artist

Gu Mingjue heard his son's words of blame, and became angry: "Are you blaming me, a father, for not doing a good job?"

"Father, if you didn't pay any attention to my mother because of that surnamed Liu, and even tacitly agreed that she dealt with my mother and deliberately angered her, mother would not be silent in front of uncle now."

In terms of closeness, his mother is my uncle's relative.

Without his mother as a bond, the uncle would never recognize his father as a brother-in-law.

When Gu Nanshan talked about Gu Mingjue's pain, he was very uncomfortable.

"Things are over, and besides, I have killed Liu Yiting with my own hands. Your mother, too, has been angry for so long, and she is not a little girl, so why is she still so ignorant. She can only get well when I get better. Besides, you are my son, then It's also her son, even for you, he shouldn't keep silent."

He began to shift the responsibility to his mother again.

Gu Nanshan looked down on his father's behavior from the bottom of his heart.

Helplessly, the power in the family seems to be in the hands of the father, but in fact most of it is still in the hands of the grandfather.

He only likes the eldest son.

Although I have a son, I am not the elder.

If the elder brother hadn't died, grandfather wouldn't have cared about him at all.

Gu Nanshan clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, and looked out of the window, the only sound left in the car was Gu Mingjue's voice rambling about his mother.

The carriage stopped at the side door of the Han Mansion, Gu Nanshan got out of the carriage, but did not go in, seeing the carriage go far away, Gu Nanshan turned and entered the alley in front.

The carriage that Gu Mingjue was riding in was unremarkable, it swayed all the way, and stopped at the side of the Confucian Mansion after a quarter of an hour. When Gu Mingjue got off the carriage, a man of about forty or so with a knife on his left waist led Gu Mingjue into the Confucian Mansion.

Not long after entering the Confucian Mansion, Gu Mingjue's eyes were covered with a black cloth by the man.

"This, no need, I am absolutely loyal to Mr. Kong."

The man explained with a smile, his hands kept moving: "This is the rule, no matter who comes, this is the case!"

Gu Mingjue was very unhappy.

Who is it!
Thought he was a bumpkin from the countryside?
Isn't it because of his sudden overtures that Kong Chong still can't fully trust him.

Gu Mingjue's eyes were covered with a black cloth, so men led him with ropes the rest of the way. This scene made Gu Mingjue feel that he was not coming to the Confucian mansion, but to the guillotine.

Gu Mingjue was so startled by this thought that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"How long will it be?"

"It's coming soon, Mr. Gu just bear with it."

Gu Mingjue felt that he had gone for about a quarter of an hour before the black cloth on his eyes was removed. His eyes suddenly came into contact with light, and Gu Mingjue reflexively used his hands to cover them.

"Master Gu, please sit down."

After Gu Mingjue got used to the light, he found that the place he was in now was not an ordinary room, it should be in a dark room.

Because he couldn't see the sunlight outside, the room was pitch black, and a candle was burning in front of him.

"Master Kong, this..."

Gu Mingjue pointed around the room and said, "There's no need to cause such a battle."

Kong Chong smiled and pushed the tea that had been brewed in front of Gu Mingjue to Gu Mingjue: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there is no way to do this. The assassination happened at the gate of the city yesterday. Without eyeliner in the palace, you can only be careful."

It turned out to be the case.

Gu Mingjue felt better.

Then he began to flatter: "There is an assassination in the city. You can't blame your lord for this. After all, your lord is a privy envoy and you have so many things to do every day. How can you keep an eye on him all the time."

"You still care about me, the officials don't even think about it. If it weren't for me to maintain the order of the capital, how could the capital be in such an orderly situation?"

"Yes, yes, Master Kong has done a lot of hard work. It is really too much for the officials to blame you for this matter."

The two are talking behind closed doors.

He knew in his heart that what they said could not be spread, so he was naturally not afraid to speak out about the right and wrong of the officials.

"Master Kong, I came to see you this time because I wanted you to give me some good words in the court. It's more than half of this year, and the promotion of officials at the end of the year..."

"Hey, Mr. Gu, you also said that there is still half a year left, so don't worry!"

How can there be no hurry.

Year after year, he has been in the position of prefect of Jiangning Prefecture for seven or eight years.

Seeing that all the accomplices, judges, and professors under him have been promoted, some are on an equal footing with him, and some are even transferred to the capital to serve as officials in the capital.

He was still standing still.

He is already 51, and if he doesn't get a chance to be promoted, he will be a magistrate until his death in this life.

"Master Kong, I will definitely not let you work in vain. If you have any orders, I can do them, and I will definitely not shirk them."

Kong Chong looked at Gu Mingjue with a half-smile.

"Prefect Gu, showing loyalty is not just a matter of words. You have been an official for many years, so you must be well versed in this truth."

Gu Mingjue thought over and over again, and looked at Kong Chong: "Master Kong, if I can come up with something exciting, can you guarantee that I will be admitted to the Privy Council?"

Kong Chong heard Gu Mingjue's tone firmly.

Interested in what he had to say.

However, he did not agree, but asked Gu Mingjue: "What is the relationship between you and Gu Ziyuan, the privy secretary?"

"He is my nephew."

Kong Chong said: "If this is the case, then I can't guarantee that you can enter the Privy Council. Originally, we are the same family, and the possibility of being an official in Beijing together is very small. If we are still in the Privy Council, no matter how powerful I have, I will do it." No."

"It's true that he is my nephew, but he is not included in the family tree."

"Oh?"

Kong Chong is in trouble now, but when it comes to Gu Qingjue, I don't know why, but I just want to know more about him.

Even if it wasn't him who broke into Yichun Garden that night, as far as the master-student relationship between him and Zeng Shengji is concerned, he is destined to stand on the opposite side in the future. Knowing about him may be helpful in the future.

"Tell me, why didn't you enter the genealogy?"

How important is the genealogy, otherwise, you will not be able to enter the ancestral grave after death and become a lonely ghost.

Gu Mingjue said: "I have to talk about my younger brother. For a woman whose origin is unknown, he severed ties with the family."

"...Later, I also wanted to add his name to the genealogy, but this child was stubborn, he disagreed, and he didn't even want to show his face. plus."

Kong Chong: "You still don't know who Master Gu's mother is?"

Gu Mingjue choked.

An old fox is an old fox, and the key points can be grasped in just a few words.

Gu Qingjue's mother is the Fan family, and Fan's family was involved in the hidden treasures of the previous dynasty, so of course he couldn't tell Kong Chong.

If he found out, I didn't come to seek his protection, but to die.

"That woman seems to be my younger brother's fellow apprentice, without father or mother."
