Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

Zhao Zongquan fainted, and the officials naturally ignored the quarrel between Gu Tingye and Zhu Manniang.

King Huan, the Yuzhou gang, the prime ministers, and other high-ranking officials up to the level of prime minister, surrounded the emperor and moved into the side hall next to him for diagnosis and treatment by the imperial physician who had been summoned.

The others couldn't get close to him and were not returned. They went back to the Yamen and went home.

With no one paying attention, Bai Dalang and Zhu Manniang were dragged out of the palace. It was a pity that Bai Dalang, a salt merchant, finally entered the imperial city and Wende Palace once, but he didn't even say a word.

Others, including Sheng Changbai and other officials with insufficient grades, were detained in Wende Hall.

While waiting for the results of the emperor's diagnosis and treatment, in full public view, the emperor fainted.

Without a clear result, it is impossible to let so many people spread rumors outside.

After all, everyone knows the power of rumors, and many people have seen the power of rumors.

The story of the emperor fainting could easily be spread by several hands and it could be said that the emperor was seriously ill and could not be cured. He died shortly afterward and died directly. There are various versions.

In the absence of clear information about the emperor's physical condition, not to mention the common people, even these civil and military officials will inevitably become panicked.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Han Zhangcai returned to Wende Hall with several senior officials and Shi Shiran:

"Guan Jia has woken up. There is no serious problem. He was just short of breath for a while. After the imperial doctor administered acupuncture and medicine, Guan Jia has woken up and recovered."

Then Han Zhang raised his hand, as if he wanted to convey a message to Zhao Zongquan: "I'm tired of the official instructions. There is insufficient evidence of guilt in Gu Hou's case. After verification, the trial will be held at another day. Please step aside."

Although Han Zhang is very courageous now, he certainly does not have the courage to falsely preach the imperial edict.

Seeing what Han Zhang said, all the civil and military officials resigned and left.

"This person couldn't have done it on purpose again. Zhao Zongquan wouldn't be a great Taoist, and he would have become a disease escaper."

After going out, Sheng Changbai began to wonder in his heart whether Zhao Zongquan did it on purpose again today.

Gu Tingye was accused of patricide and son-killing by his stepmother and the mother of his child.

No matter how he looked at it, it was difficult for Gu Tingye to explain it clearly. It was already a situation where he couldn't argue and couldn't clean himself up.

Under the continuous questioning from Xiao Qin and Zhu Manniang, Gu Tingye could only respond with anger.

In order to rescue Gu Tingye, it is not impossible for Zhao Zongquan to put on another wave.

Still, Sheng Changbai was not of high enough rank and was too far away from the emperor to really see what was going on with Zhao Zongquan.

If Han Zhang had his current status, it would not be difficult to directly feel Zhao Zongquan's pulse and judge the real situation for himself.

However, people in the Lao Zhao family are in poor health, suffer from mental illness, and generally have short lifespans, which is also hereditary.

Although Zhao Zongquan is only over 30 and in his prime, his health cannot be said to be in good shape.

It makes perfect sense that he really fainted from anger.

After all, for such a long time, ever since Zhao Zongquan started to ignore the rules and gave his father the honorary title, Zhao Zongquan had never encountered anything that went well with him.

It's very real to be so depressed when you are an emperor, and to be suppressed into something wrong.

Based on the current situation, it was impossible to determine the emperor's true state. Sheng Changbai still felt uneasy and uncertain.

After lingering at the Yushitai until get off work and going to the Yamen, Sheng Changbai went directly to Hai's house.

After all, my father-in-law still has more status and qualifications than Sheng Changbai. He also went to the side hall today. He knows more about the emperor's physical condition than Sheng Changbai.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Sheng Changbai went straight to the topic. There was no need for the two sons-in-law to be so polite.

After all, the relationship between the two people is indeed unusual, not an ordinary son-in-law relationship.

The children of the Hai family only inherit the blood of father-in-law Hai.

In terms of career, politics, and ideology, Sheng Changbai is the real inheritor.

"Father-in-law, how is Guan Jia's health? Did Guan Jia really faint today?"

"The officials are really angry today. The situation is even a little dangerous. The imperial doctors don't even dare to make bold diagnosis and treatment."

Judging from the performance of the imperial physician, Zhao Zongquan was really seriously ill.

"I thought that when an official was in his prime, he would be able to accomplish something. I didn't expect that the official would act wantonly and be close to traitors. His physical condition is really worrying."

Father-in-law Hai said worriedly that he was also a standard scholar-official with his own political ambitions.

After all, there are many officials in the Hai family. Father-in-law Hai is not short of power. His family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and he is not short of wealth. After studying, Mr. Hai’s father-in-law is not prepared to live alone and wait for death. The place to realize his value is politics.

"Sigh... The Zhou Dynasty has been really in trouble in recent years."

If Zhao Zongquan is really in poor health, it will not be a good thing.

Zhao Zongquan was in poor health and could not manage the affairs of the court, so the rights he gave up were either given to the Queen Mother or to Han Zhang.

In fact, neither is a good choice. These two people have the power and can't do anything serious.

At best, two people can maintain stability, which is not suitable for the current crisis-ridden situation in Dazhou.

Although Zhao Zongquan basically did not do any good things, he also investigated the salt tax, brought a wave of money to the court, and increased the national finance.

In order to save money, he also supported Gu Tingye in carrying out military reforms.

In comparison, Zhao Zongquan still has a work-minded heart.

Those who are willing to do things are better than those who do not. Even if Zhao Zongquan wants to mess around, the officials are not just a showman and will always find a way to stop him.

It is better than waiting for death in a pool of stagnant water in the Great Zhou Dynasty, singing and dancing on the surface.

Since Zhao Zongquan was really ill, of course he could justifiably hide in the harem to recuperate.

Of course, the court meetings will continue. If you don't consider state affairs, no one really likes to go to court and get up before dawn to go to work.

Most people are actually happy to take a short break.

Although the court meeting has been suspended, it does not mean that the court will not operate.

Each government office is still performing its duties step by step.

If there are no new decrees and no unexpected events, it will not have much impact if the North Korean meeting does not resolve the issue.

Bai Dalang and Mannia's case against Gu Tingye will not stop just because the emperor hides back. It will continue to advance with the joint efforts of all parties.

There are really many people who want to mess with Gu Tingye, not to mention Gu Tingye's personal enemies.

After entering the political arena, I also provoked many people and encountered a lot of hostility.

In order to convict Gu Tingye, many people worked hard to investigate the case.

In order to determine whether Gu Tingye tortured and killed his parents and children.

The first thing is to find the child's grave and then try to find out the cause of the child's death.

This child was still very pitiful. It was not mentioned that he died young. After he was buried, he was dug up twice.

Previously, Gu Tingye followed Zhu Manniang and discovered Chang Geer's tomb, so he excavated it to confirm the child's life and death.

The child was buried for the first time with some straw. Not to mention the coffin she prepared for the child, it was the lowest funeral standard, not even a straw mat was prepared for the child.

Gu Tingye buried his child for the second time and had not had enough time to bury him.

And because of the investigation, the grave was dug again after he was buried.

The child is good, but with Gu Tingye as his father and Zhu Manniang as his mother, he has suffered a lot.

Even if he was dug up again, it could not prove Gu Tingye's innocence.Because the body was completely reduced to bones, it was already very incomplete.

There were no injuries on the bones, so the cause of the child's death could not be determined.

Now the only witness is Zhu Manniang, who proves that Gu Tingye killed his son.

There is no other evidence that Gu Tingye killed his son or not.

In the end, this crime cannot be cleared.

Gu Tingye's second crime is patricide.

Gu Tingyu was dead, and the only witness was Rong Feiyan from the nunnery.

The girl was actually quite benevolent and did not step on Gu Tingye just because he abandoned her.

After all, Rong Feiyan was mainly implicated by the Rong family.

Even if it were not Gu Tingye, it would be the result of divorce for any family.

If it were any other family, Rong Feiyan might not be able to get a free man and would be sold into slavery.

Instead, he gave an objective confession.

Gu Yankai was not so angry that he vomited blood in front of Gu Tingye, but after Gu Tingye slammed the door and walked out, Gu Yankai was so angry that he vomited blood.

In fact, it is not bad. It is definitely inaccurate to say that Gu Tingye killed his father.

But it was also true that Gu Yankai was pissed to death by Gu Tingye.

The difference between the two mainly lies in Gu Tingye's motivation, whether he took the initiative to kill Gu Yankai.

Gu Tingye still can't get rid of this crime.

The third thing is that Bai Dalang sued Gu Tingye and seized his own property.

The only evidence of this thing is a suicide note from Mr. Bai, who donated the property of the Bai family to Gu Tingye.

In the absence of any witnesses, Bai Dalang insisted that the suicide note was forged by Gu Tingye.

After all, there is indeed the possibility of forgery in handwriting.

In the case where someone supports Gu Tingye, this suicide note is enough to prove the rationality of Gu Tingye's inheritance.

But in the case where someone wants to mess with Gu Tingye, the evidence such as the suicide note is not that sufficient.

Under the influence of feudal clan ideology, Gu Tingye, the grandson, is just an outsider to Mr. Bai.

Bai Dalang, the eldest nephew who knows how to perform sacrifices at all times, is Mr. Bai's own.

Most people believe that Gu Tingye really occupied the Bai family's property.

After all, Mr. Bai's huge family fortune will not be left to the Bai clan members at all.

In this era, it is indeed something that goes against common sense.

As the case is investigated step by step, the charges become increasingly unclear.

Gu Tingye was also arrested and his personal freedom was restricted.

The attitude of Lao Zhao's family this time was also quite ambiguous, so the Queen Mother's thoughts were pretty sure.

He wanted to convict Gu Tingye and directly remove Zhao Zongquan's thickest arm.

Zhao Zongquan had a vague attitude towards this matter, but kept asking all government offices to make every effort to investigate the case.

There was news somewhere that Zhao Zongquan was afraid of Gu Tingye's rights. Gu Tingye had saved Zhao Zongquan and his son several times, but it was difficult to reward him for his great achievements. In order to avoid losing his tail, the emperor really wanted to suppress Gu Tingye this time.

Zhao Zongquan had no intention of clarifying anything.

Only King Huan looked like he was determined to protect Gu Tingye, but he took no concrete action.

There is also some news that it is said that King Huan and Gu Tingye, the military giants, have too close personal training, which may lead to a repeat of the incident involving Li Er's Xuanwu Sect in the Tang Dynasty.

This kind of news spread like this, so of course King Huan had to stay calm and not dare to take any excessive actions.

"Gu Er, don't just sit there, I'll bring you food and wine."

Sheng Changbai then went on his first prison visit in several lifetimes.

I brought some wine and meat to Gu Tingye for a visit.

In addition to the superficial visit and condolences, Sheng Changbai also came over to touch Gu Tingye's bottom.

"When I was very proud, so many people fawned over me. Now that I'm down and out, only you, Sheng Changbai, can bring some food and wine to see me."

Even after living in prison, Gu Tingye was still a bit careless.

This attitude towards life is still okay, I have experienced too many ups and downs in life.

I have been stepped into the quagmire and stood on the top of the mountain, and my mind has been tempered.

"How come there is no one else? Even if there is no one else, haven't the generals from Yuzhou come to see you?"

The best people in Chaozhong and Gu Tingye are the members of the Yuzhou gang.
We shared windows together, carried guns together, went whoring together, and shared stolen goods together.

These people are all under Zhao Zongquan, and it can be said that they have done all these things.

"The officials are now afraid of me. How can they come to visit me? If they come here, won't they make the officials even more afraid of me? It's for my own good that they don't come to see me."

Gu Tingye replied while eating and drinking.

"Even if you are in this prison, you are still well-informed."

He can also learn all kinds of news from the outside. Gu Tingye's situation should not be too bad.

"These people behind the scenes are so dedicated to getting rid of me, and they are doing everything possible to kill me. No matter how big-hearted I am about the news spread, I can't really care at all."

Gu Tingye obviously believed that during this period, these true and false news were spread by a group of people headed by the Queen Mother.

Sheng Changbai's thoughts were indeed consistent with Gu Tingye's thoughts.

However, there are still some objections. It is true that the news was spread by the Queen Mother, but Sheng Changbai also believed that the connivance of Zhao Zongquan was indispensable for the news to spread.

"Sigh...you do have more enemies."

Not to mention those caused by official matters, the Bai family, the Xiao Qin family, Zhu Manniang and Gu Tingyu all had personal grievances.

After entering the political arena, he was suddenly promoted to a high position, which naturally aroused the envy, jealousy and hatred of many noble military officers.

Then Zhao Zongquan was unpopular, and Gu Tingye was considered by civil servants to be Zhao Zongquan's biggest accomplice.

Together with Han Zhang, they were the two biggest traitors around the emperor.

"If I am really accused of leaving the capital, my sister Rong will be entrusted to you."

Gu Tingye said this somewhat suddenly.

"No, it won't come to this. No matter what, it will have to go through the official family in the end."

Although Gu Tingye could not be completely freed from this crime, he was not sentenced to death.

It is no more serious than the crimes of Shen, Geng, and Duan Zhiliu before, and how to punish them is still in Zhao Zongquan's mind.
