The concubine rushed forward!

Chapter 1 The Cause
As soon as October's Shanghai Youshi passed, it became cold outside, the bustling streets began to quiet down, and the light of the candles began to become sparse.

But the Anyang Hou Mansion is still brightly lit. In the pine and cypress courtyard where the big house is located, the eldest son's wife, Mrs. Li, is serving the eldest son Gu Mingyuan. Just after cleaning his hands, he asked the servant girl to serve tea: "Master is late, have you used it?" Is it ready for dinner? I asked the kitchen to warm up the soup, and brought a bowl for my grandfather to warm up."

"Alright." Eldest son Gu Mingyuan nodded, frowning slightly, sitting on the soft couch with a lot of thoughts, and hasn't said a few words since he came back.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Li didn't say much, she lowered her head and continued to look at her account book.

Three months ago, Gu Mingyuan was involved in the Yangzhou governor's corruption case of ink payment. Because of the huge amount of ink corruption, the current emperor became angry and almost wiped out all the people involved in the connection.

Gu Mingyuan panicked all of a sudden, and then he went back to the Hou Mansion and told the truth to the old Hou Ye, and was severely reprimanded. In the end, the old Hou Ye stepped forward and walked around, only to let Gu Mingyuan follow the third-rank Guanglu The minister of the temple was demoted to the fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and he was able to retain an official position in Beijing without being demoted out of Beijing.

The old Hou Ye sued the old former official to worship as a first-class official, and the Anyang Hou Mansion at that time was considered hot with bare hands.

However, in the past few years, the new emperor ascended the throne and gradually began to weaken the rights of the clan and aristocratic families, and the Anyang Marquis Mansion was not as good as before.

This time something happened, and even the right to go to court was lost. Gu Mingyuan was embarrassed to go out only to keep such a fifth-rank official. A son of the Marquis Mansion has only such a small official position and no real power. It's embarrassing to hear.

Gu Mingyuan has been squeezed by people everywhere in the past three months. Thinking of the way those people complimented him before, he felt very angry. He took a sip of the hot soup brought by the maid, looked at Mrs. Li and asked: "Pan Ci Are you okay in Kangjun Wangfu?"

Mrs. Li was a little surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect him to suddenly ask about her daughter.

Then he put the account book in his hand aside, thinking of his daughter's grievances in the Kangjun Palace, his tone was a bit bad: "Ci'er is the most sensible, and he always reports good news but not bad news when he comes back. A few days ago, someone brought back supplements. , Said it was for the family to make up for it. And let the concubine relax and say that she is doing well, and the Kangjun Palace has never made things difficult for her. But..."

Gu Panci is the eldest daughter of Gu Mingyuan and the Li family. She has been well-behaved, sensible, talented and beautiful since she was a child, and she has an exquisite heart when she grows up. It is not a boast to anyone who sees her. Pass.

Mrs. Li dotes on this daughter the most. A few years ago, she chose a son-in-law for Gu Pan's resignation. Mrs. Li put in a lot of effort to choose a son-in-law, but she was not satisfied. The Li family didn't let go many times, but in the end it was Gu Mingyuan who felt that the Kang County Prince's Mansion was profitable, so he finalized the marriage.

But in the past few years, the Anyang Marquis's mansion has been in decline. The prince of Kangjun waited for Gu Panci as before, but the concubine of Kangjun began to criticize everywhere, full of dissatisfaction and regret.

Although Gu Panci never went home to talk about it, Li Shi actually knew it very well, and he was even more angry in his heart, not only angry at the shamelessness of the Kang County Prince's House, but also angry at Gu Mingyuan for marrying for profit and harming his daughter.

Gu Mingyuan frowned even more after listening to Li Shi's words. Some time ago, King Kang refused to help clear up the relationship, so he knew in his heart that this in-law relationship was useless.

It's just that he got a piece of news today. This news is afraid that it will shake the whole of Shangjing, and the clan and aristocratic families in Beijing may be in bad luck, so he started to panic badly.

He originally thought that he would talk to the old master and the old lady early in the morning, but he still had no idea in his heart, and he couldn't feel at ease for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Mrs. Li thought he was still angry with the Prince Kang's mansion. She glanced at his face, and she didn't dare to say any more, so she said: "Master, it's getting late, I will take a break to serve the Lord." Bar."

Gu Mingyuan was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at this moment, thinking about the news. "No, I'm going to see my parents, I have something to talk about." Then she stood up and asked the servant girl to take the coat.

Li was taken aback for a moment: "Now? I'm afraid my father and mother have already fallen asleep."

Before Li's words fell, Gu Mingyuan had already put on his clothes and gone out, and he was nowhere to be seen for a long time.

The servants of Deoksugin came to tell the time, and the old Hou Ye and the old lady were about to go to bed.The guard at night said that it was Gu Mingyuan who asked to see him, so the old lady got up and asked the nanny to take care of her simple dressing.

The old Hou Ye didn't want to see him at first, but when he saw that the old lady was up, he was reluctant to let the servant girl wait for him to put on his shoes, and said a little dissatisfied: "It's so late, I can't explain what's going on. How old is he?" How can you still be so ignorant of the rules when you are old?"

The old lady gave him a stern look, knowing that he was still angry at her eldest son for being involved in the ink corruption case. "Yuan'er must have something important to say, otherwise she wouldn't come to see her in a hurry. My son has suffered a lot these days, so don't say a few words for a while."

The old master Hou snorted coldly, "He is a son of the Hou family, honestly, it is not impossible for him to be a second-rank when he is old. I told him when he became an official that he should not get involved in anything if his brain is not good. If it wasn't for me this time If he comes forward, he can't even keep this fifth-rank official. If you are so stupid, don't you blame me as a father for not being able to do it." The more the old master said, the more angry he became, and his voice became louder.

The old lady just finished tidying up, and when she heard this, she sighed secretly: "Listen to what Yuan'er said first, he has also learned his lesson this time, so don't rush to get angry."

Gu Mingyuan had been waiting in the hall of Deoksugin for a long time, and he heard a few words of the old Houye's angry words, and his face turned dark immediately, thinking that this was in Deoksugin, so he quickly straightened his expression.

After a while, the old Hou Ye and the old lady came in from the bedroom at the back, and Gu Mingyuan hurriedly stood up to greet him.

After sitting down, and waiting for the servant girl to serve hot tea, the old Hou Ye said: "Get up, come to see me and your mother this evening, what are you fussing about?"

Gu Mingyuan heard that the old Hou Ye's tone was not very good, and he also knew that he was unhappy, so he didn't sit down, and said in a gesture of asking for peace: "Please forgive me, father, it is because my son has got some new news, and he is very anxious, so he has to come Ask father to make up his mind."

Old Hou Ye saw that his expression was indeed a little uneasy, and his attitude was sincere. He believed him a little, and raised his hand: "Sit down."

Gu Mingyuan just sat down and looked at the people around him. When the old lady saw her, she said, "Everyone go out, Sister Lin, you go and guard the door."

Nanny Lin was brought by the old lady from her natal home. At the beginning, she was a close maid, but after decades of following the old lady, she has become the nanny in charge. She is the most trustworthy.

Gu Mingyuan saw that everyone had gone out, so he leaned forward and hurriedly said in a low voice: "Father, my son got the news, and our aristocratic families are going to be demoted and attacked after a while."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the sky.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the old Hou Ye suddenly lifted up, and the hand of the old lady holding the teacup also shook violently.

The old Hou Ye looked serious, and put the teacup in his hand on the short table with a click, his whole back stood up: "Where did you hear this news?"

Gu Mingyuan also knew that the matter was of great importance: "Today my son went out to have tea, and the son of the protector next door was drunk and scolded loudly. My son was shocked when he heard it. After I came out, I sent my servants to inquire again. The Duke’s House, the Duke’s House of the Protector and several other clansmen’s Marquis House already know about it.”

When the old Hou Ye heard that the news had been spread, he was taken aback for a moment, and then his face darkened.The thumb and index finger rubbed together unconsciously, thinking of something, the more he thought about it, the worse his complexion became.

After a whole stick of incense, he didn't speak.

Seeing the old Hou Ye like this, Gu Mingyuan panicked: "Father!"

After a long while, the old Hou Ye sighed as if accepting his fate, "I'm afraid this matter is a foregone conclusion. Since the current emperor has been on the throne for three years, he has acted resolutely and resolutely, and there is nothing that cannot be done. If it is not With full confidence, this news will not spread.”

After hearing this, Gu Mingyuan became a little anxious: "Father, my son also heard that the son of the Huguogong said that the Huguogong had contacted several clan families and planned to play together. The son also felt that there are so many people in this clan. If we unite together, the emperor is afraid..."

"Stupid, now that the news has been spread, the emperor is now waiting for who will be the first bird, and the protector is so anxious to die, so let him go and play together? I'm afraid it's not in the emperor's favor. You want to mix it up What, what? It's not enough to be demoted, now you want to drag the entire Anyang Marquis Mansion to death?"

The old Hou Ye slapped the short case hard, and he was really about to be pissed to death by the stupidity of his eldest son. These clans and aristocratic families, which family has not had dirty things for so many years, usually no one finds out. In this situation, the emperor I'm afraid that if you find out all the handles, it's fine if you go to the novel. If you go big and say that one big hat after another will be buckled for you, I'm not afraid that you will not die.

Anyang Marquis Mansion is still an earl even if it is descended to a noble, but if it is targeted by the current emperor, it will be a dead end.Besides, the emperor hasn't formally issued an order yet, is he in a hurry to jump out and give away the head?

Gu Mingyuan's face turned pale when he was scolded, and he remembered the style of the current emperor, so he dared not speak out.

But if he could only attack the earl, he would be really unwilling to do so. He felt that the matter was so important that the emperor might not be able to do it because of the many relatives and families involved.

Seeing the son's expression, the old Hou Ye knew what he was thinking, and immediately felt helpless, but he dared not say a few more words: "This is a big event. Before the emperor passed away, he had already started planning. It's a pity that the late emperor's body was getting weaker and weaker at that time, so he put it on hold. But this matter has been prepared for six or seven years, otherwise, how could the rights of the clan and the aristocratic family become smaller and smaller."

The old Hou Ye sighed, if it wasn't for this, he would not have retreated early, so that the Anyang Hou Mansion now looks like a defeat. "Your majesty has been preparing for this matter since he ascended the throne, and now it has reached the point where even if he makes an order, it will not hurt the fundamentals. This matter will affect the whole body. You should use your brain to think about it. If you want to die Don't take the Hou's mansion with you, the emperor may make some moves these days, just watch."

After all, Old Hou Ye gave Gu Mingyuan another warning look, turned and went back to the dormitory.

The old lady who had been silent all this time said at this time: "Go back and rest first, and think about what your father said."

The old lady looked directly at Gu Mingyuan, and she felt guilty for a while before she got up and went back to the dormitory.

"Yes, send mother off respectfully." Gu Mingyuan stood up and saluted.
