Zhu Er hurriedly entered the room, bowed to Lu Junzhao, before he bent halfway, Lu Junzhao kicked him on the buttocks.

"Idiot!" Lu Junzhao stared at Zhu Er, grinding his teeth viciously, "Say it!"

Zhu Er staggered and fell to the ground. He didn't care about the pain in his butt at the moment. He got up swiftly and said hastily, "I'm sorry. Ma'am, let me calm down, don't get angry..."

As soon as these words came out, the tea that Xining Wang had just drank in his mouth spurted out, splashing the tea on the table, and the hand holding the teacup was also naked.The king of Xining coughed and laughed, and hurriedly threw away the teacup while shaking his head and laughing, and took the handkerchief to wipe his hands.

Lu Junzhao's face darkened in an instant, his face was tense, he glanced at King Xining unkindly, and then stared at Zhu Er coldly.

As soon as the words came out, Zhu Er wanted to slap himself. Seeing his father's gloomy face, his heart trembled, his mind turned quickly, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Madam is worried about you, please don't worry about her, Madam I also said, wait for the master to go back and make up the dumplings for the Chinese New Year."

Lu Junzhao's face was still tense, but his eyes softened a lot.

Zhu Er secretly heaved a sigh of relief, only feeling that his hands and feet had lost half of his strength.Hey, Master's temper can only be improved by going to Madam's place, no, it's not a little bit, it's like a different person.

King Xining squinted at Zhu Er, then glanced at Lu Junzhao's secretly gentle and complacent appearance, raised his eyebrows and coughed.He tapped Zhu Er's arm and scolded: "You kid ran back and forth, and you only brought these two sentences?"

Lu Junzhao frowned, and cast a gloomy sideways glance at King Xining.The tone was not very polite and he snorted coldly: "That's what Ah Wan gave me!"

The king of Xining stared at him, frowned, opened his mouth, and caught his breath in his throat, neither laughing nor laughing, then he just gave Lu Junzhao a stare, and fell back on the chair, hating iron for not being steel He sighed heavily.

Seeing this, Zhu Er's previous idea of ​​trembling has long since disappeared.At this moment, I was holding back my full stomach, glanced at Lu Junzhao's face, grinned again, and said, "Your subordinate looks good looking at Madam. Ge Sanniang said that Madam is in good health and there is nothing to worry about." Worried. Besides, Master Shi just left not long ago. Second Master Shi and Uncle Zhao went to Beirongyuan to meet his wife and gave the New Year gift. His subordinates heard from Changshou that Second Master Shi was good-looking, but he was a bit unruly and Madam assigned to investigate the rumors in the Liang Mansion. Madam meant that Erye Shi had to take the school exam again. Madam also said, cough cough. Let me see Erye Shi when I go back. One is beautiful. It's a pity not to see it."

Lu Junzhao hummed, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, like the green buds suddenly blooming on the thin willow branches by the river in spring, soft and warm.

The king of Xining raised his eyebrows, spilled half of the hot tea he had just put on, choked the water into his throat, and coughed several times.

Zhu Er blinked his eyes.From the corner of the eye, he glanced at King Xining, and then at his master.Heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, he hurriedly put down the gossip and got down to business: "There has been no movement at the other end of the Yuanjiang River. Madam said that grassland Babu and Beiyan are tired of watching so much. If you want to fight or not, go with the couple." It's like a quarrel that never ends, so we might as well add another fire."

Zhu Er paused when he said this, his tone suddenly hesitated, he glanced at Lu Junzhao, and coughed in an uneasy tone: "Madam also said that the king of Beiyan Liang gave it to the Lord last year. The beauty, the Lord confiscated it. Didn't even return the gift. Ask the Lord and the prince, do you want to send a gift to King Beiyan Liang?"

King Xining's originally wide eyes suddenly lit up a little, and then he raised his eyebrows and laughed: "This girl is so sloppy, she really is from Lao Tzu's Lu family! Well, well, it makes sense, it makes sense! It's time to send a gift!"

The smile on Lu Junzhao's face froze for a moment, and he glared at King Xining with a black face, obviously showing some disdain and disgust.In the end, he kicked Zhu Er's shoulder again, frowned, and grunted expressionlessly.

The king of Xining tilted Lu Junzhao triumphantly, covered his stomach and laughed, and simply stopped drinking tea, jumped up and pointed at Lu Junzhao and yelled: "Your daughter-in-law may make a fuss in the north, and you should also fight for me. This capital city should be more lively than the north.” As he said that, a cold light flashed in his eyes very quickly, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Since the emperor deliberately gave a gift, I naturally have to give him a gift in return. !"

The corners of Lu Junzhao's eyebrows frowned, and he glanced at King Xining indifferently, and the corners of his mouth moved down, obviously showing impatience and irritability, but there was some sparse tenderness hidden in his eyes.

At this moment, King Xining's heart was at ease, he didn't even stare, he just raised his eyebrows at Lu Junzhao, his face was radiant.Then he waved his hands and hummed a tune proudly and triumphantly.

The night was getting darker, the snow was falling heavily, and the north wind was howling and roaring, making the doors and windows creak and rattle.

Different from the peace and joy of the Xining Palace, the Gu family's mansion is surprisingly quiet at the moment, and there is a depressive and dull atmosphere over the study.The yard was also quiet, the servants and maids all retreated far away, only the branches of the trees blown by the howling wind could be seen in the yard, and there was no one.

In the room, the Eldest Prince sat at the head, with a gloomy expression, obviously a bit of suppressed anger, staring unkindly at the young boy who was kneeling on the ground, dressed as a servant.

Gu Changwen sat on the lower right of the first prince, with no expression on his face, his eyes were deep and dark, and he twirled his beard with his fingers.

The second master, Gu Chang, frowned tightly, curled up his fingers, and tapped on the table, showing some uneasiness and worry on his face.

The third master Gu Changzhou's face was gloomy and cold, he stared coldly at the kneeling boy, and then kicked him, right on his chest.

The young man let out a muffled grunt, swayed his body, fell backwards unsteadily, quickly supported the ground with his hands, got up trembling with his hands and feet under the cold eyes of several people, bowed his head and knelt down again With a trembling voice, there was a bit of panic: "Forgive me, sir, I have really heard so much. The nobleman kept people from approaching, and I only vaguely heard this, saying that Xishan Daying, thousands of Elite soldiers. What. There is nothing else, I dare not hide it..."

"Useless stuff!" Gu Changzhou's eyes were dark and he kicked it again.

A trace of sternness and impatience flashed across the eldest prince's face, and he said in a cold voice: "Gu Langzhong has a bit of a temper, a servant, what can you hear? Let him go out."

Gu Changzhou's face froze, his heart sank slightly, and then he lowered his eyes to hide the flash of sarcasm and coldness in his black eyes.Standing up, he cupped his hands towards the eldest prince, but smiled very naturally on his face: "I lost my composure for a while, I hope you will forgive me."

As he spoke, he turned his head and stared at the boy, kicked him, and shouted, "Get lost!"

The boy's face was pale, and his body trembled at the roar.Then he hurriedly agreed, climbed up with hands and feet, turned half a circle and kowtowed to the people in the room, and then fled out in panic.

The eldest prince looked at the young servant's frightened back, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Don't let this bold and reckless young servant go back."

Gu Changzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.A gleam of light flashed in his slanted eyes, and he answered yes with a busy smile.Folded out.

"Since these words came from Ye Shengnan, Ye Shengnan and Ye Shengying have always been at odds, and this time the stalemate is because of the Xishan camp." The first prince squeezed the teacup tightly in his hand, with the corners of his mouth raised, and his smile was cold and stern, " Looking at it this way, the previous news is somewhat credible. Ye Shengying's [-] elite soldiers have already arrived at the Xishan Camp. What does Xiang Xiang think?"

"What the uncle said is true." Gu Changwen twirled his beard and nodded, looked at the eldest prince with a serious face and suggested, "The old minister thinks that the Ye family's move is a big taboo, and it must offend the holy wrath. The crime should indeed be impeached!"

The smile in the eldest prince's eyes deepened, the coldness and sternness on his face subsided slightly, he stood up and bowed his hands to Gu Changwen and praised: "President Gu's words are not bad."

Gu Changwen hurriedly stood up and gave way.

Gu Changqi also stood up, staring at the expressions of the two of them, he was confused for a while, his eyebrows almost wrinkled to one place, he opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, several old censors at Yushitai, who had been silent for a long time, handed over several papers tremblingly.In this book, there are those who impeached Wen Guogong, some who impeached the Chen family, and some who impeached the Gu family. They are all commonplace.

The last few letters were impeachment of the Ye family, and the words were extremely fierce.The censors all had their beards trembling, standing in the main hall and counting the Ye family's crimes with righteous indignation.It is said that the Ye family supported the soldiers with self-respect, arrogant and arrogant, privately dispatched and stationed troops, and brought troops into Beijing without the holy will, with bad intentions... The words directly pointed out that the Ye family deceived the king.

What the censors said was spitting, and their faces were flushed.Several younger gray-bearded old men grabbed their beards when they got excited, stared straight at the two generals of the Ye family and questioned them directly.

"I'm in a panic, please look into it." Ye Shengying didn't pay attention to the censor at all, but strode forward, pleading guilty to Emperor Cheng Ming calmly.

Emperor Cheng Ming looked at the old censors in the court hall with a gloomy expression, getting more and more excited as they talked, his eyes gradually sank, obviously suppressing his anger.

After finally waiting for several old censors to take turns to impeach him, Gu Changwen took a step forward, saluted respectfully, and pleaded guilty: "I'm negligent in my duties, and I'll let the Holy One punish me."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Hongzheng also apologized.

As the chief minister of the cabinet and a model of civil and military officials, it is a bit subtle to say this plea.

At this moment, the eyes of the ministers moved to Wei Xiang who was calm and calm at the side in a very tacit understanding.

"The old minister has neglected his duties," Wei Xiang apologized calmly under the gaze of everyone, and then added a sentence without haste, "Please also ask the Holy One to observe clearly."

The king of Xining blushed a long time ago and couldn't stand still. Seeing what Xiang Wei said, he jumped out with a flick of his sleeves, pushed Wei Xiang away, and snorted angrily: "Everyone knows what to say is useless!"

As he spoke, he cupped his hands to Emperor Cheng Ming, and shouted in a somewhat exasperated tone: "This dynasty has had an ancestral system since the founding of the country, and foreign generals are not allowed to lead troops into Beijing without authorization. This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

King Xining's angry complaints and yelling made the officials lose their minds for a moment.

Standing in the corner, Wang Chengren glanced at Emperor Cheng Ming with a gloomy complexion on the main hall, and then at King Xining. A thought suddenly flashed between calcium carbide sparks, his eye sockets shrank suddenly, his heart thumped, and his palms soaked. A layer of sweat.

"My minister seconded the proposal, this matter must be clearly investigated, neither condoned nor wrongly judged." Qian Deliang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, also spoke.

The old censors of the Yushitai jumped out and cursed a few words, and also asked the sage to observe clearly.

An early court, another debate, but this time the debate is about a unified opinion, check.The only difference is how to check and who will check.The Xishan Camp is a military camp directly under the royal family, but this time it was involved, so how to investigate it is very delicate.

This matter involved the establishment of the crown prince both openly and secretly, and the situation was unclear. Many adults in the court tacitly kept silent, watching the debate with cold eyes.
