Supreme peasant girl to turn over

Chapter 290 Sleeping in the Great Hall
After the emperor listened, he remained silent and did not speak. Prince Gu Qinghui still had a warm smile on his face, but cold sweat gradually began to break out on his back.

He should have expected it a long time ago, damn it, but at first he thought this was just an ordinary bandit, so he gave it up if he knew that they were going for his iron mine Yes, even being reprimanded by the emperor for short-sightedness is better than being exposed.

But the matter is coming to an end, so he can only think of a way to get over this matter now, but fortunately he has a concubine who was once loved by Master Nalan, the young minister of Dali Temple, and now he has to relax a little bit from this place.

But right now, if the father pursues the iron mine, he can only push the matter out. It is better to pour dirty water on others than on himself.

The people in the whole hall were a little bit on pins and needles because of the emperor's silence. When everyone was almost unable to stand still, they heard soft snoring from the dragon chair, and it turned out that the emperor fell asleep directly.

Gu Qingyan didn't know whether he was angry or disappointed, but he couldn't help but speak now. He gave Lu Ming a look. Lu Ming was embarrassed there, how dare he disturb the emperor's sleep?What's more, in the entire hall, I am afraid that few people dare to wake up the sleeping emperor.

Just when everyone was a little at a loss, the emperor's hand supporting his head suddenly tilted, he snorted a few times in a daze, and woke up.

Clearing his throat, the emperor asked, "Oh, are you done?"

Lu Ming had no choice but to say: "Go back to Your Majesty, it's over."

"Ah - after a long yawn, the emperor stretched again, remembering what Concubine Shu said to him before going to bed yesterday, he said, "What are you talking about? It's so long. Brief summary. "

Lu Ming had no choice but to think again and said: "Return to Your Majesty, when I was suppressing the bandits, I found a group of private soldiers digging iron ore and casting weapons. From these people, I found the token of His Royal Highness."

After finishing speaking, he took out the token from his bosom.

It was a square token with the word "Hui" written on it, and it was inscribed by the Prince's Mansion, so it was undoubtedly a token of the Prince's Mansion.

It is no small matter to mine iron ore privately, let alone such sensitive things as weapons, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

The emperor asked casually: "Prince, what do you want to say?"

Gu Qinghui took a step forward and said: "Father, this minister is wronged. I don't know what kind of iron ore, and I don't know what kind of weapons. Besides, I don't have any private soldiers at all, and I don't have my own fief. Raising private soldiers!"

"Oh? So, if you are made a prince, won't you be raising private soldiers?" The emperor raised his voice slightly, as if he was a little displeased.

After the princes became princes, they would go to their respective fiefs. Although they were under the control of the court, some princes would still raise private soldiers in order to satisfy their own selfish desires and to protect themselves.

But the jurisdiction that such private soldiers receive will only come from the prince, not the court, so to a certain extent, this kind of behavior is a threat to the imperial power. soldiers.

While Gu Qinghui looked calm, he was actually a little flustered in his heart, otherwise he would not have said such obvious loopholes.

After the emperor found a loophole, Gu Qinghui forced himself to calm down and said, "Father, it's because of my inaccurate use of words. I hope my father will forgive me. What I mean by this is that no matter what, I will not, and it is impossible for me to raise money." A private soldier. The loyalty of the ministers to the emperor can be learned from the sun and the moon."

Gu Qingyan felt disgusted when he saw his serious look, there was nothing to learn from it, whether it was seriousness or hypocrisy, he knew very well that such behavior could only be done by a pious person like Gu Qinghui.

But now what he has to do is to play Tai Chi with Gu Qinghui, you come and go, see who is better, and the bet on it is his wealth and life.

The emperor believed in Gu Qinghui very much, but now this matter is too serious, as the prince, Gu Qinghui's best course of action is to avoid suspicion and let people who have nothing to do with him find out.

In order to get rid of Gu Qinghui's suspicion, Gu Qingyan specially stepped forward and bowed: "Father, Brother Huang must have been wronged. There may be some hidden secrets in this matter. I believe in Brother Huang's character."

It must be a generation who is not as good as the outside.

He swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach.

The emperor waved his hand casually: "Since you caused the trouble, you should take care of it. If it involves your brother, let Zhengqing and Shaoqing of Dali Temple accompany you."

Gu Qingyan made a terrified look: "My son is terrified, fearing that it will be difficult for me to take on a big responsibility, and I will not be able to return my brother's innocence."

The emperor looked impatient: "So much nonsense, if you are told to do it, do it!"

Gu Qingyan's slight refusal made Gu Qinghui look at him less dangerous, and Gu Qingyan was slightly relieved. Doing so made Gu Qinghui feel that someone framed him, not him, Gu Qingyan. .

Coupled with the emperor's diametrically opposed attitudes towards him and Gu Qinghui just now, he must be as proud as Gu Qinghui, and would despise him, an unfavored prince.

Coupled with the father-in-law Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Gu Qinghui felt more confident.

After dealing with this matter, the emperor seemed to feel a little impatient, so he waved his hand casually: "Are you alright, all amigos? If you have nothing to do, retreat."

After the oolong about the emperor going to sleep just now, all the ministers did not dare to delay the obviously displeased emperor to sleep, so they all said nothing happened, and then the eunuch next to the emperor sang in a shrill voice: " Retire—”

After leaving court, Gu Qingyan walked two steps forward to Gu Qinghui's side, and said with a concerned face: "Brother Huang, I believe you must have been wronged. I will definitely find out the truth and let your grievances come to light."

Gu Qinghui was clearly unhappy in his heart, but he put on a mask and said: "Ping Huan, Brother Huang, I believe you will be able to do it, don't tire yourself out, and take a good rest."

The two brothers, with their own ghosts, acted like brothers and sisters in front of the ministers. Only the second prince, Gu Qingmu, passed by in silence.

Although Gu Qinghui still had some doubts, but seeing Gu Qingyan's sincerity, he put all his doubts on Gu Qingmu. How could he think that it was the sincere-looking Gu Qingyan who did it?
What's more, he wasn't wronged in this matter. He just hoped that this idiot fourth brother could help him find a good scapegoat. , when the time comes, he will find a scapegoat and push it out, and nothing will happen.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghui felt relaxed all over.Putting this matter in the hands of the fourth child is much better than the second child who has been waiting to catch his pigtails all day long.
