Everyone present could clearly hear Mrs. Gu's apology note just now, and every word on the note was aggressive, as if it wanted to put Gu Yuan to death.

It is conceivable that if Gu Yuan is convicted, from now on, the reputation of the eldest prince will inevitably be tainted. Both the common people and the courtiers will question whether Gu Yuan is acting on the order of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince is the emperor's only son, and everyone knows that the emperor will make him the prince sooner or later.

Once the eldest prince has this stain, those noble families can use this as an excuse to oppose the emperor's establishment of the heir.

His heart is simply sinister.

The more those censors thought about it, the more indignant they became, and their sharp eyes shot at Gu Jian like countless sharp arrows, their contempt and contempt could not be concealed.

The Dingyuan Hou's Mansion is obviously honorable, but it wants to favor those aristocratic families. It has no position and no principles.

Every time they thought that the family was secretly instigating Lian Yushi to hit the wall, their dislike for the family doubled, and they were very disdainful of Gu Jian's actions.

Seeing that the situation was showing a one-sided momentum, Xiao Shoufu was even more reluctant to stand out, and raised his hand irritably to dust off the dust on his robe, making a decision in his heart.

It's useless to control the Dingyuanhou's mansion, so why should he make a fuss.

Gu Jian waited and waited, but couldn't wait for the rescue from the aristocratic family. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on her head, and her whole body was chilled to the bone.

He persuaded his mother to impeach Gu Yuan for the sake of King Kang, but now that something happened to their Gu family, these aristocratic families seemed to be throwing off their burdens, and they couldn't wait to separate themselves from the Gu family!

Really chilling!

Gu Jian was trembling all over, and turned her head to look at the emperor again in panic, her neck was so stiff that her bones rattled.

The emperor by the window was still silent. Under the backlight, the emperor's facial features seemed a bit blurred, and his eyes were deep and dark.

The emperor slowly picked up a white piece from the chess box, seeming to be thinking or hesitating.

The more the emperor remained silent, the more frightened Gu Jian became, and his whole body went numb.

No one in the Gu family spoke, and no one in the aristocratic family spoke, so I heard the envoys talking non-stop, I just wish I could take off Gu Jian's scarlet robe embroidered with unicorn patches right now.

Those voices could no longer reach Gu Jian's ears, her ears were buzzing, she just stared blankly at the emperor until her eyes began to feel dry and sore.

I don't know how long it took, but the emperor who drank a few sips of tea said slowly: "Gu Jian made a false accusation of deceiving the emperor, the evidence of the crime is convincing, and Gu Yao and Gu Xuan have made great military achievements for the great scene... "

Hearing this, Gu Jian's almost desperate eyes lit up slightly, and his eyes widened, thinking that there was still room for change.

Pounding!

Gu Jian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. The next moment, the emperor's aloof eyes met him, and he finished his sentence without anger or anger: "I will punish you lightly, and I will only dismiss Gu Jian from his post and seize his title. Bar."

These words were like a thunderbolt exploding in Gu Jian's ears.

Gu Jian's eyes darkened, and she almost fainted, as if she had swallowed gall, and a bitter taste spread from her mouth to her heart.

The title belongs to him, he has worked hard for eight years before the Hou Mansion has improved, how could his title be taken away? !

It shouldn't be!

It shouldn't be like this!

This thought echoed in Gu Jian's mind repeatedly.

His eyes turned red, and his intestines turned green with regret: Today they shouldn't have made this confession.

and mother...

They clearly agreed to let her kneel at the palace gate for a while and then leave, why would she tell Gu Yuan nonsense about being a concubine! Otherwise, how could things have developed to this point of no return!

Thinking of this, Gu Jian's gaze towards Mrs. Gu was tinged with resentment, and her eyes became gloomy and violent little by little.

"The emperor is just!" Han Yushi took the lead in saying loudly.

The other censors also echoed one after another, praising the emperor for being fair and talking about old feelings, he is indeed a benevolent emperor.

In the minds of these imperial censors, Gu Jian's lying in front of the imperial court was a crime of deceiving the emperor and a disgrace in front of the imperial court, so he should be convicted and exiled as a punishment.

But after all, the emperor was looking at the great contributions made by the Gu family ancestors for the court, and he only dismissed Gu Jian from his post and seized the title, which was also the emperor's mercy.

The emperor glanced at the crowd, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and dropped a white piece on the chessboard, taking advantage of the opportunity to eat four black pieces, feeling that his few moves were really wonderful.

He raised his eyebrows and winked at Chu Yi who was sitting opposite him.

Chu Yi smiled slightly, and the warm sunlight coated his fair face and apricot-yellow robe with a faint layer of gold leaf, reflecting his radiance.

He calmly made another move, and said with a smile: "Father, Gu Yuan has meritorious escort..."

The emperor's heart moved, his bright eyes rolled slightly, and he said, "This title..."

The emperor wanted to say that this title is worse than giving it to Gu Yuan, but after only a few words, Chu Yi interrupted it appropriately: "This title is a gift from Emperor Taizu to the Gu family, although the Gu family today cannot afford the title."

Speaking of this, Chu Yi's eyes lightly swept over the sweaty Gu Jian, of course what he said was that Gu Jian could not afford the title.

His eyes finally fell on Gu Yuan's tall and straight figure, full of smiles, "But if the younger generations have the style of being their ancestors and make outstanding contributions to the country and the people, the title of Marquis of Dingyuan can still be returned." To the Gu family."

The princes and nobles of the Dajing Dynasty were rare, and they were all heroes who followed the founding of the Taizu. It's just a count.

In the fifty years since the founding of the Dajing Dynasty, three marquises and two uncles have been confiscated, and there are not many honorable people.

"What do you think, father?" Chu Yi asked the emperor with a smile.

Knowing his son's intentions, the emperor laughed heartily, clapped his hands openly and said, "Okay, that's very good!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness." Gu Yuan clasped his fists in a serious manner, his eyes shone like the warm sun outside the window, because Chu Yi's words just now were full of emotion.

He still remembers one day when he was four years old, his father asked him with a smile: "Brother Yuan, when you grow up, do you want Daddy's Longyuan Sword?"

At that time, he nodded vigorously and said, "Yes!"

My father asked again: "What will you do if this sword is taken away or even destroyed before your father passes it to you?"

For him who was still young at that time, his father's sword was the best sword in the world. He was very sad and cried loudly.

Dad told him the story of Longyuan Sword. Longyuan Sword was a famous sword captured by Dad Jiguan when he went to the Northwest to suppress bandits that year. Cut iron like mud.

"Brother Yuan, the Longyuan sword is not the only sword in this world, would you like to find a better sword to honor your father?" Finally, his father asked him jokingly.

At that time, he himself wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and said angrily: "Yes!"

He wants to, and he can.

Even if the Longyuan Sword is gone, even if the title of the Hou Mansion is gone, it's okay.

He still has these hands and feet, and he can earn this glory back by himself!

"..." The patriarch's face was ashen-colored, but at this moment, there was a faint hope in his ashen eyes.

With the great importance that the eldest prince attaches to Gu Yuan, he will definitely use him again, which also means that their Gu family still has hope to regain their former glory and glory.

The imperial envoys present were a little surprised, and they looked at Chu Yi with a little more appreciation and respect.

They also thought that the eldest prince wanted to support Gu Yuan, and would take advantage of Gu Jian's mistake to propose to give Gu Yuan the title. Instead, he gave the title to Erfang, Xianyong Xinbo's second brother.

It is also common to read on the merits of the ancestors of noble families.

However, when it comes to the Dingyuanhou Mansion, Gu Yuan is bad because he has a father like Gu Ce.

Although Gu Yuan had meritorious service in rescuing him, his trivial contribution was not enough to make up for Gu Ce's crime of surrendering the enemy.

The current Gu Yuan has no meritorious service, and his virtue is not worthy of his position. Even if the emperor and the eldest prince intend to give him the title, it is not justified. These censors will never sit idly by and insist on impeachment on the spot!

What they didn't expect was that the eldest prince was so clear about rewards and punishments that he didn't forcefully pass on the title of Marquis of Dingyuan to Gu Yuan just because Gu Yuan belonged to him, so as to support his connections.

He didn't take it as soon as he said it like the first emperor did. Instead, he cared about the affection of the Gu family's ancestors and left the Gu family with a sigh of relief.

The First Prince really has the demeanor of a Mingjun!

The censors sang praises to the emperor and the great prince and his son, and even Mu Sheng echoed it jokingly.

Xiao Shoufu, Feng She and others all had gloomy faces, while Mrs. Gu, Gu Jian's mother and son seemed to have lost half of their three souls and seven souls.

Especially Mrs. Gu, the continuous blows seemed to make her worse, and her spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Her heart continued to throb, her limbs were cold, she couldn't catch her breath, her whole body was shaking violently, and there were only two thoughts left in her mind: she became the second wife, and the title of the Marquis was gone.

What she had pursued for most of her life was gone at once, all gone!

So what is her life for? !

The elder sister is dead, Gu Xuan is dead, she is the only one who is still alive, isn't she the winner? But why did she end up with nothing after planning for half a lifetime? !

God is not fair!

God is not fair!

Mrs. Gu's face suddenly turned pale, she raised her hand to caress her painful left chest and bent down, her eyes were dark.
