The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

The next day.

Zhang and Chen witnessed the drama with their own eyes yesterday. Because they still didn't know how Gu Xiuming and Li Waner would punish them, they were so curious and scratching their hearts that they all fell into insomnia.

Early in the morning, just after breakfast, I came to Wei Ruixuan by chance, wanting to inquire about Meng Jinyao and satisfy my curiosity.

As soon as Mr. Zhang sat down, he stopped talking politely and asked straight to the point: "Third brother and sister, Xiuming and Aunt Li are still imprisoned in Qingyuxuan. What do you plan to do with them?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, to be honest with you, I actually don't know either."

Chen was surprised: "Third younger brother and sister, how could you not know?"

Meng Jinyao explained: "Yesterday, the Marquis left Qingyu Pavilion and went to my mother's house. I came back to finish dinner and take a shower. I thought I would wait for him to come back and ask questions. Unexpectedly, I accidentally fell asleep and woke up today. By then, he had already gone out."

Hearing this, Madam Zhang and Madam Chen looked at her suspiciously, their eyes seeming to say: Is it really such a coincidence?

Meng Jinyao met their eyes and nodded slightly. She really told the truth. She did fall asleep last night and did not hide anything on purpose.

Zhang said: "Previously, when Xiu Ming made mistakes, the third brother would educate him. This time, when Xiu Ming made such a big mistake, the third brother didn't even scold Xiu Ming. He was so calm that it was scary."

Meng Jinyao knew that her husband was completely disappointed with Gu Xiuming, so she didn't bother to talk nonsense to Gu Xiuming. However, the result hadn't come out yet, so she couldn't say more and changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, such a big thing happened yesterday. How do people react today?”

Zhang replied truthfully: "I ordered them not to gossip. I didn't hear anything openly, but they must have talked about it privately. I guess people outside also heard about it. I just don't know when the third brother will deal with this matter." thing."

Meng Jinyao nodded gently: "Last night, the Marquis told me that we would handle this matter today. When the Marquis comes back, we will know how to handle it."

Afterwards, the three sisters-in-law talked for a while before Meng Jinyao sent them away. Remembering that she had not taken any medicine today, she asked the maid to prepare a cup of warm water for her. She took the medicine alternately between pills and boiled medicinal soup. Yes, if you are afraid of taking medicine, take pills; if you are afraid of taking pills, drink medicinal soup.

In the afternoon, Gu Jingxi returned from work.

Meng Jinyao inadvertently raised her head, and when she saw his figure, her eyes suddenly lit up, she opened her mouth to ask something, then swallowed her words back, looking at him eagerly, her eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing this, Gu Jingxi stepped forward and touched her head: "I know what you want to ask. The result will probably be available soon. Let's wait for now."

"Wait a minute?"

Meng Jinyao looked at him in astonishment, looking at him with doubts in her eyes, and said in confusion: "Husband, aren't you the one to handle it? It was a bit late yesterday, but it's not too late today. Can't you just go to Qingyuxuan to handle the matter?"

Gu Jingxi shook his head gently and said with a smile: "Then Ayao really overestimated your husband. Your husband has no such ability."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao was stunned again, confused by his words. If a father doesn't have the ability to deal with an unfilial son, then who has the ability?

Just when she was puzzled, a maid came running in from outside and reported: "Marquis, Madam, there is an imperial edict from the palace!"

Imperial decree?

Meng Jinyao was confused. Why did he suddenly receive an imperial edict from such a good person?

Could it be...

She turned her eyes and looked at the man next to her. Seeing that the man was calm and calm, with no surprise on his face, as if he had expected it, she almost confirmed her suspicion.

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "Ayao, let's go and listen to the order."

Meng Jinyao nodded in agreement and kept up with him. There was no need to delay in welcoming the imperial edict. The couple hurried to the front yard to listen to the edict. On the way to the front yard, they also saw people from the first and second bedrooms hurriedly arriving.

When the three people in the house met, they all looked at each other.

Gu Jingsheng asked, "Third brother, why did the palace suddenly receive an imperial edict?"

Gu Jingxi replied quietly: "Brother will know later."

Seeing that he was so calm and didn't seem to be curious about the content of the imperial edict, everyone began to murmur in their hearts, feeling that he knew something.

Since he didn't say anything, everyone stopped asking so as not to waste time.

After everyone arrived in the front yard for a while, Mrs. Gu, who was elderly and slow-footed, arrived.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Gu Xiuming and Li Waner being escorted over by their servants. It was not surprising that Gu Xiuming would come to listen to the order, because he was the heir to the Hou family, but how could Aunt Li, a concubine with no reputation, Coming too?

The Gu family had arrived, and everyone knelt on the ground according to their seniority.

The father-in-law who read out the imperial edict glanced at them, then unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict, and a high-pitched voice sounded:

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict that Gu's Xiu Ming had repeatedly disrespected his elders, slandered and framed his mother. His moral conduct was bad, he was disobedient and unfilial, and it was difficult for him to be the heir of the Hou family. He was ordered to deprive him of the title of Crown Prince, deprive him of the title of scholar, deposed him as a white body, and will not be allowed to take the imperial examination for life. At the age of thirty, he was exiled to Yazhou.

The concubine, Mrs. Li, committed a crime below, framed her elders, was disrespectful and unfilial, and was punished with twenty sticks, and was exiled to Yazhou with her.

It was the fault of the son not to teach his father. Changxing Marquis Gu Jingxi was not strict in running the family and failed to teach his son well, which led to evil deeds. He was ordered to stay in seclusion for half a month and was fined for one year as punishment.

Admire this. "

Everyone was stunned by this imperial edict and couldn't react for a moment. It seemed that they didn't expect that Gu Jingxi would be so cruel to his only son and even report it to the emperor.

Our dynasty governs the world with benevolence and filial piety, and the emperor is also known as a filial son. He dislikes unfilial sons the most. Knowing that Gu Xiuming is an unfilial son and has done such a bad thing, how can he be lenient?

But I have to say that Gu Jingxi is really fair and strict, and his heart is cruel enough. While not letting others go, he doesn't even let himself go.

The petition to the emperor to depose the crown prince must inevitably state Gu Xiuming's crimes. He himself would also have to plead guilty to the emperor for not teaching his son. Not only would Gu Xiuming be severely punished, but Gu Jingxi himself would not be able to escape punishment. Because the ancients said that Yunzi did not teach his father, and the child committed the crime. It is a big mistake for the father to be guilty of lax discipline, especially if he is an official, he is not good at educating his children, he is not strict in running the family, and he will shut himself up and think about his mistakes. He will definitely be punished with a salary, and some may even be demoted or dismissed from office.

The last capital official who was punished for being incompetent in educating his son was Mr. Zhao, the former left minister of the Ministry of Rites. When it was revealed that Mr. Zhao had bullied the people, Long Yan was furious. He thought that Mr. Zhao had done meritorious service and was not dismissed from office. In the end, he had no way to teach his son. Lord Zhao of the Fang Dynasty was demoted to a barren land as an official.

Now Gu Jingxi is being punished to sit back and think about his mistakes, and is fined with a salary. However, the one-year fine has no impact on him. The Gu family is not poor either, but he was punished for being lax in running the family and teaching his children poorly. It is embarrassing to spread the news that the dignified minister of Dali Temple actually I can’t teach my son well.

Gu Xiuming was horrified and his face turned pale. He couldn't believe his ears. He was given thirty punishments and exiled to Yazhou. How about killing him? Yazhou is sparsely populated and the conditions are harsh. Even water resources are scarce. The days of exile in Yazhou are hell on earth.

Li Wan'er was so frightened that she couldn't even kneel down, and collapsed directly on the ground. She had lived a prosperous life that was envied by her neighbors. In less than a year, she would be exiled to Yazhou, and the rest of her life would be worse than hers. My grandfather suffered a thousand times more when he was dependent on each other.

At this time, Gu Jingxi kowtowed and said: "I accept the decree, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" After saying this, he stretched out his hands, palms upward, and respectfully received the imperial decree.

Everyone's thoughts were pulled back by his voice, and they kowtowed and said in unison: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

(Deposing the crown prince is not something the male protagonist can say, nor can the elders of the clan make the decision, because to establish a crown prince, one needs to report to the emperor to request the title of crown prince, and to depose a crown prince, one also needs to petition the emperor. The reasons are well-founded and well-founded, and the facts cannot be fabricated. When I wrote I have tried my best to be as logical as possible. In this review, Xiu Ming made a big mistake. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. Please forgive me for the shortcomings.

Let me explain two questions readers may ask:

Why wasn't Gu Xiuming returned to his biological parents?

Answer: Because you cannot re-incarnate a child, you don’t have to have the child if you want it. If you don’t want it, the biological parents will take it away. In ancient times, people who were disobedient and unfilial were alienated from their relatives. No one dared to have anything to do with him, otherwise he would be punished. People ridiculed that his biological parents would definitely wish to stay away from him at this time. Moreover, Gu Xiuming also made a big mistake. He told the emperor to depose the crown prince. Now that the emperor knew it, he would definitely punish Gu Xiuming severely. It would be difficult for him to go back unharmed.

Is being sentenced to exile too harsh a punishment?

Answer: I don’t think it’s serious, because unfilial piety was a heinous crime in ancient times. It would lead to death or injury, and there would be no good end. Therefore, most of the children of the ancients who were unfilial were reluctant to report to the government, and would give the children a chance to change their ways. If they refused to change despite repeated admonitions, they would report to the government as a last resort and ask the government for justice.

As for Li Waner, the author specifically asked her to accompany Gu Xiuming. True love must be locked together, right? For what she did, she could be sentenced to exile. )
