Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

The next morning, Lord Gu went to court. Xie Zhaozhao wrote a letter at home and asked Mo Yan and Guan Yan to deliver it to various mansions.

The content is: There are small-core lychees in the south, with thick flesh and sweet taste. The elder has asked someone to bring some back, and they will be delivered to your house around noon today.

Part of the post was addressed to a few of her close friends, and the other part was addressed to the families of ministers from various palaces who came to visit her when she was ill some time ago.

You will always have to pay for what you have done. This is the truth. Human relationships are all about relationships.

Yunyang came back by boat these few days. Xu Li drove the carriage to the farm and asked Yunyang to arrange the carriage.

At present, lychees are a rare commodity. It is rare to see them brought up on the boat, covered with ice, sweet and fresh.

Manman blinked and immediately understood that the young lady did not want to use the carriage in the mansion because she did not want a bunch of ungrateful people in the mansion to steal all the lychees.

Gu Shaoyu ran to find Qin Lang, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple early in the morning.

"Master Qin, please send me a few carriages."

"How many do you want, sir?"

"About ten dan of goods, packed in baskets, how many carriages would it take to load them?"

Qin Lang said that the baskets could not be stacked to carry the goods, so at least three carriages were needed.

He ran very fast and immediately went to mobilize the carriage.

As luck would have it, he happened to meet the crown prince, and heard Qin Lang instructing the people of the Imperial Household Department: "Lord Gu needs four carriages to carry goods, you must fully cooperate and not make any mistakes..."

The prince listened for a while, said nothing, and left.

Just as I walked to the steps outside the Golden Palace, I saw Gu Shaoyu and Hua Zisheng whispering, but I didn't know what they were talking about.

In a secluded place, he said to the Minister of Finance Pei Kunfu: "Go and tell the censor that Grandma Gu no longer considers herself an outsider. The royal carriage can be used at will, and the court officials can be dispatched at will."

He pointed at Hanako Katsu and asked, "What do you want to do by getting so close to the people around our father?"

My father has indulged Gu Shaoyu too much over the years, so much so that he has forgotten that he is just a servant!

Pei Kunfu cupped his hands, whispered "yes", and then quietly contacted other people to prepare to impeach Gu Shaoyu for overstepping his authority.

Yunyang worked efficiently and sent 10 large horse-drawn carriages to the dock to bring the lychees. Xu Li followed Xie Zhaozhao's request and transported all the lychees to the ice house on the island in the middle of Yuehu Lake.

When the four royal carriages sent by Qin Lang arrived at the Moon Lake, they filled them up.

According to Xie Zhaozhao's request, the royal carriage was loaded with at least fifteen stones, which was more than what Lord Gu said.

The court meeting was over, and all the political affairs were finished. Hanako Katsu shouted, "Retreat~"

The Imperial Censor stepped forward and said, "I have something to report."

Emperor Hui: "Speak."

"I would like to consult with the elder."

Emperor Hui and Gu Shaoyu both glanced at him.

"Oh, what's the matter with him?"

"Lord Gu relied on the emperor's favor and ignored the emperor's grace. Instead, he was arrogant and overstepped his bounds."

"So serious? What did he do?"

"He sent orders to the imperial court officials at will. Before the morning court today, he ordered Qin Lang, the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household Department, to use the royal carriage to transport something for him."

After that, he asked Qin Lang, the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household Department: "Sir Qin, is this true?"

Qin Lang answered seriously: "Yes."

The Censor was very satisfied.

He looked at Hua Zisheng again, and Hua Zisheng's heart jumped. Damn it, you won't bite me, will you? I am a great and honest official, and I never collude with anyone.

"I also discovered that Lord Gu had private dealings with Chief Eunuch Hua. I think that whether he wanted to steal your majesty's secrets or corrupt the people around your majesty, his motives are suspicious and he deserves death."

At this time, four or five people from Cheng En Gong's faction stood up on both sides and "seconded the motion", saying that they had seen Lord Gu and Hua Zisheng "conspiring" several times.

Gu Shaoyu looked calm and composed, as if no one was talking about him.

Hua Zisheng knelt down and protested: "Your Majesty, I have been with you for decades. You know me best. Lord Qi said that I betrayed you and was ungrateful. I dare not admit it."

Emperor Hui looked at the Censor and said, "Master Qi, besides what you saw today, when else did you see Lord Gu forming a clique with other court officials for personal gain?"

As soon as the words "forming a clique for personal gain" came out, everyone's face changed color with fear.

It’s over. Are you here for Lord Gu today?

Lord Qi is from the Censorate, and their job is to bite people. No matter whether the cat is black or white, they will bite like a mad dog and fulfill their duty of "not arguing about the truth or making it clear."

He really couldn't find any other faults with Gu Shaoyu, but he did have some contempt for the royal family.

Emperor Hui looked at Gu Shaoyu who remained silent and said, "Lord Gu, do you have any rebuttal?"

Gu Shaoyu said: "I have nothing to refute, he is telling the truth."

The whole palace was in an uproar. "Master Gu, are you admitting your guilt just like that? Aren't you going to struggle a bit?"

At this moment, someone from the Imperial Household Department reported at the palace gate that they were looking for Hua Zisheng.

Emperor Hui said, "Hua Zisheng, go and see what's going on?"

Hua Zisheng went out and came back in a few moments later, reporting: "Your Majesty, the people from the Imperial Household Department came to report that the carriage arranged by Lord Qin has entered the palace."

Qin Lang asked His Majesty to let him leave for a while and he would be back soon.

Not long after, Qin Lang ordered his men to pull the four carriages of lychees to the outside of the Golden Palace as Hua Zisheng requested.

Hua Zisheng and Qin Lang knelt together and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Gu sent someone to bring special lychees from the south for Your Majesty to try."

"The carriages of the Marquis' Mansion are not allowed to enter the palace, so Lord Gu asked me to use the royal carriage to bring the lychees to the palace."

Hua Zisheng also reported back: "When the Lord heard that Your Majesty was going to hold a tea party for thousands of old men on the Double Ninth Festival, he specially selected small-core lychees from the South China Sea and sent them to the palace with ice all the way so that we can enjoy them fresh."

The Imperial Censor was dumbfounded.

The "seconders" were also dumbfounded.

Prime Minister Liu stood up and said, "Lord Gu has been an official for many years, and he has always been concerned about the interests of the court. He has never done anything wrong. I hope that all the ministers will take this as a warning and not speak without thinking."

Emperor Hui nodded and said, "Lord Gu has devoted himself to the country and the people. I don't want to wrong him. At the Banquet for Thousand Old Men, all officials and the people will enjoy themselves together. The censor and the few people who spoke nonsense today should not attend. Just stay in the palace and reflect on your mistakes!"

The Crown Prince gestured to Lord Qi, and the Imperial Censor spoke again: "Lychees are tribute and are very valuable. Where did Lord Gu get so much money?"

Gu Shaoyu looked at His Majesty and replied, "I have been an official for more than ten years. I have not married or taken concubines, and I have not flattered anyone. I should be able to save enough money to buy lychees, right?"

Qin Lang couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency, in the capital, anyone with a little money can afford to eat lychees. Don't do such a thing as overshadowing the other. Marry fewer concubines, and you can afford to buy lychees every day."

When Emperor Hui heard this, he said, "Let's stop here. If you keep arguing, the elder will ask me for money!"

Sure enough, Gu Shaoyu widened his eyes and asked Emperor Hui: "Your Majesty, don't you want to pay for these lychees?"

Emperor Hui nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for your gift. I like it very much."
