Come on, Your Highness

Mobilization law...

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's face changed suddenly.

"Master..." Mrs. Guo called out in panic.

The second madam couldn't care less about her complacency, and immediately knelt down: "Master Guo, please be merciful, this is all my concubine's idea, Mingrui didn't do anything!"

When Wei Guogong saw He Mingrui pursing his lips tightly and staring at him firmly, the dissatisfaction and hostility on his face made him feel a pang in his heart.

He Xichao's words echoed in his ears: "My mind is vicious, but when things happen, I will only hide behind women..."

He took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled: "The old man is not blind, what happened in this Duke's mansion, you can't be blinded, Mingrui, I'm really disappointed in you!"

He Mingrui clenched his fists tightly and made no sound.

Wei Guogong looked at him and asked, "Do you recognize him?"

He Mingrui's nostrils moved slightly, and his breathing became obviously rough.

The second lady kowtowed: "My lord, it was really arranged by my concubine. Ming Rui has been in Prince Li's mansion, working on behalf of Prince Li. He doesn't even know what He Xichao is doing!"

Mrs. Guo also came back to her senses immediately, and knelt down: "Master Guo, He Xi Chaoming has grown stiff wings and wants to leave the He family. How can others control this? You can't blame Ming Rui for his disobedience! !"

He Xiang had brought people over with sticks and benches, and waited aside.

Wei Guogong ignored the pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but just stared at He Mingrui and asked word by word: "I will ask you again, do you recognize me?"

He Mingrui's eyes turned red immediately, he knelt down, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word: "Yes."

After Wei Guogong heard this, Fang nodded slowly: "Okay, it's good if you dare to admit it, otherwise, I don't mind if there are no successors."

As soon as this remark came out, not only the Duke's wife and the second wife, but also the eldest lady looked over in surprise.

He Mingrui looked even more in disbelief.

Wei Guogong said expressionlessly: "Do you think that if Xichao is gone, the old man's title will definitely fall on your head? No, you can also ask the emperor to take it back. Mingrui, the old man once said that if you don't ask, you will be the same as Xichao." You are smart and sharp, but you must take the overall situation into consideration, otherwise the Duke's Mansion can only be destroyed in your hands..."

"I won't!" He Mingrui didn't care about anything anymore, he retorted loudly, looking at Wei Guogong firmly, "I won't! Grandpa, you taught me to grow up, and you gave me everything. It's a bastard who came back halfway, how could he do better than me? I'm not as selfish as him, I only look at myself! I swear, I'm wholehearted in the He family, I can take on the burden, as long as you believe in me, believe in me The grandson you raised with your own hands is now just setting things right, there shouldn't be He Xichao in the first place!"

These words had been held in his heart for a long time, and he was about to get sick from boredom. If He Xichao didn't leave and won the title of Wei Guogong, he didn't know what else he would do.

"Grandfather, you clearly said that I am more important than him, you love me more, and I am your favorite heir! But when did you forget what you said, put him first in everything, and suppress me everywhere! I envy him , I hate him, I'm going crazy! I grew up next to you, how could you treat me like this?" He Mingrui's face suddenly twisted, and he sneered, "If he wants to kill me, he will Do it, don't pretend to be generous and say kind words, it's just hypocritical!"

"Mingrui!" The second lady was stunned.

Mrs. Guo immediately raised her head to look at Wei Guogong. The expression on Wei Guogong's face was uncertain, as if a storm was about to come.

"My lord..." She wanted to plead.

But Wei Guogong was angry and heartbroken, and blurted out three good words: "Okay, okay, you should remember what is good for you, but the old man said not to conflict with Xi Chao, you can't fight him, did you listen? Be consistent with the outside world, keep your dignity, have you listened? How many times have you secretly targeted those childish and ridiculous things, and if the old man doesn't say anything, you really don't know, you really don't know? Every time you act self-righteously, the old man will follow with a dull face , I lost a bit of confidence in facing him, and I was even more disappointed! Yes, you were taught by the old man, but this just let me know how failed I am!"

He Mingrui's eyes widened suddenly, he didn't expect Wei Guogong to deny him and also deny himself at the same time, this was more unbearable for him than direct scolding.

"grandfather……"

Wei Guogong waved his hand: "The old man has never taught Xi Chao, and he still knows how to be grateful. Mingrui, apart from blaming me for being biased, do you have any gratitude?"

He Mingrui moved his lips but did not answer.

Seeing this, Wei Guogong shook his head with a broken smile: "People have self-knowledge, you don't, and neither does this old man. Not much to say, it's best if you can think clearly, it doesn't matter if you can't think clearly. Come here, do it."

He Xiang sighed in a low voice, then led someone to hold He Mingrui, and pressed him on the bench.

He Mingrui raised his head, stiffened his neck and shouted: "Grandfather, you want to hit me, I admit it! But I don't regret what I did! Please believe me, I will definitely do better than He Xichao! As long as you give me once Chance!"

Under the heavy blow of the stick, He Mingrui insisted on not yelling for mercy, and his unwilling eyes were firmly locked on Wei Guogong's face.

After a while, the second lady almost fainted from crying, but she was immediately held up by the servants as soon as she rushed forward, and she could only keep begging Wei Guogong.

Mrs. Guogong was so distressed that she couldn't hold herself back. The knuckles of the hand holding Nanny Sun turned white, and she frequently looked at Wei Guogong with pleading eyes.

Finally, when blood was bleeding from the corner of He Mingrui's lips, and his eyes gradually became dizzy, Wei Guogong said: "Okay, I will give you a chance."

He raised his hand and stopped the family law.

Hearing this, He Mingrui closed his eyes and passed out.

The second wife cried until her heart broke, but before she felt sorry for her son, Wei Guogong's eyes were fixed on her.

"The second one, clean up and go to the family temple."

The second lady's crying stopped abruptly, and she looked at Wei Guogong in disbelief.

"For the sake of your raising children for the He family, and for the sake of the in-laws of the He family and the Li family, the old man will not let the second child send you down, and you go to the family temple to repent."

"No!" The second lady yelled, "Grandpa, this concubine is wrong, and I will never dare again! Don't let me go to the family temple, Mingrui's wedding will be next month, and the eldest princess will be married soon , I can't leave, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Wei Guogong was in a trance, and suddenly remembered: "I almost forgot, the princess is really a good relative, the old man dare not touch you. Anyway, it is really wrong that you are not here on the wedding day..."

The second wife kowtowed excitedly: "Thank you, Duke..."

"Then come back the day before the big wedding day."

The second wife almost passed out with her son, but looking at the resolute Duke Wei, she finally had no choice.

It's just that Mrs. Guo, before Wei Guogong looked over, knelt down on her knees: "Master Guo..."

"You can go back wherever you came from."

After Wei Guogong finished speaking, he left without even looking at her.

Royal Palace

Xiao Hong sat in the main hall of the Qing Dynasty and gnawed on a pear head. When Emperor Tiangan finished reading the Jizuo in his hand, when he looked up, there were only a few cores left on the plate of pears, and this man held the last one in his hand.

Seeing the emperor looking over, Xiao Hong hurriedly handed it over and asked, "Father, do you want to eat?"

Emperor Tiangan twitched the corners of his mouth: "Aren't you afraid of spleen deficiency after eating so much?"

"Just a few of them, and they will disappear on the way back to the residence." Xiao Hong said indifferently.

Eunuch Huang covered his mouth and snickered, Emperor Tiangan shook his head and sighed: "Eat it."

Xiao Hong clicked, clicked, and after two breaths, he dropped a fruit core, took the handkerchief that Eunuch Huang handed over, and wiped his mouth and hands.

Emperor Tiangan stood up, stretched his arms and asked: "Aren't you recuperating in the mansion, why did you come into the palace today?"

"I miss you." Xiao Hong squeezed his eyes.

"Speak seriously."

"My son is unhappy."

Emperor Tiangan picked up the tea and listened quietly.

"I know the internal affairs of the clan. I, a foreigner, can't take care of it, but I feel aggrieved by the court. He hasn't done anything bad. Can't he uphold justice?" Xiao Hongniu drank a cup of tea, and said a little depressed, "Dad , Do you think this counts as dissatisfaction with your decision? You are too courageous!"

Seeing his angry appearance, Emperor Tiangan couldn't help laughing: "The interests of the in-laws of the family are complicated. The first one here is arrested, and there are three others outside. There are too many like the He family. It's just that you don't get in. He also looked at He Xichao differently. People of the wise know that he is the breakthrough. But he also really defends you, and he doesn't lie to his clan members. Hong'er, it's a good thing for you. He has nothing to worry about behind him, he can only rely on you, and will do his best to plan for you. However, such a pure minister is hard to find in the world. If you want to go far, don't let him down. he."

Hearing this, Xiao Hong looked at Emperor Tiangan, and then laughed strangely.

Emperor Tiangan frowned: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Hong shook his head vigorously: "No, no, you are so right, Father, you are so wise and powerful, and my son will absolutely follow Father's teachings!"

Looking weird, Emperor Tiangan recalled what he said, and didn't think there was a problem.

Then there is only one explanation, Xiao Hong really has to let the imperial doctor take a look at Xiao Hong's brain sometimes.

Xiao Hong laughed secretly for a while, then turned serious, and said seriously: "Although Xi Chao did the right thing, he was expelled from his family after all. Those who were expelled generally made serious and unforgivable mistakes. Letting the family really be unable to protect them is a last resort! The He family will definitely not tell the truth if they are wronged. People in the world don't know the reason. His own grandfather expelled him! His virtue is bad, and I am afraid that someone will take this opportunity to impeach him for his unfilial piety, Father, I cannot let him be wronged like this."

Come on, I'm here to speak up for He Xi.

Emperor Tiangan then said: "I will make a decree to Wei Guogong. I have the final say on merits and demerits."

Although the emperor also knew that there would be many ministers trying to excuse the criminals on this list, he was quite annoyed that he dared to make a big expulsion!

Just like what Xiao Hong said, it was a clear expression of dissatisfaction with him.

However, there are few officials in the court of the He family, most of them are low-ranking and idle positions. Only Wei Guogong occupies the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is the only one who can make orders.Since he can't manage his tribe well, he must be punished, otherwise how can he maintain the majesty of the emperor?

Duke Wei was reprimanded, so naturally He Xichao was right.

However, Xiao Hong shook his head: "I really want to, but forget it."

"Why?"

Xiao Hong was not very happy but said helplessly: "Xi Chao respected and loved Wei Guogong very much. When he left, he did not forget to thank his grandfather for protecting him for nine years, and begged me not to blame my grandfather."

Emperor Tiangan was quite surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but nodded and said: "He is a good boy who is benevolent, righteous, filial and filial... Then how do you treat him?"

Having said that, Xiao Hong helped Emperor Tiangan to sit back in the imperial case, picked the largest brush on the pen stand, dipped it in ink and gave it to his father, begging: "Father, Xichao's new house door plaque I haven't done it yet, can I ask you to inscribe it with the imperial pen?"

Emperor Tiangan swiped a large brush, and two imposing characters "He Fu" fell on the rice paper.

"It's really worthy of the words of the most wise Holy Lord in Daqi. Just looking at it, I feel like a dragon is steaming, mighty, really mighty!" Xiao Hong said flatteringly.

Emperor Tiangan snorted lightly: "With your vision... Hong'er, if you ascend the throne in the future, no one will dare to hang up the plaque you wrote."

"What?"

"The door plaque is the face of a house, and it would be too embarrassing for a dog to squat on it."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Tiangan stood far away to look at his own words, seemed quite satisfied, nodded, took out the imperial seal, and stamped it.

Xiao Hong's nose was crooked angrily, and he snorted twice: "They want it, but I don't want to write it yet!"

He took the Royal Calligraphy that Eunuch Huang had sorted out, saluted and ran away.
