Gu Youzhen sat on the side, and when the two of them went out, she couldn't help but ask, "Royal father, what kind of kitten? The concubine mother doesn't allow sons and ministers to keep cats."

Gu Li patted his head: "Youzhen, my father found a little brother to play with you, okay?"

Gu Youzhen nodded ignorantly, and happily announced: "Zhen'er likes kittens!"

Gu Li took him to the Wenhua Hall, and listened to the lecture on the Sutras edited by the Imperial Academy as usual. Halfway through the lecture, Prime Minister Mu and Yang Shangshu arrived first. Gu Li invited them to sit down and listen to the lecture together.

Today's lecturer is Xu Qifen, editor of the Hanlin Academy. When he was young, he was quite famous in the south of the Yangtze River. He was good at calligraphy, painting and engraving. The more Gu Li looked at him, the more he looked familiar. He was almost finished listening to the daily lecture, and finally remembered that he was still in Xuancheng yesterday. I have seen this old man from a distance in the uncle's house.

Under the gaze of the emperor, Prime Minister Mu, and Yang Shangshu, Xu Qifen finally finished speaking and was about to leave.Gu Li called him to stop and asked, "I heard that Xuancheng Bo's mansion was flooded last night?"

Xu Qifen replied: "That's right. The patrolmen from Shuntian Mansion went to Xuancheng Mansion to make a fuss yesterday during the concert at the Xuancheng Manor's Mansion. A man died. I don't know his identity. He was brought back by Shuntian Mansion for an autopsy. .”

Gu Li asked Mu Chengxiang and Yang Shangshu: "Have you heard about this?"

Prime Minister Mu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have heard about it. It is said that Xiao Dan, who was disguised as Du Liniang, was trapped in the fire, and it was a romantic young man who stepped forward to rescue him. It is a good story."

But Yang Shangshu looked blank and said: "I went to bed early last night, so I didn't hear about these things."

Unexpectedly, Yang Shangshu loves health preservation so much.

Xu Qifen said: "That's right, it's just that the young man covered his face with a kerchief, and I don't know which talented person it is. It is said that there are booksellers in the market who have hired someone to write a ghostwriter to write "The Peony Pavilion Resurrection: The Hero Saves the Beauty"."

Gu Li laughed dryly, thinking that these people are idle?What kind of broken script is this, will anyone really read it? !

At this time, Yu Guangle finally came back, and the child in his arms was indeed a kitten.Jiang Xiasheng is a bachelor and doesn't know how to take care of children. Although he changed the kitten into clean clothes, the clothes were tied wrongly.

Gu Li was about to speak when he heard Yang Hongjian excitedly say: "Er Mao!"

Yu Guangle put Zhou Ermao down. When he arrived at this magnificent place, he was a little timid for a while, and called out to Gu Li: "Brother Milk Cake!"

Prime Minister Mu and Yang Shangshu looked suspiciously at him.

Gu Li laughed dryly, and waved at the kitten: "Cat come here!"

Zhou Ermao stepped forward, Gu Li touched his head, picked him up and faced Yang Hongjian, and asked, "Do you remember this uncle?"

Zhou Ermao finally remembered, and shouted: "Uncle Yang!"

Yang Shangshu was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He hugged the kitten into his arms and asked, "Why is this kid in the capital? How did His Majesty find him?"

Just as Gu Li was about to speak, he felt a tightness in his leg. It turned out that Gu Youzhen had been neglected for a long time, so he couldn't help but hug his leg.

Gu Li asked Gu Youzhen to take Zhou Ermao out to play, and ordered Li Tang to watch carefully.

The three of them left the Wenhua Palace and stood in the corridor outside.When Gu Youzhen saw the strange little brother, she shyly and tentatively stretched out her hand to hold the kitten's hand.

The kitten hugged him back.Holding the children's hands together is an innocent and soft touch.

Gu Youzhen became more courageous, leaned closer and whispered, "Father said you can turn into a kitten! Really? Can you show Zhener one?"

I don't know how he understood Gu Li's words, but he actually felt that Zhou Ermao could really turn into a kitten.

Zhou Ermao thought for a while, landed on all fours, and meowed twice, washing his face and licking his paws like a kitten, which made Gu Youzhen clap his hands again and again, meowing along with him.

In the hall, seeing Yang Hongjian questioning, Gu Li said to Yu Guangle with a smile: "You make another trip and bring the policeman Jiang from Shuntian Mansion."

Yu Guangle said: "Returning to Your Majesty, Jiang Xunzheng is waiting outside the Meridian Gate."

Yu Guangle is a clever person, not only brought the kitten, but also brought Jiang Xiasheng along the way.Gu Li asked him to bring people into the palace. Jiang Xiasheng was unavoidably apprehensive when he entered the palace for the first time, so he bowed to Gu Li and obediently stood under His Royal Highness.

Gu Li said: "Jiang Patrolman, I heard that you went to Xuancheng Bo's Mansion to make a scene last night? Is there such a thing?"

Jiang Xiasheng didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Gu Li's gourd, so he reported truthfully: "I went to Xuancheng Bo's Mansion last night, not to pick quarrels, but to capture the traitor Chen Feng."

Gu Li said: "It turns out that's the case, you tell the whole story in detail."

Jiang Xiasheng had no choice but to tell the story of last night from beginning to end, omitting Gu Li.

After he finished speaking, Gu Li asked: "So you messed up a lot last night, but you still didn't catch Chen Feng?"

Jiang Xiasheng was bitter in his heart, thinking that Chen Feng was rescued by you, wasn't he?When Gu Li stepped forward to save people last night, he didn't guess that Du Liniang was Chen Feng, and he thought it was His Majesty the Emperor who fell in love with Xiao Dan.It wasn't until I went back last night and thought about it myself that I finally sorted out my thoughts.

And Chen Feng actually slipped under his nose, he regretted it when he thought about it.

Prime Minister Mu said: "Although Chen Feng, the traitor, was not caught, according to the old minister, Jiang Xunzhu is thoughtful and decisive, and he is a man who can be made. Give Jiang Xunyu some more time, and Chen Feng will definitely be captured and brought to justice. "

Gu Li sighed: "Prime Minister Mu, I understand how much you cherish talents, but if you really go around Jiang Xiasheng lightly, it's hard for me to explain to Uncle Xuancheng."

Xu Qifen, editor-in-chief of the Imperial Academy, nodded and agreed, "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true."

Jiang Xiasheng lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.He offended Uncle Xuancheng last night, but failed to catch Chen Feng. Kang Qizong looked for him early this morning, and then heard that Uncle Xuancheng came to the palace to file a complaint.Jiang Xiasheng knew that although His Majesty was tolerant, he had offended the royal family and relatives. If His Majesty did not give an explanation, he would not be able to convince the public.

So Jiang Xiasheng couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and didn't dare to look up at the crowd.

At this moment, the servant hurried in and reported back to Gu Li: "Your Majesty, the Governor of the Kang family is begging to see you."

As soon as Yu Guangle brought Jiang Xiasheng in, Kang Qizong came to see him, probably to save someone.Does this old boy really cherish his subordinates?Gu Li said to the servant: "Didn't you see that I have something important to discuss here? For the time being, let Kangfu Yin wait outside the hall."

Gu Li added: "However, it is a meritorious deed that Jiang Xunju found Zhou Zongbing's orphan. I will reward and punish him clearly. Jiang Xunzu made a contribution, and I have to reward him."

Mu Cheng hurriedly said: "Exactly! In the opinion of the veteran, it is better to offset the merits and demerits."

Gu Li asked Yang Hongjian, "What does Yang Shangshu think?"

Yang Hongjian followed suit and nodded: "I think what Prime Minister Mu said is very true. Zongbing Zhou sacrificed his life for the country, and being able to find his orphan can be regarded as living up to Zongbing Zhou's heart to serve the country with all his might!"

Gu Li looked at Xu Qifen and asked, "What does Xu Hanlin think?"

Xu Qifen wiped the sweat from his brow, and said with a dry smile, "What Prime Minister Mu and Yang Shangshu said is true!"

Gu Li then said: "Okay, Jiang Xiasheng, since Prime Minister Mu, Yang Shangshu, and Xu Hanlin all pleaded for you, then I will spare you this time."

Jiang Xiasheng escaped unharmed, the child was obviously given to him by Gu Li last night, how could he not see that it was Gu Li who let him go on purpose, and quickly kowtowed to thank him.After leaving the Wenhua Palace, seeing Kang Qizong walking around in a hurry, he couldn't help feeling warm, and said with a smile: "Master Kang, the lowly position is fine."

Kang Qizong heaved a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "I said, His Majesty is generous and will definitely not embarrass you."

The two left the palace one after the other.

Yu Guangle asked someone to bring Gu Youzhen and Zhou Ermao in at the right time.Gu Li looked at Zhou Ermao, and said: "Zhou Wenshen sacrificed his life for the country, Zhou Ermao was granted the title of Zhending Bo, and his annual salary was four hundred stones, which was hereditary."

Yang Hong heard the words and wanted to fight for Zhou Ermao: "Your Majesty, since the founding of our Great Chu, there has never been a rule of hereditary surrender."

Great Chu is the same as the Ming Dynasty, the titles are all hereditary, so that after hundreds of years, there are as many as [-] relatives who are supported by the state. People from this socialist country expressed dissatisfaction with this.

However, it is unrealistic to arbitrarily abolish the prince from then on in this feudal era. He wanted to imitate the Han Dynasty's Tweeting Order, starting from Zhou Ermao who was still ignorant, and changing the hereditary indifference to hereditary surrender. Get rid of this financial baggage.

Gu Li said with a smile to Yang Hong: "Rules are made by people, Yang Shangshu doesn't need to be so rigid."

The servant guided Zhou Ermao to kneel down and thank him.

Gu Li asked Zhou Ermao again: "Little cat, are you willing to stay in the palace?"

Zhou Ermao thought for a while and said, "I want Brother Fang."

Before Gu Li could speak, Gu Youzhen took Zhou Ermao's hand first: "Little cat! Can you stay in the palace with Zhen'er?"

Gu Lichong waved to Gu Youzhen, hugged him into his arms, and comforted him: "Brother Kitty lives outside the palace, so he can come in to see you and play with you from time to time."

Gu Youzhen was a little sullen.

Gu Li said to Yu Guangle: "You send Xiaomao to Fu Sicheng's house, the brother Fang that Xiaomao wants to see lives there."

Yang Hongjian hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, who is Fang Congjian? Can he properly raise Zongbing Zhou's orphan? Why don't you let the old minister come..."

Gu Li said: "Mr. Yang, don't worry. Fang Congjian is a good character. He and Zhou Ermao are as close as brothers. Zhou Ermao just lost his relatives. Let Fang Congjian accompany him."

Yang Hongjian had no choice but to agree.

Yu Guangle sent Zhou Ermao out, and Prime Minister Mu, Yang Shangshu and Xu Hanlin also resigned.Gu Li didn't rest, and said to the servant beside him, "Go to the barracks outside the capital and bring me a young man named Tan Jilun."

He wants to thoroughly investigate the pension bank!

Xiao Tan didn't rush over so quickly, so Gu Li dealt with official business first, and Yu Guangle reported to him that the sales volume of "Da Chu Morning Post" has increased today, and it can sell about 80 copies a day.Seeing Yu Guangle's optimistic and contented appearance, Gu Li had a headache. There are at least [-] people in this capital city, and he is satisfied with only selling [-] copies. Such a good young man, why don't he know how to make progress? !
