His Majesty And Ministers

Autumn Hunting finally ended in arrest, imprisonment, and conviction.On the second day, the emperor led his ministers back to court, although many of them had been arrested the previous night.

In the prison of Dali Temple, the scholar carried a medicine box and walked into a separate cell under the guidance of the guards.

Compared with the gloomy and dirty of other prisons, this place is obviously much neater and cleaner, just like an ordinary room.

The door lock was unlocked, and the middle-aged man lying on the wooden bed moved and groaned.

"Master Zhao." The scholar put the medicine box on the wooden table and stood by the table, "Is this prison disaster as painful as you imagined?"

The middle-aged man turned over, sat up slowly, and said in a hoarse voice, "It never happened."

"I think so." The scholar said with a smile, "Your Majesty is merciful. Even if your lord commits a serious crime, you will not forget your assistance over the years."

Zhao Mingde aged almost overnight. Looking at the peaceful scholar in front of him, he smiled miserably: "But I still want to die."

The scholar's finger pointed at the cover of the medicine box: "That's right, but it's different when it comes to dying from a human being."

Zhao Mingde sneered, "What do you want?"

The scholar said with a smile: "As long as your lord is clear, your majesty will let you go on your way calmly."

"Clean?" Zhao Mingde raised his head and let out a stern smile, "I understand!...Why did he only put anesthetic on the knife? Is he kind? Hahahaha..."

Zhao Mingde stood up and looked at the scholar, "He wants my money. My Zhao family has been here for several years, and it is considered a rich country. There are Xirong in the west and barbarians in the north. How can he fight without my money? Hahaha Haha...Little emperor, so what if I, Zhao Mingde, is a prisoner, he still has to beg me..."

"So you only need to explain clearly, my lord." The scholar held up a small medicine bottle, "Your Majesty will let you go on the road safely."

Zhao Mingde didn't listen, and still laughed loudly: "What is the little emperor! If it wasn't for the help of the Gu family, the Gu family!" He showed resentment on his face, "How can you be a foolish king! Let the Gu family hollow out the whole thing!" Thoughts to help..."

The scholar said: "Do you think you can? In order to make the emperor lose popular support due to the severe drought in the southwest, you cut off more than 20 silver grains sent from the capital, and how many lives were wasted?"

Zhao Mingde murmured: "Only by him? Just by him..."

"It's just because he is willing to open the bank in the Southwest, and take out royal things to help the victims, and it's just because he has been dealing with documents from all over the world day and night in the past few months." The scholar Shi Shiran sat down at the table, "Just because of what he said last night The Forbidden Army has strict orders, not to harass the people, not to kill a single person, not to bully women, children and the elderly, and those who disobey the order beheaded."

Zhao Mingde seemed to have exhausted all his strength and collapsed on the ground.

The scholar smiled: "Even if such an emperor is clumsy and has done evil in the past, he is barely qualified."

This rehabilitation brought about a big shake-up for the imperial court. More than half of the officials were arrested.Whoever did the evil, which one should be killed, which one should be ransacked, exiled, which one should be imprisoned for a few years, because there are too many special circumstances, Dali Temple can't make a decision, so it can only be handed over to Jing Ye and a few trusted people. Veterans discussed and resolved.

There are also Zhao Mingde's accomplices and influencers in various places, which also need to be dug out one by one.

Gu Hong is in charge of Qingyu Pavilion in the palace. Although he can help, Jing Ye can't push all the responsibility to him.

The money stolen from the corrupt official's house was cleaned up by the household department (in fact, there were not many people left in it), and transferred to Lin Xiaosheng for judgment, because most of the people who could be used were transferred in by him.

Jing Ye lost weight rapidly.

Originally, he was not considered a lucky face, usually wearing thick autumn clothes and not showing off, but when Gu Hong hugged him to sleep at night, his touch was full of bones.

In the evening, Jing Ye changed his clothes and went to bed. Gu Hong hugged him and whispered in his ear: "There should be more people in the imperial dining room in the prison. They will bring you meals all day long, and none of them can be turned into meat."

Jing Ye laughed and said, "That depends on how the cook looks. If he is also thin, he must have done his duty."

Although he smiled, there was weariness in his voice.

Gu Hong looked at him, went over, and the two embraced each other, Jing Ye said: "Go to sleep."

"Ah."

In this incident, the Xu family, which was married to the Zhao family, did not suffer much. Xu Ming suppressed the rebel party in the northwest.

On the second day Xu was thrown into the cell, Meng Qiucui went to see her in the cell.

Mrs. Xu rushed up and climbed the iron railing: "Poisonous woman, poisonous woman!"

Meng Qiucui took a step back, put her hand on the maidservant's hand and said with a sneer, "Such strength, it seems that my sister is doing well here."

Mrs. Xu glared at her angrily, and shouted hoarsely: "Eat the things that are inside and outside..."

"I really should give you a mirror so that you can see what you look like now." Meng Qiucui looked at her and smiled, her eyebrows were delicately made up, "It's much uglier than I was back then."

"Whore!" Gasped Xu, "I already knew you had a premeditated plan, you, you entered the mansion... just for..."

"I was sold to Zhao Mingde by my inhuman father." Meng Qiucui smiled, her expression was cold and arrogant, her voice trembling, "I can bear it. But since you poisoned my ten-month-old baby, I have been Waiting for this day."

As if remembering something, Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand more and more violently: "What are you going to do! You want to deal with Miao Ling, Yueer..." Zhao Yue is the youngest son of Zhao Mingde and Mrs. Xu.

"You die, sister." Meng Qiucui raised her head and stared at her, "You are dead, I am alive, my daughter is also alive, and her life is ten thousand times better than yours."

Jing Ye was sitting on the couch, with one hand on the couch table and the other holding Jing Xiaoyun.

Jing Ye said: "The clouds make the rain."

Jing Xiaoyun read: "Cloudy fields come from rain." Holding a cloth tiger in his hand.

Jing Ye suppressed a smile and said, "The dew turns into frost."

Jing Xiaoyun said: "Lu Jie is Su Ang."

Jing Ye rubbed his tender face and said, "Father Su knows how to recite it, will you know how to recite it?"

Jing Xiaoyun's innocent eyes widened: "No fee."

The maid in charge came in and said, "Your Majesty, the young master is already asleep."

"Okay." Jing Ye rubbed Jing Xiaoyun's head, "Go, join your new brother."

Jing Xiaoyun opened her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "He is stupid."

This sentence is easy to learn.Jing Ye couldn't laugh or cry, picked him up and went to the side hall.

The toddler snoozes, Jing Xiaoyun says no, after lying down on the crib, after moving a few times, she gradually closes her eyes and falls asleep.

Jing Ye looked at him beside the bed, then turned to look at Zhao Yue in the other bed.

This is a fool.

The scholar said that when the imperial army broke into Zhao's mansion, all the maids and servants ran away, and only an old woman was left to protect the child.The child was too young to be frightened. Someone knocked over the copper tripod that burned the incense, and the noise was so loud that it frightened the lively little baby into a fool.

The maid came over and said softly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gu is back."

Jing Ye nodded, and went back to the bedroom. Gu Hong was sitting where he had been sitting just now. Seeing him coming, he asked, "Your Majesty wants to take in the Zhao family's child?"

Jing Ye said: "The child is ignorant. If you change his name and identity, he will be raised here for the rest of his life."

Gu Hong looked at him: "Your Majesty is still sorry? If the child's mind is complete, whether it is kept under his knee or released, there will be risks."

"I don't believe that you will attack a child." Jing Ye sat down opposite him, "Besides, he is already stupid, and I owe him this."

Gu Hong laughed and shook his head: "Your Majesty is too soft-hearted."

"I'm soft-hearted." Jing Ye said, "I'm a stupid person, it's better to obey my heart."

Southwest, Gu Mansion.

Gu Yun entered Gu Lao's study room, bowed his head and saluted, "Father."

"Yeah." Old Prime Minister Gu turned around, "Du, got it?"

Gu Yun raised his head and said with a smile: "To capture the thief, you must first capture the king. Ah Hong captured the Zhao family in the capital. It is not easy to deal with these remnants."

"Okay." Gu Lao nodded, "You young people have finished their work, and I, an old man, still have to work hard."

Gu Yun looked at him, and said another salute: "Father...can I allow my son to go with me?"

Gu Laodao: "What are you doing in the capital?"

Gu Yun said: "I want to take Qi Qiao to treat his illness."

"Qi's son." Gu Lao pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Come on, let's go."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Thank you father."

The father and son asked some more business matters, and suddenly a young man came to report outside: "Third Master, there is a lady outside asking to see, saying that she wants to find someone from you."

Gu Lao looked at Gu Yun, who hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Then... go and see him first?"

Gu Lao motioned for him to go, and Gu Yun left the room and went all the way to the front hall of the mansion where guests are entertained.

But he saw a slender woman sitting on a chair sipping tea, and the two girls behind her got up when they saw him coming in.

Gu Yun glanced at her, stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Who is Ma'am?"

The woman said with a blessing: "I live in the Bai family of the general's residence in the north of the town. I am here to find relatives... Mr. Qi."
