The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all changed their expressions. Who doesn't know that His Majesty's favorite font is Yuanshan script, and those who want to write Yuanshan script but write nondescript ones are the most disgusted. In other words, his second place is out of the question.For a moment, most of the people looked at Gu Daoxin with sympathy.

Su Fang was not particularly anxious. He clearly remembered that Gu Daoxin wrote Yuanshan style, but Gu Daoxin's Yuanshan style was the real standard. It was better than the emperor who loved Yuanshan style. How can the tolerance of a layman be like what Zhou Kanghai said, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog?

Seeing Gu Daoxin's calm expression, Su Fangfang was sure that there was something tricky about it. Some people wanted to harm Gu Daoxin, but their Daoxin had already known about it, and they had prepared preventive measures in advance.

However, Lu Yihong on the side didn't understand the situation, and really thought that Gu Daoxin's Yuanshan script was not well written and might offend the emperor. He was worried and angry, and looked directly at Lu Yijing with fire-breathing eyes.Zhou Kanghai is Lu Yijing's man, he must have been instructed by Lu Yijing to do this!Gu Daoxin's cousin Gu Xinyi once followed Lu Yijing, so he must have obtained this manuscript and handed it to Lu Yijing!

Lu Yijing was taken aback by Lu Yihong's aura, but when he thought that his move was really right, designing the Gu Dao Xin that Lu Yihong liked was to poke Lu Yihong's heart. After a happy time, that ancient faith is still somewhat useful.

This manuscript was indeed written by Gu Daoxin. At that time, he hadn't directly turned against Gu Xinyi, but he already had doubts, and naturally he also doubted the green branch beside him.

That time when he wrote casually, seeing Luzhi looking at his handwriting in a daze, he had a premonition that Gu Xinyi might make a fuss about his handwriting.Luzhi can read and break characters, which is probably why Gu Xinyi is willing to give up and place him by his side.

Sure enough, the next day, Gu Daoxin found that the few pages of Yuanshan layman's poetry anthology he had copied were missing.

Later, when he learned that Gu Xinyi had colluded with Lu Yijing, it was not difficult to guess what they wanted to do with these pieces of paper, so he stood still until that day came.

The emperor read the manuscript, but he didn't lose his temper as Zhou Kanghai and most people expected. He just asked indifferently, "How can Zhou Aiqing determine that this word is written by Gu Daoxin?"

Zhou Kanghai was still wondering why the emperor was not angry, and he didn't react immediately when he heard the emperor's question. After a pause, he immediately said in panic: "Your Majesty, I have a disciple named Gu Xinyi, and it is this Gu Dao heart. Gu Xinyi is loyal to His Majesty, knowing that His Majesty loves Yuanshan style, and seeing that Gu Daoxin wrote Yuanshan style nondescript, he felt that it was a kind of blasphemy to His Majesty and Yuanshan laymen. He was really upset, so he brought his manuscript to see Weichen. Today's palace exam, I feared that His Majesty would be deceived by the ancient Taoist heart, so I brought the manuscript here."

"Oh, so this is righteousness killing relatives?"

The emperor's tone was too wrong, and Zhou Kanghai also realized that things didn't seem to be developing as they expected before, and he didn't know what went wrong, so he was a little worried, "It's... it's the killing of relatives by righteousness."

"It's just a stroke of words, and I'm going to come to you to gossip. Is this still a cousin? Why would a cousin take away his brother's fame just because of a stroke of words? Is this a deep hatred?"

Zhou Kanghai hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty calm down, as my minister said just now, Gu Xinyi also knew that His Majesty liked Yuanshan body, so seeing Gu Daoxin desecrating Yuanshan body, he...will..."

"According to Zhou Aiqing, this Gu Xinyi still has a heart of loyalty to the emperor, but did I blame him?"

"Wei Chen dare not!"

"Hmph! Read Gu Daoxin's article carefully, keep your eyes open and take a good look!"

The father-in-law next to the emperor took Gu Daoxin's article from His Majesty, and walked down the steps to show it to Zhou Kanghai.

Zhou Kanghai raised his head tremblingly, his brow was covered with sweat, and when he saw Gu Daoxin's handwriting, he almost fainted!Compared with the handwriting he just presented to the emperor, this handwriting is basically two kinds of handwriting, completely from the hands of two people!He has never seen a more standard Yuanshan body than this!

"His Majesty!"

Zhou Kanghai bowed and knelt down, his voice full of tears.

"See clearly?"

"Look, see clearly!"

"Hmph! Then who wrote this manuscript?"

The emperor was furious, and directly threw the manuscript into a ball and threw it at Zhou Kanghai.

Zhou Kanghai's top hat was smashed crookedly, and he didn't even have time to straighten it. He defended himself in panic: "This must be written by Gu Xinyi! Gu Xinyi must be jealous of his cousin's talent, so he used this method to frame him! The humble minister is guilty, You shouldn't believe other people's lies, and go to His Majesty to participate in the performance without verification, the humble minister is confused, please forgive me!"

This week Kang Hai's reaction was also quick, he put all the blame on Gu Xinyi in a few words, and he was left with only one crime of negligence, which was easy to explain.

Lu Yihong finally breathed a sigh of relief. The crisis was over, and he no longer stared at Lu Yijing, but turned to look at Gu Daoxin, with the same expression as before.Lu Yihong suddenly realized that when Zhou Kanghai reported him, his nervous heart would jump out of his throat, but Gu Daoxin didn't even frown, and he was always so calm.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Daoxin didn't even defend himself, and the matter was settled.Could it be that from the very beginning, Gu Daoxin knew that he would be framed by such a design?So at the beginning, he had already thought of a countermeasure?Gu Daoxin wrote the most standard Yuanshan style in the answer sheet of the palace examination. Is this also intentional?Is it because he expected that he might use the words he wrote before to talk about things?

In retrospect, Gu Daoxin really didn't even have a surprised expression from the beginning to the end.

If so, how deep is this person's mind?With money and strategy, he might even have power in the near future. The most frightening thing is that Gu Daoxin is still so young!

Lu Yihong clenched his fists, Gu Daoxin, he is determined to win!

The emperor turned his head to look at Gu Daoxin, and joked, "You don't get along well with your relatives, do you? Why does your cousin use this method to frame you?"

Gu Daoxin lowered his head and smiled, with a bitter taste, "Didn't Master Zhou just say that? Maybe the student's cousin was too jealous of the good looks of the students, so he made such a bad move, and the students were also very angry. It's helpless, after all, no matter how good I am, I can't guarantee that everyone will like me, right?"

The emperor burst into laughter, "You are really not humble when you praise me, and you are also good-looking. You are quite smooth when you praise yourself like this."

"Your Majesty has learned that the student is an honest person, and it is natural to tell the truth. It is also the student who, on the one hand, is impressed by His Majesty's majesty, and on the other hand, feels that His Majesty is generous, so he can't help but want to say a lot to His Majesty. If there is any inappropriateness, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor shook his head and smiled, "You have such a mouth! I think that even if you didn't get any fame, you will be able to make a fortune with your mouth in the future!"

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty. The student didn't dare to lie to His Majesty. In fact, the student is not very close to the family. The student's biological father is the youngest in the family, but because he was born to his grandfather and an outsider, he is not taken seriously at home. More When he was young, he was abducted by human traffickers and sold to the countryside. At that time, even his father didn't remember anything. Until his death, his father thought that he was the biological son of that farm family. In fact, he was just a "additional son". I have been abused by my adoptive parents for half my life, and I am often bullied after the separation of the family. Even the students were almost killed by the uncles and brothers of the farmer's family. If it was not for fate, I would not be able to see Your Majesty today."

"There is such a thing!"

Although the emperor knew something about Gu Dao Xin, he didn't know much about it. He focused on his relationship with the Xuanping Hou Mansion, as well as his Yaoguang Pavilion, Jindianzhai and Queguan. His unique way of doing business brought order to the capital. It brought better changes, reduced the number of beggars, and even led to the development of a new type of business, which stabilized the situation in the capital to a certain extent.

I also occasionally heard that he and Lu Yihong had a little friendship, but since I went to the palace today, I saw him and Su Fang look at each other several times, but did not look at Lu Yihong, but Lu Yihong often looked at Gu Daoxin. Seeking talent is very thirsty, but Gu Daoxin has not agreed, and as expected, the rumors cannot be completely believed.

It's just that the emperor didn't know that Gu Daoxin's childhood was so miserable.

"The student didn't know it before. I really thought it was because the grandparents in the family were so eccentric, or after arriving in Lanling, the ancient family came to the door and found the student, saying that the student's father was the third young master of their family. They have been talking about it for many years. I searched, and now I finally found it. Although my father has gone, but fortunately there is still me, so let me recognize my ancestor and return to my family. My father only has me as a son, and if I return to the Gu family, it will be considered that my father's flesh and blood have returned to the Gu family."

"The ancient Lanling family?" The emperor glanced at Eunuch Liao beside him from the corner of his eye. Eunuch Liao understood, and immediately stepped forward and said, "The Imperial Academy compiles ancient books, Yuan is the master of the ancient family."

The emperor nodded, and looked at Gu Daoxin again, "Then Gu Shuyuan is your...uncle?"

"Exactly. It's just that my uncle often stays in the middle of the capital and doesn't have much contact with the students. Later, when the students were lucky enough to pass the test in the country, when my uncle came back, there were more of them. He often taught the students by ear."

"From what you said, you have nothing to do with the Gu family. Why did you accept it when they asked you to recognize your ancestor?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Are you so talkative?"

Gu Daoxin grinned, lowered his head with a smile, "Your Majesty said that the students were a little hesitant. First, there was no sign before this, and the students suddenly called each other family members with a family they didn't know well. The students I also feel awkward, secondly, the students don't want people to think that they are people who cling to the powerful. Thirdly..."

Gu Daoxin hesitated for a moment and said, "Student dare not lie to His Majesty. The student learned that his father would be abducted by human traffickers. It was related to the old lady of the Gu family, who was the student's first grandmother. It is the first grandmother but not the real grandmother. Some The situation shows that the grandmother gave birth to the father of the student because of the true love between the grandmother and the grandfather who hated the student, so she secretly used tricks to let traffickers abduct the father. The student did not blame the grandmother for the troubled life in the past. , but thinking, if his father had not been abducted and sold to that ruthless peasant couple, even if he was raised outside, he would not be so miserable. ... The student is really uncomfortable! But the grandmother said that only if I recognize my ancestors, can my father's tablet be placed in the ancestral hall of the ancient mansion. In order to prevent my father from being lost, the student can only agree."
