Chapter 78
The palace has not been peaceful these days, and rumors are everywhere.

Gu Mansion, Buddha Hall.

Gu Yanyi knelt on the cold and hard stone steps for a whole night, and the opposite Mr. Gu, who was sitting high above the main hall, had a livid face and a majestic appearance, holding a three-foot whip in his hand: "Do you know what's wrong? "

Gu Yanyi straightened his back, his face was pale, and his lips were slightly parted: "Son, I know my mistake."

Gu Taifu's face was solemn and gloomy, with old-fashioned brows, and he said calmly: "You have seen the result now, the seals of everyone in the household department have been suspended, and I will hand over all the household affairs to you, but you , do not fulfill their duties, do not cultivate morality, and deeply disappoint me.”

"You know, how many members of the family will wait and see and hesitate for this move, and have doubts about my Gu family. Thinking of my Lanling Gu family's century-old foundation, since the Taizu established the Great Zhou, we have shared weal and woe with the Xiao family. Such a great continuation.”

"But what about you, you are eager for quick success and quick profit, and take risks regardless of the consequences. Don't tell me, you want my Gu family's foundation to be destroyed by your hands?"

This time the household department was sealed off, and Pei Ji cleaned up the internal officials, but anyone who had anything to do with the Gu family was exterminated, extremely cruel.

For the Gu family, to shake their position in the household department is to shake their foundation.

Gu Yanyi's eyes were scarlet, and he slammed his head down on the ground: "The son is reckless, but the father will punish him!"

"Punishment? What's the use of punishing you?"

Gu Taifu's sharp eyes, like a sharp knife, fixedly stared at the weak young man. His son has always been calm, and he will never be a person eager for success. There must be a reason for this incident.

Then he asked sharply, "Say, what are you doing this time?"

Gu Yanyi straightened up: "Going back to father, it's because the son is so ambitious and arrogant."

"Nonsense!" Gu Taifu patted the table heavily: "You think I don't know why you are, you are so eager to hit Pei Dang hard, and even take the risk, it is because of the so-called feelings that have gone to your head!"

Gu Yanyi's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

"You want to make meritorious service in front of the queen mother and immediately marry Princess Yun'an, don't you?"

The last rhetorical question felt extremely oppressive, but Gu Yanyi showed no fear: "Yes."

Grand Tutor Gu stood up suddenly, his face was full of anger, and tinged with hatred: "You are so confused! You let a woman influence your political opinions. If that's the case, then let's call off this marriage!"

"Besides, the Empress Dowager seems quite dissatisfied with this marriage..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Yanyi, who suddenly knelt and walked in front of Mrs. Gu: "Father, this marriage must never be withdrawn!"

Gu Taifu looked at his son who had lost his composure, and frowned: "You know, there are rumors circulating in the palace recently."

These days, the talk about Princess Yun'an's commitment to a slave during the six months of her disappearance has intensified.

Where there is no wind, there is no wave, and rumors are sometimes not completely unbelievable.

Gu Yanyi immediately said: "Father, that rumor is absurd, it's pure nonsense, don't believe it!"

Gu Taifu's expression turned cold: "You mean, do you mean that my father is a person who listens and believes?"

"My son dare not."

Hearing this, Grand Tutor Gu nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, my Gu family has been noble for a hundred years, how can I let such a woman pass through the door, it is an insult to the teachings of the saints!"

"In order to live up to the entrustment of our ancestors and ancestors in heaven, and to live up to the many disciples and guests who rely on my Gu family, you must go to love and make up your mind to call off this marriage for your father."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yanyi's eyes became darker, he stepped back solemnly, and put his head level with the ground: "Father, no matter what, the son will marry the princess, no matter what happens, he will never waver!"

Gu Taifu was a little surprised, but couldn't help being furious.

"Nizi!" He raised his palm high towards his son and dropped it abruptly.

With a "slap", a slap landed on Gu Yanyi's face. He was never stingy with teaching and punishing his son.

Gu Yanyi turned his head slightly, his eyes were dark and he gritted his teeth: "Son, I want to marry the princess."

He has been taught quite harshly since he was a child, and he has always acted righteously, and never escaped the so-called benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. The little princess is his only hope in this life.

Just not conforming to the rules this time, what's wrong?
Is it wrong?
Gu Taifu's complexion was like a dark cloud, and he forced him again: "Tell me, who do you want to marry?"

The tone without hesitation was so firm that it seemed like it was about to grind its teeth: "Son, I want to marry Princess Yun'an."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Taifu paced around impatiently. After a long time, he stopped in front of Gu Yanyi, and slowly exhaled: "It's not impossible for you to marry Princess Yun'an."

"Father." Gu Yanyi immediately raised his head, a gleam of joy flashed across his scarlet eyes: "You..."

Grand Tutor Gu nodded: "But you have to remember, you have to complete one thing before my Gu family will accept her as an apprentice."

Gu Yanyi took a deep breath: "But according to father's orders."

Gu Taifu's complexion softened a little, and he helped him up: "Today, although young, he has awe-inspiring talent at such a young age. There is even a saying among the people that he is a "child prodigy". Can become atmosphere."

"The queen mother has a very close relationship with the king of Yue. She would rather deal with that man to make peace than completely depend on my Gu family."

After a pause, Mr. Gu glanced at his son, and said meaningfully: "It's dangerous! It's dangerous!"

There was something in his father's words, so Gu Yanyi asked: "You mean... you are not from the Son of Heaven Party?"

"It can be said yes, or it can be said no."

"Strictly speaking, being a father is a party that guards the world's orthodox and follows Confucius's morality. The emperor should support the eldest son of the first emperor's direct relative. In everything, growth comes first. Yier, do you understand?"

This means obviously that his Gu family will definitely support the orthodox royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, the Xiao family, but he may not be the current little emperor.

He thought the little emperor and the queen mother were too smart, and the Gu family needed a foolish puppet even more.

Now that the Xiao clan is depressed, the first and second princes have passed away long ago, the orthodox eldest son has long since ceased to exist, and the only surviving little emperor and third prince Xiao Yu are all descendants of concubines.

Longevity comes first... Xiao Yu just happens to be a fool.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanyi clenched his fists and saluted with some hesitation: "But..."

Taifu Gu patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Think about it carefully, if it can be done, I will promise you to marry Princess Yun'an as my father."

A quarter of an hour later, the weather changed suddenly.

Gu Yanyi went back to the room full of worries.

The princess is so kind, if she knew about her marriage, it would implicate the queen mother and the little emperor, and she would definitely not agree to this marriage.

But he really has no way to give up, as long as he can marry her, the rest can be discussed slowly.

He and the princess are going to stay together for the rest of their lives, and they will always come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
