Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

"If you have something to play, if you have nothing to go back to the court—"

At the court meeting a few days later, when all the officials were assembled, the great eunuch Ning Fuhai said in a high-pitched voice.

At this time, a young official walked out of the class train, saluted Emperor Jingfeng, and said: "Cao Ziqian, the censor of the Weichen Supervisory Academy, has something to report."

Emperor Jingfeng lightly raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Speak."

Cao Ziqian straightened his chest, glanced at the prince Li Jinze who was standing in front of the official list, and said loudly: "The humble minister wants to impeach the prince for misbehaving, ignoring the laws of the court, and taking local official Gu Yunji back to the capital without permission. This is to harbor evil intentions and to form a clique for personal gain." , please punish me according to law!"

As soon as he said this, Li Jinze's face changed slightly, and all the officials were immediately in an uproar.

Today is the prince's first court meeting since he returned to Beijing. Although everyone had expected that the second prince and his party would attack Li Jinze, Cao Ziqian's words were too serious.

What's the difference between using the two big labels of "harboring evil intentions and forming cliques for personal gain" and clearly stating that the prince wants to rebel?
The people in the East Palace couldn't hold back immediately. Zhan Shixunzhao, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and the young master of the East Palace, sneered: "Cao Yushi said too harshly. His Highness the Crown Prince did something inappropriate, but you must know that there is a reason for everything. Gu Yunji was seriously ill with poisoning, and the doctor from Hangzhou Being helpless and seeing that time was running out, His Highness made an exception and brought Gu Yunji back to Beijing for medical treatment."

"What's more, as far as I know, His Highness did not directly bring Gu Yunji into the capital, but went to the palace first to ask for His Majesty's instructions before placing Gu Yunji in a separate garden. Strictly speaking, Gu Yunji's behavior can only be called AWOL, not Returning to Beijing privately is not as serious as what Cao Yushi said."

After saying that, Xun Zhao bowed to the superior Emperor Jingfeng and said sincerely: "I would also like to ask Your Majesty, for the sake of His Highness the Crown Prince's young age, to waive the punishment and give him a chance to change his ways by mainly giving him discipline and reprimand." .”

"Young? Ha."

Ouyang Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, smiled sarcastically: "The prince is already fifteen years old. In ordinary people's homes, he is already old enough to support his family, marry a wife and have children. Where is the 'young'? His Highness is 14 years old and can still represent the court. As the head of the clan, the prince of Japan is supposed to set an example, but he made such a big mistake despite not wanting to do so. How can the world be convinced by this?"

"Your Majesty, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. The prince knows the law and breaks the law. If he is lightly exposed, the subjects will be resentful. Please put the overall situation first, punish the prince according to the law, and uphold the laws and regulations of Daxia."

With that said, Ouyang Yu took a firm stance and kowtowed heavily on the ground.Officials from the second prince's party followed closely behind, all bowed down and said in unison: "I implore your majesty to put the overall situation first and punish the prince in accordance with the law!"

The pressure from the ministers came upon him, and Li Jinze suddenly felt as if a huge force had been placed on his shoulders, forcing him to kneel down and said with difficulty: "...I know I made a mistake, and I still ask my father to punish me."

Emperor Jingfeng didn't like being put under pressure, so his face looked a little ugly and he didn't say anything for a while.

It was rare to see the prince stumble, and Li Jinche felt very proud. However, in order to show his deep brotherhood, he said hypocritically: "Father, in my opinion, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the eldest brother."

"You must know that the eldest brother's visit in disguise was approved by his father. When he saw an official shielding himself from a hidden weapon and was seriously injured, he must have been very anxious. It is understandable that he acted out of proportion for a moment. But Gu Yunji, as a minister, should be responsible for the prince. It is the duty of admonishment.”

"The eldest brother Huang wants to take him back to the capital. That's because the eldest brother Huang is kind and can't bear to see his ministers sacrifice for him. As a person involved, Gu Yunji just appreciates it. How could he not push back and persuade him, but let the eldest brother bring him back?" Go to Beijing?" Li Jinche spoke with certainty. The more he spoke, the more he felt justified. He couldn't help but raise his chin: "Gu Yunji left his territory without authorization and returned to Beijing privately. He is the one who committed a serious crime. The eldest brother of the emperor was just impulsive. It's just negligence, I ask my father to be wise and bring the culprit Gu Yunji to justice."

Hearing what Li Jinche said, Gu Yunxiao in the train suddenly became angry and glared at him.

After Gu Yunxiao's term at the Hanlin Academy expired, he worked in the engineering department and became a famous official.

He and Gu Yunji had been separated for several years. He finally learned that his third brother was about to return to Beijing, but he was seriously injured and in critical condition. Unfortunately, Gu Yunji was placed in a separate garden by the prince and could not be visited. Gu Yunxiao was anxious and worried every day, and his mouth was burning. Several big bubbles.

Seeing that Li Jinche actually dragged the seriously ill Gu Yunji into the water, Gu Yunxiao was furious. Just as he was about to come out to refute, he heard an excited and sad voice first: "Your Highness said this, but do you still have the heart!"

When Li Jinche heard this, the confident and calm look on his face instantly collapsed. Everyone looked around and found Qian Xun with red eyes and an angry look on his face.

Qian Xun clenched his hands into fists and said with a flushed face: "...I just went to the Tai Hospital to inquire a few days ago. They said that Mr. Gu was poisoned by a strange mixture of high thief poisons. He is now seriously ill, unconscious and in critical condition! Let me ask the Second Highness, Mr. Gu is so ill, how did you ask him to dissuade the prince in the first place? Come and try to persuade him!"

Qian Xun was overcome with emotion for a moment and spoke without regard for dignity and etiquette. Li Jinche was so angry that his chest choked: "You!"

Seeing the ministers whispering to Qian Xun, Qian Song, the Minister of Civil Affairs, looked embarrassed. He quickly lowered his voice and yelled at his son: "Qian Xun, shut up! This is the imperial court. You must not speak or act without words!"

However, Qian Xun was as stubborn as a cow. Not to mention his biological father, even the King of Heaven couldn't shut him up.He was so emotional that one person's voice could overwhelm a large crowd: "Master Gu entered the officialdom, he was a first-grade Tanhualang. He has been an official for eight years now. He can be said to be conscientious, self-denial and dedicated to the public service."

"He first served as a lecturer for the Emperor's Sutra Banquet at the Hanlin Academy, and then introduced potato cultivation in Shu to save the people from famine. Now he has wiped out the Japanese pirates along the coast and restored peace to the people in the southeast. Each of these is one after another, and no one can take it out. Glorious political achievements? If it were placed on the princes, I’d probably be able to brag about it for half a lifetime!”

As soon as these words came out, all the officials had different expressions, especially the two princes who danced the most fiercely before. Their faces were darker than the bottom of the pot.

However, everyone in the court knew that Qian Xun was stubborn and straightforward. The more you refuted him, the more aggressive he became. Not to mention that even Emperor Jingfeng didn't say anything at the moment, so the ministers had no choice but to suppress their dissatisfaction and shut up silently. A mute.

Recalling the days when he and Gu Yunji got along harmoniously during the trip to Shuzhong, Qian Xun became more and more uncomfortable as he talked, and his voice was filled with tears: "... Mr. Gu has made great achievements in politics, but he is still neither arrogant nor impatient and dedicated to the people. Seeing that the prince is in danger, He actually sacrificed himself to shield him from hidden weapons and was seriously injured."

"Master Gu has outstanding abilities and noble conduct, and he can be called the pillar of my great Xia. Now his life is in danger, but you are still here to attack him, clamoring about the crime of leaving his post without permission, and even your heart is broken. No more! It’s really, really..."

As Qian Xun spoke, his anger arose in his heart. He was at a loss for words and simply spat hard: "I'm so sorry for you!" (End of Chapter)
