Fu Ming opened his mouth, and among the civil and military officials, some officials heard the news and came out one after another, expressing their support.

At this time, Du Shilang of the Ministry of Industry suddenly came out, "Your Majesty, Sun Fulin has failed His Majesty's trust, disregarded the safety of all people, exchanged moldy rice for new rice, filled his own pockets, the amount is huge, and he is the most vicious. I suggest that this person be killed on the spot." , as an example to others!"

As soon as Du Shilang said this, the officials who knew the inside story all cast a glance at him.

Emperor Mingde's eyes paused on him for a moment.

Facing all the officials, he said quietly, "What the official said in the letter, Sun Fulin made a big fuss in He County, threatening that the third prince is his backer. What do you think about this?"

The civil and military officials in the hall looked at Emperor Mingde, then at the third prince in the court hall, looked at each other, secretly guessing the meaning of Emperor Mingde's words.

Under the gaze of Emperor Mingde, the third prince took the initiative to stand out, knelt down and felt wronged, "Please learn from my father, my child was wronged, it was Sun Fulin who grabbed the child and charged the child with the hope of escaping his own guilt. And Gou Lian, ask the father to believe the child. If the father does not believe it, the child is willing to die to prove his innocence."

Emperor Mingde looked at the third son who was kneeling on the ground and was full of emotion, his eyes were unclear.

Among his own sons, this third son was smart and sensible since he was a child, and he was quite fond of him.

I don't want to instigate officials to make such big mistakes just after the establishment of the Mansion and Li Palace, which will waste his trust.

It would not be too much to ask him to die, after all, he is his own son, but the crime of living is inevitable, and let him know the price he should pay for making mistakes.

If you haven't been trained, it's not too late to punish.

After a long time, Emperor Mingde said, "Take the third prince back to the third prince's mansion. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the gate of the mansion."

"Sun Fulin will be escorted to Beijing immediately, and handed over to the three divisions for interrogation."

"Retreat."

When the emperor went down to court, all the officials secretly exhaled, and the officials who had been friends with each other went down to court together, whispering in whispers.

Gu Huaichun was walking on the official road, and as soon as he stepped down the steps, Zhongshujian hurriedly chased after him.

He leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Gu Shangshu, I heard that the second son of your family has gone to He County in the near future. I wonder if he knows the secrets involved in the Sun Fulin case."

Gu Huaichun replied to him expressionlessly, "My son is traveling all over the world and passing through Hejun. He is dressed in white, so he doesn't know how he pays attention to the affairs of the officialdom. If the Zhongshu Supervisor is interested in this matter, he may ask Vice General Zhao, Vice General Zhao, as the main official of the grain transportation, also reported Sun Fulin's meritorious service, maybe he knows more."

Without waiting for the supervisor to reply, Gu Huaichun bowed his hands to him, "The old mother at home feels unwell, so excuse me." After speaking, he turned his head and left.

Zhongshu watched his leaving back, pouted.

As long as Gu Shangshu was involved with his second son, he was really cautious and kept his mouth shut.

Talk to him and nothing big will happen, as for?
The supervisor of Zhongshu chatted a few words, and when he saw his familiar colleagues walking on the official road, his unhappiness faded away, and he happily stepped forward to chat.

After Gu Huaichun walked out of the palace gate, he didn't stop walking, and when he returned to the Duke of Zhen's mansion, he went directly to Yazhuxuan to find his second son.

Gu Xuan arrived at the mansion late at night last night, and Gu Huaichun went outside the Meridian Gate to wait for the court at Yinshi.

After Gu Xuan came back, the two father and son hadn't met each other yet.

Gu Xuan also woke up at this point, when Gu Huaichun came to Yazhuxuan, he was practicing sword in the garden.

The young man was wearing a strong black suit, holding the long sword in his hand, swinging it freely like a dragon swimming in water.

Gu Huaichun looked at this scene, lowered his head and raised his brows, in a daze.

It wasn't until Gu Xuan saw him, put away his sword, and called him, that he came back to his senses, and nodded with him, "Go into the room and chat."

Xiao Ba took the washbasin into the room to serve, Gu Xuan simply washed up, changed into a set of normal clothes, and went outside to talk.

Xiao Baduan walked to the washbasin, closed the room, and left the space for the two father and son.

Gu Huaichun looked at the handsome second son who was sitting upright, and said after deliberating, "Xuan'er's trip to the south, is there anything to gain?"

Gu Xuandao, "My son has searched and asked the way all the way, and he has realized a little bit, so this trip is worthwhile."

Gu Huaichun nodded slightly after hearing this, "That's very good."

For a while, neither father nor son spoke again.

After a long time, it was Gu Huaichun who broke Gu's silence and asked, "In the early court, an official wrote to Sun Linlin for corruption, accepting bribes, and using disaster food. The matter even involved the third prince, so I wanted to ask you if you passed by and counties when you went south?" , heard about it."

Gu Xuan replied truthfully, "At that time, I happened to be in Hejun, and even intervened in this matter."

Gu Huaichun raised his eyebrows abruptly, turned around and looked at him in surprise, "You have always been indifferent, how could you get involved in this matter?"

Compared to Gu Huaichun's anxiety, Gu Xuan was as calm as before.

He explained, "After Sun Fulin's treachery was discovered by the local parents and officials, he tried to cover up the truth, turned black and white, and murdered officials. He just couldn't bear to see a good official killed, but the bad guy was arrogant, so he asked Liu Zhifu to help the county magistrate." I don’t think that Liu Zhifu is purely like a sheep. Fortunately, the county magistrates are aware of the details and did not miss this fish that slipped through the net.”

The case of Sun Fulin made the emperor lose face, and Longyan was furious.

Now that Sun Fulin's case came first and Liu Zhifu's case came out, the emperor's anger became much lighter.

At that time, the court made a decree to dismiss Liu Zhifu from his official position, confiscate his family property, and exile him for three thousand miles.

I thought that these two cases were not very involved, but my son was still going through the needles and threads in these two cases, causing ups and downs.

Looking at the boy's calm facial features, Gu Huaichun's heart was turbulent.

Seeing that his expression was different, Gu Xuan coughed lightly and said, "Father, I wonder if there is something wrong with my son's actions?"

Gu Huaichun narrowed his gaze, and said gently, "Of course you are right, but the officialdom is dangerous, you have lived in seclusion since childhood, and you have a pure and kind nature, it is better not to get involved in such disputes and focus on cultivating the Tao at home. "

Gu Xuan nodded in response.

Gu Huaichun nodded slightly, stood up and said, "Your grandmother has been thinking about you since you left the house, so you can accompany Weifu to visit your grandmother."

The young man's brows and eyes were soft, "I happened to meet a genius doctor in Hejun, and asked for a prescription for my grandmother. I might use it for my grandmother today."

What is so magical about this place in Hejun County?
When Gu Huaichun saw him go out for a long trip, not only his eyes and eyebrows relaxed.

He also talked a lot more, and Hejun was mentioned many times in the words, so he couldn't help but take a deep look at him.

"My son has a heart. Your grandmother will be happy to see you."

After the father and son went to see the old lady, Gu Huaichun immediately called his subordinates into the study.

After ordering what to do, Gu Huaichun went to Da Furen's place.

The eldest lady was fiddling with Qiuju in the room, and seeing him coming, she didn't lift her eyelids, and said in a strange way, "What kind of wind is blowing today? It actually brought the master to my place."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the little girl to serve tea, Gu Huaichun waved his hand, "No need, I will leave after I have something to say to you."

The eldest lady asked the little girl to back down, and said with a blank expression, "If there is something to tell the servant, why does the master have to go this trip in person?"
