Twin Brocade

Chapter 967

"Master Gu, don't you think it's inappropriate to use the family affairs of a subordinate official to compare the Tian family?" Quan Moxian's voice was not loud, but Gu Shangshu's heart skipped a beat.

Gu Shangshu actually knew in his heart that he was trying to make excuses.The purpose is only to confuse the public, and Fang Shuyu cannot be allowed to control the right to speak.

His rhetoric did not stand up to scrutiny.However, from Fang Shuyu's point of view, there is no way to refute it.

What he didn't expect was that Quan Moxian dared to stir into this muddy water.

Isn't he known as a pure minister?
"Quan Moxian," Gu Shangshu said coldly, "You are a mere fourth-rank official, where do you have the guts to criticize the affairs of the Tian Family?"

"Mr. Gu's words are wrong. Since the lower officials are ordered by the emperor to enter the palace to discuss matters, they have the qualifications to talk to the adults. What's more, it is the adults who mentioned your wife first, and it is not the lower officials who cause trouble."

Quan Moxian clasped his fists, made a round bow, and said in a deep voice: "My lords, the lower officials have little talent and learning, and never dared to use an ax in front of seniors."

"However, Mr. Gu humiliated his wife with his words. If a man can't even protect his wife and children, what kind of man is he?!" He opened his eyes wide and approached Gu Shangshu step by step, furious.

He occupied the word "love", which caused Gu Shangshu to retreat again and again, and the rest of the officials nodded.

"you!"

Gu Shangshu originally threatened Quan Moxian, meaning that you are still working under my errands, and you can't expect good results if you contradict the Shangguan.

Unexpectedly, Quan Moxian would not retreat but advance, he was speechless.

Time seemed to flow back to the time when Quan Moxian went to the palace to have a banquet just after winning the number one prize.After seven years, Quan Moxian is still that sharp young man.

Seeing that Gu Shangshu was forced into embarrassment by him, the officials from the prince's side stepped forward and said: "Master Fang just accused Lord Wei of contradicting his boss for being unjust. Lord Quan, why didn't you do this?"

Quan Moxian glanced at him coldly, took out an oiled paper package from his bosom and held it up high, saying: "The loyalty of a subordinate official is only dedicated to the Holy Majesty, not to an unrighteous Shangshu lord!"

Looking at the oiled paper package, Gu Shangshu felt ominous in his heart.

what is this?
He really wanted to go forward and take it, but this is the Xuanzheng Palace, how could he take it under the eyes of everyone?

Quan Moxian walked a few steps quickly, came in front of Zhu Zihou, bowed and said: "Master Zhu, I am impeaching Mr. Gu as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, disregarding the laws of the country, and forming a party for personal gain!"

Zhu Zihou stood up solemnly, and asked, "Do you really mean what Mr. Quan said?"

"My lord, with such an important matter, how dare the subordinate officials play tricks!"

Gu Shangshu was stunned for a moment, then strode forward, pointed at Quan Moxian and cursed: "Zhuzi! Son! Who gave you the courage to slander me!"

"Where did the bastard come from!" As he said that, he reached out to grab Quan Moxian.

Quan Moxian took a few steps back to avoid Gu Shangshu, cupped his hands upwards and said, "Master Shangshu, this is not a vegetable market. How can you act like a shrew?"

The officials of King Qi's faction burst out laughing.

Zhu Zihou opened his arms, and said slowly: "How can you allow nonsense?!"

Seeing this, Guan Jinghuan gave Gu Shangshu a look and told him to step back.Quan Moxian will take out the memorial to impeach Gu Shangshu at this moment, seeing that the oiled paper package he is holding is not light, there are obviously other evidences.

At this moment, the most urgent task is to find out what is in Quan Moxian's hands, rather than make this matter a big deal.

Gu Shangshu walked away angrily, and Quan Moxian also retreated.The officials of the two factions were separated, with a clear distinction, and only a small number of neutral officials stood in the other place.

"Lord Quan, this is a big matter. When your majesty comes down, you can submit it yourself!" Zhu Zihou said.

"Thank you, my lord." Quan Moxian saluted deeply.

Since it was impeachment, the memorial was naturally to be presented to the emperor, and it was reasonable for Zhu Zihou not to accept it.

When Quan Moxian retreated, when he passed by Fang Shuyu, they exchanged understanding expressions with each other.

At this moment, Wu Guangqi led a group of young eunuchs into the main hall, and said with a smile: "Your lords are the pillars of the country, you have worked hard all night! The emperor ordered the old servants to come, and all your lords have breakfast."

for breakfast?
All the ministers looked at each other and understood that if they did not agree on the crown prince today, they might not be able to go home.

The little eunuch entered the hall with a long table, and a group of maids came in with food boxes, presenting a steaming hot breakfast to everyone.

Breakfast is very simple, a bowl of minced chicken porridge, a few crystal shrimp dumplings, and a plate of salted peanuts.Only in front of the respected Zhu Zihou, there was an extra serving of pearl tofu.

After staying up all night, everyone was already hungry.Smelling the aroma of the food, I couldn't help but move my chopsticks one after another.

While eating, a young eunuch came in from the door, walked up to Wu Guangqi and said in a low voice: "Eunuch, the prince sent a blood letter and asked to see the emperor."

The little eunuch's voice was very soft, but it was still heard by Zhu Zihou who was the closest to Wu Guangqi.As if he had never heard of it, he firmly picked up a chopstick of tofu and put it in his mouth.

Wu Guangqi frowned, nodded in agreement, and left in a hurry with the young eunuch.

It seems that the prince did not give up and resorted to such means as the blood book.

Zhu Zihou thought silently, digesting the news.How will this affect the next situation?
In the imperial study room, Emperor Qinglong did not sit on the dragon chair, but rested on the soft couch in the inner room, and there was also a breakfast in front of him.

As expected, I am getting older, and my energy is not as good as before.

When I first ascended the throne, let alone a whole night, even a few of them would not be so mentally ill.

When Wu Guangqi came back, he waited on Emperor Qinglong to finish his breakfast, and brought some tea to rinse his mouth, hesitant to speak.

Emperor Qinglong glanced at him: "You old bastard! If you have anything to say, just say it. What are you trying to do with such pretentious tricks?"

Wu Guangqi wondered: "Your Majesty, this old servant is afraid that it will affect your mood."

Emperor Qinglong leaned back, stretched his muscles and bones, his eyes were calm: "Say it, the sky won't fall."

"Your Majesty," Wu Guangqi took out the Prince's blood book from his pocket, and said respectfully, "The Prince has just sent someone to deliver it, and he wants to face the saint alone."

Emperor Qinglong took it over to look at it, and said after a while: "Let him come, I want to see if he has anything else to say."

"Yes." Wu Guangqi said no more, bowed and retreated.

Emperor Qinglong adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable, and closed his eyes.

"Wake me up when the prince comes." He ordered the little eunuch who was waiting by the side.At this time, he needs to take a good rest, even if only for a moment.

Baiguan did not return overnight, which has not happened since Emperor Qinglong ascended the throne.

In Nancheng, where these officials' mansions are gathered, the tense atmosphere is gradually spreading.Even the faces of the servants who went out to buy things were tense, and they didn't say a word.
