Chapter 143 (1/2)
Early in the morning, Mr. Gu came to the Hou's house with a gift.
He first went to Songhe hall to greet the old lady Wei.
”Just come back safe. In the future, if you can't make a decision, ask your brothers more. ”
The old lady, Wei Shi, was very moved. Mr. Gu was also in bad years. He caught up with this critical moment and was transferred back to the capital, where he was still the governor of the capital. If you're not careful, you're almost killed.
Mr. Gu bowed down and said, ”my great aunt worries about me. My nephew is unfilial.”
Old lady Wei Shi said: ”you have such a big thing, how can I not worry about it. Your mother went early, and if she were still there, your father would still be in court, and he would be able to do something for your brother
Mr. Gu slightly bowed his head and said in a deep voice, ”it's OK not to mention father's affairs.”
The old lady Wei Shi sighed, ”God bless you this time, and you should act carefully in the future.
Now, the capital is very chaotic. You are in the position of the governor of the capital. It's not easy for me to know you.
After the emperor's son and grandson's affairs, can avoid. You can't avoid it. You should ask the old Marquis to give you advice. Don't carry it alone. ”
”Thank you for your concern. My nephew will keep it in mind.”
The old lady, Wei Shi, waved her hand. ”I know you are not comfortable here. If you go to the outer courtyard to see the Lord, he must have a lot to say to you. ”
”Farewell, nephew.”
Mr. Gu followed the servant of the Marquis's house to meet the old Duke in the study of the outer courtyard.
Mr. Gu Zhiwen, the Lord of the Marquis's house, was also there.
Mr. Gu first solemnly expressed his thanks and said, ”hello to uncle. Thanks to uncle's help, my nephew was able to get out of prison safely. My nephew is very grateful
The old Marquis exchanged a look with Gu Zhiwen, the eldest master of the Marquis's mansion. Their expressions were both dignified.
”Don't be too polite. Get up.”
Mr. Gu stood up and sat down on the chair.
The old Marquis stared at him, and then said with a serious look, ”it's not my credit that you can get out of prison safely this time.”
Mr. Gu looks confused.
The old Marquis continued: ”I have been running for you these days, and I have talked with empress dowager twice through Li Shizhong, but the result is not ideal.
I heard that you were released yesterday. Zhiwen and I were at a loss. I also asked Zhiwen if he had a relationship in private before you were released.
As a result, he told me that he did trust relationships, but those relationships can only keep you from suffering in prison, but not enough to get you out of prison safely. ”
The Lord Gu Zhiwen nodded again and again, ”the relationship I entrusted will never help you get out of prison safely. Since we learned that you were released from prison yesterday, the old Marquis and I have been thinking about what kind of relationship is behind the scenes to let you out of prison safely. ”
Mr. Gu was at a loss, ”it's not uncle and lobby brother. You help me run. How can I get out of prison so quickly?”
Looking at Mr. Gu, the old Marquis asked, ”if you think about it carefully, who is likely to help you out of prison? Could it be that you missed out on a relationship? I heard that Lu Hou's family proposed to you. Could it be Lu Hou's contacts that helped you? ”
”If it's Lu Hou's contacts, it's possible to save your cousin,” said Gu Zhiwen, the Lord of Hou's residence
Mr. Gu shook his head again and again, ”it can't be that the connections of the Duke of Lu saved me.
The day after my accident, my wife sent someone to Lu Hou's house. Mrs. Lu Hou avoided seeing her and said that the marriage had not been mentioned.
And I don't believe that Marquis Lu is a man of high moral integrity, doing good deeds without leaving a name. If it was Lu Hou's house that saved me, Lu Houfu would have sent someone to come and ask for benefits.
Moreover, I don't think that I have the value of saving me by the Duke of Lu.
When I was in the northwest, I had very little contact with Lu Hou and could not talk about friendship. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible that the Duke of Lu saved me. ”
”It's not Lu Hou's house, nor our Marquis's house. Who saved you? It can't be that the son of heaven suddenly figured it out and let you out. ”
The old Marquis was full of doubts.
Gu Zhiwen, the Lord of Hou's residence, asked: ”second cousin, do you think about it carefully. Did you meet any special people or things when you entered the palace yesterday?”
Mr. Gu frowned and pondered, ”when I entered the palace yesterday, I first met the king of Zhao. The king of Zhao was not polite to me. After that, I met the prince Zhao of Prince Ning's residence, and he thank me for finding the jade pendant for him. I didn't say anything else
The old Marquis frowned, ”if I remember correctly, this time, it's because the young master told me that the jade pendant was lost, and then I'll report it to you.”
Mr. Gu frowned, ”is the old Marquis doubting the prince's edict?”
Then, Mr. Gu shook his head and sneered, ”it can't be a childe's edict. This time I was sent to prison by imperial edict. He gave me everything. How could he take the initiative to save me.
And I don't think he has the ability. If he could really influence his Majesty's decision, why should King Ning be suppressed by the king of Zhao.
Even the prince of Donggong, who is so weak in character, can also oppress King Ning. It can't be. It can't be a childe's edict. ”The old Marquis frowned. ”I agree with you. The imperial edict should not affect your Majesty's decision.”
Liu Zhao had a general sense of existence among many emperors and grandchildren. We all know that he is Ning Wang's legitimate eldest son, more is not clear.
He gave the impression that he was a slightly weak patriarch. Talent is not outstanding, character is not outstanding, ability is not outstanding. Everything is very ordinary.
It is impossible for such an ordinary grandson to suddenly do something that no one else can do, or even affect the emperor's decision.
Therefore, the old Marquis also rejected Liu Zhao at the first time.
Gu Zhiwen, the Lord of Hou's residence, asked, ”who saved the second cousin? Second cousin, do you really have no clue? ”
Mr. Gu shook his head. ”Before, I always thought it was you who ran for me and saved me.”
The old Marquis sighed, ”it seems that there are people who do good deeds without leaving a name. Since the other party won't show up, let's do it for the moment. ”
Mr. Gu returned to Gu's house with a lot of questions.
He didn't go to yamen today.
The previous case has been transferred to Jin Wuwei. Jin Wuwei came forward to investigate Xue family, Donggong and Donggong officials.
Jin Wuwei is the son of heaven's Hawk dog, they are not afraid to offend people. Even the prince, as long as they grasp the handle, can also pull the prince off the horse.
Jin Wuwei has made brilliant achievements in the past decades. Four or five princes have been planted in the hands of Jin Wuwei. Lineage aristocrats, first and second grade officials, are countless.
From top to bottom, the court hated Jin Wuwei. However, he could not do anything about it.
Who let the other side is the son of heaven Eagle dog, the son of heaven do backing, afraid of a fart.
Anyone who dares to fight against Kim woo Wai will be defeated by him.
Mr. Gu came out of the imperial edict and was afraid and hated jinwuwei. He made up his mind to stay away from jinwuwei from now on.
”What's the matter, my lord?” Master Ma asked.
Mr. Gu didn't hide it from Mr. Ma, ”the old Marquis said that he didn't save my officer.”
Ma shiye's face was muddled and forced, ”it's not the Hou's house that saved the adults. Who else can it be?”
Mr. Gu frowned and said, ”I'm also wondering.”
Ma shiye made a bold guess, ”it won't be Xie Mao.”
”Impossible, impossible.”
Mr. Gu's face changed. ”I will be sent to prison by the imperial edict. Thank you for Mao. Xie Mao wanted to kill my official. How could he save me. Don't talk nonsense
”You're right. I'm confused. But if it wasn't for the Duke's house to save the Lord, I really can't think of anyone else who has the ability to save the Lord. ”
Mr. Gu frowned and walked around the study.
He said to Mr. Ma, ”you'll come along with me in those days. Let's see if we can find out the clues. ”
Master Ma bowed down to take orders. He recorded all the itineraries and all the people he had met in the past few days from his imprisonment to his release. Please have a look at them.
Mr. Gu looked over and over again and again, but he still could not see who had the ability to rescue him from the imperial prison.
Master Ma thought for a moment and reminded Mr. Gu: ”my Lord, the lower official thinks that it is the people in the palace who can save the master, or someone who can speak up to his majesty.
The lower official made a list of officials who could influence his Majesty's decision. Do you have any familiar ones? ”
