Chapter 2784 Everyone takes a step back【2】
He added: "The prince is the king, and I am a minister and a citizen. Even if I don't have the status of cousin, the Gu family will have to kneel in front of the prince in this life and do errands for the prince honestly... If the royal family doesn't like it, I can resign and return." In my hometown, I farmed honestly, did not teach, did business, or wrote poetry, and stopped doing anything that could make me famous."
Mr. Wang was shocked when he heard this. He didn’t expect that Gu Jinan would go to this step to disown his relatives... Okay, okay, he was very happy in his heart, but on his face he sighed: "Think about it again and give me an answer tomorrow."
Having said that, he left the side hall and went to the Qingzheng Hall to report back to Wei Qi.
Wei Qi was very angry after hearing this: "You don't know what's good or bad, and you dare to threaten me with resignation. Do you really think that I don't dare to kill him?!"
Hey, you really don’t dare to kill him, unless you want to lose your country.
Lord Wang said this silently in his heart, and then said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Young people have edges and corners, but they can't handle things. If you lock him up for two days, he won't be able to handle it and succumb to the imperial power." .”
However, Gu Jinan was different from other young ministers. He was the one who accompanied Emperor Jing Yuan to the end. It can be said that his will was as strong as a rock. Even if Emperor Jing Yuan came back to life and pointed a knife at him and forced him to recognize his relatives, he would not Will not give in.
It's just that he is worried about Ouyang Ming, because he feels sorry for her.
Wei Qi also knew that he loved his wife and daughter, so he asked Mr. Wang to lie that Ouyang Ming was too worried and had signs of miscarriage, and also said that Sister Zhang was sick.
But apart from worrying about self-blame, Gu Jinan still did not recognize his relatives.
Wei Qi was so angry that he smashed things and wanted to use some extreme methods, but he was afraid of angering Mr. Qin, Mr. Feng and the Ouyang family.
He wanted Wei Lin to do something miserable and begged Gu Jinan to make Gu Jinan feel at ease. He was stopped by Mr. Wang again: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince. You must not do anything too humble, otherwise the Crown Prince's majesty will be lost. live!"
Wei Qi was the only one who was very precious. After hearing this, he could only give up and continue to detain Gu Jinan and put pressure on him, hoping that Gu Jinan would be forced by the emperor's power and take the initiative to recognize his relatives.
But until the afternoon of the next day, Gu Jinan still refused to recognize him.
Gu Dewang and the others did not dissuade her. They only said that Gu Dashan had adopted, divorced, and left the clan, and was no longer a family.
“Excommunicated from the clan?!” Wei Qi was shocked. Only then did he realize that Gu Jinan was trying to save his face by not telling the story about Gu Shengxiang being excommunicated from the clan.
“The whole family can’t hold something up against the wall, why would Baoxian have to deal with such a shameless relative!”
However, Wei Qi didn’t know that the most vicious and shameless person was Qian Lier.
Just when Wei Qi was at his wits' end, the Imperial Forest Army came over and reported: "Your Majesty, Duke Cheng Guo has entered the imperial city and wants to see your Majesty."
After hearing this, Wei Qi's face turned dark. He knew that Mr. Qin had come to ask for someone, but the quarrel had been going on for two days and one night. If Gu Jinan and the others were detained for personal matters again, the officials would definitely start a riot.
He could only say: "Invite Duke Cheng Guo."
"Yes." Hundreds of households in the Royal Forest Army went to invite people.
Wei Qi called Wei Lin over and told him: "When Grandpa Qihe comes in, you can cry with him. He is old and soft-hearted now, and he will definitely help you successfully recognize your marriage."
You want him to pretend to cry again? !
Wei Lin was very unhappy, but he knew that his biggest supporter was Wei Qi, so he could only nod his head obediently: "Yes, I will obey my orders and I will definitely get this job done."
"Good boy." Wei Qi was very pleased. Look at my son. He is so good at doing things at the age of seven. When he grows up, he will be a wise king. …
Not long after, Mr. Qin came in and saluted: "Old minister, I pay my respects to your majesty and to the prince."
Wei Qi hurriedly took Wei Lin to help him: "Uncle He, I told you that you see me all the time, so there is no need to be polite. Get up quickly."
After saying that, he looked at Wei Lin.
Wei Lin immediately rushed towards Mr. Qin and cried: "Oh, oh, oh, Grandpa He, is Brother Lin a bad boy? Why doesn't Cousin Gu recognize me?"
Mr. Qin hugged him and comforted him: "The prince doesn't cry. It's not your fault. It's all the grievances of the older generation. It's all over. There's no need to think about it anymore, and there's no need to recognize any relatives. The prince has his own close relatives, so there's no need to worry about it anymore." Acknowledge Gu family."
Wei Qi was furious when he heard this, and choked with sobs and said to Mr. Qin: "Uncle He, aren't you going to help me either?"
"It's not that the old minister didn't help your majesty, but that your majesty made a mistake from the beginning." Mr. Qin looked at Wei Qi and said, "Since your majesty calls this old minister uncle, then I will rely on my old minister to talk about your majesty's mistakes."
Wei Qi felt unhappy, but he still had to humbly say: "Uncle He is my elder. Please tell me. I am all ears."
Mr. Qin said: "Your Majesty made three mistakes. The first mistake was that he forgot the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. You and the prince are monarchs, and the Gu family is ministers. Regardless of whether they recognize each other or not, the Gu family will have to work hard for your family all their lives. Your Majesty, there is no need to bother or make trouble again." The acknowledgment of marriage hurts the relationship between the king and his ministers."
"The second mistake was that I was too kind and didn't leave the mother and keep the son early. If Your Majesty, after getting married, had placed the prince with the queen to raise, there wouldn't be such troubles as today."
"The third mistake was to believe one-sided words and let the prince confess his relatives rashly without checking. Does your majesty know how hateful the old Gu family is? Regarding the matter between the old Gu family and Gu Dashan's family, I saw Mr. Li being beheaded on the way to escape. From the beginning At the end of the experience, it turns out that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu are not human beings. When they were young, they collaborated to murder Gu Dashan's mother-in-law, Fei. With such a blood feud, the Gu family can not anger the concubines and siblings, but let the case be settled in court. That’s enough patience!”
Mr. Qin spoke too excitedly. After taking a few breaths, he continued: "Your Majesty, let this matter end here. If it continues, it will only damage the reputation of the prince!"
He also said: "Everything the old minister said is true. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can go to the Ministry of Punishment and get the files to read. The case of the old Gu family was well known to everyone in Jianghuai."
"Of course I am a letter to Uncle He." Wei Qi still wanted to be ashamed and did not dare to order anyone to get the file. He slapped the table and said angrily: "The Gu Pan family and the Qian family are so shameless. If they know what they have done, Regarding the matter, I will definitely not force Brother An to admit his relationship!"
However, does Wei Qi really not know?
He knew at least 70%, but he didn't want to give up the good relationship of the Gu family, and wanted to use the Gu family to bring more help to him, so he insisted on asking Wei Lin to recognize him.
It’s just that Mrs. Gu’s wife is not a thing, and what she does is not human affairs, so he doesn’t get the advantage and loses his face.
Mr. Qin said: "Your Majesty has been kind since he was a child. This time it was because the precious concubine had saved his life and trusted her too much, so he was deceived... Your Majesty does not need to worry. I will tell An Ge'er and explain to the outside world. I will definitely Let’s settle this matter properly.”
Wei Qi is the emperor after all. If this matter continues, it will not do any good to the Gu family. Mr. Qin can only choose to settle the matter.
but…
"That Qian Chenggui is a nuisance. We can no longer keep him in the capital. If your Majesty can't bear to kill him, just send him away."
Wei Qi nodded: "Uncle He is right. It is this unruly slave who concealed what the old Gu family did. This evil slave cannot be kept any longer. I will grant him death and give the Gu family an explanation!"
Wei Qi vented his anger on Qian Chenggui and had murderous intentions towards him.
