After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

"presumptuous!"

The emperor angrily swept everything on the table to the ground, his face completely gloomy and said to Gu Jingcheng.

"After I've found out about this matter, if what you said is true, I will definitely give you justice and make these dudes pay for their arrogance, but Gu Zhuangyuan, my imperial study is not a place for you to talk about your love for your children. , you are so presumptuous, are you not afraid that I will go to your position of number one scholar and demote you to a commoner?"

The No. [-] Scholar in the country does not know how great the future will be in the future. It is really not what a smart person should do to ruin such a good future for a woman.

"Return to Your Majesty." Gu Jingcheng was still kneeling on the ground. He was neither humble nor overbearing, "I dare not lie to Your Majesty. I was naturally afraid at the beginning. I have studied hard for more than ten years, and I have suffered countless hardships for the present. Your Majesty Now I see that the minister can wear brocade robes and jade crowns, all of which are obtained by the minister's wife's hard work for the minister. Your Majesty is a benevolent king. He speaks widely in the country and promotes filial piety to rule the world. He will definitely not go to Cambodia because he is grateful for his wife's kindness. And angry."

"What if I must be angry?"

There was a sudden chill in the emperor's words, he sneered and said: "If you offend Tianyan, you will be punished."

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Lin An and Shangguan Rui didn't take it seriously when they saw that the emperor's face didn't change, but he was a little sullen.

After all, His Majesty is the king of benevolence and righteousness, and he never shouted at the officials, but Gu Jingcheng is the current number one scholar, and he will also enter the Imperial Academy as a civil servant in the future.

Unexpectedly, just as the two of them relaxed, the emperor became angry.

"Oh," the emperor became even angrier when he saw that the first assistant and the former prince Shaofu were speaking for Gu Jingcheng. He pointed to Gu Jingcheng and said, "They all speak for you. Is it more important than your wife?"

Gu Jingcheng understood the implication of the emperor's words, it was nothing more than telling him not to continue talking about his wife.

Although the country's restriction on women is not as strict as that of the previous dynasty, it will still be criticized for raising women to the court.

"Of course it's important, but for the minister, the minister's wife plays an irreplaceable important role. When the minister is away studying, the minister's wife serves his parents at home instead of the minister. The minister has been fiercely attacked by Min for a long time. If it weren't for the minister's Wife, I wouldn't have such achievements today, there was a wound in ancient times, if it wasn't for my wife, I would have a talent beyond the heavens, and there is a great possibility that I will be wiped out by everyone."

Gu Jingcheng kowtowed.

"In this way, I will agree with what you said. Today I will ask Marquis Dingxi to give you an explanation. You can step back."

The emperor collected his expression and told Gu Jingcheng to leave.

Inside the imperial study.

The emperor had a gloomy face, and it hadn't changed back to his usual appearance for a long time after Gu Jingcheng left.

Neither Lin An nor Shangguan Rui dared to talk nonsense, they both lowered their heads and remained silent.

Seeing that the two of them didn't say a word, the emperor knew that these two fried dough sticks had always had their own ideas, and the reason they didn't speak now was simply because Gu Jingcheng was now considered to be in their camp.

No matter what they say now, the emperor will not believe it too much. If they say too much, he will be afraid of whether the two of them have other thoughts that they shouldn't have.
"Passionate, even a woman can't let go, is such a person really worthy to be the number one scholar in the country?"

The emperor stared at Lin An, forcing the latter to raise his head to answer.

Lin An has been the chief assistant for many years, and has been playing games with the emperor for many years. How could he not know what kind of idea his master is playing now?
Lured Gu Jingcheng's No. [-] Scholar?This is of course impossible, after all, the title on the gold list, the first place in the imperial examination, such a name has already been given out, if there is no big mistake, Gu Jingcheng is the champion of Chunwei this time.

Tell the people all over the world that this number one scholar is greedy for women and can't be used, so tell him not to enter the court as an official?

This is also more impossible.

After all, the woman is his wife, and it is only natural for a husband to care about his wife. Even if they are facing the Ninth Five Supreme, how can they easily separate the husband and wife?

Therefore, the fact that Gu Jingcheng lost his virtue in front of the emperor because of Su Xiaomu should not be spread to the common people, or the common people should not let the common people think that Gu Jingcheng is a person who only knows how to love and cannot be used.

Otherwise, no matter what happens next, it will affect the reputation of the emperor.

The emperor is getting older, unlike when he was a young emperor, now he values ​​his own reputation more. If it is said that he was attacking the city when he was young, then the current emperor naturally wants to be a defender of the city.

After thinking about this, Lin An took the initiative to step forward and talk to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, in fact, it is a good thing for Your Majesty that Gu Zhuangyuan and his wife have a good relationship. If Gu Zhuangyuan only knows about corruption and is not a flexible and affectionate person, how can Your Majesty entrust him with great use? In this world, only those who have weaknesses are the ones who are the easiest to deal with."

Shangguan Rui never thought that Lin An would say that about Gu Jingcheng, he stood there for a moment, and then realized that he said the same thing to the emperor.

"The old minister also thinks that Lord Shoufu is right. Since His Majesty has important matters to be delivered to the champion, it can be regarded as a test now. Since his wife is the one who has accompanied him through the last days, the two of them will support each other. Gu Zhuangyuan's wife will not give up on Gu Zhuangyuan, and Gu Zhuangyuan will not give up on her either."

"Ai Qing means that this woman is also very important?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, but he was suddenly curious, who is Gu Jingcheng's wife?

Why did his two mistresses favor her both inside and outside the words? In this way, maybe he can find a chance to meet Gu Jingcheng's wife.

The emperor had a measure in his heart, so he was not as angry as before.

"Naturally." Lin An didn't realize that the emperor had other thoughts, he said, "Husband and wife are a family, and Gu Zhuangyuan guarding the small family is equivalent to guarding the country."

Lin An devoted all his attention to explaining to Gu Jingcheng and Su Xiaomu, Shangguan Rui looked at his emperor from the sidelines but felt that the emperor's appearance was a bit strange.

It seems that he doesn't really want to blame Gu Jingcheng now, but has some other thoughts that Shangguan Rui can't guess for the time being.

Here in the imperial study, the three monarchs and ministers talked about Gu Jingcheng's issue for a long time.

Su Xiaomu was waiting outside the palace alone, and he thought it was very boring.

After all, although there were many carriages parked outside, their respective masters were resting in the carriages, waiting for students to take part in the palace examination, and few of them were willing to come down and walk around.

But Su Xiaomu really couldn't sit still, she sat and lay down in the carriage, no matter how she posed for herself, she couldn't sit comfortably.

Although there is an element of panic in her heart, but right now, she just feels uncomfortable and tense all over.
