The first wife of the strongest peasant daughter

Chapter 235
When Gu Chuhan returned to the palace, he didn't even show his face. He stayed in the East Palace in the name of healing his wounds. In the eyes of outsiders, he killed someone and committed a crime. He hid himself and dared not show up!
The imperial court filed impeachments one after another, and even some people began to report that Gu Chuhan killed by nature, disregarded the laws and regulations, committed serious crimes, and demanded that the crown prince be deposed and a new crown prince be established!

In just a few days, the call for another crown prince became louder and louder.

The Yuan family has also been seeking justice and accountability from Emperor Yan, and the Yuan family even fanned the flames among the people, sowing public opinion and getting the people to side with them.

"Your Highness! They are already manipulating public opinion! It is now rumored that the emperor first killed General Yuan Chengli in the name of a discussion, and then murdered General Yuan Chengfang on the way back to Beijing." Ling Zhen handed her the news from all over the place.

Gu Chuhan glanced at it roughly, and put it aside, "Although I am orthodox, I am still a woman, and a half outsider, without foundation. So if the government really wants to depose me, let them depose!"

"Say frustrating words again!" Ling Zhen scolded her with feigned anger.

"I'm telling the truth!" Gu Chuhan rolled his eyes, "Clean it up for me, it's going to be winter if I don't rest anymore!"

Yingxue and Yingran took care of her clothes for tomorrow.

The next morning, Gu Chuhan appeared in court clothes, his face still pale.

Looking at those courtiers, Gu Chuhan really had a headache, and wanted to change them all!But it may not be said that there is no replacement, and the successor will not happen overnight.

"Since you are so united in the same hatred, let the court try the case today, and let all civil and military officials see the truth!" Gu Chuhan waved his hand.

Heihu and Eunuch Liu Hong came up with evidence.

"My lords, let's take a look! This certificate of life and death was proposed by Yuan Chengli himself that day, and my palace agreed and established it together. All the witnesses at that time testified and left their names on it." Gu Chuhan asked the ministers to look at it.

Heihu took it to the most powerful person who shouted to depose the prince, and asked them to take a closer look.

"Even if there is such a life and death certificate, Yuan Chengli is a first-rank general in the dynasty, and the emperor's grandson has no right to kill him!" Yuan sent officials to stand up and refute immediately.

"What do you mean, Yuan Chengli has the right to kill Bengong?" Gu Chu coldly raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"It is a fact that the emperor's grandson killed a first-rank general!"

There was also a pure minister who stood up, "Yuan Chengli put forward the life and death certificate first. In ordinary discussions, but he wants to make a life and death certificate with His Royal Highness the emperor's grandson. I don't know what Yuan Chengli's intention is? Could it be that he wants to kill the emperor's grandson!?"

"My lord Chen's words are wrong! To set up a life and death certificate without permission is a violation of the law. The emperor's grandson knows that he broke the law. How can he have a life and death certificate and dismiss the murder charge!? The emperor's grandson is a role model for the country, so we need to be careful Be cautious in your words and deeds, and be strict with yourself! If everyone follows the example and agrees to fight privately, as long as there is a life and death certificate, will the crime of murder be erased!?" Yuan Chengmo sneered.

Master Chen, who retorted aloud, was blocked for a while and couldn't speak.The impact of this matter is indeed too great, and it is also where the emperor's grandson was eager for quick success and did not consider it thoroughly.

"But the life and death certificate was first proposed by Yuan Chengli, asking the emperor's grandson to stand together, can the crime be offset by death!? I'm afraid Yuan Chengli will take the blame for his own death!"

"The emperor's grandson killed the minister, and the crime is unforgivable! He should be deposed!"

The two parties quarreled again.

Then Yuan Chengmo also produced evidence, "Since the emperor's grandson is going to try the case in the court, then you can explain it. What is the explanation for the letter that Yuan Chengfang privately asked Yuan Chengfang to talk in the emperor's grandson's room?"

Gu Chuhan nodded, "It is indeed very similar to my handwriting, which is enough to confuse the real one, but there are also two witnesses here in this palace. Master Yuan doesn't want to see it?"

"Bring witnesses!" Emperor Yan ordered in a deep voice.

Soon the ghostwriter who imitated Gu Chuhan's handwriting was brought over, along with Liang Zhi.

When Yuan Chengmo saw Liang Zhi, his eyes suddenly flashed with violence.This Liang Zhi followed Yuan Chengfang for more than 20 years, but he rebelled! ?
Liang Zhi was originally a man of placement, and had always been loyal to Yuan Chengfang. Sometimes the rest of the Yuan family would not listen to them, but only Yuan Chengfang, so Yuan Chengfang also trusted him so much that he entrusted him with the task of falsely surrendering and tipping off the news.But he didn't expect that he really surrendered.

Kneeling down to meet the ceremony, Liang Zhi explained in detail what Yuan Chengfang had arranged for him, "The general felt that it was not good, so he notified His Highness, and also dissuaded General Yuan, who did not expect General Yuan to actually assassinate His Highness! "

The person who imitated the handwriting also reported that Yuan Chengfang asked him to imitate Gu Chuhan's handwriting, "The grassroots didn't know that it was the handwriting of His Royal Highness, but the letter was indeed forced to imitate by the grassroots! Please forgive me! Please! Your Royal Highness, please forgive me!"

"Master Yuan, are you satisfied with this explanation?" Emperor Yan asked coldly.

Gu Chuhan stretched out his hand to interrupt Yuan Chengmo's words, "If you want to say that I can't kill Yuan Chengfang, then answer first. I have a higher status than you. If you assassinate you, will you stretch your necks and wait until you die?"

Even if she is the grandson of the emperor, if she really wants to assassinate them, she won't really wait to die if she doesn't fight back!

But the words on the surface, "The king let the minister die, and the minister has to die!"

"Well! Well said! He has come to assassinate, and that palm uses [-] points of internal energy to hit the Tianling Gai of the palace. If I don't touch the gun, I will die!" Gu Chuhan said, turning his head La Ji sank into the water, "Prince Regent! What is the crime for assassinating the prince?"

Ji Shengchi never participated, watching the two people fight.

The officials under him will stir it up at the right time, hoping that the more chaos the better, then Gu Chuhan won't have the energy and time to investigate and rectify the officials!
Eagle eyes glanced deeply, and Ji Shengchi sneered, "Assassination of the crown prince will be cut at the waist according to the law, and the whole family will be punished."

"The evidence is solid!" Gu Chuhan looked at Yuan Chengmo with raised eyebrows.The Yuan family asked him to come forward to solve this matter, but other capable people were reluctant to come forward. What kind of tricks is this playing?Still know that she has got witnesses and evidence! ?
"This matter has not been investigated yet, and there is no way to judge the crime based on one-sided words!" Yuan sent an official to insist.

"However, it is an iron fact that the emperor's grandson killed a first-rank general in public. Everyone can prove it! You must not justify your crime with life and death! If this precedent exists, Nanyan will surely be in chaos. This is a sign of the country's subjugation! The grandson's character is not good enough to be a heir, please the emperor depose the grandson and make another heir!"

"My Majesty, please depose the grandson of the emperor and establish another prince!"

"Please ask the emperor to depose the emperor's grandson!"

Officials under Ji Shengchi also fished in troubled waters, knelt down and demanded that Gu Chuhan be deposed.

Gu Chuhan glanced at him, took off his hair crown, lifted his clothes and knelt down, "Grandson really did not set a good example and is not worthy of being the crown prince of Nanyan. Please also ask the emperor to depose his grandson as the crown prince! As a punishment!"

Yuan Chengmo's eyes were full of sternness, and he secretly hated Yuan Chengfang for being too conceited and conceited, leaving a mess for him to clean up.Originally, he could have taken this opportunity to bring down Yan Chuhan, as long as he took away her crown prince, she would never be able to stand up again!But now he actually committed this kind of mistake of giving others a handle. Not only did the Yuan family miss the opportunity, but if he didn't handle it well, he might be convicted and be criticized by others!

Now that Gu Chuhan deposed the crown prince by himself, he also admitted the crime of killing Yuan Chengli and was willing to be punished.But she pleaded guilty, and Yuan Chengfang couldn't get rid of the charge of assassinating the crown prince!He must also be punished!
Officials under Ji Shengchi immediately stood up and said, "The emperor's grandson knowing his mistakes can make a big difference. There is a reason for killing Yuan Cheng. Although it is wrong, it is not a felony! However, Yuan Chengfang's assassination of the crown prince is a felony and cannot be forgiven! Please punish the emperor!"

A series of officials cupped their hands together, "The ministers and others seconded the proposal! Please punish the emperor!"

In this way, Yan Chuhan's position as the crown prince was taken away, and the Yuan family was also hit hard.
But as soon as this remark came out, neither Emperor Yan's pure officials nor officials of the Yuan faction disagreed, "This matter has not been clarified yet, and it remains to be discussed!"

Emperor Yan would never dethrone Gu Chuhan, and immediately issued an order, "Think about March behind closed doors! Without my will, you are not allowed to step out of the East Palace!"

All the pure ministers knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" They say that they are thinking behind closed doors, but they are not allowed to step out of the East Palace, which is tantamount to confinement!Although he has not been deposed, how many changes will occur in three months! ?There are still many important events waiting for the emperor grandson!

The next thing Yuan sent officials to see was to punish Yuan Chengfang for his assassination, and some people followed suit to intercede.

Emperor Yan's decree has been made and will not be changed.

Gu Chuhan took the order to thank him, and went straight back to the East Palace to think about his mistakes.

On the other side, the ministers did not leave the court and gathered outside the imperial study to intercede for Gu Chuhan, asking Emperor Yan to forgive Gu Chuhan for his first crime.

Concubine Wan Gui and Yan Feiying also came to intercede.

Emperor Yan summoned his ministers to discuss the matter.But no one could come up with an idea.It is impossible to punish the emperor's grandson!The possibility of punishing the Yuan family is also very small!You can't lose the not-so-secure position of the emperor's grandson for a moment of anger!

After tossing and tossing for a few days, it was decided that the three of them were acting out of passion and duel in private. Yuan Chengli and Yuan Chengfang were dead and no further investigation would be pursued.Tell the world!And legislation strictly prohibits this kind of private fighting!If found, the crime is the same as murder!
Qingquan had already made arrangements, and the news, true or false, was spread by business travelers from all over the place.Gu Chuhan is not good, but the bad thing is that he should not have responded to Yuan Chengli's provocation and agreed to his life and death, but both Yuan Chengli and Yuan Chengfang had the heart to kill the emperor's grandson, and the Yuan family was not the loyal and brave family who defended the country on the surface. Home, clearly a wolf's ambition, with ulterior motives!
After the harvest, the common people had a heart of support for Gu Chuhan, and they cracked down on corrupt officials and rectified the administration of officials, which won a lot of applause among the people.

As soon as this decision was made and the announcement was made, many people voiced their grievances for Gu Chuhan.

However, Gu Chuhan nestled in the East Palace and took a few craftsmen to assemble and test fuel machines, and successfully built trucks, fuel harvesters, seeders, threshers, etc.

The East Palace is still small, so Gu Chuhan drove the truck and made a lot of circles.

"When the merchant ship that went out to sea returns, the silver earned can be used to build roads." Cheng Yi smiled and said.

"It is true that roads must be built! Without roads, there is no way to go! Some products from the mountains cannot be shipped out, and the common people guarding those things are still poor!" Gu Chuhan responded.But she wants to build the chariot as soon as possible. She can't just do development without weapons!
"Three years! With such development, in another three years, Nanyan will be able to take on a new look and become completely rich!" Cheng Yi said solemnly.

Su Jin frowned, with displeasure flashing in his eyes.However, he was very happy to see Gu Chuhan freshly using the newly-made machine, so he didn't express it.

Gu Chuhan didn't know much about it. She wasn't busy with government affairs, so she handed it over to Yan Feiying. With Su Jin in charge, she just wanted to make more money, and make more money!
I quietly rushed to the shipyard at night and checked that the progress was not bad. The Manufacturing Bureau urged to speed up the progress to manufacture the fuel looms and new textile machines.

As the weather got cooler, Yan Junfeng sent her a batch of wool and rabbit fur, as well as clothes, shoes, socks and jewelry made by Gu Raniang.

Gu Chuhan tried it on, and it fit very well. They were all simple and neat styles that she liked. It was not a hindrance to practicing martial arts and doing work. He directly studied the method of weaving woolen fabrics with a few weavers.

This was studied by people before, but it was always unsatisfactory. Now she has recruited a few powerful weavers from Nanyan, and she wants to speed up the progress so that she can weave woolen and cashmere cloth.

The textile machine has been debugged and tested countless times, and finally it was successfully developed before the severe winter came.

Gu Chuhan also sincerely admired the wisdom of the ancients. She didn't know much about it, so she would only offer advice and adjust a machine, but they wove the blended cashmere.

Looking at the thick woolen-like fabric, a blend of wool and cotton, it feels comfortable to the touch and keeps warm just by looking at it.

"Give me a handsome and cool coat first!" Gu Chuhan said with a bright smile on his face.

Su Jin replied with a doting smile, "Okay! I'll do it for you first!"

No need for embroidery, just cutting and handwork, a dozen embroiderers rushed to work overnight to make her and Su Jin, Emperor Yan and Xuanjing, Concubine Wan Gui and Yan Feiying all out, one piece for each person.She also gave one to Empress Yuan in a 'filial piety'.

Although Nanyan is located in the south, it is only cold for a few short days in severe winter, but the air-conditioning on rainy days penetrates directly to the bone. Wearing such a cashmere-blend robe, outer shirt or cloak can only improve the cold protection by a few levels.

Gu Chuhan packed a few pieces and asked the big ghost to send them to Mrs. Gu and Gu Raniang.

When Yan Junfeng heard that blended cashmere was made, he immediately bought all kinds of wool in the north.

He Lian Yue heard about it, and sent a letter directly to Beichen, asking He Lian Yun to help.

"This blended cashmere technique must be in our own hands, and no one can teach it!" Gu Chuhan put down his words.

Pei Zhenjiang personally brought the weavers here. Although he didn't see Gu Chuhan, he did see the technology and finished products of blended cashmere, and he immediately handled the blended cashmere business himself.

After three months of confinement, Gu Chuhan didn't have a single day of idle time, but he didn't have to go out, which saved a lot of trouble, and he was very busy with the new machine.He brought Su Jin's ghost servants and the big ghost back and forth three times to bring back a large amount of wool.

Two blended cashmere looms work day and night.

Hundreds of embroiderers stayed up late to catch up with work.

Thousands of blended cashmere garments and cloaks went north and were transported to Dali Capital and Beichen Capital.

Gu Raniang and Gu Ruoniang took the lead in putting on cashmere jackets and cloaks. They wore a lambskin jacket inside and a cashmere jacket outside, which was neat, beautiful and warm.

Before the Jiuyun Pavilion was put on the shelves, it was sold out, and the orders flew in like snowflakes.

Gu Chuhan quickly commissioned the third new spinning machine and put it into production.

And before the arrival of the new year, the cargo ships that went to sea also returned to Nanyan. This time, they went to the countries of Nanyang more than half faster than in previous years.

She also brought back the materials such as rubber and latex that she requested to exchange.

Jiang Chuang went with the ship himself. After coming to Beijing, he reported the situation of the cargo ship and the situation of the countries in Southeast Asia in detail, "The rubber trees His Highness mentioned have already booked with them the types of rubber trees you mentioned. If we go next year, we can get them Bring back the saplings! We brought some tree seeds this year, let's try to grow them ourselves first!"

Gu Chuhan nodded, "Thank you for your hard work this journey!"

Jiang Chuang didn't bring any valuables this trip, but he brought back some jade and gemstones, but the three boats were filled with things that Gu Chuhan asked him to exchange for.

"Your Highness, you are welcome! It is our honor to serve His Highness and share the country's worries! Besides, His Highness didn't ask us to do white work!" Jiang Chuang laughed.

Gu Chuhan personally picked up the wind and washed the dust, and arranged a banquet to entertain him.

As for those rubbers, they are all useful, industrial conveyor belts, conveyor belts, belts, leak-proof aprons, rubber pipes and most importantly tires.With tires, those cars can be faster, lighter, and less labor-intensive!

Beichen's cargo ship also returned with a full load, but what they wanted were minerals, jade and other special products.

After inquiring about Jiang Chuang's fleet full of rubber and latex, He Lianyun thought about it and wrote to Gu Chuhan directly to inquire.

Gu Chuhan had just been lifted from the foot restraint, and was busy with the New Year's Ancestral Worship Ceremony, when the letter fell into Su Jin's hands, and he replied with four words: No comment!

He Lianyun knew from that tone that the letter was from Su Jin, so he sent a letter to Helian Yue and asked him to go there himself.Now when she is most short of money, she doesn't resell the goods, but brings all those things back, it must be of great use!
Gu Chuhan rubbed his chin, and told He Lianyue directly, "Anyway, you can't grow it, if you want it in the future, you can buy it from Nanyan!"

Helian Yue laughed, "Okay! I'll just go back to Brother Huang!"

When He Lianyun received the letter, he rubbed the cashmere cloak on his body and frowned tightly.
