Your Majesty, I'm Guilty

Now.

The night was getting darker, and it was about time to turn ugly.

The people in the capital have already rested and prepared early, and all this is to give Gu Wenjun a heavy blow in the later imperial examination. Ji Shengyuan has vowed to step on the head of this elegant talent and become famous and wash away his previous humiliation.

He knew that Gu Wenjun was thoughtful.

However, Ji Shengyuan has always been conceited. He was brought up under the influence of aristocratic Confucianism. Ji Shengyuan doesn't believe it. He will lose his knowledge to a family abandoned son who grew up in the countryside!

As for Gu Jin, the legitimate son of the Gu family, who can't compare with Gu Wenjun, it's Gu Jin's own arrogance and stupidity!

Ji Xuanyuan has heard that Gu Jin not only failed in the joint examination, but also was deprived of her qualification for the imperial examination and became a real waste.

It's ridiculous that Gu Jin and Gu Caizi were reduced to this, one of the two wonders of Jiangdong, which used to be famous in the capital.

Such a fool doesn't even deserve the servant chanting yuan in that season.

It was the fool who lost his sense of propriety and failed his plan. On the contrary, Gu Wenjun made a big fool of him. Ji Xuanyuan had already hated Gu Jin.

Now the Gu family pleads for Gu Jin everywhere, and no one answers.

Ji Xuanyuan despised her so much that she wanted Gu Jin to die so as to wipe out the scandal.

The abacus in his heart crackled, but he was surprised by Lord Ji's sentence.

"Are you still thinking about the palace exam?"

Lord Ji Peiji sneered: "today's discussion, your royal aunt, that is, the empress dowager, died of a sudden illness!"

"What?"

Ji Xuanyuan was so surprised that he stared and opened his mouth. He couldn't return to God for a long time and lost his childe's manners.

But now, even if Ji Pei used to be strict with his son, he won't care about this gaffe.

Ji Pei said, "don't say that the imperial examination will be postponed because of the national funeral. Even the black hat on your father's head may not be guaranteed!"

Adult Ji's eyes were full of haze and his voice was cold.

"This... How is this possible?" his father said so, and Ji Shengyuan was even more confused.

Ji Xuanyuan first wondered how the Empress Dowager's condition suddenly deteriorated to this point. Then his thoughts were immediately captured by Ji Xuanyuan's "loss of official position".

Compared with the Empress Dowager's aunt, the interests of the Ji family are more important.

Ji Xuanyuan is not that kind of ignorant and incompetent childe. He quickly reacted.

After Ji Pei finished what happened in the imperial court, Ji chanted:

"Dad, although Aunt Huang is the backer of our Ji family, it's true.

But over the years, you have become a minister, and your sister has also become a imperial concubine in the palace. We have already consolidated our power... Why is the downfall so serious? "

"Who do you think made me the Minister of household, and who made your sister Ji Qingqing the imperial concubine?" Ji Pei asked.

Ji Xuanyuan was stunned and hesitated to answer.

"... is the Empress Dowager's aunt."

"Yes. You remember, all this is the meaning of the empress dowager, not her majesty!" Ji Pei directly pointed it out to his son, "but the Empress Dowager is dead. There is only her majesty and no empress dowager in the imperial court!"

In the past, he could let Ji Xuanyuan study and make friends with the aristocratic family childe first, and then pass the imperial examination and become an official in the DPRK step by step.

But now the form has changed dramatically, and the imperial court is changing.

Ji Pei must push Ji Xuanyuan to a more cruel officialdom and let Ji Xuanyuan learn politics.

"But --"

"Nothing but."

Ji Shuoyuan's expression froze.

However, Ji Pei's face is even more ugly than Ji Xuanyuan. He can climb to this position and is extremely intelligent and talented. Of course, Ji Xuanyuan has his own abilities and means and can afford high-ranking officials.

But Ji Pei is not stupid enough to see the situation clearly.

He knew that empress dowager Ji and the Ji family were disgusted by the emperor.

"If your majesty really liked the imperial concubine, your sister would have given birth to a dragon!"

And the truth is.

The emperor not only alienated the three palaces and six courtyards, but also sent concubine Ji to confinement more than once.

Even the harem is so stiff that moving forward will only be worse.

Your majesty doesn't like imperial concubine Ji, let alone Lord Ji!

Ji Pei certainly knew how many obstacles he had given the little emperor over the years. He thought he could hold Xiao Yunyu down. Until today, the emperor's majesty can hardly bear it, and there is no need to bear it any more.

Especially today's confrontation.

Xiao Yunyu grew so fast that Ji Pei was vaguely shocked.

He originally wanted to continue to clamp down on Xiao Yunyu with the help of King Jing. However——

No matter what the truth is, the result is that the emperor won and Jing Wang lost. Now, King Jing bears the cause and effect of killing empress dowager Ji, and it is difficult to protect himself, let alone protect Ji's family!

"Dad!"

Ji Shengyuan was already flustered. He could only think: "why don't we send medicine to the palace and help my sister?"

Ji Pei sank his eyes and scraped with hatred.

"Do you think your father didn't die fast enough when you put your hand into the palace at this time?" Lord Ji shook his head and said, "besides, the emperor's heart is cold today. This method is useless to him."

Unless you can conceive a dragon fetus——

But it's too late, and pregnant may not be born, and the risk is too great.

"What should I do?" Ji Shengyuan panicked completely.

It has always been Ji chant's distant envoy to others to calculate profits, but all this is because he is the legitimate son of the Ji family, the nephew of the Empress Dowager and the brother of the imperial concubine.

He never had a day when he would lose such a noble status.

Ji Pei scolded, "what's the panic! Your father hasn't fallen yet!"

"Dad told you this because he wanted you to understand the situation and make plans, not to see your incompetence!" Lord Ji scolded.

Ji Shuoyuan bit his teeth and said, "I don't understand. Please tell my father clearly."

Seeing Ji Shengyuan cheer up a little, Ji continued.

"The little emperor is not monolithic, but also has weaknesses..." he slowly said a name. "Gu Wenjun."

Gu Wenjun again!

Ji Shengyuan is in a time of intense emotional ups and downs. Hearing this name, he is even more uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to Gu Wenjun. Today, he also tried to eliminate Gu Wenjun for the first time and didn't let the Gu boy get involved.

It is conceivable that Gu Wenjun is his Majesty's man! "

"Dad means

Your majesty has planned to appoint Gu Wenjun as the number one scholar? "

Ji Shengyuan's eyes are red and his gums are about to bite.

"It's not necessarily that. The imperial examination is very important. The emperor won't mess around in front of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty." Ji Pei pondered for a while and said, "but Gu Wenjun must be his Majesty's important minister in the future."

He changed his mind.

"This man, we must win over."

"Dad!" Ji Shengyuan shouted reluctantly, very angry, "Gu Wenjun is my opponent!"

Ji Pei pressed his shoulder. "Don't worry, we should not only win over Gu Wenjun, but also hold the handle of this man, so that we can fully grasp it.

Since the Gu family doesn't want Gu Wenjun, it's up to our Ji family to take it. "

"My daughter has been sent to the palace, but the Empress Dowager's daughter, Princess Yun Yi, is still there. It happens that Yun Yi is also very interested in Gu Wenjun. She wants a son-in-law, and I will help her.

After that.

Then I'll ask you to abolish the old rule that the son-in-law can't be an official, change your Majesty's view of the Ji family, and make your majesty satisfied... "

Ji Pei's previous statement on this matter was vague.

But now, he wants to personally promote the marriage between Xiao Yunyi and Gu Wenjun, so as to ease the relationship with his majesty.

But Ji Xuanyuan is still angry and dissatisfied.

In his opinion, it still gives Gu Wenjun a great bargain.

Lord Ji: "OK, take care of your thoughts. This moment is another moment. You don't want to meddle in any trouble in the middle.

Gu Wenjun became a son-in-law. Even if his majesty valued him again, he would not be able to take part in the imperial examination this year. This will only benefit you - "

Then Ji Pei closed his fingers and broke Ji Shengyuan's shoulder bones with great strength.

"Yuan'er, you must be the number one in this year's new subject. You have no second choice!"

Ji Shuyuan was shocked.

"But... The Empress Dowager's funeral is imminent. How can you propose marriage and talk about marriage?"

Ji Pei finally smiled, but his smile was cold.

"What if Gu Wenjun's marriage was decided before the funeral?" said Lord Ji.

"It's Jiangdong Gu's family, Gu Changli, Mr. Gu and his wife, Princess Qingle, who personally negotiated his marriage. Three books and six appointments, parents' words and matchmaker's orders can't be disputed!"
