Gu Chengyu was shocked when he heard this, "What? No way. ”

He sat up from the blanket, his face slightly gloomy, his eyes shining brightly.

The teacher was upright and upright, saying that the only guilty thing he did in his life was to blackmail himself as a teacher and let him marry Yao Mengxian.

How can a teacher be such a person and how could he do such a thing?

It was because of his marriage to Yao Mengxian that the teacher was still guilty of himself, how could such a person be in the company of traitors and thieves like Xia Qing?

Gu Chengyu never believed it, he didn't believe it!

Xue Miao was surprised, he didn't understand why Gu Chengyu was suddenly so excited.

He has been away from power for many years, and his days in the river village have been dull and closed for too long, where can he still know the movements of the court?

How did he know that Gu Chengyu was actually Liang Zhirui's little disciple?

Even Ming Mo and Ming Yan were surprised, they looked at each other, and they both saw the incredible in each other's eyes.

Xia Shoufu and Master Liang have never dealt with each other, how can they be embarrassed together?

Gu Chengyu's face was calm, and he said in a cold tone: "Say it!" Explain the events of the year. ”

Xue Miao saw that Gu Chengyu's face was ugly, which was completely different from his previous casual attitude, as if he was suppressing the tumbling emotions in his heart.

knew what Gu Chengyu said, but he couldn't refuse. Xue Miao no longer hesitated.

"In the nineteenth year of Emperor Huiming, Xia Qing was still the secretary of the Criminal Department. One day, he suddenly impeached his cousin, saying that his cousin collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and colluded with foreign countries. At the same time, many officials came forward to testify, including He Yaoshen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Liang Zhirui, the former secretary of the Ministry of Households. That Liang Zhirui heard that he was now a minister, but he had already paid homage to the cabinet before he became a minister. ”

Gu Chengyu pursed his lips tightly, and his hands behind his back trembled slightly. didn't interrupt Xue Miao's words, he wanted to hear what Xue Miao would say next.

"Humph! deserves it, that Liang Zhirui was so early, it can't be said that he was a dog bite dog with Na Xia Qing, and in the end, he missed a move and was dismissed from his official position. ”

Xue Miao snorted coldly and sneered.

"Presumptuous!" Hearing this, Mingmo pointed at Xue Miao and shouted.

Liang Zhirui is an adult's teacher, how can this old man be so slandered?

A lot of anger had already appeared on Gu Chengyu's face, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "Insulting the imperial court officials, even if you have nine heads, it's not enough to cut off, pay attention to your words." ”

Since Xue Miao didn't know that Liang Zhirui was his teacher, it was better for him not to leak it first. Otherwise, the old man would not speak again.

After all, the disciple who he thought he was an enemy was in front of him, how could Xue Miao mention the incident of the year again?

And he never believes that the teacher is such a person, only by knowing what happened back then and investigating it can he return the teacher's innocence.

"Yes!" Although Xue Miao was not convinced, she was unwilling to entangle with Gu Chengyu on this.

After all, Gu Chengyu is an official of the imperial court, and it is possible to hear him scolding those officials for being dogs, and he can't listen to them.

On the same day, Xia Qing took out human and physical evidence, and the emperor was furious, and immediately ordered someone to arrest his cousin in Dali Temple. The rest is gone. A large number of letters of collaborators were found from Xue's mansion, each of which had a cousin's private seal on it. planting spies in other houses; bribe the emperor's inner servants; accepting bribes; conniving at the clansmen to enclose land and seize fertile land; The children of the clan are arrogant and domineering, robbing the people's daughters; put money in the seal and force the good to become a prostitute; It also sends beauties and treasures to win people's hearts. All kinds of crimes came one after another, and my cousin became a heinous traitor. ”

The more Xue Miao spoke, the more angry she became, and some of the charges were false.

As for planting spies in other officials' mansions and bribing the emperor's inner servants, these are things that high-ranking officials will do.

In order to find out the movements of various mansions, in order to speculate on the emperor's thoughts, which official does not want to do this?

Xue Haozhen was the first assistant at that time, and his power was monstrous, and these practices were really commonplace.

Gu Chengyu naturally understands the truth, as an official in the court, these practices are commonplace, and he has also placed secret agents in other officials' mansions.

"Maybe your cousin is like Xia Shoufu's impeachment, a traitor who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country?"

Gu Chengyu was unhappy that Xue Miao had slandered his teacher before, so he sneered.

Although he was a little curious about Xue Haozhen and a little admired, he couldn't tolerate Xue Miao insulting his teacher like this.

In the game of officialdom, there are losses and wins. If you lose, you can only say that your skills are not as good as others, even if you are plotted by others?

Although Gu Chengyu also hoped that his teacher would be a righteous person, if the teacher really did something wrong, it would be impossible for him to completely stand on the side of the Xue family.

What happened to the Xue family is indeed suffocating and regrettable, but that is all in the past.

Even if the teacher did something wrong, can Gu Chengyu really overturn the matter and make the teacher responsible for the mistakes he made?

No! He doesn't know! Maybe he won't! It doesn't matter if he's selfish, or if his three views are not correct!

That's a teacher who treats him like a parent, who can bear to send a teacher who really loves him to a dead end?

"No, I know my cousin, he would never have done that. Even if the other charges were true, the charge of collusion with Gentiles would never be possible. I've been working for my cousin, and he trusts me so much that he has a lot of secret things to do with me. The Dayan Dynasty colluded with foreign countries, but there were people, but they were by no means cousins. Before that, he was already collecting incriminating evidence, and he had told me that it would not be long before he would be able to present the incriminating evidence to the emperor's royal case. My cousin hated those who colluded with foreigners and collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. ”

Xue Miao had a sad expression on his face, "The founding emperor Emperor Jiaren had the grace of knowing his cousin back then, and my cousin once swore that if a scholar dies as a confidant, he should be the liver and brain of the Dayan Dynasty." Before Emperor Jiaren died, his cousin also made a promise in front of his dragon couch that he would never betray the Zhao family in this life. ”

"I didn't expect Emperor Jiaren to have only been dead for more than ten years, and my cousin was slandered and ended up like this."

Xue Miao sighed deeply and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

"You know very well what happened when the first emperor died. Why, you weren't there? ”

Gu Chengyu's tone was not good, could it be that Xue Haozhen came back and said this to his cousin?

"I was really there at the time, when the first emperor died, and my cousin was taking refuge in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. My cousin has always been too weak to ride a horse, and it is still the palace where I rode him on horseback. The road was bumpy, and my cousin's body was even more uncomfortable, so I had to follow and help. At that time, there was some chaos in the palace because of the death of the first emperor, and I was also followed in. ”

If it were business as usual, it would be absolutely impossible. Officials should be summoned to the palace, and they must not bring an entourage with them.

However, when the first emperor died, the current emperor's sixth brother, King Qin, was rebelling and seeking to seize the throne.

At that time, King Qin had already brought soldiers and horses into the palace, and there was chaos in the palace. Now that the emperor and King Qin are in close contact, who can still manage these little things?

"You said that Xue Haozhen had found the evidence of the crime at that time, where is the evidence of the crime? And who are the ones who collude with the Gentiles? ”
