Vol 2 Chapter 1135: Emperor's Reverse Scale

The Gu's girl formed a group to give the head of Princess Ruyang and won the empress's praise.
She asked Ruyang to host a banquet in the palace and entertained Gu's girl alone as a thank you.
Ruyang readily agreed.
The Gu girls were very surprised and excited when they received the invitation.
Gu Rui's wife Zhou, because the children are of marriageable age, returned to the capital from the northwest with the children at the end of last year.
The children received an invitation to enter the palace, and she was happy for the children.
At the same time, there are still some worries in my heart.
She found Pei Man.
"I am not familiar with the Empress Empress. I would like to ask my younger siblings what the Empress Empress has to avoid? I am worried that the children will go into the palace, saying the wrong thing and doing something wrong, and make the Empress unhappy.
Pei Man told her, "If you want to talk about the taboos of the empress, she doesn't like the little girl who is crying, so count it!"
"In this way, the empress loves girls who are generous and hearty."
"Exactly! The Queen Mother said before that although the girl's family is inherently weak, it does not mean that she should cry at all times and on any occasion. Crying too much, miserable!"
Zhou nodded, "It's inevitable that a little girl will cry when she encounters troubles. But she can't cry at every turn. Crying too much is indeed annoying."
If you have to mention something, Zhou's heart will have confidence.
She told the girls in the Hou Mansion that she must abide by the rules when she enters the palace to meet the empress, not to talk nonsense, and not to be smart and self-assertive.
All the palace people in the palace are well-trained, and there is only one queen in the harem, so there is no need to worry about who the palace people will favor or calculate.
Everything is done according to the rules, although it is not brilliant, but it is certainly not wrong.
On the day of the banquet, the Gu’s girls dressed up and rode a carriage to the palace.
Ruyang came forward to receive.
The girls were relieved when the empress was not there.
They are about the same size as Ruyang, and they get along at ease.
Yu Huayuan's twittering is full of girls talking and laughing.
After halfway through the banquet, Gu Jiu appeared in the Royal Garden.
"See Empress Empress, Empress is fortune and peace."
"No gift! All raised their heads to let the palace take a look."
The Gu family is also a big family.
Hou's family, uncle's family, Gu's family, and Chengping Bo's family...
With so many girls in the mansion together, count them, there are also 20 or 30 people.
If all the girls under the age of ten are present, there will probably be number 40 or 50.
Some girls look familiar, and may have been to the palace with the elders in the family before.
Some girls looked obviously face to face, presumably it was the first time to enter the palace.
"The palace doesn't recognize who is whose family, so I will introduce it myself."
In the process of self-introduction, you can generally see whether the girls can be generous and decent in front of others.
Such an occasion naturally started with a girl from Chengping Mansion.
They and the empress are the closest in blood.
The two girls from Chengping Bo's House had never been in the palace less before.
I gave a self-introduction and performed very well.
Gu Jiu applauded with a smile.
Some of the girls behind have outstanding performances, and some have poor performances.
Individual girls may be too nervous to say a complete word. Because of his poor performance, he even cried on the spot.
There are also pinch tips to be strong.
The little girl's careful thoughts were almost written directly on her face, without hiding in Gu Jiu's eyes.
As for the Gu family, the rules and education of the girls are generally good.
Individuals who are wild, may need to collect and settle down.
The Gu family cannot have a second Gu Yue.
After reading the self-introductions of the girls, Gu Jiu said: "They are all very good! Eat and drink well today, don't be restrained! Your palace is here, you are uncomfortable. This palace will not delay your eating, drinking and having fun."
After speaking, she got up and left.
"Send the Queen Empress!"
...
During lunch, Liu Zhao ran to Chang'an Palace for dinner.
He was very curious, "You summoned Gu's girl to the palace, do you want to protect the media?"
Gu Jiu chuckled, "My palace has no interest in media-straining. I have said that this banquet is to express my gratitude to them for speaking up for Ruyang. It is also an expression of attitude. The girls in this palace can criticize her except for the palace. People who dare to criticize Ruyang will not be polite."
"Protect the calf!" Liu Zhao looked cheerful!
Gu Jiu said, "I learned from you."
Liu Zhao smiled and said: "A group of little girls, it is not convenient for me to come forward. You are a queen, and it is appropriate for you to come forward. It is only a few years since Ruyang left Beijing, and a group of little girls with broken mouths have forgotten Ruyang's achievements back then. . Annoyed Ruyang, beware that Ruyang used a whip to slap people when he was angry."
Speaking of back then, Ruyang was also famous.
The whip was used to slap people more than once, and the elder Anyang princess was also slapped, causing an uproar in the court.
When Ruyang left Beijing, these little girls didn't have a long memory, and they even arranged her gossip at the banquet.
Ruyang just told them to get out, which was considered polite.
Liu Zhao asked again: "You really have no plan to match up these little girls to the palace?"
"Which one of your eyes sees me as a matchmaker?"
"This is not in line with your usual style! Even if you want to thank these little girls for speaking up for Ruyang, you can let Ruyang have a banquet in the princess mansion, there is no need to summon to the palace."
Gu Jiu let out a light cough, "The third oldest brother Li, seems to be a girl from the Gu family?"
"Really? Why didn't I hear any wind, which girl did he fancy?"
"I'm not sure, which one he fancyed."
Gu Jiu was very worried.
Liu Zhao was suspicious, "You don't seem to want the third child to marry Gu's girl?"
What can Gu Jiu say?
You can't tell Liu Zhao directly that a child born to a close relative has a high chance of becoming a mentally retarded child.
She was about to say, there will be a hundred, ten thousand why.
Gu Jiu didn't want to answer so many why.
If Liu Li is fond of the girl from the Hou Mansion, there is no problem in blood.
I am most afraid that he would like the child of his elder brother Gu Ling.
Blood relationship is too close, absolutely impossible!
You must oppose anything you say.
Gu Jiu shook his head and said to Liu Zhao: "It's not that he doesn't agree with him to marry a girl from the Gu family. The premise is that it depends on whose child he is in the picture."
"The eldest brother's daughter, she's very suitable for the third child in age."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Big Brother's children can't do it."
Anyone can, but it can't be the child of elder brother Gu Ling.
"You really don't want to be in-laws with your uncle?"
"Yes, I don't want to at all." Gu Jiu made a loud voice.
Liu Zhao nodded, his expression clear, "I understand."
What do you understand?
"The eldest brother is already a cousin, and he has made great military exploits. There are still people who say sourly that everything he got today was swayed by his cousin. If the third child married his daughter, he would have sat on the rumors of his drunk . It’s not necessarily a good thing for the elder brother and his children’s future."
Liu Zhao analyzed it with reason and evidence, as if he really grasped the truth.
Gu Jiu smiled without saying a word.
She didn't explain either.
This is a reasonable misunderstanding.
Liu Zhao said again: "It's not convenient for you to come out and talk to the youngest, I'll talk to him. Stinky boy, silently, you have already targeted someone else's girl."
He is an activist and he does what he says.
He immediately ordered Liu Li into the palace to have a profound conversation between father and son.
Gu Jiu didn't stop him, he was willing to worry, so he let him go.
...
After the palace banquet was over, there were no waves, and soon everyone forgot about it.
Princess Ruyang is anxious to go to sea and wants to have the wedding soon.
Someone wrote an article in the newspaper and ridiculed that the emperor’s daughters were also worried about getting married.
Covered all the limelight at once.
The person who wrote the article came from a remote area and settled down in Beijing for the first time. However, he was constrained by someone to write a signed article, which was published.
Obviously he was taken advantage of.
But he didn't understand the situation, so he took the initiative to comment on the royal family members. In his own words, he was a passionate person who was easily incited by others, and he did not have a firm stand to seek fame and wealth.
The article in the newspaper was seen by Emperor Liu Zhao.
Furious!
The little girls commented on Ruyang, and he was inconvenient to come forward.
But a scholar, huh, dared to criticize my daughter, saying that the emperor’s daughter was also worried about marrying, and she published it in the newspapers, making Ruyang a laughingstock. This thing must not be tolerated.
The Newspaper Department was dispatched, and the newspaper office was closed first.
When will it be unblocked?
It depends on the attitude of the palace.
Then Jin Wuwei dispatched and arrested the scholar who wrote the article.
After the first interrogation, a series of people were brought out, and even high-ranking officials were involved.
This is terrible!
Liu Zhao lost his temper in front of courtiers in the early morning, "You think that I am a faint emperor, and there is nothing to do with me in the court hall. You use my girl to openly violate her reputation. Do you think I can't find out? I tell you, no matter who is involved, one is counted as one, and I will never tolerate it. I dare to touch my girl and let him see blood."
This is not just a matter of an article.
The person behind this is obviously taking Ruyang out to test and test the attitude of the palace.
If the emperor Liu Zhao is weaker, then this group will use the prince to make a fuss and provoke the prince to fight.
The ultimate goal is to set off a new controversy.
When there is a fight, only the opportunity to fish in the water can be redistributed.
The imperial family and the harmony between the three princes obviously did not conform to the interests of the rich family and the courtiers.
Only when the princes fight can they show their ability.
They are all masters of conspiracy to seize the protagonist, as long as they find the weakness in the palace, a new battle will start.
Ruyang is the beginning of this battle.
Unexpectedly, it was just a ridiculous article that Emperor Liu Zhao would react so much.
The Newspaper Department’s dispatch is nothing.
Jin Wuwei was dispatched and arrested.
It would be a fuss.
"I just want to make a big fuss! You scold me, if I don’t do a few things that he did, wouldn’t I be sorry to call him? I warn you, whoever dares to touch my children and hit the prince and princess. Kill his family."
One is counted as one, and all those involved in it should pay close attention to Jinwuwei.
If the exile is exiled, it will either be pulled outside the city to dig ditches.
The population of the capital is increasing day by day, and the drainage pressure is getting more severe.
The construction of underground drainage ditches and drainage ditches must be kept up and updated.
This is a huge project and requires a lot of cool effort.
Recently, Jin Wuwei's imprisonment was empty.
The people in the prison all pulled out and went to the coolies.
Whether it is a high-ranking official, a son of Guijie, or a woman and a family, as long as they enter the Jinwuwei, they can't escape the fate of digging ditches.
To take advantage of the summer flood season to dig more than a hundred li ditch, it must be paved with stone bricks and slabs.
A huge project requires huge manpower.
If the construction period cannot be completed on time, in the summer flood season, both inside and outside the city will have to be flooded with a foot of water.
Fortunately, the roads in the capital have been changed to concrete roads.
I think when the capital was paving roads with yellow mud, when the flood season arrived, the city was muddy.
Don't mention that scene!
You need to buy three or five more pairs of straw sandals.
When the emperor Liu Zhao got angry, the officialdom would shake.
People were arrested.
Some careerists hiding behind the scenes also temporarily stopped.
"It seems that your majesty has made up his mind to maintain the orthodoxy of King Qi."
"But your majesty did not make Qi the king the prince!"
"It doesn't matter whether you can establish a prince or not. I recently received a news that the first emperor made a decree before he died. The content of the decree is to make his Royal Highness Prince Qi the emperor grandson?"
"Really? Where did this news come from? Is it reliable?"
"The news came from the palace."
"The news from the palace? Is it the news that your majesty deliberately released, just to confuse everyone?"
"possible!"
"Then you think the will of the grandson of the emperor, is it true?"
"It doesn't matter if it's true or false! It has been passed down for so many years and it is said to be false, but has it been half affected? No matter whether it is true or not, the national jade seal is the national jade seal. Who dares to stand up and say that the national jade seal is false? People dare! No one openly questioned him, he is real."
"What you mean is that regardless of whether the rumors of the emperor grandson are true or not, it represents the attitude of your majesty. He favors King Qi and does not allow anyone to attack His Royal Highness from nothing."
"Exactly!"
"How is that good?"
"His Royal Highness King Qi should return to Beijing! As long as he returns to the capital, he won't worry about not being able to grasp his handle. There are so many people around him, there are always people who have weaknesses."
