Chapter 1995 Nothing Happened
1995
"That's right, Qing'er, is it at your house?" Su Yun's eyes were full of eagerness.
Ye Fan pretended to be puzzled, "Prince, there is someone named Qing'er, but what does she have to do with you?"
Su Yun let out a long sigh, "You don't know, Qing'er's real name is Gu Qing, she is the former prime minister, academician of Sacred Emperor's Academy, my mentor, Gu Shenyi's daughter...and my childhood sweetheart."
"What!?" Su Qingxue was stunned, "She is Prime Minister Gu's daughter!?"
Ye Fan frowned and said, "Princess, who is Gu Shenyi...?"
Su Qingxue showed a trace of fear in her eyes, and said: "The matter of Prime Minister Gu is a bit complicated. Although I have heard a lot about it myself, the crown prince is definitely not clear about it. Let the crown prince talk about it..."
Su Yun nodded and said: "Gu Shenyi is the head of the Gu family, a well-known scholarly family. Although the Gu family is a small family among the chosen ones, they have always produced talented people.
Father Emperor has always aimed to become a generation of Ming emperors who ruled by culture and martial arts, so he paid great attention to Prime Minister Gu who was good at governing the country with literati.
For example, many of the technologies of the Chu State Division back then were also promoted by Prime Minister Gu, who overcame public opinion and assisted them, and benefited many people in the Dazheng.
It's just that the higher the merits of Prime Minister Gu, the stronger the power of the civil servants, and naturally he was jealous and dissatisfied by the military officials.
Ten years ago, a group of aristocratic officials headed by uncle Luo Beiwang impeached Prime Minister Gu, accusing him of taking bribes.
After the shadow guard conducted an investigation, he found that there were indeed some properties of unknown origin, all of which were held under the name of the Gu family.
At that time, there were still a few civil servants who voluntarily admitted that they bought official positions from Prime Minister Gu, and also said that when they were inspecting some cities, they offered beauties and so on...
At that time, the father was furious, and directly sent all of Gu's family to the barbaric wilderness. They were destined to live and die, and they would never be able to return to the great campaign.
Until five years ago, a few of Prime Minister Gu's students reversed the case for him, and found that the case back then was full of doubts, and many witnesses disappeared strangely, so they requested a retrial.
At that time, it happened to be the 150th birthday of the Supreme Emperor's grandfather, and the world pardoned him. His father, Huang Nian, had contributed a lot to Gu Cheng's relative expedition, and directly pardoned the major crimes of Gu's family, but he was reduced to a commoner. "
Hearing this, Ye Fan probably already has a bottom line in his heart...
He couldn't believe that Emperor Ming De was so stupid that he couldn't see such a clumsy slander.
To put it bluntly, it's just the art of the emperor, checks and balances.
As soon as Gu Shenyi's civil servants were too powerful, he asked Luo Beiwang, a group of nobles, to suppress him.
Find a reason, after cleaning up Gu Shenyi, show benevolence and righteousness in a few years and reduce the punishment.
Ye Fan has seen this method a lot in ancient history.
Gu Shenyi should have had a bright future at the time, but he didn't retreat bravely, so he can only say that he was careless, and he can't completely blame Emperor Ming De for being ruthless.
Whoever becomes the emperor doesn't want to see the power of the officials under him seriously tilted.
"The king and Qing'er have known each other since they were young, and even once wanted to marry her as the crown prince when they were adults... But I didn't expect it, God's will tricks people.
However, since my father pardoned the Gu family five years ago, the king has been sending people to pay attention to the news from the wilderness, looking for the whereabouts of the Gu family.
It was only later that I found out that my mentor had long since died of illness in a wild place, and Qing'er was also missing...
I thought that I would never see Qing'er again in this life, but I expected that a few days ago, during the Oiran Competition, this king saw the photo of the Oiran from the Internet, and it turned out to be Qing'er! ! "
Speaking of this, the excitement in Su Yun's eyes was beyond words.
Ye Fan smiled understandingly, but he scolded his mother in his heart...
This Ye Weiyang's plan is to marry the prince, but she is worried about Gu Qing's existence, so she doesn't want the prince to notice Gu Qing.
Damn it, why didn't Ye Weiyang make it clear earlier! ? Is it just for face! ?
If I said earlier that this Gu Qing was the prince's childhood sweetheart, he would definitely be more vigilant, he wouldn't step into this muddy water if he was killed!
If Gu Qing Huakui was not selected, the crown prince would not have noticed this woman, and today's events would not have happened.
The look of fear in Su Qingxue's eyes obviously explained this problem...
If Ye Fan really has something to do with Gu Qing... Can Su Yun really swallow this breath?
No wonder, this Gu Qing has been to the wilderness, no wonder, she is mysterious... It is estimated that this woman is full of hatred for the Dazheng royal family, and secretly plans to take revenge.
"Prince..." After collecting her thoughts, Su Qingxue said, "I admire the prince's deep affection, but now Qing'er came out of Caiyunfang after all...
Even if you are no longer a criminal, but the crown prince and her have a huge disparity in status, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the two of you to have any results."
"Qingxue, this king naturally knows that it is temporarily impossible to bring Qing'er back to the palace, but one day, when this king inherits the throne, it will be so difficult to bring Qing'er back to me?" Su Yun said expectantly. .
Ye Fan squinted his eyes, and Su Qingxue beside him also had complicated eyes.
If such words reach Emperor Ming De's ears, it is estimated that the crown prince has come to an end...
Sure enough, Su Yun's expression was a little flustered, and he quickly smiled and said: "Of course, this king is still far from father, and it will take time and hard work to win father's approval.
But before that, I would like to invite the two of you to take care of Qing'er for me... I don't want her to suffer any grievances.
After all, we are a family, with such a small request, Qingxue and the consort should be able to satisfy this king, right? "
"On this point, the crown prince can rest assured that since Qing'er is a member of the Hou family, naturally no one will bully her, but... it is probably impossible to serve her like a young lady," Su Qingxue said .
"Of course this king understands that she is a maid now... What this king means is that as long as you don't go too far...it will be fine." Su Yun looked at Ye Fan intentionally or unintentionally.
Ye Fan smiled, "Prince, don't worry, Qing'er is fine."
Su Yun let out a long sigh of relief, "That's good... that's good..."
After explaining some more things, Su Yun took out a letter and handed it to Su Qingxue.
"Qingxue, please give this letter to Qing'er, and say that the king wants to see her... Please keep the matter of today a secret for the king."
Su Qingxue and Ye Fan looked at each other, feeling a little helpless, this crown prince probably wanted Gu Qing before he was enthroned...
After sending Su Yun away, Ye Fan and Su Qingxue returned to the backyard.
"Xiaoxue, is there an eyeliner in our mansion?" Ye Fan muttered.
"It's natural, otherwise the crown prince wouldn't be so coincidental. There was something wrong last night and he came this morning..." Su Qingxue looked thoughtful, and said, "Fortunately, husband, you are a rare good man in this world." Man, otherwise... it will be troublesome."
Ye Fan smiled sarcastically, but felt depressed in his heart... This time, he really had to be more polite to Gu Qing.
The point is, Ye Weiyang might really want to regard him as an enemy, even if she is purely interested in the position of the crown princess, but the prince is not interested in her, probably with Ye Weiyang's self-esteem, she will not be able to bear it.
