Chapter 156: The sight of the stabbing man cannot be hidden
"Your Majesty, when Emperor Gaozu founded the country, he issued an order that those who committed righteous separation and those whose husbands and wives were not in harmony could divorce amicably. Although Lord Gu is the son of the Marquis of Yong'an, if the emperor breaks the law, he is the same as a commoner. Your Majesty cannot ignore the law, and I believe Lord Gu is the same."
The emperor has to follow the law. Why don't you, Gu Changqing, divorce? Is it because you are too shameless?
Every word of Xie Huaiguang's voice was full of pearls, and he really didn't allow anyone to have any chance to refute.
Zhao Jingcheng nodded slightly, and felt that Xie Huaiguang was full of shining points.
"Marquis Yong'an, do you have anything to say?"
The emperor is indeed the emperor. In the end, he still has to ask the wishes of the person concerned. Of course, Gu Changqing no longer has a say here, so it is natural to just ask the old marquis.
Gu Zhao's mouth was full of bitterness.
After all, fraternal estrangement is a bit too much, but what Gu Changqing did was too much for me as a grandfather, let alone for a mother.
Su Jin's request for a divorce is not excessive.
"Your Majesty, if possible, I still hope that the family can be reunited. However, the things that the rebellious son did have already made the eldest lady feel hopeless. I just want to say that I want to make amends. At least, at least these three children are the roots of the Marquis's mansion."
Su Jin listened quietly.
Although the divorce was proposed under the pretext of the three children, she knew from the beginning to the end that she could not take the three children away with her.
Not to mention the excellence of Gu Zixuan and Gu Zilu, even if they were like before, one a playboy and the other an unknown, they were still the legitimate sons of the Marquis' Mansion and no one could take them away.
Just as Gu Zhao said, this is the root of the Marquis' Mansion and it cannot be touched.
Zhao Jingcheng sighed: "Su Jin, if you can't take the child with you, will you still divorce?"
If Su Jin passed away, would the children still suffer?
"emperor!"
Yin Zhengnan knelt down again, once again ignoring his mother's dagger-like gaze.
"I wish to marry Gu Suiyu, the fourth daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. I hope the Emperor will do me the honor of acting as a matchmaker."
Zhao Yingqiao: !!!!!!
The jade cup in her hand was cracked by her.
This rebellious son is crying out!
The sight of a man who wanted to kill her could not be hidden. The eldest princess now wished she could rush over and slap her son twice, then shove the man into her sleeves and take him back to the palace.
This thing is really infuriating!
However, Yin Zhengnan doesn't care about these.
Isn't it that the lady of the Marquis's Mansion didn't dare to divorce because she was concerned about her children? Then he would marry Sui Yu and let the lady rest assured. Anyway, he could treat Sui Yu wholeheartedly and would never let her suffer any grievances.
As for Gu Zixuan and Gu Zilu, brother Zixuan has already passed the imperial examination and won the third place in the imperial examination. The Marquis' Mansion will only do its best to support this grandson and will never interfere.
As for Gu Zilu, it was even easier. The fifth brother sent Gu Ziyun away and also regained his reputation. All the poems and articles written by Gu Ziyun before became his. Now he showed up in front of the emperor again, claiming that he had won the top six places in the imperial examination, and was also the first in the county and prefecture. With such talent and reputation, the Marquis' Mansion would not treat him unfairly.
So in the final analysis, the one who is most worried is Sui Yu.
Thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Su Jin and smiled: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, Zhengnan will never take a concubine in his life, he only wants Suiyu."
"Yin Zhengnan!"
Zhao Yingqiao finally couldn't help it: "Don't break the rules in front of the emperor!!"
mother in law?
The situation hasn't even started yet, is that what you should call me, bastard!
At this point, it seems that everything can be solved.
The old marquis Gu Zhao sighed helplessly.
He also understood that these children were helping Su Jin.
Gu Zixuan, Gu Suiyu, Gu Zilu, and this Yin Zhengnan.
As for what roles Xie Huaiguang and Prince Rui played, he couldn't guess, but he always had a vague feeling that these two people were also helping Su Jin.
When did her daughter-in-law become so capable? And when did she meet these people? How did she establish such a relationship with them that they could help her so much?
Gu Zhao couldn't figure it out, but he knew that Su Jin was the daughter of the Hexi Su family. If he wanted to use his power to pressure her, he had to also shake the influence of her mother's family.
So, everything is back to square one.
How to solve the problem still needs to wait for the emperor's final words.
Zhao Jingcheng pondered for a long time, then slowly spoke: "One night of marriage equals a hundred days of love. I will give you three days. After three days, hand in the divorce papers and I will personally bear witness to your wishes."
After saying that, Zhao Jingcheng waved his hand and said, "I am tired. Let's stop the banquet here."
It was clearly a banquet to reward successful scholars, but in the end it became a court to settle the family affairs of the Yong'an Marquisate. Zhao Jingcheng also felt tired.
I used to think that what Gu Changqing did were all trivial things that men would do, but in the end I found out that this was just the tip of the iceberg. When I really dived underwater and saw the hidden part beneath the surface, I felt shocked.
But Zhao Jingcheng is the emperor after all, and the emperor also has a personality. He has always been a generous and benevolent emperor, and now in this kind of matter, he has to demonstrate his generosity, so, I will give you three days to see if there is still room for maneuver.
Everyone knelt down and respectfully saw the emperor off.
Su Jin closed his eyes silently.
She was already very satisfied that things had come to this point and were still intact, and that she still occupied the moral high ground.
While she was thinking, a hand gently rested on her shoulder, and Gu Zilu's voice came slowly: "Mother, I always thought that the emperor's kindness was a good thing, so he would stand on your side. Now it seems that kindness is not all good. If he was more decisive, maybe we would have divorced by now."
Su Jin: ...
He subconsciously looked up and covered his son's mouth.
Oh my God, let her see if the emperor has gone far!
"Oh."
The young man smiled, a happy smile from the bottom of his heart. He gently comforted Su Jin: "Don't worry, mother, your son is watching. He has disappeared long ago."
“…”
Gu Zilu said in a deep voice: "In three days, we will definitely be able to divorce."
I hope so.
Su Jin stood up slowly, and the three children immediately came over to support her. Su Jin swayed for a moment, then he realized that his legs were numb from kneeling.
Alas, it seems that there is nothing good about the palace banquet. She doesn’t have to kneel when eating at home.
"You, you really want to divorce?"
Gu Changqing stood in front of Su Jin, his face showing an expression that was hard to tell whether it was anger or sadness.
However, before Su Jin could speak, the three children had already gathered in front of Su Jin to protect her. The eldest child, Gu Zixuan, looked even more gloomy and said coldly: "We must leave!"
"You, you unfilial son..."
"Gu Changqing!"
Gu Zhao hurried over, and the old man was almost mad. He angrily said, "Why don't you go back? Don't you think you haven't embarrassed enough people?"
Gu Changqing looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him, so he could only grit his teeth and turn away.
Seeing his son leave, Gu Zhao turned around to look at his daughter-in-law. He saw the three children all protecting their mother. Then he looked at Su Jin who was well protected by her children. He knew that the divorce was settled. Gu Zhao sighed: "Madam, please write a letter to your family and ask your father to come over."
The incident alarmed the emperor, so naturally he had to ask the elders in the family to come. Who knows what will happen in three days.
