Shan Shen arrived a quarter of an hour later than Xu Guogong and his son.
When he arrived, Su Ke was kneeling in the corridor, and Xu Guogong stood aside with a tense face, saying nothing.
Eunuch Cao came out after hearing the sound and asked Shan Shen to go in with Duke Xu.
Shan Shen glanced at Eunuch Cao's face.
His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes unsmiling.
You can get a glimpse of the Holy Spirit’s mood.
After entering the imperial palace, Shan Shen saluted and stood aside without taking the initiative to speak.
On the contrary, it was Duke Xu Guogong who knelt down and saluted: "I have no way to teach my son..."
The Holy Emperor interrupted Xu Guogong and asked: "Did he deliberately harm Uncle Chengyi's house?"
"Absolutely not, it was just an accident," Xu Guogong hurriedly clarified, "There were many people watching the court, and they laughed at him about the past. He couldn't explain anything, and when he was in a hurry, he uttered arrogant words, alas!"
The Holy Emperor's eyes fell on Shan Shen.
Shan Shen hurriedly handed the case file to Eunuch Cao and said: "I should have carefully sorted it out before submitting it to the Holy One, but I heard that Duke Xu had already entered the palace, and I didn't dare to keep the Holy One waiting for a long time, so..."
The Holy One didn't care about this. He opened it and raised his eyebrows.
Judging from the handwriting, it is not Shan Shen's own handwriting. The handwriting is slightly flying. It should be the master's written down of the court hearing process.
Very lively.
It was so lively that it was like a play. You just finished singing and I came on stage. Su Ke's words and the testimonies of witnesses were matched with the reactions of the people watching. Even if the emperor liked to listen to plays, he would often listen to Xia Qinglue's lively remarks.
The scene was so shocking that the organization was speechless for a moment.
Putting down the case file, His Majesty touched the center of his brow.
After a long time, he asked Xu Guogong: "After hearing everything, do you still insist that it was an accident or a coincidence?"
Xu Guogong insisted.
He couldn't help but persevere.
The Holy Spirit laughed and asked Eunuch Cao to bring Su Ke in.
Su Ke didn't kneel for long, but today his mood was up and down. He broke out in a cold sweat earlier and was blown by the cold wind. Now he was in low spirits. When he saw the Holy One, his weak feet couldn't stand, so he simply knelt down again.
Go down.
Shan Shen's sharp eyes saw that something was wrong with Su Ke's situation, and whispered to Xu Guogong: "What's the matter with your master? He's so careless about kneeling? Why do I remember that he was very good at kneeling outside Uncle Chengyi's house half a year ago..."
Xu Guogong gave Shan Shen a hard look.
If you say he speaks loudly, he does suppress his voice, but if you say his voice is low, the Holy Spirit must have heard it!
Which pot won’t be opened?
It’s obviously intentional!
The Holy Emperor indeed heard it. Thinking of the situation that Xia Qinglue vividly described in the imperial study, he looked at Su Ke with an even more unkind look.
"Raise your head." He said.
Su Ke raised his head tremblingly.
The dragon's face is filled with anger.
"Tell it yourself," the Holy Emperor asked again, "Is it an accident? Is it a coincidence? With so much evidence, how can you still say it has nothing to do with you?"
Every word is majestic.
Even a minister like Shan Shen, who often saw the Holy Face, was so frightened that the hair on the back of his neck stood up, let alone Su Ke.
Su Ke had never had the experience of meeting a saint at such a close distance. He was so shocked that his face turned pale with fright and he could not stammer out a complete sentence.
Xu Guogong was also stunned on the spot, not even daring to remind Su Ke to answer.
The more you answer, the more likely you will be wrong.
"Everyone makes mistakes, and I also make mistakes sometimes," said the Holy Sage. "The most important thing is not to reflect and summarize after making a mistake?
It’s not that I haven’t given you a chance.
There was a lot of turmoil in the city before, and the two families broke off their marriage and settled the matter. I have not pursued it.
But you guys have done it again and again, and now you dare to murder people!
If you deny it even if you have done no harm to others, in front of the common people, or even in the imperial study room, if I don’t teach you a lesson, it will ruin the culture!”
Shan Shen was startled, and when he saw Eunuch Cao looking at his nose with his eyes and his mind with his nose, he immediately imitated him.
It wasn't until this moment that he fully understood what Xu Jian said.
"The Holy One doesn't like to hear it."
What the Holy Emperor hates is not the coincidence or misfortune that Su Ke has done, but the trend that has arisen among these dandy boys.
There is no glory in studying and practicing martial arts, but my private life is more chaotic than a romantic novel, and I am obsessed with it. I am calculating my reputation today, and my life tomorrow...
Thinking about what happened to the Zheng and Liu families a while ago, and then to Su Ke and Xu Guogong, it is no wonder that the Holy Father has completely lost his patience.
You can’t ignore it and you can’t go without punishment.
Otherwise, if this continues, the nobles and the disciples of the official family will be in chaos.
Xu Guogong almost didn't come up in one breath.
He heard the Holy Spirit's intention of killing chickens to scare monkeys, and hurriedly knocked his forehead on the floor tiles: "I am guilty. I did not teach my son well, I..."
Sheng glanced at Eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao immediately understood and called the guards in.
When Xu Guogong saw this, he did not dare to fight for anything in front of the emperor. He honestly retreated with shaky steps.
Su Ke was completely confused. He didn't know what would happen next or what the situation was like now. He was beaten away by the guards.
With two less troublesome people, the Holy Master took a sip of tea and asked Shan Shen, "Where is Xu Jian? Didn't you go to the court for trial?"
Based on His Majesty's understanding of Xu Jian, he would never leave without saying a word.
His name will definitely be on the case file.
Shan Shen replied: "The auxiliary Duke is working in Shuntian Mansion on behalf of his ministers." Read a book
The Holy Father raised his eyebrows: "It's strange, why doesn't he have fun?"
Shan Shen gritted his teeth and said: "It's quite cold outside, and the Duke's legs don't feel very comfortable. Besides, if the princess is here, if I see the cold wind blowing from the Duke..."
The Holy Spirit laughed.
Shan Shen secretly wondered.
This smile really makes me feel relaxed.
I thought that the Holy Father would be dissatisfied with helping the Duke to take time off, but I didn’t expect that the Holy One was not only not angry, but also quite happy?
That’s right!
The marriage indicated by the Holy Spirit.
The princess cares about the Duke, and the Duke will trust the princess's thoughts, and the Holy Emperor will definitely be satisfied.
Your Majesty has indeed relaxed a lot.
Xu Jian has his shortcomings, but he also has many advantages.
It would be great if the younger generation could handle things as clearly and as capable as Xu Jian!
Thinking of this, it became more and more obvious that Su Ke didn't want to talk.
"Xu Guogong closed his door to think about his mistakes and fined him a salary for three years. As for his unsatisfactory son," the saint thought for a while and said, "After traveling three thousand miles, let's send him away in these two days."
Shan Shen heard this and hurriedly responded.
In his opinion, the Holy Emperor not only gave a serious warning to the noble children in the capital, but also saved face for Xu Guogong's government, and did not beat him to the end with a stick.
The Holy One has made the decision, and Shuntian Mansion will just follow it.
Eunuch Cao and Shan Shen went out together and saw the father and son who were still in a daze outside the imperial study.
After hearing Eunuch Cao's words about the Holy Lord's judgment, Su Ke's eyes darkened, he felt dizzy, and ended up passing out again.
Xu Guogong looked at the door of the royal study in disbelief and murmured: "It can't be like this. Ke'er didn't mean it. How could it be possible... I want to see the Holy One, and the Holy One has mercy..."
Eunuch Cao stopped him: "Mr. Guo, listen to the Zajia's advice and admit it. Go back and talk to the old lady, the madam and the prince. Finally, give the third prince a full meal and send him out like this."
Right."
Xu Guogong was trembling all over, and turned to look at his son who was being held up by the guards so as not to fall to the ground.
Eunuch Cao’s words are very clear.
He also has an old mother and other sons.
If he disobeys the advice and really offends His Majesty, then...
