Late at night, the lights of Qinzheng Hall were not extinguished, and there were only two people left in the hall.
Shao Wuji, who was supposed to be the hero of the rescue, was kneeling in the palace. His burly figure was like a hill, making it impossible to ignore.
It wasn't until the Holy One finished processing the last booklet that he turned his attention to Shao Wuji.
The Holy One picked up a booklet from the desk, threw it to Shao Wuji, and said: "'A moment of negligence led to a big mistake.' This is the explanation you gave me."
Shao Wuji said: "Yes."
The Holy Master said with a cold face: "My heirs are very few, this time the Queen almost had a miscarriage, and my nephew Junze was also seriously injured. Shao Wuji, you are so ignorant of what you do, how can I use you!"
Shao Wuji said: "The Queen is pregnant and timid, so she should not have gone to the Autumn Sacrifice. As for King Xiaoyao, he can only show off his talents and cannot blame others."
The Holy Spirit was furious and said: "What an outrage!"
Shao Wuji's face remained calm, and he was not frightened by the anger of the Holy One. Instead, he said: "The Autumn Sacrifice is the best time for the Holy One to cleanse the court. If the Queen hadn't insisted on attending the Autumn Sacrifice and made herself famous, this matter would have happened."
It won't end so hastily, with only a dozen people killed or injured."
It was obviously him who alerted Queen Xu by letting the bear go, but when it came to his mouth, it turned out that Queen Xu was timid and made herself red.
The Holy Master looked at the impenitent Shao Wuji, and the muscles on his face kept twitching with anger. This brother-in-law had been with him since he was a child and knew him very well.
He can often understand his thoughts, but he is single-minded in doing things. In Shao Wuji's eyes, he is afraid that anyone who makes him dissatisfied should be killed.
But matters in the court can't be solved with just the word "kill".
He was already dissatisfied with the family's control over the court and wanted to change the court's blood.
But when I arrived at Shao Wuji's place, I actually thought that during the autumn sacrifice, all the high-ranking lords would participate, and let the bears out to catch them all.
He did notice Shao Wuji's little moves, but although Shao Wuji was straightforward and always in line with his wishes, he raised some harmless troubles and solved them by raising his hand.
He never expected that he would release such a big brown bear even though he knew that the pregnant queen was also attending.
This completely touched his bottom line.
The Holy Sage said: "You have done too much."
Shao Wuji still looked like "I'm right" and said: "I only care about the results."
The Holy One said: "Have you ever thought that if the Queen has a miscarriage because of this, I will kill you in a fit of rage!"
Shao Wuji said disapprovingly: "If you want to kill, just kill."
It wasn't that he didn't think the Holy One would kill him, but he felt from the bottom of his heart that it wouldn't be a big deal if the Holy One took his life.
If the Holy Spirit wants him to die, he will just die.
The Holy Emperor was furious: "You!"
Sheng looked at him for a long time, but finally got discouraged. He, a naughty brother, was born with a lack of strength. No matter how much he said, Shao Wuji would not understand.
The Holy Sage said: "Next time you are not allowed to act on your own initiative like this!"
Shao Wuji responded: "Yes."
But Shao Wuji knew in his heart that the Holy One was concerned about face, and if he did not take matters into his own hands and communicated certain matters to the Holy One, the Holy One would definitely refuse.
Just like when he killed the rebels, if he had explained it to the Holy One in advance, the Holy One would definitely not have allowed him to do it.
But he cut it first and played it later. If he really did it, the Holy Spirit was still satisfied in his heart.
But this time, several high-ranking nobles died in the hands of a bear, and the Holy One was able to fill this vacancy with his confidants.
If it weren't for the fact that Queen Xu saw the red, Junze was seriously injured, and the Holy Emperor had to ask him to kill the bear, the Holy Emperor must still be satisfied in his heart.
The Holy Master looked at Shao Wuji and said angrily: "Get out of here."
Shao Wuji stood up, picked up his heavy sword and left the palace.
All the way back to the Taiwei's Mansion, I opened the door and saw a man kneeling there who shouldn't have been there.
When Dilo saw him coming in, he called out: "Father."
Shao Wuji put down his heavy sword and sat on the chair.
There was only one lamp lit in the room, and in the dim light, the shadow on Shao Wuji's face covered his horrific scar.
Shao Wuji poured a cup of tea by himself and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Di Luo is also a noble son of a noble family, but since his younger brother Di Tai was pushed out by the Fifth Prince Faction to take the blame, he completely broke up with the Fifth Prince Faction. In order to find protection, he recognized Shao Wuji as his adoptive father.
Now he was kneeling in front of Shao Wuji, acting like a cheap son.
Di Luo said: "My son took it upon himself to bribe people from the Ministry of Rites and tampered with Gu Yu's sacrificial clothes, causing the bear to pounce on Gu Yu and beg his adoptive father to punish him."
Shao Wuji said: "The tail has not been cleaned?"
Di Luo said: "My son has tried his best to deal with it, but Gu Yu is very thoughtful, and his son is still afraid that she will find out the clues and harm his adoptive father."
He kept this matter secret from Shao Wuji from beginning to end, and was already prepared to be punished by Shao Wuji.
Moreover, his abilities are limited and it is impossible to do it perfectly, so he can only ask Shao Wuji to help him.
Shao Wuji put down the tea cup, touched the scar on his face, and said, "Gu Yu, Gu Junyi's son."
Di Luo was young after all. He was stunned for a moment who Gu Junyi was, and then he realized what he was and said: "Yes, he is the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo. It seems that he is about to ascend the throne."
Shao Wuji said: "If you find it, just find it."
Di Luo raised his head in surprise and said: "Father!"
Shao Wuji said: "You are my adopted son. Even if she finds out, she can't do anything to you."
On the one hand, Di Luo felt that Shao Wuji did things without taboos, which was completely different from the children of aristocratic families like them who were accustomed to whitewashing the peace.
On the other hand, he was pleasantly surprised by Shao Wuji's ability to cover the sky with his hand and blatantly protect him.
Di Luo thought for a moment and then said: "Gu Yu should not be underestimated. His ability is not inferior to that of Jun Ze."
Shao Wuji said: "What are you afraid of her doing?"
Di Luo said: "Yes, thank you stepfather for your blessing."
Shao Wuji said: "Go back."
Di Luo left the Taiwei's Mansion and looked back at the towering lintel. He always felt that something was wrong with Shao Wuji.
He had not been with Shao Wuji for a long time, but he knew in his heart that Shao Wuji should not care about anyone else except the Holy One.
Even after he said his name several times, Lieutenant Shao remembered that it was Di Luo, and when he mentioned Gu Yu, he actually mentioned the name of Gu Yu's father who had been dead for nearly twenty years.
Diro was at a loss for words.
----------------------------------------
Just as Shao Wuji said, Gu Yu found out about Di Luo, but because Di Luo recognized Shao Wuji as his adoptive father, Gu Yu turned against him.
Gu Yu couldn't figure out Shao Wuji, and the Holy Emperor was extremely fond of him. Gu Yu really didn't dare to offend him easily, so he could only suppress his anger for the time being and wait for the future.
Because the autumn ceremony encountered a bear and too many nobles were killed or injured, several white events were held in Kyoto at once.
In anger, the Holy Emperor punished a dozen officials from the Ministry of Rites who were responsible for the Autumn Sacrifice, and comforted the families of the nobles who were killed for a while, before he could barely suppress the nobles' dissatisfaction.
Gu Yu's words of "escort" finally penetrated into the heart of the Holy Emperor, and the decree of conferring nobility or officialdom came down early in the morning.
However, what surprised Gu Yu was that with the blessing of the Qingtanhui, the Holy Emperor did not allow her to join the Ministry of Personnel, but instead allowed her to join the Ministry of Punishment, with the official position of Minister of Punishment.
