The talk session finally ended in the evening, and the clerks from the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent all the files recorded over the past three days to Gu Yu.
The other person in charge, King Xiaoyao, was not there, and Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was still finishing the work. Gu Yu was almost overwhelmed by the piles of records on the table.
Before the briefing meeting, she had been warned many times to streamline the minutes, but the writers still couldn't learn it. She simply summarized it and sorted out some important information.
Zhang Shangshu came in and said, "Thank you very much. Nephew Gu Xian stayed up late with us tonight to sort out these files and submit them to the Holy One tomorrow."
Gu Yu said: "This is the responsibility of the younger generation. It's not hard work."
She understood why Zhang Shangshu was in such a hurry. The day after tomorrow was the Saint's Day, and the apparent "perfection" of the symposium was regarded as a birthday congratulation to the Holy Lord from the Ministry of Officials.
Zhang Shangshu hesitated and said: "Xiannephew, would you like to change your clothes first?"
Gu Yu looked at himself and saw that his clothes were really messy today, so he found a clerk's coat and put it on.
Sun Qi came from outside and whispered in her ear: "Prince Gu, you have told Zheng Daru everything. Now Zheng Daru is being helped to the Ministry of Punishment."
Gu Yu took a sip of tea and said, "Continue to pay attention to the news from the Criminal Department."
Later, Sun Qi rushed over again and whispered: "The fifth and sixth princes have all returned to the palace, and Zheng Daru has also been summoned to the palace."
Gu Yu leaned on the chair and said, "Where is King Xiaoyao?"
Sun Qidao: "Today the prince went to the Ministry of Punishment and came out soon. The Holy One did not summon him. He had already returned to the eldest princess's mansion."
Gu Yu nodded and said: "Okay."
This is not a good sign for Xiaoyao Wang.
Both of them could see that the Sixth Prince was white and black, but it was one thing to see it and another thing to say it.
Who would believe that a twelve-year-old child could be so thoughtful that he would murder his companion to frame the emperor's brother?
Not only would no one believe him, but he would also be considered to have ulterior motives. Especially if King Xiaoyao said it, it would make the Holy Emperor feel that he used such lame excuses to frame the innocent sixth prince in order to exonerate the fifth prince.
Even if the Holy One believed that his son was a monster who killed his siblings at a young age, they would still be in trouble after digging out the truth.
The Holy One would not think that it was his own fault in teaching, and would only place the blame on Prince Xiaoyao, who had always protected the fifth prince, and on the noble concubine who educated the sixth prince.
Thousands of mistakes are all the fault of others. As a father, he will not make any mistakes.
What's more, it is true that the fifth prince and Di Tai bullied the sixth prince. It is also true that the mud on Zheng Yuanlang's body and the footprints kicked by the fifth prince are true. The Holy Emperor will only feel that the fifth prince has no filial piety and even bullies his own brother.
King Xiaoyao wanted to help the fifth prince "exonerate" himself, so he could only put all the blame on Di Tai. In this way, the people of the fifth prince faction could not help but feel chilled.
The Di family is not an ordinary family. The eldest son of the Di family is currently the young minister of Dali Temple. The companions who follow the fifth prince can be pushed out to "take the blame", but what about the other people who follow him.
The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have always been at odds with each other, and I am afraid they will not treat him truthfully. Even if Di Tai is suspected, he will be accused of being 70%.
The Fifth Prince Faction has to bite the bullet and swallow this frustrating loss.
Gu Yu and the officials were busy until late at night. She actually had a low fever and was just holding on.
The two Divine Eagle Guards arrived at Yudu Mountain, found her and said, "Prince Gu, the Holy One has summoned you, please come with us."
Gu Yu put down the file in his hand, looked around at the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and asked, pretending not to know anything, "Am I the only one?"
Naturally, the Divine Eagle Guard would not reveal so much information to her, and said, "I am only here to invite Crown Prince Gu on my orders."
Gu Yu stood up and said: "You two, please wait a moment. I will hand over the file on hand to Mr. Shangshu."
Zhang Shangshu didn't know that Zheng Yuanlang was dead, and now Monk Zhanger was confused as to why he summoned Gu Yu to the palace alone while he was here.
Seeing Gu Yu handing him the things he had packed up, he, as an elder, said with concern: "Probably to inquire about the situation of the symposium, Nephew Gu Xian should go."
Then he whispered in her ear: "The Holy Festival is approaching, and the matter of Enyin may be mentioned incidentally. You should seize the opportunity and perform well. I will wait for you in the official department."
Gu Yu smiled and said nothing.
The favors of the Yu Dynasty were divided into holy festival favors, great gift favors, official favors and legacy favors.
The Saint's Day Enyin is conferred on the saint's birthday, the Dali Enyin is held every three years at the outskirts of the city, the official's Enyin is when an official becomes an official and asks for his descendants' favor, and the legacy of Enyin is when an official dies.
Her original plan was to enter the court through the Holy Festival Enyin after the symposium. However, due to the Zhu Jianchun incident, the Holy Emperor had previously expressed that he wanted her to go to Jiangnan with King Xiaoyao to conduct a thorough investigation, but he was afraid that she would not be able to make it in time.
Fortunately, there is still an opportunity for a suburban memorial ceremony this fall, otherwise we would have to wait until next year.
After Gu Yu handed over the work at hand, he took off his official clothes and followed the two Eagle Guards into the palace wearing dirty clothes.
It was already very late at night, and the palace at night was completely different from that during the day.
It was cold, depressing, and only the Qinzheng Hall was brightly lit.
The throne is not easy to sit on, and the emperor is very diligent in the history of the Yu Dynasty. It is not uncommon to summon ministers to discuss matters in the middle of the night.
Fuhai came to meet him at the door and said, "Shizi Gu is finally here. Your Majesty has been waiting for you."
Gu Yu said: "I wasted some time on the road."
Entering the Qinzheng Hall, the Holy Spirit was lighting up the lamp to approve the memorial.
"I humble you, Gu Yu, please see Your Majesty!"
Gu Yu knelt on the ground and saluted. As she buried her head, she secretly guessed that whether it was because of Zhu Jianchun or Zheng Yuanlang, the Holy Father only summoned her.
This is a signal.
Just like the last time when the fifth prince overturned Zheng Daru's table, the Holy Emperor did not see King Xiaoyao. He was probably disappointed with the fifth prince, and his trust in the eldest princess and King Xiaoyao was also reduced a lot.
King Xiaoyao might have thought of this possibility and tried to persuade her to join the gang in the afternoon.
The way of an emperor lies in checks and balances. The fifth prince is showing a slight decline. If she still supports the sixth prince, she will naturally be happy to see this scene.
But...
In short, the Holy Spirit summoned her in the middle of the night to give her a chance to rise to power.
The Holy Master put down the memorial in his hand, and Gu Yu knelt on the ground. From his perspective, he could clearly see the wear and blood stains on Gu Yu's back, and then he shouted.
"I heard from Jingtang that you saved him today despite the danger. What kind of reward do you want?"
Gu Yudao: "Go back to your Majesty. This is what you should do as a humble person. I don't dare to ask for reward."
The Holy Sage said: "I have neglected Jingtang these years."
Gu Yu pursed her lips and said boldly: "The Holy One has worked very hard for the people of Yu the Great, and he has taken care of everything. It is inevitable that he was not considerate of the few princes."
The Holy Sage smiled and said, "Gu Yu, you are quite bold and dare not say anything."
