Qingzhou is located east of Kyoto and is one of the richest state capitals in the Yong Dynasty.
The Gu family has a surname from Qingzhou and made their fortune in fishing. It is said that the family has countless wealth and is as rich as the country!
"It's rare for a businessman from the Gu family to be able to teach such a knowledgeable and talented son."
Seeing that the prince was already reading, Emperor Yong made a meaningful comment.
The Yong Dynasty also had a standard class of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. Although the Gu family was rich, they still could not get on the stage. No wonder they wanted their children to obtain fame.
But the Gu family's wealth is so great that even though Gu Junlin has great literary talent and extraordinary knowledge, he cannot be praised too much.
This is full of calculations and checks and balances by the emperor, and the prince understands it all.
But the fear in his heart was too much at this time, and he had no intention of agreeing with Emperor Yong.
This...this is Chunwei!
There are people who really dare to use the trick of substituting one thing for another in Chunwei!
Emperor Yong just thought that the prince was too fascinated and didn't care.
At this time, he was even thinking, has the second child also read these articles? I don't know what he thinks.
The second child has been smart since he was a child and must have more unique insights.
The prince knew that raising questions hastily would not only harm the Qiao family, but would also arouse his father's suspicion, saying that he and the Qiao family were too close.
So he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and gave a few words of faint praise.
The time for the palace examination is set for the day after tomorrow, and the emperor will personally preside over the examination.
After the prince exited the imperial study, he returned to the East Palace calmly.
In the afternoon, the Queen sent someone to deliver a reward to Qiao's mansion. She said that Qiao Jiaojiao was frightened in the palace yesterday. The Queen felt sorry for Qiao Jiaojiao, so she sent some safety locks to express her comfort.
When Emperor Yong heard Eunuch Huang's report, he waved his hands indifferently, and there was even a hint of boredom in his brows.
"From now on, the queen doesn't have to report these trivial matters to me."
Eunuch Huang hurriedly said yes and sighed secretly.
He knew why the Holy One disliked the Empress, but Empress Yuliu committed suicide back then. In the final analysis, the Empress was not to blame...
Come on, as a slave, he just needs to obey his master.
The Queen's reward soon arrived at the Qiao Mansion, and Qiao Zhongguo led his whole family to thank him in person.
When Qiao Zhongguo stepped forward to accept the reward, the palace attendant calmly handed over a piece of paper and pressed it under the red plate.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Gong Renxu mouthed.
She is the Queen's absolute confidant.
Qiao Zhongguo's heart skipped a beat, and he took the red plate with a smile, "Thank you, Queen, for the reward. My little girl is fine. Please rest assured, Queen."
Having received the news from the palace people, he led a large group of people out and returned to the palace to resume their duties.
Qiao Zhong Guoping dismissed all his servants, opened the note and saw that it was written by the prince.
Qiao Jiaojiao was held in Mrs. Qiao's arms. When she saw this, she hurriedly moved toward Qiao Zhongguo.
【father! Think about what the prince wrote! I really want to know too! 】
The next moment Qiao Zhongguo spoke.
"The prince said that this morning he read three articles by Yijia. The most outstanding article was exactly the same as Tan Hanchi's, but now it was signed by Qingzhou Gu Junlin."
Qiao Jiaojiao was suddenly enlightened upon hearing this.
【Qingzhou Gu family! No wonder! No wonder the Gu family would be used by the second prince. How dare he have such a big deal in his hands! 】
[You must know that the Gu family is a very wealthy family. Their business is spread all over the Yong Dynasty. They have accumulated it since their ancestors, and they have a rich foundation. 】
[What kind of soaps, perfumes, and lipsticks does the heroine make later? She uses the Gu family's sales and connections to make money, and finally builds her own business empire. It's a great story about making a fortune in ancient times! 】
The Qiao family didn't understand what soap perfume was, but they could tell that the Gu family was crucial to the second prince's great cause.
"The prince also said that the palace examination is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. At that time, the Holy Father will personally preside over the examination and the prince will listen."
As soon as Qiao Zhongguo finished speaking, Qiao Tianjing frowned.
"Dad, we don't have much time left. Once the palace examination is settled, it will be extremely difficult for Brother Tan to get his ranking back!"
Qiao Jiaojiao followed and pondered, her face wrinkled into a small bitter gourd.
[Let me think about it, first of all, our Qiao family must not come forward, otherwise it will directly expose our family to the guns of the second prince, Duke Qing and the Minister of Rites. 】
[That dog emperor is not a good person either. If he becomes suspicious, he still needs to question his father’s intentions. That’s not possible! 】
[Prince...Prince is even worse. Don't advance his death date by then. 】
Qiao family: "..."
Although the explanation is not rough, these words are really rough, and it’s a pity that only their family can hear it!
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes were dark.
[It seems that Tan Hanchi can only take the initiative himself! 】
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Qiao family's eyes lit up.
The next moment, they all shouted: "Dengwengu!"
【Dengwengu! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then clapped her hands in surprise.
[Mom, the whole family wants to go together! 】
[I saw my father and brother standing there with big eyes and small eyes, thinking that they were both worried, but it turned out that just like me, the CPU was running crazily! 】
Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing looked at each other, and the father and son smiled in unison.
But no, they were at a loss just now, but Jiaojiao turned around and offered them the solution.
Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts continued to diverge.
[Alas, when my father was wronged and sentenced to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate, it was the eldest and second brothers who went to beat the Dengwen drum outside the palace gate. 】
[But the dog emperor and the second prince were determined to put their father to death. In the end, the eldest and second brothers received thirty blows each, and then were perfunctorily sent back to Qiao Mansion. 】
In order to prevent someone from beating the Dengwen drum maliciously, there was a regulation at the founding of the Yong Dynasty.
Those who beat the drums of Dengwen will first receive thirty big boards. When the drums sound, the emperor will personally judge the grievances.
[I don’t know if Tan Hanchi can stand these thirty big boards. 】
[Furthermore, the Qingguo Duke’s government must be still frantically searching for Tan Hanchi. Not only must he ensure that he reaches the Dengwen drum safely, but they must also protect him to prevent Qingguo Gong’s people from taking the opportunity to do anything and beat Tan Hanchi to death. . 】
These considerations really touched the hearts of Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing, and the father and son also considered these issues.
Now that Qiao Zhongguo heard that he would be beheaded by the Meridian Gate, he was able to remain calm.
Isn't what their family is doing their best to change their destiny and subvert the established outcome?
At this time, Qiao Zhongguo couldn't help but marvel, Jiaojiao's quick thinking and intelligence were far beyond ordinary people.
Exposing Chunwei's fraud had never happened in her predictions, but she was able to think carefully and comprehensively in the fastest possible time.
This kid might even be able to become a military advisor in the future!
When Qiao Diyi brought Tan Hanchi over, Qiao Zhongguo fully analyzed the current situation to him and detailed the risks involved.
"Tan Hanchi, whether you beat the Dengwen drum or not is entirely up to you."
Qiao Zhongguo looked at Tan Hanchi calmly.
Upon seeing this, Tan Hanchi bowed deeply to Qiao Zhongguo, his expression extremely firm.
"General Qiao, nothing is difficult and easy, but if you are brave enough to do something, this junior is willing to beat the drum, no matter life or death!"
