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 and said 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 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 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 sorted it out carefully 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 Master didn't care about this. He opened it and raised his eyebrows.
Judging from the handwriting, it was not Shan Shen's own handwriting. The handwriting was 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 the Holy Spirit liked to listen to plays, and he often listened to Xia Qinglue's lively remarks. The scene was so shocking that the organization was speechless for a moment.
Putting down the case file, the Holy Master pressed his eyebrows.
After a long time, he asked Xu Guogong: "After hearing everything, do you still insist that it was an accident or coincidence?"
Xu Guogong insisted.
He couldn't help but persist.
The Holy Emperor 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 Master, 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 wrong with your master? 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 was obviously intentional!
The Holy Emperor did hear 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.
"Keep your head up," he said.
Su Ke raised his head tremblingly.
Long Yan was angry.
"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 Shan Shen, a minister 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 are to make a mistake.
"Everyone makes mistakes, and I also make mistakes sometimes," said the Holy Sage. "Isn't the most important thing to reflect on and summarize after making a mistake?
It's not that I haven't given you a chance.
There was a turmoil in the city before. The two families broke off their marriage and settled the matter. I never 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 in the imperial study room, if I don't teach you a lesson, it will ruin the atmosphere! "
Shan Shen was startled, and when he saw Eunuch Cao looking at his nose and heart with his eyes, 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 accidents that Su Ke caused, whether they were accidental or not, but the trend of these dandy boys.
There is no success in studying and practicing martial arts, but my private life is more chaotic than a romantic novel, and I have many thoughts. Today I am calculating my reputation, tomorrow I am calculating my life...
Thinking about what happened to the Zheng and Liu families a while ago, and then to Su Ke and Xu Guogong, it's no wonder that the Holy Father has completely lost his patience.
You can't ignore it and you can't go unpunished.
Otherwise, if this continues, the children of nobles and officials will be in chaos.
Xu Guogong almost didn't come up in one breath.
He heard the Holy Spirit's intention of killing the chicken to scare the 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 imperial court, and retreated honestly and unsteadily.
Su Ke was completely confused. He didn't know what would happen next, and he didn't know what the situation was now. He was beaten away by the guards.
With two less people to worry about, 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 Duke of Fu is working in Shuntian Mansion on behalf of his ministers."
The Holy Emperor 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 are not feeling well. 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 Emperor would be dissatisfied with helping the Duke take time off, but he didn't expect that the Holy Emperor was not only not angry, but also quite happy?
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.
The Holy Spirit is indeed much more relaxed.
Xu Jian has his shortcomings, but he also has many advantages.
It would be great if the younger generation were as clear and 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 of three years. As for his unsatisfactory son," the saint thought for a while and said, "After three thousand miles, let's send him away in these two days."
Hearing this, Shan Shen hurriedly responded.
In his opinion, the Holy One was not only giving a serious warning to the noble children in the capital, but also saving face for Xu Guogong's government, without beating him to the end with a stick.
The Shuntian Mansion just has to follow what the Holy One has decided.
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 room 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 will show mercy..."
Eunuch Cao stopped him: "Mr. Guo, listen to the Zajia's advice. Just admit it. Go back and talk to the old lady, madam and the prince. Finally, give the third prince a full meal and send him out like this." Bar."
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...
