The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

What Lin Feng said was true. The prince's family had indeed been unlucky recently.

Gu Jingzhi said: "The case of treason has not yet been concluded, but this matter will definitely not be good for the prince's family. If you have nothing to do during this period, don't go out, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

The two nodded, and then Lin Feng suddenly smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated my cousin yet. Before, His Majesty granted him a marriage, and today he has been conferred the title of Marquis. He will surely restore the former glory of the Gu family!"

"Yes! Sir, I congratulate you on being conferred the title of Marquis. From now on, I will address you as Marquis!"

Following Gu Jingzhi, they share the same fate.

Especially the Lin family. Now that they have the Marquis Gu Jingzhi, their Lin family will surely be able to restore its former prosperity!

Gu Jingzhi looked at Lin Feng and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I've never had the chance to see my grandfather. Now that I'm out of office, why don't I find time to go?"

"Cousin, are you going to Ningzhou?"

Lin Feng was a little overjoyed.

Gu Jingzhi nodded and said, "My mother is in Ningzhou, and the Gu family is also in Ningzhou. I should go back and visit her!"

"It's time to go back and take a look!"

Lin Feng's face was somewhat gloomy, and he said, "Gu Heng suppressed my aunt too much in the past. They didn't dare to send my aunt's tomb to the Gu family to be buried together with my uncle. Now that my cousin has the title, the district should properly repair the Gu family's ancestral tomb!"

When the Yun Kingdom was destroyed in the past, Emperor Xia had the bodies of the Gu family moved to Ningzhou for burial, but they were only hastily buried. Now that Gu Shunbei has been posthumously conferred the title of Duke, it is time to give the Gu family a proper burial!

"Let's wait until after the New Year! I'll ask you to go back to Ningzhou after the New Year, and then we can meet my grandfather together!"

Speaking of which, this grandfather, whom I had never met, just heard that he had passed the imperial examination and became an official, so he not only sent his two cousins to live with him to help, but also gave him a lot of money, for fear that he would not have a good life in the capital.

Although the two had never met before, their friendship was very deep.

He is now successful and famous, so he should go and take a look.

……

Seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye, and the court session was about to begin in a few days. However, undercurrents were surging in the capital, all centered around the case of a major rebellion.

However, Gu Jingzhi ignored all this and stayed at home all day, spending the New Year with his family.

These days, Chen Yu and his younger brother Chen Xiao also lived in his mansion and did not return to the small courtyard.

It can be said that Emperor Xia was foresighted. He granted Gu Jingzhi a mansion of the standard of a marquis's mansion early on. Now that Gu Jingzhi has been granted the title of marquis, he doesn't even have to move.

On this day, it snowed heavily. Gu Jingzhi's family, including Liu Sandao and several of his brothers, gathered around the stove to eat hot pot. The table was full of people and it was really lively.

We were enjoying the meal when suddenly Jiang Feng said that an honorable person was coming to visit!

Gu Jing was stunned. My dear...

He hurriedly got up and took his men to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, where he happened to see Emperor Xia and Duke Ying admiring plum blossoms in the courtyard. Seeing Gu Jingzhi's arrival, Emperor Xia looked quite excited.

"Gu Qing, I've been bored in the palace all day, but coming to your house and seeing the plum blossoms blooming so beautifully really makes me feel relaxed and happy!"

Gu Jingzhi quickly said modestly, "But the things I usually tend to are far inferior to the plum blossoms in the palace!"

"Ha ha!"

"The place where you appreciate plum blossoms is different, and your mood will naturally be different."

Emperor Xia laughed heartily, then noticed that Gu Jingzhi and the others were all sweating profusely. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "It's freezing in this snowy weather, why are Gu Qing and his family sweating so much? Are they drinking?"

"Haha! It's cold, let's have a few drinks. Your Majesty is here, so why not come too?"

Gu Jingzhi tried to invite him, but Xia Di asked with a smile, "Will it not disturb your family reunion?"

Although he said so, he walked straight inside.

Gu Jingzhi signaled to Jiang Feng, and then followed Emperor Xia. They came to the main hall, where the servants were cleaning up what they had eaten.

Chen Yu and others were standing aside. When they saw Emperor Xia coming, they immediately saluted.

Emperor Xia glanced at Chen Yu, then turned back to sneer at Gu Jingzhi, "You kid, you're so impatient to bring him home! Aren't you afraid that the censors will report you?"

"Uh!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled sheepishly and said, "Isn't this just for fun? Besides, this is a marriage granted by His Majesty, so it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later!"

"You……"

Emperor Xia smiled and shook his head, then took out a jade pendant from his waist and said, "You are getting married soon, so I will give you this jade pendant as a wedding gift!"

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty for the reward!"

Gu Jingzhi said with a smile, then gestured to Chen Yu, who took it respectfully with both hands.

Seeing Gu Jingzhi like this, Emperor Xia also knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but smile:

"You don't have to go to great lengths to elevate her status. You are now the Marquis of Daxia, so your wife should naturally be a second-rank official. After you get married, the imperial decree will naturally be issued!"

Without waiting for Gu Jingzhi to thank him, he looked at Lin Feng and Liu Sandao and asked, "Were these two also the ones who followed you to suppress the rebellion in the palace that day?"

"I beg your Majesty to forgive me for bringing people into the palace without permission. This is a serious crime!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Emperor Xia sighed softly and said, "If I had listened to you back then, I'm sure the incident that happened wouldn't have happened!"

"These two are extremely loyal and brave, they deserve a reward!"

"Your Majesty, I (the humble commoner) thank you!" Liu Sandao and Lin Feng immediately bowed to express their gratitude.

Emperor Xia was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why? This warrior doesn't hold an official position?"

"Your Majesty, Lin Feng is my cousin. He was sent by my grandfather to help me with some daily affairs, but he has no official status!"

Gu Jingzhi explained with a smile.

Emperor Xia smiled slightly and said, "You are so brave and strong at such a young age. Wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't become an official?"

"Hehe! Then Your Majesty, please watch!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled happily.

While they were talking, the pot on the stove was already boiling. Emperor Xia sniffed and asked, "What is this? Why does it smell so good?"

"Your Majesty, this is hot pot, perfect for cold weather, and paired with fine wine!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"

"it is good!"

Emperor Xia sat in the main seat with great interest. After Gu Jingzhi signaled others to leave, he and Duke Ying sat on Emperor Xia's left and right.

"My coming here has ruined your fun. You won't blame me, will you?"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? It is an honor for me to have Your Majesty here. How can I say I am disturbing you?"

Gu Jingzhi dipped a piece of fat lamb into the pot and rinsed it, then put it into Emperor Xia's bowl: "Your Majesty, this hot pot is best eaten hot, please try it!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Xia put the fat sheep into his mouth, his eyes slightly lit up, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Delicious! I have eaten countless muttons like this, but this time it feels particularly different!"

"hehe!"

Gu Jingzhi just smiled slightly, and then the three of them ate and chatted.

After three rounds of drinking.

Emperor Xia suddenly asked, "Gu Qing, what do you think should be done with the Crown Prince?"
