The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

If this isn't making fun of someone, what is?

Who in the entire capital city doesn't know that although the current emperor treats Prince Yong very kindly.

But the sons in Prince Yong’s mansion are still unemployed at home!

There are many people who don’t understand the ins and outs of this, but no one dares to speak it out openly!

What did they just hear? The current emperor actually agreed to let Gu Jingyi leave the capital and serve as an official in a remote area?

What's worse, some people have even thought of asking Chu Mingyang what kind of official position he was assigned to during his exile, but when they looked up, Chu Mingyang was gone!

This made everyone feel like a cat's claws were scratching their hearts and livers, and they all felt their food stuck in their throats. They were so unwilling to accept it!

So they started discussing it privately, and there were many different opinions...

However, Chu Mingyang acted in an obviously anxious and hurried manner and went straight to the Minister of War.

Wu Liang, didn't you hide away? We won't look for you anymore. We can just skip the level and run up. You can't hide away from us one by one!

Anyway, there will always be someone in the huge Ministry of War to clean up the mess.

Chu Mingyang had learned his lesson. When he saw the Minister of War, he didn't say anything. Instead, he knelt down with tears in his eyes and said with a choked voice, "Sir, please save me..."

Assistant Minister of War:…”

Why was he so bewildered that he didn't run away earlier?

He thought this person wouldn't be so smart as to directly bypass his level and come to find him, the Minister. Now that's good, hehe~

Now Chu Mingyang didn't care what the Minister of War was thinking. Brother Tan had already told him that if he really couldn't find his immediate superior, the problem would not be solved.

It would only be beneficial for him if the matter became known to everyone. Otherwise, not only would he lose his official position, but he would even have difficulty saving his life. Even if it was for his life, he could no longer have any scruples. He had to make a fuss, the bigger the better.

He had heard Brother Tan's repeated instructions that only if he caused a commotion would Prince Yong be able to act accordingly.

"Chu Mingyang, what's wrong with a grown man like you crying? If you have something to say, please stand up and talk properly. It's not proper to look like this, it's not proper~"

"My Lord, I dare not stand up and speak. Please take a look at this document first. I have issued this document for Master Gu's appointment as instructed.

However, the order only told me that I would be sent to the southern corner, without saying when, nor did it assign any position. Isn't this putting me in a difficult position?

The fact that I am in trouble is secondary. The most important thing is that I have heard another piece of news, saying that Your Majesty has sent Prince Gu to the Northern Frontier to serve as a lieutenant general under Marquis Jing'an.

If this news is true, then one is going south and the other is going north, which is completely opposite to what we are doing!

My lord, the document in my hand is like a burning oil pan. If there is an error in the document and things are delayed because of it, I will have more heads than enough to chop off even if I have several!

My life is not worth much, but this matter is still within our Ministry of War!

If only my life could offset this matter, then I wouldn't be so impatient.

I am afraid that even if I were to sacrifice my life, I wouldn’t be able to make up for it!

After all, I am not the only one in our Ministry of War!

Please give me some advice on how I should handle the current situation."

The Minister of War was feeling mixed emotions at this moment, his expression no longer as calm as before. "Is what you just said true?"

What's going on here? Why is it completely different from what he knows?

Chu Mingyang saw that there was a way, so he directly told the whole story again, and did not forget to ask, "Sir, how do you think I should deal with this matter? I hope you can give me some advice."

The Minister of War could no longer pretend and looked at Chu Mingyang and said, "I can't give you any advice at the moment. This is no longer something I can advise you on. This matter must be reported to the Minister of War."

Hearing this, Chu Mingyang finally relaxed. He immediately stood up from the ground and followed the Minister of War to the office of the Minister of War.

What Brother Tan said is absolutely right. If things get out of hand, there is no need to worry. Look, there is someone here to take care of things now.

His upward head was finally able to rest firmly on his head.

Prince Yong's attendant had also been keeping an eye on the situation at the Ministry of War. Upon hearing the news, he immediately rushed back to report to his own prince.

After hearing the servant's report, Prince Yong and Gu Jingyi felt very upset.

Gu Jingyi was truly relaxed, and Prince Yong stared at his son with a complicated expression, "Have you planned this a long time ago?"

After hearing this, Gu Jingyi said to his father, "Father, if I stay here, I will only live a mediocre life. If I can leave the capital, I may have different opportunities.

Besides, I don't want to live a muddled life like my father. He has no way of leaving the capital in his lifetime, but I have the opportunity to leave, so why not seize it! "

When Prince Yong listened to his son's words, the expression on his face fell in just a moment, and even a sense of vicissitudes of life appeared on his face.

After a long pause, he continued, "Father understands. Father cannot give you any opportunity to display your talents. This is what pains Father.

Now that I have the opportunity, my son can spread his wings and fly. Father is waiting at home for the day when my son can be proud of himself~"

Gu Jingyi looked at his father's dejected back as he left. At this moment, he felt an indescribable discomfort. He understood his father's dilemma.

But the gongs and drums had already sounded, the show had already begun, and he couldn't afford to retreat at this moment. Besides, who knew why he couldn't make a name for himself?

Upon hearing the news, Princess Yong hurried over, but Prince Yong was no longer there. The only person in the room was her son, who was smiling foolishly.

She couldn't bear to see her son's behavior, so she asked directly, "Why are you alone? Didn't your father say he was here too?"

Gu Jingyi saw his mother and quickly went forward to help her sit down. He then responded calmly, "Mother, wasn't I too impatient? I didn't even consider my father's feelings."

"Son, it's not that you're too impatient, nor that you don't consider your father's feelings. Who would want to be a mere idler waiting to die? Especially someone as intelligent as my son.

If there were no such opportunity, my son would have wasted his time like this, but now that there is such an opportunity, how can I let my son live a mediocre life?

Your father is stronger than we thought!

Don't worry about it. The arrow is on the string and you have to shoot it. You will no longer be free from official duties in the future.

Now that we've boarded someone else's ship, the only thing we can do is move forward.

Leave everything to your father and mother!"
