Chapter 167 Listen to the gossip

Yang Ze hurriedly sorted out his official uniform, followed Eunuch Guo, entered the palace, passed through the outer hall, turned over a huge screen, and arrived at the inner hall.

In the inner hall, there were cigarette smoke. There were two rows of palace maids standing in the hall, one by one, like wooden sculptures, and they were motionless except for their eyes. The palace maids all looked at Yang Ze who was coming in, with a curious look in their eyes.

Yang Ze was a little nervous, his palms were slightly sweating. He was very knowledgeable in his two lives. It can be seen that this was the first time after all, and he felt a little like he was in the exam room. He was not nervous, but that was really boastful!

Eunuch Guo said in a subtle voice: "Don't look up, walk two more gold bricks forward, kneel down and kowtow!"

Yang Ze nodded slightly, walked forward two gold bricks, and then he knelt down on the ground and shouted: "My minister, Yang Ze, the young master of Dali Temple, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor!" Whether you want to kowtow to others or not, you must kowtow now. This is not a place of freedom and equality. Even if you kowtow to your elders, you will be thinking so in your heart.

Behind the huge Long Shu desk, an old voice sounded: "Yang Aiqing flat, raise her head and let me see you!"

After hearing this, Yang Ze stood up and looked forward. While Empress Dugu saw him clearly, he also saw the Queen clearly!

I saw that Queen Dugu was well maintained. Although the years had uncovered traces on her face, she looked energetic and majestic, and could almost be called a self-righteous without anger. She looked not much older than the eldest princess sitting next to her, and she was more imposing, but she could not see any kindness. She looked very different from the eldest princess in appearance. If she hadn't known that the eldest princess was her biological daughter, she could hardly guess that they were mother and daughter.

Queen Dugu also looked at Yang Ze, and she thought to herself: "I am not ugly, but I am not handsome, a little thin, not the type my daughter likes. It seems that her daughter really likes his talent, not other aspects."

Queen Dugu can be said to be very familiar with her eldest daughter. Although she looks kind and kind, she is actually strong. Although she is not young, she is very energetic and especially likes strong men. The more powerful a middle-aged man is, the more she likes the eldest princess.

This hobby of the eldest princess has developed a habit for Queen Dugu. As long as she is recommended by the eldest princess, she, as a mother, must first judge people by her appearance. Guess whether the recommended person will have an affair with the eldest princess. Guess the reason for the recommendation is that it is more personal relationships or more business affairs.

Fortunately, Yang Ze is relatively thin and definitely not a muscular man. Since he is not very strong, he will not have any affair with the eldest princess. He has passed this level.

Queen Dugu said: "Give him a seat, and Yang Aiqing sat down and talked."

A palace maid lifted an embroidery pier, and Yang Ze sat down properly, only half of his butt to show his fear and fear. He said, "Thank you, Lord, Longyou!"

Queen Dugu suddenly smiled and was amused. She usually gave her ministers a seat. The ministers only said thanking the emperor, but they had never heard any minister say thanking the Lord for his kindness. This child is really honest. It seems that no one has taught him these etiquettes. He usually sees it in operas, and he says whatever he has, and he is not a slick person.

When Yang Ze first entered Beijing, Wu Youren taught him what to say when he saw the queen. Of course, he knew there was no need to say thanking the Lord for his long eternity, but did Eunuch Guo just remind him not to be slick, so he would just pretend to be stupid. If he pretended to be an unsavvy country boy, he would otherwise get a sincere evaluation. Some people in the court are easier to be an official, and some in the palace are better to be an official!

Queen Dugu had a good first impression of Yang Ze. She was a good child, but she was too young. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have let him be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

After looking at Yang Ze for a while, she saw a thin layer of sweat appearing on Yang Ze’s forehead. Queen Dugu was even more satisfied. This child was very awe of him, not pretending!

Yang Ze gently wiped his forehead and thought to himself: "This palace is too hot, I'm sweating!"

Queen Dugu said: "What happened to Yuwenwuliu's family, you should deal with it. How did you pass by? Let me tell you!"

Yang Ze swallowed his saliva and told the story from beginning to end. There was no exaggeration at all, and it was completely true.

After hearing this, Empress Dugu smiled and said, "That child Zhenglong, have you been looking for you for Yu Wenwuluan. What did he say?"

Yang Ze hurriedly said: "The King of Linzi has indeed found Weichen and wants the Yuwen family to end here. After all, it is a family scandal and I don't want Yuwen to be laughed at."

Queen Dugu sighed softly and said, "Yuwen Wuluo is an old minister. If this happened to his family, let's stop here. I don't want to investigate it." But after saying that, she frowned and said, "But why did he resign? It's just a family scandal, and it doesn't affect his official voice."

Although Queen Dugu was powerful, she could not have imagined that something was too bizarre. She was just suspicious about her behavior of retiring for Yuwen and Wulu. She thought that there must be something strange about it, but what was strange about it was, but Yang Ze asked him to say it.

Yang Ze did not answer. What he said just now was the factual process, without exaggeration, so there was no guess. But now Empress Dugu asked why Yu Wenwuluo resigned, which had a subjective meaning in it. If Empress Dugu didn't ask him directly, he would not guess over and over, otherwise he would appear frivolous and impatient.

The eldest princess listened on the side. She didn't say anything, but now when she asked why Yu Wenwuluo resigned, she had to say something. Why Yu Wenwuluo resigned was her forced!

The eldest princess said, "Maybe the family scandal is too serious. And there are many people who know it, so he can't hide it. So he has no face to gain a foothold in the court and can only leave. However, it is also right for him to do this. Otherwise, such a person would still stay in the court and would damage the reputation of the court."

Queen Dugu has a lot of things every day. Not only does she have to deal with major national affairs, but she also has to prevent her children from usurping power. Although the possibility of her daughter usurping power is not high, and her sons are suppressed by her, the ministers in the court still care about the Li royal family, hoping to end the current situation of the heroine in the dynasty. All kinds of things are combined to make this unique queen exhausted and rarely has time to pay attention to gossip. However, loving gossip is a woman's nature. No matter how great Queen Dugu is, it is difficult to avoid.

After hearing his daughter say that this ugly thing is very serious, Queen Dugu asked very rarely: "What kind of ugly thing is that my son feels sorry for his parents, so he is ashamed and angry, and can't think about it for a moment?"

Judging from Yang Ze's statement just now, it is easy for people to associate it in this regard. Queen Dugu is not very interested in the private affairs of the minister's family, so she thinks it so. But now when the eldest princess says that, she can't help but have a little interest in the affairs of the minister's family.

The eldest princess winked at Yang Ze, meaning that it is your turn to say now, and show you your ability to re-enact the case for everyone to see!

Yang Ze coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I understand the art of repeating the case. I have repeated the matter of Mr. Yuwen in my heart, but I have not mentioned it to anyone. The emperor wants to ask about the real situation and allow Weichen to repeat the case."

Queen Dugu said, "So you just told me about the case, but didn't tell the real reason?"

"Whatever the emperor asked, the empress said. The empress did not dare to regard his guess as a case process!" Yang Ze said.

Queen Dugu nodded and said, "The reason why I asked you to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is that you have the ability to repeat the case. Just take this opportunity and tell me what will happen if the case of the Yuwen family repeats itself?"

Yang Ze then talked about his guess. He did not tell anyone about this guess. This was the first time he said it. He believed that as long as he said the result, even Queen Dugu would be shocked.

He said: "Weichen entered the new house on the night of the incident. When he was carefully inspecting the scene, he picked up half of the jade pendant under the table. He heard that this was a jade pendant in the style of a bidiya!" As he said that, he took out the half of the jade pendant from his arms and placed it on the Longshu desk.

Queen Dugu picked up the jade pendant and looked at it, saying, "This is a broken jade pendant. The jade pendant in the style of the tidal lotus is usually a thing that men and women love each other. It's not surprising that it appears in the new house!"

Yang Ze took out another half of the jade pendant and said, "When Weichen inspected the bride, he found another half of the jade pendant. It was confirmed that these two half-jade pendants belonged to Yuwen Baoxuan and Liu Ruyan. Before they entered the new house, they did not know that each other had a jade pendant. Both of them attached great importance to their half of the jade pendant. They had never told each other until they became husband and wife."

He also put Liu Ruyan's half jade pendant on Longshu's desk, but did not say that the half jade pendant was found from Liu Ruyan's body, so as not to arouse the disgust of Queen Dugu. After all, the things that are dead are unlucky.

Queen Dugu didn't ask much. She faced the two jade pendants together and said, "This is obviously the same jade pendant. It was broken and separated. But why did half of it be given to the bride by the Yuwen family and half of it? Then isn't the bride a singer or dancer?"

Yang Ze cleared his throat and said, "Weicheng will use the method of repeating the case to tell the case out and listen to it. Please ask Your Majesty to correct me."

Queen Dugu frowned. After a moment, she seemed to have figured out something, but she didn't say it. She just nodded slightly and said, "Tell me, see if it's the same as what I think!"
