Chapter 143: Song Pu was angry at his lack of resistance and was helpless!
In the court struggle, although conspiracy is terrible, open conspiracy is truly unsolvable.
What's more, Gu Jingzhi was holding up the banner of justice.
Even though there may not be many people among these people who truly care about the people, once such words are uttered, these officials still have to save face.
When it comes to the political struggle, Gu Jingzhi is really no match for Song Pu. He just has the support of Emperor Xia and is not afraid of offending anyone.
If this kind of political tactic were used in modern times, it would have been over long ago, but who can blame it for the feudal monarchy?
Even if Song Pu was very capable, Gu Jingzhi did not reveal any evidence, and with Emperor Xia's support behind him, even though Song Pu was powerful, he had to take a step back.
In this way, Gu Jingzhi won another victory.
……
Although the Gu family was not sealed off, the news of Gu Heng's imprisonment still reached the Gu family.
When Song Yu heard that Gu Heng was imprisoned, he immediately became anxious, but no matter how they asked, they could not get more details. They only knew that the matter was caused by Gu Jingzhi.
When Song Yu and Gu Xiu heard this, they were immediately shocked.
"That bastard Gu Jingzhi...how dare he do this?"
Gu Xiu broke through the defense directly.
You know, that's father! Even the Gu family doesn't like Gu Jingzhi. In their eyes, Gu Jingzhi's status is not as good as a servant.
But Gu Heng is the father and Gu Jingzhi is the son, how dare he?
Song Yu didn't expect Gu Jingzhi to be so bold, and what she didn't expect was that her father, who was the head of all officials, couldn't even protect her husband?
This news completely destroyed the three views of both mother and son.
"No, I have to find that bastard and ask him clearly..."
Gu Xiu suddenly stood up and walked straight out the door.
Song Yu, who was still in a daze, immediately came to her senses. Seeing her impulsive little son, she scolded him, "Stop right there!"
Gu Xiu paused, intimidated by his mother's dominance. He turned around, but his face was still full of indignation as he said, "Mom, that bastard Gu Jingzhi has stepped on our faces, and now he's even framing father. I must teach him a lesson!"
"shut up!"
Song Yu scolded him, "Your father has already been imprisoned, and you're just a fool. How can you teach him a lesson?"
It’s not that Song Yu looks down on his son, but Gu Jingzhi is really awesome!
At this point, even if Song Yu looked down on Gu Jingzhi, she had to admit Gu Jingzhi's ability.
Despite her father's strong suppression, she was still able to jump from a lowly sixth-rank official... to the fourth-rank official of the current dynasty in just over half a year!
Frankly speaking, even her father's promotion speed was not as fast as hers.
This is even with the support of the aristocratic families.
Now Gu Jingzhi is already a fourth-rank official in the current dynasty. How can Gu Xiu, a mere commoner, be a match for Gu Jingzhi?
He was able to get hold of evidence against Gu Heng, a third-rank military officer, and throw him into jail, let alone Gu Xiu, the son of an earl?
I'm afraid that before he even sees Gu Jingzhi, he will be thrown into prison to accompany his father on charges of offending court officials.
She finally understood that Gu Jingzhi, this beast, was not someone they could control.
After being scolded, Gu Xiu yelled hysterically, "What should we do now? Are we just going to watch him trample on our heads? He's a bastard, Gu Jingzhi, does he deserve it?"
"It's hard to say whether he deserves it or not, but if you go there now, I'll have to go to the prison tomorrow to deliver food to you and your son!"
Seeing his youngest son being so troublesome, Song Yu got angry!
Upon hearing that he was going to jail and his mother was acting so arrogantly, Gu Xiu immediately asked weakly, "Mom, what should we do now? Dad is still in jail!"
"Go find your grandpa! He's sure to have better solutions than us!"
At this point, it seemed pointless for them to look for anyone other than Song Pu. If Song Pu, the head of all officials, couldn't do anything, it would be useless for others to go.
Song Yu and Gu Xiu, mother and son, arrived at the prime minister's residence. As soon as they entered the door, before they had time to greet each other, they saw Song Pu with a sullen face.
"father……"
Song Yu shouted weakly.
"Don't call me dad. If you continue to call me that, my Song family will be gone without a trace!" Song Pu was extremely fed up with Gu Heng's family.
He had placed Gu Xiu in the Ministry of Personnel before, but Gu Xiu, who had no ability, wanted to interfere in the allocation of officials.
As a result of this incident, not only was Gu Heng demoted, Song Yu's imperial edict was taken away, and he was even executed.
It got even more outrageous later.
Gu Heng was so audacious that he sent his private soldiers to intercept and kill Gu Jingzhi's delegation...
There are so many of these nine clans that they are not enough to kill.
It's fine that this thing hasn't been exposed yet, but who knows when it will happen? This is a heinous crime that can kill nine generations of the clan. Gu Heng is really awesome. He did it as soon as he said it!
After all, these things concern the future of the Gu family, so he can understand.
But now...
Song Pu said angrily, "Gu Heng has been a marquis for over a decade. Aren't the benefits of a marquisate enough for your family? What's so special about the little money those peasants have?"
It's no wonder he's angry.
A marquis was already given a lot of land, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he just bought some.
But what about Gu Heng's family?
He just likes to rob from the people. Are the robbed fields more fragrant?
Okay, even so, can you be a little more strategic?
Is it okay to force a sale or something? As for taking someone's life?
The entire Gu family, including Gu Heng, who is at the top, is like this. How many more people who use Gu Heng’s name to rob and plunder have done so?
"Dad, we're not the only ones doing this. Countless high-ranking officials in the capital city are doing the same thing!"
Song Yu felt a little aggrieved. They were just a few peasants. How could their lives be worth Gu Heng's?
"what……"
Song Pu was so angry that he laughed. He said angrily, "So, you think killing people for a little land is justified?"
"If Gu Heng is capable, it wouldn't be difficult for him to rise from a marquis to a duke. If he's not capable, just stay at home and don't do anything stupid. Your family's wealth will be no problem at all."
"For a mere piece of land, you've even sacrificed yourself. Is it worth it?"
"Are you really greedy enough, or do you really think that nothing in this world can control you?"
Most of the noble families in this world did everything they could to accumulate their initial wealth, but they gradually discovered that the more they did so, the faster they died.
Anyone who used such brutal means would eventually be completely eliminated for violating the imperial power.
As the representative of a noble family, the reason why Song Pu can still maintain his current position of power is not because his Song family has not yet touched that line?
Song Pu is powerful, but if the emperor wants to maintain stability in the world, he must follow the rules.
The emperor is like this, and you, Gu Heng, are more powerful than the emperor?
Song Yu was scolded by her father, but she did not dare to argue anymore. Instead, she said, "Dad, this matter is all our fault, but my husband is still in prison. You should think of a solution!"
