chapter 34 Chapter 34 Summoning

Chapter 34

The red palace wall was heavy and majestic. If you look closely, you can see the mottled marks of time on it. On both sides stood guards wearing cold armor, listening to the people in front of them with a covetous look.

There were hundreds of people sitting on the bluestone slabs at the entrance of the palace wall, half of whom were wearing the clothes of the Imperial College, and they were the students who came to petition.

After the majority of people fainted, they were sent to the teahouse next to them. The person sitting in the front row became Du Haoyu, and in front and behind him were his younger brother Du De, and on the left was Jiang Yan.

The weather was hot, and the people who were exposed to the sun were dizzy. Many people in the back row could not sit still, but Du Haoyu was the only one who had to sit straight, which was admirable.

Jiang Yan licked his lips. They had not had a drop of water in the past few days, and every moment was a torment. When it was too difficult, he would also be confused and wonder why it was so. But when he looked up and saw Du Haoyu sitting upright, he felt ashamed.

Jiang Yan and Du De went to the capital together and were caught by Du Haoyu.

He thought Du Haoyu would severely blame them and even let them go back immediately, but Du Haoyu did not do so. After asking the reason, he even recommended them to the public, so that the two of them would not be like ants on a hot pot, and they also participated in the petition with them.

Du De always felt that his elder brother did things too arbitrarily and was not reliable at all. He could not help but have some complaints in his heart, but this time he really admired him.

Du De said to Jiang Yan several times, I didn't expect that my elder brother was such a righteous person, and hated evil, but Jiang Yan felt that this matter was probably related to his sister Jiang Yu.

Jiang Ji was angered by Zhao Shoufu. If the chief minister was not dismissed and investigated, Jiang Yu would probably be angered and spend the rest of his life in prison.

Of course, this was just Jiang Yan's guess, but he felt it was close.

Someone shouted that the prince was coming, and someone looked over. Hundreds of soldiers and cavalrymen surrounded a carriage and stopped at the palace gate.

When the carriage stopped, Lin Bozhi got off the carriage, wearing a dragon robe embroidered with gold and silver threads, a winged crown on his head, and six-legged boots on his feet, which was exactly the attire of the prince of the current dynasty.

From a distance, Lin Bozhi and Du Haoyu looked at each other. There was no doubt that Du Haoyu looked very haggard at this moment, with chapped lips and a dark complexion, but his eyes were like a sharp knife.

Lin Bozhi had only one thought in his mind, that these people might not be able to hold on if they continued to be exposed to the sun.

The merchant ship that He said arrived the next day, and he took Jiang Yu to see the goods.

Jiang Yu thought he was going to the dock, but He's carriage went directly to the silver building on Fengtai Street. It turned out that merchants would gather here to sell imported goods every time.

Datong is the most important port, with many connections and close to the capital. There are naturally many dignitaries, but He is the wife of the prefect after all, and the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, so he is naturally very courteous to He.

He led Jiang Yu down from the carriage and went directly to the second floor. There were already quite a few people inside, which was much more spacious than expected. Seeing He, it was obvious that everyone knew him, and many merchants came to greet him.

"Do you have any good mirrors? Bring me more so that I can choose."

He was rich and generous, and her personality was straightforward. These merchants liked to do business with her the most. Many people came over and took out their goods.

Jiang Yu was actually a little absent-minded. After all, the incident of Zhao Shoufu in the capital was so big, but everyone was worried about her, so she could only hide her worries in her heart and act normal on the surface. Jiang

Yu picked out several mirrors, one for her mother, one for her sister-in-law, etc., the price was very affordable, and she also picked out a few spices, which was considered a full load.

He bought a lot, including Korean ginseng, pearls from Japan, and spices. By the time they returned, they had almost filled up a carriage.

When Du returned home, she was delighted to see the mirror. This thing was clearer than a bronze mirror, but she stopped looking at it after a few times, saying it was not as good as a bronze mirror. Jiang Yu was a little puzzled at first, but later she saw her mother holding up the wrinkles on her forehead, and she understood that the mirror was too clear and could also reflect wrinkles.

She coaxed Du and said, "Mom, someone asked me today if the person who accompanied you out yesterday was your sister. I was stunned at the time, but then I remembered that they were talking about you, right?"

Du knew that Jiang Yu was deliberately praising her, but who doesn't like to hear good words? It was still the daughter who tried her best to coax him. She couldn't help but smile and said, "You, don't you listen to what you are saying? I'm already this old."

The two were talking when Cuiping suddenly ran in and whispered a few words in Jiang Yu's ear. Du asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" "

Did your brother get into trouble?"

"Tell me quickly, what's the matter?"

Jiang Yu said, "The Lord Liu who reported Zhao Shoufu crashed into the dragon pillar of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to show his determination."

The emperor had been delaying the decision and dragging on the matter. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was actually partial to Zhao Shoufu, and the death of Lord Liu was obviously a fuse that exploded the appearance and aroused a huge wave.

Jiang Yu knew that this matter would probably have a result soon.

As Jiang Yu expected, many censors who had remained silent suddenly became excited and wrote to the emperor, asking him to punish Zhao Shoufu.

Of course, there were also people who spoke up for Prime Minister Zhao, and the argument was heated.

But no one expected that the emperor would summon Jiang Yu to the palace at this time, and Jiang Yu was also stunned when he saw the carriage parked at the door.

The person who came to pick up Jiang Yu was actually the emperor's chief steward, eunuch Zhang, who was the eunuch Zhang who went to Lin'an to pick up the crown prince Lin Bozhi. She was very polite to Jiang Yu and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty just wants to ask Madam a few things."

Jiang Yu felt relieved. Now everyone is in the capital, including her husband Du Haoyu, her younger brothers Jiang Yan and Du De. Only she can stay here because of her husband's protection. Although she has no choice, she also has a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.

Mrs. Du was so frightened that her face turned pale. It was as if she had said that Jiang Yan was in the capital. If something happened to Jiang Yu, she really couldn't bear it. Jiang Yu comforted her, "If Your Majesty really wanted to blame me, you should have sent someone to arrest me directly. Why did you have to ask Eunuch Zhang to come and pick me up in person?"

Just like that, Jiang Yu got on the carriage
