Zhao Zongquan fainted, and the officials naturally ignored the quarrel between Gu Tingye and Zhu Manniang.

King Huan, the Yuzhou gang, the prime ministers, and other high-ranking officials up to the level of prime minister, surrounded the emperor and moved into the side hall next to him to allow the imperial physician who had been summoned to diagnose and treat him.

The others couldn't get close to him and were not returned. They went back to the Yamen and went home.

With no one paying attention, Bai Dalang and Zhu Manniang were dragged out of the palace. It was a pity that Bai Dalang, a salt merchant, finally entered the Imperial City and Wende Palace once, but he didn't even say a word.

Others, including Sheng Changbai and other officials with insufficient grades, were detained in Wende Hall.

While waiting for the results of the emperor's diagnosis and treatment, in full view of everyone, the emperor fainted.

Without a clear result, it is impossible to let so many people spread rumors outside.

After all, everyone knows the power of rumors, and many people have seen the power of false rumors.

The story of the emperor's fainting could easily be spread after several rounds of rumors that the emperor was seriously ill and could not be cured, died soon after, and passed away directly. There are various versions.

In the absence of clear information about the emperor's physical condition, not to mention the common people, even these civil and military officials will inevitably become panic-stricken.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Han Zhang returned to Wende Hall with several senior officials and Shi Shiran:

"Guan Jia has woken up. There is no serious problem. He was just short of breath for a while. After the imperial doctor gave him acupuncture and medicine, Guan Jia has woken up and turned around."

Then Han Zhang raised his hand, as if he wanted to help Zhao Zongquan pass on the message: "I'm tired of the official instructions. There is insufficient evidence of guilt in Gu Hou's case. After verification, we will retrial at a different date. Please step aside."

Although Han Zhang is very courageous now, he certainly does not have the courage to falsely preach the imperial edict.

Seeing what Han Zhang said, all the civil and military officials resigned and left.

"This person couldn't have done it on purpose again. Zhao Zongquan wouldn't be a great Taoist, and he would have become a disease escaper."

After going out, Sheng Changbai began to wonder in his heart whether Zhao Zongquan did it on purpose again today.

Gu Tingye was accused of patricide and son-in-law by his stepmother and the mother of his child.

No matter how he looked at it, it was difficult for Gu Tingye to explain it clearly. It was already a situation where he could not explain himself and could not clean himself up.

Under the continuous questioning from Xiao Qin and Zhu Manniang, Gu Tingye could only respond with anger.

In order to relieve Gu Tingye, it is not impossible for Zhao Zongquan to stage another attack.

It was because Sheng Changbai was not of a high level and was too far away from the emperor to see the situation of inviting Zhao Zongquan.

If Han Zhang had his current status, it would not be difficult to directly feel Zhao Zongquan's pulse and judge the real situation for himself.

However, people in Lao Zhao's family are in poor health, suffer from mental illness, and generally have short life spans, which are all hereditary.

Although Zhao Zongquan was only in his thirties and in his prime, his health could not be said to be in good shape.

It makes perfect sense that he really fainted from anger.

After all, for such a long time, ever since Zhao Zongquan started to ignore the rules and gave his father the honorary title, Zhao Zongquan had never encountered anything that went well for him.

It's very real that he felt so aggrieved when he was an emperor, and that his faults were caused by being suppressed.

Based on the current situation, it was impossible to determine the emperor's true state. Sheng Changbai still felt uneasy and uncertain.

After lingering at the Yushitai until get off work and going to the Yamen, Sheng Changbai went directly to Hai's house.

After all, my father-in-law still has more status and qualifications than Sheng Changbai. He also went to the side hall today. He knows more about the emperor's physical condition than Sheng Changbai.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Sheng Changbai went straight to the topic. There is no need for the two sons-in-law to be so polite. Jackets.

After all, the relationship between the two people is indeed unusual, not an ordinary son-in-law relationship.

The children of the Hai family only inherit the bloodline of father-in-law Hai.

Career-wise, politically-wise, and ideologically-wise, Sheng Changbai is the true inheritor.

"Father-in-law, how is Guan Jia's health? Did Guan Jia really faint today?"

"The officials are really angry today. The situation is even a little dangerous. The imperial doctors don't even dare to make bold diagnosis and treatment."

Judging from the performance of the imperial physician, Zhao Zongquan was really seriously ill.

"I thought that when an official was in his prime, he would be able to do something great. I didn't expect that the official would act wantonly, be close to traitors and be close to traitors, and still have such a physical condition, which is really worrying."

Father-in-law Hai said worriedly that he was also a standard scholar-official with his own political ambitions.

After all, there are many officials in the Hai family. Hai's father-in-law is not short of power. His family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and he is not short of wealth. After studying, Mr. Hai's father-in-law is not prepared to live alone and wait for death. The place where he realizes his value is politics.

"Sigh... The Zhou Dynasty has been in a lot of troubles in recent years."

If Zhao Zongquan is really in poor health, it would not be a good thing.

Zhao Zongquan was in poor health and could not manage the affairs of the court, so the rights he gave up were either given to the Queen Mother or to Han Zhang.

In fact, neither is a good choice. These two people have the power and can't do anything serious.

At best, two people can maintain stability, which is not suitable for the current crisis-ridden situation in Dazhou.

Although Zhao Zongquan basically did not do any good things, he also investigated the salt tax, brought a wave of money to the court, and increased the national finance.

In order to save money, he also supported Gu Tingye in carrying out military reforms.

In comparison, Zhao Zongquan still has a work-minded heart.

Those who are willing to do things are better than those who do not. Even if Zhao Zongquan wants to mess around, the officials are not just a showman and will always find a way to stop it.

It is better than being in a pool of stagnant water in the Great Zhou Dynasty, singing and dancing on the surface and waiting to die.

Since Zhao Zongquan was really ill, of course he could justifiably hide in the harem to recuperate.

Of course, the court meetings will continue. If you don't consider state affairs, no one really likes to go to court and get up before dawn to go to work.

Most people are actually happy to take a short break.

Although the court meeting has been suspended, it does not mean that the court will not operate.

Each government office is still performing its duties step by step.

If there are no new decrees and no unexpected events, it will not have much impact if the North Korean meeting does not handle the issue.

Bai Dalang and Mannia's case against Gu Tingye will not stop just because the emperor hides back. It will continue to advance with the joint efforts of all parties.

There are really many people who want to mess with Gu Tingye, not to mention Gu Tingye's personal enemies.

After entering the political arena, I also provoked many people and encountered a lot of hostility.

In order to convict Gu Tingye, many people worked hard to investigate the case.

In order to determine whether Gu Tingye tortured and killed his parents and children.

The first thing is to find the child's grave and then try to find out the cause of the child's death.

This child was still very pitiful. It was not mentioned that he died young. After he was buried, he was dug up twice.

Previously, Gu Tingye followed Zhu Manniang and discovered Chang Geer's tomb, so he excavated it to confirm the child's life and death.

The child was buried for the first time with some straw. Not to mention the coffin she prepared for the child, it was the lowest funeral standard and she didn't even prepare a straw mat for the child.

Gu Tingye buried his child for the second time and had not had enough time to bury him.

And because of the investigation, the grave was dug again after he was buried.

The child is good, but with Gu Tingye as his father and Zhu Manniang as his mother, he has suffered a lot.

Even if he was dug up again, it could not prove Gu Tingye's innocence.

Because the corpse was completely reduced to bones, it was already very incomplete.

There were no injuries on the bones, so the cause of the child's death could not be determined.

Now the only witness is Zhu Manniang, who proves that Gu Tingye killed his son.

There is no other evidence that Gu Tingye killed his son or not.

In the end, this crime cannot be cleared.

Gu Tingye's second crime is patricide.

Gu Tingyu is dead, and the only witness left is Rong Feiyan from the nunnery.

The girl was actually kinder and righteous, and she didn't step on Gu Tingye just because he abandoned her.

After all, Rong Feiyan was mainly implicated by the Rong family.

Even if it were not Gu Tingye, it would be the result of divorce for any family.

If it had been any other family, Rong Feiyan might not have been able to get a free man and would have been sold into slavery.

Instead, he gave an objective confession.

Gu Yankai was not so angry that he vomited blood in front of Gu Tingye, but after Gu Tingye slammed the door and walked out, Gu Yankai was so angry that he vomited blood.

In fact, it is not bad. It is definitely inaccurate to say that Gu Tingye killed his father.

But it is also true that Gu Yankai was so angry that Gu Tingye died.

The difference between the two mainly lies in Gu Tingye's motivation, whether he took the initiative to kill Gu Yankai.

Gu Tingye still cannot get rid of this crime.

The third thing is that Bai Dalang sued Gu Tingye for occupying his own property.
