"Move overseas?" Lao Zhu couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. Han Du's method was quite satisfactory to him.
Exile is also a punishment, and it is also a severe punishment. Officials' common crimes would not be punished by being exiled for three thousand miles. Moreover, being exiled overseas is much more serious than being exiled three thousand miles away.
"I have been caught by the wind and cold these days, and my body is ailing. According to the decree, the prince will supervise the country these days." Lao Zhu said calmly.
"According to the order." The old eunuch stood aside and smiled slightly.
Lao Zhu was so energetic just now, but now he said something about wind and cold. The old eunuch naturally knew what he meant and responded with a smile.
Han Du immediately bowed and said, "I'm leaving."
After saying that, he stood up and pulled Zhu Biao, who was confused, out.
After Zhu Biao went out, he pulled Han Du in confusion and asked: "My father has already agreed, why did you drag Gu away?"
Han Du put away his hand angrily and said, "The emperor has already agreed, why are we still waiting inside?"
"Father, when did..." Zhu Biao suddenly came back to his senses and said in surprise: "You mean?"
Han Du nodded and said: "After all, the emperor just said that he would kill all the corrupt officials in the world. How could he stand up and issue an order to spare them at this time? Therefore, this imperial edict can only be issued by you, and you must memorize it." I issue this imperial edict in the name of the emperor. Tomorrow is the morning court, and the emperor is slightly ailing at this time. Isn’t it obvious what I mean by asking you to supervise the country? "
"I understand." Zhu Biao's expression showed excitement that could not be concealed.
But Han Du poured cold water on him, "Don't be too happy too early. If you issue this imperial edict, the emperor will definitely hold you accountable in the future. Forging an imperial edict and spreading it without permission, what kind of crime is this? You know the consequences better than I do. You'd better think about it carefully. It's best to think clearly before making a decision."
Han Du originally thought that Zhu Biao would think carefully about such a big deal.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Biao said without hesitation: "Don't think about it, Gu decided to save them. If there are tens of thousands of people alive, what if Gu doesn't become the prince?"
Zhu Biao's decisiveness moved Han Du. After watching Zhu Biao be silent for a moment,
Han Du suddenly smiled and said: "Your Highness will definitely be a saint king in the future."
In the Jinshen Palace just now, Han Du clearly felt that Lao Zhu wanted him to assist Zhu Biao in the future. And Han Du had no choice at all in this matter. With Lao Zhu's high hopes for Zhu Biao, even if Han Du wanted to change to a prince to assist him, he couldn't.
Now seeing that Zhu Biao gave up his status as prince without hesitation for the sake of those officials, Han Du had to admire him. Living under a benevolent emperor like Zhu Biao is much easier than being a tycoon like Zhu Di. And now that the world is uncertain, Han Du doesn't believe that Zhu Di can change the world even if he is here. It's better that he doesn't have any objections now. If Han Du is there, he will definitely kill him.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. What kind of saint is not a saint? The most important thing now is, what should those officials do?" Zhu Biao slapped the thumb that Han Du raised towards him. Having been in contact with Han Du for a long time, he also knew that Han Du meant to praise him.
"What else can we do? The leader Guo Huan and others will definitely die. As for the other people, His Highness can decide what to do." Han Du doesn't have to be interested in getting involved in this matter anymore. He can do this. , is already worthy of Zhu Biao, and doesn’t want to continue to get involved.
After Han Du finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.
Zhu Biao pondered for a while and did not call out to Han Du again.
The next morning at court, hundreds of officials waited, but did not wait until the emperor came out. As time went by, I couldn't help but become a little restless.
Zhu Biao walked into the palace gate with a smile on his face and immediately attracted the attention of all the officials.
At this time, the old eunuch stood up from behind, walked to stand under His Majesty Dan, and said: "The Emperor is ill, and he has orally ordered the Prince and the abbot to come to court this morning to express his gratitude."
"My son, I obey the order." Zhu Biao bowed towards the empty dragon chair.
The officials looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, not knowing what was going on. They were in a state of confusion.
Xue Xiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and asked: "Since the emperor is ill, can I ask you to see me?" Xue Xiang was worried whether the emperor was really ill or fake. If it's a real illness, then of course it's nothing. But if it was a fake illness, or something even further, could it be that the prince wanted to usurp the throne and control the emperor?
Although the prince is kind, he has to guard against this kind of thing. "The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the throne." People's hearts are far away from each other. After all, it is the throne, who doesn't want it?
Therefore, Xue Xiang asked if he could see the emperor. If he could, then the emperor was probably really ill.
The old eunuch smiled and said: "Of course, if the old Ministry of Industry wants to see the emperor, he can ask for it after the court."
Xue Xiang nodded, stood back without saying anything more.
Seeing that none of the ministers had any doubts, Zhu Biao said, "Since I am supervising the country today and presiding over the court meeting, let's discuss Guo Huan's case first."
Boom!
Zhu Biao's words were like dropping a huge bomb among the officials. They were shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.
Even the six ministers didn't understand what was going on. They looked at each other and couldn't help but wonder, did the prince want to... A look of shock appeared in several people's eyes, followed by a burst of ecstasy.
After the old eunuch announced that Abbot Zhu Biao would preside over the court meeting, he turned around and left, arriving at Qianqing Palace. Lao Zhu has a good appetite today. For breakfast alone, he has fried mutton, rotten goose, pork with stir-fried cabbage, vegetarian soup with clear sauce, steamed pig's trotters, two-cooked pan-fried fresh fish, etc.
"Your Majesty." The old eunuch walked to Lao Zhu and called softly.
"Has the morning started?" Lao Zhu concentrated on the food on the table and asked without raising his head.
The old eunuch bowed slightly and replied: "It has already begun."
"My dragon is slightly ailing. Do any of the officials want to see me if they find out?" Lao Zhu asked.
"have."
"How many are there?" Lao Zhu continued to ask, as if this matter was somewhat important to Lao Zhu.
The old eunuch replied truthfully: "Xue Xiang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu suddenly raised his head and stared into the old eunuch's eyes, and asked angrily: "Is he the only one?"
The old eunuch did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "Yes."
Lao Zhu suddenly felt that the delicious food on the table no longer tasted good. He threw away the chopsticks in his hand and lost his appetite. He stood up and walked a few steps, staring in the direction of Fengtian Temple. After a while, he sneered and said, "You are such a good minister of mine."
