He was called a strange man by Lao Zhu. The last person to receive this title was Wang Baobao.
However, when he was young, he went to pick up Han Liner and responded to Tianlai.
When arriving at Guabu, the boat capsized and Han Liner died, but Lao Zhu blamed Liao Yongzhong for this.
He said that he sent Confucian scholars to spy on his intentions, and the Duke who was supposed to be granted the title became a prince.
Historically, Liao Yongzhong was sentenced to death by Lao Zhu because of his misuse of dragon and phoenix.
Seeing the excitement among the officials, Gu Chen felt some sympathy for Liao Yongzhong in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded in agreement with their words.
"Marquis Deqing, you really don't understand the rules and you really deserve to be demoted."
The unauthorized use of dragons and phoenixes is actually a crime not worthy of death for a great hero like Liao.
However, Liao and the corrupt official Yang Xian were close, and Lao Zhu clearly wanted to incriminate him, so why bother?
It's just a pity that the Ming Dynasty lost another general.
Liao's water battle is so good, wouldn't it be nice to fight against the Japanese pirates' gold and silver mountains?
Not long before the morning court started, the trolls at Yushitai jumped out impatiently.
With his clever mouth, he transformed Liao Yongzhong from a decorated general into an ambitious and treacherous minister.
He even said the word "thief".
Liao Yongzhong's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't refute a word.
The Hou Mansion is so big, with some dragon and phoenix patterns.
He couldn't check them one by one. It can be said that this pot was a bit unfair.
However, since his contribution was so great, he guessed that the most he could do was to lose his rank.
It wouldn't cost him his life, so it wasn't like he couldn't accept it.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was at the head, looked at Liao Yongzhong's changing face and sneered in his heart.
In Yang Xian's case, there is even an iron scroll to vouch for him.
This time he wanted to see what guarantee Liao Yongzhong could use.
There are not many wars nowadays, and it is too dangerous to keep these arrogant generals.
Still, let's deal with them one by one. As for whether I am worthy of these good brothers.
Then let's talk about it in the next life, and compensate them in the next life.
Zhu Biao looked at Uncle Liao with worry in his heart.
He knew that his father had murderous intentions, and he was afraid that Uncle Liao would not escape death.
Soon, Lao Zhu discovered.
The little censor whom I was optimistic about just stood up and stated his position along with his colleagues, but no one criticized Liao from the beginning to the end.
Why, what is he thinking?
In the court, Lao Zhu was not in a hurry to deal with it. He just temporarily let Liao Yongzhong shut up and think about his mistakes, and then asked Gu Chen to stay alone.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to stay?"
Gu Chen looked at the eunuch Yun Qi in front of him, his tone full of fear.
Could it be that Lao Zhu was trying to settle his own score over the last fight?
"Master Gu, the emperor indeed invites you to come over."
Unlike other eunuchs who have high eyesight, this eunuch from Xiao Yunqi is very amiable.
no way.
Gu Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow, praying in his heart that it would be best for the prince to be by Lao Zhu's side.
This scene fell into Hu Weiyong's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"What does the superior want to do with the censor?"
He still had an impression of this censor. He had just warned him two months ago.
Did he make a mistake today, or is the superior trying to promote him?
What does it mean to be promoted to a higher position just after one of your own has been tested?
"Master Prime Minister, should I ask someone to inquire?"
Chen Ning, a big loser, naturally pulled him up immediately.
"Well, okay, thank you for your hard work."
Hu Weiyong is now the right prime minister, and there is no left prime minister in the court.
If you are, you really want to be inferior to one person.
Then you have to know what your superiors are thinking at all times, so that you can ensure that what you do satisfies your superiors.
Gu Chen came to Fengtian Hall and knelt down to Lao Zhu according to the rules.
"Your Majesty, Gu Chen, Yushitai, has met your Majesty."
In fact, before the Tang Dynasty, most of the courtiers bowed to the emperor after seeing him, and then sat down to talk to the emperor.
In the Song Dynasty, they were standing, but the purple-clad ministers could still sit.
In the Ming Dynasty, it depends on the official position.
If the official position is small, you have to kneel down and worship the emperor for the first time.
If the emperor calls you, you can stand and talk to the emperor.
Of course, people like Xu Da and Hu Weiyong do not need to kneel down except in formal occasions, and they can also sit and talk.
But in the Qing Dynasty, people had to kneel three times and kowtow nine times to the emperor, and they also had to kneel before going to court to talk to the emperor.
Because the emperor is seated, wouldn’t you have to look down on the emperor if you stand?
This made the emperors of the Qing Dynasty extremely unhappy, so they had to kneel down to speak. If the ministers were old, they could use soft cushions.
That's it, it depends on whether you have enough portion.
No matter how long the two sides talk, the minister must kneel down to speak.
"Get up." Lao Zhu seemed to be easy to talk to, and his tone was gentle: "I have read your memorial, and the handwriting is very good."
As a man with mud legs, Lao Zhu has a natural respect for scholars who are good at writing and reading, but this respect does not prevent him from killing people.
Moreover, this does not include slaves with three surnames like the Kong family.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
He pretended to look up inadvertently, but found that the prince was not there at the moment. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little drumming in his heart.
"A few days ago," Lao Zhu said, "I heard that you and another censor had a fight at the censor's platform. You were really brave."
Seeing that the young man was playing solo for the first time, he was not worried, and he was a little happy.
What a censor needs is courage.
This is indeed what happened!
Gu Chen couldn't help but closed his eyes, and knelt down on the ground with a heartbeat.
"Your Majesty, I am frivolous and don't know etiquette. This is really wrong. I just got married and I don't want my daughter-in-law to become a widow."
"I would like to resign and go home to think about my mistakes behind closed doors. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
As the saying goes, the King of Hell also talks about three points of human kindness.
Even if you, Lao Zhu, are reincarnated as the King of Hell, you can't be so inhumane and turn a teenage girl into a widow, right?
"Okay." Lao Zhu said with a smile, "Your brother and sister-in-law have been selling steamed buns and buns for more than ten years before they brought you to where you are now."
"If you resign, how will you treat your family?"
He is also a child from a poor family, so he also knows that this is unrealistic.
"Let me ask you, what do you think we should do with Marquis Deqing?"
Lao Zhu's eyes were dark, obviously it would be easier to talk about it once it was settled.
If that was not the case, Gu Chen would have to be more careful.
"Your Majesty, I serve in the Yushitai, and it is only right to seek my position in this position. Your Majesty forgives me for this matter of punishment and imprisonment. I dare not speak out."
The censor is just a censor, not an official of the Ministry of Justice.
Lao Zhu, really, why do you want to have trouble with yourself, a Xiao Qipin?
If something offends someone, ask yourself what to do?
"It's okay." Lao Zhu didn't feel angry, but felt a little happy: "You just say it. If you agree, you will be rewarded. If you say something wrong, we will not punish you."
He hates officials who mess around with things the most, like those officials from the Ministry of Revenue who eat from the Ministry of Personnel. These are the officials he hates the most.
Look, this little Gu Yushi is very good.
