"I'm brave." Gu Chen gritted his teeth and said with cupped hands: "It is indeed a serious crime to use dragon and phoenix arbitrarily, but Marquis Deqing is a military commander and his background is not obvious."
"There are cases where you don't pay attention for a while. You can reduce your title or demote you as a punishment."
I don't know what Lao Zhu's mentality is, so he can only reply in a normal manner.
Lao Zhu seemed to have expected how he would answer, so he asked directly.
"Tell me, does he have the intention of treason? Or just give him death."
Those who rebelled with him, who knows if they will rebel of their own one day?
"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."
Gu Chen saw that Lao Zhu's face was not very good, but he still felt brave.
"Now the dynasty has just been established, and there are still many wars everywhere. Last month, Japanese pirates attacked Dengzhou and Laizhou, causing countless deaths and injuries."
"My humble opinion, I feel that rather than throwing away a pair of chopsticks that are still usable, it would be better to keep them in the basket and make do with them."
"I am young and ignorant, and I said something bad. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Gu Chen did not forget his duty, which was to be the censor.
The emperor wanted a censor who could talk, not be a flatterer.
Can you still use the chopsticks?
Lao Zhu thought this was very interesting. Seeing that he was not trying to please himself, he followed his own words and felt that this person at least had good character.
"Today, when you go back, go do things with Han Yike."
"He is a good master and will definitely teach a good apprentice. Go ahead."
As for how to treat Liao Yongzhong, he didn't say, so it was naturally impossible for Gu Chen to ask.
If you eat too much, your brain will be numb, but it's not you who is worried anyway.
Why talk so much?
As for following Han Yike, Gu Chen was quite willing.
Han Yike, whose courtesy name was Bo Shi, was the successor of Han Qi, the Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty!
During the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty, Shitai, the censor of the Yuan Dynasty, recruited him to be an official, but Han Yike resolutely refused, which shows that he was a loyal and upright person.
After arriving at Lao Zhu's place, he was recommended to be awarded the Shanyin Edict.
In the seventh year of Hongwu, that is, at the beginning of this year, Chen Ning was promoted to the position of Zhongcheng of the Left Censor, and Chen Ning was promoted to the position of Zhongcheng of the Right Censor. They were of the same rank.
But historically, he should be just like himself at this time, just a supervisory censor.
Lao Han has a very upright personality. He never avoids impeachment against powerful people. Even Lao Zhu takes the blame without hesitation. Together with Yu Qian and Hai Rui, he can be called the Ming Dynasty's Iron Trio.
Moreover, he is the team leader.
Historically, in the ninth year of Hongwu's reign, Lao Zhu trusted Hu Weiyong too much.
Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, imperial censor Chen Ning, and Zhongcheng Tujie were favored by Lao Zhu.
One day, these three people were sitting next to Ming Taizu, chatting and laughing leisurely, but Han Yike rushed in with Tanwen in his arms and began to curse.
"You three, you are sinister yet appear to be loyal ministers, you are treacherous yet appear to be upright, and you are restless just because of your merits and favors."
"I have been acting arrogant and domineering in the court all day long, and I don't know how to restrain myself."
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to cut off the heads of these three people directly, and use the canonical method to apologize to everyone in the world."
This move shocked Lao Zhu and he immediately pretended to be furious.
"Kuaikou Censor, if you dare to seduce the minister, you will be dragged down by us and thrown into death row."
However, after one night, Lao Zhu released the people again.
It is true that Zhu Yuanzhang was a ruthless emperor, and it was true that he was a little ruthless towards his old brothers, but at the same time, he was also a wise king.
He knew that Han Yike was loyal to Ming Dynasty.
Gu Chen's original boss was Chen Ning, the right censor Zhongcheng.
That Hu Weiyong's licking dog will have to die with Lao Hu sooner or later. It's good for him to find a boss to follow him in advance.
Avoid being implicated!
However, Lao Han's head was a bit too strong during the Lan Jade case.
This old Han even went so far as to accuse Lao Zhu of killing innocent people indiscriminately and being a coward.
If you follow a person like this, you may not be able to continue fishing in the future.
But then again, this man died of illness while in office and was not killed by Lao Zhu, so he didn't have to worry about what would happen to him.
The office of Zuo Yushi is right next door to that of Right Yushi.
After he went back, he started to pack his things. Lao Zhu had already recognized him as master and apprentice, couldn't he change his work station?
Everyone looked sympathetic when they heard that he had gone to the next door.
"Master Gu, we censors are already poor."
"Stay here. Mr. Chen can treat us to some meat dishes every now and then."
"If you go to Mr. Han's place in the future, I'm afraid you won't have this good fortune."
Gu Chen was cheerful in his heart, but he was serious on the outside.
"Your Majesty is as kind as heaven. If your Majesty tells your ministers to go west, there is no reason for them to go east."
"Besides, where can I be a minister, if not His Majesty's minister?"
"As long as I can do something for the world, even if I resign and go home to farm, in my heart, that would be beautiful."
What about the good taste?
Eat more.
In the future, he will be classified as a member of Hu Weiyong's party and beheaded. At that time, it is still unclear who will envy whom.
When changing leaders, of course you have to say goodbye to the old leader.
Just like if you change tutors, you should also be polite to the original tutor.
"Xiaguan has been at Yushitai for many years and has received a lot of care from Mr. Chen."
"But it is hard to disobey the emperor's order. I have to go next door today."
Not to mention how happy he would be if he didn't work with you, a smiling tiger.
Because he offended Hu Weiyong, Chen Ning originally did not want to keep Gu Chen.
Now that His Majesty has spoken, he has solved this problem for himself.
It's not impossible to give it to the next door, but it will have to be fake on the surface.
After the pretense was over, Gu Chen carried his things and went to the next door.
Unlike the leisurely people on the right, the gentlemen on the left censor's side are quite busy.
Everyone rolled up their sleeves and worked hard to write memorials, and some even had steamed buns in their mouths.
Even if you are choking, you must insist on writing the last word before drinking water.
"This Zhu Huan was demoted to the county magistrate after making mistakes."
"But as a relative of the emperor and a guilty person, he has no intention of repenting."
"He actually levied excessive taxes in the local area, oppressed the good people, and raped the women of the people. He is really a heinous person."
"I must consult him. If Your Majesty continues to shield and fail to deal with him, then I will go to Fengtian Palace to remonstrate with him."
Gu Chen was attracted by the voice of an old man. He saw an old man in Liuxunqing official clothes, who was writing a memorial and cursing at the same time.
All the saliva sprayed on the memorial.
"Pfft."
Thinking of the memorial that Lao Zhu held when he arrived, all of which looked like the old man's saliva, Gu Chen couldn't help laughing.
His smile didn't matter, but it successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered something, so I wasn't laughing..."
I'm not laughing at my colleagues.
But his explanation seemed to have no effect. Everyone just glanced at him and continued to work.
Gu Chen: "..."
It seems that the new department is a little bit complicated.
