Su Wanying looked at her daughter lovingly, but deliberately apologized to him.
"My husband, I'm sorry, I couldn't give birth to a fat boy for my husband."
Before Gu Chen could speak, Mrs. Yan on the side quickly smiled and comforted him.
"What's wrong with that? Boys and girls have their own destiny. How can ordinary people like us control it?"
"Hello, my daughter. My daughter is well-behaved and obedient. She is my parents' little cotton-padded jacket. In the future, my little sister will help you when you apply rouge and gouache."
She didn't have a daughter herself, so she was happier to see this little thing now than when she gave birth to Brother Hao.
Gu Chen nodded hurriedly, expressing his agreement with what his sister-in-law said.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Su Wanying didn't have much strength, but she still looked at Gu Chen and said.
"Ms. sir, would you like to give our daughter a name?"
In fact, the couple had prepared this name for a long time. They had thought of more than a dozen names, but they had not yet finalized it.
"Sir, Mr. Han from Yushitai has sent someone to ask you to come to the office."
At this time, Han Yike sent someone, and Shangfeng sent someone to invite him, so he had to go.
But here is my wife...
"My husband, go ahead. You can't help the woman at home."
Su Wanying knew what he was thinking, so she immediately smiled gently and made a decision for her husband.
As long as he has this heart, it will be fine.
In the officialdom, career is the most important thing.
The higher the child's father climbs, the higher the child's status will be in the future.
Gu Chen originally wanted to refuse, but thinking about the battle at Jinwu Guard, he decided to go there.
When he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned around immediately.
"Let's call my daughter Shu Ning. I hope she will be safe, smooth and comfortable throughout her life, so her nickname will be Ping An."
I don’t ask for great wealth, I don’t ask for high-ranking officials and generous salaries, I just want that my whole family can live in peace and contentment for the rest of my life.
"good."
Su Wanying smiled weakly, obviously liking this name too.
Left Yushitai.
Han Yike and several colleagues were anxiously running around in the office. When Gu Chen arrived, they quickly pulled him along.
"Guangxi, this is terrible, Zheng Shiyuan was taken away by Jinwu Guards."
"Gao Yiran and Fan Congwen were also taken away. I heard that His Majesty issued an order to thoroughly investigate the matter of Kongyin."
"Whether it's the chief seal official or anyone with knowledge of the incident, they will all be jailed for rigorous interrogation. I'm afraid this case will involve a lot of things."
"I heard from Mr. Liu that this time I am afraid that hundreds or even thousands of people will be imprisoned. I am afraid that the local censors will also be..."
The training of these officials is not something that can be done just by opening their mouths, if they are all put in jail.
Who will do so much work?
His Majesty's move was really foolish, but His Majesty refused to see him.
"Teacher, don't worry..."
"Master Gu, your Majesty invites you."
Gu Chen was about to say something to comfort Lao Han, but he saw Eunuch Yunqi next to Lao Zhu coming over.
Different from the smiling face before, it was replaced by a serious face.
It can be seen that going here is not a good thing.
"Master Yunqi." Seeing this, Han Yi felt even more worried. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Do you know why your Majesty is looking for Gu Yushi?"
As he spoke, he even reached into his arms and took out a few coins.
"But for Kongyin?"
"Gu Yushi doesn't have a hand seal. I wonder if there is some misunderstanding?"
"Sir, you also know that Gu Yushi has always been obedient and never does such lazy things. Please be accommodating, sir."
Seeing that he was so worried about him, Gu Chen was a little moved, remembering the time in modern times.
Every time I defend my thesis, when other tutors deliberately make things difficult for me, only the tutor acts like a chicken guard, protecting me and confronting them.
This old Han is really like his mentor. He is usually strict and unkind, but if something happens, he is the first to protect him.
"Master Han, you should spend it on your own, this is not about money."
"Gu Da, please invite me."
Yunqi was also very helpless. You said that he was also a eunuch beside the emperor.
Can't you give more bribes?
Although he wouldn't dare to ask for more, it would make him feel better, right?
If you want to blame it, you can only blame Yushitai for being too poor.
But then again, the emperor was so angry that his corpse floated thousands of miles away.
I am just a little eunuch, what can I do?
If you talk about political affairs and plead for ministers, your head will have to be moved immediately, right?
In Fengtian Hall, Lao Zhu's face was frighteningly dark.
Zhu Biao stood beside him and couldn't help but worry about Gu Chen.
Although the principal criminals in the Kongyin case do deserve to be punished and demoted.
But if it involves the censors who only know about it and don't know the seriousness of the matter.
This is a bit too much.
It's just that Dad is very angry, so it's better not to add fuel to the fire at this time.
"boom!"
As soon as Gu Chen entered the palace, he was hit on the forehead by a memorial.
Obviously, the culprit is Lao Zhu.
It didn't hurt, but Gu Chen felt the smell of Butcher Zhu's butcher's knife.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Without saying a word, he knelt down and prepared to admit his mistake.
This is not the time to be quarrelsome with others.
"Gu Chen, we are not kind to you, right?" Lao Zhu got down from the throne, pointed at the memorial on the ground and said angrily: "But look at how you repay us."
Lao Zhu was furious. The imperial court supported these officials, but what about them?
They actually bullied the superiors and concealed the truth from the inferiors, and played these little tricks to hide it from him.
And this Gu Chen, who clearly knew about this matter and the seriousness of it, didn't report it, just thinking about not hurting himself.
What a bastard, what a bastard who doesn't know justice.
Gu Chen picked up the memorial and saw the handwriting of Tu Jie, the imperial censor.
It records in detail the conversations he had with several adults on the ship.
He closed the memorial with a snap. No one else was there that day...
Do not have……
King Yan, Zhu Di, is eavesdropping outside the door!
Gu Chen lowered his head, his mind working rapidly, guessing Lao Zhu's intention of calling him over.
The other three insiders have been jailed, and Lao Zhu has no intention of meeting them.
If you only want to see yourself, that means you have a chance.
"Your Majesty." After thinking clearly, Gu Chen hurriedly said: "This matter is indeed my fault, but this bad habit was learned from the Yuan Dynasty."
"This is the case all over the court. I am afraid that I will rush to the ground to report."
"His Majesty will be angry if he knows it. He will involve too many officials and shake the foundation of the country."
"I just thought, don't be too anxious. I'll tell His Majesty after a while."
"But my family is busy with things, and my wife's delivery date is approaching, so I keep putting it off again and again."
"Your Majesty, I really didn't mean not to report it. I even thought of a way to make it less troublesome for the officials who paid the tax rolls."
It would have been impossible to report it, if Lao Zhu’s sword hadn’t been too sharp.
Even if he is beaten to death, it is impossible to bring this matter out and offend the civil and military officials of the court.
Hearing this, Lao Zhu's anger subsided a little, and he raised his eyebrows and asked.
"What method?"
Is it possible that there is a way to teleport three thousand miles without holding one's breath?
Gu Chen's idea was actually very simple. The question was what did Zhu Yuanzhang want to see?
What he wants to see is how much is produced locally, how much tax is paid, and how much is lost.
Since attrition is unavoidable and the Ministry of Household Affairs accepts the inevitable, rather than letting officials run back and forth and causing manpower losses, it would be better to directly change the Ministry of Household Affairs.
For example, if the grain transported from Sichuan costs 20,000 shi, what should be the normal loss? As long as it does not exceed the standard, the Ministry of Revenue will not be embarrassed.
However, it is necessary to indicate the reason behind the account book and report the amount of loss to the emperor.
Although this method is a bit clumsy and rough, it is the most practical.
In modern times, look at the form made by the senior students in the accounting department.
It seems that there are accounts receivable, losses, and finally actual receipts.
It's very clear at a glance.
Seeing that he spoke quickly, Lao Zhu felt relieved and temporarily believed that he was not hiding it on purpose.
But thinking that he dared to speculate on her own thoughts made her still a little angry.
"You are the censor, and your task is to report it. As for whether it will shake the foundation of the country, that is our own business. You shouldn't worry so much. You can go to prison and reflect on it."
