Guo Huan was upright. If Gu Chen and the others had not already had evidence in their hands, they would have been easily deceived by him now.
"Then, Mr. Guo, let's talk about it."
"If it is found that Mr. Guo is corrupt, what should Mr. Guo do?"
Gu Chen actually acted so aggressively towards a second-rank minister in the court. The ministers all looked at him slightly, dissatisfied with his move.
Han Yi was not in a hurry to stop his people, but just closed his eyes and fell asleep.
It was as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Zhan Hui raised his head cautiously and saw that the emperor was not only not angry, but also did not stop him, and there was even a smile in his eyes.
His heart skipped a beat, he noticed something, and he quickly swallowed the words that came to his lips.
who cares?
He is not his disciple, so if anything really has nothing to do with him.
Guo Huanqi's heart ached, but he also knew that he had to be tougher today in order to dispel the emperor's current suspicion.
Therefore, he loudly said: "If I take a penny or a grain of rice from the court, then I will be divided into five pieces and the nine tribes will be destroyed."
"Gu Yushi, may I ask, are you satisfied?"
He gritted his teeth and spoke every word, wanting to tear Gu Chen into pieces.
"Okay."
He was half dead with anger, but Gu Chen was calm and about to return to the queue.
"etc."
Seeing that he was about to return to the queue, Guo Huan hurriedly stopped him and questioned him.
"I have already sworn an oath, if it is proven that I am clean."
"What should you do with the procuratorate? Are you taking the blame and resigning?"
"Or, you should use your nine clans as security, Qiu Ye, Gu Chen, at the very least, you two should give me an explanation, right?"
He is not the kind of person who wants to shape his face and flatten it as he pleases.
If he were to avoid this calamity, he would have to tell the Metropolitan Procuratorate to get rid of these two people.
"What's the problem? I'll do it..."
Qiu Ye, a young and energetic man, immediately rushed out to meet his conditions.
"what are you doing?"
"No hurries?"
"Did your parents give you a brain?"
Gu Chen quickly grabbed him and gave him a hard blow.
"It's your responsibility to report something after hearing the news. What did you swear?"
"If Shangshu Guo is really greedy, then he deserves to die. If he is not greedy, then everyone is happy. What does it have to do with you and your nine tribes?"
"What's wrong with your nine clans?"
"Some people are so hard-hearted that they can just swear on themselves."
"He also involves his own nine clans. Do his nine clans know about this?"
"I didn't even do anything, and my head was used to swear oaths."
"How miserable!"
Whoever is a member of the Nine Clan with this kind of person will be really unlucky for eight lifetimes.
Not only was he forced to swear a poisonous oath, he was also forced to say so.
Guo Huan's face turned the color of pig liver with anger. He pointed at Gu Chen and said:
"You...obviously...it's obviously you who is being aggressive...that's why I..."
If this word gets out, then those people in his family will hate him to death?
"Don't dare, Guo Shangshu, I didn't force you to swear by the nine clans."
"You have to swear by the nine clans, and why are you blaming me?"
No matter what, Gu Chen would not swear on his family.
Is this different from killing someone?
"Gu Guangxi, you have such a mouth." Zhu Biao suddenly pointed at Gu Chen from a long distance away and said with a smile: "He is a disciple of Lord Han."
After saying that, his expression became serious: "Guo Huan, since you said you are not greedy and you also swore an oath, my father and I will believe you for the time being."
"Gu Guangxi, when you get back, send the censor to investigate the case in western Zhejiang."
"Father, my son thinks that what Gu Guangxi said is right."
"Um?"
Lao Zhu was happy to see the excitement, and when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at the big boy.
"What words?"
He felt that everything Gu Guangxi said was right, and he was an angry master who would not pay for his life.
"What's wrong with the Nine Tribes?" Zhu Biao said softly: "No matter if it's true or not, the Nine Tribes are always involved too widely. If it's true, my son thinks that the three Tribes will be fine."
From now on, the three clans cannot bear much favor from Guo Huan, but they are implicated in death by Guo Huan. This is more or less unjustifiable.
"Oh, yes, okay."
Lao Zhu would never show off his pride in front of outsiders.
What's more, this is a great thing to do to improve his son's reputation.
"Just do as the prince says." Lao Zhu looked at Guo Huan and said seriously: "Guo Huan, we have already given you a chance."
"The prince speaks for you like this again. If you disappoint us and the prince, don't say that we are unkind when the time comes?"
Guo Huan was scared to death, but on the surface he looked upright.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have a clear conscience."
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Lao Zhu didn't expose him, but he had already written down the people who spoke for Guo Huan in the court today.
However, he said cheerfully: "Okay, okay, everyone, go and do your own business. It's cold today."
"It's almost the Chinese New Year, and it's snowing again. The Queen has asked someone to cook a lot of mutton soup. Someone will deliver it to you soon."
"Let's all have a drink to warm ourselves up."
After saying that, Lao Zhu stood up with a smile and asked the elder to play chess with him.
"Boss, play chess with dad for a while."
Talking about playing chess, but actually talking, Lao Zhu asked tentatively.
"Boss, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
Zhu Biao handed the black piece to his father, while he took the white piece and thought for a while.
"Dad, my son thinks that few powerful people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are easy to deal with. We can take this opportunity to clean up some of them."
Firstly, it will replenish the national treasury, and secondly, the confiscated land can be given to ordinary people who live in difficulty. It is a good thing for the people no matter how you look at it.
Hearing this, Lao Zhu made a black move first and said with some meaning.
"Then Chief Criminal, we have to choose one carefully."
He is destined to be the scapegoat, but he cannot choose someone who can be of great use, lest the time will be wasted, which will also make him feel distressed.
But you can’t find someone who is too stupid, lest things don’t turn out beautifully enough.
If you want to find someone, look for someone who only wants to climb the ladder and wants to be promoted, but his character is not very good, but his brain is pretty good.
Since such a person can get things done, it would not be unjust or a pity if he dies taking the blame in the future.
"Yes, Dad." Zhu Biao gently put Bai Zi down and smiled very gently: "Dad, I want Guang Xi to enter the Huagai Hall and help Dad handle some things."
Guo Huan's matter was too involved, and he actually didn't want Guang Xi to be too involved.
"Okay, you have the final say." Lao Zhu said with a smile: "You are a filial child. I know you feel sorry for our hard work, so I just obey you."
"After the Chinese New Year, I will ask Gu Guangxi, who is also a bachelor of Huagaidian, to help us lighten some of the work. However, we should still let him go on jury duty."
"When you accumulate experience, you should also wake up to yourself. You should know what you should do and what you shouldn't do. If you don't have taboos in your heart, something will happen."
"As for Guo Huan's case, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will let Zhan Hui follow the whole process when the time comes."
"Let Wu Yong be the one in charge of the punishment. Doesn't he want to do something big?"
Lao Han is quite good, and he is getting old, so don’t get involved in it.
These grand bachelors are actually just consultant positions.
This was the predecessor of the cabinet.
However, Lao Zhu is a person who has a strong desire for power and control.
Therefore, these bachelors were not given much power.
When General Zhengbei came to power, academicians began to gradually develop into representatives of powerful ministers. By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the power of the chief minister of the cabinet was like that of the prime minister.
Entering the pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister is exactly what the students of the Ming Dynasty pursued throughout their lives.
How did Guo Huan know that the emperor, the prince, and the executioner who would chop off other people's heads had already thought about it? At this time, he thought he was fine.
They are making crazy arrangements, fearing that the patrol censor will find something.
