Yu Min was so anxious that he was sweating. He covered his face with a wat board and shook his head at Gu Chen, indicating that he didn't know about it either.
Gu Chen took a deep breath. Looking at the enemy's posture, he must have been prepared for it. How could he let them know in advance?
He stepped out of the queue, cupped his hands and said, "I made an oversight, and I hope your Majesty will punish you."
In any case, things have happened, and it is reasonable for people to say that you were negligent.
It’s useless to say more!
If Lao Zhu wants to be punished, he will be punished. The worst he can do is to be demoted, which is no big deal. Anyway, he has a good standard. Isn't it easy to be promoted back?
Seeing that his attitude was so good, Lao Zhu felt satisfied and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere and get this matter away from Lao Han and Gu Chen.
"This is none of your business." Censor Ding Ting stood up at this time and spoke for Gu Chen: "Liu Zhiren was appointed to the position of Censor later this year."
"Master Gu was not in the capital at that time, and he had never met Liu Zhiren. It was not Master Gu who transferred him to Huai'an. How could he be blamed on Master Gu?"
He quickly winked at Yu Min, signaling him to speak for Mr. Gu quickly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's my fault." Yu Min received the signal from his colleagues and stood up quickly: "It's my fault that I appointed the wrong person. Mr. Gu was not in the capital at that time. This really doesn't concern Mr. Gu. "
As a good person as Mr. Gu, he cannot take the blame for his mistakes.
"It's a joke. I wasn't in the capital at that time, but aren't I here now?"
Su Song had made up his mind to suppress this guy Gu Chen for Master Zhan, so naturally he would not let him speak, so he immediately cursed.
"Master Gu has been back in Beijing for two months, why haven't you supervised your subordinates?"
"I pinch it all day long, pinch it when I go home, take a nap at noon, and spend nearly half an hour squatting on the toilet. Is it possible to be an official like this?"
He was right about what he said, and Lao Zhu also knew it. He nodded with deep sympathy. Xiao Gu, as an official, was indeed more leisurely than he, the emperor.
He didn't even dare to urinate when he was busy. Xiao Gu squatted for half an hour. This was just after going to court and he had nothing to do.
Although Zhu Biao was a little angry, there was nothing he could do to speak for Gu Chen.
Su Song continued: "If everyone is an official like this, what should happen to the world and what should be done to the people? Since Mr. Gu is not tired from eating, he should go home and rest. He can squat in his own latrine as long as he wants."
"Don't hold an important position but fail to do things for the court. What's the difference between this and occupying a manhole and not doing anything?"
The hostility of these words was so strong that all the officials in the court had different ideas.
If you have a good relationship with Gu Chen, you can't help but worry about him. If you have a bad relationship with Gu Chen, you will naturally be happy. Zhan Hui couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth several times.
As for the other officials, most of them were watching the show. They were usually scolded by the trolls from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but now it was so exciting to see them having internal strife.
"How come Mr. Gu can't do things for the court?" Chen Baochuan saw that his good brother was scolded and immediately said: "The six criminals in Guo Huan's case were all Mr. Gu's ginseng."
"Master Gu has been an official for twelve years, and has been serving as the censor. He has never failed to serve as an official. Master Su, do you want to erase Master Gu's achievements by opening your mouth?"
"Then why don't you come and go? Mr. Gu has been an official for twelve years and has never been late. Why didn't you tell me?"
"As for going to the toilet for a long time, that's Mr. Gu's problem... but it's not good for you later. Your Highness the Crown Prince also asked the imperial doctor to look at it for Mr. Gu. Why is it in Mr. Su's eyes?"
Other censors may catch people and criticize them randomly, but his brother Gu never does this. If others criticize ten people, five of them will be good.
As for his brother Gu, if he sprays ten people, all ten of them can be effective.
Isn't it funny if you say that such a godly man can't do anything?
It's really shameless to bring up the private matter of going to the toilet for a long time to impeach.
Su Song sneered and said, "I know Mr. Chen and Mr. Gu are so good that they can wear a pair of trousers, but this is the court, a place where official matters are discussed, not a place for you to make friends or talk about friendship."
Chen Baochuan was so angry that he fell back. What he was talking about was obviously business.
And it’s well-founded!
Where are the cliques and friendships? Can you please stop talking nonsense?
Seeing that Chen Baochuan wanted to speak, Gu Chen quickly stopped him with his eyes.
Still admitting his mistake, he said: "I made an oversight, please forgive me."
Zhan Hui hated himself. It seemed that he had to think of a way to encourage Lao Zhu Tan Ding to marry him in advance, and then let him die quickly.
If you let him continue to press on your head, you don't know how much you will suffer from such a secret loss.
"I also made an oversight in this matter." Han Yike also stood up and did not defend himself: "Gu Chen is not in Beijing, but I am in Beijing. This mistake is my fault alone. I hope your Majesty will punish you."
Although your Majesty is not ignorant of right from wrong and is willing to listen to the slanderous words of villains.
But as the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, if something like this happens to one of his subordinates, he should be imprisoned.
"Your Majesty, Master Gu and Master Han cannot be blamed for this matter."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty,..."
Then Fan Congwen, Ling Han and others all stood up to speak for Gu Chen.
Although Ling Han didn't work with Gu Chen much, he had heard about his deeds.
He has been a censor for more than ten years and has never been dismissed from office. How could such a person be so bad?
Seeing that everyone was speaking for Gu Chen, Zhan Hui, although his face remained calm, was actually already turbulent inside, and he wanted to beat Gu Chen to death.
"Father." At this time, Zhu Biao, who had been holding back, also spoke up: "My son thinks that what Su Song said is wrong, if it is based on his theory."
"The people under Gu Chen and Han Yike made mistakes behind the back of their superiors. It was an oversight and a serious crime. So what kind of crime did the son and father commit?"
"Hu Weiyong, Guo Huan, Kong Yin, the officials who committed the crime were all selected by the father and son. Should the father and son also take the blame and resign?"
The good old man shielded Gu Chen openly, and Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows to show his understanding.
He coughed and looked at Su Song, who was standing aside with a pale face, and said calmly.
"Su Song, the prince is right, is this what you mean?"
"boom!"
Su Song immediately knelt down heavily with both legs and hit his forehead heavily on the cold ground, his voice trembling with fear.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I don't dare, I don't dare..."
How dare he ask the emperor and prince to resign, even if they don't want the seeds in their heads?
When Zhan Hui saw this, he immediately came out and said: "It is the censor's duty to report things after hearing the news. Mr. Su is also thinking about the court, and this is not what he meant."
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I believe that Master Han and Master Gu are both loyal to the emperor and the country. It is normal for them to make occasional oversights, and they should be forgiven."
The bad things are done by his subordinates, but he himself still has to pretend to be a good person.
Although no one believes it!
"Okay, okay, let's all get up." Although Lao Zhu didn't like him, he thought he was still needed, so he started to make peace with him.
"A horse stumbles and a man stumbles. Han Yike and Gu Chen cannot be blamed for this matter. Su Song's impeachment is not wrong. Please be more vigilant in the future. We will not pursue this matter further."
"Gu Chen, you..."
Lao Zhu originally wanted Gu Chen to use the toilet less often and come earlier and leave later, so as not to make it difficult for him and Biao'er to do these small things.
But thinking of Chen Baochuan's defense, he felt that there was nothing to say about this matter. Xiao Gu's constipation had not happened for a day or two.
He has been like this since he was an official since he was a child. It is well known that he can still hold it in and not pull it off?
But in private, Lao Zhu still asked: "Xiao Gu, can your disease be cured? Can't you let Dr. Xiao take a look at it?"
This trivial matter has been brought to the court. It is estimated that in a short time, the whole capital will know about Gu Chen's constipation, and he will be ashamed for Gu Chen.
