What else could it be, he just wanted to have fun with someone else.

But he couldn't say this clearly. He could only keep admitting that his actions were not appropriate and promised that he would never be so impulsive in the future.

He also came to his senses at this time. No matter who was right or wrong between them, as long as he made the first move, he would not be responsible.

However, Gu Guangxi lost eight golden beans today, and eight golden beans were found in his bag. If word spread, it would definitely have an impact on his reputation.

"Su Song took action first. I'll fine him one year's salary and give him ten slaps."

Lao Zhu had figured it out at this time. Xiao Gu was not satisfied with Su Song's casual entry into his study, so he deliberately left it here to retaliate.

"Although Gu Chen took action later, he has done it before. He will be fined three months' salary. Go back and reflect carefully on whether you should fight in the palace."

Although he intended to be partial, he couldn't go too far, so he gave them a symbolic punishment and told them all to get out.

After they left, Lao Zhu laughed and said: "The civil servants under our command are too careless, rolling up their sleeves to fight at every turn."

Sure enough, every emperor has his own officials. His officials are not as elegant as the officials of the old Zhao family. They all swear and fight.

Tough ministers, all tough ministers!

"Guang Xi is also angry. Su Song relies on Zhan Hui and doesn't take him seriously." Biao'er helped Gu Chen speak: "Dad, Guang Xi is different from other civil servants."

After that, he told Lao Zhu what Gu Chen said to Zhu Xiongying at noon.

"Even if other civil servants understand this, they still pretend to be confused because Lord Xu is beneficial to them."

"But Gu Guangxi is different. He is honest, says what he has to say, is not hypocritical, and does not seek power. He is much better than those hypocritical people."

This is what he appreciates most!

"If you didn't talk about it, we would have almost forgotten it." Lao Zhu said immediately: "Our eldest grandson's husband can't all be those rotten old men who accept death."

"Look at that Huang Zicheng. Fortunately, we didn't let him teach our eldest grandson. Otherwise, we don't know what he would have taught our eldest grandson."

"Well, tell Gu Chen that he should spend an hour giving lectures to our eldest grandson every two days. We must not let our eldest grandson be corrupted by those stinky old nine."

"Smelly Laojiu" is a discriminatory remark against intellectuals starting from the Yuan Dynasty.

"Dad, it's okay to call him a rude scholar, but you shouldn't call him a stinky old man."

Zhu Biao reluctantly corrected his father's remarks. They also wanted to revive the culture of the Tang and Song Dynasties. How could they call someone stinky Lao Jiu?

No matter how bad Huang Zicheng is, he is always good at editing books.

"Chengchengcheng, let's listen to you, as long as we don't talk about smelly old nine, that's it, right?"

Lao Zhu asked his children and grandchildren to listen to the words of those saints, just to let them control the officials, not to let the emperor be controlled by the officials.

"Yes, my son knows." Remembering that Guang Xi had just thrown out the busiest Zhejiang Road and it shouldn't be too busy, Zhu Biao did not refuse.

"Dad, don't worry, that kid Xiongying will never be taught bad things."

When he listened to Gu Chen speak today, the child was beaming with joy and nodded repeatedly. It seemed that he agreed with Gu Chen's point of view.

"That's the best."

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. Lao Zhu is still a little worried.

When Gu Chen returned home, he felt that the atmosphere at home was a bit strange. The servants, men, women and children all stared at him.

The eyes were inquiring, smiling, and somewhat sympathetic.

"I'm really full!"

Gu Chen just thought about it for a moment and knew that it must be his constipation. Now it has been spread to everyone in the city.

Su Wanying knew that her husband didn't have this problem and was just hiding in the groom's room, so she didn't talk about this embarrassing thing again.

But when she saw her husband's face lit up, she immediately couldn't sit still, put down the account book in her hand, and rushed forward anxiously.

"Ah, how did this happen? Did someone hit you?"

But it shouldn’t be. It took my husband more than ten years to get to where he is today. Not many people in the court dare to offend him?

"Taozi, go get the medicinal wine." After giving the order, she touched the bruises on her husband's face distressedly, and two tears fell instantly: "Which bastard dares to do such a heavy hand to you?"

Gu Chen looked at her with a smile and said nothing, and Su Wanying cried harder.

"You tell me, I want to talk to him about the truth, why should I hit him?"

Hit someone in the face or not, don’t you know how important face is to people?

"If it was His Royal Highness who beat him, His Majesty did it." Gu Chen approached his wife and asked, "Then are you still trying to reason with him?"

"Tell me what I have to say." Su Wanying said anxiously: "Even if you make a mistake and deserve a slap in the face, you can't slap me in the face."

The emperor and the prince can't act recklessly, how can they do anything to a man's face.

She wiped her tears, stood up and said, "I will hand the post to the palace now and ask to see the Queen to ask what the truth is."

Seeing that she was actually going to do it, Gu Chen quickly stretched out his hand to pull her back.

"No, it was me and Su Song who were fighting. Don't worry, I didn't suffer at all. I only got one glitch on my face, while he suffered three or four."

"His Majesty also fined him a year's salary and gave him ten strokes of the imperial cane."

The daughter-in-law is so courageous that she actually dares to enter the palace and ask the emperor and prince for an explanation.

"Get a slap in the face, you didn't get a slap in the face, did you?"

When Su Wanying heard this, she couldn't help but become more anxious and wanted to take off her pants when she came up.

"Hey, what are you doing in broad daylight?"

Her actions scared Gu Chen so much that he picked up his pants and ran away. There were four maids in the room.

What an inconvenience!

At this time, Taozi came back after taking the medicine. When he saw this, he took all the snickering girls out, and even closed the door thoughtfully to leave them some space.

Seeing how quickly he moved, Su Wanying breathed a sigh of relief.

"Su Song, is this the Su Song who visited you this morning?"

There are no secrets in the capital. Whoever was involved in the morning will be known to all the people in the capital in the afternoon, let alone people like them.

"Yeah, that bastard." Speaking of him, Gu Chen was very angry: "If it hadn't been for the book he took, I wouldn't have to leave work half an hour late in the future."

How much can you do in half an hour?

"Hmph, you deserve it." Su Wanying curled her lips and stretched out her pink fist to give her husband a blow: "If you were not careful, how many people had to remind you to pay attention?"

Opening the medicine bottle, Su Wanying carefully applied the medicine to him, not forgetting to blow gently.

"It hurts. My husband, can you bear it?"

It is said that men always like eighteen-year-old girls. Gu Chen thinks he likes eighteen-year-old girls, but women in their thirties are not bad either.

Especially during Su Wanying's period, her whole body smelled of milk and milk.

He couldn't help but swallow as he smelled the scent of milk that was so close to his nose.

But in the end, reason prevailed over emotion, and it has only been forty days.

Bear with it, bear with it some more, but your eyes will still glance at you from time to time.

"Where are you looking?"

Everyone is an old married couple, but Su Wanying is not ashamed at all.

"How about you take a closer look?"

Gu Chen: "...Don't be ashamed. Since my wife invites you, then I'll just have to watch it as my husband."

He touched his nose, but couldn't help but move forward seductively.

Not long after, the lady's coquettish voice sounded in the room.

"Ms. sir, you are so annoying!"

In the 19th year of Hongwu, on the eighth day of June, Liao Yongzhong wrote a letter saying that 80% to 90% of the Japanese pirates had been wiped out, and maritime trade in Fujian could be opened.

The remaining ones won't become a problem. They can just suppress them slowly while patrolling.

After Lao Zhu received the memorial, he convened people to discuss how to collect taxes.

"The business tax of our Ming Dynasty is thirty to one, and some things are even tax-free, but that's because they are the subjects of my Ming Dynasty."

"But maritime trade is about doing business with foreigners, and we don't want others to take advantage of us, so how should we set this tax?"
