The emperor asked Guo Chongtao: "Prime Minister Guo, are you guilty?" ”

Guo Chongtao hurriedly knelt forward: "Dare to ask the emperor, but I don't know what Guo Chongtao's crime is?" ”

The emperor said: "Guo Chongtao, I came to ask you, there is a person who came to recognize the emperor's relatives to your mansion, why don't you even ask, why don't you even return to me, you make your own opinion, you want to kill that person?" ”

The emperor is right, if there is anyone who comes to recognize the emperor, you should at least talk to me first, and then you can make a claim.

Because that's the emperor's business!

If you don't even ask, if you don't even reply, you're going to kill that person?

If it was someone else, he would be speechless at this time, but Guo Chongtao was not.

Guo Chongtao deserves to be an "expert who can speak well".

Guo Chongtao said: "If you go back to the emperor, the minister thinks so. Your Majesty, you once told the world that the royal family of the previous dynasty had been slaughtered by Zhu Wen. Therefore, the minister thinks that if anyone comes to recognize the emperor in the future, it must be fake. Because the royal family of the previous dynasty has been slaughtered? Therefore, the minister thought that that person must be a fake. The minister also thinks that there is no need to return to the emperor for something like that. ”

Guo Chongtao's law is higher.

Guo Chongtao is also very bold.

Guo Chongtao blamed everything on the emperor.

Guo Chongtao said: Your Majesty, you once said that the royal family of the previous dynasty has been slaughtered, and since it has been slaughtered, where is the royal family of the previous dynasty?

The emperor said, "Oh? ”

*******

Guo Chongtao's words made the emperor speechless.

The emperor said in his heart: Yes! Guo Chongtao's words are not unreasonable!

"...... this?"

However, the emperor is the emperor after all.

The emperor glanced at Kong Qian.

Guo Chongtao's words, the emperor wanted Kong Qian to answer.

The emperor asked Kong Qian: "Kong Aiqing, what do you say about Prime Minister Guo Cheng's words?" ”

When Kong Qian saw the emperor asking, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to answer.

Kong Qian is also very able to say.

Kong Qian said: "If you go back to the emperor, the minister thinks so. The minister was not completely opposed to Guo Chengxiang killing Li Zhiyue. The minister thought that Prime Minister Guo Cheng's killing of Li Zhiyue was a bit too hasty. The minister thinks that if he wants to kill Li Zhiyue, he should also ask and kill him after he understands. Because there are rules in my court. If anyone is stupid, if anyone says something forbidden, there is no need to blame. Now it has not been determined whether Li Zhiyue is a stupid person. Therefore, the minister thought that it was a bit too hasty to kill Li Zhiyue now. And also. Li Zhiyue kept saying that he was the imperial prince, and it has not yet been determined whether Li Zhiyue is really not the imperial prince. Therefore, the minister believes that he wants to kill Li Zhiyue, and he should also kill him after the interrogation is understood. ”

The emperor nodded.

******

Now it's time to talk about the question of who will try Li Zhiyue.

The emperor asked Kong Qian: "Kong Aiqing, who do you say is better to let Li Zhiyue judge?" ”

Kong Qian said: "From the perspective of the minister. It would be better for the emperor to hand over this task to Prime Minister Guo Cheng. Prime Minister Guo Cheng is very smart and talented. The minister thought that Prime Minister Guo Cheng would definitely do this well. ”

When Guo Chongtao heard this, he was frightened.

Guo Chongtao knew that Kong Qian didn't press his intestines well.

Because this case is not easy to try.

Because no matter whether this case is "wrong" or "right", he will be "a commotion".

If the result of the trial of this case is "Li Zhiyue is not the imperial prince", Li Zhiyue is a capital crime, Li Zhiyue was originally the imperial prince, glared and said that Li Zhiyue was not the imperial prince, and wanted to kill Li Zhiyue out of conscience. not only lacks morality and hurts heavenly principles, but also rebels; If the result of the trial of this case is "Li Zhiyue is the emperor's relative", the emperor once said that it was because the royal family of the previous dynasty had been slaughtered that the emperor was called the emperor, and the implication was that if the royal family of the previous dynasty still existed, if the royal family of the previous dynasty appeared, the emperor would take off his robe and give way, and if the result of the trial was that Li Zhiyue was the imperial family. If the emperor is forced to take off his robe and give way, the sin will be even more unimaginable.

Guo Chongtao said in his heart: Kong Qian, what kind of person are you, why do you always want to harm me!

Guo Chongtao didn't dare to take this case!

Guo Chongtao hurriedly knelt forward again.

Guo Chongtao said to the emperor: "The emperor is a good man." The book of ministers is shallow. Something like that. The minister really didn't dare to take over. The minister is a mediocre talent, how can the minister have the ability to do such a big thing! In the opinion of the minister, the emperor should hand over this matter to Kong Qian, the master of Kong. Kong Qian is eight years old, and Kong Qian is the descendant of Kong Sage. The minister thought that Kong Qian, the master of Kong, would definitely be able to do this. ”

When Kong Qian heard that he was going to hand over this matter to him, he was also shocked.

Kong Qian also knows that this is difficult!

Kong Qian also hurriedly knelt forward: "The emperor is Mingjian." The minister is even more mediocre. The minister did not dare to take over this matter. The minister is a small secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how can a minister do something like this! ”

Kong Qian said, and he smiled at Guo Chong.

Then, Kong Qian said to Guo Chongtao: "Prime Minister Guo, you can serve the emperor in this matter!" You are the prime minister, you all shake your head, do you still want the emperor to take care of this matter himself? ”

"...... this?"

Guo Chongtao's hatred!

Guo Chongtao knows: If this case is taken over, it will be a matter of death.

Guo Chongtao said in his heart: But ......, but Kong Qian's words, how can I answer? I'm the No. 2 person in the court, I'm the prime minister, I say it's difficult, I can't take over this matter, right?

Kong Qian was still adding fuel to the fire there: "Prime Minister Guo, a few hours ago, you were so decisive with Li Zhiyue, and a few hours ago you said to Li Zhiyue that you would kill him, now why are you suddenly hesitating about Li Zhiyue?"

At this time, the emperor was also very angry.

The emperor said in his heart: What? Whoever I ask me to work, no one wants to work for me! I want to tell whoever to do the work, I can't do it! He's still talking there about the cool air!

******

At this time, a person came out of class and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the minister is not talented, you better let the minister try to do this first!" ”

Guo Chongtao took a look: It turned out to be Li Siyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Li Siyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is also an important minister in the court. Li Siyuan is the godson of the emperor's father, Li Ke. Li Siyuan and Guo Chongtao have a good relationship. Li Siyuan and Guo Chongtao have fought side by side for many years. Li Siyuan is also very loyal to the emperor. Because the emperor is the son of his stepfather.

Li Siyuan saw that Guo Chongtao was not good at talking, and when he saw that the emperor was going to be angry, and when he saw that things were not good, he came out to relieve Guo Chongtao and came out to share his worries for the emperor.

Li Siyuan said to the emperor: "The minister is the secretary of the criminal department, and the minister is in charge of this matter. The emperor should let the ministers deal with this matter first. ”

The emperor nodded.

The emperor was a little angry.

At this time, Li Siyuan said to Guo Chongtao again: "Prime Minister Guo, I will handle this in advance." However, at this time, you must also have a mental preparation, if I don't have a talent for this matter, if I can't handle this matter well, you will have to deal with it in the future! Because you are the prime minister. ”

Guo Chongtao nodded.

Guo Chongtao said: "Okay. (To be continued.) )
