As soon as these words came out, Gu Mingjue's face suddenly panicked, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Father, the son has never thought of fooling you, please be clear." Erchen, Erchen really never did it......"

"Never done it before?"

The emperor looked at him coldly and said, "Until now, you still dare to say these four words to me?"

If Gu Mingjue was really innocent, there would be no scene in this Jinluan Palace today!

If he dares to act, the emperor probably won't be so angry, but Gu Mingjue's appearance at this moment, in the eyes of the emperor, is vicious and unplanted, so that he can't afford to forgive for half a minute.

"Since you can't remember what you did, let's go back and reflect on it!"

The emperor didn't bother to listen to Gu Mingjue's explanation, so he simply ordered directly at the Imperial Forest Army: "Escort this rebel son back to my house, stop all the things he has taken over, and you can't go out without an edict!"

If the previous ones still made Gu Mingjue feel lucky, then the last sentence was what scared him.

It doesn't matter if you lose your official position, you can temporarily let go of the power in your hands, but you can't get out without an edict, that is, you will be under house arrest.

And this period can be long or short, if someone does something from it, then it is possible that it will not come out in recent years!

Most importantly, it will lose hearts and minds.

Those who support him have their eyes on his future destiny. If you can't see any hope, who will follow you?

Thinking of this, Gu Mingjue became more and more panicked, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, father, listen to my explanation, the son is really wronged, Fourth Emperor Brother, why do you want to harm me so much?!"

Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan glanced at him, but asked rhetorically: "Why do I want to harm you? But you, who keep saying that you are wronged, that I don't care about brotherhood, then let me ask you, who are the people of Xichu innocent? Those people who died because of you, who should they ask for justice!"

Gu Mingjue was speechless when he said this, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the emperor first: "Take him down!"

After Gu Mingjue, who was unwilling, was taken away, the emperor looked at the half-empty Jinluan Palace, and said slowly: "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

An early dynasty has become like this, and it is also the first time since the founding of the country.

The emperor was angry, but also very cold.

He turned a blind eye to the greetings of the officials, but when he walked in front of Gu Mingyuan, he stopped and said, "You come with me." ”

Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan lowered his eyes and walked out with the emperor's footsteps.

......

"Do you know what I called you for?"

After arriving at the imperial study, the emperor retreated, and the first thing he said was to ask.

Gu Mingyuan looked directly at the emperor's gaze, and said without dodging: "I know, the son came here for this reason, to ask his father for the guilt." ”

Hearing this, the emperor picked up the teacup next to him, but he didn't drink it, just rubbed the teacup and said lightly: "Tell me, what are you guilty of?"

"Erchen should not provoke this matter above the court, and should discuss it with you privately first. ”

As soon as Gu Mingyuan said this, the emperor almost laughed angrily, he exhaled and said, "Fourth, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Erchen knows. ”

Seeing that Gu Mingyuan was still such an indifferent attitude, the emperor was a little uncalm, he pointed at Gu Mingyuan, gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't know, I can still be fearless as an ignorant person." But you know what the best way to deal with this matter is, but you want to make trouble at the Jinluan Palace's court meeting, you say, "What do you want to do?!"

The emperor was really angry this time.

For so many years, there has never been a time as humiliating as today. And all of this was provoked by Gu Mingyuan.

But originally, he could dispose of this matter in private, whether it was Gu Mingjue or those courtiers who were making trouble behind his back.

However, Gu Mingyuan's fuss made such a fuss made things out of control. It's easy to arrest those ministers today, but how to appease them if they are released another day is all his business!

And Gu Mingyuan, the initiator, is still standing in front of him with a nonchalant face, making him feel that one head and two are big when he looks at it.

Regarding the emperor's anger, Gu Mingyuan's eyebrows and eyes were always clear: "Erchen wants to seek justice for those people." ”

When talking about the people, his expression changed a little: "Father, do you know what a human sheep is?"

The emperor didn't know why he suddenly changed the subject, squinted his eyes, and said, "I know, what are you talking about?"

He also fought with him in his early years, although he was in the rear, he could be regarded as a royal conquest. When I first learned what a human sheep was, I was very disgusted. Even if Gu Mingyuan mentioned it now, he felt a little worried.

Gu Mingyuan's eyes were dark, and he took a deep breath and said: "Then do you know that this time I went to the Yellow River area for disaster relief, how many people did my sons see who had become people and sheep? However, there are people who want to snatch food from the mouths of this group of people under the idea of making it difficult for the country to make money! Not only that, but there are also taxes and silver paid over the years, etc., and they do everything possible to exploit the people, how is this different from corroding the foundation of our Western Chu?"

Speaking of this, Gu Mingyuan looked at the emperor and said word by word: "You ask me what I want to do, I can tell you that Gu Mingyuan, as a descendant of the Gu family, just doesn't want the water carrying the boat to become a thing that overturns the boat because of those disasters!"

If it was said that the emperor was just angry when he was above the main hall before, then after listening to Gu Mingyuan's words, he couldn't say a word.

Seeing that the emperor sat back on the chair, Gu Mingyuan stood where he was and didn't speak, but his expression was full of compassion.

None of these words were false.

Before taking over disaster relief, Gu Mingyuan didn't think about what he would see.

Although he had also walked around in the early years, and he had suffered some hardships with Zhang Chenglin, those were far less than what he had seen in the past few months.

It is precisely because of this that Gu Mingyuan's consideration of many things has changed.

What is the people, what is the country?

There was silence in the study for a while, and the silent pin drop could be heard.

The emperor closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, and only after a long time did he say in a dumb voice: "Don't worry, I will give an explanation to the people of Western Chu about this matter." ”

Gu Mingyuan is right, this matter involves so many people, if he doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid the people won't agree.

What's more, this time Gu Mingjue's hand was really stretched too long.
