"It's that I shouldn't lose my temper, but I also have a reason for this, so you should have less contact with him in the future," Gu Sheng's voice was obviously a little muffled.

is obviously in a bad mood, but he still has to admit his mistakes, and grievances are inevitable.

"Why?"

Yuan Baoer was puzzled.

"He is my senior brother, just like Cui Minzhi, why should I be estranged from him?"

You can't form gangs in the court, but in the same year, you and your brothers take care of each other, one can communicate with each other, so as not to be lonely and unheard, and step on the pit that should not be stepped on, and the second is to deter others, so that others dare not easily detain the pot, and third, they also help each other, the officialdom is so big, and the officials in Kyoto are so right, many times, if you know Shangfeng, things will be much easier.

This is also a tacit thing for everyone, why did Gu Sheng oppose her?

Where did Gu Sheng say so?

Do you want to say that you almost married him in the first place, and if I hadn't been the first to get there, you wouldn't know whose wife it was now?

This is to kill him, and he will never say half a word.

He could only be silent.

When Yuan Bao'er saw her like this, she turned her head and fell asleep with her head covered.

The next morning, neither of them was in good spirits.

Apparently neither of them slept well.

The two of them rushed to the court meeting by cart.

This is the first time Gu Sheng has returned from vacation to the court meeting, and all the officials have nodded and greeted each other.

Gu Sheng also responded politely one by one.

Yuan Bao'er looked at him coldly, snorting coldly in her heart.

Look at the spring breeze on his face, who knew that he would do the childish thing of being jealous and hindering his mother's friendship.

The two of them followed everyone into the main hall with a smile on their lips.

Half an hour later, Brother Yuan came in, and when he saw Gu Sheng, he didn't even notice that he was a little relaxed.

Zuo Xiang looked in his eyes, and his heart sank slightly.

It is reasonable for His Majesty to be so wary of himself, but if he trusts Gu Sheng so much, it will be very disadvantageous to him.

One mountain has never been able to tolerate two tigers, not to mention that Gu Sheng is still a downhill tiger, staring at what he has in his hand.

I was thinking in my heart, Brother Yuan had already named Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng stepped forward, first thanked the emperor for his concern, and then told about the affairs of Nandi.

Among them, it is more or less mentioned that the Min family exploited the south.

is different from Yuan Baoer's focus, Gu Sheng mentions the Min family's wealth more.

He calculated an account for everyone in the court, the southern land is richer than other places, and with the style of the Min family, they have to scrape the ground three feet after passing by, and the exploitation is naturally more ruthless.

The Min family has been in charge of the south for nearly nine years, and Gu Sheng has made a detailed account of the taxes he has paid for the past nine years, as well as the taxes he has added separately and the imperial court appropriations, but he has concealed them in various names and squeezed the people.

In the end, it was concluded that the Min family's wealth was at least three times that of today's treasury.

This is still a conservative estimate.

Gu Sheng said it in no hurry or slowly, but everyone in the court felt breathless.

What a huge amount this is, think about everyone being an official in the same dynasty, but people can get so much furniture, even if they think about their family and country, they will inevitably have grievances.

Gu Sheng looked around and saw everyone's expressions change as he wished.

He focused on his right side, and sure enough, he saw that his face was blue, and he was obviously very safe.

He smiled slightly, "Such a big rat, if you don't get rid of it, how can you calm the hearts of the people in the world, and how to determine the foundation of the integrity of hundreds of officials?" ”

The pins of the huge hall could be heard, and his voice echoed out of the hall and in the open space.

There were also nearly 100 lower-ranking officials standing there.

Hearing this, nearly half of the court officials' hearts trembled.

If it were others, they probably wouldn't be like this, but it was Bu Shuai who spoke, and in this world, no matter how trivial it is, can't escape their eyes, so don't try to hide what you do.

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he arched his hand and went back to the queue.

Brother Yuan looked at the court official who was so frightened that his face turned white, and smiled slightly.

"What Master Gu said is reasonable."

He touched the edge of the handrail with his fingers, and his expression slowly turned cold, "The Min family and a cadre of relatives are detained on the spot, and as for the conviction, they will wait for the trial to be decided later." ”

His eyes crossed the crowd one by one and fell on Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng gave him an encouraging smile and motioned for him to continue.

Brother Yuan'er's eyes bent, and he said coldly: "Zhongqing, is there anything else?" ”

At this time, everyone was thinking about their more or less relationship with the Min family, and they were worried about what else was going on.

Brother Yuan let everyone go, leaving Gu Sheng and Yuan Bao'er and the left and right sides.

"What do you think of the Min family?"

Brother Yuan sat at the top, condescending.

Yuan Baoer's attitude is to be strict, as strict as she can be.

Gu Sheng said that with so much money, how many soldiers can be raised and how many things can be done.

Zuo Xiang denounced the Min family for being disloyal and unfilial, having no king and no father, and should be disposed of, but as for how to deal with it, he did not say why.

It's all a bunch of nonsense.

Seeing this, the right minister also wanted to learn from him, and he didn't want Brother Yuan to say: "I know that the right minister is loyal to the king, and he must think so, but how to deal with it, you still need a charter." ”

"I don't know what the Qing family thinks?"

This is undoubtedly to set up the right phase, and if he can't say why, it is very debatable that he is not so loyal to the king.

Zuo Xiang hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile, lowered his eyes, and looked fixed.

The right side squinted, and saw that Gu Sheng's couple was watching a good show to look at him, and scolded in his heart.

The first emperor was still looking eagerly, and the right minister only felt that his scalp was numb, so he had to speak hard, "The minister thinks that if the Min family is really as Lord Gu said, then it is less than ten times and eight times, and the minister proposes to investigate strictly, and it is necessary to find out where every stitch and thread in their family comes from, so that they can be indefensible and convince them of the law." ”

Brother Yuan nodded, and asked again: "But what should I do?" ”

"Exile the Nine?"

The right eyelids jumped wildly, if it was the Nine Clans, then his family would not be able to escape.

The right side pressed the corners of his mouth hard so as not to laugh.

The right prime minister broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and he was busy bending to the end.

Brother Yuan seemed to have just remembered at this moment, "Oh, the Qing family seems to be related to the Min family, right?" ”

Now the strength to connect the right is gone.

Gu Sheng and Yuan Bao'er grinned directly.

Brother Yuan frowned in embarrassment, "The Min family has committed such a big crime, and the exile of the Nine Clans seems to be a bit light, and it stands to reason that they should all be killed, but Aiqing is also involved here." ”

The eyelids of the right minister jumped wildly, if he dared to say that he would let the emperor release the water at this time, he would bet that Gu Sheng's pair would be able to criticize him for nothing, and maybe he would not be able to keep this position.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Chen Zhen didn't know that the Min family would act like this, he knew it earlier,"

He kowtowed vigorously, "I knew that the minister would let the children in the family beat the bachelors, and the lady would not be able to marry, and he would never marry them." ”

Brother Yuan looked at the right phase with a cold eye and kowtowed so much that his head was broken, so he faintly asked him to get up, but his expression was still calm.

But at this time, the right minister didn't care about provocativeness, and it was a blessing to be able to escape.

Out of the imperial study, the right minister staggered, if it weren't for the forbidden army on the side, he would have fallen to the ground.

Gu Sheng sighed, smiling rather than smiling, "Boss, you have to keep your eyes open when you look for a son-in-law in the future, otherwise if you are not careful, you will not be able to protect the evening." ”

The right minister glanced at him embarrassedly, and he didn't dare to argue, so he just covered his face and hurried away.

The left minister glanced at Gu Sheng, and then looked at Yuan Bao'er, who was looking at the back of the right minister, and walked around the two.

Gu Sheng snorted silently, and was about to leave, when he saw Yuan Bao'er, he paused, and wanted to say something.

Yuan Bao'er didn't want to listen to him, so she walked past him.

The officialdom is proud, the love is frustrated, and Gu Sheng finally tasted the taste.

The chamberlain was hurrying over, and when he saw that Gu Sheng was the only one left, he invited him back to the imperial study.

Yuan Bao'er went straight out of the palace gate, turned her head and saw that Gu Sheng didn't come out, so she only paused to meet the yamen.

Nowadays, there is no war, but agricultural affairs do occur every year, and as the secretary of the Ministry of Works, he must always urge it.

There are a lot of things in the mansion, Yuan Bao'er was so busy that she forgot the time, and when she remembered to go home, it was already dark.

She stretched and prepared to go back.

As soon as she went out, she saw a shadow in the darkness, and she was startled, "Who?" ”

"I," Gu Sheng walked out of the dark shadow.

Yuan Bao'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Why don't you squeak when you come." ”

Gu Sheng didn't speak, only put on the clothes he brought to her, "It's cold at night." ”

Yuan Bao'er couldn't help but tie himself with a strap before she looked up at him, "What's wrong today?" ”

Gu Sheng looked at her, and the meaning of the inquiry was obvious.

Yuan Bao'er smiled, her grandfather said that it was rare to be confused, and there were some things, since he had softened, there was no need to worry about it.

She smiled and pulled Gu Sheng home.

Ma Tang welcomed the two masters in, and saw that the two of them looked relaxed, without the tension of the morning, so he was relieved.

Yuan Baoer changed into big clothes and went to see her son.

Gu Sheng came over one step later, and after playing with his son for a while, he went to find Ma Tang.

When he returned, his sons were asleep.

"I went to bed pretty early," he whispered.

Yuan Bao'er rolled her eyes, "He's still young, you can sleep so well when you're so young." ”

Gu Sheng didn't think so, he was sensible when he was young, so he wouldn't sleep when he was full, and live a full life.

Yuan Baoer covered her son with a small quilt and left with Gu Sheng.

"Today's incident, I don't think the right minister will be reconciled."

After several years of contact, Yuan Baoer has some understanding of the character of the right minister, today he suffered such a big loss, and this matter also involves the lady in his family, he will never sit idly by.

Gu Sheng nodded, "I've already explained, someone will stare at him." ”

Yuan Bao'er also nodded, and before her head fell, she suddenly thought of something, and looked at Gu Sheng again.

Gu Sheng looked serious, as if he was all for business.

Yuan Bao'er smiled suddenly.

She shook her head, and said in her heart, just think that he is extraordinarily jealous.

Gu Sheng had a ghost in his heart, no matter how he ignored it, but when he saw her turn her head and go to busy with the flowers and plants in the yard, he knew that she would not hold on to the previous things anymore, so he relaxed.

A small storm disappeared quietly.

The next day, Gu Sheng had just gotten up, and the rat came.

There was no court meeting today, Yuan Bao'er got up a little late, so Gu Sheng asked her to take her time and go to see the mouse first.

Yuan Bao'er finished cleaning up and saw that the mouse had already left.

"What's going on?"

Gu Sheng took Yuan Bao'er to the dining room, asked Ma Tang to put the meal on the table, urged Yuan Bao'er to eat the meal first, and then said, "Min Dalang is dead." ”

"Who?"

Yuan Baoer suspected that she had misheard.

Gu Sheng repeated again, and when he saw that Yuan Bao'er still couldn't believe it, he said: "This matter is sooner or later, and the right minister can endure it until now, and it is also the limit." ”

"Just because it involves the Nine Clans?"

Yuan Bao'er couldn't believe it.

Gu Sheng sneered, "This is also one thing, and more importantly, the things between them are all pulled by Min Dalang, and now the matchmakers are dead, and many things are also dead without proof." ”

Yuan Bao'er put down the teacup, only to feel panicked.

Gu Sheng was afraid that Yuan Bao'er would urge her to eat first.

"This person is really vicious."

Gu Sheng didn't say anything, but if this happened to him, he would probably do the same.

The son-in-law is not a son, and the daughter can remarry after death.

As long as the right phase does not fall, why should their sons and daughters worry about getting married.

However, seeing Yuan Bao'er's ugly face, Gu Sheng didn't dare to speak.

Yuan Bao'er was a little lazy, "Do you want to tell Your Majesty about this?" ”

"Naturally," Gu Sheng said, "The mouse has already gone." ”

Yuan Bao'er's expression moved slightly, "You seem to have handed over a lot of things to the mouse recently." ”

"You found out?"

Gu Sheng smiled, "The mouse has a good character, and he is Cuixin's husband, and he is loyal to you and me." ”

Yuan Bao'er suddenly understood, "You want him to take over the cloth guard." ”

Gu Sheng nodded, "What do you think?" ”

Yuan Bao'er naturally had no opinion, "But Brother Yuan should want to use his own people." ”

"Isn't he his own now?"

Yuan Bao'er understood that he was asking the rat to cross himself and be loyal to Brother Yuan.

"Are you serious?"

You must know that if the mouse does this, it is equivalent to standing on his own, not mentioning the future, even now, his situation must be difficult.

The cloth guard system is strict, even if the mouse takes refuge in the master who should be loyal, but crossing the level is equivalent to betrayal, and the people below are all watching, and they will inevitably have thoughts about him, and it is conceivable that he will have a hard time in the future when he is in the cloth guard.

Gu Sheng smiled, "This is what he has to go through." ”

He said it very shortly, but Yuan Baoer understood that he was paving the way for rats.

When Brother Yuan is in power, he will inevitably support his own people, although Gu Sheng has always been on his side, but he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, in terms of speaking, his prestige is higher than Brother Yuan'er, and his identity is not ordinary, Brother Yuan trusts him now, but not necessarily in the future.

Gu Sheng has children and daughters, and he still wants to watch his daughter get married, his son marry a wife, and be with Yuan Bao'er for a long time, with a little power, which is not worth mentioning compared to these.

But before he can put that aside, he has to be ready.

He has been working as a cloth guard for many years, and he has offended people a lot, and he must help someone he believes in and the emperor trusts to take over the cloth guard.

In this way, he can be relieved of his authority.

Thinking about this, Yuan Baoer was a little concerned.

As the years passed, Brother Yuan gradually revealed the emperor's prestige and suspicion, and it was still necessary to take some precautions.
