Chapter 575 The Attitude Of The Son Of Heaven
Seemingly not aware of the hesitation in Guo Rong's tone, Chang Si's aging face showed anticipation, and said: "I hope Guo Lang can speak to the emperor and speak for me to avoid this disaster!"

"Mr. Chang!" Guo Rong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Although Rong is a privy secretary, I am afraid that he is powerless in this matter! The imperial court has its own system, and the emperor's mind is unpredictable. , deeply evil. If I speak rashly, I'm afraid it will be unbeautiful!"

Of course, Guo Rong's words did not convince Chang Si, so his old face sank, and he said: "Guo Lang is now a high-ranking official in the court. He made great achievements in the battle of Huainan, and is highly relied on by the emperor. If you can help me Talk, the emperor will give you some face if you think about it!"

After speaking, seeing Guo Rong remained silent, Chang Si said again: "If Wen Zhong is here, I will look for him, but he is currently working in Xiangzhou, so I can only ask you!"

As he said that, he stood up and bowed and said: "The safety, honor and disgrace of dozens of members of my family depend on you. For the sake of past friendship, I hope you will show your respect!"

Seeing Chang Si make such a gesture, Guo Rong couldn't help but sighed heavily.Although he didn't want to cause trouble, but Chang Si put Guo Wei out, but it made him feel embarrassed and had to think about it.

Chang Si, this old man, has a very close friendship with Guo Wei, and he is very kind to him.Guo Wei was lonely and helpless when he was young, and he was fed and fed by Chang Sijia. When he reached a high position, he still called him an uncle and treated him like a father.

That's why, now that Guo Wei is not here, Guo Rong is the representative of the Guo family in Tokyo. He often thinks about being decadent and old.

Of course, after Chang Si stepped into the Guo Mansion, Guo Rongshi already had to wade through this muddy water.Moreover, Guo Rong was apprehensive, and felt that under the turbidity, there was another mystery and hidden danger.

In Guo Rong's impression, the emperor has always been sensible and wise, how could he allow Wang Jingchong to act arbitrarily and act recklessly, and the law may be perverted, but Wu Desi should not be used to rectify it with such fanfare.Starting from Liu Zhu, counting Chang Si who sneaked back, it is already the Jiedu of the three towns, not to mention the generals in other places.

Let Wang Jingchong continue to toss, I'm afraid there will be chaos, and the Tokyo court is even more turbulent, and there are many people who worry.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, Guo Rong got up and helped Chang Si up, and said sadly: "Chang Gong, get up, how can the younger generation deserve this gift, if it spreads to my father's ears, I'm afraid I won't be able to blame him!"

"Guo Lang, this is a promise!" Noticing Guo Rong's expression, Chang Silao's eyes grew more hopeful.

After serious consideration for a while, Guo Rong said to Chang Si seriously: "Mr. Chang, forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although Wang Jingchong is arrogant, after Liu Zhu, he dare not act too hastily. Even in Luzhou, safety is a matter of concern. Guaranteed. But now that you have left your post without authorization and sneaked into Beijing to pay a private visit to the Guo Mansion, this move is already very inappropriate, very inappropriate, and it is even more guilty of guilt, and it is true."

Hearing what Guo Rong said, Chang Si's old face changed, he thumped his thigh, and said angrily, "I was in a panic and had no choice but to go back to Luzhou immediately?"

Guo Rong shook his head directly, and said: "Since you have come to Beijing and entered the city, can you still hide it from your eyes and ears?"

In the eyes, there was a splendor, and he said to Chang Si: "Well, tonight, Mr. Chang will temporarily stay in the mansion. In the morning tomorrow, I will enter the palace with you and ask to see your majesty. You can confess your sins to your majesty. I will be there at that time, and I will also be there. In order to speak for you, His Majesty may give me a little favor!"

"Thank you Guo Lang!" With Guo Rong's assurance, Chang Si finally felt relieved.

Seeing his situation, Guo Rong quietly added: "I heard that Mr. Chang's family has a fortune of [-] yuan, and there are quite a lot of properties. You can donate it to the national treasury to relieve the family's difficulties."

Chang Si is humble and frugal by nature, and in Luzhou he focuses on amassing money. After a few years, his family has a lot of money.The so-called flies do not bite seamless eggs, and the Jiedu generals that Wang Jingchong targeted were all guilty enough to go to prison.

As for Chang Si's reputation as an official, Guo Rong has also heard about it, but in his heart, he is a little disgusted.

Hearing what Guo Rong said, Chang Si showed heartache, hesitated for a while, met Guo Rong's eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay!"

After the discussion, he ordered the servant to lead Chang Si to retreat, while Guo Rong paced around the room with a very uncomfortable expression.Standing in front of the window, looking at the courtyard through the window lattice, the grass and trees are sparse, the cool wind is blowing, and there are shadows. Standing for a long time, I can't help sighing: "Trouble!"

"Husband, after working hard all day, it's already late, let's go back to the room and rest!" Mrs. Liu said to Guo Rong when she entered the room.

Hearing the gentle voice of his virtuous wife, Guo Rong couldn't help calming down.Turning around, there was no trace of seriousness on his face, and he said softly, "Where are Dalang and Erlang?"

"They're all asleep!"

In the Chongzheng Hall, Guo Rong and Chang Si stood respectfully below. After listening to Chang Si's confession, Liu Chengyou considered Chang Si playfully.Under the emperor's gaze, Chang Si looked very cramped, and could not help but look sideways at Guo Rong, winking at him, but Guo Rong didn't seem to notice.

A little flustered, but facing the emperor's eyes, Chang Si said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the old minister lives in Luzhou, and the Lu people owe the minister [-] yuan, and I am willing to use the voucher to make progress!"

As he spoke, he took out a stack of bonds from his sleeve and handed them over to Zhang Dejun and Liu Chengyou.When he said this, both Liu Chengyou and Guo Rong frowned.After receiving it, after a few glances, Liu Chengyou thought to himself, this Chang Si, living up to the name of "accumulation", has quite a lot of means.

"Changqing's kindness, I accept it with a smile!" With a faint smile, Liu Chengyou got up, but walked to the stove in the hall, and put the stack of coupons on the ground into the charcoal, and the flames quickly swallowed it.

Turning around, Liu Chengyou stared at Chang Si, only to see that his old face was a little pale, and said in a deep voice: "Chang Qing is old, so it is inevitable to travel back and forth. This time I am going to Beijing to report on my work, so I will work in Tokyo. It will be a relief from the hard work." Bitter. In this way, I regard you as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and now Tokyo is undergoing major repairs, so you can assist in this matter!"

Immediately dismissing Chang Si, Liu Chengyou glanced at Guo Rong, and saw that his face was as calm as usual.Although from the beginning to the end, Guo Rong didn't say a word for Chang Si, but standing here is his attitude.Liu Chengyou felt it, so he also gave him face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Guo Rong bowed after Chang Si stepped back.

Liu Chengyou looked at Guo Rong, understood what he meant, and just said plainly: "I can understand your nostalgia for the old love! However, the poverty of Lumin, let me just say that Chang Si has made a big mistake! Although he is a veteran, he has some practices. , is intolerable!"

Guo Rong replied: "I understand!"

"Does Guo Qing know why I asked Chang Si to stay in Beijing to participate in the city construction?" Liu Chengyou asked while staring at Guo Rong.

"I understand!" Guo Rong said again.

"He's old after all, I'm afraid he's in a daze and doesn't know what he means!" Liu Chengyou said.

Guo Rong still said the same words: "I understand!"

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou finally showed a reserved smile: "Then let Guo Qing call Yu Changsi!"

"Yes!"

After Guo Rong withdrew, Liu Chengyou's expression became dull. He summoned Li Fang and asked, "How many memorials have been written to impeach Wang Jingchong?"

"Report to Your Majesty, there are a total of 170 six passages!" Li Fang said: "From all levels of the imperial court, all ministries and departments, there are officials to play!"

"This is a series of connections to put pressure on me!" Liu Chengyou said coldly.

Hearing this censure, Li Fang bowed his head, not daring to answer.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou asked Li Fang: "Ming Yuan, do you think I should summon Wang Jingchong to deal with it at the request of my officials?"

Hearing the question, Li Fang thought for a while, and replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, it is unusual for a hundred officials to invite all officials at the same time. This is the first time since the founding of the Han Dynasty. No matter what, Your Majesty should pay attention to it. Courtiers There is also a reason to ask for it with one heart and one mind, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

Glancing at Li Fang, Liu Chengyou's indifferent expression added a bit of dignity.Even his close ministers had this attitude. Although Li Fang didn't say it outright, he hinted at it.

This is the first time that Liu Chengyou really felt the backlash from civil servants, just because of Wang Jingchong?not only.
"Perhaps, it's time to settle this matter." Liu Chengyou murmured in a voice that only he could hear clearly.
