The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1134 Demotion

His shop is not big, even if people want to buy weapons, few people come to his shop.

Making weapons consumes a lot of pig iron, and if no one wants to fight, isn't it a loss of money?In order to make a living, Gu Chenglian stopped fighting.

If he can enter the weapon bureau, he will be able to deal with weapons every day.

"Third Brother, if this person is really an official of the Military Weapons Bureau, do you really want to go to the Military Weapons Bureau? Once you enter the court, you will not have such freedom. Besides, if you make a mistake, the punishment will not be small. In The Military Arms Bureau lives on a salary every month, and also supports Xiaoyue and the others. You have to take these into consideration."

Gu Chengyu felt that he still had to make it clear with Gu Chenglian, he could see that Gu Chenglian did have some love for weapons.

But after entering the imperial court, how can it be so good?When confidentiality is required, it may not be possible to return home once in ten days and half a month.

If there is a mistake, punishment is indispensable. This is definitely more comfortable than not being able to open a shop by yourself.

Apart from being able to encounter weapons every day, there are no other benefits.

Forging weapons every day is exhausting for everyone.I'm afraid that Gu Chenglian will find it boring if he really enters the Weapons Bureau.

Gu Chenglian was stunned. He only thought about doing what he liked before, but he forgot that there are so many ways to do it.

"Third Brother, think about it carefully. There is no rush for this matter. Let me go to the Yamen to inquire and see if there is really such a person in the Ministry of Industry. It's too early to talk about it now."

In fact, Gu Chengyu didn't say one thing, that is, the other party, a ninth-rank official, has such a great ability to let Gu Chenglian enter the military bureau?

Even if one becomes a craftsman of the Weapons Bureau, not everyone can do it.However, this matter will be discussed after he inquires.

Gu Chenglian was poured cold water by Gu Chengyu, at this moment, he himself calmed down.

"It's just that I didn't think carefully. I'm not as thoughtful as you, Xiaobao. Let's discuss this matter again after you have inquired about this person!"

The next day, as soon as Gu Chengyu arrived at Dali Temple, he heard Wang Zhui come forward to report.

"My lord, the student just heard a piece of news, and I don't know if it's true." The mystery on Wang Zhui's face made Gu Chengyu curious.

He hung the cloak on the hanger before turning around and asking, "What news?"

"Does this matter have anything to do with you? It is said that Lord Shoufu handed over a sign to enter the palace early in the morning, and wanted to ask the emperor to show mercy to Lord Min of the Imperial Academy, but he was reprimanded by the emperor. The officials in this case were very disgusted and ordered the prince to settle the matter within three days."

The news that Wang Zhui said this time was not insignificant. Gu Chengyu did not expect that he would hear such important news as soon as he stepped into Dali Temple.

He took a deep look at Wang Zhu, and under his gaze, the smile on Wang Zhui's face became a little stiff.

It seems that Wang Zhui has a lot of contacts in the court!It didn't take long for such an important matter to be inquired by him.

Gu Chengyu averted his eyes, spread out a file on the table, and then asked casually: "This matter has been delayed for a long time, isn't it reasonable for the emperor to order this?"

Gu Chengyu looked at the file in his hand, but he was thinking in his heart that the emperor's dragon body has not healed, and this matter has already been handed over to the crown prince.

Fearing that the prince would not agree to release Min Feng like this, Xia Qing was in a hurry, so he ran to beg the emperor.After all, it had been several days since he returned to the capital, and Min Feng was still imprisoned in Dali Temple.

However, the prince didn't know what the idea was, and he never made a decision on the officials involved in corruption. It seemed that the emperor was dissatisfied with the efficiency of the prince's work.

Yes, this matter should actually be done more vigorously.It is a heinous crime for the corrupt imperial court to allocate money to build river embankments.

Even if such officials are killed a hundred times, they will not be able to make up for their mistakes.

After all, Changtian Mansion was flooded this time, and many people died.Who will bear such serious consequences?

If these corrupt officials are not severely punished, can the people still trust the court?
Is the prince still collecting evidence?Gu Chengyu shook his head, too indecisive.

At this time, a few officials with the most corruption should be caught first, and they should be used as an example, and other officials will make a decision in the future.

So what if there is no solid evidence?Could it be that this is still the dynasty in the previous life that paid attention to evidence in everything?
Here, imperial power means everything.As long as a few of some weight are caught, the evidence does not need to be collected by itself, it can jump out by itself.

Compared with the emperor, the prince is still too tender after all, not as determined as the emperor!
As an emperor, sometimes his heart has to be cold and hard, otherwise how can he hold down those old officials?
"Perhaps His Royal Highness has other plans? It's just that the emperor was so angry at the time that he simply downgraded Master Min. Now the Ministry of Household Affairs is processing the official document of Master Min's downgrade, and he also came out of Dali Temple."

"Oh? Come out?" Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, was it just a downgrade?It seems that the emperor and Xia Qing have reached another agreement.

In fact, this matter can be big or small. After all, it is only 100 taels of gold, and the amount of greed is not large.

Adding at most one crime of dereliction of duty is not a serious crime.The emperor took it lightly, maybe it was for Xia Qing's benefit, or maybe it was for Xia Qing's sake that he let it go.

However, none of this matters.Before asking about Min Feng's current official position, Yun Zemin's voice sounded outside the door.

"My lord! His Royal Highness urgently summons you to the East Palace for discussion!" Yun Zemin's voice was getting closer and closer, and just after he finished speaking, he had already entered the room.

Yun Zemin's eyes flickered when he saw that Wang Zhu was also in the room.

Gu Chengyu put down the file, and the prince called him urgently, it must be because of the imperial order just now.

He didn't delay, put on his cloak, and headed for the East Palace.

"The next official sees His Highness the Crown Prince!" As soon as he entered the East Palace, Gu Chengyu saw that the Crown Prince's complexion was very ugly.

"Gu Aiqing is here, don't be too polite!"

"Early this morning, because Xia Shoufu went to his father to intercede for his disciples without telling me, he was reprimanded by his father. Afterwards, his father ordered me to settle the Jiangdi ink corruption case within three days. However, I have already ordered people to go to the south of the Yangtze River to collect evidence, and there should be news in the next two days. The emperor is so eager, and I also followed Xia Shoufu to eat and hang up."

Speaking of this matter, the prince's heart suddenly became dissatisfied.

Xia Qing did mention Min Feng's matter to him before, but Min Feng did accept bribes, so he couldn't let this matter go easily, otherwise he set a bad example for all officials?
Unexpectedly, Xia Qing's request would not work for him, so he turned around and begged his father.As a result, he was severely reprimanded by his father, which made him lose all face.

"May I ask Your Highness, will we really be able to collect evidence in two days?" Gu Chengyu lowered his eyebrows and looked down, but the meaning of the words made the prince stunned.

He couldn't help frowning, "There must be evidence, it's just that those big fish refused to take the bait. The evidence for the chief officers who committed the crime is not enough."
