Chapter 177
As soon as Chu Yuming opened his mouth, the emperor's face turned blue, his lips trembled, and even his facial features were slightly distorted.After Zuo Shilang's word "dirty silver" fell to the ground, the whole person was already on the verge of fury.

Ten years ago, he demoted the eldest prince to a commoner and sent the army to guard the border in the south.He thought it would be enough for all the princes to learn from him, but today, ten years later, his second prince has put him in this dilemma again.

If he didn't deal with it ruthlessly, he could not get rid of his anger, and he couldn't explain it to his subjects all over the world.But if it is dealt with, he will feel heartbroken... No matter how unworthy he is, he is his son after all.How cruel it is to let him, who has been buried up to his neck in the loess, send a son away with his own hands again!

Yes, when he issued an order to investigate Zuo Shilang and other people, he thought that some of the money they coveted must have gone into his son's pocket.

But he didn't dare to think about it, this is the case with Zuo Shilang alone.

How does this make him judge?Zuo Shilang pleaded guilty to all the crimes, but it was his son who was really greedy for money.Zuo Shilang is at most dereliction of duty, and the crime does not deserve death.If he punished Zuo Shilang severely for the crime of corruption against his conscience, wouldn't he be condoning Chu Yuming in a disguised form?
At this moment, the emperor understood why the old master Zhou advised him not to do anything serious, probably because he had a sharp eye and a bright heart, he must have expected this situation a long time ago.

His teacher, he has never passed an eye on knowing people in his life.

"Young Lingyun is so reckless, with white hair lost his way and looking forward to his relatives' peace... Now that you know today, why bother!" In the silence of the court, the old emperor master Zhou spoke.

Then he said: "Your Majesty, although Zuo Shilang's words are sentimental, but if he is wrong, he is wrong and cannot be forgiven lightly. The old minister thinks that, as a veteran of the two dynasties, he has made mistakes repeatedly and should be severely punished. Besides, Zuo Shilang His old eyesight was dim and he made mistakes several times, so he could no longer be in charge of government affairs.

The old minister asked His Majesty to dismiss him and remove him from office.Gu Nian is old and not many years old, so let him take the blame and become an official, leave Beijing and return to his hometown, and he will not be allowed to set foot in the capital again in his lifetime. "

The left servant's lips trembled, and he bent down on the ground, crying silently...

He understood better than anyone else that although the old master had punished him severely, what he said and did was pleading for mercy.He wanted to take all the responsibility for all the crimes, and use his own life to fight for the emperor's last mercy, and to seek a chance for his family and family.

He has made all the preparations since he was engaged in the development, and even arranged for his loyal servant to take his young grandson out of the city gate early in the morning.If the whole family is convicted, let him protect his last bit of blood and go away.If you can get His Majesty's magnanimity and come back, even if you are exiled, it is better to be together as a family than to be alone.

Beheading, punishing the whole family, exterminating the three clans, ransacking the family and exile...

He thought a lot, but he never thought about the ending of returning home as an official.He didn't dare to think about it... Yesterday he witnessed the emperor's handling of those local officials, and he could already predict that his end would not be better than them.Although he begged the emperor not to offend his family, he just begged, but he never dared to get permission, he just hoped that the emperor would give him a lighter punishment.

What he didn't dare to think about, the old master thought about it for him, and is trying his best to fight for him...

But, old master, what Zuo Zhangyan said and did in the past deserves your protection, Zuo Zhangyan is ashamed!
The emperor saw that if he didn't answer, the old master Zhou was afraid that he would keep talking, so he coughed and wanted to answer.At this moment, the Seventh Prince stood up with a cold snort.

"The old emperor's teacher is too kind. He made such a big mistake and caused such a big loss to the court. He still wants to make Hanyi and his grandson return to his hometown to enjoy his old age? Is there such a cheap thing in the world? "

The second prince Chu Yuming saw that the emperor was a little moved, so he was thinking about the time to speak, and when he came, he would give Zuo Zhangyan a favor.At the same time, let those who follow him see that he is not the master who has an accident and ignores the people below.

Now after hearing what Chu Yuchen said, he wanted to laugh instantly.This is really dozing off, and someone will give you a pillow. Just now, I was thinking about how to speak so as not to cause my father's dissatisfaction. Now it's all right, how legitimate this opportunity is.

"Seventh brother, as princes, we must act magnanimously and not be so mean and ungrateful."

Chu Yuchen suppressed the urge to spit on Chu Yuming's face, and said, "Is the money owed by the second emperor finally raised? Don't dare to embarrass Mr. Qin again. After all, there are only two servants in the household department..."

"You..." Chu Yuming suppressed his anger, and his voice visibly sank, "What does Seventh Brother mean?"

Chu Yuchen ignored his second brother, looked at his father and said, "Father, the old emperor is still busy working for the country, he is younger than the old emperor, how can he be so young?" Why did Gao return to his hometown because of his retirement?

What's more, the national treasury was emptied because of him, and the household department was in chaos because of him. How could he just walk away like this?Not so cheap.There is no need for an official like him in the court, but there is a lack of servants under the servants, so let him be a servant with no official or job, and when the sins are redeemed, when will it be over .

Also, I heard that his youngest son was acquired after he was over [-] years old, and he has developed a whole body of problems. He usually behaves very arrogantly in Beijing, and he is also the master of rampage among all the princes and brothers.

Well, Erchen is short of an errand runner, and Erchen sees that his youngest son is just right. "

Chu Yuming glanced at the Seventh Prince jokingly, and snorted disdainfully in his heart, thinking that he was promising, but it was just to humiliate him.

That's good too, it's better to keep it under your nose and watch it than to spend all your time trying to get rid of people on the way without leaving a trace.Zuo Zhangyan said that the old man dared to leave the certificate privately, he deserved to be humiliated.

But the words that came out were: "Seventh brother, how could you humiliate Lord Zuo like this, after all, Lord Zuo is also a veteran of the two dynasties..."

See, whoever you are is what you think of others.

Hearing Chu Yuming blurt out these words, Zuo Zhangyan's cold heart was completely cold.Others don't understand, but he understands somewhat.

His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince seemed to be looking into his faults, and didn't want him to return to his hometown after returning to his post, but he was actually protecting him, and his family's life.

Previously, when he thought that he could return to his hometown, he didn't think much about it, but now that he thinks about it carefully, even if the old master succeeded in asking for him, he might not be able to return to his hometown.

As for the second prince's mean and ungrateful temperament, he might use the hands of gangsters to take the lives of his family on the way, so as to avoid future troubles.After all, he has too many handles on him...

Master Zhou didn't have such dirty thoughts, so he wouldn't think about it.But the seventh prince, who is also the prince and has been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, knows the second prince's methods and temperament best.

Therefore, people are saved under the guise of humiliation.

After figuring this out, he couldn't figure out why His Highness the Seventh Highness was willing to save his family at the expense of his own reputation?Although he couldn't figure it out, it didn't prevent Zuo Zhangyan from kowtowing and thanking him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Seventh Highness is right. It is too cheap for a criminal minister to return to his hometown. Except for the criminal minister and his youngest son, the eldest son and grandson of the criminal minister are also willing to work as handymen under the Seventh Highness. to atone for previous sins."

This attitude is quite sincere.
