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

Fighting weapons consumes extremely pig iron, and no one wants to beat them, so shouldn't they lose money? For the sake of livelihood, Gu Chenglian stopped fighting.

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

"Third brother, if this person is really an official of the Armaments Bureau, do you really want to go to the Armaments Bureau? As long as you enter the imperial court, you will not be so free. Moreover, if a mistake is made, the punishment will not be small. In the Ordnance Bureau, he leads Yulu to live every month, and he has to support Xiaoyue and them. You have to take all of this into account. ”

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

But when you enter the imperial court, how can it be so good? When you need to keep it secret, you may not be able to go home once in ten days and half a month.

If there is a mistake, punishment is indispensable, which is definitely not as comfortable as opening a shop yourself.

There is no benefit other than being able to touch weapons every day.

Building weapons every day is tiring for everyone. I'm afraid that Gu Chenglian will really enter the Ordnance Bureau, and he will feel bored.

Gu Chenglian was stunned, he only thought about doing what he liked before, but he forgot that there were so many doorways here.

"Third brother think about it, don't rush this matter first. I'll go to the yamen to inquire and see if there really is such a person in the Ministry of Industry. It's too early to talk about that. ”

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

Even if you become a craftsman in the Ordnance Bureau, not everyone can do it. However, this matter will be discussed until he inquires.

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

"It's that I didn't think it through, and I didn't think about things as thoughtful as Xiaobao. Then when you find out about this person, let's discuss this matter again! ”

The next day, as soon as Gu Chengyu arrived at Dali Temple, he heard Wang Fu 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 Wei's face made Gu Chengyu very curious.

He hung his cloak on a hanger before turning around and asking, "What's the news?" ”

"Does this have anything to do with you? It is said that early in the morning, Lord Shoufu handed a sign into the palace, wanting to ask the emperor to be kind to Lord Min of the Hanlin Academy, but was reprimanded by the emperor. The emperor was very disgusted with the officials involved in the Jiangnan flood case, and ordered the prince to settle the matter within three days. ”

The news that Wang Wei said this time is not insignificant, Gu Chengyu didn't expect that he would hear such important news as soon as he stepped into Dali Temple.

He glanced deeply at Wang Wei, and the smile on the other party's face became a little stiff under his gaze.

It seems that this king has a lot of connections in the court! It didn't take long for him to inquire about such an important matter.

Gu Chengyu shifted his gaze, 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 give such an order?" ”

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

Afraid that the prince would release Min Feng like this if he didn't agree, Xia Qing was anxious, so he ran to beg the emperor. After all, it has been several days since he returned to the capital, and Min Feng is still locked up in Dali Temple.

However, the crown prince didn't know what to think, and he never made a decision on the officials involved in the greedy ink, and it seemed that the emperor was dissatisfied with the prince's efficiency.

Also, this matter should actually be more vigorous. The greedy Mo court allocated silver taels to build the river embankment, which is simply a great crime.

Such officials, even if they are allowed to die a hundred times, will not be able to make up for the mistakes they have committed.

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

If these corrupt officials are not severely punished, will the people still be able to trust the court?

Could it be that the prince is still collecting evidence? Gu Chengyu shook his head, too indecisive.

At this time, we should first arrest a few officials who are the most greedy for ink, and make an example of them, and the other officials will make decisions in the future.

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 is everything. As long as a few are caught with some weight, the evidence does not need to be collected by itself at all, it can jump out on its own.

Compared with the emperor, the prince is still too tender after all, and he is not as determined as the emperor!

As an emperor, sometimes you have to be cold and hard, otherwise how can you keep those old oilers in officialdom?

"Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has other plans? It's just that the emperor was angry at the time, so he simply downgraded Lord Min to a level. Now the household department is handling the official document of Lord Min's demotion, and he has also come out of Dali Temple. ”

"Oh? Came out? Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, was it just a demotion by one level? Then it seems that the emperor and Xia Qing have reached an agreement.

In fact, this matter can be big or small, after all, it is only one hundred taels of gold, and the amount of greedy ink is not large.

At most, one more crime of dereliction of duty is not a major crime. The emperor took it lightly, perhaps because of Xia Qing's benefits, or maybe it was for Xia Qing's sake, so he opened the net.

None of that matters, though. Before he could ask Min Feng about his current official position, Yun Zemin's voice sounded outside the door.

"My lord! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince urgently summons you to the East Palace to discuss matters! Yun Zemin's voice was getting closer and closer, and as soon as he finished speaking, the person had already arrived in the house.

When he saw that Wang Wei was also in the house, Yun Zemin's eyes couldn't help but flash.

Gu Chengyu put down the file, and the prince urgently summoned him, it must have been because of the imperial decree just now.

He didn't delay, put on his cloak, and went to the East Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Prince!" As soon as he entered the East Palace, Gu Chengyu saw that the prince's face was very ugly.

"Gu Aiqing is here, no need to be polite!"

"Early this morning, because Xia Shoufu went to his father to intercede for his disciple without hiding from the palace, he was reprimanded by his father. Then my father ordered the palace to conclude the Jiangdi corruption case within three days. However, the palace has already ordered someone to go to Jiangnan to collect evidence, and there should be news in the next two days. The father was so anxious, and the palace also followed Xia Shoufu to eat a meal. ”

Speaking of this, 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 it go easily, otherwise wouldn't he set a bad example for hundreds of officials?

didn't expect Xia Qing's request to work for him, so he turned around and begged his father. As a result, he was also severely beaten by his father, and he lost face.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, in two days, will you really be able to collect evidence?" Gu Chengyu lowered his eyebrows, but the meaning of his words made the prince stunned.

He couldn't help frowning, "There must be evidence, it's just that those big fish refuse to take the bait." Several of the main officers who committed the crime, the evidence is not sufficient. ”
