Young Master Liu held the memorial in his hand and frowned. He stared at it deeply for a long time. The civil and military ministers finally noticed something was wrong with Young Master Liu's expression.
Li Baiyu naturally saw it clearly. It was not an option for Liu Mingzhi to hold the memorial in silence for a long time. After all, this was still above the court, so Li Baiyu had to call out to Young Master Liu.
"Um?"
Young Master Liu came back to his senses and felt a little ashamed when he saw the strange look in the eyes of a group of people.
"Your Majesty, I am discourteous, please forgive me."
Li Baiyu waved his hand generously: "It doesn't matter, there is something wrong with the memorial, so Liu Aiqing made you think deeply about it for a long time?"
Liu Mingzhi slowly closed the memorial and shook his head with a chuckle: "Reporting to your majesty, there is nothing wrong. It's just that my younger brother has just returned to the palace, and his wife Liu Qiyun complained that his legitimate son Chengzhi was neglectful in discipline and his studies have been neglected for a long time."
"Especially his book, which is shaped like a crawling insect and cannot bear to be looked at directly."
"My brother has preached many times, but this rebellious son does not know how to repent. My brother hates iron, but he cannot be beaten to death."
"That's why, when my brother accidentally looked at Ye Shangshu's writing, he was immediately astonished."
"The shape is elegant and the bones of the characters are strong and powerful. I couldn't help but think of my brother's rebellious son. I pondered for a long time and thought about whether I should accept the rebellious son as a disciple of Ye Shangshu. I asked Ye Shangshu to supervise him."
"I never want this child to be incompetent in literature or martial arts, and his whole life will be ruined!"
Ye Kaiming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, had a slightly red face, and Young Master Liu's compliments were a bit exaggerated.
I still know my own calligraphy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I have achieved a little success, but I really don't dare to make Ding Guogong, who is also famous for cursive writing both inside and outside the court, say such amazing words of praise.
Live in it.
The compliment was a bit too much.
Only then did Manchao Wenwu understand why Young Master Liu was deep in thought. Looking at Young Master Liu's gritted teeth, he nodded with deep approval on his face.
Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and teaching children this aspect is indeed a big problem.
Only the drowsy Duke of Jing Yun Yang, who had closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, opened one eye slightly, glanced at Young Master Liu, and then continued to doze off.
I don’t know why this old guy is so lethargic. He doesn’t seem to have had enough sleep every time he goes to court.
Li Baiyu thought that Yunyang was old and it was natural for him to be a little sleepy.
Fortunately, Yunyang was still awake at the critical moment, and over time, Li Baiyu acquiesced to Yunyang's behavior in the court.
"Liu Aiqing, the eldest prince Li Ye, and the second prince Li Tao's teacher is Dr. Wang from the Imperial College. It's really not possible for a master of calligraphy to send your son to the palace to study with Li Ye and Li Tao."
"It just so happens that these two boys are shouting that it's too boring every day."
All the civil and military officials in the court exclaimed, "What an honor it is to study with the prince."
However, many old foxes also looked at Mr. Liu with strange eyes, wanting to see how he would answer.
No matter how noble the status of the eldest prince is, he has never been established as prince.
The day when Li Baiyu will marry the Queen has not yet been decided, and it is not yet known who will be the crown prince.
"Your Majesty, I have the audacity to live up to Your Majesty's kindness."
"The reputation of the three little princes and treacherous sons of my brother's family in the Imperial College is really..."
"My family is unlucky, and my younger brother has no way of educating his children!"
"Let's not talk about this matter. After the court is over, I will discuss it with my wife and take the dog to Ye Shangshu's house to pay a visit. Then Ye Shangshu will not be unwelcome and turn me away."
"Dong Guo Ding is joking, I will definitely sweep the couch to wait for you."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a faint smile and handed the memorial to the official on the side: "Your Majesty, let's continue circulating the memorial first."
Li Baiyu nodded silently and said nothing more: "Yeah!"
In the time it took a stick of incense, all the civil and military officials circulated the memorial, and the contents of the memorial were all written in their minds.
Many officials were under the Ouchi guard and sent their families away before the people from the Penal Department Yamen arrived. By the time the Ouchi guard arrived, the official's family members had already disappeared.
It is obvious that he intends to leave a root for himself and bear all the blame for himself.
He is indeed a courageous man.
The memorial returned to Li Baiyu's Dragon Case, and Li Baiyu quietly scanned the civil and military officials.
"My beloved ministers, do you have any objections to the punishment of these criminal officials according to the advice of Duke Dingguo?"
The civil and military officials glanced at each other, looked at the other four old gods and the auxiliary ministers, and shook their heads in tacit agreement.
"I am no different than you!"
"As long as you have no objections, Xingbu!"
"The old minister is here."
"After the dispersal of the dynasty, the sword and axe-hands were ordered to execute the execution after three quarters of noon, and the beheading was indicated."
"Your Majesty! I have something to say."
Li Baiyu looked at Mr. Liu helplessly, wondering what else this guy wanted to do.
"Accurate performance."
"Your Majesty, the officials outside the Meridian Gate worked hard for the imperial court's tax burden, and finally died after exhausting themselves. They died of exhaustion and exhaustion. Such loyal officials who served the country deserve a rich burial!"
Li Baiyu looked at Mr. Liu in shock for a long time, then nodded with understanding.
"What Duke Dingguo said is right. These beloved ministers have worked hard for the country and the people, and they have to be assisted by good ministers. It is my good fortune, and the world's good fortune, to be buried well."
"Xingbu!"
"The old minister is here."
"Give them a decent death."
Ye Kaiming glanced at Young Master Liu strangely and nodded silently: "I obey the order."
All the civil and military officials looked at Young Master Liu with different eyes. Duke Dingguo had really taken great pains to protect His Majesty's face.
The officials of the Thirty-one Mansion collectively deceived the superiors and concealed the truth from the subordinates. If the news spread, it would be a huge blow to His Majesty's prestige.
Something like this happened just one year after he ascended the throne. Once word spreads, it will be exploited by those who are interested, and it will become a public opinion that His Majesty cannot distinguish between loyal and evil, and has no knowledge of others.
The Ouchi guards arrived just in time, and the forced expropriation of the people's surplus food had not yet reached the point of being out of control, and it could be reversed with a little effort.
The current message transmission speed is not as fast as that of later generations, and it can be spread throughout the entire network in minutes.
Rumors at this time would not spread for three to five months, and after a while, it would be difficult to tell whether they were true or not.
As long as you appease the people who have been forced to requisition their remaining grain, this matter will end in vain over time.
No wonder the former emperor favored and trusted Duke Dingguo so much, and the new emperor relied heavily on Duke Dingguo.
The way other people deal with the world is indeed worth learning from others.
It's just a bit shameless. Black people can be called white, and white people can be called black.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, hasn’t this been the way the world has been since ancient times?
Life is like chess, it’s hard to distinguish between black and white!
Li Baiyu sighed silently, and his respect for his father became even stronger in his heart.
After all, he is an unparalleled hero, and his ability to judge people cannot be matched by his own.
"Retreat from the court."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live long live."
After Li Baiyu left, all the officials got up and walked out of the hall one after another, and Master Liu was naturally no exception.
"Dong Guo, please wait a moment. I want to chat with Duke Ding."
About a hundred steps out of the Qinzheng Hall, Young Master Liu felt his neck being strangled. Just as he was about to resist, Lao Jiang's figure rang in his ears.
He nodded with a weird look on his face: "Old Jiang, what kind of hatred or resentment do you have? Why do you want to strangle me? As for that?"
The restraint on his neck was loosened, Young Master Liu turned around and saw Jiang Yuanming quietly adjusting his official robes and looking at him with deep eyes.
"Sir, you have changed after going out."
Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, nodded with a complex expression, turned around and looked at the civil and military officials walking in groups towards the outside of the palace and sighed.
"It's too tiring to go upstream, but it's more comfortable to go with the flow!"
