Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 380 I don’t want to be the Minister of Household Affairs! (Please subscribe!!)

"Damn, something big happened again!?"

Ouyang Lun stood up from the rocking chair and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Is the sky falling or the ground sinking?"

"As long as the world doesn't end, it doesn't matter!!"

"Old Wu, if you don't mind your own business, why do you come here to me?"

"Prince-in-law, Mr. Guo Ziguo was removed from his official post and sent to prison by His Majesty in the Tai Chi Palace this morning." Wu Jinzhi said quickly.

brush!
Ouyang Lun jumped up from the rocking chair and asked in surprise: "What! Lao Guo has been thrown into the sky prison! What happened? Why?"

Guo Zi was his old boss and a political ally. As the Minister of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed a big event that he was suddenly captured and imprisoned.

Seeing Ouyang Lun asking, Wu Jinzhi and others all looked at him.

"Um, what are you looking at me doing?"

Ouyang Lun frowned, as if he had guessed something, "Does the look in your eyes mean that Lao Guo's arrest has something to do with me?"

There was even more murmuring in my heart.

"Prince-in-law, this morning..."

So figure it out first.

Faced with the greetings of the ministers, Ouyang Lun also responded enthusiastically. People who didn't know better thought that Ouyang Lun was a frequent visitor to this Tai Chi Hall. They had no idea that Ouyang Lun had only been to this Tai Chi Hall a few times.

"Tell me everything that happened this morning!"

"Isn't it just that we have conquered the four southern provinces? Why are we so proud?"

"Tomorrow when those people see the Prince Consort, I will see how arrogant they will be!"

……

Just when all the civil and military officials were looking at the gate of Taiji Hall expectantly, Ouyang Lun's figure appeared.

Wu Jinzhi nodded and continued: "Prince-in-law, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. Not only does His Majesty have an opinion against you, but the group of people from the Huaixi Party saw this and launched a crazy attack on us. This time it is Guo Zi, next time it will probably be me. When we are all dealt with, it will be you, the consort, in the end."

"Damn it!" Ouyang Lun scolded directly, "The Huaixi Party has just caused big trouble in the four southern provinces. The Huaixi Party was also involved in Guo Huan's case. They did so many bad things, and every one of them was dishonest and low-key. Some, on the contrary, took the opportunity to cause trouble, well...well!"

"Prince-in-law, we will always support you! Support you!"

Wu Jinzhi seriously told Ouyang Lun everything that happened this morning.

"Long time no see, Prince Consort!"

"Hey! It's been a long time since I last saw you, Mr. Song! You're so old and you're still here?"

Everyone from the Huaixi Party gathered together and watched Ouyang Lun greet other officials with cold eyes.

"Haha, it's just a joke. With your body, you have no problem living a long life."

"Hello, Prince Consort!"

……

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was petty, but he didn't expect that he was so petty. He just didn't go to court for more than half a month. Is this old guy so disgusted with it?

"With the Prince Consort taking us, it doesn't matter what the Huaixi Party is, just do it and that's it!"

"Your Majesty, you have done a great job in the four southern provinces!"

"Master Guo is saved."

Normally, Ouyang Lun didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the court, but it already involved the people around him. If he didn't care anymore, I don't know what kind of madness Zhu Yuanzhang would get.

"Hmph, Lan Yu, Feng Sheng and other Huaixi nobles relied on themselves to make contributions to the Ming Dynasty, but they don't take us literati seriously. How many of them can compare their merits in front of the Prince Consort!?"

Morning starts normally.

All eyes in Tai Chi Hall were turned to Ouyang Lun.

"Old Wu, you go back first. I will go to Tai Chi Hall in person tomorrow."

Wu Jinzhi nodded and said: "Prince-in-law, we made a careful analysis on the way here and came to the conclusion that the reason why His Majesty attacked Mr. Guo was mainly because you never went to court."

After listening to Wu Jinzhi's words, Ouyang Lun suddenly understood and said in a deep voice: "You are right, my emperor's father-in-law is indeed coming for me."

"With the Prince Consort taking action, we will be more confident."

"The emperor forced me, and the Huaixi Party also came to frame me... What else can I say? Just fight!"

"Lao Lu...you are still so thin. It seems that you go to a brothel every day. Do you want me to get you some aphrodisiac? Everyone who has used it has said yes!"

There are officials who are close to Ouyang Lun, and there are also officials who don't want to see Ouyang Lun, such as Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, Wang Bi and others of the Huaixi Party.

Ouyang Lun has also been involved in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and there are many familiar officials in the Tai Chi Hall.

"Fuck!" Ouyang Lun was stunned.

When they heard that Ouyang Lun was going to the morning court, Wu Jinzhi and others all looked happy.

the next day.

Like Song Lian and Lu Chang, although they were not members of the Prince Consort Party, they had a good personal relationship with Ouyang Lun. Ouyang Lun's achievements for the Ming Dynasty over the years were enough to earn the respect of these officials.

coming! !
Swish———

"That's right, I heard that when something happened in the four southern provinces, there were people everywhere buying up projects, stocks and assets in the four southern provinces at low prices. It was probably Ouyang Lun's fault!"

"Do you have any evidence?" Feng Sheng asked quickly.

"No...no. If there was evidence, I would have read Ouyang Lun's book."

"Hmph, this guy's fox tail will show up sooner or later. We used to be in Beizhili, followed by the four southern provinces. We were far away from Ouyang Lun, but now Ouyang Lun is in the capital, we have to keep an eye on him!" Lan Yu said in a deep voice.

Just at this time.

"His Majesty is here!"

As Wang Zhong's sharp voice sounded, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly walked into the Tai Chi Hall, and finally sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the civil and military officials below.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes quickly swept across the civil and military officials, and he easily locked onto Ouyang Lun's figure.

Seeing Ouyang Lun appear in the Tai Chi Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth corners slightly rose, secretly chuckling.

Aren’t you Ouyang Lun amazing? Isn't it lazy?

You still have to come to court obediently.

Now that Ouyang Lun had come to court, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry, but asked calmly: "My dear friends, is there anything to discuss or start a memorial today?"

As Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

A Huaixi Party official stood up after being signaled by Lan Yu's eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Back to Your Majesty, Guo Zi has been dismissed from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue after being found guilty. We don't care what to do with Guo Zi for now, but the post of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue must not remain vacant. Your Majesty, please appoint the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue as soon as possible!"

As soon as this Huaixi Party official finished speaking, another Huaixi Party official stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's money and food. If the Ministry of Revenue is in chaos, the world will be in chaos. Your Majesty, please make a decision early!"

"Your Majesty, Duke Liang has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. There is no problem in taking charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

"Your Majesty, please appoint Liang Guogong as the Minister of Household Affairs to stabilize the country!"

Swish--

Huaixi Party officials continued to stand up to speak for Lan Yu, and soon most of the officials came out in the Taiji Hall.

The power of the Huaixi Party remains!

After everyone else had finished speaking, Lan Yu stood up slowly, raised her hands to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, although I am a military general, I have led troops in wars for many years, and I know a lot about money and food. I am confident that if I become the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs , I will definitely be able to take charge of the household department and make Ming Dynasty’s financial resources reach a higher level!”

Seeing that the Huaixi Party still had such great power, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little shocked, but he soon calmed down.

He quietly glanced at Ouyang Lun again, only to find that this guy actually had a smile on his face.

"Ha ha--"

Ouyang Lun laughed out loud.

For a moment, the entire Tai Chi Hall fell silent, and only Ouyang Lun's undisguised laughter could be heard. "Ouyang Lun...why are you laughing!?"

From Ouyang Lun's laughter, Lan Yu heard the ruthless ridicule.

Lan Yu has already become a prince, how can he accept such ridicule, not to mention that the feud between him and Ouyang Lun is deeper than the Yellow River.

"Master Liang, please don't be narcissistic, okay? When I laugh, I must be laughing at you? Do you think what you just said is funny?" Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes at Lan Yu, and then said calmly.

"You... are so bold!" Lan Yu was so angry that she was drunk. "This is the Tai Chi Hall, not in your Beizhili nor in your clan's mansion. To laugh in public and despise the Holy One is a crime of great disrespect!"

"Your Majesty, please punish Ouyang Lun!"

Lan Yu cupped her hands.

With Lan Yu taking the lead, officials from the Huaixi Party showed great unity and agreed one after another.

"Your Majesty, Ouyang Lun is so bold. He didn't come to the morning court for half a month. Now he comes to the morning court and laughs at Duke Liang in front of you. It's totally disrespectful!"

"You must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"

"Your Majesty, please punish Ouyang Lun severely!"

Just when Huaixi Party officials were asking Zhu Yuanzhang to severely punish Ouyang Lun, the Prince Consort Party also began to fight back.

"Your Majesty, Duke Liang is really slanderous. Ouyang Prince Consort has already said that he is not laughing at him, but he insists that he is following the same routine as they framed Mr. Guo yesterday. Please tell me, Your Majesty!"

"That's right, the guilt comes from the mouth, and the conviction... you have to show the evidence!"

"Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, but you are trying to convict Ouyang Prince Consort without opening your mouth. What are your intentions?"

"You said Prince Consort Ouyang is rude, but you are being polite by making such a noise? Should we deal with it together?"

Although the number of people on the Prince Consort Party's side is far less than that of the Huaixi Party, each one has a louder voice than the other, and none of them is a coward.

The two sides started to yell at each other directly in the court.

"enough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded in a deep voice.

quiet--

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's roar, the scene immediately fell silent.

In this Tai Chi Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang is the absolute king.

"This is a court hall, not a vegetable market outside!"

"If any of you argue again, I will give you ten sticks each."

The civil and military officials who did not dare to speak at first were frightened even more and did not dare to speak after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Ten sticks... If I were really beaten, I would be unable to get out of bed for several days. Some elderly people might not be able to withstand it.

And all the officials knew very well that Zhu Yuanzhang really knew how to fight when he said he would.

"Your Majesty, Ouyang Lun not only laughed wantonly in the court, but also allowed other officials to slander me. Please ask your Majesty to uphold justice for me!"

Lan Yu said loudly.

"I love to laugh by nature. When I smile, I am mocking you. How narcissistic are you? I suggest you see a doctor."

Ouyang Lun said lightly.

"Ouyang Lun, you bastard! If you can, let's go out and fight with real swords and guns!"

Lan Yu said loudly.

"I usually don't fight with dogs." Ouyang Lun said with a calm expression.

puff-

Ha ha--

All the officials at the scene burst into laughter.

"If you dare to call me a dog, I will fight with you!" Lan Yu was furious, raised her fist and rushed towards Ouyang Lun.

Ouyang Lun avoided.

"Damn it, don't run away if you can!"

Lan Yu continues to chase Ouyang Lun.

Ouyang Lun kept dodging, but Lan Yu couldn't catch him.

The court suddenly fell into chaos, and some officials were even punched and kicked by Lan Yu by mistake.

"Everyone stop it!"

"Where is the Jin Yiwei!"

Swish--

Ji Gang rushed in with dozens of meters of royal guards.

The scene calmed down.

"Get the blue jade for me!"

"Yes!"

Ji Gang waved his hand, "Take it!"

Several Jinyi guards swarmed up and directly pressed Lan Yu down.

"Your Majesty, why did you take Chen?"

Lan Yu asked with a confused look on his face.

"Lanyu, what I just said fell on deaf ears! If you dare to be violent in the Tai Chi Hall, I think you have forgotten everything!"

"Pull Lan Yu down and give him ten sticks. He is thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Give him twenty sticks!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered.

"Yes!"

Jin Yiwei quickly dragged Lan Yu down, and soon the sound of hitting a board was heard outside.

No one in the court dared to say a word, and everyone listened silently.

After a while, Lan Yu was dragged up again, but at this time, Lan Yu's buttocks were already stained with blood, and her forehead was stained with sweat.

Unable to stand firmly, he could only rely on two Jinyi guards to hold him up.

"Your Majesty, I do not surrender!"

"Ouyang Lun laughed in the court and quarreled and chased his ministers. Why did he only punish the ministers but not him?"

Lan Yu looked at Ouyang Lun with great hatred.

Ouyang Lun spread his hands and said, "Mr. Liang, it was clear that you were chasing me the whole time and I never fought back. Besides, if you hit me, couldn't you let me hide? What kind of gangster logic are you talking about?"

"As for you wanting to know why I'm laughing? I didn't want to tell you at first, but if you ask like this, then I can tell the truth!"

"You are a person who can't even add, subtract, multiply and divide two-digit numbers. What qualifications do you have to be the Minister of Household Affairs? You dare to make false claims to make the Ming Dynasty's treasury richer and richer. It's really ridiculous!"

"You! Why do you say I can't do math!!" Lan Yu asked with a ferocious face.

"Why? Then let me ask you, in one acre of field, there are twenty rice stalks growing horizontally and thirty rice stalks growing vertically. How many rice stalks are there in this field?" Ouyang Lun asked.

"What's so difficult about this? There are fifty in total!" Lan Yu said proudly.

"Wrong! It's six hundred!" Ouyang Lun continued: "You must want to ask why? Haha, go to the field and count them yourself!"

"." Lan Yu was dumbfounded.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "This matter is over now!"

"Ouyang Lun, I think you are pretty good at arithmetic. If that's the case, then you should be the Minister of Household Affairs."

"Yeah!" Ouyang Lun smiled and nodded, but suddenly turned his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, you can be wrong!"

"I'm just saying this to explain why I'm laughing, but I don't want to be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance!!"
