Chapter 180: The court needs you

Emperor Xia's sudden rogue behavior caught Gu Qingci off guard, and what he didn't expect was that the old scholars from the Censorate actually cooperated with Emperor Xia with such a tacit understanding. He looked around, and no minister stood up and said a word, all of them looked like an old god, as if they could not hear or see it.

Emperor Xia stood up and left. Gu Qingci opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He was a little confused now. With the strength he showed now, it shouldn't have allowed Tang Peiyan, a dignified king of a country, to treat him like this, right?

However, for a while, he could not find the answer, so he could only shake his head helplessly and follow all the officials and ministers out of the Golden Palace.

"Mr. Di Yun, please stay!"

After leaving the Golden Palace, Gu Qingci hurriedly ran to the front and stopped Di Yun, the Minister of Justice.

Di Yun stopped and said in confusion: "I wonder what else does Lord Gu have to find me?"

Gu Qingci withdrew his sleeves and held the ceremony sincerely, saying, "Mr. Di, I have offended many of my younger generations in the court just now. I will come to the door to apologize for the next day. I hope you don't take it in your heart."

Di Yun's grim face relaxed, showing a touch of kindness, and said, "Mr. Gu doesn't have to do this. I know that you are not deliberately targeting me. Moreover, I appreciate you quite a lot. I have the aura of young people and the pride of scholars. I hope you can always keep it and set an example for the new generation of young people."

Gu Qingci hurriedly said, "Mr. Di is too much, so I should not praise you like this."

"No, you can afford it!"

At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from beside him. Gu Qingci and Di Yun looked over. Seeing the visitor, Gu Qingci hurriedly held a tribute and said, "Mr. Gu Qingci, I have met Grand Secretary Zeng!"

Zeng Tong walked slowly, his head full of gray hair shining with a little luster under his eyes. He patted Gu Qingci on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Gu, Shangshu Di is right. You should stay and set an example for the younger generation of officials in the court today."

Speaking of this, Zeng Tong suddenly sighed and said, "I don't know if the court is because His Majesty is too powerful, or whether the officials from generation to generation are not good at doing well, they have no more energy as scholars. Look, today, except for a few old people in the Censorate, who dares to say more? This is not possible. If the people in the court only flatter and flatter, then the court will not be in chaos?"

"But, the younger generations who have entered the court over the years have only become tempted by the tyranny. There is no such atmosphere as the court back then, and there is no such thing as Taizu's words about the ruler and ministers governing the world together. Lord Gu, you have the ability and pride. The court needs young people like you. When we all come down, we need officials like you to assist the emperor, rather than those villains who can only meet them all!"

"The emperor is the king of a country. He has to deal with so many things in the world one by one, so he is naturally very busy. He is not a saint and will be confused. If no one comes out to remind him, there will be more and more mistakes. How can this be feasible? So, the words of Shangshu, yes, you should set an example!"

Gu Qingci looked at Di Yun awkwardly. He had known Zeng Tong's words just now, but he scolded him. However, Di Yun seemed to not care at all. Perhaps he was respecting Zeng Tong, and even echoed: "Mr. Gu, Grand Secretary Zeng's words were right. When I first entered the court, Grand Secretary Zeng and his generation were all strong and strong. At that time, our younger generation had a barometer of learning."

"But, this tradition of discussion between the monarch and the ministers has indeed been ruined by my generation. Nowadays, young people who enter the court are like old people and do not have much backbone. Alas, it is difficult for you to finally have a young man who is not afraid of power, and you shouldn't retire."

Gu Qingci looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart. They are not saints, but they are truly dedicated to this country. However, Gu Qingci knew very well how much he was and said, "I'm afraid I can only let down the two people's love. I am indeed not in the court!"

This generation of emperors was indeed a great talent, but it was precisely because the emperor was too strong that the tradition of the ruler and ministers of the Xia Kingdom, which had always been in power, seemed to have gradually changed. In the past, scholars in the court dared to point out the emperor's mistakes, not because of disrespect, but because of their true pride. But in recent years, fewer and fewer people dared to do so.

Perhaps the country has been stable and no longer stormy as before. Everyone began to think about fighting for power and profit, but they were just thinking about fighting for power and profit, how to cater to the emperor, but fewer and fewer people really wanted to do things for the people of the world. Even if there were still, they were all at a disadvantage or isolated and helpless.

Everything will turn back when extremes. The emperor's ability is too strong, which will only make the court officials below even more useless. Therefore, famous ministers have been foolish since ancient times.

Gu Qingci and Zeng Tongye Di Yun chatted for a few words, then said goodbye and left.

Looking at Gu Qingci's back as he left, Zeng Tong sighed softly and said, "Shangshu Di, what a good seedling, why are you thinking about retiring at a young age? To put it bluntly, this is the loss of the entire Daxia!"

Di Yun smiled and said, "If this kid were able to leave the court on weekdays, but during this period of time, His Majesty would never be able to leave him. Even if he was a scoundrel, His Majesty would find a way to keep him."

"Oh," Zeng Tong frowned and asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Di Yun raised his head, passed through the city gate, looked at the street outside the city wall, and said, "According to the convention, the Three Kingdoms Alliance should be in my Daxia this year!"

Zeng Tong suddenly realized and said, "Three years ago, our Daxia was so embarrassed that His Majesty almost killed the eldest son-in-law. This year, Gu Qingci will definitely be able to be proud."

Di Yun nodded and said, "Young Master Jian's power is unparalleled in the world. Moreover, according to my guess, Your Majesty is very likely to learn from Taizu and enthrone the imperial court and walk around the world!"

…………

This stagnant pool of water in the capital began to fluctuate completely. The Minister of Rites was imprisoned and sentenced to death in the autumn. This news caused a huge storm, and waves were pushed around the world. The sword master Gu Qingci once again shocked the world.

Immediately afterwards, the story of Gu Qingci facing the emperor in the Golden Palace was also spread, and then it was reported that Gu Qingci was about to resign from his post and retire, completely confirming that Gu Qingci entered the capital thousands of miles away, just for his fellow comrades and strong. During this period, these things were all legendary in the world, both in the world and in the world.
