Duan Shengtong is in his fifties, but because he is a nobleman, he looks only about forty years old. He is wearing a silk and gorgeous clothes and is extremely noble. In comparison, Guo Zude, who is sitting with him, looks much simpler.

As a minister, Guo Zude dressed very ordinary in his clothes. He was thin and dark in his skin, and was inconspicuous.

Because it was a private matter, he did not wear official uniforms, but just wore a dark gray cloth shirt. If he walked out of the street, who would dare to admit that he was a central official?

Even so, Duan Shengtong did not dare to neglect. He stood up and bowed his waist, held the wine glass with both hands, and smiled and said, "It's rare that Lord Guo came to the humble house. I'll give you a cup."

This is not a polite word, because Guo Zude did come here? He has invited him many times but was rejected. He took the initiative to come to the door.

Then Guo Zude seemed to be unhappy and didn't even hold up the wine glass.

He said in a deep voice: "What you have done recently is too much!"

Duan Shengtong was slightly stunned. He still kept bent down and bowed, and said, "Sir, I'm worried too much. Your Majesty has not returned for many days. The situation in the court has changed drastically. We just want to get what we lost again!"

"You should be glad!"

Guo Zude said quietly: "The establishment of the new dynasty begins, and the three major families of the previous dynasty are destroyed in one day. If you can stay, you should know how to cherish it."

"yes!"

Duan Shengtong put down his wine glass and continued: "We should be grateful, but have we not paid enough?"

"Do you think that Your Majesty is truly kind?"

"The three major families of Qu family, Jing family, and Zhao family are the largest families in the previous dynasty, but they are not ruthless in dealing with them. They kill the three families, destroy the three generations, and prevent one person from living. He is deterring us!"

"The reason why he keeps us is because we have too many resources in our hands. He wants to ensure stability and squeeze us out. It seems kind, but in fact it is a kindness and a kindness!"

"Since you know Your Majesty's methods, you still dare to be so presumptuous?"

Guo Zude's expression was not clear about his joy and anger.

"He's gone!"

Duan Shengtong spread his hands and said, "I have never heard of any His Majesty who left directly before the new dynasty was established, and he had been leaving for such a long time."

"Aren't you afraid that he will come back?"

Guo Zude said in a low voice: "The court officials have made such a fuss, but the prince still has not revealed it. So far, he doesn't know where this Majesty has gone."

"So what?"

Duan Shengtong said, "We just want to get back what we lost. It involves so many people and so many families, which is not so easy to deal with."

"Mr. Guo, you're thinking too much."

"And, Lord Guo, although you have not participated in these recent things, you may not be able to get rid of the relationship..."

Guo Zude remained silent.

He didn't even say anything he agreed clearly, but these were all under his acquiescence.

His birth was equally brilliant, but his family declined, so he was not valued in the previous dynasty.

He is already old, he does not love women, does not greedy for money, and among the central officials, he is the most poor.

Some people say that he is the second generation of Ji Wuchang, because Ji Wuchang was the same at the beginning.

But what is he trying to do?

He just wanted to live a better life for these people left behind from the previous dynasty.

This may be a special psychological satisfaction.

His Majesty took too much steps and directly banned all kinds of privileges of the nobles. It was difficult for these years to pass, so they naturally found him and regarded him as the leader.

He doesn't want to play with power, but he can only abide by the rules of the game and factional disputes. This is a theme that will never change. He needs his own strength.

Then I took off my fun!

He instinctively felt a sense of uneasiness.

These people lost their shackles and seemed to want to restore the throne before...

Although he did not participate or seek benefits, he was all with his tacit consent.

The human heart is uncontrollable!

"Sir, I don't mean anything else, just..."

Guo Zude said, "I warn you not to go too far, and your son will let him restrain himself."

"I see."

Duan Shengtong was busy responding.

"There is the most important thing, and it is my bottom line. The princes of Dongchu have been very uneasy recently and have sent a large number of visitors to Beijing to try to get through the joints and collude with officials."

Guo Zude said in a deep voice: "If you dare to have any connection, I will be the first to spare you. This is the bottom line..."

"Mr. Guo, you are too cautious!"

Duan Shengtong spoke: "The current situation of the court is changing, and the prince's ruler obviously cannot suppress many court officials. Our faction is stronger than the other two factions, and you are too low-key!"

"Enough!"

Guo Zude directly scolded: "If I were not low-key, could I have today? Remember what I said, otherwise no one would be able to protect you!"

You obviously mean more than Duan Shengtong, this is all the old dynasty forces!

After saying that, Guo Zude stood up and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the door was pushed open and a person hurried in.

"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to bother Mr. Guo and me?"

Duan Shengtong had a bad expression.

"Master, something big happened!"

The man hurriedly said, "The young master was in danger in Yi'an District. The man had many master guards. He was suspected to be a member of the Supreme Sect. Please hurry up immediately!"

"Taishangshu?"

Guo Zude and Duan Shengtong's expression changed slightly. This is definitely a taboo now, and no one dares to neglect it.

"Go and go right away!"

Since someone was sent to inform him, it must be that his son had encountered something that he could not handle.

In the early days of the founding of the New Dynasty, several of his sons were executed for violating the law, so he particularly liked and loved Duan Ziming.

He could not protect him in the past, but now he has the ability and will definitely protect him.

As for the message of the Supreme Teaching, he did not believe it. This must be the idea of ​​his son, and he designated the person who offended him as the Supreme Teaching, so there are sufficient reasons.

Yes, this kid knows how to use his brain too!

"Go to notify the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Mansion, I want to see who dares to have such courage!"

Duan Shengtong thinks this is a good opportunity. If you take the opportunity to make a big splash, you can show your presence, which is beneficial...

"I'll go with you."

Guo Zude said immediately.

No matter whether it is true or false, as long as the three words "Taishang Teaching" are mentioned, they have to be taken seriously.

"It would be better if Lord Guo is with him."

Duan Shengtong is even more confident!

Soon, this matter spread throughout the government offices. Even if it did not involve too few tutors, it was not a trivial matter. After all, so many people were killed or injured, and the Duan family's son was involved.
