"Your Majesty, is this true?"

Guo Pu no longer thought about how to explain the misunderstanding to the emperor, but instead, he was as if he was struck by lightning, staring at Jiajing and directly seeking proof.

When Jiajing heard this question, he felt like the imperial power was being provoked, and his face instantly became ugly.

Seeing this scene, Huang Jin deliberately protected Guo Pu, and immediately stood up to ease the atmosphere and accused him: "Mr. Guo, someone met the third person who reported the death in your family at Yongding Gate today. Your mansion is now

After hanging up the mourning cloth, even the family has already known about this. Do you think there is a falsehood?”

"Why do you think this is the case?"

Guo Pu immediately believed Huang Jin's words, and his brain couldn't help but buzz and his thoughts became extremely confused.

Not only was he caught off guard by the news of his father's sudden death, but if this matter was true, he would not only have to go home to mourn for three years, but also face a big trouble.

When his cousin Guo Yuntao came to report the demise, he unilaterally believed Deputy Manager Liu and ordered him to drive Guo Yuntao out of Guo's mansion, and even openly denied the death of his father.

But now the matter has been proven true. His father has really passed away. This is undoubtedly a blatant slap in the face, and it is even more suspicious of hiding the news of his father's death for the sake of power.

But now, the emperor is a very filial person.

In the past, in order to give him a good reputation, the emperor stood opposite to all civil and military officials, and initiated that protracted ritual. He even sent King Xingxian to the Taimiao, and now he still put Yuan Wei in charge.

Edited "Xingdu Zhi".

But no matter how good the impression he had created for the emperor, he had already fallen to the bottom of the emperor's heart by hiding suspicion of reporting his demise for the sake of power.

It is no wonder that the emperor was so angry that he really lost the emperor's heart in this matter.

Jiajing's anger came to his heart, and he immediately asked sternly: "Meng Sheng, Huazhou, hid his mother's patriarch, and the Dali Temple was cut off, and Meng Sheng was specially ordered to commit suicide. Guo Aiqing, are you going to learn from Meng Sheng?"

The Book of Rites says: When a parent dies, he will not go into politics for three years. This is true. No matter how powerful an official is, if he encounters a parent's funeral, he will stay away from the officialdom for three years.

Since communication and transportation were not developed at this time, the court was not easy to verify such things one by one, so the incident of "hiding the deceased and not taking the deceased" has occurred frequently. Even though the "Tang Law" sentencing, the deceased and not taking the deceased and not taking the deceased and not taking the deceased.

Those who still continue to ban it repeatedly.

Jiajing deliberately took an official named Meng Sheng in Huazhou as an example. Meng Sheng concealed the news of his mother's death. In the end, the story was revealed, and he was sentenced to exile and then sentenced to death.

Although Guo Pu knew that the emperor could not use the severe criminal law, a cold sweat surged in his back and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, please be clear, I don't know!"

"Do you still want to hide it?" Jiajing put down his memorial heavily and glared at Guo Pu and asked.

Guo Pu's tears came as he said, and he seemed to be injustice and defended: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I am loyal to the emperor and filial to my father. How can I do such unfaithful and unfilial things

If I do this, I will die if I get thousands of arrows pierce my heart!”

"You really don't know?" Jiajing asked seriously with his eyes narrowed.

Guo Pu looked at Jiajing with tears in his eyes, and took the opportunity to explain: "Previously, Deputy Butler Liu came to the capital, but did not mention the death report. He only sent a letter and specialty. Then the cousin came back

At that time, although he came to report the death, he did not have a letter from his family. He even claimed that Deputy Butler Liu was the first to report the death, so he was considered to have been deceived and came to Beijing to report the death. At that time, I was thinking about the plan of Beijing to investigate the situation.

It is related to the foundation of the country, so it is clear that the funeral is nothing. I have never hidden my funeral. I also ask the emperor to investigate it clearly!”

At the end of the day, two lines of tears had already crossed their cheeks and fell onto their collars. However, he did not bow his head, but instead turned his face to Jiajing, looking like he was injustice.

"You're serious?" Jiajing asked softly when he saw him.

Guo Pu was secretly happy, but raised his finger and swore seriously: "If there is a half false statement, I wish heaven and earth to be killed!"

Jiajing sighed lightly, and he had already believed it eight points.

He has been in charge of this dynasty for forty-two years. It has been common for him to not know the virtues of this court.

It is also possible that Guo Pu was fooled by someone, and the Deputy Butler Liu was bribed by someone else, and finally, under the secret action, Guo Pu was charged with hiding his demise.

Guo Pu saw Jiajing not speaking, but was unsure, so he took the initiative to tentatively: "Emperor, now I know that my father has died, please allow me to return to my hometown to Dingyou!"

Dingyou, these two words are full of bitterness.

According to the court's regulations, he would leave the capital for three years. Even at this moment, he also hoped that the emperor could speak out and keep him in love.

Like Yan Shifan, the former one, he did not return to his hometown to be filial, but was granted his permission to be filial in the capital. On the contrary, he was far more holy than Yan Shifan. Maybe the emperor would seize his affection for him and let him continue to stay in the position of Minister of Personnel.

superior.

"You write a memorial!" Although Jiajing could not pursue the matter of hiding the mourning and not taking any action, it was impossible to seize Guo Pu's affection, and responded plainly.

Guo Pu couldn't help but feel disappointed, and the last glimmer of hope was completely extinguished.

Just now, he was the Minister of Personnel who was in charge of the life and death of all officials in the capital. Now, with his father's death, he was about to leave the capital for three years and stay away from this power center.

Huang Jin looked at Guo Pu who was kneeling on the ground with sympathy, and his eyes also lost the previous fear, as if the person in front of him was just an ordinary official.

"I obey the order!" Guo Pu naturally did not dare to issue an objection, but looked up and asked respectfully, "Master, today's matters in the Beijing Prefecture are still a little short of the time. Do you have to continue?"

As long as he can successfully complete this matter and his team is promoted during this Beijing inspection, he will retain a strong political capital. Not to mention that he will continue to be in power in the future, even the throne of the prime minister can be fought for.

Previous contest.

Jiajing frowned slightly, picked up a memorial and said lightly: "There is a lot of noise in your affairs now. Let's take it a little while, just go home!"

"I'm leaving!" Guo Pu's heart had already sunk to the bottom of the valley, and he gave a serious tribute to Jiajing who was reviewing the memorial.

He was finally able to stand up from the ground, but he was going to leave the place and the court. After a slowdown, he didn't know where the Beijing Campaign would go this year and what kind of fate his team would have.

Huang Jin watched Guo Pu leave in dismay, but couldn't help but whisper to Jiajing who had already put down his memorial: "Your Majesty, maybe Guo Shangshu doesn't know it, he was indeed framed!"

"This is no longer important!" Jiajing waved his hand lightly.

Huang Jin heard this and knew that Guo Pu’s affairs had no place to go, but he couldn’t help but look at Feng Bao who had been standing next to the red lacquer pillar. Feng Bao’s face remained calm.
