Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Although the two men belonged to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War respectively, the Ministry of Revenue, as the purse of the entire Ming Dynasty, of course had contact with other departments, so they were not unfamiliar with each other.

"It's over, it's over... I knew it wasn't going to be good. They've summoned me from the Ministry of Revenue, and now they've summoned people from the Ministry of War as well. Sure enough, they're just starting to settle scores for that kneeling remonstration from the ministers a while ago!"

"Why else would you summon me, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and him, the Director of the Ministry of War, to appear before the Emperor at the same time? If there were truly any misconduct in official duties, the first people His Majesty would hold accountable would be the two Ministers!"

"Shit! What on earth was I expecting?"

"..."

The more Yu Xin looked at Gu Pu's gloomy face, the more his heart sank. He originally had some hope in him, but now it was completely dead.

What the hell is this playing tricks on me?

They had been working under the new emperor Zhu Yunhu for quite some time. Everyone knew that the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty was notoriously unruly. Countless times before, when ministers in the court disobeyed or contradicted him, he would kill them, demote them, or humiliate them... without even frowning.

Now this little ancestor is starting to settle old scores.

It would be a miracle if they could have a good ending.

At the same time, Gu Pu, the head of the Ministry of War who was suddenly summoned, was also very panicked.

The two of them stared at each other in silence for a long time.

Gu Pu then took a deep breath, slowly moved to Yu Xin's side, and tentatively asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sir Yu, you are well-informed in the Ministry of Revenue. Do you know that His Majesty has summoned..." He didn't even finish his words because he swallowed nervously.

"Master Gu, who would dare to ask about the news of the Qianqing Palace? But judging from your behavior, even if I don't ask, I think you have at least a rough idea."

Although the words were unclear, the two of them were thinking the same thing. Gu Pu naturally knew that he couldn't get any other results from asking, so his face darkened. Then, as if he had let it go, his expression became calm and generous. He said, "This... no matter what awaits me in the future, I will not regret saying what I should say and doing what I should do!"

Yu Xin snorted in his heart.

He shook his head helplessly, as if the luster in his eyes had dimmed a little, and he became extremely depressed. Like Gu Pu, he felt that there was nothing to regret after speaking out to advise His Majesty. This was what they, as ministers, should do, but sometimes they were still afraid.

The most important thing is that if he suffered a disaster and lost his life, but it could have been a good result, he would not care. But they could not change anything, and now they still have to bear this disaster of life and death.

This is really a shame. Just thinking about it makes me feel like I’m losing money.

I feel even more helpless - how could I have met such an unyielding little emperor?

But at this time.

Both Yu Xin and Gu Pu heard footsteps coming from far away and gradually approaching behind them, and the footsteps were coming towards them.

The two of them subconsciously looked behind them and saw from afar several eunuchs leading two people towards the Qianqing Palace.

I immediately felt a chill in my heart: "Oh! Eighty percent of them are probably two more lucky unlucky people who will be punished by His Majesty later!"

But as people gradually approached.

They all frowned then, not for any other reason, but because they recognized the identities of the two people brought here by the eunuch.

These two people were not wearing official robes, nor were they wearing gauze crowns on their heads.

One of them was dressed respectably, but in very ordinary cloth, looking like a student. It was unknown which college he graduated from.

The other person was even shabbier, still wearing coarse linen clothes.
