The Censor of the Ming Dynasty Criticized Hu Weiyong and Protected Zhu Biao

Gu Chen assumed the role of a young censor of the seventh rank of the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to fish in the water. Unexpectedly, he offended Hu Weiyong's concubine brother and was impeached for accepting bribes - two pounds of rice, four pounds of cured mutton, and a set of four treasures in the study. Is this something worthy of being called corruption? What's even more outrageous is that after Zhu Yuanzhang heard the report, instead of killing him, he felt that this young man was upright and planned to promote him to succeed Hu Weiyong as prime minister! Gu Chen's legs went weak on the spot: Becoming prime minister for Lao Zhu? That's too long a life! He would rather go to the Three Kingdoms to work as a nanny for Liu Adou than be an official who could lose his head at any time in the Hongwu Dynasty. Prince Zhu Biao was kind-hearted and gave him a holiday to return to his hometown to get married. Gu Chen ran away all night, and the rules of the wedding were: if the gift exceeds the total amount, the money will be returned on the spot. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard about it: "This guy is an upright official." But Hu Weiyong gritted his teeth and wanted to get rid of him, but Zhu Biao secretly protected him behind his back. But Gu Chen just wanted to start a small business and live out his life in peace. Until Lao Zhu called him into the Qianqing Palace and said, "I think your mouth is very suitable for being the prime minister. You can take office tomorrow." Gu Chen almost fainted on the spot - there is really no way to be this official! This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
