In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Gu Yuan traveled through time and became a student at the Imperial College, and was bound to the "loyal ministers' death remonstrance system to get rich"
As long as you tell the truth that the emperor and the powerful don't like to hear, you can get rich and live longer if you are killed or severely punished.
He wanted to die, and he angrily shouted in the Golden Palace that "all the officials in the dynasty are traitors to the country", pointing out that the nobles were greedy and the officials were corrupt.
He thought he would definitely die, but Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not kill him, but instead thought that he was the "backbone of the Ming Dynasty", and Prince Zhu Biao even personally escorted him into the East Palace.
Gu Yuan collapsed: I want to die!
He went crazy to seek death, investigated the water transport deficit, uncovered the shady stories of nobles, scolded corrupt officials, and turned the court upside down.
But the more Zhu Yuanzhang watched, the more satisfied he became. Zhu Biao cherished him, and the civil and military officials in the court hated him to the core but did not dare to touch him.
Because he belongs to the prince and is the "anti-corruption blade" of the Ming Dynasty.
Gu Yuan: Please kill me, I really don't want to be a powerful official!
Zhu Yuanzhang: This son is loyal and deserves a reward!
Zhu Biao: Mr. Gu is a national scholar, so I must protect him!
Corrupt officials: As long as Gu Yuan is alive, we will be in trouble!
