Scholar Shen of the Hanlin Academy could not help but speak out, "The Left Deputy Censor-in-Chief is wrong. Young Marquis Gu had a dispute with the prince of Weiyuan Marquis's mansion that day. The reason was that Prince Qin of Weiyuan Marquis's mansion bullied men and women in the street. Young Marquis Gu stopped Prince Qin's bad behavior and stood up for the people. How could he be arrogant and violate the law? It is clear that someone else violated the law. Moreover, the case of desilting official silver in Jiangbei is a serious matter. As Young Marquis Gu said before, Li Xiu, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Works, had renewed his confession, but Lord Wei pretended not to know. Therefore, Young Marquis Gu acted cautiously and recovered the criminals and the dirty silver first, which was not wrong. Although there was no imperial edict and troops were dispatched out of the city privately, the matter could be prioritized. Moreover, as soon as Young Marquis Gu captured the thief and recovered the dirty silver, he went to the palace to report to the emperor. He did not have any rebellious intentions. I hope the emperor will see it clearly."

Emperor Mingzheng wanted to remove Gu Yun from his post as commander of the Wucheng Military Department today and take back the tiger talisman from him, so he looked at Shen Tian and asked, "Minister Shen, what do you think about Gu Yun's private deployment of troops?" He emphasized the words private deployment of troops.

Shen Tian was good at trying to figure out the thoughts of Emperor Mingzheng on state affairs, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on to his position as the chief minister of the cabinet.

What's more, Gu Yun's rash behavior this time has ruined Emperor Mingzheng's big plans.

He chose his words carefully and said, "Young Marquis Gu solved the corruption case and recovered the dirty silver. It is indeed a meritorious service, but privately mobilizing troops has been a capital crime since ancient times. Although Young Marquis Gu has no intention of disloyalty, he only led the troops out of the city to capture the wanted criminal. But if the precedent is followed by others, there is no guarantee that there will not be thieves with disloyal intentions who will follow the example of Young Marquis Gu and privately mobilize troops and use military power for personal gain. In addition, the most important duty of the 50% Military Department is to protect the safety of the Imperial City. If someone took advantage of the opportunity last night and caused any chaos in the Imperial City and plotted against the emperor, even if Young Marquis Gu captured the criminal, he cannot bear the crime of guarding the Imperial City and protecting the emperor."

Emperor Mingzheng pondered for a moment, "Minister Shen is absolutely right." He looked at Gu Yun, his face full of helplessness, "It's all because I dote on you too much and indulge you to such an extent that you don't know the rules. Although the incident last night happened suddenly, if you still have me in your eyes, you should have sent someone to the palace to ask for a written order from me. Would I not give it to you?"

After listening to this for a while, Gu Yun already knew that it was Emperor Mingzheng who wanted to punish him.

Miraculously, Gu Yun remained very calm. He was not angry at all because of the impeachment words that those people kept hanging on to. Only one thought came to his mind: It's finally here.

Emperor Mingzheng had been patient with him for a long time, and today's situation was nothing. It was far from the tearing off of disguise that Gu Yun had already imagined.

He still had his arms folded across his chest, looking unruly and different from the other ministers standing in line. Yes, how could such a young man, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, a child of destiny, be similar to the ministers who indulged in calculations, struggled in the officialdom, had long lost their original appearance, and were filled with the smell of power in the officialdom?

When something happened in the capital and power changed, Gu Yun was taken to Lingnan at a young age. He followed Marquis Annan in the Lingnan army and developed a willful character. He was recalled to the capital by Emperor Ming Zhengdi when he was sixteen. Over the years since he returned to the capital, he was out of tune with the children of the capital's aristocratic families and had to deal with the turbulent undercurrents in the court in a clumsy manner.

Although he was young when he left Beijing, he knew about human affairs and was not as young as Su Jian. Gu Yun knew everything that Emperor Mingzheng had done and what kind of person he was.
