    Qin Kan¡¯s evil idea was not only damaging, it was also fatal.

    The civil servants disturbed the Queen Mother's birthday. Apparently they did not expect that they had offended the emperor. Since the death of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao has always attached great importance to family ties. Whenever the ministers make trouble, it must be done before  The old queen mother's birthday ceremony embarrassed the entire royal family, and Zhu Houzhao's revenge followed.

    At this moment, kneeling in the east hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the ministers all understood Zhu Houzhao's revenge.

    "The king and his ministers govern together", "sharing the joys and sorrows", and "accepting advice from the good" are all nonsense!  Just foreshadowing this moment.

    On the spot, many ministers looked unhappy. Many of them raised their angry eyebrows and were about to speak. They opened their mouths, but found that they had nothing to say.

    What can be said?  Are you saying that Your Majesty should not apologize to the Imperial Ancestral Temple?  They themselves requested it in unison.  Are you saying that His Majesty shouldn't force the ministers to fast together?  The monarch and his ministers govern together and share joys and sorrows is what they talk about all day long

    ¡° Even if a few starve to death in these ten days, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be the fault of His Majesty.

    The atmosphere in the East Hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple was silent, with suppressed anger and grievance.

    It was in this atmosphere that the petition between the king and his ministers began strangely.

    The ministers all had peaceful and solemn faces, but Qin Kan knew that at least half of them wanted to slap themselves hard.

    "The fate of being a mean-mouthed person has made the emperor anxious. Who can get away with it?"  The old Queen Mother was right. In this world, isn't everyone still surnamed Zhu?

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The first day passed peacefully like this. The ministers knelt on the futon without saying a word. Those who knelt until their knees were numb could stand up and stretch their legs and feet, and then continue kneeling. No one would accuse them of being disrespectful to their ancestors.  After all, if the blood in a person's legs does not flow smoothly for a long time, it will cause disability.

    As night fell, the light in the empty palace gradually became darker. Immediately, a young eunuch walked in and hung exquisite and gorgeous palace lanterns on long poles on the dragon-carved jade pillars above the main hall. The palace was instantly filled with brilliance and brightness.  If it's daytime.

    There were bursts of stomach rumblings, one after another.

    The ministers¡¯ faces turned into a puddle of pain.

    Went into the palace early in the morning to congratulate the old Queen Mother on her birthday, and then started an arduous struggle with the Hunjun. Until now, it¡¯s dark and I haven¡¯t even eaten a grain of rice

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone couldn¡¯t stand it anymore,¡­ This foolish king won¡¯t really let us starve to death, will he?

    Zhu Houzhao, Qin Kan and Liu Jin were kneeling with their backs to the ministers. Listening to the bursts of unconcealable cooing coming from behind, the corners of their mouths were filled with gloating smiles.

    After a cup of tea, several young eunuchs from the imperial kitchen walked into the palace carrying several large buckets.  The bucket is filled with clean water, real clean water, collected from Yuquan Mountain behind the palace, without a trace of oil or meat.

    The little eunuch is holding a stack of bowls in his hands. He will give out one to everyone when he bends his waist, and will give out one to everyone

    The ministers held the empty bowls helplessly, and then watched the young eunuch scoop up a ladle of water with a ladle, and filled the bowls of the ministers one by one, just like feeding pigs.

    Many ministers didn¡¯t care about their manners and were really hungry. They didn¡¯t care whether the water was clear or not. They picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, and then stared pitifully at the little eunuch.

    To everyone¡¯s disappointment, there is a quota for clean water. There are only three bowls of water a day, no more and no less. The little eunuch carrying a large bucket of water completely ignored the eyes of the ministers and walked all the way.

    Finally, it was served in front of Zhu Houzhao and the other three people. The young eunuch first put down the bucket and kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao. Another young eunuch took an exquisite tribute porcelain bowl with blue and white background carved with dragons and phoenixes, and filled it with Zhu Houzhao.  He added a bowl of water to the ground, and the water ladle slid down the bottom of the bucket. The little eunuch lowered his hands and magically slid out half a greasy roast chicken from his wide sleeve. In the other sleeve were three green and fresh osmanthus flowers.  Because Zhu Houzhao's back was blocking the cake, no one noticed the eunuch's little move. The roast chicken and sweet-scented osmanthus cake fell into Zhu Houzhao's hands smoothly.

    Qin Kan and Liu Jin were not hungry either. The other two angry little eunuchs followed the same example and skillfully placed the exquisite food in the hands of Qin Kan and Liu Jin

    The three of them knelt in the front row with their backs to the ministers, breaking the food into pieces piece by piece, and then feeding it into their mouths without leaving any trace. In this way, they had a full meal behind the ministers' backs.

    After eating and drinking all the water in front of the futon, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but open his mouth and burp

    In the quiet hall, the sound of a huge belch echoed long and hard. Not only the ministers behind him were stunned, but also Zhu Houzhao and the other three were stunned.Qin Kan reacted the fastest. He hurriedly turned to his side and knelt down towards Zhu Houzhao. He said sadly: "Your Majesty, you are so hungry that you are hiccupping. Your Majesty, you must be sincere in respecting the ancestor of heaven and earth. Your Majesty, you must hold on no matter how hungry you are!"

    After Zhu Houzhao was stunned, he quickly nodded: "I can hold on!"

    The ministers looked left and right from a distance, but could not see any flaws, so they said in unison: "Your Majesty is benevolent, filial, and sincere, and has spread all over the world. The world is very lucky, and the country is very lucky"

    "The words are beautiful, but they are sparse and weak."

    The fate of the ministers was not as good as that of Zhu Houzhao and the other three. They only had a bowl of water and were already dizzy with hunger.

    Thinking that they would still be hungry for nine days in the future, everyone couldn't help but feel sad. A few sobbing sounds could be heard from the crowd at some point.

    "I entered the Ancestral Temple today, I really don't know if I will survive"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Facing the portraits and memorial tablets of his ancestors in the front row, Zhu Houzhao remained motionless, but his mouth widened with a big smile, unable to conceal his gloating, and his eyes showed an excitement that he had not seen for a long time.

    Life was so dull that Emperor Zhengde finally found something to do.  In order to achieve the goal of severely punishing the ministers, he was willing to waste time with them. It didn't matter if it took ten days, provided that these ministers were still alive after ten days.

    "Liu Jin, the roasted chicken today is too oily, I don't like it." Zhu Houzhao said as quietly as a mosquito.

    Liu Jin was stunned and hurriedly apologized: "It's because I didn't think carefully, and I knew I was guilty."

    "For breakfast tomorrow, the three of us will have some crispy meat buns with some pickles. Remember to make them soft and chew them quietly so that the ministers don't hear them."

    "yes."

    "For lunch, I want something lighter, stewed radish with big bones and big sticks. Remember to stew it until it's soft and melts in your mouth. It's delicious. Qin Kan, what do you have for lunch?"

    "Your Majesty, I still think the roasted chicken is good"

    "Okay, Liu Jin, I'll bring roast chicken to Qin Kan for lunch tomorrow."

    "¡­¡­yes."

    "What about dinner? Qin Kan, what do you have for dinner?"

    ¡°¡­My lord, let¡¯s eat roast chicken.¡±

    "You have a fate that is designed to defeat the chicken. No wonder my hereditary third-generation mighty general Alas!"

    The hall full of hungry ministers closed their eyes to rest, but the three people in the front row quietly decided on tomorrow¡¯s menu.  (To be continued.
