    At three quarters in the morning, the ministers slowly withdrew from the Jinluan Palace. Naturally, their moods were all different.

    Some people looked sad and anxious, as if their death was imminent; some looked happy, as if they had seen the opportunity to rise to the top; as for the generals and nobles, they all had smiles on their faces, and Emperor Hongzhi seemed to like the generals and nobles the faster he got there.  Well, British Duke Zhang Mao was summoned to Yangxin Hall to discuss matters again.

    Xie Qian's face was expressionless, and he seemed calm, but in fact he felt very uncomfortable inside. Since he became a cabinet minister, this was the first time that he was not summoned to discuss matters after Emperor Hongzhi came down. You must know that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang,  Even the British Duke Zhang Mao, the Minister of Household Affairs Zhou Jing, the Minister of War Ma Wensheng and others were summoned to discuss the matter.

    What does this mean?

    This shows that Emperor Hongzhi does not like him now and does not trust him. This also most likely means that his official career has come to an end.

    If a high-ranking minister does not gain the emperor's trust, he will definitely not be able to serve for a long time. Not only Xie Qian knows this, but also his colleagues around him.

    In the past, there were always people around Xie Qian coming over to chat, but now everyone saw Xie Qian walking a few steps slower, so that there was no one around Xie Qian, and he could only slowly walk down the dragon steps alone, which seemed very strange.  Loneliness, desolation, and the coldness of the world are nothing more than that.

    It¡¯s just that I can¡¯t blame anyone now. He really didn¡¯t handle the matter that Emperor Hongzhi told him. He had been investigating the theft of official grain from the official warehouse for so long, but the clues were broken. This is absolutely unforgivable.

    "As I get older, the life of Xianyun Yehe may also be a good choice."

    Xie Qian looked at the dragon steps at his feet and recalled his life. He thought of how when he was young, he became the top scholar in high school and led the disciples of the Emperor at the same time to walk from the bottom of the steps to the Golden Palace step by step. Now he is only one step away.  He can reach the extreme of being a minister.

    There is still some regret in my heart. Compared with Liu Jian, he is still very young. He is only fifty years old now, but he has no chance.

    In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Hongzhi's study, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, Ma Wensheng and others looked at each other, and nodded slightly. They would still advise Emperor Hongzhi together later. This investigation of Dezhou Cang and Linqing Cang  It is better to leave the matter of the theft of official grain to the ministers for investigation, and not to take advantage of the eunuchs and factory guards.

    Once this starts, everyone's good days will come to an end, and the dark clouds of the Chenghua Dynasty will once again hang over the heads of the ministers. Just after the early morning dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi ignored the objections of the ministers and uncharacteristically investigated the theft of official grain from the official warehouse.  The matter was left to Xiao Jing.

    "Yu Qiao's handling of things this time is indeed too"

    Liu Jian looked at Li Dongyang and looked at the place where Xie Qian used to be. Now it was empty and he felt uncomfortable. The three of them had been officials in the same court for many years and cabinet ministers for two years. They were occupied every day.  Emperor Hongzhi summoned him together to discuss important matters. Now that Xie Qian is gone, he is really not used to it.

    "Your Majesty, please ask me to investigate the theft of the official warehouse. I will definitely get to the bottom of it. I will also find out the murder of several grain merchants and give them justice."

    As soon as Emperor Hongzhi arrived, Liu Jian stood up and asked for orders.

    "No need, leave this matter to Xiao Jing, let him investigate. I believe he can also get to the bottom of it, and he can also exonerate the innocent souls of more than a hundred people who died in vain."

    Emperor Hongzhi waved his hands expressionlessly and said.

    "Your Majesty, during the Chenghua Dynasty, the eunuchs were in power and the people were in dire straits. Now that there are finally signs of a revival, you must not kiss the villain and the virtuous minister!"

    Zhou Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, has a hot temper and dares to give direct advice. Sometimes he is reckless when he speaks. Now when he saw Emperor Hongzhi's appearance, he was also very angry and stood up to give advice.

    "Zhou Jing~"

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhou Jing, also stood up and said sternly to him.

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s move also frightened everyone present. The Emperor Hongzhi in front of them was gentle and elegant. He was a typical humble gentleman. Even when he was very rude, he was always polite to ministers like them.

    Of course, this is a nice thing to say, but to put it in a bad way, it is that Emperor Hongzhi has been very weak in character since he was a child because of his experiences as a child. He is relatively submissive and afraid of getting into trouble.

    Even though he became the emperor, he has always been a good man and could forgive those who had hurt him in the past. This is enough to show that Emperor Hongzhi is too soft-tempered and of course he is really a good man.

    ?However, the Emperor Hongzhi who stood up now looked completely different from the other two. He stood upright, his face was calm and powerful, and a domineering aura leaked out, which made the people present very uncomfortable and couldn't help but blink their eyes as if  It was like getting to know Emperor Hongzhi on the first day.

    "Tell me who is the villain? Who is the virtuous minister?"

    Emperor Hongzhi was really angry this time.

    He had always been simmering with anger in his heart. Someone wanted to target his father and son after the disaster, and wanted to restrict the imperial power. This in itself was something he could never tolerate.

    When Xie Qian was asked to report the theft to the official warehouse, he gave himself such an answer. How could he be satisfied and how could he not be angry.

    This famine made him see many things clearly, the most important of which was that he saw these civil servants clearly. All the trust he had in them in the past was given to dogs, but now he still has the nerve to say that he wants to kiss the virtuous minister Yuan Xiao.  people.

    He and the prince just had some property and made some money, but they were immediately targeted. As an emperor, he had always been frugal and frugal, but among the ministers in the court, which one was not Ling?  Luo silk and satin, brocade clothing and jade food.

    In the past, I trusted these civil servants too much, so I left everything to them and believed in them. However, the Hongzhi Zhongxing they boasted was just the prosperity of these civil servants and officials. The ordinary people remained the same as before.

    ¡°As an emperor, I rained heavily on the Ming Dynasty, but what fell on the ground was drizzle. In the end, it was these civil servants and officials who benefited the most.

    Hearing what Emperor Hongzhi said, Zhou Jing was speechless for a moment, and there were thousands of things to say in his mind, but he suddenly became speechless. In the final analysis, it was this famine that made Emperor Hongzhi very dissatisfied.

    Last year, Liu Jian predicted that a famine might occur in the first half of this year and suggested that food should be transferred and stockpiled in advance to prepare for disaster relief.

    But of course, he and others delayed it on the grounds that the granaries were full of food and the treasury was empty. Xie Qian went to check the major granaries and reported that there was enough food in the granaries to cope with the famine.

    But when food relief was really needed, the granary said that the food had been stolen, and the Ministry of Household Affairs said that there was no money, and asked Emperor Hongzhi to buy food from his own pocket.

    However, the price of grain has been raised to sky-high prices by profiteers. The 500,000 taels of silver raised by everyone is simply a drop in the bucket. At this time, everyone said that they cannot crack down on grain merchants, because this will break the trust of the world.

    In short, everyone has the final say on everything, but in the end things got worse and worse. If it hadn't been for the continuous flow of marine fish from Tianjin to the capital for disaster relief, the world would have been in chaos by now.

    And at this time, the ministers still opposed the opening of the sea ban, opposed fishing in the sea, and opposed the entry of sea fish into Beijing. What did Emperor Hongzhi think and see?

    "Sit down."

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhou Jing who had nothing to say, and his tone became slightly kinder.

    Zhou Jing slowly sat down in his seat and exchanged glances with Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Ma Wensheng. Each could see the surprise in each other's eyes. Today's Emperor Hongzhi is indeed domineering. There is a generation of heroes.  Like the Lord.

    However, everyone obviously still likes the former Emperor Hongzhi, who is easy to talk to and has a good temper. When you get along with Emperor Hongzhi, you don't have to worry or be afraid of anything, and your life is very comfortable.

    Everyone really couldn't figure out why Emperor Hongzhi would undergo such a huge change in just one night. You must know that yesterday, Emperor Hongzhi was talking and laughing with everyone, and even looked at the new repair together.  On the cement road, I walked around the streets and alleys of Beijing.

    Of course they didn¡¯t know that the main reason why Emperor Hongzhi had such a huge change at this time was for Zhu Houzhao and his son.

    Because Emperor Hongzhi clearly realized that if Zhu Houzhao was not cleared of those people in the court who were deliberately targeting the imperial power and his father and son, it would be almost impossible for Zhu Houzhao to realize his blueprint and dream in the future.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
