37. Chapter 37 Tribute(2/2)
Support. Now that Zhu Houcong has mentioned this matter, his intention is very clear, he is scolding them for their double standards.
After all, he was still young. Originally he was only competing with Yang Tinghe for power, but now he was shooting at everyone regardless of enemy or friend.
Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, this is Xiaozong's benevolent policy, but as for paying tribute, he wants to allow foreign businessmen to ruin the folk customs. On that day, they also invaded our dynasty on the pretext that the tribute was unfair. Even for such a Yingzong.
If this matter remains unchanged, Your Majesty will be the first person to do so?"
The old man doesn't use curse words when he curses. As for Zhu Qizhen, Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, although he is the direct ancestor of the current emperor, in fact, everyone has a tacit understanding to avoid talking about this emperor. We really can't afford to embarrass this person.
Mao Cheng's meaning is also very obvious, which is to tell Zhu Houcong that you are not even as good as Yingzong Zhu Qizhen now.
After Zhu Houcong heard this, he immediately stood up in the court and almost stood up to quarrel with them. However, he could not argue with so many people with one mouth. He was so angry that his face turned purple. In the end, he reluctantly left the court under the persuasion of the good old Liang Chu.
After returning home, he immediately overturned the table. Seeing this, Huang Jin was worried that Jiajing would be angry, so he quickly went to ask the fire extinguishing master Xian Ruxing.
Xian Ruxing felt a little speechless after hearing this. He shouldn't be so insulting. It would be better to take Zhu Qizhen as an example.
Zhu Houcong was sitting on the steps with tears streaming down his face. Since he ascended the throne, except for the initial fuss over asking for his father's title, he went to bed later than a dog and got up earlier than a chicken. In order to save money for the court, he worked extremely hard.
He's so pretty, even though he's a filial piety, he doesn't even have new clothes, yet he's still being roundly criticized as a coward. How can he feel so aggrieved?
Xian Ruxing felt heartbroken when she saw her child looking so shameless. After a few words of comfort, she said she would handle the matter herself, and promised to make the courtiers bow their heads and agree.
"Then where do you want to start?" Zhu Houcong asked.
