Zhu Houzhao: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi did not respond much.

Xiao Jing, standing next to Emperor Hongzhi, looked dull, as if he was remembering something silently in his heart.

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was still in a daze, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Fang Jifan's heart was shocked. Damn, even a flatterer with such a high power did not respond. Could it be that he wanted to increase the battery?

Fang Jifan said embarrassedly: "I don't know what instructions do you have if your Majesty summons me to come?"

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes blankly and glanced at Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao: "Oh, nothing, I just... want to meet you."

Although he said this, Fang Jifan refused to think that His Majesty just wanted to meet him.

But I saw Xiao Jing standing aside with a strange expression.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, don't go around the corner. If you want to fight or kill, you will listen to the emperor. If you hang your knife on your head like this, it will make people frightened and uneasy."

Fang Jifan: “…………”

Fang Jifan sighed in his heart that it was really bad that Fang Jifan had been in his three lives...unfortunately.

It was beyond Fang Jifan's expectations.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't seem to have much reaction to this.

After a long time, he only sighed: "Hey, I... can't figure it out."

What?

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi with confusion.

"Why is it so difficult to govern the world?" said Emperor Hongzhi.

Fang Jifan couldn't help but say: "It's not difficult to defend the world. What's difficult is that you have the ambitions of lofty ambitions and want to create great achievements for thousands of years. Of course, it will be a little difficult..."

Will be finished.

Emperor Hongzhi ordered some report.

Xiao Jing understood, picked up the report, went down to the Golden Luan, and delivered the report to Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan dared not hesitate, so he took the report and revealed it.

Zhu Houzhao also hurriedly came over.

The two stared at the report motionlessly.

This report was delivered from the Beizhen Fushi.

What we are talking about is that Jiujiang Prefecture and Nanchang Prefecture are drought. Your Majesty issued an order to prevent floods immediately. In the report, they affirmed the actions of the two prefectures. After receiving the order, they immediately began to migrate the people. In order to thoroughly implement Your Majesty's will, the process will inevitably be much more rude.

For those who refuse to leave, they burn their house directly, and for those who resist, they directly ask for them to pick them up.

There are also those who robbed people and children.

The officers and soldiers held whips and beat even more.

In fact... Fang Jifan didn't have to think about it, he could know what would happen.

When His Majesty's order was passed, the local parents' eyes were red. Who would dare to lose their links at this time? After all, His Majesty is staring at it. At this time, he naturally uses all extraordinary means. Time is urgent, and this is the case. Once you can't take any family, others will retreat, wait and see, or even resist.

Only by killing a chicken to warn the monkey will others submit.

Fang Jifan continued to watch...but he suddenly understood something.

All of this is a report of public opinion.

The factory guards report that everything is very detailed, and they will never dare to fabricate it, let alone add fuel to the fire, or report good news but not bad news.

Because they were the eyes and ears of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, if they all dared to deceive the king, then... the emperor would become deaf and blind.

"I'm humble and heard from all the gentry that the gentry said: Your Majesty now... there are treacherous ministers..."

Fang Jifan was happy. These words were still very fair. Isn’t Xiao Jing a traitor just a traitor?

"I heard someone say, Your Majesty is already confused when he is old. As for all kinds of complaints and scoldings, it is even more irresistible. There is a scholar in Xingzi County who tried to incite the people to rebel, saying, "The Ming Dynasty is gone, and there is no life for a hundred and fifty years. Now in the temple, the lord is dark, jackals are officials, rotten wood is full of natural disasters, and corpses are everywhere. You should follow the heavens and do great things..."

"I also heard that an old gentry, whose surname is Fang..."

Fang Jifan looked at the dense reports and his scalp was numb.

There are too many comments about killing Qiandao.

It is almost imagined how resentment of the victims has accumulated.

The one who gained the right status of the country was the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family dared to advocate filial piety, but did not dare to advocate loyalty to the emperor. Even the emperor of the Sima family were all shamed for their ancestors. Emperor Taizong of Tang killed his relatives and became independent, and many royal families killed each other after that. Emperor Taizu of Song put on his yellow robe and became king in the Yuan Dynasty, and was deeply afraid of his identity as a Hu person.

Only in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao, and a commoner, expelled the Tartars and won the world.

It is precisely because of the superiority that even though there were factory guards, they actually did not control much of the people's remarks. On the contrary, in the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao hated scholars, but issued a special order to not allow scholars to speak. Later, even the taboos of scholars were not taken care of. In addition, the trend was becoming increasingly open, and there were actually many alarmist remarks.

Emperor Hongzhi was concerned about the disaster in Jiujiang and Nanchang Prefecture, so he paid special attention to this place. Who knew... the news sent by the Beizhen Fushi was such a thing.

Fang Jifan...is very embarrassing.

He closed the report and looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a little disheartened look.

He knew in his heart that these public opinions were really a bit heartbroken to His Majesty.

When the other emperors saw this, they might be furious and said that the foolish people should be damned. After a while, it would be fine.

But Emperor Hongzhi claimed to be kind and righteous, and forgot to eat and sleep. For the sake of this country and the great rule of the world in his mind, he actually took countless efforts. What did he get?

Zhu Houbao was cursing happily inside, but he was actually full of joy and relish.

Fang Jifan coughed and glared at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao reacted and immediately showed that she was losing her parents: "Father, these unruly people deserve to die."

Emperor Hongzhi remained silent, but put his hand on the desk and gently rubbed his fingers on the desk.

Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact... this is nothing. I think that the people... are just anxious because of natural disasters. In fact... Your Majesty waits for the disaster to come, and only needs to issue an order to kill all the officials of Jiujiang Prefecture and Nanchang Prefecture on the charge of ineffective disaster relief. The people are angry, and countless people must have cheered and said that Your Majesty is wise."

Xiao Jing said with a smile that this murderous matter was as relaxed as cutting leeks in his mouth.
