Emperor Hongzhi sighed after a long time of silence.

Xiao Jing had sent the report back to his desk.

He started to pinch the memorial on his desk, and then remained silent for a moment: "See all the ministers to meet him."

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing glanced at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The things in this report are not only for me to show, but also for all officials. I want to take them as a warning. Shouldn't these civil and military officials take them as a warning? Every word and action of me and all the ministers are related to the welfare of countless people. I want to let people read them out in public, and to let them hear them for me and to the civil and military officials in the court."

Xiao Jing seemed helpless. This was obviously a stain on the emperor.

All the emperors of all dynasties have hidden these stains?

Your Majesty is so good now that he wishes to make it public.

But he dared not be negligent. He was busy going out and ordered the eunuchs to summon all officials immediately. Immediately afterwards, the sound of golden drums summoning all officials came out.

Xiao Jing thought about going to the cabinet to invite several senior officials. After walking some distance, he saw Mou Bin coming towards him.

"Eunuch Xiao, Eunuch Xiao, let's talk."

Xiao Jing saw from afar that after hearing the sound of golden drums, there was movement in the cabinet and the attendant room. A large number of eunuchs rushed to the outside of the palace. He seemed very anxious and had no intention of talking about Mou Bin here.

There is a situation between him and Mou Bin, but it is not broken.

On the one hand, in the eyes of others, the factory and the guards are one, but there is no open and secret struggle within the factory and guards.

Therefore, sometimes although he relied on Mou Bin, sometimes he remained in a distance from Mou Bin.

Xiao Jing held his hands behind his back: "Oh, why did Commander Mou enter the palace?"

"There is the latest report from Jiujiang Prefecture." Mou Bin said hurriedly.

Xiao Jing narrowed his eyes: "Oh, Commander Mou, he is very informed."

This sentence...is quite ironic. There was no news at the East Factory, and the Jinyiwei had already learned the news in advance. The Jinyiwei was amazing. Do you want to ride on the East Factory in the future?

Xiao Jing was like a spring breeze and said with a smile: "Commander Mou, it's really hard."

Mou Bin was extremely afraid of Xiao Jing.

But he seemed to be a little anxious on his face, and he couldn't help but say, "I heard the sound of the golden drums, but I didn't know... Your Majesty..."

"Don't ask too much about your Majesty. Let's show us the news about Jiujiang Prefecture."

Mou Bin dared not be negligent and was about to take out the report.

Xiao Jing looked around and saw several bachelors in the cabinet coming to hear the news. There were still scattered Hanlin people in the distance.

Xiao Jing said, "Go and go aside and say."

Mou Bin hesitated for a moment, but he still did not dare to offend Xiao Jing. He followed Xiao Jing in a strange way and headed towards the side hall next to him.

…………

The emperor summoned all officials, but they dared not be negligent. They all came in a hurry.

When they arrived in the hall, they saw Emperor Hongzhi's face turned pale, and the prince and Fang Jifan both came.

Several cabinet ministers have already decided.

The Hanlin people in the Hanlin Academy also stood in the corner.

But standing opposite the Hanlin people, there were also a group of Hanlin people. These Hanlins seemed out of place with Fengtian Hall, and most of them seemed a little nervous.

They are Hanlin on duty at the Academy of Sciences. Because they are on duty in the palace, they come early. Although many people wear black hats on their heads, they feel a bit like they are soaked in a monkey, which makes them look inconsistent.

The ministers who came in couldn't help laughing when they saw these people in a mess.

Those who have never read the books of sages are indeed inappropriate.

Look at their appearance, if it weren't for the black hat and official uniforms, those who didn't know would think they were just a group of slaves.

Zhang Xin's face was dark, like an old farmer.

There are also many Hanlins from the Academy of Sciences, with pale faces and blood-colored faces. Some people are even nervous and at a loss...

Everyone stood still and couldn't help but whisper. His Majesty suddenly announced that something must have happened to the ministers.

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes and seemed to be unable to wait: "All those who can come... have come. Since that's the case, let's start now."

In fact... today is not a formal court meeting, and all the officials are not prepared. Only some ministers who are closer to the palace are coming in a hurry. The civil and military officials are sparse, only 30 to 40% of them come.

Everyone was confused and looked at the emperor in surprise.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at a eunuch beside him.

The eunuch said tremblingly: "The Jinyiwei reported..."

Soon, everyone calmed down.

Almost everyone was listening carefully to this report from the Beizhen Fushi.

People were stunned at first, then... suddenly... and then... but then... they looked confused.

When the eunuchs talked about the curses of the soldiers and civilians of Jiujiang Prefecture and talked about countless people's complaints. Some even pointed out directly that there were treacherous ministers around the emperor.

Of course...the more serious thing is not this. The eunuch said: "Someone said: The priest is not wise... wise..."

The eunuchs dared not continue to read the words later.

"Not a wise lord!" Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said sternly.

The loud shouts in this life scared everyone to the point of being silent.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "This means that I am a fool."

"Your Majesty..." After hearing this, the ministers kowtowed: "Your Majesty is wise, how can you say stupidly?"

Having said that, many people couldn't help but wonder, who is the one who is here? Isn't it just the Academy of Sciences? If it weren't for their nonsense, His Majesty misbelieve their words, and torture the people like this, how could it be so natural disasters and man-made disasters?

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes, but sighed: "Silent is stupidity. Every word of these words has stinged my heart. I thought to myself, if the people of the world look at me like this, how can I be worthy of it? How can the ancestors and ancestors and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty survive?"

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The word "Saint and Ming" will not be mentioned again in the future. I issued an order to move the people, which was entirely out of good intentions, but my thoughts may also cause countless people to be displaced. I have made mistakes, and I have made mistakes... I have to correct them. But in this world, if I want to correct them, it is no more to face my own faults first. If I dare not face my own faults, how can I correct them?"

Emperor Hongzhi pointed at the little eunuch and said sternly: "You guys, have you heard it? This is the people of my Ming Dynasty. It is the truth they have revealed. They are not wrong. How many mistakes have I and you guys made over the years, and how many people have they made resentful?"

The officials were trembling. These words sounded like His Majesty's self-reflection, but they were also severely rebuked themselves. The ministers kowtowed one after another: "I'm waiting for thousands of deaths."

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be extremely sad and angry.

What does he hate?

I hate myself for not being able to separate out 11,000 clones, and I cannot clearly observe every prefecture...

"Your Majesty." At this time, someone couldn't help but say, "I have a word."

The person who spoke was Yan Shidu from the Hanlin Attendant Room. Yan Shidu looked at Wang Bushi. Wang Bushi said that Wang Bushi's words just now were so harsh.

But now...

He said seriously: "I am a Hanlin, so how can I not speak up for justice? This time, Your Majesty's order to move is all the ideas of the Academy of Sciences. Wang Wenyu is useless, but he is talking nonsense. If Your Majesty had not listened to his words, how could the people in Jiujiang Prefecture complain? Your Majesty... Science will ruin the country."

He said righteously: "I beg your Majesty to abolish the Academy of Sciences. This Academy of Sciences is unreasonable and lawful. The court has its own Hanlin Academy, a cabinet, and six ministries. Why do you need the Academy of Sciences... Your Majesty and Your Highness are both wrong. The rule of the country is based on etiquette and morality, virtue and filial piety. This Academy of Sciences..."

Fang Jifan was staring at the strange Hanlin in the crowd. He... was he very familiar with him?

Why did he bully himself?

Fang Jifan hurriedly gave Zhu Houzhao a wink.

Zhu Houzhao touched the seal on his waist and couldn't help but say, "What are you talking nonsense? My father never said it was the fault of the Academy of Sciences from the beginning to the end. Who are you? You dare to take advantage of the issue here."

When Yan Shidu heard this, his face changed and he was trembling, but he said, "I... I am speaking for justice."

After hearing this, Fang Jifan couldn't help but burst out... and almost burst out laughing.

But this sniffle was enough to attract everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at Fang Jifan one after another.

Yan Shidu didn't dare to provoke the prince. He looked at Fang Jifan and seemed... not easy to provoke, but when he thought about it carefully, Fang Jifan seemed to be softer than His Highness the Prince. He couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty is so worried, why does Fang Duke laugh?"

Fang Jifan held his hands behind his back and saw that many people were angry at him but not speaking out. Fang Jifan said, "It's just because you say that you are righteous and makes me laugh."

“…”

He speaks up for justice and is almost like the Qingliu people's archway. This lieutenant... Is he even want to smash the archway together?

But Fang Jifan smiled and said, "If someone is a hungry person who is almost dead, and someone brings him food, he refuses it. This is called not eating food that comes from pity, and it is a kind of character."

“…”

Fang Jifan said again: "But... if someone who is full and still holds up, someone brings him food and refuses it. Is this also called character?"

"What...what does it mean?"

Fang Jifan said: "It's very simple. A person knows what he wants to say, may cause a disaster, so he insists on saying that such a person is called a righteous and death dying. But a person, even though he knows that what he is doing, not only will he not be interrupted by others, but he still keeps saying that he is righteous and death dying. This... isn't it a joke? Where does justice come from? It's just a death dying. You all live well, but you always say that you are righteous and death dying. I don't understand this.

Why, the emperor has never been guilty of words, but you all seem to be persecuting you. You are talking about the ritual of justice and death all day long. What does this mean? This is a satirization that Your Majesty will kill you because of your words? But if Your Majesty is generous and you are so righteous, it would be a ghost. You will not die. You are shouting every day that you risk your life to speak out. What do you want to do? Do you want to create an image of not being greedy for life and fearing death?"
