The next day.

As many people expected, the impeachment memorial flew into the palace like snowflakes.

Almost all these impeachment memorials can be loaded in boxes.

Emperor Hongzhi only heard a little about what happened yesterday, but he didn't think it was too serious.

They are just doing business, what's wrong with you?

But when he opened the memorial, he was a little confused.

The prince is going to play a monkey show?

Just to open a shop, the prince went to play monkey shows himself, this...

Crazy... It's simply crazy...

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't calm down.

He felt that he had been very encouraged to Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan.

A so enlightened emperor like himself is unprecedented and has no future.

If it were other emperors who could tolerate such a prince and would he tolerate the vassal?

Although these two guys have many advantages, this time, they obviously have played too much.

A shop, with a lot of money, even if it makes it earn hundreds of taels of silver a day... This is the limit. Just like this shop, the prince goes to play monkey drama?

Emperor Hongzhi was not as sad as the one in this memorial, saying that the prince's move was actually a hindering state system and insulting his ancestors.

Things are not that serious.

Emperor Hongzhi ruled the country for decades and knew that silver was a good thing. Only with silver could one raise soldiers, provide disaster relief, and build bridges and roads. The foundation of the country and the rise and fall of the country are closely related to silver.

Without silver, you have to increase taxes. If the tax increases too much, the people will be overwhelmed and have to be disloyal and rebellious. In the face of rebellion, you have to suppress the enemy. If the troops and horses move, food and grass will take the lead. This is still silver.

Throughout history, how many dynasties have died here?

The so-called solidity of the country, whether it is virtuous or not, is all nonsense, and it is just taken for granted by the Qingliu people.

So to a certain extent, Emperor Hongzhi encouraged the prince to earn money. The more he earned, if he succeeded the throne in the future, at least he would not extend his hand into the treasury or to the common people.

But... this pattern is really too low.

Emperor Hongzhi felt very sad.

It is said that a tiger father has no dog son, and I am a very generous person. Why is he not arrogant at all after giving birth to a son?

Of course, although Zhu Houzhao has always been willful, Emperor Hongzhi did not believe that Zhu Houzhao was so stupid.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi keenly found a memorial.

This is a memorial that Liu Kaizhi, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, said bluntly that according to him, the affairs of the business were mostly managed by Chen Tong, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This matter is inseparable from Chen Tong. Chen Tong, who is a human face and a beastly heart, is a disciple of a saint, and is so crazy...

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and pursed his lips, and a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes.

Chen Tong...

He still has an impression.

No wonder.

This person is specializing in bad ideas. He was the one who worked in the workshop at the beginning, so he still feels ashamed.

It turns out...it's still him.

If it were this person, then everything could be explained clearly.

I think no matter how the prince and Fang Jifan were, their structure would not be so low. They were so willful just to open a shop? Since it was not their problem, it must be someone else's problem. Then... it must be Chen Tong's bad situation, this is a big traitor.

Now, countless people impeached the prince, which ruined his reputation. Chen Tong is to blame.

Emperor Hongzhi had his face tense, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his fingers gently patted the desk, thinking about it, then said: "Come..."

"His Majesty……"

Emperor Hongzhi said unquestionably, "Today is noon, add one Wu Dynasty."

"I'll go now..."

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Also, summon the crown prince, Duke of Qi, and Chen Tong to meet together."

"Sister..." said the little eunuch: "Abide by the order."

…………

After the imperial edict was given, all the ministers above the fifth rank in the capital need to meet in court.

Because the matter was hasty, many people were talking about it. His Majesty did have two dynasties in one day, but in recent years, he has been "lazy". Perhaps it is because the emperor today believes that the dynasty will not be of much benefit to governing state affairs, or other reasons. In short, this sudden summons have caused a lot of speculation.

Of course... there are also people who are as clear as a mirror.

What happened yesterday was too big. The prince became a monkey. This is awesome. His Majesty was almost furious, but he didn't know who was unlucky.

However, Liu Kaizhi had a smug smile on his face. He knew the most about this matter, and his own opportunity was coming.

Such a big incident happened and so many people impeached the crown prince, Your Majesty must be furious, but what is the crown prince? The crown prince is the crown prince. Your Majesty will give the crown prince some face no matter what.

But I impeached Chen Tong, but I was actually thinking about it, because Chen Tong was the most suitable for being this scapegoat. In this way, Your Majesty must use his impeachment memorial to make a fuss. Not only did he show his character, he also broke with a thief like Chen Tong, and he also took this opportunity to fall into His Majesty's thoughts. This is a kill of three birds with one stone, which will definitely attract the attention of Your Majesty and the Cabinet.

It seems... my luck is coming.

He followed the crowd to the Meridian Gate with great enthusiasm.

But at this moment, a team of guards surrounded the prince, Fang Jifan and Chen Tong had arrived.

The guards said they were guards, but they looked like they were being held in custody.

But... Zhu Houzhao still looked heartless, lowered her head and thought, obviously... he was paying the score with all his heart.

Fang Jifan yawned repeatedly, looking sleepy, and finally got a little bit of energy.

Chen Tong seemed uneasy, and suddenly was called, which didn't seem like a good sign. Moreover, he had heard about the impeachment of many people, and it wouldn't be...

He glanced at Fang Jifan quietly, and his heart suddenly seemed to fall into the ice cellar, which was so cold.

No...No...

After these days of contact, Duke Qi was very polite to him, and could even be said to be kind and kind. Yesterday, he asked his family how many people were in the family, whether his parents were in the church, and whether they were in good health to their children.

This... definitely won't...

He looked up, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of Liu Kaizhi. Liu Kaizhi seemed to look at him coldly, with that look...

Subconsciously, Chen Tong's heart skipped a beat again, as if he was stabbed hard by a needle, and suddenly he had an unknown premonition.

Without thinking about it, he stepped forward and whispered: "Duke of Qi, Duke of Qi..."

Fang Jifan woke up as if he was in a dream: "Ah...what's the matter..."

"Today, His Majesty suddenly summoned him, I feel..."

Fang Jifan blinked and finally found some energy. Then he patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem, even if there is something, it won't be a big deal. Your Majesty is kind and will not kill anyone."

"Oh." Chen Tong nodded thoughtfully and chewed Fang Jifan's words carefully.

At this time... the Meridian Gate opened and all officials entered one after another.

Most of the officials looked at the prince and the Duke of Qi with strange eyes. They were extremely convinced by the prince. At this time, they could still look indifferent. Alas... What a pity, His Majesty only thinks about the national affairs all day long, but does not think about the joy of the harem. He only gave birth to such a son, Alas...

All the ministers arrived at Fengtian Hall.

salute.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was cold and his eyes narrowed.

He was impatient with the red tape.

His eyes fell on the prince. Although he was a little blamed, he was still filled with tenderness of doting.

After correcting his face, Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "I have summoned all the ministers to come today for one thing. It has always been said that family scandals should not be made public, but the emperor's family affairs are state affairs. I heard that the prince's behavior was often inappropriate, and even the subjects were suspicious of the subjects. This matter... I am the king and the father, and I should cover it up, but if the prince is wrong, how can he blindly cover it up? The prince... After all, he is young..."

After hearing the word "young", the ministers knew it.

Your Majesty has set the tone. The prince is still a child. What else do you want to do?

Everyone couldn't help but look at the prince and look left and right. Is this still a child?

But... it was obvious that no one dared to make any objections, and all the ministers were silent and listened to the Hadith carefully.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "It is better to make this clear. If the prince has made any mistakes, he will correct it; if there is no, he will be encouraged."

Then, Emperor Hongzhi picked up a memorial from the imperial case and opened it: "I have heard from Liu Kaizhi, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, come up, Liu Qing's family."

??Liu Kaizhi heard that he became active and was full of joy.

Your Majesty is indeed... as expected.

He immediately left the work, went forward to give a big gift, and said with great enthusiasm: "I am here."

Emperor Hongzhi Yang his memorial: "What you wrote in your family will report to you as it is today."

"Yes." Liu Kaizhi said, and glanced at Chen Tong from the corner of his eyes.

At this time, Chen Tong's heart skipped a beat. His face suddenly turned pale and he was already a little confused.

Thinking back to the beginning, he and Liu Kaizhi were friends, but they didn't expect that today they had become enemies.

At this time, he heard Liu Kai's words: "Your Majesty, the incidents of the prince that caused a lot of controversy yesterday were actually led by Chen Tong, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I have deliberately investigated that Chen Tong is responsible for the shopping mall of Xingguo Business. Almost everything is up to him. According to the merchants I investigated, almost all the contacts are related to him. Therefore, I dare to assert that what happened to the prince is naturally unrelated to Chen Tong. Please be careful."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people's eyes fell on Chen Tong, with different meanings in their eyes.

Chen Tong's scalp suddenly became numb.

He was a little confused.

Then, as if he was struck by lightning, his whole body was soft and he was about to collapse.

Such a big relationship is all on my head.

It's over, it's over.
