Emperor Hongzhi sighed and looked at these enthusiastic merchants and people.

At this moment... I felt the joy of the sudden increase in the treasury in my heart.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Emperor Hongzhi left the exchange speechlessly, and Xiao Jing followed his side.

After Emperor Hongzhi got on the car, he ordered Xiao Jing to get on the car and accompany him.

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi's worried look, Xiao Jing probably understood in his heart: "The Emperor is worried."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing and finally spoke: "What I see is two worlds, two kinds of people. I am wondering, are these people who are secretly saying that the prince does not look like a king? Are they really dissatisfied with the prince? After the prince ascended the throne, can they really control them?"

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, children and grandchildren will be blessed by their own children."

"This is for those who want to be free and easy. I don't believe this. I only know that the kindness of my father and grandfather can protect my descendants. Over the years, I have seen many people reject the new policy. These merchants and ministers are incompatible with water and fire." Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "I don't want the foundation I left for the prince to have flaws. Although beautiful jade is inevitably flawed, it would be fine if I don't know. Since I know, I always feel that there is a thorn in my heart. I want to pull this thorn out!"

Pulled out!

Xiao Jing's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He knew very well what the light word "tweaked" meant behind it.

Could it be... Your Majesty wants to imitate Emperor Taizu?

For example... the Hu Weiyong case.

This Hu Weiyong case is extraordinary. Hu Weiyong was the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Gao of Emperor Taizu. Because of this case, there were tens of thousands of people involved, and most of them were noble officials.

His Majesty said that he would completely remove these thorns, but I am afraid that... this scale will not be smaller than this.

But... Your Majesty has always been kind... This... This...

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "The factory guards must sort out all the behaviors of the ministers and officials, report to me, and come to me, what people have said and what they have done, whether these words are said openly or secretly, and all of them must be summarized. We must carefully investigate them, and we must not omit any of them."

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing was frightened. His Majesty's order was really...

Xiao Jing is not a decisive person, and it can even be said that... he is different from many eunuchs. He is not a person who holds power and kills randomly.

Even if he has his own little thoughts, he has a mean and selfish side, but when he thinks that His Majesty actually has these thoughts...

For a moment, he was in a state of sacrificial spirit. In the car, he curled up in the car, and said with a tragic expression: "Your Majesty has always been kind, how can you reach this moment... and start a massacre. If this is the case, I am afraid it will go against Your Majesty's original intention. Your Majesty... Once this is the case, no matter whether it is right or wrong, thousands of years later..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at him calmly: "I have my own opinions. You can do what you want to say. I know in my heart that I will be free of worries after I finish this matter."

Your Majesty is making up his mind to class?

Xiao Jing felt fear in his heart, but at this point, he dared not persuade him anymore.

Although His Majesty and the Prince are very different in nature, they are all the same. Once they make up their minds, they are not ordinary people to control them.

…………

Zhenguo Mansion...

Zhu Houzhao didn't care what his father was conspiring.

At this moment, he was grinning at the officials from the Ministry of Rites.

The ceremony of the throne is about to begin. According to the rules, in any such thing, the Ministry of Rites not only needs to determine the auspicious day, but also needs to prepare all the rules and etiquettes required for the ceremony.

And the prince was in full view on that day.

At that time, how should the ministers kneel down, how to salute the emperor, how to salute the new emperor, where the new emperor should stand first, then sit, how to accept the etiquette of all officials, and what should they say,... here... is a bit careless.

The Ministry of Rites sent someone to teach the prince how to deal with this red tape.

Zhu Houzhao refused. Now... the doctor of the Ministry of Rites is already bruised and swollen, but he still stretches his neck. Why are you hitting me? If you have the ability, you will hit me again.

Fang Jifan was holding his feet aside and smirked.

Because Zhu Houzhao was walking in a row, she looked like a duck.

Fang Jifan laughed once, and Zhu Houzhao became annoyed once, so he simply used the doctor of the Ministry of Rites to vent his anger.

The doctor is very tough. Because there is a problem with the ceremony, he must be the one who takes the blame. Before his life is in danger, he must be strong and persistent.

Zhu Houzhao finally got impatient: "Okay, okay, I will study again tomorrow, and study again tomorrow. Isn't there still three or five days?"

"Your Highness, there are two days left." The doctor curled his lips. He felt like he was going crazy. The prince felt tired, and he was actually even more tired!

Zhu Houzhao said disapprovingly: "Isn't it just that I just go forward and listen to my father's will first, and when he enthrone my palace as the emperor, I will be on the dragon throne and call me a lonely man."

"This is different." The doctor said seriously: "Your Highness, although it is simple to say, it is not easy to do. For example, how many times should your highness resign? After that... how many steps should your Majesty take to walk to the Golden Lunar calendar? Should you first step on your left foot or right foot, and how fast should you speak after you ascend to the throne? How long will it take to accept the minister's kneeling three times and nine times..."

Zhu Houzhao was dizzy when she heard this and said angrily: "Shut up, I dare to talk too much, I will castrate you and send you into the palace."

The doctor, however, remained calm and stammered his neck, looking stubborn: "Now the left is dead, the right is dead. If something goes wrong in the ceremony, I will die without a place to bury me. Your Highness will kill me, but I will die. At least I will die like this. I will just say it straightforwardly. If Your Highness can't learn, I will not plan to go out alive today!"

He patted his forehead with a tough attitude: "If your highness is furious, just do it, just hit here and give me some fun!"

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

Zhu Houzhao was silent for a moment, and when he saw Fang Jifan became honest, he immediately said, "Do you want to step on your left or your right foot first?"

"Since the Xia Dynasty, officials in court have been respected on the left; Yan drinks, which are evil things, and military affairs are respected on the right. In the Spring and Autumn Period, officials in court have been respected on the left; the army is respected on the right. After that, the Qin people respected on the left. The Han Dynasty respected on the right. The Six Dynasties officials respected on the left, and Yan drinks respected on the right. The ceremony of the throne was a grand ceremony, not a military matter, so they respected on the left and first stepped on the left foot."

Zhu Houzhao looked like she couldn't stand it again: "I asked casually why you talk so much."

"Everything has its origin. Without a origin, it is a rootless duckweed. Your Highness does not know it. I should tell you, and I will tell you, and I will know you."

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

After being tortured for two days, Zhu Houzhao had already started to shake her sleeves and said she would not be the emperor anymore.

It's been a good day after finally waiting for it.

Just as this day passed, Zhu Houzhao was surrounded by many ministers.

Fang Jifan was also brought in.

He protested loudly, it wasn't that he was the emperor, so why did he do so early?

But in fact, no one paid attention to him.

Whether it is joy or sorrow, all officials waited for the Daming Gate early.

Zhu Houzhao was wearing a python robe and dressed up. She looked around and called out: "Lao Fang, where is Lao Fang?"

So the eunuchs hurriedly searched everywhere.

Liu Jin is the most active.

He returned to Beijing with the order and made his fortune once he became rich. Now he is under one person and above ten thousand people, and his face is full of rosy. When he heard the prince was looking for his grandfather, he excitedly walked around the Zhenguo Mansion, but no matter what, he couldn't find it, and he was so anxious that Liu Jin shouted: "Where can I sleep here?"

"There is a side room at the back..."

"Walk!"

Liu Jin hurried to the side room, and the door opened, and it turned out...

So everyone pulled Fang Jifan out again. Fang Jifan saw Zhu Houzhao yawning, and both the king and his ministers looked in pain.

But when Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan, he was still happy: "Old Fang is here, I am afraid that you will sleep. If I don't sleep, don't sleep. You should stay by my side and follow me to the palace. Today... it's a happy day for me. Come and laugh."

Fang Jifan grinned, and then the muscles on his face tightened again.

So a large group of people marched towards the Daming Palace in a mighty manner.

This time, it was not to go to the Meridian Gate, but to go directly to the direction of the Ming Gate.

His Highness the Crown Prince will bring all the officials into the palace from the Daming Gate.

At this time, outside the Daming Gate, all the civil and military officials who were dressed in a new way stood in a solemn manner.

But... many people looked as if they were dead, without a slight festive look.

As soon as the prince's car arrived, it was a pity that it was still early. The Ming Gate had not opened yet, so he had to wait patiently here.

Countless people whispered to each other when they saw the prince.

Seeing the prince stepping, many people even laughed in their hearts.

This prince... doesn't look like he is a little polite.

Not like an emperor.

Of course, people dare not say such things in this kind of situation.

When I saw the Duke of Qi beside the prince, many people had deep hatred in their eyes.

This time... there are many people, like the Taichang Temple Minister Liu Jing, who suffered heavy losses because of short selling.

Many people... can no longer feel the prestige of being a minister of the court, but only think that they are a stray dog.

Now... the Duke of Qi is about to enter the cabinet and the crown prince ascended the throne again. From now on... I am afraid that the real hard days will be coming soon.

Such a sad feeling made people want to die simply.

Zhu Houzhao naturally felt that he didn't care about those strange looks at all. He looked so sarcastic, and even said happily: "Lao Fang, I am going to be the emperor soon. If I become the emperor, how about I give you an official position?"

Fang Jifan smiled and said modestly: "Your Highness is so polite. This... this... I am not a person who seeks fame, so what... what official position?"

"Make an emperor!" Zhu Houzhao said firmly.

Fang Jifan's legs suddenly became weak, and he felt dark in front of him.
Chapter completed!
