Chapter 354: Zhao Hao Fenglou

The blazing fire was filled with thick smoke, which rose up, but obscured the sky.

The ashes that were dancing in the air were dancing wildly in the air, and countless people couldn't help but cough.

"Sir, go quickly!"

Such a fire could not be controlled at all, not to mention that the shipyard was full of flammable wood. At this time, a big fire was in danger and it was impossible to save at all.

The craftsmen who were originally kneeling on the ground were scattered, and even the Jinyiwei could not resist it. Seeing the heat waves and thick smoke coming, they all looked at Hao Fenglou at the same time.

Hao Fenglou looked calm, and he put one hand behind him, but shouted loudly: "Go."

A huge crowd of people all came out of the shipyard.

The eunuch Xiao Yue naturally looked embarrassed and came out in the chaos surrounded by a group of guards.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Xiao Yue was already sitting in a carriage, with a huge fire behind her, but at this time, he didn't feel relaxed, because he knew in his heart that Zhu Qian had fallen into the hands of the Jinyiwei. If Zhu Qian said something at this time, he would be done.

Of course... he also knew very well that whether Zhu Qian spoke or not was himself. The most important thing at the moment was to make Zhu Qian have hope. As for other things, it would be impossible to do something else. He could only do it without stopping. He weighed in his mind that in the imperial prison, which of the few people he knew was more reliable, but on the other side, he wanted to give up wings and return to the palace immediately.

All the blame should naturally be attributed to Hao Fenglou. Only by destroying this person can he be absolutely safe.

As the eunuch in charge of military battles, Xiao Yue's identity should not be underestimated. But he also knew that Hao Fenglou was definitely not a small character, and he might not be sure of winning. If he wins, he will naturally rest assured and lose. That would be a place where he will die without a burial.

So Xiao Yue arrived at the Meridian Gate with 120,000 caution.

When the access control met Xiao Yue, he did not make things difficult for him. He just asked: "Why did Eunuch Xiao return to the palace?"

Xiao Yue said sternly: "A quick report, just say that there is something important in our family to report, and something happened in the shipyard."

The guards did not dare to neglect them, so they ran to inform the Tongzheng Department of the Tongzheng Department in a hurry. Eunuchs from the Tongzheng Department immediately went to the warm house.

And in the warm pavilion, all the people who knew it were finally calm at this moment. While waiting for the news, Zhu Di was explaining the shipbuilding matters.

"Xiao Yue? Xiao Yue is back?" Zhu Di frowned, and he felt something was wrong.

"Come in."

After a stick of incense, Xiao Yue came in in a mess and burst into tears. His tears were not fake, and even the choking sound made people look at him.

But his crying made everyone's face look a little unfair.

Obviously... something happened in the shipyard.

"Your Majesty, I will die. I bear the heavy trust of Your Majesty and urge the construction of a ship. But who knows... Who knows... Who knows... Who knows... Who knows...

"The shipyard is the hard work of the court. How could I not know? Since the shipyard was abandoned, the court spent so much effort and food to re-open it. It also consumed a lot of manpower. It was because of Your Majesty's order to supervise it. I dare not be negligent at all. What I thought in my heart was that I would build this ship as soon as possible for Your Majesty to fulfill Your Majesty's wish."

"But... but who knew that the shipyard had a dispute, but for some reason, the Jinyiwei actually fought with the craftsmen and could not get along. Although I was a supervising man and carrying the emperor's orders, those Jinyiwei also carried the emperor's orders. I want to take care of this matter, but I can't get involved. What is I? I'm nothing, I can only worry..."

"It was just... I thought it was just a small dispute, but it was just a matter of sesame and green beans. Originally, this matter would be over. At that time, let the saints be allowed to be, but I never expected that those Jinyiwei suddenly came out, surrounded the shipyard, took people, and cut off many people's heads..."

Xiao Yue said that when she was 'sad', she burst into tears, and then she cried even more bitterly: "The shipyard is in chaos. What do those craftsmen know? When they saw the Jinyiwei killing people randomly, they were so scared that they were out of their minds. Tens of thousands of craftsmen, how could they be restrained? As a result... But somehow, maybe they were neglecting to prevent or someone deliberately did it. In short, a fire broke out in the cable yard and the fire spread. If there was no previous chaos at that time, the fire might have been able to curb, but... it just... the fire burned, and the entire shipyard was gone, and everything... it was gone..."

The shipyard is gone...

Zhu Di's face suddenly fell down.

Xiao Yue was very smart. He didn't tell Zhu Di directly that it was Hao Fenglou. He knew in his heart that His Majesty had a close relationship with Hao Fenglou. At this time, it was extremely risky to point at the nose and scold Hao Fenglou and directly put all the relationship on the person surnamed Hao.

And he was never stupid enough to slander the Jinyiwei and set fire. But this was exactly how powerful he was. It was precisely because he did not criticize Hao Fenglou and the Jinyiwei that his words were more credible.

The first impression of everyone is that this Eunuch Xiao is expected to come to Hao Fenglou, the Jinyiwei, and since there is no conflict of interest, his words are extremely fair.

At this time, Xia Yuanji couldn't sit still and couldn't help saying, "What does the doctor Zhu Qian do for? Why... why... indulge this kind of thing..."

Xiao Yue said: "Zhu Qian was taken by the Jinyiwei earlier, but he didn't know what crime he committed."

All of a sudden... the whole thing seemed to be clear...

The Jinyiwei of the shipyard had a conflict with the craftsmen, and the two sides fought. Then, Hao Fenglou was furious and ordered the Jinyiwei of each thousand households to enter the shipyard to get people. Even the doctor Zhu Qian was not spared.

But at this time, it happened to be a fire. Whether it was someone who deliberately set fire or it was just an accident, it is certain that if the situation was not serious at that time and the backbone figures in the shipyard were not taken by the Jinyiwei, the fire could be avoided. At least, even if there was a fire, as long as the shipyard was not in chaos, it could be extinguished in time.

However... it was precisely because of the Jinyiwei's "make a big deal" and because the Jinyiwei was eager to take revenge, that serious consequences were caused.

Both the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji and the Minister of Works Song Li were furious at this time.

This shipyard spent countless money and grain and spent nearly one million taels of silver. Now that I haven’t seen a single ship, I’m just gone. For this shipyard, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works have experienced a lot of bargaining. For the shipyard, Xia Yuanji and Song Li often stayed up all night, and everything, all my efforts have become nothing.

Even if this matter was not done on purpose by Hao Fenglou and the Jinyiwei, the consequences caused by this matter were unreasonable if this account was not included in Hao Fenglou and the Jinyiwei.

Xia Yuanji was so angry that he trembled slightly and said in pain: "Your Majesty... Old Master... Old Master is useless. He is really dead. I have tried my best to ask my old man to return home and beg your Majesty to beg you for your kindness."

Xia Yuanji's move was not a false act. He spent so much effort to embezzle the money for the sake of this money, but the result was that it was so disheartened that he couldn't help but want to withdraw.

Zhu Di's mood is actually not much better. In recent months, he has been asking about shipbuilding and shipbuilding every day, but now it is all burning. This mood can be imagined.

He couldn't help but sigh, "This is God's will, and God's will is hard to violate it."

Zhu Di suddenly sighed like this, and he waved his hand and said, "All the ministers, please retreat, all of them will retreat."

The ministers looked at each other. They had expected that His Majesty would be furious. The Jinyiwei would be in trouble. Hao Fenglou, the initiator, could not help but summoned into the palace to question.

But looking at the emperor's appearance, he was completely disappointed.

They suddenly realized that Zhu Di was actually in a bleak state at this moment, and no one dared to speak at this moment, so everyone stood up and said, "I will leave."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Only Zhu Di is left in the hall.

Zhu Di stood up and bypassed the imperial case, but stood directly opposite the imperial chair.

His eyes stared at the imperial chair with bright eyes. Under the palace lanterns, the imperial chair with gold foil was shining. This halo made Zhu Di's old eyes a little dizzy.

He stood still, and countless scenes emerged in his mind. In this scene, there were both golden swords and iron horses, wars and fire, and the ones who entered Nanjing City with thousands of glory added...

Zhu Di suddenly thought that when he was sitting in this imperial chair for the first time, he secretly swore that he would create great achievements for thousands of years and to imitate Taizu and be remembered forever.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di's tiger body trembled and his eyes became hot.

"People...come...summon Hao Fenglou quickly summon Hao Fenglou into the hall. It takes half an hour, I only have half an hour, and let Hao Fenglou come to see me within half an hour!"

"Get my whip, bring it..."

A trace of severity flashed through Zhu Di's eyes.

Zheng He was waiting outside the hall with a trembling trembling. Standing beside him was Xiao Yue who came out of the hall. Xiao Yue didn't show any expression. When he heard the word "whip", he couldn't help but sneer. He glanced coldly at Zheng He, looking like he was smiling, deliberately standing on the other side of the corridor with his hands behind his back.
