Chapter 287 The son is worried about his father’s safety

"Who wants to kill whom?"

"."

As soon as these words came out, the entire Nuang Pavilion was silent for an instant. Emperor Hongzhi's already ugly face suddenly darkened. He had the urge to take off the jade belt around his waist, but considering the presence of his daughter, he held it back.

Immediately, he took a deep breath and pointed to the southeast corner of the Nuan Pavilion, "Go, kneel down there for me."

Zhu Houzhao's mind was already confused when he just woke up, and he was even more confused when he heard this, "Why?"

"."

Zhu Youtang glanced at him coldly, said nothing, and pointed to the corner of Nuange again with his hand.

"."

Zhu Houzhao looked confused. He had just received in his ears the sentence threatening to beat someone to death. His brain was forced to turn on, and he was forced to sit up, and then he asked this question.

But why are we being treated like this?

He couldn't figure it out, but looking at his father's unkind eyes, he still followed his heart, walked over and knelt down there.

Emperor Hongzhi's voice was cold, "Turn around and face the corner. Don't let me see you."

Zhu Houzhao: "."

Did your father take the wrong medicine? Am I not your biological son?

Seeing him turn around, Zhu Youtang looked back, but his face was still gloomy.

Xia Yuan was thinking quietly beside him. In fact, if the dog prince just sat up suddenly, who wants to seduce the king? Or who wants to punish the sycophant?

Emperor Hongzhi probably wouldn't be angry, but felt that this boy was worried about state affairs.

But he insisted on saying who should be beaten to death.

"What is the current situation of Feng Ying Ku?"

"I don't know this. I only know that hundreds of troublemaking officials have rushed into Fengying Treasury. I'm afraid. I'm afraid the situation is not very optimistic."

"Why are they making trouble?" Zhu Houzhao, who was kneeling in the corner, turned his head quickly.

"."

Xia Yuan's cheek twitched, can you die if you ride on the horse and don't speak?

Zhu Youtang ignored him, stared at Xiao Jing and asked, "Didn't the factory guards suppress him?"

"Back to the Emperor, there are too many officials involved, and the factory guards dare not act rashly, so they have to report it to the Emperor first."

During the Hongzhi period, factory guards were restricted and no longer enjoyed their former glory. In other words, Emperor Hongzhi suppressed the factory guards and had them firmly in his hands. All matters, big and small, must be reported to him as the emperor.

But no matter what the explanation is, we are now waiting for him, the emperor, to make his decision.

However, Xia Yuan felt that this idea was not easy to take. After all, hundreds of officials were involved. If it was not handled properly, it would cause trouble and even turmoil.

When he went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for salary, when he heard that the imperial court had owed officials three months' salary, he guessed that the Ming Dynasty must have suffered from poverty again.

So he didn't want it.

For more than ten taels of silver, if he has no conscience, he can say: I am a person in Xia who cares about the country and the people, and understands the difficulties of the court.

But it is more because the salaries of all officials in the world are in arrears and have not been paid, especially among the officials in the capital, there are many poor people.

If this salary cannot be paid out by the end of the year, there may be some trouble.

And if I want to pay a salary arrears, it will still be real money. To say the least, it will cause public anger and be pulled out as a target.

On a larger scale, it can be elevated to a political event.

Nowadays, salaries are being paid, but they are paid with spices and pepper, which is in line with the tradition of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, people were familiar with doing this kind of thing, and it was not a matter of doing it once or twice, but it was basically half and half, with salary and spices, but this time they were all given spices, so the powder keg exploded.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Hongzhi finally made up his mind and said: "Let's go to Fengyingku."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao stood up and said, "Father, my sons and ministers are going too!"

"."

Emperor Hongzhi looked over again with unkind eyes. Zhu Houzhao did not give up this time, but shouted: "I didn't go to see the excitement. There is a fight in that place now. It is very dangerous. I am worried about the safety of my father."

At this time, heavy snow was falling all over the sky in the Fengying warehouse. The cloth bags containing pepper and spices were thrown all over the ground. Many of them were scattered and covered by the heavy snow.

Hundreds of people were lying on the snow. Most of them had bruises and swollen faces, and their bodies were covered with shoe marks. Some were curled up and groaning.

The war situation was one-sided from the beginning, but in the end it can only be said that both sides suffered losses. The officials and scribes of the Ministry of Revenue were all wiped out, and the hundreds and thousands of poor officials in the capital were not without losses.

After knocking down the gang of household officials and ending the fight, the anger of the group seemed to begin to subside. Some people ran to rummage in Feng Ying's library, only to see that everything was empty.

Some people went to help those comrades fighting side by side, while more people stood in the snow and looked around blankly.

It seemed like I was in big trouble.

It is a serious crime to beat a Shangguan, not to mention beating so many Shangguan, even one of them is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Someone looked at the red-robed man lying in the snow. He was an old man in his fifties, and he was the first to bear the brunt of the beating. Han Wen didn't have to resist for a few times before he fell over.

At this time, they all seemed a little scared, but everyone just pursed their lips and remained silent. No one spoke or spoke.

Until a group of officials ran out of Fengying Treasury and shouted: "Everyone, what should I do? There is not a single grain of money or grain in this huge treasury!"

"I knew it a long time ago. It must have been corrupted by these dog officials!"

This statement was agreed upon by most people, "Yes, they have all been corrupted by these dog officials. We will beat them unjustly. This is called eradicating traitors for the country!"

"Yes, we will eliminate traitors for the country!"

Everyone agreed with this sentence, and soon the man named Liu Jiyu climbed onto the table where the only major case that had not been overturned shouted: "Everyone! Listen to what I have to say!"

All the people who originally agreed with the words "eliminate traitors for the country" stopped when they heard the shouting, and countless eyes looked at him.

Liu Jiyu also had some color on his face. He stood on the big case and shouted: "Everyone! You have all seen it now. There is not a grain of money or grain in this abundant treasury! Why? Because of the corrupt officials in the state, and the government is corrupt."

It is only greed, big greed and extreme greed that leads to a deficit in the national treasury.

It doesn’t matter if we have a salary or not, but without these salaries, we are just borrowing some grain and rice to celebrate the New Year, and no one will starve to death!

Therefore, we are not beating up these bad officials for the sake of salary. We are seeking fawns for the country! We are hunting down traitors for the country!

Just like after the civil engineering disaster, the loyal ministers of the country beat up Wang Zhen's traitorous party!

Now that the fight is over, what we should do is go to your father, enumerate the evils and evils of our Ming Dynasty, denounce these corrupt officials, and the great rats in our country! Give our Ming Dynasty a clear sky!"

When he said these words, he immediately won applause from the whole hall. Everyone looked at him with approval, and then everyone yelled, "Yes, Mr. Liu is right! Find the emperor, find your father, and ask for help."

Your Majesty, Father!"

"Yes, write a memorial! Go and join them!"

There was really a response, everyone seemed to have found the backbone, and the look of indignation appeared on their faces, and immediately everyone rushed out of Fengyingku.

The snow was falling heavily, and it wasn't until everyone was gone that a group of bewildered warehouse workers came over and began to clean up the mess.

Ignoring the spices scattered on the ground, I first helped up the officials who had been beaten down.

Of course the first one to help was Han Wen. Seeing that the usually aloof Minister of the Ministry of Finance had his eyes closed tightly and looked like he was unconscious, he boldly reached out to check his breathing, and suddenly a big stone fell in his heart.

Just fell.

Still angry.
