A memorial, three questions. It doesn’t seem to be directed at anyone, and Han Du’s name is not even mentioned in the entire article, but it is obvious who the memorial is for.
But Lao Zhu couldn't care less about who this memorial was for now. All he could think about now was the issue of nearly 10,000 households losing their livelihoods in the blink of an eye.
There are nearly ten thousand households, and there are tens of thousands of mouths waiting for food.
Although the Ming Dynasty has always encouraged business since the founding of the country, Lao Zhu also imposed many restrictions on business.
However, what Lao Zhu never expected was that the dispute between charcoal and coal, which in Lao Zhu's view was not even a national matter, would unexpectedly lead to the sudden loss of livelihoods of tens of thousands of people.
Just the disappearance of a charcoal trading company can affect the livelihood of tens of thousands of people. What about the others? Those that deal in grain, cotton and linen cloth. If the charcoal business is cut off, wouldn't it affect hundreds of thousands, or even
The livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people?
If this happens, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
Lao Zhu put the memorial on the imperial desk with a solemn expression, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Summon Han Du into the palace."
In this way, Han Du had just left the East Palace and before leaving the palace gate, he was summoned by Lao Zhu.
"Your Majesty, Han Du, pays homage to your Majesty." Han Du bowed respectfully.
When Han Du saluted Lao Zhu in the past, he actually didn't have any respect in his heart. Having lived in modern times for decades, he had never had the concept of an emperor in his heart. In Han Du's view, the emperor was just like him.
All people are equal.
The reason why I was afraid of Lao Zhu in the past was because I was afraid of Lao Zhu's butcher knife, not his status as emperor.
But now Han Du can't help but be disrespectful. After all, he wants to marry someone else's daughter, so he should naturally treat his father-in-law with respect.
If Lao Zhu knew what Han Du was thinking now, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood. His status as emperor is not as good as that of his father-in-law?
However, Lao Zhu obviously doesn't know what Han Du is thinking. His top priority now is to properly resettle the nearly 10,000 households that have lost their livelihoods as the charcoal disappears.
What should these people do? It is obviously not possible to directly give them money and food. Moreover, even if it is possible to directly give money and food, Lao Zhu will not give it, because the court's taxes are already beyond its means every year, how can he squeeze out such
How much money and food will be given to the people?
Therefore, when Lao Zhu saw Han Du, he felt angry in his heart, blaming this boy for causing trouble for me all the time. If Han Du and Fuqi Trading hadn't suppressed each other, this situation would not have happened.
Bang~
"Han Du, do you know your guilt?" Lao Zhu's eyes widened and his face was full of anger.
Han Du was shocked by the sudden noise and his shoulders shook. He raised his head and looked at Lao Zhu in shock.
Could it be that Lao Zhu knew about Princess Anqing? Is this impossible?
Although he thought it was impossible, Han Du himself was not sure about it. After all, apart from all kinds of weird emperors, the most famous one in the Ming Dynasty was the frightening Jin Yiwei.
Legend has it that Jin Yiwei was so perverted that he could tell Lao Zhu clearly what each minister had eaten last night and which concubine he slept with.
But it shouldn't be. This is only the 14th year of Hongwu. The legendary Jin Yiwei, perhaps even Lao Zhu, has not yet been established.
And not only that, even if Lao Zhu now has a secret spy, it would be impossible to discover what happened between Han Du and Princess Anqing.
After all, Zhu Biao was helping with the connection between Han Du and Princess Anqing.
Lao Zhu may not trust people in the world, but he has absolute trust in Zhu Biao. Even if he has an informant secretly arranged by the minister, he will not send him to keep an eye on Zhu Biao.
Because there is absolutely no need, just look at the team of kings that Lao Zhu has assigned to Zhu Biao. If Zhu Biao were to force the palace now, Lao Zhu would probably abdicate with a smile.
Lao Zhu was satisfied with Han Du's stunned expression and did not care about what Han Du was thinking. He threw the memorial in front of Han Du and said coldly: "See for yourself, what a good thing you have done."
When Han Du saw the memorial that Lao Zhu threw in front of him, he felt relieved. It seemed that it was none of Princess Anqing's business. Now he felt relieved. Thinking about how nervous he felt just now, he laughed at himself and thought that he was really scaring himself.
After picking up the memorial and reading it carefully, Han Du suddenly looked a little strange on his face with his head lowered.
The person who wrote this memorial is a talented person. He points sharply at himself throughout the entire poem, but he never even mentions his name. It’s quite a bit like writing a poem about spring but starting from the beginning.
There's a taste where you can't even find the word spring in the end.
Just holding this memorial gives Lao Zhu a headache. Even though he is an emperor, he can't even rebuke the person who wrote this memorial. Because this memorial is based on facts, pain is presented as benefit, and it is not directed at anyone.
.Even if Lao Zhu wanted to rebuke him, he couldn't find a reason.
Some people may think that since this memorial does not target anyone, then as long as Lao Zhu ignores this memorial, nothing will happen.
If anyone thinks this way, it is a big mistake, and if Lao Zhu can really deal with it this way, then there is no need for him to summon Han Du.
The purpose of publishing this memorial was not for Lao Zhu to see it, but for officials at all levels to see it. Anyone with a discerning eye will know who the memorial is about, and it concerns the lives of tens of thousands of people.
Livelihood. Compared with the livelihood of tens of thousands of people and that of an eighth-grade official like Han Du, is it still an obvious matter?
If Lao Zhu had mishandled the situation, or if he had dealt with it coldly, then once this memorial was leaked, and then some people would publicize it, saying that the emperor had ignored the lives of tens of thousands of people in order to protect a traitorous villain.
At that time, I'm afraid even Lao Zhu can't bear it. There is no other way but to use Handu's head to appease the public anger.
As for whether this memorial will be leaked, haha, it has been read by so many officials, so how could it not be leaked?
Han Du sighed in his heart. Even if all the officials could keep their mouths shut, they might not be able to help leaking it out. Could it be that the person who wrote this memorial was not a human being? How could he just give up after he has been busy for so long?
Therefore, this memorial cannot be ignored and must be handled properly. Therefore, Lao Zhu hurriedly summoned Han Du and asked him to find a solution. After all, this was related to Han Du's own head.
Awesome! Awesome.
There is a bad person in the court! And he is also a smart person. Han Du couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
