Long Yan is furious!

Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi is very angry now!

Zhu Houzhao was a little dazed, he didn't seem very confident, he wanted to pretend to be dead, and he began to squeeze out a little tears when he worked hard.

Fang Jifan shrunk his neck, but he could only stubbornly say: "The minister and the prince are not in business. ”

This is...... Dead duck with a hard mouth!

If the two of them honestly admit their mistakes, it's fine, but these two guys are still desperately denying it here, this is a matter of attitude.

"Do you know that this is a crime of deception?" At this time, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to teach these two guys a lesson.

Fang Jifan said loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers and His Royal Highness the Prince, it is true that they are not doing business, His Royal Highness the Prince, worrying about the country and the people, these days, the weather is cold, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sees that the people are not clothed, and among the Beijing Division, the price of charcoal is higher day by day, and I don't know how many people are hungry and cold, for this reason, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so worried that he can't sleep every day." ”

"Yes, yes, Erchen's heart hurts, and he can't sleep!" Zhu Houzhao covered his heart, looking pained.

Fang Jifan immediately said: "For this reason, His Royal Highness the Minister and the Prince, for the livelihood of the people in the world, bought the barren mountain, let people mine coal, process the coal, and use this coal to replace charcoal, in this Jingshi, a pound of charcoal is thirty or forty dollars, and coal, a pound is only three or five copper coins, after the prince learned about it, he was ecstatic, if it can greatly reduce the cost of heating the people, this is compared to stabilizing the price of grain, and I don't know how many people can be saved, His Royal Highness the Prince and the ministers operate the coal mine is fake, but in fact, it is for the well-being of the people!" ”

How shameless people can say this money-making thing so high-sounding, Zhu Houzhao secretly glanced at Fang Jifan, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart, amazing, amazing.

He continued to cover his heart, as if he was constipated: "Yes, yes, my heart hurts, for the well-being of the people......"

“……”

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi saw these two guys, he knew that nine times out of ten they were not a good thing, and what they were doing for the well-being of the people was simply nonsense.

"Selling coal for heating ......" Hanlin has become a pot of porridge.

Although the Hanlin people are usually in the ivory tower and stay away from this matter of firewood, rice, oil and salt, they still have common sense and say: "Nonsense, how to heat with coal, where is this to save people, this is harmful." ”

"Your Highness, isn't it with this Fang Jifan, who bought and sold it by force, Your Highness, how can you do such a thing."

Strong buying, forced selling......

It seems that this reason is the most appropriate.

It's not a forced buying and selling, who is full and supports the sale of coal for heating? Most of it was Fang Jifan's bad idea, he wanted to make money, so he and the prince went to get the useless coal and sold it to people, he is the prince, who dares not to give silver? Think about those poor people, what sins they had done in their previous lives, they were already living in a bitter cold, but with blood and tears, they were oppressed by the prince and Fang Jifan.

Someone hammered his heart, and suddenly cried: "How can the prince do such a thing, how can it be like this, the heavy snow in autumn has already made the people miserable, His Royal Highness the prince is not sympathetic to them, and he even forced them to buy and sell, this is a great misfortune for the country, this must be Fang Jifan's bad idea." ”

Given Fang Jifan's notoriety, it seems that ...... This is the only explanation.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he was even more furious, in fact, he had been patient, he wanted to see what Fang Jifan and the prince were doing, he also knew a little about coal mining, but he didn't interfere, but he never imagined that the purpose of these two guys in coal mining was to sell this coal as charcoal.

Emperor Hongzhi was trembling with anger, and glanced at Fang Jifan fiercely, his impression of Fang Jifan has actually been quite good, which is why Emperor Hongzhi has always acquiesced to Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan's nonsense.

It's bearable, it's unbearable!

"Are you two guilty?"

Emperor Hongzhi let out a low roar, this was the last chance that Emperor Hongzhi gave them.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, a voice came.

Everyone couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.

saw a person and slowly stood up.

There are few people in this world who dare to interrupt the emperor at this time, but this person is among these few people.

This person is Liu Jian, a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the cabinet.

Liu Jian is broad and profound, dares to speak up, takes the world as his own responsibility, is open-minded, does not remember personal grudges, is not only the first assistant, but also the gentleman in the court, and Emperor Hongzhi has a lot of trust in him.

So his words and deeds are very important.

Emperor Hongzhi was about to roll up his sleeves and severely punish these two guys, but was interrupted by Liu Jian, and couldn't help but glance at Liu Jian suspiciously, but had to say: "Liu Qingjia, what do you have to say?" ”

Liu Jian solemnly bowed to the ground and said: "I think that anthracite is indeed very good!" ”

“……”

In the Chongwen Palace, a strange atmosphere suddenly rose.

It's okay that the prince is ridiculous, not to mention Fang Jifan, a scumbag, he is not ridiculous, it is really the sun that hits the west and comes out.

Ke Liu Gong...... The dignified first auxiliary scholar, the old minister who obeyed His Majesty's words, actually ......

"Lao Chen also thinks that anthracite is good." This time, it was Xie Qian who stood up.

Xie Qian couldn't hold it back for a long time, he was straightforward and wanted to say it for a long time.

Buzz Buzz......

The Hanlin were completely boiling.

Gong Xie actually breathed out from one nostril with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and that Fang Jifan?

This...... What's going on?

But just when everyone was stunned.

Li Dongyang also came out slowly, and his expression was calm: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Jifan are indeed indispensable, with this anthracite alone, I don't know how many people will be saved!" The crown prince and Fang Jifan have done such a righteous act, and there are countless living people, and the old ministers admire them so much! ”

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

He generally has reservations about other people's words.

But these three people, as far as Emperor Hongzhi is concerned, are not only monarchs and ministers, but also trustworthy close friends, the three cabinet scholars, the Ming Dynasty's Zaifu, are unanimous, and they praise this coal, and even say such words as saving the common people, this ...... How can it be?

Liu Jian's face was very calm, he didn't look like he was joking at all, and in fact, the dignified Ming Cabinet Chief Auxiliary would never joke at this time.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Liu Qingjia, what do you mean?" ”

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, recently not only in Beijing, from Beijing to Tongzhou and even Henan, Shandong and other places suddenly snowed, as far as the minister knows, the price of charcoal has risen again and again, and ordinary people, but there is no firewood for heating, the frozen dead, can not count, how difficult the people's livelihood is, Your Majesty is kind-hearted, can you watch the people hungry and cold?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi was moved, he stared at Liu Jian and didn't say a word.

Liu Jian continued: "But the helpless thing is that even a good woman can't cook without rice. His Royal Highness the Prince and Fang Jifan actually made anthracite, which was used by the old minister himself, and it was more durable than charcoal, but it was tasteless and smokeless, and it was really a cold artifact. The minister also learned that the price of a pound of coal, but only one percent of charcoal, the price is low, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, I am afraid that even ordinary people can buy it to keep warm and keep out the cold, the minister dares to say that with this anthracite, this year's cold disaster, the population of freezing to death, will be greatly reduced. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jian was greatly touched, when this severe cold came, he and the cabinet ministers were still worried, who knows, it was easily resolved by this small anthracite.

As soon as this thing came out, it was like a long drought and a rainstorm, which made him still sigh that this was a gift from God.
