"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

The iron water and fire stick directly hit Mei Gongzi on the back, causing Mei Gongzi to scream again and again.

And this Mei Gongzi didn't expect that he would be beaten to death by his brother-in-law in a blink of an eye, and suddenly knew that the son across the screen was not an ordinary person, so he had to cry and roar: "This son, the villain knows that he is wrong!" Please let my brother-in-law spare my life! The villain kowtows to you, and the villain confesses to you! Whining! I don't want to die! ”

"Kill, kill directly!"

Jiao Fang shouted directly, he hated his favorite concubine brother very much now, and he didn't have to cause trouble for himself.

Jiao Fang knew that his Jiao family could have it now, it was all given by His Majesty the Emperor in front of him, so he was also worried that Zhu Houzhao would anger his Jiao family because of this, so that the wealth of the Jiao family would disappear overnight, so he was more excited than Zhu Houzhao now.

At this time, there was no longer Mei Gongzi's cry outside.

Then, Jiao Fang's son Jiao Yang walked in and bowed his hand to Zhu Houzhao, Jiao Fang and others: "Son, Uncle Guo, father, Uncle Nine has been killed!" ”

Jiao Fang only looked at Zhu Houzhao: "Childe, the rebellious people have been eliminated, what do you think will happen to next?" ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but glance up at Jiao Fang, only to see that Jiao Fang's forehead was already sweating, and his hands were shaking as if he had Parkinson's disease: he couldn't help but smile for a while, thinking that he didn't seem to say that he was angry, and this Jiao Fang was so frightened, it can be seen that he is still a little deterrent to the emperor, of course, maybe this person is like this, the richer he is, the more timid he is, the more afraid he is of losing the opportunity to continue to be rich because of offending the powerful.

is also like in the dream of the Red Mansion, as soon as the officials of the Jia family are summoned in the palace, the entire Jia family is frightened and depressed, and the whole family is not at peace.

Now, this Jiao Fang must also have the same psychology, deeply afraid that he, the emperor, will be angry with his Jiao family because of this, so he is so cowardly and worried.

But in fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't come here today because he didn't want to kill people, and he didn't want to make the whole Haitian Shengyuan know that he was a person who was afraid even if Jiao Fang, the head of the cabinet, saw it, so sooner or later people would know that he was the emperor.

After all, Zhu Houzhao could guess that even the former cabinet scholars would come here, and maybe there would be some princes and ministers who would come here to have a good time.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao only said to Jiao Fang, who was still trembling on the side: "That's it, you have corrected him on the spot, what else can I say, but do you know that you are disregarding human life, he is your brother-in-law, even if it is not your brother-in-law, he committed a crime, you should hand him over to Guangdong as an envoy, whether he is dead or in prison, he should be convicted by the imperial court, you say, you have also been the first assistant, how can you still have the problems of the clan family, use lynching, and use lynching in front of me, where do you put the court and the king's law?" ”

Jiao Fang was stunned, he only thought of killing his favorite concubine brother for a while, so that Emperor Zhu Houzhao was angry, and he didn't expect that he had made a big mistake for a while, and he was busy prostrate on the ground for a while: "Old minister, old minister, old minister is guilty, old minister is stupid for a while, only angry because of the insult of the monarch's father, and he forgot the rules for a while, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"It's rare that you are loyal, sit down first, this matter is handled by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department, I am too lazy to ask", after Zhu Houzhao said, Jiao Fang sat down tremblingly, and here, Zhang Heling was also busy asking the attendant to make Jiao Fang a cup of tea.

Jiao Fang didn't dare to drink or speak, and she was still a little uneasy in her heart.

Zhu Houzhao didn't speak, the whole private room was very quiet, only all kinds of coquettish sounds came from outside, which made people think about it.

"That seems to be Huang Shilang, Xiangcheng Bo Li Zhang is also there, and Chang Shaoqing, uncle, in your Shengyuan, there are a lot of powerful people in the dynasty", Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say.

"Your Majesty smiled, ordinary people can't afford to play and can't get in," Zhang Heling replied truthfully.

"Hmph, a few days ago, the old Shangshu Han Wen who has been Zhishi went to Dao Shu to me, saying that if today's public marquis and eunuch's house, arrogance and lewdness are ten times better than in the past, spending money like dirt, pursuing pleasure, not studying or pursuing merit, only looking for flowers and willows, fighting cocks and horses, therefore, it is recommended that the discipline is correct, and it is strictly forbidden for public officials and eunuchs to seek pleasure, and now it seems that what our old minister of science Han Shangshu said is true!"

Zhu Houzhao is indeed worried about this now, with the opening of the sea after the foreign trade activities become more and more frequent, and the Ming Dynasty, as a self-sufficient super empire with highly developed handicrafts and agriculture, will naturally be in a surplus position in trade, which will also lead to the Ming aristocracy becoming richer and richer, but once these Ming aristocratic class become richer and richer, they will only pursue more and more enjoyment, and reduce the enthusiasm for production and investment in industry.

Especially in the future, the sale of public bonds and even stocks and other financial activities will make it easier for the Ming to get more wealth, and it will also make them more pursuit of pleasure, and as a result, it will lead to a decline in the power of the Ming Dynasty to develop production.

This is human nature, once you have a lot of wealth, especially if you can easily obtain a lot of wealth, it is difficult for people to spur themselves to improve themselves.

Even Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, is the same, he also thinks many times that it is better to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's current highly developed social and economic situation to be a promiscuous king, anyway, people's life expectancy is only a few decades or a hundred years, since he already has wealth, why work hard for this country and other people in this country, after all, if the life ends in the future, everything will turn into nothingness.

But Zhu Houzhao knew that if he indulged himself in this way, the nobles of his empire would let the entire empire turn from prosperity to decline, and then he would live up to his responsibility as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao did not want these emperors and the bureaucratic capitalists of his Ming Empire, that is, the nobles, to sink because they had gained countless wealth.

Because of this, he now suddenly found that he really needs to use physical science, after all, the reason of heaven destroys people's desires, and it is also beneficial to the society of the Ming Dynasty to ask these magnates to cultivate their self-cultivation, and it is no wonder that Xia Yan, Zhang Xuan and other ministers will have such a political concept as the body of science and holy science as the use.

But what Zhu Houzhao didn't know was that although science has the concept of requiring people to deny themselves and repentance, people's desires are not so easy to control.

After Zhu Houzhao suddenly mentioned the recital of Han Wen, a veteran minister of science, he saw a familiar figure lying on a woman's jade back on the opposite window to do piston exercises, and that person was Han Wen, a famous minister of science and a former head of the household.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Zhang Heling: "What's going on, why is Han Laoshangshu here." ”

Zhang Heling saw that Emperor Zhu Houzhao's face was terrifyingly dark, and it was not easy to say that Han Laoshangshu was a frequent visitor here, so he had to sneer and say: "There are some Qingqi who are quite literate in literature and art, all of them are taught by experienced mothers in Yangzhou who are invited by the ministers, among them, there is a jade love, who is a confidant of Han Laoshangshu, and they must just think that this Guangdong is hot, so they will talk to each other in wide clothes!" Han Lao Shangshu is a person of good moral character, so he is naturally not ashamed of Fengyue. ”

"That's it! I'm not a three-year-old! Don't lie to me, if you talk about each other in wide clothes, why stick them together and pass on Han Lao Shangshu! ”

Zhu Houzhao was thinking about whether to revive the Korean language to correct the extravagant atmosphere in the world, but he didn't expect that even the so-called gentleman of science was a sanctimonious person, and he couldn't control his third leg, so he also started to do that thing in this southern country.

For a while, Han Wen came to Zhu Houzhao step by step, and bowed to Zhu Houzhao with a snort: "The old minister has seen Your Majesty, but I don't know that Your Majesty is here, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" ”

"Alright, Old Shangshu, what are you doing in the attic opposite?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister and Brother Yu are talking about learning, and just now they talked about the subset of scriptures and history from poetry and songs," Han Lao Shangshu replied.

"Then what is the talent of this jade brother you are talking about?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"Your Majesty, it's not a secret, this jade brother's talent can be described as a rich man, and she especially has her own unique insights in the study of Song history!" Han Lao Shangshu replied.

"Go and pass on the jade brother in Han Laoshangshu's mouth, I want to see how talented she is!" Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but laugh angrily.

For a while.

There was a loose bun, the clothes were half-open, the bandeau was only hung on one side of the fragrant shoulder, and the other side showed a trace of snow white, weaker than Xizi, and the woman who was sable was brought in, and as soon as the woman came in, she owed Zhu Houzhao first.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao only gave Jiao Fang a look, Jiao Fang understood what Zhu Houzhao meant, so he asked on behalf of Zhu Houzhao: "I heard Han Laoshangshu say, you are rich in five cars, and you are extremely interested in the history of the Song Dynasty, let me ask you, what do you think about the dispute between friends after Xining?" ”

This woman Yuai only picked up a pair of peach blossom eyes and glanced at Jiao Fang, and then glanced at Han Lao Shangshu: "I don't know the concubine, and the concubine doesn't know what kind of Shangshu Han is, but I don't know why the masters called the concubines to come?" ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and motioned for Jiao Fang to let the woman step back.

Jiao Fang understood and asked people to take the woman down.

Immediately, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to Han Laoshangshu: "Han Laoshangshu, you are still really good at making it up, people say that the young man is Muse, but I didn't expect that the old age is the same, of course, it stands to reason, this is nothing, but why do you deceive me, however, I also want to ask, you have advised the court to correct the atmosphere before, but why did you bring this atmosphere to the first place?" ”

"Old minister, old minister, old minister is guilty!"

Han Laoshangshu said suddenly: "But the old minister and Yu Ai are the result of true love, Your Majesty!" The old minister is willing to divorce his wife for Yu Ai, tie the knot with her, and ask Your Majesty to be the master! ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Houzhao snorted, left here directly, and said: "There are really few of these ministers and eunuchs who are really clean, and they are really boring!" The decree was that Han Laoshangshu had a loss of personal morality, and he was unbearable to be a minister in the world, degraded to the people, and sent it to the Imperial Maritime Trade Company for use, or he could play a role in teaching the Chinese language of the Indian natives in the future! ”
