Li Yan was not surprised at all by the news from the palace, because this was exactly what Li Yan wanted to see, otherwise what would he do with so much effort to study it?

Li Yan is not a saint, although he has received a modern education and knows the great responsibility of taking the world as a few terms, but his selfishness still inevitably grows slowly.

The people take things as the sky, and Li Yan developed salt, that is, a piece of heaven that supported the Ming Dynasty, and its internal meaning naturally does not need to be said.

Emperor Hongzhi wants to see himself, but he is just like this, and he just wants to get a quasi-letter from Li Yan's mouth.

Without delay, Li Yan changed into official clothes, asked the coachman at home to set up the horse, Li Yan got into the carriage, and slowly drove towards the palace.

On the road, the snow was clear, but you could still see the scene of the brocade guards sprinkling salt.

Lifting the carriage curtain, the corners of Li Yan's mouth moved slightly, Ming Dynasty, I, a descendant, are getting closer and closer to you......

……

…………

The carriage traveled to the gate of the imperial city, and Li Yan stopped and dismounted.

The guards guarding the gate of the palace all knew Li Yan and greeted Li Yan one after another, and Li Yan also responded one by one.

Quickly came to the inside of the palace, this time Emperor Hongzhi rarely did not wait for himself in the warm pavilion of the side hall, but very solemnly chose the Taihe Hall of the daily court.

Not only that, but even all the ministers are here.

This is also Li Yan, if it is another person, he may have to be grateful to Emperor Hongzhi, but Li Yan is Li Yan, unlike others, others may still be grateful to Dai De, Li Yan does not think so, if Emperor Hongzhi does not summon himself in the main hall today, it means that Hongzhi is too unqualified as the emperor.

When the emperor is not the master of the people, if that is really the case, Emperor Hongzhi can really go down to see the ancestors of his family now...... By the way, you can also consider whether to sell sweet potatoes.

"Minister, Li Yan has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." After Li Yan saluted, he stood aside and waited for Hongjiwen to question him.

Seeing this, Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and asked curiously, "I heard that there was heavy snow in the capital yesterday, and you ordered Jinyi Wei to clear the snow in the whole city?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi's face was not sad or happy, but his eyes were full of curiosity, staring at Li Yan, as if he wanted to see something from Li Yan's face.

Li Yan was a little uncomfortable, if he was stared at like a big girl like a flower, he could bear it, but being stared at by an old man in his thirties and forties was not too much of a good enjoyment.

"Yes." Li Yan nodded in response.

"I heard that Jinyiwei's method of clearing snow is ...... Sprinkle salt? Or table salt? Emperor Hongzhi asked again, I don't know why, and added one more sentence later.

"Yes." Li Yan's answer was even more crisp than just now.

"I heard you provided all that salt?" Emperor Hongji asked again.

"Yes." Li Yan admitted.

Hearing this, after being confirmed by Li Yan personally, Emperor Hongzhi's face changed, and he instantly became a little cold, snorted coldly, and pointed at Li Yan and shouted.

"Li Yan, do you know the preciousness of salt, do you know how many people in my Ming Dynasty have not been able to eat salt, today, you are so bold as to use salt to melt snow!"

"Even if you have the money to buy the salt, have you ever thought about the civilians who don't eat the salt? Li Yan, you are too bold! ”

Emperor Hongji said angrily.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't pretend this time, he was really angry, in Hongzhi's opinion, Li Yan's approach was undoubtedly challenging the authority of the royal family, and he just punished Shou Ninghou a few months ago, and it hasn't been long before you Li Yan came out to commit trouble again, which is simply a great insult to Hongzhi.

"Yes, the emperor is right, this Li official uses salt to melt the snow, is this just nonsense!"

"But no, it also melts the snow in the entire capital, how much salt does this need!"

"What good people can come out of the brocade guard, Li Yan is just a rich fool, how can he put the common people in the world in his eyes!"

On the words of Emperor Hongzhi, the ministers began to express their opinions, and even some people have begun to convict Li Yan, according to them, this is called the crime of tyrannical destruction of heavenly things......

Li Yan pouted imperceptibly, you dog officials, this little master was still benefiting all mankind a day ago, and today it will become a tyrannical thing in your mouth...... Shameless, shameless, shameless! The few concubines married in your family are the real tyrannical things, a group of old men who are quite old marry little girls as wives, and try to bloom old trees, I really don't know how the words courtesy, righteousness and shame are written.

He is still here today, shamelessly reprimanding himself......

Looking at Emperor Hongzhi's face, Li Yan knew that this was a misunderstanding of himself.

The ministers were furious, and Li Yan suddenly had an urge to look up to the sky and howl, and then drew his knife and fished out all these officials one by one......

"How did Your Majesty know that the salt was bought by the minister?"

Li Yan blinked his eyes and looked at Hongji.

"Isn't it?" Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, ignoring the fact that Li Yan had done so many big things for him before.

Li Yan looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a little unfriendly eyes, this is not because he is indignant, but because Hongzhi is too annoying, obviously it is not what he said.

"Nothing more?" Seeing that Li Yan didn't speak, Emperor Hongzhi thought that Li Yan was speechless, and immediately drank coldly.

"Where is the Great Han General? Take off Li Yan's official robe and put him in the prison of Dali Temple! ”

Immediately, the Han general walked in from outside and dragged Li Yan's two arms out.

"Wait!" Just when General Han was about to touch Li Yan's arm, Li Yan pushed General Han away.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to lock me up?"

"You think I'm joking?"

"I have shed blood for Daming!"

"That's not going to work either!"

Hearing this, Li Yan raised his eyebrows, took out a handful of white salt from his pocket, and looked at Hongzhi with a smile. "Hey...... What if I say that I made all this salt? Your Majesty, you want to lock me up too? ”
