Under Liu Jin's persuasion, Zhu Houzhao's mood finally stabilized.

Liu Jin's words are very reasonable, the court has the affairs of the court, the government has the affairs of the government, how to govern the homeless beggars The court has already had a charter, and it is impossible for the emperor to personally care about this.

Qin Kan arched his hand and smiled: "The minister agrees with what Gonggong Liu said, it is his duty to perform his own duties, and if something happens, he will naturally be held responsible, His Majesty does not need to be angry, the matter will make sense in the end." ”

Hearing that Qin Kan actually agreed with his words for the first time, Liu Jin couldn't help but glance at him in surprise, his expression was quite suspicious, and he couldn't figure out what Qin Kan was calculating.

This time, Gonggong Liu really wronged Qin Kan, most of the time Qin Kan is still very reasonable, and being a man can't always be fun with pit people.

Zhu Houzhao snorted and said, "What if they don't reason with me? You know the Tao, these civil officials hold the sages and sages as swords in their hands, and they are used to rampage in the court, and whoever dares to oppose them is against the sages, and they are rebellious, and the emperor is no exception......"

After a pause, Zhu Houzhao's temper came up again, clenched his fists and said fiercely: "...... This group of dog officers! ”

Qin Kan sighed and said: "Giving an edict is not guilty of oneself is secondary, I am afraid that the ministers will make the matter bigger and bigger, I am afraid that Your Majesty's edict will still not be able to satisfy them, if Your Majesty is too cooperative, they will not be able to achieve the purpose of committing a direct edict to invite their name, and this matter is still unforgiving......

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Come on!" I'm still afraid that they won't make it? ”

"Of course Your Majesty is not afraid of them, but the Empress Dowager is afraid......" Qin Kan sighed: "Your Majesty, don't forget." In five days is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and the officials want to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday. ”

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin were stunned.

The Empress Dowager Wang is the queen of Emperor Xian, and her status in the palace is high, even Zhu Houzhao's mother, the Empress Dowager Zhang, has to bow her eyebrows in front of her, nominally, the Empress Dowager Zhang is the daughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager, and Zhu Houzhao is her grandson...... Since the death of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao has cared a lot more about family affection than before. Although the affairs of the government and state were messed up by him. But filial piety has done a good job, and in the morning and evening, he entered Cining Palace to greet the two queen mothers and talk to them to relieve their boredom.

Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly turned red, and a rare trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"This group of dog officers...... If they dare to alarm the Empress Dowager and her old man. I will destroy the three tribes! ”

Liu Jin hurriedly agreed: "The old slave is willing to teach this group of dog officials a lesson on behalf of His Majesty." ”

Qin Kan touched his nose and didn't speak.

Killing people is not the solution after all. The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were different from other dynasties. The method of killing people can only make the ministers more backlash, and the ministers of the full palace are like a group of rebellious teenagers in adolescence, the more they beat and scold and suppress. The more stubborn they become, the more stubborn they are than donkeys.

Qin Kan arched his hand towards Zhu Houzhao and said, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "I ...... Condemn yourself! ”

Liu Jin was shocked: "Your Majesty can't do it!" Doesn't this make the minister kick his nose in the face? ”

Zhu Houzhao ignored Liu Jin and turned his head to look at Qin Kan: "What do you think?" ”

Qin Kan nodded: "What Your Majesty said is very true, the edict should be issued, and the minister said bluntly, this edict is not forced by the coercion of the ministers, but for the more than thirty beggars who froze to death under the city wall, Your Majesty, the beggars are also your people." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "It's still Qin Kan, you know me best, yes, beggars are also my people, I am the emperor, and I am the monarch of the entire Ming Dynasty, I can't help them, this edict should be issued." ”

****************************************************************

Qin Kan walked out of the palace gate of the Qianqing Palace, and was stunned to find Dai Yi standing quietly outside the palace gate waiting.

Dai Yi smiled when he saw Qin Kan, hurriedly stepped forward to meet two steps, and said with a smile: "Slave maid to meet Master Hou." ”

Qin Kan pointed to the inside of the Qianqing Palace, and said, "Are you looking for Your Majesty?" Your Majesty is inside, you go in. ”

"The slave is looking for Master Hou." Dai Yi said with a smile: "As soon as the Empress Dowager's birthday is over, it will be the New Year, and the slave maid has prepared a meager New Year's gift for the Hou Ye here, and asked the Hou Ye to accept it with a smile." ”

Qin Kan said with a smile: "Father-in-law Dai, they are all members of his own family, so there is no need to be so polite." ”

A long gift slip was handed over, and Qin Kan flipped through it casually, suddenly a little surprised.

"Father-in-law Dai, do you call so many New Year's gifts 'meager'?"

"Yes, yes, the Hou Ye has seen a big scene, and the slave and maid are really not on the table, although it is meager, but it is also the slave and maid's heart for the Hou Ye."

"That's all for the meager ...... Father-in-law Dai, next time I will definitely send me a small share of long eyes. ”

Dai Yi's cheeks twitched a few times, and he said with a smile: "It must be, there must be a lot of filial piety during the Shangyuan Festival......"

Qin Kanha smiled and patted Dai Yi's shoulder: "Joke, Grandpa Dai must not be taken seriously." Seeing that Father-in-law Dai is now full of red light, and the New Year's gift he has prepared is so rich, the factory must have made a lot of money this year, right? ”

Dai Yi smiled awkwardly and said: "Don't hide it from the Marquis of Qin, the slave maid has a lot more money in hand than when he was a eunuch in the hall before, and the East Factory collects the safe silver of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion and shops in Beijing, and the majority of it is in the hands of the slave and maid, and it is not a problem to have a hundred thousand taels a year, but since the opening of the West Factory, the life of the slave and maid in the East Factory is not easy......"

Speaking of this, Dai Yi's face suddenly turned red, glanced at the Qianqing Palace resentfully, lowered his voice and said viciously: "Liu Jin, this dog is simply a wolf!" Since the reopening of the West Factory, cut off half of the miscellaneous family's financial routes, he didn't dare to find Hou Ye's Jinyiwei, but specifically looking for me to open the East Factory, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion shop in the Beijing Division, now most of them only recognize the West Factory and Jinyiwei, and don't buy the East Factory's account much, this miscellaneous is simply a soft knife to cut my meat! ”

When he looked at Qin Kan with a resentful expression, Dai Yi immediately changed his pitiful face: "Master Hou, Liu Jin is the most jealous of you in the Manchu Dynasty, you have to be the master of the slaves......"

Qin Kan smiled bitterly and said: "Gonggong Liu's power is tilted towards the opposition, how can I be your master?" ”

Dai Yi's small eyes blinked: "If Hou Ye serves a pot of Xichang, the slave and maid will definitely give Hou Ye the most generous New Year's gift in the coming year......"

Qin Kan said with a smile: "I still say the same thing, if Gonggong Dai stabs Liu Jin with a knife, I will immediately recommend you to His Majesty as the master of ceremonies......"

"Marquis Qin, please ...... first"

"Father-in-law Dai, please ...... first"

The two of them were humble for a long time, and finally felt that the other party was too undisciplined, so they changed the topic very rationally.

"Qin Hou Ye, there is something that the slave maid must have to talk to the Hou Ye, the White Lotus Sect over there in Tianjin Wei has made too much trouble, the news that the Dongchang Fanzi has sent back, this group of White Lotus Sect members not only attacked the official mansion, but also burned a small half of the official warehouse, the slave and maid sent two big stall heads to Tianjin to deal with the matter, and as a result, one died and one was seriously injured......"

Qin Kan's face suddenly became solemn. (To be continued.) )
