It's just that Zhu Jie and Li Yan had just relaxed a little, and the little eunuch hurriedly ran in.

"Your Majesty, Tong Haicheng, a waiter from the Ministry of Commerce, has asked for an audience, and there is something important to report!"

"Tong Haicheng?"

Zhu Jie frowned and replied, "Let him in!" ”

After a short time, Tong Haicheng hurriedly walked in, knelt down and saluted.

"Tong Aiqing, what is the matter of entering the palace at this moment?"

Zhu Jie asked lightly.

Tong Haicheng knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister participated in the impeachment of the British Duke Zhang Shize, and the minister opened a mine in Xishan on the outskirts of Beijing, and suddenly encountered the British Duke Zhang Broad and led the courtyard slaves to make trouble, killing one of the craftsmen who opened the mine, injuring thirteen people, destroying a coal mine facility, and even the newly installed drainage steam engine was destroyed by the British public. ”

Zhu Jie's face changed slightly, and Li Yan on the side also turned solemn.

British Duke Zhang Shize, maybe Zhang Shize is not so important to the imperial court, but the name of the British Duke is too big, it can be said that the Ming Empire has been founded for nearly three hundred years, and there are countless ministers, but if the most influential and powerful is undoubtedly the British Duke, since the ancestor Jing Nan, the ancestor of the British Duke Zhang Yu was awarded the British Duke, it has been more than eight generations, almost every generation has outstanding figures, and the British Duke is two hundred years old, mastering the forbidden army in the capital, which is the first confidant of the Ming Emperor, He was also the first of the Lords.

Zhang Shize's grandfather Zhang Weixian is even more meritorious, if it weren't for Zhang Weixian who withstood Wei Zhongxian's nonsense, he forcibly pushed Chongzhen to the throne, I am afraid that Queen Yi'an and Emperor Chongzhen alone can't really calculate Wei Zhongxian, it can be said that Zhang Weixian is the first hero of Chongzhen's accession to the throne, the Zhang family's status and prestige in the court and the opposition is too high, whether it is Zhu Jie who was born out of thin air, or Zhu Jie who later ascended the throne, no matter how Zhu Jie tosses, the Zhang family adheres to the ancestral teachings, never turns Zhu Jie upside down, and never fights for power, After Zhu Jie ascended the throne, he respected the British government very much, which is the totem of the existing noble group, as long as they don't make trouble, Zhu Jie can't provoke them.

Now it's okay, today the British public Zhang Shize actually jumped out by himself, attacking the officials sent by the Ministry of Commerce, and obstructing the mining of mines.

"Tong Haicheng, what's going on? Even if the British Duke is confused, how can he obstruct the imperial court for no reason? ”

Zhu Jie shouted.

Tong Haicheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "This, this minister also doesn't know, but, no matter what, the British princess is openly making trouble and confronting the imperial court, this is undoubted, and please ask the emperor to be able to uphold justice!" ”

"Justice?"

Zhu Jie was almost angry, you Tong Haicheng didn't understand the situation, so you came to me to sue the emperor, did your brain get into the water? This involves the first duke of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, you said that you can take it?

"Your Majesty?"

Li Yan said in a low voice: "Although the British prince does not have much talent compared with his ancestors, he has a good heart, and he has never liked to cause trouble, and his reputation is good in the capital, how can he suddenly bring people to make trouble?" ”

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied: "I also have to find out, come to someone, pass the decree, immediately summon the British Duke into the palace, I have something to inquire!" ”

Liu Sili on the side hurriedly agreed, ready to go out of the palace to announce the decree, but before he walked out of the Qianqing Palace, someone outside the palace gate reported that the British Duke Zhang Shize asked for an audience at the palace gate!

Good fellow, the will has not yet been spread, and the people themselves have come to the door.

Zhu Jieden understood, but I was afraid that the matter was not as simple as Tong Haicheng said, otherwise, after Zhang Shize would not make trouble, he would go straight to the palace to see the driver, what is the hidden secret, and only after asking can we know......

"Spread the English Duke to the palace!"

Soon, the British Duke Zhang Shize entered the Qianqing Palace angrily, without even bowing down, his eyes looked directly at Zhu Jie!

"Your Majesty! If you don't know anything, please pope it! ”

Zhang Shize said angrily.

Zhu Jie frowned and replied, "British duke, if there is anything, just talk about it, and I will listen to it." ”

Zhang Shize shouted: "Your Majesty, since the emperor ascended the throne, the minister can do misdeeds, can the minister be a traitor or even commit a disorder?" ”

"Nope!"

Zhu Jie was stunned and said, "What does the British public mean by this?" ”

"Then may I ask the emperor, since the martyrdom of Cheng Zu, for more than two hundred years, can the Zhang family have two hearts?"

Zhu Jie continued to shake his head.

Zhang Shize said angrily: "In this case, the minister asked the Pope, the imperial court opened a mine and set up a factory, and in the future it will collide with my Zhangjia Cemetery, the railroad tracks pass through the side of the cemetery, less than ten zhang away from the wall, the machine roars, the noise is endless, and even the blue bricks of the wall of the Zhangjia Cemetery have been demolished by craftsmen, and there are people who defecate in the wall and even the cemetery, blaspheming the ancestors' heroic spirits?" My Zhang family's ancestors and ancestors will be defiled under the nine springs, which makes the minister how to face the ancestors and the ancestors, even after the death of the minister in the future, he will have no shame to see the ancestors and the underground! Please give the emperor an explanation to the ministers! ”

Zhu Jie's nose was almost crooked, he finally knew what was going on, the mine was opened to the ancestral grave of others, not to mention the famous British government, even ordinary people would never be able to bear such a thing......

"Tong Haicheng!"

Zhu Jie shouted, "What the hell is going on? This is what you mean by the unprovoked troubles of the British public? What more do you want? Are you satisfied with digging up other people's ancestral graves? ”

Tong Haicheng's face turned red, and he replied: "Your Majesty, the Xishan Coal and Iron Industrial Zone set by our imperial court has been planned for a long time, covering an area of more than thirty miles, and the tomb of the British Duke is not far from the factory and mine, but the minister has definitely not intruded on the resting place of the British Duke, and the factory and mine are still two miles away from the cemetery......"

"Tong Haicheng, you shit!"

Zhang Shize was about to go crazy, ignoring the emperor's side, and scolded: "What, do you still want to reach the bottom of my British cemetery?" Two miles? The sound of your machine shook the sky, and the train passed along the tracks, which shook the ground, cut off the leylines of the cemetery, and destroyed the feng shui of the cemetery. ”

Tong Haicheng protested: "British duke, this mining and factory is agreed by the imperial court, and the lower officials are just acting on orders, since it is a national strategy, how can it abolish national justice because of one person's selfishness?" ”

"Fuck you!"

Zhang Shize jumped straight over, grabbed Tong Haicheng's collar, and punched him, anyway, the Zhang family is also a veteran general, although these generations of British dukes have not led troops to fight, but they still haven't thrown down their kung fu, this body is not comparable to a weak scholar like Tong Haicheng!
