Hongzhi was stunned, and chewed Zhu Houzhao's words carefully: "The only choice? Not bad! ”

Li Dongyang nodded: "The prince is reasonable, the people don't have any superfluous ideas, alas, we all treat others with ourselves, but how to judge?" ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "It's not a sentence, but a disposal!" First, the person who swallowed her wealth will be punished, and not only will the property be returned, but the person's property will also be given away. Second, the government did not participate, and let the maiden family of the Ma Tang clan expel her, anyway, there were not many people left in the Tang Wenyuan family, and the relationship with her was not much better; The in-laws built an archway for her and rewarded her for supporting her in-laws and never abandoning her. ”

Xie Qian applauded loudly: "Good! That's what it does! The prince did not let the government participate, the Confucian face was not affected, the family property was returned, and there was no need to support the in-laws and young children for prostitutes. One clan rebels, one clan admires, high! ”

The more Liu Jian thought about it, the more strange it became, how could this method reveal its evil nature? It seems to be the handiwork of King Wu? Hongji was also suspicious, and asked in surprise: "Wei'er has communicated with you?" ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "It's all the child's own idea, Brother Wei didn't tell me this!" However, Brother Wei said something that I particularly agree with. ”

"Oh? What words? Liu Jian looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile.

"What the people need is not reason, but to live well!" Zhu Houzhao remembered Hua Houwei's helpless expression at that time, and couldn't help but want to explore why Hua Houwei had experienced something to make him say such a thing?

Li Dongyang was stunned, he is a leader in the literary world, and what he cares about most in his life is natural and normal, at this moment Zhu Houzhao said such a sentence, which instantly shattered his heart defense.

Xie Qian's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Don't be reasonable, just live well?" Well said! The people of the temple do not care, the people disdain to listen to the beautiful articles, and the people do not understand the profound truth, nor do they want to listen to it. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, the people's life is originally like this, this is the subtlety of the rule of inaction! ”

Liu Jian also fell into confusion, the old man adhered to the teachings of the sages all his life, and suddenly knew that the people were indifferent to the sages, and the huge impact made him a little distraught: "The truth can't be eaten as a meal, the truth can't be eaten as a meal, alas! What has the old man done in his life? ”

Hongzhi suddenly understood why Hua Houwei was working so hard, it turned out that he was just for the people to be able to live well! couldn't help but whisper: "Wei'er, Wei'er, alas, it's a pity that he's still a child!" ”

When this sentence came out, several pavilion elders were like electric shocks, and all of them looked embarrassed. Yes, the cabinet is the highest decision-making body in the Ming Dynasty, which cabinet elder didn't fight for decades to reach the top position? Which one is not full of economic prosperity and literary brilliance? In the end, you can't stand the emotion of a six-year-old child?

When Hongzhi saw the reaction of the pavilion elders, he realized that he was speechless, and hurriedly made up for it: "The pavilion elders work hard and work hard, and they care about the daily work of the people, and I see it in my eyes!" ”

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as they came out, the elders couldn't sit still. Liu Jian was the first to stand up, his face flushed: "Your Majesty, the old minister is ashamed!" After living a lifetime, it is not as transparent as the six-year-old child of His Royal Highness, alas, the heavens are unfair, some people are destined to be born with deep eyes and insight into the nine shadows! ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "Brother Wei said that he is just an ordinary person, but he only had such an understanding after rolling in the cage in his dream and being covered with bruises." Alas, he had always been reluctant to think about that dream, but sometimes he had no intention of saying a word. When I pressed him, he wouldn't say anything, but I could see that he didn't have an easy life in that world! ”

Xie Qian looked at the scorching sun outside the hall and said slowly: "What His Highness thinks, the minister doesn't know. But His Royal Highness's heart for the country and the people is visible to the ministers. When the minister was six years old, he was still stubborn and abnormal, but now His Royal Highness is worried about the country and the people, and the minister is ashamed! ”

Li Dongyang slowly raised his head, his eyes were a little moist: "This case has been turned up, there has been such a big movement, and the spearhead is directed at His Highness, who is so calculating?" ”

Hongji's heart was full of anger, and his pupils contracted: "Who handed the fold?" ”

"Xu Qiong of the Nanjing Rite Department!"

"Humph! Ill-intentioned! Master Li, how can such an official still be in the Ministry of Rites to educate people's hearts? Hongzhi was determined to help Hua Houwei, and he was also very annoyed with Xu Qiong, naming Li Dongyang to do this, and also had the heart to beat Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly: "Xu Qiong's heart is still good, but he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, can't see the general trend of Huanghuang clearly, and tries to use his mantis arm as a car, which is indeed no longer suitable for the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." The ministers will arrange it. ”

In a few words, the fate of a dignified and second-class member is doomed, and it is no wonder that countless people are intoxicated.

Three days later, Liuke Zuo gave Wu Shan a letter to impeach Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, saying that Xu Qiong's corpse had no achievements in vegetarian meals, and that the scandal of Ma Tang's family falling into prostitution in order to support his parents was directly responsible. Hongzhi stayed in the middle and did not send it, and then the six departments gave the middle of the matter one after another, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also smelled the wind, and the left capital imperial historian Zhong followed the play, and the thirteen supervising imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was also impeached by a swarm, so far, Xu Qiong's fate has become clear, he has to beg for the old, Hongzhi approved it like lightning, and a conservative boss fell!

Nanjing's officialdom is shaken, and King Wu is-for-tat and ruthless! What about the Ministry of Rites? What about the second product? Haven't you returned to your hometown in a gloomy way? A large number of officials who were on the sidelines immediately chose to stand in line, and for a while, King Wu's mansion was full of traffic. The cement factory construction site, which had been stagnant for many days, immediately heard the wind, and no one dared to obstruct the construction, and those so-called virtuous and respected gentry and elders were no longer visible.

Hua Houwei said to Qin Hong tiredly: "Old Qin, I saw eight of them today!" What else is going on with you? Can you talk about it tomorrow? ”

Qin Hong shook his head: "No, this matter can only be decided by His Highness, and he is very anxious, one wrong step, Jiangnan can't say that the smoke is everywhere, but His Highness's great cause is difficult to move an inch!" ”

"Okay, okay, you hurry up."

"Your Highness, the industry is now initially spreading in Jiangnan, shouldn't we distribute the benefits?"

Hua Houwei's groggy head immediately sobered up, and he stared at Qin Hong: "What do you want to say?" ”

"It's not bad to be greedy, Your Highness, is it to share some profits for the Jiangnan clan? They are outnumbered, and if you give a few bones, Your Highness's steps can be a little faster. I'm not selfish, I've got enough of it. ”

Hua Houwei slowly stood up and paced back and forth in the room. "Lao Qin, you're right, you need to redistribute! Hehe, tie them up properly, help them to our chariot, and some things can be discussed. Well, three days later, Yujintang, you look at the list and arrange! ”
