The road construction collapsed, even if there were a series of twists and turns, but it was not passed after all.

Seeing that all the important ministers were opposed, Emperor Hongzhi had no intention of discussing it any longer, and directly announced his withdrawal from the court.

Back in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhang's face became ugly, picked up the brush on the imperial case and pinched it in his hand, pestle the table at one end, and with a force in his hand, he only heard a crisp sound of snapping, and the sandalwood pen was directly broken into two.

Xia Yuan's eyelids also jumped, it was sandalwood, and it was worth at least three hundred taels of silver when he took it out.

Of course, it doesn't matter, no matter how valuable this brush is, it's not his, it has nothing to do with him, and the emperor will fold it if he wants to.

Emperor Hongzhi, who was poor and short-minded, had always been frugal, and now he was sprinkling fire by folding a valuable brush.

The court is not only a gladiatorial arena for monarchs and ministers to discuss state affairs, but also a gladiatorial arena for monarchs and ministers.

Thousands of horses together, the court has become the emperor's hall, what the emperor said, the ministers only agreed, and called my emperor Shengming, long live long live long live.

This kind of scene will only appear under the servile constitution of the braided chao.

Those ministers are already shameless, but those ministers of the Braided Dynasty are even more shameless than them, ten thousand times! Throughout the history of mankind, there is no such shameless group of people to be found.

is proud to be a slave, and rushes to be a slave, and the wind and arrogance have long been thrown out of the clouds.

Like a group of servile pugs, wagging their tails and begging for mercy, when they get a compliment from their owner for a good dog, they are already overjoyed and can't wait to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

It was the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

And this is the Ming Dynasty, known for its wind bones, there are wind bones, but this so-called wind bones are going to the other extreme, many self-proclaimed ministers with wind bones, proud of resisting the imperial power, if they are pulled out to play the board, then they will consciously glorify their ancestors and become famous all over the world.

If he was killed by the emperor without making a mistake, he would be even more generous and would go down in history.

There is nothing wrong with such political disagreements as today, but each has its own position.

Even if Emperor Hongzhi was angry, he still didn't think about killing anyone, or pulling anyone out to hit the board.

You can only be incompetent and furious here, holding a brush to vent your anger.

With a snap, another one was broken.

Xia Yuan swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty, either this road construction matter will be stopped, or wait."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Hongzhi's gaze swept over and said sternly: "You don't have to test me here, this road must be repaired!" ”

As he spoke, he snapped a brush again.

"No. Oh, the minister was relieved. ”

“.”

Emperor Hongzhi ignored him anymore, and began to toss the brush in this cylinder again, thanks to the many brushes in this cylinder, and after folding four more brushes, his anger seems to have finally disappeared.

threw the broken pen on the imperial case, and Xiao Jing stepped forward to help clean it up, very accustomed to it.

The anger subsided, looking at the few broken pens, Zhu Youzhu began to feel sorry for the damaged brush again, and asked: "Didn't I already say earlier that the brush in this cylinder can be used as ordinary, why did you put this sandalwood brush in this cylinder?" ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly spoke: "Emperor Mingjian, this sandalwood is already an extremely ordinary brush, and it is usually a jade rod. ”

Xia Yuan smacked his lips silently, listening to this meaning, this old man is still addicted to pouting brushes.

"Give me a change and replace it with a bamboo one."

Hearing this, Gonggong Xiao was in trouble, "The emperor's status is noble, how can this imperial pen be made of this bamboo, this is not compatible."

"Give me a change!"

"Yes, the slave and maid will be exchanged."

Xiao Jing didn't dare to say more, answered, took the few broken pens and bowed out, looking for bamboo brushes.

Emperor Hongzhi sat down behind the imperial case, picked up the cup of tea and just wanted to drink it, but found that it was empty, and slammed it on the table, "Go, pour tea for me!" ”

The rest of the eunuchs in the hall trembled in fright, and then hurriedly responded, and walked out quickly.

Then, Zhu Youzhu began to chatter: "Since I ascended the throne, I have asked myself to be diligent in government and love the people, and my ancestors have put the country in my hands. Everything I think about is for my Daming society.

In their mouths, if I insist on carrying out this matter, I will be a dumb king who will work hard for the people and lose money, and will not be considerate or cherish the people's strength! ”

Xia Yuan understood, it turned out that the point of the emperor's anger was not because he was oppositioned, but because he was angry because he was not sympathetic and did not cherish the people's strength.

It's probably the kind of thing, it's okay to say something else, but I actually said that I don't care about the people's power, you fart!

Perhaps it was also because of this incident that the rebellious psychology of Emperor Hongzhi was triggered, and he was not allowed to repair, so I wanted to repair!

"Your Majesty, what these ministers said is actually not unreasonable, it does cost a lot to build roads, which is not in line with my Ming national conditions, and it is difficult for the treasury to support such a huge project."

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi's eyes sweeping over, Xia Yuan changed his words again: "Of course, this road must be repaired, but it should be done slowly, the steps are too big, it is easy to pull Oh, and it is easy to have an unstable foundation." ”

After returning from the next dynasty, Xia Yuan had actually been thinking about whether these ministers were against him as a person, or simply against this matter.

He couldn't help but think about it, he attended a total of two court meetings, and each time he became the focus of the courtiers and the object of opposition from these ministers.

In the end, I think about it, it's both, but it's more against it.

In this matter, he took it for granted, thinking that infrastructure projects such as road construction were good and would benefit the country without harm, but he ignored the most basic national conditions.

The treasury of the Ming Dynasty was so poor that even if there was silver, those ministers would not agree to such a toss.

Many ministers of the DPRK and China have a heart for the country and the people, but of course, they are selfish and want to make money for themselves.

But I also have that kind of thought: the Ming Dynasty is very large, it is a very large and magnificent building, and if you take down a brick yourself, this house will definitely not be affected.

So I was able to pick bricks from this building.

But building a road is not a matter of taking a brick at all, it is a matter of tearing down a wall, and if the walls are torn down, the house will collapse.

They had cut the bricks, but they never thought of causing the house to collapse.

So they are against it.

Zhu Youzhu snorted and said: "You are speaking for them, but now that the matter has come to this, there is no room for retreat, if you retreat, it will be the power of the ministers, and it will be difficult to show the prestige of the monarch, and it will be difficult to promote this matter in the future, I can only "

Speaking of this, the words in Emperor Hongzhi's mouth suddenly paused, looked at him deeply and asked, "Do you want to retreat?" ”
