Emperor Hongzhi was disappointed that he didn't get the news he wanted to hear, but he had no choice but to cheer up and take out the letter about the capsizing of the ship. ”

"Yes." Xiao Jing responded, bowed down to take the report, and unfolded it and read it word by word.

The content of the recital is not long, only more than 100 words, even if Xiao Jing slows down the speech, but the time has been finished in a moment.

Emperor Hongzhi kept looking at the faces of everyone present, and then asked, "Did you hear it?" ”

"Now the major affairs of the country are only the conquest and the change of the law, but there are four people who went to Nanzhili to change the law, but the boat they were on capsized and two people drowned."

"It was an accident, but Zhu Qing thought it was an accident?"

None of the ministers present dared to answer rashly, and since the emperor had asked this question, it was clearly suspected that it was not an accident.

It's not an accident, it's man-made

Is it really artificial?

It's hard for them to say, and they don't even dare to think about it that way, but it's not impossible.

To put it mildly, the political pattern of the Ming Dynasty is like a deformed person with two heads, a capital city in the north has a set of administrative teams, and a capital city in the south still has a set of administrative teams.

It is too much to say that the north and the south are separated from Germany, but Ying Tianfu has always had a certain degree of control over the southern provinces, especially the military department and the household department there.

Nanjing's household department is even more so, the household registration and the population of the southern provinces are in their hands, and the tax revenue of the summer and autumn seasons of each year is also handled by the household department of Nanjing, and the Shuntianfu never interferes.

Since Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Shuntianfu and Nanjing became the capital of Liudu, this situation has lasted for a hundred years.

One can imagine what the situation of this southern Zhili, together with the hidden fields and hidden households in the southern provinces, should be.

Worried about being found out, worried about the East Window incident, it is not impossible to do something like a dog jumping over the wall.

Everyone had a clue in their hearts, and they all knew that it was inevitable that Emperor Hongzhi would have this suspicion.

"Your Majesty, my Daming waterway is accessible, and there are many accidents every day, either due to collisions or due to wind and waves.

Now it is the end of autumn, the west wind is cold, according to the minister's opinion, the wind and waves mentioned in this song are not empty words, the minister thinks, it should indeed be an accident. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a while, and then looked at the rest of the ministers, "The Liu Qing family thought it was an accident, but what about the rest of the Qing family?" ”

"The ministers also thought it should be an accident."

“.”

Zhu Youzhu didn't say anything more, and stared straight at these ministers.

Zhu Houzhao has not heard from him for many days, he was worried and angry at first, but now he seems to be calm, calm to an indifferent attitude, but in fact, that nerve has been tense.

Tense nerves, the slightest wind and grass will be affected by it.

He did suspect that this was man-made, and even suspected that such a thing had something to do with these ministers of the court.

After all, more than half of these ministers are southerners.

It can be seen that these ministers do not have abnormal looks, and they do not seem to be involved in this matter.

After looking at it for a long time, Emperor Hongzhi's expression gradually softened, and he was about to speak, when the sound of the eunuch trotting came from outside the hall, and at the same time shouted again: "British Gazette!" ”

Another British public recital?

Two letters a day?

Will this one be

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi didn't think about it anymore, for fear that it would be another misunderstanding.

He looked at Xiao Jing and gave him a look, Xiao Jing understood, and hurriedly went down to take the report, unfolded it and glanced at it, and his face instantly became happy, "Emperor, this letter is about His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Really?"

Zhu Youzhu almost stood up for a while, but sat back the next moment, and the joy on his face was also taken back, and he said coldly with a tense face: "Nian, give me a thought." ”

Tsundere and inconsistent looks like an old man in the midst of a cold war between husband and wife, but fortunately, he is the emperor, and no one dares to talk about his tsundere.

The ministers present were all concerned with their noses and mouths, and their ears were propped up, waiting for Xiao Jing to read the report in the throat of the male duck.

Some people are thinking, this is really unusual, it is really rare to hear three letters in a row, this afternoon is not in vain.

"Greetings Your Majesty's Saint"

is still the opening sentence of this sentence, and the next thing is the content, "The prince has been away for many days, and the ministers are worried, looking for it every day, and finally the hard work pays off."

Just listening to this beginning, Emperor Hongzhi knew that this was from Xia Yuan's hand again.

The notes written by others are not so direct, and they are generally talking about a bunch of unnutritious things in front of them, until people are tired of listening to them and getting tired of watching them, and they will start to talk about the topic, and this letter will start to talk about things as soon as they come up.

The same is true of the previous letter.

If all the officials in the world write like this, how much trouble can I save.

Somehow his thoughts drifted to the side, and Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly pulled it back, listened carefully to the content of this report, and the hand in his cuff couldn't help but clench.

Hard work pays off, that is to find, found in North Korea, that son of evil actually crossed the sea to North Korea, the sea is stormy, how about this son of evil, is he alive, still dead, or half dead.

Could it be that it was washed to the shore by the sea

Inexplicably, he remembered those documents about going to the Western Ocean, which recorded the terrible wind and waves of the sea.

The more he thought about it, the more Emperor Hongzhi's heart tightened, he wanted to know the result quickly, but he didn't dare to urge, for fear that something bad would happen to him.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was found in Gunsan Fortress at the mouth of the Baekgang River in North Korea. Your Highness is safe and sound."

Safe and sound, all of a sudden, Emperor Hongzhi felt like something had slammed to the ground in his heart, and the whole person was relaxed, but then, an uncontrollable anger surged into his heart, and he almost jumped up suddenly,

"This brute, this son of a, he is still alive, why didn't he die outside! It doesn't matter if he's not dead, or if he's not dead, so when he comes back, I can kill him with my own hands! ”

“.”

Hearing that the crown prince was safe and sound, the ministers present also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this is the prince, the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the prince has been missing for so many days, and they have been worried in their hearts.

What's more, the crown prince has no news, His Majesty has been gloomy all day, no one dares to mention this stubble, and now there is news, it is really a blessing for the country.

As for His Majesty's threat to kill the crown prince, it is impossible to kill him, but it is necessary to beat him, such a prince, so absurd, this is the second time he has run away.

If you don't fight, if you don't educate you well, what will happen when such a prince ascends to the throne in the future.
