As soon as Qian Tang's words came out, the palace was in an uproar.

Faint?

This Qian Tang really dares to say it, this is the most sensitive word for every superior, this word is enough to anger every superior, and it is enough to make his head move.

Although it is outrageous for the imperial grandson to let the people burn coal for heating, it is ...... But you can't say that, you want to die!

"Old Qian, don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Sanwu hurriedly shouted, he has always respected Qian Tang very much, and he doesn't want to make trouble between the two sides because of this little thing, everything has to be discussed, at such an old age, he still acts like a hot-blooded teenager.

I didn't want Qian Tang to have a stalk in his neck, and said: "Please also ask Your Highness to take back the words of letting the people burn coal for heating, and the old minister will admit your mistake and accept the punishment!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the ministers present all looked at Zhu Xiongying, in their eyes, they also thought that Zhu Xiongying's strategy was very inappropriate, but they were not as strong as Qian Tang, they openly collided with the palace, and even fainted Jun was scolded.

Fortunately, Qian Tang is not stupid and knows how to give each other a step.

Under the gaze of the ministers, Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Old Qian, do you know how many people are in hunger and cold now? Take Jingshi as an example, the price of charcoal is higher and higher day by day, even if you can't afford to burn charcoal, let alone the people? ”

"Nowadays, on the market, the price of a pound of charcoal is thirty or forty yuan, and the lonely coal, a pound only needs to be sold for three or five dollars, which greatly reduces the heating cost of the people, once it is popularized, I don't know how many people can be saved!"

"Why should Lone withdraw this policy for the benefit of the country and the people?"

"For the benefit of the country and the people? Look at Your Highness, this is a disaster for the country and the people! ”

Qian Tang's face suddenly tensed up again: "Does Your Highness really don't know, or does you pretend not to know?" This charcoal burns poisonous! Dead people! ”

Qian Tang said, stamping his feet in a hurry.

Zhu Xiongying was not annoyed, and still said calmly: "Gu said, Lone's coal is not poisonous, you only need to ensure good ventilation, and there will be absolutely no problem!" ”

"Your Highness!"

Qian Tang stiffened his neck, his face flushed, and he said bitterly: "The cold disaster is coming, which has already made the people miserable, but His Highness not only treats them inconsiderately, but also forces them to death, which is a great misfortune for the country!" ”

"As a bachelor of Hanlin, the minister should be worried about the king, but the minister can't correct His Highness's mistakes, the minister should die!"

"If Your Highness doesn't take back his order, the minister will die here!"

As he spoke, Qian Tang slammed into the pillars of the main hall, as if he looked at death as if he were at home.

Zhan Hui hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qian Tang: "Lord Qian, why are you doing this?" ”

Zhan Hui is a shrewd person, no matter what, it is impossible for him to let Qian Tang die here.

Because in this way, it will not only make Wenhua Hall popular and cause bad luck, but also seriously affect the reputation of His Royal Highness Taisun.

Qian Tang is like this, but he just wants to force His Royal Highness Taisun to take back his fate, just like when he carried the coffin into the admonition, forcing Zhu Yuanzhang to retract his decision to move Mencius out of the temple.

Others also stepped forward one after another to dissuade Qian Tang.

The Wenhua Hall suddenly became a little noisy.

Qian Tang was sixty-eight years old, at this time he had red eyes and shouted with a crying voice: "Sage Yun, what the people are good for, what the people are evil, His Royal Highness wants to be the enemy of the people, this is a big mistake, the duty of the minister is Kuang Jun, at any time Kuang Zhengjun's words and deeds, but the minister did not do it, the minister has no face to live!" ”

"Of course, His Royal Highness has the supreme right of His Highness, but the sage training, there is no class, as a courtier, but also His Highness's teacher, His Royal Highness makes mistakes, and the courtier has an unshirkable responsibility, and the minister hopes that His Highness can become a person who is consistent with the people like Tang Yu's Shi Yao Shun, if not, Jue Lu can resign, and he can do it!"

Qian Tang spoke earnestly, with tears in his eyes.

It's the surrounding ministers who are infected by it.

In this era, a real literati has the ideal of self-cultivation and family governance to level the world, from the self-cultivation to the family, to be good to oneself, and to help the world.

There is a very intriguing record in the "History of the Ming Dynasty": "Tang was a strong person, and he tried to talk about the edict of the "Book of Yu" and spoke about it, or corrected Tang Caoye who did not know the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Tang Zhengse said: 'Present to Your Majesty with the way of the Holy Emperor, do not kneel and do not do nothing!'"

The white paper and black of the history books shake off the image of the humble sycophant and the noble intellectual to the fullest.

Therefore, in the Hongwu period, the literati were characteristic.

Qian Tang's iron courage that is not like others also infects many ministers.

"Minister, Liu Sanwu, I implore Your Highness to think twice!"

Liu Sanwu took the lead and stood up and bowed down in front of Zhu Xiongying.

"I beg your Highness to think twice!"

The other ministers followed suit and knelt down one after another.

In the face of the pleas of the ministers, Zhu Xiongying, who was on the throne, was still quiet, not angry, nor impatient, but smiled slightly: "Lone's decision is impossible to change!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they were all stunned.

The imperial grandson is really as dictatorial as ever, and the things he believes will never be changed easily.

Unless the old emperor comes out.

Therefore, the ministers have already begun to think in their hearts, how to let the old emperor come forward to stop this ridiculous thing.

"But ......"

Zhu Xiongying changed his words and continued: "If Qian Lao insists on dying, then why doesn't it make sense not to die?" ”

The ministers were stunned again.

I only heard Zhu Xiongying continue: "Didn't you say that Lone's coal is poisonous? Why don't you go back and burn the coal for one night, if you are poisoned, it can just prove that the lonely coal is poisonous, so why not do it? ”

After listening to Zhu Xiongying's words, Qian Tang did not hesitate, and immediately nodded heavily: "Okay!" ”

The other ministers were confused, seeing that the imperial grandson was so confident, could it be that he was really sure? Otherwise, how could you get along with an old minister who was about to die?

"Guo Zhen Guo Xuan, send this box of coal to Qian Lao's mansion."

"Yes!"

Guo Zhen and Guo Xuan received the order.

"Retreat!"

……

Qian Fu.

It's not so much a house as a house with a small yard.

The officials of the Hongwu Dynasty are not high.

Especially an honest and honest official like Qian Tang is actually a better life than ordinary people.

The furnishings of the house are simple, but they are very clean.

Tonight, it's even more deserted.

Because Qian Tang locked himself in the study, and told his family that no matter what happened for a while, he was not allowed to come in, and he must wait until the next morning to open the door.

The family didn't know why, and they were terrified when they heard it, but because of Qian Tang's strength, they didn't dare to disobey.

Inside the study.

Qian Tang looked at the coal in the brazier in front of him, closed his eyes, took a light breath, and couldn't help but recall that when he was fifty-four years old, he was invited by the old emperor to join the Beijing Division, explain the countermeasures of the scriptures, and discuss the way of peace, which was appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang and became the chief secretary......

What a spirit!

He also realized his ambition in the Ming Dynasty, assisting the old emperor to clean up the ruined rivers and mountains and recreate the peaceful and prosperous era.

So at this time, he died without regrets!

For the sake of the great tomorrow, he will die with more glory!

Qian Tang slowly opened his eyes, took out the fire fold and lit it, and was about to throw it into the coal pile in the brazier.

But at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

This made Qian Tang stunned, and immediately scolded: "Didn't I say it? No one can bother until tomorrow! ”

A voice came from outside the door: "It's me, Tantanon, I'm afraid that you will be lonely, so I came to drink tea and chat with you!" ”
