Tyrant Zhao was scolded.

The dignified chief of the criminal department was scolded by an old man for a bloody squirt!

But he didn't dare to fight back, so he was scolded for a long time.

The old man hadn't scolded people so happily for a long time, so he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping for a while.

"Hmph, looking at your posture, you should be from a rich family, right?"

The old man glanced at the two guards beside Storm Zhao, and his face was even more ugly.

"You dignitaries, you are not afraid of the cold, anyway, you have the money to buy charcoal!"

"But what about us ordinary people? That charcoal costs 600 wen a load, and it won't burn for a few days, can we afford it? ”

Hearing this, Storm Zhao's expression froze.

"After this winter, not only the price of charcoal has skyrocketed, but even the price of firewood has continued to rise, and we little people really can't bear it!"

The white-haired old man sighed.

"Why do you think this anthracite can explode, so many people are queuing up to buy it?"

"Why?" Tyrant Zhao asked subconsciously.

"Because this anthracite is cheap and resistant to burning!"

The old man explained very sincerely: "For us ordinary people, cheap and burn-resistant is the best."

"If this anthracite is really as resistant to burning as they say, we won't have to starve and freeze this winter, and I don't know how many people will be saved!"

"The righteousness of the Yan Wangfu!"

Hearing this, Storm Zhao's face turned pale.

Now it is no longer a question of whether this anthracite is good or not, but the hearts of the entire northern civilians have completely fallen to Zhu Di, the king of Yan!

That's not a good thing!

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, were there really people who froze to death in the past?"

"Huh!" The old man sneered, "No? How not? How can anyone not freeze to death in this cold weather? ”

"Last year, there was no anthracite, charcoal could not be bought, firewood could not be bought, and several people froze to death in the old Wang family next door to me, which was really miserable, and there was a half-old child who was frozen to death at home, and I don't know whether he was frozen to death or starved to death!"

As soon as these words came out, Storm Zhao was stunned.

Frozen to death and starved to death!

And there are children in there!

How so?

Isn't the Ming Dynasty a peaceful and prosperous era?

Why such human tragedy?

And those local officials have never reported it?

"Old man, why don't you ask the government for help?"

Storm Zhao asked what he was most concerned about, since the people couldn't survive in the cold winter, why didn't they ask the government for help?

But something he didn't expect happened.

When the white-haired old man heard his question, he seemed to have heard a big joke, and he couldn't stop laughing, and even laughed out of tears.

"Hahaha......"

"Ask the government for help?"

"How dare you think and say it!"

"Who do you think you are, and why do those old men bother with you?"

"We, the little people, every cold winter is the most difficult, a total of so much money, buy firewood and charcoal fire for heating, there is no money to buy food, buy food to fill the stomach, there is no money to buy firewood and charcoal, can only starve and freeze, who cares about our life and death?"

"If it weren't for the righteousness of Lord Yan this year, he sold us this anthracite coal at a low price, I don't know how many people would freeze to death and starve to death!"

The white-haired old man left with a sigh, leaving Tyrant Zhao alone stunned.

Storm Zhao's face was difficult to see, and he was even a little unsteady on his feet.

Every word that the white-haired old man said was like a sharp blade piercing his heart!

He's the chief secretary of the Criminal Department!

That loyal minister and pure minister who is dedicated to the country and the people!

But in the eyes of the common people, what did these dignitaries do?

did nothing, let the people starve and freeze in the cold winter, and let the people struggle to survive in the ice and snow!

But no one knows!

From the new emperor Zhu Yunwen to the sword and pen officials above the court, everyone was immersed in the false peace and prosperity, and they were complacent and complacent!

How ridiculous!

Wasn't he one of these people at one time?

But this white-haired old man directly tore the fig leaf of this so-called prosperous era, allowing him to see the difficult life of ordinary people with his own eyes!

Some people were frozen to death because they had no warm clothes, no charcoal and firewood for heating, and they couldn't eat enough!

There are old people, women, and even children!

But what is the new emperor Zhu Yunwen doing?

What is his Xiucai court doing at the moment?

I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor, who loves the people like a son on the surface, is hiding in the warm warm pavilion with Qi Huangfang and other henchmen at this moment, pointing out the country and plotting to cut the domain!

Storm Zhao knows the new emperor Zhu Yunwen too well!

So much so that he is now a little desperate!

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is eloquent and strategic, and regards the people as parents and children!

But the new emperor Zhu Yunwen was indecisive, still immersed in the false prosperity that the Jiangnan gentry had woven for him, and he didn't realize it!

Oh my God!

Could it be that Emperor Taizu Gao's choice back then was really wrong?

Tyranny Zhao was in a trance, and kept muttering to himself.

"The will of the people!"

"What the people want!"

"No, you must stop the emperor!"

"He really can't be wrong anymore!"

Storm Zhao woke up suddenly, and immediately rushed back to the inn, found a pen and paper to write down the matter.

He didn't use any flowery words, but wrote down everything he saw and heard today, as well as his conversations with the white-haired old man.

He hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would be able to repent and reflect in time after seeing the difficult life of the people at the bottom, and be able to help the people of the world through this cold winter!

He hopes that the new emperor Zhu Yunwen can truly love the people like a son!

Suddenly, Storm Zhao remembered Su Yang again.

Among Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen, Su Yang, the child, is obviously more inclined to Zhu Di.

Even if he doesn't know that Zhu Di is his father-in-law, Su Yang is confident that Zhu Di will be more suitable for that position than Zhu Yunwen!

Why is that?

Is this anthracite related to Suyang?

Could it be that Su Yang, the child, really made up his mind to support Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to rebel?

As soon as he thought of this, Tyrant Zhao suddenly felt like a numb.

He knows Su Yang's ability too well, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a "peerless genius"!

If Su Yang really chooses to assist Zhu Di, the king of Yan, then how should he deal with himself?

Storm Zhao recalled the second bet Su Yang made with him, and his expression was suddenly solemn.

With the help of this anthracite, the Yanwang Mansion won the hearts of the northern people.

Then they are afraid that they may really open a warehouse and release grain, and completely raise the prestige of Yan King Zhu Di to a new level!

The court doesn't care, but Yan Wangfu has always been kind to the people, what will the people think, what will the people think, what will the people think?

I'm afraid that at that time, the entire Beiping will only recognize Zhu Di, the king of Yan!

And he not only lost again, but also lost completely!

Because the new emperor to whom he is loyal is Zhu Yunwen, he will completely lose the hearts of the northern people!

It's not just him who is defeated!

and the new emperor Zhu Yunwen, who sits on the world!
