"Your Majesty the Emperor, Wan An!"

In the Golden Palace, the envoys of several countries rushed in, stood in a row side by side, and performed the etiquette of their respective countries to Emperor Yongxing.

Emperor Yongxing frowned, and the ministers also frowned.

Everyone was wondering, what are they doing here?

Zhou Mi glanced at the envoys of several countries, and then looked at Chen Chao beside him.

Seeing Chen Chao's relaxed and indifferent face, he knew that he had lost.

After that, it was as Chen Chao expected...... The envoys of several countries carried dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, which amounted to hundreds of thousands of taels, although these deposits were less than a few hundredths of the deficit in the treasury, but when Emperor Yongxing saw those large orders for distilled spirits, he was speechless for a while.

It's a long-term deal!

That's a huge amount!

It's unimaginably big.

"You can also take a look...... Emperor Yongxing held his forehead helplessly, and let the eunuch show the order in his hand to the ministers.

Qin Xiangru snatched the order from the little eunuch, took a cursory glance, and laughed.

Heaven will not kill me!

Heaven is immortal!

The ministers scrambled to see this order, and they couldn't close their mouths in surprise by the numbers on it.

Before everyone could recover from the shock, a little eunuch suddenly panicked and broke into the Golden Palace.

He pouted, knelt in the temple, and stammered:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a large number of people suddenly gathered outside the Mingde Gate, there were tens of thousands of people, and they were armed with sticks, intending to be unfavorable to the capital."

"What?"

Emperor Yongxing took the case, and he was terrified for a while.

……

……

"What are they doing? Attempting rebellion? ”

"It doesn't look like it, how can there be a crowd to rebel, and you don't even have a decent weapon in your hand? It looks like all of them are ordinary people, and they seem to have come from Qingshan County. ”

On the castle tower.

Several officers and soldiers guarding the city looked at the crowds of people under the city, and the people in the dark were talking about each other.

I haven't seen this scene in years.

Gyeongseong is the center of power in Daeki, the land of Gyeonggi!

The defense is the tightest in the Chronicle.

They had never seen so many people gather outside the capital with sticks in hand.

Looks like it's going to rebel!

But it's not like it, it's like a city besieged by outcasts.

After a short time, the general at the city gate received the order from the palace and shouted loudly, "Wait and leave quickly, if not, you will be punished for treason!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the city panicked and began to riot.

Among the tens of thousands of people, the two leading people glanced at each other and took a step forward at the same time.

Wang Xiaoer tilted his head and forcibly held back the trembling of his legs:

"Official, we are the citizens of Qingshan County, please be accommodating, we will go into the city to meet Your Majesty and the princes of the court!"

"What?"

"Avenge the Prime Minister!"

After about two quarters of an hour, the closed gates of the city "roared" open.

The general on the city gate appeared at the city gate, and beside him, there was a senior official in a crimson robe.

Looking at his panting appearance, Xu had just arrived here from Miyagi.

"You two, follow this official into the palace to face the saint!"

On the way into the palace, Wang Xiaoer and Xu Laohan, the owner of the tea stall, only felt that this big official was very noisy, and said some cumbersome rules for entering the palace, such as, "Look less and talk less, walk with your head down, see people kneel and worship, and don't get up without an edict".

But looking at the crimson official robe on his body, it seems that he has seen it somewhere.

Oh, remembered.

The big fat man of Tobe Shangshu also wore the same piece.

In other words, this old minister who looks like a literary crepe is also a book!

At the gate of the palace city, looking at the majestic and solemn Forbidden City, the two countrymen swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It's so high!

It's spectacular!

Following the Ministry of Rites Shangshu into the palace, the two of them waited outside the palace, waiting for a while, and the voice of the old eunuch duck sounded:

"Xuan, Qingshan County Minjin Palace!"

The two of them bowed their heads, raised their legs, and stepped over the high threshold.

The solemn and solemn atmosphere in the golden hall made the legs and feet of the two not obey the call, and began to swing left and right, and the legs were soft.

In the short distance in between, the two of them fell several times, causing a burst of laughter from hundreds of officials.

"See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

Wang Xiaoer and Xu Laohan both fell to their knees, not daring to raise their heads.

"Flat!"

Hearing the emperor speak, the two of them got up, Wang Xiaoer didn't dare to look up at the emperor, but he caught a glimpse of not far away.

Dressed in a purple robe, he sat on a chair and looked at himself with a smile on his face.

Eldest brother?

Wang Xiaoer grinned, and was pleasantly surprised when he saw Chen Chao.

Chen Chao waved his hand to Wang Xiaoer, asking him to listen to the emperor's speech first, the two of them have more opportunities to speak, and they don't care about this moment.

Only then did Wang Xiaoer restrain his mind and listen carefully to Emperor Yongxing's speech.

Emperor Yongxing on the dragon chair glanced at the two people under the stairs and said in a deep voice:

"As a citizen of Qingshan County, why don't you stay in Qingshan County to rebuild your homeland and gather people to hike to the capital? You know, this is a great sin of rebellion! ”

The two were so frightened that they fell to their knees with a "poof", and their foreheads touched the ground.

Wang Xiaoer was bold and said in a muffled voice: "Return, return to Your Majesty, we are not intentional, and we will never rebel, we are the citizens of Qingshan County, and we came to the capital on foot just to avenge the prime minister!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is wronged, please ask Your Majesty to investigate!"

Xu Laohan also hurriedly kowtowed, "The prime minister is wronged, please ask Your Majesty to investigate, investigate!" ”

"Oh?"

Emperor Yongxing was puzzled, glanced at Chen Chao, and sighed in his heart:

What a good means!

I even left this hand!

If Chen Chao knew Emperor Yongxing's thoughts, he would definitely shout in his heart that he was wronged, this matter was not arranged by me, I don't know.

"Since you say that the prime minister was wronged, what is the evidence?" An official stepped forward and asked.

The two glanced at each other, and finally Wang Xiaoer spoke first:

"Your Majesty, my lords, the Prime Minister is wronged, it is absolutely true, as for the evidence, I have no ...... My name is Wang Xiaoer, I am a person from Hecun Town, Qingshan County, a total of four people in my family, before the snowstorm, my family was poor jingling, I ate the last meal without the next meal, and the two dolls almost starved to death, but the prime minister came to relieve the disaster, he not only gave our family food, but also paid me wages, and afterwards also gave my family a set of three big houses in Qingshan County. I only know that the prime minister is really good for us poor people, and the prime minister is the great benefactor of my family, and even more so the great benefactor of all the people in Qingshan County. ”

Emperor Yongxing twisted his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Then do you know that everything you have now was given to you by the prime minister from the treasury?" ”

Wang Xiaoer raised his head, a little confused.

But soon, Wang Xiaoer shook his head violently, with a resolute expression.

"No, no, no, the Prime Minister once said, these are what I deserve, I work hard every day, never slack off a day, I only sleep two hours a day in the past few months, and I am all on the construction site for the rest of the time, the Prime Minister said, I have done a lot of work, these are what I have exchanged for countless sweats."

"Swapped?"

"Yes."

Wang Xiaoer nodded again and again.

He was afraid that Emperor Yongxing would not believe it, so he stripped naked in public.

His body was covered with bruises and wounds, new wounds and old wounds, which were shocking.

Some are smashed by moving bricks, some are accidentally dropped from a height, and more are caused by small bumps.

Seeing these scars, Chen Chao, who was sitting in the chair, felt a little heavy in his heart.

In the world, it is these ordinary people who should be put in the emperor's heart the most.

However, when did Emperor Yongxing put them in his heart?

Xu Laohan is old and has seen some of the world, and the way he speaks is completely different from Wang Xiaoer, he said:

"Your Majesty will investigate clearly, and all the princes will investigate clearly! Prime Minister, he is just for us ordinary people, His Majesty lives in the palace all the year round, do you know how many years can those thatched houses outside the city live? It rained heavily outside, it rained lightly inside, and when the wind blew casually, the roof was swept away, and the prime minister built houses for us, gave us food, and gave us a chance to live, and the grass people did not understand why such a good official was impeached? I don't understand. ”

"The Prime Minister should not be impeached, His Majesty should trust the Prime Minister!"

After shouting, Xu Laohan knelt down and bowed.

"Dare to distract the people! What a nonsense! "Some officials jumped out and angrily reprimanded and wanted to show themselves.

But he was frightened back by Chen Chao's look.

Chen Chao got up from the chair, walked up to Wang Xiaoer and Xu Laohan, and in full view of everyone, bent down to support their arms and asked them to get up.

Lost!

Zhou Mi sighed again.

Lost!

Baiguan stroked his sleeves and said helplessly.

Lost!

Yongxing Emperor ...... With red eyes, he suppressed the anger in his chest.
