"What does the Crown Princess mean?"
Qi Tai was finally moved by the way the Crown Princess cared about her family and country. She raised her head, looked at Lu, and asked aloud.
"Tomorrow, Your Majesty will definitely hold all officials accountable. Now, the only people Your Majesty loves the most are the young emperor and Wen'er."
Seeing that Qi Tai finally took the bait, the Crown Princess secretly laughed in her heart, but her face still had that sad look of concern for the country and the people.
"The little girl thinks there is no other choice but to go to Fengtian Hall with Mr. Qitai and Wen'er tomorrow to advise His Majesty not to pursue the matter any further."
"this……"
The risk of directly admonishing Zhu Yuanzhang is not low.
However, in the words of the Crown Princess, the fate of these people is the fate of the scholars in the world, and Qi Tai, as a scholar, is naturally concerned about this.
He pondered for a moment, then nodded firmly.
"Then sir, please go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow, you and Wen'er will save the world's scholars."
Seeing Qi Tai take the bait, the Crown Princess calmed down for a moment and then asked someone to invite Qi Tai down.
With Qitai's help, things finally turned around.
"Concubine, is this okay?"
After sending Qitai away, Zhu Yunwen still looked at Lu with some anxiety and asked cautiously.
"Time is running out, so that's all we can do."
Lu sighed. She only had this night, and even though her hands and eyes were open to the sky, she could find a better way.
"Wen'er, remember, no matter what your grandpa Huang says tomorrow, you will bite them to death and tie these people to the world's scholars."
As he said this, Mrs. Lu was afraid that Zhu Yunwen would be shaken tomorrow, so she looked into Zhu Yunwen's eyes with a serious face and warned him in a cold voice.
"Yunwen took note of it."
Seeing that Mrs. Lu was so serious, Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to disobey him at all, so he responded obediently.
Early the next morning, before Zhu Yuanzhang went to court, some of the civil and military ministers in the Fengtian Palace could not help but panic.
Those wealthy businessmen were driven away yesterday, and they had some information.
Of course they also knew about the account book.
The only hope now is that the little emperor's grandson is still young and has not been found.
When Zhu Yuanzhang came out and sat down on the dragon chair, facing the unruffled God of Killing, these ministers were even more panicked and sweating profusely.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Even if they kneel down to salute and want to stand up, some people are slowed down because their hands and feet are weak.
Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing, looking at the civil and military officials below with a stern face.
These people, on weekdays, are sanctimonious and brightly dressed, but each one is dirtier than the last in his heart.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, and the ministers who had ulterior motives became even more frightened.
"His Majesty……"
Sensing something strange about Zhu Yuanzhang, a minister stood up from the queue.
But just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted again by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Wen Aiqing, please go back first."
Facing the minister who stood up, Zhu Yuanzhang did not get angry, but asked him to retreat in a gentle manner.
The minister who dared to stand up at this moment must have nothing to do with this matter.
Zhu Yuanzhang's abnormal attitude made other ministers frightened.
"It's autumn now, and the air is crisp and clear. Why do we see adults sweating all over their heads?"
After another period of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly, but his tone became gentler.
It's just that the more abnormal his tone is, the more it proves the anger in his heart at this moment.
The calm before the storm, nothing more than that.
"Come here, give the adults a fan."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and a dozen palace maids came in from the palace gate carrying fans, and started to fan the Baiguan Gate.
"It's a coincidence. Why don't we feel hot? There's wind in our sleeves."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and danced his wide sleeves as he spoke.
It's just that the adults in the audience felt the biting cold wind, but they only dared to laugh awkwardly with Zhu Yuanzhang a few times.
"The breeze on these sleeves will naturally make your heart cool, but you have to wear a dark heart in your sleeves..."
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he suddenly opened his eyes angrily and glanced at the officials.
All the officials who had been laughing in embarrassment just now fell silent instantly. No one dared to face the majesty of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor.
"Wen Aiqing, did you have something to say just now?"
Seeing that all the officials were frightened by him, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the minister who was about to speak just from the corner of his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I just saw that Your Majesty didn't say a word. The dinosaur's body is ill..."
Wen Aiqing immediately knelt on the ground and hesitated for a long time before she could form a complete sentence.
He had no idea why Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry, let alone how to appease this anger.
"I'm fine."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and his tone became calm again, but none of the ministers dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Only those who think I am old have problems!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said, his anger returned and he glanced at the ministers.
After several ups and downs, the weaker ministers almost collapsed at this moment, and several of them almost fell to their knees with weak legs.
"Get up, Wen Aiqing, I know you are doing it for our own good."
He walked down the hall, personally helped Wen Aiqing up, then turned around and passed the other ministers one by one.
"Do you know why I'm so angry today?"
He walked to the back of the minister and asked slowly.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, the best educated people and the bravest generals in the world, were all unable to speak at this moment under the oppression of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Because yesterday, our good grandson found a ledger."
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, the hall fell silent for an instant.
Everyone knows what Zhu Yuanzhang hates the most, and no one dares to touch him at this time.
"You are all people who read books from sages, and you should be thinking about the people!"
He said, stretched out his hand, grabbed a minister's hand and threw it out.
The minister's hands and feet were weak and he could not stand firmly. He fell directly to the ground and did not dare to move.
From the beginning, he had noticed these ministers acting abnormally.
"Your Majesty, I am aware of my crime! Please let me go and let my family members go!"
The minister was caught out by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he didn't even have the intention to defend himself.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, what he was thinking about at this moment was to save the lives of his family.
"Don't look at him like this now, how many of you are clean?"
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored his pleas and still glared at the other ministers and scolded him sternly.
"I know that some of you are more corrupt and filthy than him!"
He kept talking, but no one among the ministers dared to speak out to argue, they just stood dumbfounded.
"At first I thought that Ming Dynasty's biggest enemy was Chen Youliang, and I destroyed Chen Youliang."
"Later, I thought that the biggest enemy was the Eighteen Tribes of the Grassland, so I sent people to chase them to the north and plow the courtyard to sweep the holes!"
