In the hall, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
None of the officials knew what the Emperor was going to say next.
"My country will not allow anyone to buy or sell official positions! Those who neglect their duties and are lazy in politics! There were people who were greedy for the people's wealth! Otherwise, I will make him never again!”
Zhu Houjin turned around abruptly and walked back to the throne.
Among the officials, some of them were so scared that they could not stand still. Some of them had red eyes, flushed faces, and were dizzy…
Zhu Houjiu glanced at the palace and then said a few words to the eunuch. The eunuch announced loudly,"The emperor has decreed that the court is to retreat!"
As the officials trembled in fear, Zhu Houjin walked out of the hall.
Immediately, some of the officials fell to the ground, their limbs weak.
More officials were wiping the sweat off their foreheads with their court robes. The Emperor's reprimand just now had nearly scared a few people to death.
Under the watchful eyes of the imperial censor on duty, the civil and military officials still bowed as they walked out of the hall.
Just as Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming were about to board the palanquin, the eunuch stopped them and said,"Milords, the Emperor has decreed that after the court is dismissed, the two Milords will meet at Yangxin Hall.”
At this time, the cabinet, Xu Jie, had already been ordered to measure the fertile fields in the world.
Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming were in charge of the cabinet. After hearing the eunuch's words, they looked at each other.
None of them dared to guess the emperor's will and hurriedly followed the eunuch to Yangxin Hall.
"Greetings, Emperor."
"Stand up and grant me a seat."
A few palace maids and eunuchs carried two stools over. Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming, and the others were terrified when they arrived."I dare not."
Zhu Houjin said lightly,"The two beloved ministers are my arms and legs. There's no need to be too restrained. Sit down."”
Hearing the Emperor's words, Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming finally sat down.
They didn't know why the Emperor had summoned them today, and their hearts were in turmoil.
One had to know that the Emperor had just intimidated all the officials in the throne room.
In the hearts of all the civil and military officials, the youth on the throne was not a good person.
However, the two of them realized that the current Emperor was actually very calm, and even had a little pleasant expression.
"My two beloved ministers, how has everything been recently?”Zhu Houjin asked with a smile.
All
of a sudden, the Emperor's greetings made the two of them at a loss. They wondered if the Emperor was going to raise his head first and then suppress it.
They knew that the Emperor was not someone who played his cards according to the rules.
They couldn't help but look at each other.
"This lowly subject is doing well, thanks to Your Majesty!”Yang Yiqing bowed.
"Very good, with your words, I feel at ease!”
As Zhu Houzhen spoke, he took out a scroll and handed it to the eunuch. He said,
"Chief, look at this memorial. The second assistant, Xu Jie, has been busy with this matter for the past few months."”
Chief Assistant Yang Yiqing took the memorial from the eunuch. After taking a look, his expression changed drastically!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xu Jie's memorial is wrong. That is my cousin's fertile land, not mine…"
On the memorial, the property of Yang Yiqing's family was registered.
The ancestral house had three entrances and three exits. There were 56 rooms, 2521 acres of fertile land, and a pond. There were a total of 17 people…
Yang Yiqing was born in a poor family and passed the Jinshi examination. How could he have so much fertile land?
However, Zhu Houjin knew that someone in Yang Yiqing's family had made a fortune from the paper business. But did this have anything to do with Yang Yiqing?
Yang Yiqing didn't dare to sit back down. He had already stood up. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept flowing down his forehead.
Seeing this, Zhu Houjiu smiled and said,""The chief assistant is a pillar of the empire. There is no need to be so nervous.”
Yang Yiqing's face was pale, although he had always abided by honesty, but his hometown, those places, always did everything possible to take care of the people in the family.
Of course, they weren't doing charity to take care of the people at the bottom. They were here for Yang Yiqing.
"Your Majesty, the fields in my house were bought by my cousin Yang Yigui. I don't have a single piece of land. There is evidence to investigate.”
Zhu Houyi put Xu Jie's memorial to measure Yang Yiqing aside and said,
"My dear minister, I have no intention of pursuing you. Yang Yiqing has always been incorruptible. He is famous among the people."”
The uneasy Yang Yiqing thought to himself,"Your Majesty, isn't this minister nervous? The former chief assistant, Yang Ting, and his entire family were executed
..." Zhu Houjin took out another memorial and said.
"I'm here. Wang Yangming bowed and bowed.
"Studying things to obtain knowledge, combining knowledge with action. I admire your self-restraint. There are not many records of your family property in the memorial, which is also within my expectations.”
Then, Zhu Houjin's tone changed.""However, I want to warn you not to take in too many disciples. Many of your ideas still need to be discussed. They are not universal. Do you understand what I mean?”
Wang Yangming felt as if he had been punched in the head.
He was a smart person and immediately knew what the Emperor was trying to say.
Under the heavens, the people only believed in the Emperor's thoughts.
What was he doing by recruiting disciples and spreading his knowledge?
"This lowly subject doesn't dare. This lowly subject is terrified! After I return, I will immediately dismiss all the disciples and help them. I have not thought it through. Please punish me, Your Majesty!”
