These words were extremely treasonous.
The replacement of the throne was often accompanied by bloodshed, and countless bones were piled up under the high and mighty throne.
However, those who sat on the throne often did not want their descendants to have their hands stained with the blood of their loved ones.
Not to mention Zhu Di?
Staring intently at Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Di stood up instinctively and scolded," Impossible! The Crown Prince was soft-hearted and would never harm his brother.”
"Zhan Ji and Zhan Jue have always had a good relationship.”
Although Zhu Di was already old, his aura was still shocking. When he revealed his anger, it was even more terrifying.
If ordinary officials were here, they would have been so frightened by Zhu Di's angry appearance that they would have knelt on the ground.
But Yao Guangxiao was obviously not an ordinary person.
Yao Guangxiao, who dared to say such words, was not afraid of Zhu Di's anger. His expression did not even change.
"If we are really forced to the last step, can Your Majesty guarantee that the Crown Prince will not make a move?”
"Although the Crown Prince is weak and values kinship, there is probably no kinship between the Han King and the Crown Prince.”
"In order to protect the Crown Prince's family, the Crown Prince must secure his position no matter what.”
"The Crown Prince is indeed weak, but he is not stupid. If the King of Han really ascends to the throne, will they survive?”
"As for the eldest grandson and the fifth grandson, they are just two young men. When His Majesty was young, he had a good relationship with his other brothers.”
Yao Guangxiao's words stunned Zhu Di once again.
He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that he had nowhere to refute.
The smile on Yao Guangxiao's face never faded. He said lightly,""Since ancient times, there has been no mercy for the imperial family."
Yao Guangxiao didn't continue to stay after he said that.
He crossed the threshold and left.
Zhu Di sat in front of the Buddha statue, still holding the pot in his hand. He looked up at the solemn Golden Buddha statue, his eyes empty.
Didn't Zhu Di understand?
He understood.
Zhu Di knew what Yao Guangxiao said. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to worship Buddha today because of the changes in Zhan He these days.
Ming Chengzu was known as the 'Riding Emperor' and was decisive in killing.
Such a person naturally wouldn't believe in gods and buddhas.
Zhu Di was able to sit here today because he was born into an imperial family. He knew the piles of bones under the throne. He had no choice but to pick up the pot.
Zhu Di's hand moved slightly, and a bamboo stick fell from the pot.
On it was written "middle and lower lot".
At this moment.
Department of Education.
Although it wasn't as noisy as yesterday, there were still quite a number of merchants present. The servants beside them were carrying boxes of tax money.
After all, this was the capital of Ming Dynasty, and there were quite a lot of merchants here.
There were also some ordinary wealthy merchants who were more cautious. After the imperial edict was issued yesterday, they specially watched for a day.
At this moment.
A commotion came from the entrance of the Department of Education.
Xia Yuanji, who was still guarding the Department of Education, frowned and quickly walked out.
A group of people gathered at the entrance of the Department of Education.
They were all men in their prime. They wore coarse clothes and short brown clothes. Their skin was rough and dark. They were obviously ordinary people who worked all year round.
There were about thirty people, each of them with anger on their faces, surrounding the entrance of the Department of Education tightly.
"Who is causing trouble!" Xia Yuanji raised his eyebrows and shouted.
The people at the entrance of the Department of Education immediately looked at Xia Yuanji.
The thirty or so commoners immediately shouted.
"It's an official, an official who collects taxes!"
"We just want to ask why His Majesty suddenly raised the business tax!”
"That's right! Wasn't the matter of taxation decided during the Taizu era? Why did His Majesty increase the business tax for no reason?”
"Is it you people who are slandering me? Otherwise, why would His Majesty suddenly go against the rules set by the Great Ancestor?”
"I have to give you an explanation!"
The group of people shouted as they rushed towards Xia Yuanji.
The guards of the Department of Education hurriedly stopped this group of people and stood in front of Xia Yuanji.
The guards groaned in their hearts. If Lord Xia was injured, they would not be able to protect him well.
However, these commoners were used to doing hard work and were especially strong. They were not inferior to martial artists like them.
In addition, the Department of Discipline Inspection was a small place. Usually, there were only a few guards, and the rest were all weak officials.
Thirty commoners rushed up at once. It was really a little scary.
Xia Yuanji couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Raising the merchant tax is only for merchants. What does it have to do with you?”Xia Yuanji scolded coldly.
"We don't need to pay, but by doing this, aren't you trying to raise the status of those landowners and wealthy businessmen?”
"Which of us farmers hasn't been persecuted by these dog merchants?”
"That's right! "Moreover, the Great Ancestor has already decided on this tax. He can change it just like that. If we can raise the business tax today, who knows if he will make us pay tomorrow!”
Xia Yuanji understood what was going on from the shouts of these people.
These were all farmers.
He tried to comfort her." His Majesty has never planned to increase the agricultural tax burden.”
However, these commoners did not buy it.
"Who knows if what you said is true or false.”
"We have to get an explanation!"
"Those rich merchants who persecuted us are inside! We must teach them a lesson!"
The 30 commoners gathered together and were about to charge inside.
The guards and minor officials of the Department of Public Affairs came out one after another and blocked the door, not allowing them to enter.
"Nonsense! This is the official territory!"
"Everyone, retreat!"
"Unfilial! How audacious!"
The two sides pushed each other, and the scene was chaotic for a moment.
Xia Yuanji's breathing was a little hurried. He pulled a small official and hurriedly ordered," Quick, quickly get the people from the yamen to come over!”
"Yes, yes, I'll go now!"
The small official ran to the government office in the capital.
"You guys are simply messing around! How dare the Son of Heaven be so bold!"
"You're breaking the law! Hurry up and leave!"
Xia Yuanji glared at the troublemaking commoners.
Two people suddenly bent down to pick up the stones on the ground and threw them at Xia Yuanji's head!
Instantly!
Two gashes appeared on Xia Yuanji's forehead!
Blood flowed down from his forehead, making him look very scary.
"Lord Xia!"
"Hurry up! Protect Lord Xia!"
When the guards and minor officials of the Department of Discipline Inspection saw that Xia Yuanji was injured, they instantly panicked.
The noise at the door became louder and louder. The wealthy merchants who were originally not very clear about the situation inside also heard the scolding of the troublemakers.
"Those rich merchants are inside! Let's charge in!"
"These people are all in cahoots!"
"Dog official! Dog Merchant! They were already rich to begin with. Now that they have power, how can we still live!”
"Charge in!"
The faces of the wealthy merchants in the Department of Education instantly turned pale.
Although they had also brought some servants and servants, they were only here to pay taxes. They did not bring many people, and they did not know martial arts.
