"The capital is at the foot of the emperor, and there is still corvee service. What about the place? The prefectures in the world build city walls to clear rivers every year and transport food and grass to border towns. Isn't it all the people who work hard?"

In the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Yunqiu looked bad. The dragon robe on his body still had the stains that were just outside the city, and the boots on his feet were stained with mud and water.

All the ministers bowed and stood in front of him, and the sound of the sound of the sound was quiet, for fear of angering the emperor.

"I have repeatedly said that being an official should be compassionate and cherish the people's strength. As a result, you asked me to choose a tomb at the beginning of the year. What is the intention? No matter how well my tomb is built, what is the benefit of the world?"

"In the past, the tomb of the First Emperor is still there, which shows the prosperous Qin Dynasty? The tomb of Emperor Wu of Han is still there, which shows the Han Dynasty? How magnificent the tomb of Emperor Taizong of Tang is? The 289th year of the Tang Dynasty, it is said to be a prosperous era, but what life did the people live?"

The ministers bowed their heads and dared not speak out, and the atmosphere in the Ganqing Palace dropped to freezing point.

Zhu Yunxiu's anger remained unabashed, "Xia Yuanji, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

"I'm here!" Xia Yuanji was covered in dirt and looked frightened.

"Due to three levels, the salary will be fined for three years!" Zhu Yunxiu said hatefully, "As a senior official of the court, I will give me a memorial in the future. Think about what you can say and what you can't say. If you don't understand, you don't have to be an official!"

"I thank you for your kindness!" Xia Yuanji's back was wet with cold sweat. He had only achieved his career in ten years of hard work for twenty years, but it was ruined. Although the emperor did not punish him too much, he was obviously bored with him.

Even if the emperor did not bother him, this was the biggest stain in his career, and he could no longer be more ambitious.

"The same is true for all the ministers in the Nanshu Room!" Zhu Yunxi continued to say hatefully, "Do you still need to report to the emperor in front of you?"

"I'm waiting for ten thousand deaths!" Several people in Nanshu quickly leaned over to apologize.

"Hmph, let you take a picture, right?" As he leaned over, Li Jinglong looked at Xia Yuanji's side face and sneered, but the next second his eyes accidentally fell on Zhang Ju, Hou Yong and others, and his heart suddenly woke up.

"Yes, Nanshufang directly refuted this kind of thing. Zhang Yan and the others didn't know what the emperor was thinking!" They thought in their hearts about the scene in Nanshufang in the morning.

After reading the memorial sent by Tongzhengsi, Zhang Yan was undecided and then transferred it to others. Hou Yongru, Wu Fengzhao and others also said they were undecided. In the end, they said they wanted to send it to the imperial court and asked the emperor to decide.

Although Xie Jin opposed it, his slight words were useless. He and Xu Huizu have never been concerned about this matter, and they just follow the crowd.

"Ha, Xia Yuanji asked a few people from Nanshu to play with her quietly!" Li Jinglong thought of the joints in his heart and smiled secretly, "Haha, it's a bit interesting. The methods of these civil servants are really fucking bad!"

Thinking of this in his heart, Li Jinglong raised his head slightly, and the moment his eyes touched the emperor's face, his liver trembled violently, and he quickly lowered his head.

The angry emperor was carved out like the former Supreme Emperor, and it looked scary.

~~

The ministers all had gloomy faces and came out of the Ganqing Palace with their own worries.

Many people looked at the pale face of Xia Yuanji with complicated eyes, then sighed and shook their heads and walked away.

Xia Yuanji's lips were shriveled and she wanted to find someone to talk to, but she found that her former colleagues were far away from him, as if she was afraid of being bad for him.

He stood there for a long time, finally sighed, walked out listlessly with his hands on his back, and for a moment he seemed much older.

In this way, he left the Ming Gate, walked through the long Qianbu Lobby, blushed and anxious, passing through the yamen of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue before returning to the Ministry of Rites.

He waved his hand to repel the lower-level officials who wanted to report to the public affairs, and walked straight to a public office on the right with anger.

Just so happened that the office room was opening, revealing a rather elegant and 40-year-old smiling face.

"Weizhe, just came out of the palace?"

Seeing the man smiling, Xia Yuanji gritted his teeth and said, "Li Yixing, you have caused me a lot of pain!"

"This?" The official who called Li Yixing was stunned. He quickly looked around, pulled Xia Yuanji into his room, closed the door and asked, "What, something happened?"

~~

Li Yixing's great name is Li Zhigang, and he is the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ming Dynasty regarded the left as the emperor, so he was half a rank lower than Xia Yuanji's official rank, which means he was the third-rank figure of the Ministry of Rites.

In his early years, after he was a Jinshi in high school, he was recommended to serve the former crown prince Zhu Biao in the East Palace. Later, he was exiled to the local area for making mistakes. He then made contributions to the local area and went through the right senatorial position of the Central Plains Province, and now he serves as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

This is a talented person, but he is too focused and can lower his posture. Although he is only half a square lower than Xia Yuanji's grade, he always follows the other party's lead and follows the advice.

Xia Yuanji's memorial was actually written by him. The reason was as if Zhu Yunyu had thought in his heart. The Minister of Rites was replaced by Ren Hengtai, and they could only stay still, so they wanted to write a letter to the emperor to seek favor.

"You've been tricking me!" Xia Yuanji gritted her teeth and told the story of the court.

When Li Zhigang heard this, he also changed his color and stood there on the spot.

"Why did I believe you?" Xia Yuanji stomped her feet, "I have lost all my face in this life today..."

"Wait, Weizhe! Let's have someone to make fun of it!" Li Zhigang said hatefully, pressing Xia Yuanji on his seat, "Think about it, if this note is directly reached in front of the emperor, even if the emperor disagrees in his heart, wouldn't he have such a big fight?"

Xia Yuanji was stunned. Thinking about it, this is the truth.

At most, the emperor summoned him privately and scolded him a few words. How could he not leave any face in front of the civil and military officials inside and outside the imperial city like today?

"Our memorial should be directly in front of the imperial court. It must be that those people in the South Study Room read it first, and deliberately took it to the emperor and said something, which made Long Yan furious!" Li Zhigang whispered again, "Our original intention is to know that the emperor would not write the memorial to build the tomb at this time. At that time, the emperor would say a few words indifferently, and we would like to praise the holy grace. In this way, the emperor would understand our loyalty and would naturally look at him with admiration."

His plan was very clever. He found an excuse to ask Zhu Yunxi to say a few words, and then wrote a letter to praise the merits, and then the government and the country praised the wise and wise monarch...

"They saw your and my intentions and deliberately interfered with it!"

"Hiss!" Xia Yuanji looked at him with a deep hatred. He stroked his long beard and frowned. He was not a person who had no scheming in the officialdom for so many years. He just didn't think so much in his panic just now. Now that Li Zhigang was trying to do so, he suddenly realized it.

"But, those people in Nanshufang... are unreasonable to do this! Everyone is the same court as ministers, why do they do this?"

Li Zhigang sighed halfway, "I was negligent. Hou Yong was in the southern study room. When I was in Henan, I was often dirty when I was in Henan." As he said, he said with hatred, "It must be him, hum!" As he said, he whispered, "I can't say I have other thoughts!"

"And?" Xia Yuanji became more and more surprised.

"The new Shangshu Ren Gong Zhuang Yan Lang of our Ministry of Rites is the same year as Yan Zhenzhi, the chief censor Yan Zhenzhi, and Yan Zhenzhi and others, as Hou Yong and Baozhao and others, were both subordinates of Mr. Ling. You should know that the reason why the former Shangshu Zheng resigned was that Mr. Ling... Weizhe, you have always been close to Zheng's house before..."

Xia Yuanji browed deeply, "What do you mean? Can't?" As he said that, he paused, "This bend is too big. Although I am not familiar with them, I am not sure..."

"Hey, you humble gentleman, how can you think of people's hearts being sinister? You and I are in the Ministry of Rites. The Minister of State is now being held by us. They naturally regard us as enemies and we are blocking their way!" Li Zhigang said with a heartache.

"This..." Natsuharaji smiled bitterly, "I have so many enemies for no reason?"

"There is no way out!" Li Zhigang whispered.

“What are the advantages of doing?”
