Seeing this, Eunuch Xu and some ministers quickly followed him.
Seeing that Emperor Hongyuan refused to listen to Taifu Han's advice, Chu Xuanchen clenched his fists.
If this continues, it is possible that the country will no longer have a country, and how will the people be attached to it?
When Taifu Han also walked out of the hall, some upright ministers gathered around him.
Grand Master Li Jin said: "Master, you just remonstrated with death, which really impressed me. Now the country is in turmoil and the people are in dire straits, but the emperor doesn't care about the life and death of the people and is still addicted to elixirs. I am really worried about the future of Chu State!"
Dong Changfeng also said: "Yes! The country is in such chaos! Some ministers in the court are searching for elixirs and beauties to confuse the emperor for their own benefit, completely ignoring the overall situation. If this continues, what will the common people do?"
Taifu Han said worriedly: "Now many people have become bandits because of lack of food. Once the number of such people increases, our country will be in chaos. Everyone, we cannot allow the emperor to continue like this. We must advise the emperor and let him
He tried to find ways to help the people and allocated funds for disaster relief. I will go to court tomorrow morning and I will remonstrate with death until the emperor corrects himself."
"Okay, Grand Tutor, we will go to the meeting with you tomorrow. Let's unite to go to the meeting and put pressure on the emperor, so that he will take it seriously."
"Okay, I'll come with you too."
As the ministers were talking, they suddenly saw Chu Xuanchen coming out. Taifu Han immediately said: "Look, Prince Li is here! Prince Li has always been concerned about the country and the people. We asked him to come up together. With Prince Li here,
Maybe the emperor will listen to him."
"Okay, let's go quickly." Taishi Li said.
As the group said this, they quickly came to Chu Xuanchen.
"Your Highness Prince Li, please stay." Taifu Han stepped forward and said politely.
Chu Xuanchen stopped, glanced at everyone, and said, "Master, please speak."
Taifu Han sighed uncomfortably and said: "King Li, the emperor has become more and more stupid since he became obsessed with Taoism. He doesn't care about state affairs or government affairs. Tomorrow I will lead everyone to continue to go to court to advise the emperor.
.Li Wang, can you come with us?"
Li Jin said: "Yes, King Li, with you here, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Chu Xuanchen lowered his eyes and said: "Taifu Han, Taishi Li, I understand your feelings of serving the country and the people. Just now, Taifu Han sacrificed his life to remonstrate for the people, and I was also very moved. But now the emperor has become ignorant and ignorant.
No matter what you say, he won't listen."
"King Li, what do you mean?" Taifu Han asked.
Chu Xuanchen said: "The emperor can only listen to his slanders now. He was furious in the main hall just now. I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. You should not continue to talk, so as not to anger the emperor again."
"King Li, what do you mean, if the emperor becomes like this, we will just let him go? If we continue to ignore him, Chu will be in danger!" Li Jin said sadly.
Chu Xuanchen said: "I, like you, are also very worried about the country and the people. But the emperor cannot listen to good advice now. If you give advice rashly, it will not only be useless, but may also cost everyone's life. Please advise the emperor.
It's not something that happens overnight, we have to find another way."
Taifu Han sighed and said: "What King Li said is not unreasonable. The emperor is indeed determined to have his own way and is stubborn. It seems that we have to consider this matter in the long term and find the right time to discuss it."
Chu Xuanchen nodded and said: "Well, don't worry, I will find another way when I go back. I will never let the late emperor's foundation be destroyed, let alone let the people be forced to become thieves."
As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly.
Then, everyone agreed not to go to the camp and went home.

But as soon as Taifu Han arrived home, Li Jin and Dong Changfeng also came to Han's house.
Seeing Li Jin and others, Taifu Han was stunned.
He said: "Everyone, what's wrong?"
Li Jin said: "Taifu, King Li asked us not to go to Shu now for the sake of our lives. But after thinking about it, I found that our lives are a small thing, but the rise and fall of the country is a big thing. We have decided to continue
Shangshu, even if we offend the emperor and be beheaded by the emperor, we will not hesitate."
Dong Changfeng said: "Yes! The situation is getting more and more serious now. At worst, it costs me my life, and I will fight to the death to remonstrate!"
Taifu Han said: "Have you discussed this matter with King Li? Can he agree?"
Li Jindao: "We did not discuss this matter with him. We do not want to implicate King Li on this matter. There are not many people in the court who serve the country and the people like King Li. He must not have anything happen to him. Once something happens to him, there will be no one to speak for the people."
, so we don’t want to involve him in this matter.”
Dong Changfeng said: "Yes, King Li and his wife have been thinking of ways to improve people's livelihood. They are the hope of Chu State, and we cannot hinder them. This time, it is up to us to go and remonstrate with the emperor. Anyway, we are willing to risk it all!"
Taifu Han saw that everyone was speaking sincerely and was very united, and he said excitedly: "Okay, I will take the lead this time. Let's write the memorial quickly. We will submit the memorial to the emperor early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Taifu Han, it's settled, let's go back and write the memorial first!" Li Jin said.
"Okay, everyone, please go slowly." Taifu Han said.

Prince Rui's Mansion
After Prince Rui returned to the palace, he told Princess Rui what happened in the court today.
After that, he said: "This king heard that after Taifu Han failed to remonstrate with death today, not only did he not stop, but he even united with more ministers to go to the throne together. They are quite courageous."
Princess Rui rolled her eyes, with a hint of calculation flashing in her eyes, "Your Majesty, this move by Taifu Han will be of great benefit to you. If you seize this opportunity, you may be able to gain your father's trust."
Prince Rui narrowed his eyes coldly, "Jingyi, what do you mean?"
Princess Rui sneered: "Think about it, with these pedantic old ministers here, the emperor must have a headache now. If someone can stand by his side at this time, help him solve problems, and solve this difficult matter, then this person
He will definitely be put to good use by the emperor."
When King Rui heard this, he had a cold look on his face, "You are right, then I will go to my father early tomorrow morning to help him solve his problems."
Moreover, he can also use this matter to deal with his political opponents, such as Chu Xuanchen.
"Okay, I wish the prince a successful victory." Princess Rui said, picking up a glass of wine and passing it to Prince Rui.
Prince Rui took the wine, held her in his arms, and said with a hooked lips: "Jingyi, you are really my good wife. Don't worry, when I succeed, this country will be half of yours. Come, let me
Here’s a toast to you.”
As he spoke, he clinked glasses with Princess Rui and drank the wine in his hands.
After hearing his words, Princess Rui was very happy and full of longing for the future.
