The two old ministers knelt on the ground, Yuan He and Lu Tai, holding thick memorials in their hands. As soon as they saw Emperor Hongwen, they immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I have important matters to report."
Emperor Hongwen remembered what Lu Tai said and knew that they were not good at coming. This time, he must have collected more opposition and put pressure on him collectively. He was very upset: "It's the third update in the middle of the night, what can you do?
Wait until tomorrow?"
Lu Tai was very cunning: "There are some things in the court that are hard to say."
Emperor Hongwen was angry and said, "What can't be said in the court? Lu Tai, don't be sneaky."
When Lu Tai was furious when he saw the real dragon face, he still didn't dare to continue talking. He gestured to Yuan He beside him with his eyes and asked him to rescue him quickly. After all, Yuan He was the elders of the two dynasties, and Emperor Hongwen was not good enough, he had to give him face.
Yuanhe Interview: "Your Majesty calms down, I am not here for my own business today. What I do is entirely out of public intention and concern for the country. The country belongs to Your Majesty, but I am the country belongs to you.
Minister, therefore, when you see things that are not conducive to the country, you have to say them out, otherwise it will not be the way for the ministers."
Let’s take a look at the big truth first, but the big hat is worn high. Emperor Hongwen is still patient: “Tell me, what’s the matter? If anyone harms the country, I will certainly not forgive them easily.”
"The old ministers and others dare not make it publicly in the court. They are not intimidated because they are afraid of offending some people."
"Ha, Yuanhe, what are you saying? Who can't afford to offend?"
Seeing that Emperor Hongwen looked bad, Lu Tai did not dare to fan the flames anymore, so he respectfully handed over the memorial: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to rectify the administration these days? We have already obtained a lot of evidence and found that many Han people were corrupt and abused the law and were blind.
Master, what you do is really heartbreaking... These are the data you get from the Censor. Please check it out..."
The data is very thick. It seems that it has been several years since the paper has turned slightly yellow. Emperor Hongwen looked at it, and his face was even more unkind: "What evidence?"
"Your Majesty looked carefully and you could see clearly at first glance."
