Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"I don't know the others, but the doctor from the Ministry of Rites who just happened is the nephew of my uncle's sister's mother-in-law!"

"I know that Lord Yuan! He's a man of integrity! It's said that he was once angered and thrown out of the Qianqing Palace because he gave His Majesty some advice... He said so..."

"..."

Although many of the officials who spoke out on the scene held positions that were terrifyingly high among the common people, this was Yingtian Prefecture after all, and a random brick could hit an official. The scene before them of the officials in the court putting down their airs and shouting in the restaurant... although it was unprecedented, there were always people among the people who knew or were familiar with these faces.

So someone spoke up immediately.

After more people came back to their senses from their confusion, they almost all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling that the stones hanging in their hearts had fallen to the ground. What followed was... ecstasy... and a new round of carnival!

"So... there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong?"

"Of course! Don't you see that all the dignitaries in the court have come forward to personally prove it? They dug the sweet potatoes and they ate them!"

"If only one or two people said it, I might doubt it, but everyone says the same thing! They all say it's true!"

"Even the officials of the Censorate and the Six Departments of Imperial Censorship have spoken!"

"Tell me... can this be false?"

"These gentlemen are truly brave men! They have repeatedly stood firm and risked their lives to speak out and advise Your Majesty. Other officials might be servile, but not these!"

"Hahahahaha! This outrageous-sounding thing...isn't actually a dream!"

"Great! That's great! That's great!!!"

"Long live your Majesty!!"

"..."

Zhu Yunhuan listened to the deafening cheers outside that almost covered the sky and the earth, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his expression remained calm.

He casually closed the window of the room.

He glanced at Zhao Feng, who was so anxious that he almost jumped up and down, and said nonchalantly, "Why are you so anxious? Look, there is no doubt about it now. Everything in this world is true and false, and it cannot be true."

Zhu Yunhuan had not expected such a thing to happen in Zuiyue Tower. He had originally thought that everyone would probably try their best to verify the matter from multiple sources, and then the matter would slowly enter everyone's cognition... and then it would be nothing.

Today's episode...

The effect was much better than Zhu Yunhuan expected, but it was both unexpected and reasonable.

With so many people coming forward to tell their stories, how many people in Zuiyue Tower had heard and seen it firsthand? Many people would spread the news, and the news would surely spread throughout Yingtian Prefecture quickly.

Zhu Yunhuan no longer needs to worry about the follow-up.

Xu Miaojin also knew that all that was left of this incident was the carnival for everyone, so she followed Zhu Yunhuan back to her seat.

She took a deep breath.

He sighed, "Before this, the young emperor had a bad reputation among the common people, and it was also quite bad with the court officials. It was said that he would often cause the officials to die for his advice... This time, everyone is speaking up for him."

“True and false, false and true…”

"This little emperor...it's really hard to tell him apart."

Zhao Feng was now getting excited. "Of course... Your Majesty has endured countless inexplicable misunderstandings and insults. Many people refuse to tell the truth and simply believe whatever they see. Their insults are incredibly harsh!"

After saying this, he gave Xu Miaojin a meaningful look.

If it were before, how could Xu Miaojin let him, a servant, tease her like this? She would have definitely fought back, but this time she knew she was in the wrong.

The pink face became redder.

His eyes rolled around guiltily, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, cursing inwardly, "This Zhao Feng is such a jerk! He's bringing up all sorts of issues..."

Seeing her like this.

Zhu Yunhuan couldn't help laughing.

Although this little girl is a bit arrogant and spoiled like a lady from a military family, she is just a child after all. She is quick to scold people and honest in admitting her mistakes.

Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyebrows with a hint of mischief, secretly complaining, "When I reveal my true colors and ask him to work like a slave for me..."

"Is the little girl going to crawl under the table?"

Of course, Zhu Yunhuan just treated this as a little fun.

He quickly smoothed things over for Xu Miaojin: "Admitting one's mistakes is the best way to improve. You've scolded them, and everyone outside has scolded them, even the nobles in the court have scolded them... It's not embarrassing, haha."

Xu Miaojin felt better at this point. She raised her head and rolled her eyes at Zhao Feng, while looking at Zhu Yunhuan with a look that said "I saved my life".

After some banter, Xu Miaojin asked Zhu Yunhuan to play three games of Gobang with her. Well... she lost all of them and got hit on the head three times.

What remains is the usual on-the-job training for outstanding employees.

It was lunchtime, and the two of them had a hearty meal together. Xu Miaojin watched Zhu Yunhuan leave with reluctance in her heart.

"Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace or...?" Zhao Feng asked respectfully in a low voice.

"Go back to the palace." Zhu Yunhuan said.

Now the progress of the Alchemy Department is in an orderly manner, and there are no technical problems that require his personal attention for the time being. Moreover, a lot of things have indeed been piled up due to the previous period of suspension of court. After the morning court today, Zhu Yunhuan came out to watch the fun and eat melons, but those who accomplish great things should not indulge in pleasure, and it is time to go back and deal with it.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Feng responded and immediately drove the carriage towards the palace.

Along the way, the air seemed particularly lively and noisy - although it had been almost two hours since the release of the special edition of the journal, the warmth still lingered in every corner of Yingtian Prefecture and in all the streets and alleys.

Especially after the scene of the ministers shouting at each other in Zuiyue Tower spread.

The crowd's ecstasy was naturally even more unbridled.

"Although the only sweet potatoes we have right now are those dug up from the Imperial Garden... His Majesty has said that for the next crop, not only can we use the dug-up sweet potatoes as seeds, but even the sweet potato vines can sprout and be planted in the soil!"

"At this rate...we'll be able to eat sweet potatoes soon!"

"The newspaper said... the baked sweet potatoes are so sweet and soft, they're comparable to the cakes made by the palace chefs! Oh well... I'm drooling just from hearing that. I wonder if they really taste this good!"

"Why bother about whether it tastes good or not? We won't starve! Just think about what we eat during bad years and disasters. We eat wild grass! We chew on tree bark! We eat dirt!"

"Many people who were so hungry that they ate dirt, but couldn't defecate after eating it, suffocated themselves to death!"

"Your Majesty painstakingly found such a wonderful item... and even chose it for you!"

"..."

Zhu Yunhuan sat quietly in the carriage as it moved slowly forward, but he could hear the constant sound of discussion. A simple and unpretentious smile of satisfaction appeared on his face unconsciously.

Listening to these sounds, he was happy, happy from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, I also feel some emotion...

Since he came into this world, although he had been walking on thin ice under the watchful eyes of the Lu family and had a hard life, as a descendant of a noble family, his life was still much better than that of the common people.

Now he is in the highest position.

If he had not been among the common people, he would not have had any real feelings about many things - such as what he just heard, about being so hungry that he had to eat dirt and then being suffocated to death.
