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

"The weather has been getting colder recently. Even though Yingtian Prefecture is located in the south, it's completely frozen. In winter, people not only need firewood to cook, but also to keep warm. However, the bark and grass in the Yingtian Prefecture area have long been snatched up by the Industry Bureau..."

"Although it's not the coldest here yet, the mountains and plains are lacking a lot of wood for fuel. The people of Yingtian Prefecture will surely have a hard time in the depths of winter. I wonder if Your Majesty has listened to the complaints of the people of Yingtian Prefecture and the surrounding areas."

"If the people can no longer endure it, there might be unrest in Yingtian Prefecture."

"I dare you to ask Your Majesty to order the Industry Department to return these things that rightfully belong to the people. There's still room for recovery! I mentioned this a while ago, and I'm going to mention it again now. If Your Majesty doesn't agree, I'll keep asking again!"

"Your Majesty, please consider this!"

Yuan Tai spoke angrily in the empty hall with an excited voice.

He was the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate. He was a man of upright character and would speak out and advise against anything he felt was unfair.

At the beginning, he was indeed prepared to die for his advice, but later he gradually discovered that although the new emperor was sometimes cruel and ruthless and acted arbitrarily, he never wanted to punish those who gave him advice!

Of course, although His Majesty did not intend to punish them, he always turned a deaf ear to them and never said that he would accept their advice. Every time, he let the group of Huaixi nobles argue with them. But those Huaixi nobles really spoiled the young emperor like their own children, and they defended the young emperor in the court every day and argued with them crazily.

However, after going through this several times, Yuan Tai, who was not afraid of death and even wanted to leave his name in history, became even bolder. He often expressed his true feelings in the court without reservation, just like today.

In this way, he earned himself the title of "honest minister" both in the court and in the opposition, which was a good thing for him. He became more and more active in this path of persuasion and remonstration.

Not just Yuan Tai.

He didn't finish his words.

Among the civil officials, some stood up one after another and echoed these words:

"I second the proposal!"

"Master Yuan is right!"

"Seconded……"

Their job is to advise the king and expose lawless officials. They also want to gain fame for themselves, so of course they have to follow.

The Huaixi nobles on the other side exchanged glances with each other.

They all curled their lips helplessly: I thought this group of people were going to cause trouble today, but it turns out it’s the same old things again!

At the same time, some people immediately stood out of the queue and prepared to gather and start the group.

However, this time, what was beyond their expectation was that - before they could stand still and say something to refute Yuan Tai and other censors, His Majesty, who was always waiting for them to come forward and clean up the mess, actually did not sit in silence this time!

He actually came forward and said, "My dear Yuan, there's no need to wait until later. I'll give you a definitive answer today - I can't pay them back at all. It's impossible for me to pay them back. All these things have been used up."

"But I have good news to announce."

"My Industrial Department has recently discovered another good thing! I am so happy that I can't wait to share it with you, my dear ministers!" Zhu Yunhuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne at this moment, sat up straight with his usually lazy body, raised his eyebrows, and announced with a meaningful look.

This time Zhu Yunhuan actually spoke out in person, which not only surprised the Huaixi nobles, but also surprised Yuan Tai and his group of "trolls".

At first I heard Zhu Yunhuan's voice.

They were still somewhat excited, wondering if His Majesty had changed his nature this time.

But the next moment they couldn't hold it anymore.

"Used...used up?"

"We've plucked so much bark and grass in the Yingtian Prefecture area, and yet..."

"..."

Whether it was the censors like Yuan Tai, or the officials like Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen who were tired and didn't want to care about Zhu Yunhuan anymore, they all felt uncomfortable - was this matter really irreversible?
