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

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhang?"

"Aren't you reading the newspaper? Why are you crying? Tell me what's in the newspaper!"

Zhang Kui kept me in suspense.

Almost everyone became nervously curious, afraid to hear what was in the newspaper, but at the same time they couldn't help wanting to hear it.

Under the urging of everyone.

Zhang Kui finally lowered his sleeves, his eyes reddened as he choked back tears, "It's not... it's not like that... it's my own fault."

"In fact, all of you listeners are wrong. I was wrong too. All of us... were wrong from the beginning to the end! I am guilty! The crime of great disrespect!" Zhang Kui's eyes swept over everyone and he sighed emotionally.

These words made the people present even more confused.

"From the beginning to the end... wrong?"

"What's wrong? What's sinful? What is it?"

"..."

Everyone couldn't contain themselves and started to get a little impatient.

Zhang Kui then raised his hand and slammed the gavel with a "bang", which made everyone's heart tremble, and the huge Zuihe Tower fell silent.

It was almost dead silence.

Zhang Kui's voice, though old, was resounding: "This is not willful and reckless! This is not foolish and incompetent! This is unparalleled wisdom, this is the current emperor!!!"

The Zuihe Tower was already silent because of the sound of the gavel.

The sound of Zhang Kui's words seemed particularly loud and clear, as if vibrating everyone's eardrums.

After a moment of stunned silence.

The entire Zuihelou was belatedly aware of what was happening and burst into an uproar.

"Unparalleled wisdom? The current emperor? No, old man Zhang, are your eyes blurring out? Or are you getting senile and confused?" Someone couldn't help but question.

No one here thinks that the two words "unparalleled wisdom" and "the current emperor" have any connection.

This time, Zhang Kui cursed directly: "Shut up! Shut the fuck up!"

Then, another bang of the gavel rang out: "So I was wrong, and you were wrong too! You and I should both listen and see carefully!"

"I am not dazzled, nor am I senile."

At this point, his cloudy eyes filled with tears, and he bowed towards the Forbidden City and said, "Your Majesty, your majesty is wise!"

Then he took a deep breath, his lower eyelid trembled slightly, and said:

"I wonder if anyone here is aware of some recent events in the north. I suspect some have heard about a great philanthropist in some northern prefecture or county who used his wealth to produce cheap cloth and sold it to the poor and destitute!"

Zhang Kui mentioned this matter.

Someone in the audience immediately nodded slightly and whispered to each other.

"Yes, I did hear about this from someone from Henan."

"Henan, why did I hear Shanxi?"

"What I heard was..."

Of course, civilian intelligence cannot be so fast, and most people have only heard some rumors.

Zhang Kui paused and continued, "The north is far away after all, so perhaps you won't care too much about this."

"But if you pay attention, you will find that such great benefactors do not exist in just one state, one prefecture, or one county! Instead, they exist in all states, prefectures, and counties in the north! I only realized today that they exist in every state!"

After all, this restaurant is located on the bank of Qinhuai River. Those who can sit here must have some experience and know what the concept of what Zhang Kui is talking about is.

So, let’s stop here.

Some people in Zuihelou suddenly lost their composure and exclaimed in disbelief, "Every single one? Impossible! This is simply impossible!"

"But His Majesty has done it! This sixth issue of the newspaper details it all! Feel free to read it yourself when you buy this issue. Actually, I have some connections in the court, and I've asked those I know, and they all said the same thing during today's morning court session in Fengtian Hall!"

"You only need to go out and ask more people and learn more about this matter, and you will know whether it is true or not. There is no need for me to risk my reputation by saying something that cannot be covered up!" Zhang Kui said in an excited and confident voice.

He said this.

No one doubted the truth of this matter anymore.

Everyone grasped the key point of his words: "You said... Your Majesty did this!? Producing cheap cloth and selling it in every prefecture, state, and county in the north... Your Majesty did it!?"

"Let's not talk about whether this can be done, but His Majesty..."

"He's not...how could he..."

Many people didn't even know where to start complaining, and they could hardly speak.

I just think, it’s impossible!

Zhang Kui slammed the gavel and shouted, "That's right! This is indeed the work of the current emperor! That's why I say, I was wrong, and you were wrong too. We were wrong from the very beginning!"

"The bark and vegetation in the Yingtian Prefecture area weren't used by Your Majesty's Industry Department to create some strange and ingenious crafts!"

"Such a large quantity is precisely used to produce those cheap fabrics! For the past two or three months, His Majesty has been burdened with countless infamy, while he has been working tirelessly to facilitate this matter!"

"Not to mention the freezing cold in the north, even in the warm south, some people without a single layer of clothing could freeze to death in the snow and wind in winter. In these troubled times, many people must be aware of this. Your Majesty's actions will save countless lives and dangers!"
