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

As Zhang Kui spoke rapidly on stage, the chatter in the Drunken Crane Tower gradually died down. Suddenly, no one made a sound, and all the audience members wore mixed expressions.

Therefore, Zhang Kui's voice became even more deafening!

There is no other reason.

What Zhang Kui just said did not just emphasize a so-called result and argument, but linked together many of the causes and effects, appearances, and internal phenomena.

From the already controversial "imperial court's compulsory requisition of large quantities of plants and trees" in Yingtian Prefecture, the "Strange and Ingenious Industrial Bureau"... to the final fabrics sold in various places, it was a complete and flawless chain of cause and effect.

Anyone who can sit in this Zuihe Tower must be a person with some knowledge.

You'll know once you listen to it.

This seemingly impossible thing - is a fact!

That tyrant emperor, whom they would always bring up and curse after dinner, and even openly and covertly rebuke when he was just in the heat of the moment, had done something great! He had done something great to protect the poor and needy people of the world!

The most ridiculous thing is.

That "tyrant" could have said it directly. He could have told everyone from the beginning that the Industrial Bureau was trying to quickly produce a large amount of yarn, and that the weaving bureaus and weaving workshops under the Ministry of Industry were shut down in order to produce these fabrics.

But he did this to ensure that this matter could proceed smoothly.

In order to ensure that the poor people can at least have a piece of clothing to cover their bodies during the winter, I have not said these things until now.

And they did nothing, and did not know the truth. They just called the emperor a tyrant every day, and said all kinds of unpleasant things when no one was around. They even held a denunciation just now.

Realize this.

Everyone in the Zuihelou couldn't help but frown, feeling as if their throats were choked and unable to utter a word. An inexplicable emotion grew in the entire Zuihelou and then expanded wildly.

As Zhang Kui explained the whole story, his voice stopped and Zuihelou fell into a terrible silence. In such a huge restaurant, you could hear a pin drop!

Because they understand.

Wrong, they were wrong.

They criticize current ills and talk big, thinking that they are well-versed in classics and history and have the ability to govern the country. Compared with Your Majesty who has done everything and endured everything, they are as ridiculous as a clown on the stage.

The silence lasted for about three or two breaths.

There was only a deafening sound of a gavel: "Bang——" Everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

Then Zhang Kui, who had been standing behind the podium, stepped out.

In front of everyone, he knelt down in the direction of the Forbidden City with a thud, shouting, "I am guilty! I am guilty of disrespect!"

“Your Majesty… is wise!!”

This voice, in the dead silence of Zuihe Tower, was like the sound of a huge bell, which made people's hearts tremble. Everyone who was stunned on the scene couldn't help but feel ashamed. Thinking of all the things that happened, their eyes turned red like Zhang Kui.

Then Zhang Kui bowed on the stage.

Suddenly, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, the Zuihe Tower was filled with the noisy sound of tables and chairs scraping against the ground. Many of the spectators and listeners present stood up one after another, kneeling on the ground and bowing towards the Forbidden City.

“Your Majesty is wise!!”

"It is I who do not understand your Majesty's good intentions. Your Majesty is a wise ruler! You are someone who truly cares about the world!"

"We deserve to die! We don't know what he looks like, yet we still slander him!"

"..."

Those who reacted most violently were naturally the group that had cursed the most violently in the past. They were the so-called literati and scholars. They criticized the current ills when they were dissatisfied, but they all learned the Confucian and Mencian teachings of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. If the emperor was not virtuous, they should advise him. If the emperor was virtuous, they should respect and be loyal to him.
