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

On a high platform in the distance.

Ma Sanbao stood in the center, his head held high. "I'm Ma Sanbao, Director of the Imperial Household Department." He bowed respectfully toward the Forbidden City and said, "I'm presiding over this press conference by order of His Majesty the Current Emperor."

A physical loudspeaker has been installed on the platform according to Zhu Yunhuan's request. Although the effect is definitely not as good as an electronic loudspeaker, it is enough for everyone present to hear his voice when used in such a wide and open place.

"That's the first thing to say."

"It's the matter that's become a hot topic in Yingtian Prefecture right now: the imperial court mass-producing cheap cloth and selling it nationwide!"

Hearing what Ma Sanbao said.

There was an uproar among the crowd.

"About cheap fabric? Talking to us about cheap fabric?"

"..."

Everyone's first reaction was... accident - this incident was a great thing for others, but for the people of Yingtian Prefecture, it was a disaster!

During this period, the people of Yingtian Prefecture were in great resentment.

However, they never imagined that after they had been cursing openly and secretly for so long, the court would actually one day officially respond to this matter, and the emperor of the time sent his most trusted eunuch to respond to this matter!

This is not at all what the imperial court would do!

Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and above them are the royal family and the emperor - if the common people suffer a little, suffer a little loss, or even lose their lives, do you really expect the emperor to compensate them for it?

But now...

The imperial court actually took the initiative to talk about this matter...!

This is what really surprised and shocked them.

"Silence!!!" someone shouted immediately, suppressing the uproar.

Everyone fell silent, half in disbelief and half in curiosity.

Ma Sanbao continued, "I know what you're thinking, and you're right! His Majesty has always known that you've been wronged!"

"I, a humble servant, have the audacity to overstep my bounds and speak from the bottom of my heart on behalf of His Majesty. You are all subjects living at the feet of the Emperor and on the edge of the Imperial City. How could His Majesty abandon you and leave you alone?"

Ma Sanbao was an extremely intelligent man, and had been with Zhu Yunhuan for many years, so of course he could guess a lot about his master's thoughts.

Based on the temperament of one's own master.

This press conference was certainly held to quickly promote anthracite, but didn't the owner also want to take this opportunity to win the hearts of the people?

And he is the one standing in the front.

Now that he finally had the chance, he would of course do everything His Majesty had instructed him to do, and more importantly, he would do as His Majesty had said—"Do one thing, and achieve 100% success"...

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone gathered in the audience instantly lost their composure, and the scene was once again filled with murmurs and hesitant discussions...

"Hiss...this is crazy...he actually admitted it directly?"

"What do you mean you won't abandon us or leave us alone?"

"Could it be possible... that it can really compensate us insignificant and lowly people...?" Some people immediately complained in disbelief.

Although they couldn't believe it, the resentment and anger in the eyes of many people in the crowd suddenly disappeared.

Then many people's eyes lit up slightly, revealing a hint of anticipation.

It’s not that they have forgotten their grievances.

But...

The sky is still gloomy today.

The coldest time may come in the next few days. In this case, they are really worried that they will have a hard time this winter!

If... the imperial court is really willing to understand them, even if it is just a little bit of help or compensation, it will be much more important than their previous grievances and resentments!

Moreover.

Ma Sanbao was representing the emperor this time, and his words were considered the emperor's words. The ancient blind worship of imperial power was foolish. Even people like Fang Xiaoru and Zhuo Jing were willing to sacrifice their lives for a worthless Zhu Yunwen. In the eyes of ordinary people, an emperor's willingness to address them directly was considered a great act of mercy.
