Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"Get up, everyone get up."

Zhuo Jing frowned and raised his hand with an expression of reluctance. As a loyal minister, he naturally loved the people and did not want to see such a scene.

And the more important point is.

He is upright and loyal to the emperor, and he is stubborn, but that doesn't mean he is a person who is blind and cannot see the situation clearly.

He was now an imperial envoy, patrolling the land on behalf of the emperor. His every move represented the young emperor of Yingtian Prefecture. And what had that young emperor been doing since ascending the throne?—producing cloth, mining for anthracite, investigating corruption… He was even willing to bear the infamy just to ensure these things went smoothly.

In every single thing, which one does not put the people at the top of the heart?

Others thought that someone was directing and manipulating him from behind, but Zhuo Jing saw it all - this was the attitude of His Majesty.

As an imperial envoy, his style of conduct naturally could not contradict that of the young emperor.

Hearing Zhuo Jing's words.

Everyone's heart was filled with warmth, and they looked at Zhuo Jing and the others with burning eyes, tears welling up in their eyes, sobbing uncontrollably...

He refused to get up and just kept kowtowed in the snow.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Lord Zhuo! We are worthless people, so who would care about our lives? But now we know! Your Majesty cares! The Imperial Envoy cares!"

"I bow to thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

"..."

There was a genuine enthusiasm in everyone's voices, and even if Zhuo Jing spoke, it was useless. Zhuo Jing didn't know how to persuade them.

After a pause, he turned to a captain standing behind him and said, "Tie up this traitorous Li Shunan... and all the bullies in this mine, and send them to the Quanzhou government office."

"I will also go there and immediately review the case. They must be given the explanation they deserve!"

He could not resist the enthusiasm of the people. These people had already suffered for a long time, and he could not bear to see these simple miners wasting time here, so he could only withdraw as soon as possible.

Moreover, making these beasts give them an explanation is his top priority, and it is also the greatest comfort to the people.

"Yes, Lord Zhuo." The captain of the garrison saluted skillfully and waved his hand. Then the sounds of footsteps, the friction of armor, and the sounds of fear and struggle filled the entire mine.

Zhuo Jing glanced at the people who were still kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to express their gratitude.

He turned his head and looked at Yang Daqiang, a captain of the Jinyiwei who was in charge of the mines in Quanzhou Prefecture. His eyes were stern and he said, "Yang Daqiang..."

Yang Daqiang was startled by his gaze.

His face changed drastically, turning visibly pale. After a moment's silence, he seemed to lose his temper, with a hint of despair in his eyes. At the same time, he had to completely let go of the arrogance brought by his identity as a Jinyiwei. He clenched his fists and slowly stretched them out, as if he was ready to be dealt with.

He sighed deeply: "Master Zhuo is indeed a good official, so please be clear about this..."

He slowly raised his eyes, the previous opportunistic cunning in them gone, replaced by sincerity and seriousness: "But I still have to defend myself. I really know nothing about this... The rest is up to you, my Lord."

Speaking of it.

He seemed to suddenly remember something.

He pursed his lips and spoke with a hint of hesitation: "Now that the matter here is over and everything is clear, I have something to ask you. I wonder if Master Zhuo is willing to listen?"

"You say." The other party no longer had the inappropriate attitude, and he no longer had the intention of deliberately suppressing himself.

"Lord Zhuo is in Yingtian Prefecture. This time he came to Quanzhou Prefecture in Jiangxi. Whether he was checking the accounts openly or sending people to investigate secretly, he came for this mine... From the beginning to the end, it was Da Ding who wanted to turn this place upside down, as if he was sure that something must have happened here from the beginning?" Yang Daqiang felt a little unwilling and puzzled.
