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

As Zhuo Jing followed Ma Sanbao, he directly denied all his previous secret criticisms.

"If Your Majesty had listened to those people every time, would the people be able to enjoy the life and situation they have today? That's impossible!!"

Think of this.

Zhuo Jing unconsciously straightened his chest and stared forward, his expression faintly filled with excitement and anticipation: "Your Majesty, what you have done, and what you will do in the future... will all be earth-shattering and unprecedented!"

"His talent is so incredible that no one, including myself... can even begin to compare to him. How can we even ask for advice and guidance? Ha!"

He laughed at himself with mixed feelings and shook his head.

However, his smile was clearly filled with admiration, disbelief, anticipation... and other emotions.

He believed that he was well-versed in history books and that he had never seen such an emperor in history. It had been no more than half a year since the Ming Dynasty was replaced by the old one. What would the Ming Dynasty be like in the future?

"I can't imagine that."

"So, I can only wait and see!"

Zhuo Jing was thinking excitedly in his heart, and gradually his figure disappeared in the snow together with Ma Sanbao's.

……

The next day.

Every day that passes, the New Year is one day closer.

Civil and military officials, high-ranking officials, and nobles may seem high and mighty, but who are they not ordinary people? Any ordinary person would lose the will to go to work at this moment, even the Minister of Personnel Zhan Hui and the Minister of Revenue Fu Youwen, who currently hold the highest positions among civil officials.

So, after the morning court session.

Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen each checked in at the six ministries where they were located, explained what they had to do a few years ago, and then left the palace together after work.

The two of them left the Meridian Gate.

They got into one of the many carriages waiting outside, looked at each other in silence, and sighed at the same time.

Fu Youwen sighed with some regret, "It seems that Old Liu will not have a good New Year. Today, you just mentioned it with good intentions in the court, but you were reprimanded by His Majesty and fined two months' monthly salary..."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Hui's eyelids twitched.

As if blaming him, she said, "How dare you say that! You and I agreed to plead for Lao Liu together. I said everything, but you didn't say a word! You got away with it!"

The last time the two of them discussed the matter of the Huaixi nobles with Liu Sanwu, the old man Liu Sanwu rushed forward with a passion, but the two of them shrank back.

The three of them have a pretty good relationship.

Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen thought that the New Year was coming soon. Although the old man had a stubborn temper, he was also a man worthy of admiration. It had been so long since the incident, so it would be good for them to mention it indirectly in the court.

If nothing else, it would be nice to let the old man out to celebrate the New Year.

The result was unexpected.

When the young emperor in the Golden Palace heard Zhan Hui mention Liu Sanwu's name, he immediately became furious. Fu Youwen always knew how to deal with the current situation, so of course he immediately adhered to the principle of "a friend's death is better than my own death" and let Zhan Hui take the blame.

Fu Youwen smiled awkwardly, "I, Old Fu, am sorry for this! But the situation is stronger than the person. You know His Majesty's temper. He's already angry, so how can we dare to say anything nonsense?"

Zhan Hui agreed with this statement.

That little King of Hell is moody. Don't be fooled by his elegant and gentle appearance. If he says he wants to peel off your skin, he will! Putting aside other things, the corruption case in Datong Prefecture has been under investigation for many days. According to the time, Song Zhong, who went to kill and skin people, should be back in Beijing soon.

This matter changed him.

He does that too!

So he could only sigh and admit his bad luck, and complained: "Forget it, you old man have always been the most cunning!" He secretly swore in his heart that he would not be the first to take action next time.
