It was still the magnificent Ganqing Palace... next to it, He Jin stood lonely at the door, looking around at the huge and majestic imperial city, and the layers of pavilions that represent the hierarchy, and suddenly felt indescribable in his heart.

It seemed as if after leaving the capital, it was like a bird that had taken off a bird cage, and it was indescribable joy. But as soon as I returned to this cage, I couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable all over.

During his days in Fujian, he didn't have to worry about morning courts or state affairs. He would tease his children when he had nothing to do, just live happily. If new news came from overseas, the mode of One Piece was also turned on, and the world was vast and the men could travel, how happy it would be?

Thinking about this in a mess, Qiu Ju had already arrived beside him and shouted at the top of his voice: "Talk to the Ministry of Commerce to meet He Jin for the visit of the Ministry of Commerce!..."

This sharp voice immediately scared He Jin and shivered. After shouting, Qiu Ju said to He Jin in a low voice: "Mr. He, Your Majesty let you in."

He Jin looked at Qiu Ju in depression and said to himself: Didn’t I hear that sound you just now?

But he also understood that this was the rule. He sang loudly to show the power of the emperor and the holy family. The soft words below were considered to be the conversation between the two.

In the past, he could still tolerate it, but now he feels a bit ridiculous in such a detail.

After entering the warm-up hall, I knelt down again as usual.

Moreover, due to the Chinese New Year, the ceremony naturally requires a great ceremony, which requires five bows and three bows... When he made these actions mechanically, He Jin was thinking, who had developed such a set of rituals and rules?

It seemed that after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, Ying Zheng felt that his achievements were overwhelming in the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and he began to expand. However, the Qin Dynasty respected the Legalists, and the etiquette did not seem to be very complicated.

After the Han Dynasty, the old hooligan Liu Bang became the emperor. He watched the old brothers from Pei County go to court and sit in court all day long and said vulgar and noisy. He still regarded himself as Liu Saner, and felt very unhappy. The Confucian Shusun Tong thought about the superiors and said that he would follow the Zhou rituals to create the etiquette of the king and the ministers.

Next, because the emperors of all dynasties liked each other and the ministers who surrendered to power tried their best to flatter, the rules became more and more severe, and even rose to the point where they were beheaded...

After thinking about these things, the kowtow ceremony was completed.

He Jin raised his head, said respectfully and properly: "My minister He Jin bowed to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, and the country of Ming Dynasty will flourish."

Emperor Hongzhi looked pretty good, but his expression was a little weird.

After all, I was used to He Jin's big flattery and talked nonsense, but this time he was so brief, he was a little uncomfortable for a moment: "Runde, I haven't seen you for nearly a year, and you seem to have become much more calm."

He Jin couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard this.

However, he also admitted that the days when he was foolish and not crazy were really interesting. After all, he... was just that guy.

But now I can't get rid of my heart and I can't be happy, so I skipped the question and asked, "I don't know what's the point of your Majesty summoning me to the capital this time?"

Seeing He Jin's indifferent reaction, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have realized something. After pondering for a moment, he was not angry, but instead asked He Jin: "Rande, have I been slow to treat you?"

"No." He Jin closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said sincerely: "Your Majesty has carried the fierce discussions of the court several times, and has been in a state of secular attacks, and has strongly promoted the weak ministers."

"If it weren't for the sincere protection of Your Majesty, with such a person as a person who was free from trouble, the grave grass might have... No, to be precise, the person might have died long ago without a place to bury."

He Jin said this after carefully recalling the relationship between the king and the ministers. To be fair, Emperor Hongzhi was definitely an emperor who was very generous and kind among the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty who treated his ministers with preferential treatment.

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and later compared with Zhu Houguan, who was extremely powerful and suspicious... He Jin dared to promise that if he treated those people with an attitude towards Emperor Hongzhi, he would definitely die very simply.

He could have the care of Emperor Hongzhi today, which is absolutely necessary and insufficient. Without Emperor Hongzhi's favor, he would not be able to be rich even for more than three years.

"Since that's the case, why does Runde look depressed?" Emperor Hongzhi asked again in confusion.

He Jin thought about it and found that he could not answer this question.

So he looked twisted and said weakly in his own way: "Your Majesty, do you know that women always feel restless and depressed for a few days a month?"

When another emperor heard this, he was furious: he talked carefully, why did he talk about such a filthy woman? He was so vulgar and insulting!

However, the good-looking Emperor Hongzhi looked disgusted, but he was still patient. Well... he said with difficulty and embarrassment: "I... don't pay much attention to those medical books and don't know much about women's illness. However, even if you are right, what does it have to do with this time?"

"Because I feel that I have suffered from such diseases recently, and I am always upset and prone to random thoughts, so I naturally feel depressed..."

"I, I!..." Emperor Hongzhi was almost choked to death, and couldn't help but touch the inkstone on the imperial desk.

But the next moment, he suddenly laughed again: being able to say such unreasonable words means that even if this kid is sick, he is not very ill.

Probably, the skin is itchy, so I will get better after I suck it a few more times.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi sneered, changed the subject, and said, "Stop pretending, I am so anxious to call you back, don't you know what's going on?"

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty. I sneaked out of the post station last night and inquire from the British Duke in advance." He Jin replied truthfully. After all, it was not true and could not escape the suspicion of Emperor Hongzhi.

Then he continued: "The New Year has just passed, but the state affairs are constantly in full swing. Your Majesty probably feels that the opinions of the ministers around him are very different and have no new ideas. So, I want to hear the opinions of Wei, a minister who is a bit genius?"

"A little weird?" Hearing these four words, Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly and said, "Your self-evaluation is a bit humble."

"Actually, you guessed it well. I am destined to be overwhelmed this year. And this has been like this for 16 years." Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have felt a little emotional and said, "In previous years, it was probably the same. I have clarified the treasury and prepared for the future of the year."

"When you were not there in previous years, I and the Grand Secretary worked hard and could only piece together to barely support the country's operation. But this year, I cleared the treasury and found that compared with the losses in previous years, the Ming Dynasty's taxes actually had a surplus! In addition, the royal treasury was also filled with a lot of money."

"Your Majesty, this is undoubtedly a good thing." He Jin said in an interview.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said in a melancholy tone: "Yes, I can't imagine why I will be depressed when I am much better than in previous years. Think about it, maybe even if I have a surplus, I still can't handle state affairs?"

As soon as these words were heard, He Jin couldn't help rolling his eyes: What a bullshit depression, you're completely burning your money, your heart is starting to be wild.

I used to be poor and stingy, and I was only thinking about how to make up for state affairs. I was not in the mood to think about what I had. Now that I have a few stinky money on hand, I feel... Oh, my life shouldn't be like this, the Ming Dynasty shouldn't be like this!

The essence of human beings is that they are really fragrant, and bitches are always pretentious - these two iron laws are to put it bluntly, human nature, and people cannot be avoided.

Then you burned the buns here and felt like you were going to do something big, so you put your ideas on me, right? Now you deliberately pretend to be good, just wait for me to post them on your own initiative, so as to stage a scene of loyalty and virtuous ministers, right?

That's right, when he was in the Duke of England, He Jin realized this: why did he summon himself back in a hurry without saying the reason, and it was when a lot of state affairs needed money to solve it?

Isn't it greedy for me?... Bah, no, greedy for others' money?

Emperor Hongzhi doesn’t know how to remove the mill and kill the donkey, but he will think about how to make my donkey pull the mill and grind more flour for your Zhu family...

He Jin was certainly despised such a despicable and shameless so-called emperor's mind, and his face was instantly cold, and his whole body couldn't help but exude endless indignation.

The next moment... he knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is worried about the country and the people. It is a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the country! I am very moved and I am willing to do my best to assist you. Even if you spend all your money, you will not frown!"

Yes, don’t be naive. A person cannot be an enemy for the same time. Hurry up and listen to how Emperor Hongzhi plans to kill himself. This is the right way.
