Yawning, Zhu Houzhao, with a tired face, walked into the warm pavilion. After greeting Emperor Hongzhi with his greetings, Yili sat listlessly in front of his desk and began to take a nap.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw his appearance, his face turned angry.

It happened that the Grand Secretary also came to discuss matters. Emperor Hongzhi suppressed his breath for the time being, thinking of teaching this incompetent son a lesson later.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know that he was in trouble, but she still listened to the comments between the king and his ministers little by little. She just went in with her left ear and her right ear, and soon she began to half sleep and half wake up, and her eyes couldn't open.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi, who was also discussing with the Grand Secretary, heard a slight snoring sound in his ears. Looking at Zhu Houzhao, he had practiced his eyes half-closed and his magical skills while sitting and sleeping could no longer bear it. He slapped the table and shouted: "Zhu Houzhao!"

Zhu Houzhao, who was shocked at the time, almost jumped up.

Then he saw Emperor Hongzhi's angry face and quickly apologized: "Father, my son is here, my son is not sleeping, but was thinking deeply, but was thinking about the mystery of the state affairs just now."

"Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi sneered and said, "Then what have we discussed between the monarch and the minister just now?"

"This?" Zhu Houzhao was a little blind and was so anxious that he scratched his head. But he was also a little clever and said randomly: "The father and the Grand Secretary are discussing what his brother-in-law want to do."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Hongzhi was furious. But after hearing his words clearly, he was stunned again and asked, "Why did you say this? Could it be that He Runde would make any changes?"

For Emperor Hongzhi, He Jin was undoubtedly a rare talent. During this Shandong disaster relief, he asked him to give out half of his wealth. Emperor Hongzhi also felt that this was no less than skinning and bloodshed for a Pixiu that regards wealth as his life.

Although He Jin was very respectful and calm yesterday, when Zhu Houzhao mentioned it, he felt something strange at the time: "What did you do last night? Why don't you come here truthfully?"

Seeing that the topic was successfully transferred, Zhu Houzhao also felt that there was hope of escaping from the disaster. Now he talked about what happened last night.

But as soon as he said it was refreshing, he would easily lose his mouth and even show off: "Father, you don't know. I see that my brother-in-law doesn't say it, so I will definitely be unhappy in my heart."

"But I also comforted my brother-in-law, saying that after my father kicked his legs, I would definitely not treat him so harshly. After hearing this, my brother-in-law's face improved a lot, which shows that my son-in-law has also made contributions."

But after saying this with pride, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the entire warm cabinet was a little wrong. When he looked up, the dark faces of Emperor Hongzhi and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet were puzzled and said, "What's wrong? Did you say something wrong?"

"Yes, nothing is wrong." Emperor Hongzhi was almost angry to death and said with a grim smile: "I am not doing anything yet, I am thinking about Ke Ji Datong. The emperor really has the intention."

Zhu Houzhao then realized that he would talk about what happened after kicking his legs in front of his father. He hoped that his father would go to the King of Hell to report it quickly.

At this moment, no matter how clever he is, he doesn't know how to justify himself.

But just as Emperor Hongzhi was about to enforce the law and beat Zhu Houzhao up, Qiu Ju came over and shouted: "Your Majesty, Xuan comforted Tongzhi, and Zhongxian doctor He Jin asked for a meeting."

Yes, yesterday, Emperor Hongzhi promoted He Jin to another level.

Now he is a fourth-rank official, and he has also been promoted to the title of Zhongxian Doctor. After he has this title, he will be qualified to be promoted to the third-rank again.

Emperor Hongzhi was worried about this matter, so He Jin naturally would not disappear when he came, so he snorted at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Remember this first, and I will deal with you when I'm young."

After saying that, he said to Qiu Ju again: "Supreme him come in."

He Jin immediately met. After a while, he bowed and said without waiting for Emperor Hongzhi to ask, "Your Majesty, I am here to say goodbye to Your Majesty."

"I'm going to go to the post so soon?" Emperor Hongzhi was shocked and felt that something was strange.

But before he could ask in detail, He Jin spoke and said, "It's not that I rushed to take up my post, but to go back to Fujian to find Weichen's concubine." When he said this, he blushed for a moment before continuing to say, "It's true that Weichen's family business has always been managed by the concubine. Without the concubine's signature on the book, even Weichen can't get a tael of silver."

Emperor Hongzhi also knew this. The He family’s books were safe and clear, which was related to the strict definition of the responsible persons.

But the more this happened, he felt a little strange: "Even if that's the case, I'll just write a letter and go back. Why do I have to go there in person?"

"I want to allocate funds and then go north to buy food from two lakes and one place, and use the escort agency to transport it to Shandong." At that moment, He Jin explained with a reasonable and reasonable basis: "Disa relief is like putting out a fire, and it should be urgent."

"If Your Majesty did not appoint me yesterday, I should feel that it is not your own. But since Your Majesty has such a plan, I should plan as soon as possible and do not want to delay any more minute or second."

"Well" Emperor Hongzhi felt that it was reasonable after hearing this. After all, he had discussed the disaster relief matter with the Grand Secretary, and he really had to have food first to stabilize the situation.

From this point of view, He Jin's vision is still very vicious, and he grasped the key point after coming up. However, his performance was so calm yesterday and today, which is very inconsistent with his past reckless temperament.

But if He Jin didn't say that, Emperor Hongzhi could only encourage him with kind words: "Runde, it is indeed difficult for me to do for you. However, since he was a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he should take his family and country as his responsibility."

"Besides, now that you have opened the maritime ban again, the Ming Dynasty's wealth will only become wider and wider. There should not be too many such things that make you embarrassed. At the same time, I will reward you according to my merits and will not treat you unfairly."

"Your Majesty's grace is so great, I am grateful to you." He Jin quietly heard these words and knelt down to thank you. Then he raised his head and said, "No need to delay, I will take my leave."

Although Emperor Hongzhi still had doubts in his heart, he could not realize any problems, so he waved his hand and said, "Well, go, be careful all the way. I am here, waiting for your good news."

"I will leave, long live my emperor!" He saluted again respectfully, stood up and looked around the people in the warm pavilion before bowing to retreat.

After he left, Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, looked at the three great scholars and said in confusion: "Why do I feel that once he leaves this time, he will not come back?"

"This?" Liu Jian and Xie Qian felt that Emperor Hongzhi was joking and did not take it to heart.

But Li Dongyang frowned deeply and said, "Your Majesty, for some reason, I also feel this way. This time he came to say goodbye, it seems that he is really saying goodbye."

"Mu Bin!" Emperor Hongzhi immediately called the spy chief and instructed: "Let your eyes pay more attention to He Runde."

Mou Bin didn't understand his intentions. After all, He Jin had arranged a secret spy around him, so he asked tentatively: "How to pay close attention, do you need it?" Mou Bin stopped talking and only made a arrest.

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "No need to do this, just pay more attention in secret."

Now Mou Bin knew the right way and said with order: "I'm humble and obey the order."

In the next period of time, the report from the Jinyiwei was repeatedly transmitted to the imperial case. Emperor Hongzhi also carefully checked it at first, but after looking through it, he found that everything was normal.

It was nothing more than that after returning to Fujian, the He family collected all the funds on the books and began to allocate them.

Then, He Jin went north to the two lakes and bought grain in stock. He then escorted it to Ningbo Port and quickly transported it to Shandong by sea.

Everything was calm, and Emperor Hongzhi felt that he was really worried.

However, until early February, when a letter was sent to the imperial case, Emperor Hongzhi's scalp was blown up: He Jin did transport a large amount of food to Shandong, but others were not on the ship!

The content in the letter is also very short. The general idea is that he, a sinner, is a dissolute and unruly person who loves freedom by nature and wants to explore the vast overseas. However, as the same root as China, he has been bathed in the emperor's grace for many years and cannot bear to repay the Ming Dynasty.

So he decided to do his last ministerial work and gave up all the fixed assets of the He family to the court. He formed a huge fleet with his confidants to find a new continent with rubber, cocoa and tobacco.

At the end of the letter, He Jin also specifically mentioned a sentence, saying that Emperor Hongzhi is a good emperor. When he is ill next year, remember to treat Li Yanwen, so that no other imperial physician can get the wrong medicine.

There are countless capable ministers in the court in Shandong. In addition, his food stability situation should not be a big problem. What happened in previous years and what to do this year?

Also, don’t blame Mou Bin for this matter. He had already become a double-faced spy in the Jinyiwei spy, and this time he took them together to go out to sea.

In addition, if possible, he will come back. It's just that possibility, maybe it's impossible

After reading this letter, Emperor Hongzhi was furious!

But when the ministers in the court wrote a letter to He Jin, scolding him for being unfaithful and unfilial, and asking someone who knew the truth and did not report it, Emperor Hongzhi did not say anything, but just replied to the memorial: It is not like the people in this world, so let him go

The world is vast, and good men are determined by themselves.
