However, as soon as Zhu Jie and Li Yan relaxed a little, the eunuch hurriedly ran in.

"The emperor was called on the emperor, and Tong Haicheng, the Minister of Commerce, requested an interview, and there was a report of important matters!"

"Tong Haicheng?"

Zhu Jie frowned and replied, "Let him come in!"

Not long after, Tong Haicheng rushed in and bowed down to salute.

"Tong Aiqing, what's the matter when you enter the palace to meet?"

Zhu Jie asked lightly.

Tong Haicheng knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice: "I am impeaching the Emperor. I am impeaching the British Duke Zhang Shize. I am working on a mine in Xishan, a suburb of Beijing. Suddenly, I am working on a slave in the courtyard, and I am working on a craftsman who was working on the mine, killing one of the miners, injured thirteen people, and destroying a coal mine facility. Even the newly installed drainage steam engine was destroyed by the British Duke. As for the railway built with huge sums of money, it has not been used yet, so they have been demolished hundreds of feet. I also asked the emperor to make the decision for me and others!"

Zhu Jie's face changed slightly, and Li Yan's face became solemn.

British Duke Zhang Shize, maybe Zhang Shize is not that important to the court, but British Duke is too famous. It can be said that the Ming Empire has been founded for nearly three hundred years, and there are countless nobles, but if the most influential and powerful one is undoubtedly British Duke. Since the Chengzu Jingnan and the British Duke’s ancestor Zhang Yu was named British Duke, it has been more than eight generations, and almost every generation has outstanding figures. British Duke has mastered the imperial guards in the capital for two hundred years. He was the first confidant of the Ming Emperor and the first among the lords.

Zhang Shize's grandfather Zhang Weixian had even made great contributions to supporting him. If Zhang Weixian had not resisted Wei Zhongxian's nonsense and pushed Chongzhen to the throne, I was afraid that Empress Yi'an and Emperor Chongzhen would really be able to plot against Wei Zhongxian alone. It can be said that Zhang Weixian was the first hero of Chongzhen's ascension to the throne. The Zhang family's status and prestige in the court and the opposition was too high. No matter how Zhu Jie was born or Zhu Jie later ascended the throne, no matter how Zhu Jie struggled, the Zhang family adhered to the ancestral teachings, never turned around for Zhu Jie, nor had they ever fought for power. Therefore, after Zhu Jie ascended the throne, he respected the British Duke's Mansion very much. This was the totem of the noble group of some nobles. As long as they did not cause trouble, Zhu Jie would not go up and provoke them.

Now, today, the British Duke Zhang Shize actually jumped out by himself, attacking the officials sent by the Ministry of Commerce and blocking the mining operation. You know, this is an official mine built by the imperial court, not a private establishment by the people!

"What's going on in Tong Haicheng? Even if the British Duke is confused, how could he stop the court from acting for no reason?"

Zhu Jie shouted.

Tong Haicheng was stunned and immediately replied: "This, this minister really doesn't know. However, no matter what, the British Duke openly causes trouble and fights against the court. This is undoubtedly true. Please ask the emperor to uphold justice!"

“Be fair?”

Zhu Jie almost got so upset. You, Tong Haicheng, didn't even understand the situation, so you ran to me to sue the emperor. Is your mind flooding? This involves the first duke of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, you can just take it?

"emperor?"

Li Yan whispered: "Although the British Duke has little talent compared to his ancestors, he is honest and has never liked to cause trouble. He has a good reputation in the capital. How could he suddenly lead people to cause trouble?"

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied, "I must also understand it. If someone comes, I will send an order and immediately summon the British Duke to the palace. I have something to ask for!"

Liu Sili, who was standing beside him, quickly agreed to leave the palace and declare his order. Before he could walk out of the Ganqing Palace, someone informed him outside the palace gate, and the British Duke Zhang Shize requested an audience at the palace gate!

Good guy, before the order was spread, they came to him.

Zhu Jie immediately understood, but I was afraid that the matter was not as simple as Tong Haicheng said. Otherwise, after Zhang Shize would not cause trouble, he would have to go to the palace to see the emperor. What is the hidden truth in it? Only after asking it will you know...

"It is said that the British Duke entered the palace!"

Soon, British Duke Zhang Shize entered the Ganqing Palace angrily, not even kneeling down and looking straight at Zhu Jie!

"Your Majesty! I have something unknown, please ask the emperor!"

Zhang Shize said angrily.

Zhu Jie frowned and replied, "Duke of England, if you have anything to do, just tell me, I will listen carefully."

Zhang Shize shouted: "Emperor, since the emperor ascended the throne, I have done wrong things. Have you committed crimes or even rebellious acts?"

"No!"

Zhu Jie said in surprise, "What does the British Duke mean?"

"Then may I ask the emperor, since the Chengzu's crisis, more than two hundred years have the Zhang family members had people of two hearts?"

Zhu Jie continued to shake his head.

Zhang Shize said angrily: "Since that's the case, I ask the emperor to open a mine and set up a factory. In the future, the railway tracks pass by the cemetery, less than ten feet away from the wall. The machines roar and noisy. Even the blue bricks in the wall of the Zhang family cemetery were demolished by craftsmen, and some people drowned in the walls and even in the cemetery, blaspheming the heroes of our ancestors? My ancestors of the Zhang family will be defiled under the nine springs. This will make me face the ancestors and the earth, even after my death in the future! Please give me an explanation!"

Zhu Jie almost got angry and finally knew what was going on. He started to open a mine to other people's ancestral graves. Not to mention the famous Duke's Mansion in the UK, even ordinary people would definitely not be able to withstand such a thing...

"Tong Haicheng!"

Zhu Jie shouted, "What the hell is going on? This is what you said about the British Duke making trouble for no reason? What else do you want? Can you be satisfied if you dig up someone's ancestral grave?"

Tong Haicheng's face turned red and replied: "Your Majesty, the Xishan Coal and Iron Industrial Zone that our court has set up has long been planned. It covers an area of ​​more than thirty miles. The British Duke's tomb is not far from the factory or mine. However, I have never invaded the British Duke's dormant place in the past dynasties. The factory or mine is still two miles away from the cemetery..."

"Tong Haicheng, you a damn god!"

Zhang Shize was so angry that he ignored the emperor's side and cursed: "What, do you want to get the mine cave down the British Duke's Cemetery? Two miles? Your machine sounded and the train passed along the railway tracks, which even shook the ground, cut off the veins of the cemetery, and destroyed the feng shui of the cemetery. You want my British Duke's House to destroy the people. I will never stop with you!"

Tong Haicheng responded: "Duke of Britain, the establishment of a mine is agreed upon by the court, and the officials are just acting on orders. Since it is a national strategy, how can the justice of the country be abolished because of the personal selfishness?"

"Don't let your mother go!"
