Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 132 Death is more than honorable!

As soon as Qian Tang's words came out, the hall was in an uproar.

Faint king?

This Qian Tang really dares to say, Hunjun is the most sensitive word for every high-ranking person. This word is enough to offend every high-ranking person, and it is enough to make his head move.

Although it is outrageous for the grandson of the emperor to ask the people to burn coal for heating, but...but you can't say that, you will die!

"Old Qian, stop talking nonsense!"

Liu Sanwu hurriedly stopped. He has always respected Qian Tang very much, and he didn't want to make trouble for both sides because of this trivial matter. Everything has to be discussed. At such an age, he still acts like a hot-blooded boy .

Not wanting Qian Tang's neck to twitch, he said: "Your Highness, please take back the words about asking the people to burn coal for warmth, and I will admit your mistake and accept the punishment!"

As soon as the words came out, all the ministers present looked at Zhu Xiongying one after another. In their eyes, they also thought that Zhu Xiongying's strategy was very inappropriate, but they were not as staunch as Qian Tang. up.

Fortunately, Qian Tang is not stupid and knows how to give each other a step down.

Under the eyes of all the ministers, Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, do you know how many people are suffering from hunger and cold? Take the capital as an example. The price of charcoal is getting higher day by day, and even you are almost unable to burn it." Charcoal is started, let alone the common people?"

"Nowadays, the price of a catty of charcoal in the market is [-] to [-] yuan, but the lonely coal only costs three to five yuan per catty, which greatly reduces the heating costs of the common people. Once it is popularized, it will save How many people live!"

"Why does Gu take back this policy that benefits the country and the people?"

"Beneficial to the country and the people? Your Highness, this is a disaster for the country and the people!"

Qian Tang's complexion suddenly became tense just now: "Does Your Highness really not know, or is he pretending not to know? This charcoal is poisonous when burned! It will kill you!"

As Qian Tang spoke, he stomped his feet anxiously.

Zhu Xiongying was not annoyed, and said calmly as before: "Gu said, the coal in Gu is not poisonous, as long as the ventilation is good, there will be absolutely no problem!"

"Your Highness!"

Qian Tang straightened his neck, his face flushed, and he said sadly: "The cold disaster has already caused the people to suffer, but His Highness not only ignores them, but also drives them to death. This is a great misfortune for the country. what!"

"As a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, I eat the king's salary, so I should share the worries of the king, but I can't correct the mistakes of His Highness, I deserve to die!"

"If Your Highness doesn't take back his order, I'll bump my head to death here!"

As he said that, Qian Tang slammed his head against the pillars of the main hall, as if looking at death as if he were at home.

Zhan Hui quickly stepped forward and grabbed Qian Tang: "Master Qian, why are you doing this?"

Zhan Hui is a shrewd man, no matter what happens, it is impossible for him to let Qian Tang crash and die here.

Because in this way, not only will the Wenhua Palace become famous and cause bad luck, but it will also seriously affect the reputation of His Royal Highness the Grandson.

What Qian Tang did was just to force His Majesty the Grandson to take back his order, just like when he carried the coffin to admonish Zhu Yuanzhang to take back his decision to move Mencius out of the holy temple.

Others also stepped forward to dissuade Qian Tang.

The Wenhua Palace suddenly became noisy.

Qian Tang was already 68 years old. At this time, his eyes were red, and he cried out in a crying voice: "The sage said, what the people do well, and what the people hate is evil. Your Highness wants to be an enemy of the people. This is a big mistake. The duty of the minister is to correct the words and deeds of the emperor at any time, but if the minister fails to do so, the minister has no face to live!"

"Of course your highness has the supreme right of your highness, but the teachings of saints can be taught without distinction. As a subject, you are also your highness's teacher. If your highness makes mistakes, your subjects have unshirkable responsibilities. I hope that your highness can become the world of Tang and Yu, just like Yao and Shun. Those who remain consistent, if they can't, will be resigned from their jobs, and they will be free!"

Qian Tang spoke sincerely, with tears in his eyes.

It was the surrounding ministers who were infected by it.

In this era, a true literati has the ideal of self-cultivation, governing the family, governing the country and the world;

"History of the Ming Dynasty" has a very intriguing record: "Tang was a man of integrity. He tried to tell "Yu Shu" by his majesty, or corrected Tang Caoye who didn't know the etiquette of emperors and ministers. Kneeling is not a shame!'”

The black and white paper of the history books shakes off the images of humble sycophants and noble intellectuals so vividly.

Therefore, during the Hongwu period, literati were strong.

Qian Tang's uncharacteristic iron courage also infected all the ministers.

"Chen, Liu Sanwu, please think twice, Your Highness!"

Liu Sanwu took the lead and stood up, bowing down in front of Zhu Xiongying.

"Your Highness, please think twice!"

The other ministers followed suit and knelt down one after another.

Facing the courtiers' pleadings, the superior Zhu Xiongying remained calm, neither angry nor impatient, but smiled slightly and said: "It is impossible to change a lonely decision!"

All the ministers were startled when they heard this.

As expected, the emperor's grandson was as arbitrary as ever, and what he believed would never be changed easily.

Unless the old emperor goes out.

So the ministers have already started to think in their hearts, how to get the old emperor to come forward to stop this ridiculous thing.

"but……"

Zhu Xiongying changed the subject and continued: "If Mr. Qian is determined to die, why not die is more meaningful?"

The ministers were startled again.

Zhu Xiongying continued: "Didn't you say that Gu's coal is poisonous? Why don't you go back and burn the coal overnight, if you die of poison, it can just prove that Gu's coal is poisonous, so why not do it?"

After hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Qian Tang did not hesitate, and immediately nodded heavily: "Okay!"

The other ministers were confused. Seeing that the emperor's grandson is so confident, is it possible that he is really sure?Otherwise, how could he have trouble with a dying veteran?
"Guo Zhen Guo Xuan, send this box of coal to Mr. Qian's house."

"Yes!"

Guo Zhen and Guo Xuan took the order.

"Retreat!"

……

money mansion.

It is not so much a mansion as it is a private house with a small yard.

The salaries of officials in the Hongwu Dynasty were not high.

Especially honest and honest officials like Qian Tang actually live better than ordinary people.

The layout of the mansion is very simple, but it is cleaned very cleanly.

Tonight, it's even more deserted here.

Because Qian Tang locked himself in the study and told his family that no matter what happens, he is not allowed to come in, and he must wait until the next morning before opening the door.

The family members didn't know why, and they were terrified when they heard it, but because of Qian Tang's strength, they didn't dare not disobey.

Inside the study.

Qian Tang looked at the coals in the brazier in front of him, closed his eyes, took a breath, and couldn't help but recall that when he was 54 years old, he was invited into the capital by the old emperor, and he was appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang when he explained the countermeasures of the scriptures and discussed the way of peace. Became the big boss...

How high-spirited!
He also realized his ambition in the Ming Dynasty, assisting the old emperor to clean up the dilapidated land and restore the peaceful and prosperous age.

So at this time, he has no regrets in dying!
For the sake of tomorrow, he will die with more glory!

Qian Tang slowly opened his eyes, took out the fire pocket and lit it, and was about to throw it into the coal pile in the brazier.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

This made Qian Tang startled, and immediately scolded: "Didn't I tell you? Before tomorrow, no one can bother you!"

A voice came from outside the door: "It's me, Tan Tan Weng, I'm afraid you will be lonely, so I came here to drink tea and chat with you!"
