I'm really not doing business

Chapter 933 The craftsman went down the mountain!
Zhu Yijun never expected that just after Wang Chonggu passed away and before the funeral had begun, a wave of public opinion against Wang Chonggu broke out in the court. This wave of public opinion came so violently and so quickly that it even exceeded Zhang Juzheng's expectations.

Wang Chonggu is different from other deceased ministers such as Hai Rui and Tan Lun. He is a very complicated person and his merits and demerits cannot be judged by simple summary.

When Wang Qian rushed back to the capital, Zhu Yijun asked the Ministry of Rites to send officials to handle the funeral. However, no one from the Ministry of Rites was willing to go, as they all say that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Wang Chonggu, this towering tree, did not fall, but died, so others did not want to be involved in this cause and effect.

Holding a funeral for Wang Chonggu now would be regarded as fawning on the officials, which would be fine, but the most important thing is that they would be regarded as Wang Chonggu's direct descendant. The court officials might not be aware of other things, but they are very sensitive to the division of factions.

The core of this tree is dead, and this faction is no longer worth standing on.

There were still remnants of the Jin Party in the court. Among the many officials in the Ministry of Rites, one-tenth were from the Jin Party, but none of these Jin Party members were willing to go.

Shen Li appointed three officials in succession. These three officials immediately submitted petitions to retire. They did not threaten their official positions, but vowed to never compromise. The attitudes of these three officials were very consistent. Let them take charge of the funeral and wear mourning for Wang Chonggu, the treacherous minister? No way.

The funeral was just the beginning of this huge wave. Soon, the court officials launched an overwhelming discussion surrounding Wang Chonggu's posthumous title.

Some people insist on giving him the posthumous title of "Zhongxian", which seems to be a beautiful posthumous title. For example, Zhao Pu, the first prime minister of the Song Dynasty, who ruled the world with half of the Analects of Confucius, and Han Qi, the prime minister who served as a minister of state for three dynasties twice, both had this posthumous title.

But in fact it is not a beautiful posthumous title, because the last person who was given the posthumous title of "Zhongxian" was Qin Hui. Since Qin Hui, no one has used this posthumous title anymore.

This group wanted to take advantage of the fact that the emperor did not have a thorough understanding of posthumous titles and secretly nail Wang Chonggu to the pillar of shame of treacherous ministers. They almost succeeded because when the posthumous title of Zhongxian was presented to the emperor, no one reminded the emperor of the meaning behind this posthumous title.

Zhu Yijun sensed something was wrong. Zhang Juzheng, who had been fighting with the Jin Party and Wang Chonggu for half his life, went to the palace in the evening and explained the situation to the emperor.

Another group of people insisted on not giving him a posthumous title. This group of people was represented by Shen Li, who was a loyal minister. In his opinion, it was really difficult to evaluate Wang Chonggu's merits and demerits in his life. So he simply decided not to evaluate him and not give him a posthumous title, leaving it to future generations to judge.

Shen Li was an old scholar. In his eyes, Wang Chonggu had three unforgivable sins. The first was that his daughter married a man who was a usurper of the throne; the second was that he assassinated the king, as Zhang Siwei was Wang Chonggu's nephew; the third was that he colluded with foreign enemies and had an unclear relationship with the northern barbarians such as Altan Khan.

These three sins are all disloyalty to the king.

Shen Li was very persistent. The emperor issued several decrees asking the Ministry of Rites to draft a posthumous title for him, but the Ministry of Rites did not respond.

Shen Li was very stubborn and even went to the palace to explain his reasons for opposing the posthumous title. If the emperor insisted, Shen Li would have no choice but to retire, and Your Majesty could replace him with a minister who was willing to give the posthumous title to be the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan and in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

This resistance soon expanded to the Ministry of Personnel. It was customary to promote a loyal minister by one level when he died. Wang Chonggu was the Prince's Grand Tutor during his lifetime, so according to custom, he was promoted by one level and buried as the Grand Tutor.

But the Ministry of Personnel refused. The Minister of Personnel, led by Liang Menglong, reacted very strongly. This was not surprising. Liang Menglong was a direct descendant of Zhang's party. When Wang Chonggu fell, Zhang's party, as the biggest enemy, did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury. Instead, they promoted him to a higher position and created some resistance. This was already very merciful.

It was the chief doctors of the Dissection Hospital who carefully collected Wang Chonggu's remains and arranged for the funeral, preventing Wang Chonggu from rotting slowly on his sickbed.

The great medical officers headed by Chen Shigong could not understand why the Ming Dynasty, which valued death the most, was unwilling to let Wang Chonggu go!

Wang Chonggu worked until the last moment of his life. Even though the chief medical officer tried to stop him, on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month in the 17th year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu still went to the Xishan Coal Bureau and solved a problem of the bureau.

The Xishan Coal Bureau adopted a sharing system for water consumption in official residences. That is, the amount of water used in a month was calculated and the money was shared out to each household. This sharing system soon led to an abnormal waste. Every household wasted water desperately, as if the less water was wasted, the more money would be shared out on them, which would be a huge loss.

Wang Chonggu stopped the equal sharing system and stopped centralized purchasing. Instead, each household connected to the water source and hired water carriers to deliver water.

The craftsmen would definitely not be happy. It would definitely not be cheaper for each household to buy water from the water pit than to buy water directly from the government-owned water plant. The water plant under the Xishan Coal Bureau sold water to the water pit, and the water pit sold water to water carriers. The craftsmen bought water from the water carriers, so it would definitely be much more expensive.

Wang Chonggu went to the Xishan Coal Bureau specifically for this matter. He explained the situation to the craftsmen and forced the process to go through. He fell seriously ill when he came back, and his condition became very serious. The chief physician at the time judged that Wang Chonggu's physical condition was no longer suitable for work, but Wang Chonggu still went ahead and did it.

Even His Majesty does not care about Wang Chonggu’s rebellious behavior back then, but the court officials seem to care extremely much. Is this really loyalty to the emperor?
If it was really loyalty to the emperor, what did the emperor care about more? All the civil and military officials in the court knew it clearly. It was not loyalty to the emperor, but the Wanli Reform. The emperor expressed his attitude more than once. Supporting the Wanli Reform with actions was the greatest loyalty to the emperor and the country.

Therefore, this is not loyalty to the emperor at all, but using loyalty to the emperor and the turmoil caused by Wang Chonggu's downfall to seek one's own interests in a complex game.

"Didn't Wang Jiaping have anything to say?" Zhu Yijun looked at the various memorials on the table, slapped the table and pushed the memorials away.

The vast majority of court officials did not agree to give Wang Chonggu a better posthumous title. Their reasons were very sufficient. One of them was an old story about the construction of the Xuanda Great Wall, when the enemy invaders entered and exited the Ming Dynasty's passes as if they were in an empty land.

There are thousands of reasons to approve of Wang Chonggu, but only one thing is needed to deny him.

As the current leader of the Shanxi Party and the Labor Party, doesn't Wang Jiaping have any statement at all?

Feng Bao whispered, "He is too busy to take care of himself now."

Feng Bao brought in even heavier memorials and placed them on the emperor's desk. These were all memorials impeaching Wang Jiaping, with Wang Jiaping's self-representation placed on the top. The study in the Imperial Household Department had done its best. The Imperial Household Department adjusted the positions of the memorials to let Wang Jiaping speak first, so that His Majesty would have a preconceived idea and be inclined towards Wang Jiaping.

After reading a few books, Zhu Yijun put these memorials aside as he didn't want to read them anymore.

Wang Jiaping acknowledged the impeachment of the court officials, saying that the censors were not talking nonsense to the emperor, nor were they making false accusations; each and every one of them was true.

When Wang Jiaping was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he did not do things in a clean manner. These dirty deeds have made Wang Jiaping very passive now.

Guangdong and Guangxi at that time were still semi-barbaric places. Wang Jiaping was in Guangdong and Guangxi at that time. Because of his tyranny, he was almost a local tyrant. He was not clean.

The first is bribery. Some people gave a lot of silver to Wang Jiaping in order to do something. The amount involved was 170,000 silver. At that time, he had to take the money because some merchants who went out to sea were uneasy. Now it seems that he was just making money.

If Wang Jiaping refused to take it, these merchants would be worried about being robbed by pirates when they went out to sea. These pirates might be from other countries, or they might be foreign soldiers from Guangzhou, military garrisons, or patrol archers from the Coastal Defense Inspection Office. In this era, the boundary between soldiers and bandits was rather blurred, especially at sea.

This money was protection money. Wang Jiaping took it and gave most of it as a reward to the soldiers to comfort them and remind them not to act recklessly and to protect the coastal environment.

The second is to raise pirates. As the gateway to the Nanyang region of the Ming Dynasty, Nanyang is not peaceful at all. Some pirates want to surrender but have no way to do so. The Wang family kept some pirates and specifically lobbied them to surrender and then go to Luzon. This caused a huge problem. The censors generally believed that this was human trafficking!

These surrendered pirates were sent to Luzon, which was short of people. Luzon used copper mines to redeem them and sent them back to Guangzhou. They all became Wang Jiaping's political achievements!
This incident echoes the first incident.

The third is that he was not strict with his subordinates. After Wang Jiaping left, Guangzhou prefect Wan Wenqing immediately returned to his old ways. It was almost common knowledge that Wan Wenqing liked to visit brothels. After Wang Jiaping left Lingnan, Wan Wenqing immediately lost all restraints. He loved beauties from all over the world the most and often went in and out of these places of brothels.

Normally, these things are just romantic affairs, but at such a critical moment, Wan Wenqing's personal morality as a disciple becomes a problem.

The fourth thing is to form a clique. The leaders of the Labor Party and the Shanxi Party have a lot of people in the Foshan Iron Pan Factory who are considered to be Wang Jiaping's cronies.
The fifth thing is to take advantage of the emperor's favor and steal the power of the country for personal gain. This is about Wang Jiaping's reform of the salt system in Guangdong and Guangxi. This matter is complicated. Wang Jiaping relaxed some control over salt and no longer completely monopolized the state-run business, allowing salt to flow more smoothly to Guangxi, Jiangxi and other places;
"This is forcing Wang Jiaping and Wang Chonggu to cut ties. As long as Wang Jiaping submits a memorial saying bad things about Wang Chonggu, Wang Jiaping can get away immediately." Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial in front of him and sighed.

Wang Jiaping's five things seem serious, but they are really nothing. Who doesn't have such things under his butt when serving as a governor in various places? Even Shi Xingyan is like this. He is not so clean in Gansu.

As a governor, if you don't do this, you won't be able to gain a firm foothold. Without some tricks in your hands, who would take you seriously as a governor?
As long as Wang Jiaping is willing to cut ties with Wang Chonggu, these criticisms will immediately subside, as if they had never appeared.

At this time, Wang Jiaping still refused to cut ties with Wang Chonggu in his self-examination, insisting that he was blinded by greed and that it was all his fault, and asked His Majesty to punish him severely.

Wang Jiaping has already done very well for Wang Chonggu.

"Wang Ci Fu has Wang Jiaping as his successor, but Yuan Fu doesn't even have a successor. Now that Yuan Fu has fallen, will this wave be even more violent?" Zhu Yijun sighed.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Feng Bao frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has always believed that death is the greatest thing. Even if Yan Song died, everyone stopped attacking him and instead praised his beautiful handwriting, saying that he was also a paperhanger at the time, and encouraged him to support it."

"This surging offensive came out of nowhere."

"I actually expected that there would be voices of opposition, but I didn't expect the wave to be so big. This wave is a bit too turbulent." Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Go on."

Feng Bao bowed his head and said, "Why? I think that such a big fuss must have a purpose and benefit. Is it for Wang Chonggu's posthumous reputation? I think the fundamental purpose is for the government factory."

"In the 1200th year of the Wanli reign, the profits handed over by the government factories such as Womagang, Shengzhou Factory, Jiatieshan, Taotushan, Xishan Coal Bureau, Yongding, Yongsheng, Lanzhou Woolen Factory, and Jiangnan Weaving Factory totaled more than million silver coins."

Ever since this turmoil began, Feng Bao felt that something was wrong. This wave was not aimed at Wang Chonggu's posthumous reputation. Wang Chonggu was already dead. The real purpose of this turmoil was to put an end to Wang Chonggu's politics.

Zhu Yijun immediately sat up straight and said solemnly, "You are not spreading rumors. As soon as Wang Cifu left, Wang Jiaping was impeached and unable to handle affairs. People in all government factories immediately began to panic."

"The already fragile government-owned factories will immediately become unsettled, with too many people for the right tasks. Coupled with the fact that the government-owned factories themselves are bloated and rigid, I'm afraid that the government-owned factories that still have to hand in profits this year will slowly fall into decline."

"This has been going on for more than a decade. The government-run factories are not doing well and the court is unable to support them."

"Your Majesty, I have a solution." Feng Bao said in a low voice: "Call Ling Butang back from Korea and let him take over as the Deputy Prime Minister. Korea has gradually stabilized. Ling Butang is old and will appear ruthless if he stays outside. Call Ling Butang back and the turmoil will subside."

“Although Lingbudang is not a member of the Jin Party, Lingbudang is a member of the Labor Party.”

Ling Yunyi, the governor of Korea and Shandong, was considered a murderous maniac in the eyes of court officials. Ling Yunyi formed several engineering regiments in Shandong and Henan. The lieutenant generals of the twelve engineering regiments in Longkaichi Road were all Ling Yunyi's foreign soldiers.

Ling Yunyi is very tough and can also solve a problem that is difficult to solve at the current stage.

"Your Majesty, because of Wang Ci Fu, the Labor Party and the Jin Party are completely mixed together. At this time, we need someone with strong skills to be the leader of the Labor Party and completely separate the Jin Party and the Labor Party. Ling Butang is the most suitable candidate." Feng Bao stated his reasons again.

The reason why it was so difficult for Wang Chonggu to handle the funeral was because the Labor Party still retained some of the Jin Party's background. However, the two factions blamed each other, and both felt that the other party was not being able to make any progress by taking the lead.

Ling Yunyi has extensive experience in large-scale construction, especially in the construction of highways. He was involved in both the Jingkai Highway and the Longkai Highway.

"Send the imperial edict to the cabinet and summon Ling Butang back to the capital immediately." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and issued an urgent decree. Zhu Yijun tapped his fingers on the table. After a long time, he spoke: "Before Wang Cifu passed away, he said that Wang Qian should retire and live in seclusion. I was surprised at that time. Could it be that in Wang Cifu's eyes, I can't even protect Wang Qian?"

"I underestimated this storm. I will call Ling Bu Tang back to the capital first and then discuss other matters."

Zhu Yijun found Zhang Juzheng very strange. Apart from not letting Wang Chonggu make a fool of himself in terms of posthumous title, Zhang Juzheng had not made any statement on this matter. His silence was also a kind of attitude.

Zhang Juzheng is waiting.

Wang Qian returned to the capital on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. It took him fourteen days to get there. On the day he arrived, it started to drizzle and slowly turned into sleet. Wang Qian did not stop at all and returned home, where he saw his father lying in the coffin.

According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, if there was a funeral, the body should have been buried on the seventh day, but no one was holding a funeral, so the body was kept for fourteen days.

Wang Qian stayed in the mourning hall to keep vigil for his father. Under the dim oil lamp, he sprinkled paper money into the brazier. The flickering flames illuminated Wang Qian's face. His expression was quite cold. He lit the paper money and whispered, "Dad, I am unfilial. I didn't see you for the last time. Seventy is a rare age. It's a happy funeral. But I still feel sorry for you. I think it's not worth it."

"I dare not say that Dad has devoted himself to the Ming Dynasty, but since the Wanli Reform, without Dad, the Reform would definitely not have been so smooth. Moreover, Dad has not made a penny from the official factories, highways, and major projects over the years. Why is he being scolded over and over again?"

"Those dogs in the various newspapers are barking like they smelled shit, saying that if it weren't for your majesty's wisdom, our Wang family would have usurped the throne, and that my father was Sima Yi."

"You can curse me if you want to, but you can't curse me so badly. Even if you don't appreciate my contribution to Ming Dynasty, you can't curse me like that."

Wang Qian started to cry as he spoke. He hurried back to the capital. He didn't get to see his father for the last time. There was no one to hold a funeral for his father, no posthumous title, and even many of the servants in the house ran away for fear of getting into trouble.

Wang Jiaping could hardly protect himself. Those members of the Jin Party who had relied on his father in the past were now silent. Even during the fourteen days that his father's body was kept in reserve, not a single official came to visit.

Wang Qian even complained to the emperor, "Didn't you promise to protect the Wang family? Is this the only way to protect it?"

But Wang Qian felt it was very reasonable. Zhang Siwei had stabbed the king and killed him, and had set fire to the palace, both of which were rebellions. Yet the emperor could collect a strand of his hair and allow the Wang family to prosper until now. This only showed how capable Wang Chonggu was. He was already one of the rare benevolent kings in the world.

Wang Qian felt aggrieved. The miscellaneous newspapers, published articles, and public discussions all made Wang Qian think that his father was really a bad man, but not as bad as Sima Yi.

While throwing paper money, Wang Qian said, "Dad wrote me a letter asking me to retire. I will listen to you and retire tomorrow to keep vigil for you."

"In this case, our family has nothing but a little money that people are eyeing. Tomorrow, I will give all the money in the family to the treasury. No one will be eyeing it. I will take the children and my father back to Puzhou."

Wang Qian didn't cry out loud, but he just kept shedding tears.

What made Wang Qian most uncomfortable was that his father could not be buried in the Xishan Mausoleum to be buried with His Majesty. This was what his father had always wanted.

Even if his rank was lower, even if the archway on the Chonggu Road was demolished and he was buried in the Western Hills Mausoleum, it would be the final word, his merits outweighed his faults, and he could rest in peace in this life.

"Alas." Wang Qian sighed again. The imperial family is the most ruthless, but Your Majesty is a little too ruthless.

Chen Mo stood in the dark and watched the whole scene clearly. He actually wanted to remind Wang Qian that walls have ears.

This nagging, especially the last sentence about carrying the coffin back to the hometown, was somewhat resentful towards His Majesty, but Wang Qian, a playboy, knew that walls have ears. After all, Chen Mo was standing in the dark, not hiding, and Wang Qian knew very well that he was here.

Wang Qian's mumbling was actually complaining to the emperor, which was a bit disrespectful.

Obviously, Wang Qian had completely broken down when he saw that no one was attending his father's funeral.

"Master, Master! The archway of Chongguchi Road has been pushed down! The inscription on the Chongguchi Road has also been smashed!" A servant in mourning ran and crawled into the mourning hall and said in panic.

"I understand. Just tear it down and destroy it. It's not a good thing." Wang Qian couldn't stop crying as he spoke.

That was the thing his father was most proud of during his lifetime. Except for the highway from the capital to Shanhaiguan called Chonggu Highway, there were no other highways in the Ming Dynasty named after people.

Wang Qian wiped his tears with his sleeves, his face was covered with dust and tears, making him look particularly miserable.

Wang Qian knew that the emperor had summoned Ling Yunyi to return to the capital, but Ling Yunyi had not taken any action since his return. All of a sudden, these clamoring insects became even more daring and even smashed the archways and inscriptions on the Chonggu Chidao Road.

"Dad!" Wang Qian burned a stack of paper money, knelt on the ground, and cried heartbreakingly.

At this moment, he clearly realized that his father had lost the bet, and Wang Qian had also lost the bet. Betting that the emperor had a conscience was the biggest failure of the Wang father and son in their life in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Your Majesty may look different from other emperors, but in the final analysis you are still the same.

Chen Mo glanced at Wang Qian who was lying on the ground crying, and remembered Wang Chonggu’s last words: Wang Qian could not defeat these insects. The saying “No one knows a son better than his father” is absolutely true.

Wang Qian is just a playboy who takes refuge with his father and takes advantage of his father's power. When it comes to the infighting in the court, Wang Qian is really no match for him.

Chen Mo was born in a humble family. He worked hard on the grassland for five years before he was able to enter the Zhenfusi Yamen. Over the years, he has been investigating criminal cases. Even Chen Mo knows that His Majesty is accumulating strength at this time, but Wang Qian's behavior is obviously a little out of control.

In a complex game, the more anxious you are, the more miserably you lose.

Chen Mo asked the imperial guards to watch and reported back to Tonghe Palace. After Zhu Yijun learned of Wang Qian's attitude, he was not angry. He could only say that Wang Chonggu and his son were exactly the same.

Wang Chonggu is irritable, and Wang Qian is similar. They are easily influenced by their emotions in everything they do.

Zhu Yijun was in a bad mood, but he did nothing. He was waiting, Ling Yunyi was waiting, and Zhang Juzheng was waiting too.

The insects made a fuss about Wang Chonggu's affairs after his death. Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng, Ling Yunyi and other old foxes also made a fuss about Wang Chonggu's affairs after his death, but their goals were completely different.

"The biggest problem with Xiao Wang is that he is too impatient. This won't work. If he does this, the best he can do is become a prefect. He won't be able to move up any higher. After this time, he won't be so impatient." Zhu Yijun said to Feng Bao.

Zhu Yijun is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a reversal of the situation. If he doesn't wait, he will reverse the situation himself!

He kept his word and promised to protect Wang Chonggu's affairs after his death, and he would definitely do so.

On the morning of the 18th, Xu Chengchu brought a group of imperial censors to the Xishan Coal Bureau, under the order of Lu Guangzu, the chief censor of the Censorate, to investigate the corruption of Wang Chonggu, who had been the general manager of the Xishan Coal Bureau for many years.

Before Xu Chengchu left, Lu Guangzu's order was very strange: if the situation turns bad, run away immediately.

When Xu Chengchu arrived at the government factory, he understood why Lu Guangzu gave such a strange order. The craftsmen looked at him with extremely ferocious eyes. The craftsmen holding hammers looked at Xu Chengchu's head as if it was an anvil. When Xu Chengchu walked through all the workshops, these craftsmen looked like they were going to kill him.

Wang Chonggu is part of the God of Water and Fire. This respect is spontaneous among the craftsmen, because Wang Chonggu is really good to the craftsmen. The craftsmen are well aware that there is a world of difference in treatment between the craftsmen living in the official factory and those outside the factory.

There was a craftsmen's conference at noon on the 18th. Xu Chengchu originally wanted to go to the conference and ask the craftsmen to report and expose clues, but he rolled his eyes and ran away with a few censors.

What the hell! If he doesn't leave now, the craftsman will really use his head as an anvil and hammer!

Xu Chengchu is a stubborn person, but not stupid. The craftsman's anger has reached its peak.

Several co-directors and agents were still chattering about maintaining production, when a craftsman suddenly stood up and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense here. I'm going to Chang'an Gate to ask these scholars what they want to do with Wang Ci Fu!"

"You have no conscience, but I do!"

When the craftsman left, he took an iron chisel, another craftsman followed him and took an iron rod, and another craftsman took a hammer.

The craftsmen left the auditorium, first in groups of three or four, then in large groups, and finally, on the 18th, there was not a single craftsman left in the auditorium of the Craftsmen's Conference.

Xu Chengchu ran very fast, wishing he had four legs. He already knew his mission, which was to light the fuse of the powder keg!

Because he saw the craftsmen going down the mountain along the road from Xishan Coal Bureau to Xizhimen Coal Market!

The craftsman has gone down the mountain!
"Whoever lit the fire must put it out." Zhu Yijun received the message quickly, removed the captain of Xizhimen, opened the way for the craftsmen to go down the mountain, and issued a memorial to the cabinet to convey his instructions.

He mobilized two infantry battalions into the capital in the morning and blocked the entrance to Tonghe Palace. These craftsmen could not get into Tonghe Palace. As for who would be unlucky, he didn't care. Zhu Yijun wanted to see a river of blood!
Zhang Juzheng requested an audience with the emperor, but Zhu Yijun said that he was not in Tonghe Palace and refused.

But the emperor did not let Zhang Juzheng leave, but kept him in Tonghe Palace.

Zhang Juzheng was sitting in the West Flower Hall drinking tea. He was not in the mood to drink tea, but felt helpless. These insects, why would they bother His Majesty for no reason? Is His Majesty someone they can mess with?

Your Majesty must bear this injustice. What is the point of all the hard work for the past 17 years? They still want to force Your Majesty to bow down. Your Majesty doesn't even need to do anything to control these insects.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wang Qian went to Xizhimen and stopped the craftsmen who were going down the mountain!" A eunuch rushed into the imperial study and said loudly.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yijun sighed, shook his head and said, "This child is still too kind-hearted."
