Since Emperor Hongzhi came to power, he has been very tolerant of civil servants.

It is also because of his tolerance that he has a good relationship with civil servants, and most of the officials also help him better govern the country.

A country cannot be without a king for a day.

But you can't be without ministers for a day.

The huge state machine needs people below to help him manage it.

Otherwise, he would not be able to do anything if he was the only emperor.

Therefore, as long as those officials make not too big mistakes, they will generally deal with them with ease.

But this time.

Many people have been involved in the theft of Nanzhili Tax Silver.

Many of them were involved, and they wrote letters saying they were innocent or sentenced to some officials too heavily.

There were many people who pleaded with mercy, but Emperor Hongzhi did not open his arms as generously as usual.

He pressed all the memorials of pleading aside and did not respond.

Even the cabinet members hinted that he had several times.

But Emperor Hongzhi all vaguely passed.

Now that Zhu Houzhao suddenly talked about this, Emperor Hongzhi only found it funny.

Zhu Houzhao opened her mouth blankly, "Ah?"

"Father, don't you want to forgive their sins?"

Emperor Hongzhi reached out and knocked his son's dog head speechlessly.

"So why should I be soft-hearted?"

"The imperial envoys sent a few. If there is any grievance, they will write to me."

"What others say in the letter is just an action caused by interests or feelings."

"I'm not so confused yet."

Emperor Hongzhi is only in his thirties this year. He said that he is old and confused, but in fact he is also self-deprecating.

Since the last time I was infected with malaria, I have received timely treatment.

But he still felt that his health was not as good as before.

This also gave Emperor Hongzhi a sense of urgency.

I insist on practicing Tai Chi every day without any slackness.

After persevering like this, although my body recovers well, my mentality is still unmatched.

When Zhu Houzhao heard what he said, she thought his father was angry.

He lowered his face and said carefully: "Father, I am not my son, that's not what I mean."

Emperor Hongzhi was too lazy to care about this with him, so he directly pointed to the position next to him.

"Sit down."

"Tell me, why are you suddenly interested in this matter today?"

Zhu Houzhao sat down and saw that he was not angry because of his recklessness, so he felt relieved.

After I felt relieved, my face was filled with a usual smile.

"Today I'm going to find Dingxi Marquis."

"It happened to happen that something small happened to him."

"Hmm? What's the matter?"

Emperor Hongzhi was a little surprised.

Could it be that the Hanlin Academy, and that there are still people who dare to bully Zhao Ce?

Zhu Houzhao briefly talked about what happened just now.

"The Hanlins don't know how they think."

"What can I do if I put the list of implicated officials and other documents on the table of Dingxihou?"

"Is it true that Dingxi Hou really feels guilty about this?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

"Of course not."

"I think they want the Dingxi Marquis to come forward so that the court can stop pursuing officials they think are innocent."

Zhu Houzhao said speechlessly: "Father, son minister sometimes feels that these Hanlin people have some ideas..."

He leaned closer and muttered in a low voice: "Somewhat strange..."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him and scolded, "Nonsense!"

"If such words are passed, you will be filled with my table after your memorial!"

Although Zhu Houzhao is not afraid of others joining him, she will avoid trouble.

He shook his tail and smiled apologized: "My son said the wrong thing."

"Don't be upset with Father."

Emperor Hongzhi was not angry when he saw him like this.

He picked up a memorial and was about to read it, but he asked curiously: "Since Dingxi Hou knew about this, how did he tell you?"

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Ce.

After all, it was not him who ordered a thorough investigation.

But because of the canal transportation, many people disliked him.

Many of the Hanlin Academy's Hanlin Academy's silly white sweets have just finished the imperial examination and have only been on the Longmen for a few years.

Many of these silly and sweet things are very energetic.

It is certainly a good thing to be bloody, but it is also easy to incite.

And I always feel that I have become an official, so I want to protect this one who has helped him and protect the one who has a good relationship with his family.

That's why today's thing happened.

Emperor Hongzhi had no intention of using these trivial matters to attack, but he was indeed a little curious about Zhao Ce's reaction.

Zhu Houzhao replied honestly: "Horse Dingxi asked his son ministers, are those innocent people really innocent?"

"My son thought about it at that time, and it seemed that there was indeed a possibility that there would be someone who was implicated for no reason."

"But Dingxi Hou said that these officials colluded with each other, even those who were informed and did not report the information were not considered innocent people."

"As officials, they turn a blind eye to what they are around them, they are dereliction of duty and guilty!"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded with relief.

“It’s right.”

"I give these officials the power to help govern the country."

"But they turn a blind eye to what is around them, which is a serious dereliction of duty!"

"Maybe they didn't know the truth, they really didn't know anything."

"But what does this mean?"

"They are all officials in the local area who don't know what's going on around them. Do you have to count on me who are thousands of miles away to discover it?"

"So, I don't plan to stop this matter."

"But they all know that as officials of my Ming Dynasty, they should take on the responsibilities they should bear."

The more Emperor Hongzhi spoke, the heavier heavier he spoke.

It was typing word by word in Zhu Houzhao's heart.

After saying that, he smiled again and said with relief: "Since Dingxi Hou taught you this way, I will feel relieved."

Although Emperor Hongzhi was generous, he was not a magnanimous person without any bottom line.

The country is peaceful and the people are safe and the administration is clear and clear, so he can take a step back in many things.

But this time, he can't retreat.

Zhu Houzhao followed his words and thought for a while.

But he had new doubts.

"But my father, if the matter is getting bigger and bigger, will our court reach the point where no one is available to us?"

Zhao Ce taught Zhu Houzhao before.
