"Xinbao, how does this debate mirror distinguish between good and bad people?"
"My uncle doesn't know. Can you tell him?"
Emperor Yongwu held the mirror as if it were a treasure.
Ming Xin nodded and said softly, "Uncle, if you are a good person, there will be a white light on the mirror."
"If it's a bad guy, there will be a black light."
"Grandpa, be careful not to be discovered by others."
She reminded.
What if the bad guys find out, snatch the things away, and kill all the good people?
Everything has its pros and cons, it just depends on how you use it.
Emperor Yongwu understood and put the debate mirror into his arms. He smiled and ruffled Mingxin's hair, "Xinbao, thank you, uncle."
"If it weren't for you, my uncle wouldn't know what to do."
Just right.
Use this mirror to see how many human ghosts there are in the court.
Pick out some of them and send them to Tongzhou for reform first. When they are almost ready, let good officials take office.
He is such a good emperor.
"You're welcome."
"Grandpa, please eat your fruit."
"After you finish eating, share some with your aunt and great-grandmother. Your uncle can't eat it all by himself."
Mingxin urged again.
Emperor Yongwu had no choice but to pick up an apple and eat it. As soon as he put it in his mouth, he was stunned.
Having been the ruler of a country for many years, what good things has he not tasted?
Just this one apple made him eat the most delicious thing he had in decades!
A wonderful fragrance fills the mouth and nose as soon as you take a bite.
It goes down the throat and slowly into the internal organs, and I feel warm all over and full of energy.
Is this the magical fruit that the gods in heaven eat?
Emperor Yongwu was not polite and ate the apple in a few bites. He was asked to wrap the remaining core in rice paper.
I wonder if if I plant something, will it produce the same apples?
He looked at the remaining fruit on the dragon table and thought that he couldn't eat any more, so he shared some with Zi Tong, his mother and the others.
"Xinbao, where did you get this fruit?"
"Can I buy it from you with money?"
Emperor Yongwu bribed.
Ming Xin shook her head proudly, "Uncle, if you like, I can give you a lot."
“You don’t need to pay for it.”
She likes money very much, but she is not the kind of person who will accept anything for money.
Moreover, there were so many in her space that she couldn't finish eating them all.
Either they fall to the ground and turn into nutrients, or they are eaten by the spiritual beasts and fairy beasts in the forest.
It would be better to take it out and give it to everyone to eat.
Everyone is happy, and she is happy too!
"Xinbao, your uncle won't take advantage of you."
"You can choose any of the things in my uncle's private storehouse that you like, and I will give them to you."
Emperor Yongwu waved his hand generously.
How can some useless things that look good but are useless compare to things that are good for your health when eaten?
Mingxin giggled. Since her uncle gave it to her, she couldn't refuse.
She took the remaining fairy fruits and went to see the Queen Mother.
After Mingxin left, Emperor Yongwu asked Eunuch Hai to come in.
"Eunuch Hai, how many years have you followed me?"
Emperor Yongwu asked in a deep voice.
Eunuch Hai replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have been following you since I was nineteen. Now I am forty years old, and I have been following you for twenty-one years."
In twenty-one years, he grew from a young boy to an old onion skin with one foot halfway into the coffin.
Eunuch Hai couldn't help but wonder why the emperor asked him this?
Could it be that he accidentally displeased the emperor?
Emperor Yongwu nodded. For twenty-one years, he was his confidant.
He took out the debate mirror, quietly pointed it at Eunuch Hai, then turned it back, and saw a flash of white light on the mirror.
Someone who is loyal to him.
As an emperor, he was well aware of the huge impact that would be caused if the function of the debate mirror were to be spread.
The debate mirror has both advantages and disadvantages, and it all depends on who uses it.
"Eunuch Hai, thank you for your hard work in serving me these years."
"Go down and collect five hundred taels of silver. Consider it my reward to you."
Emperor Yongwu spoke with emotion.
Eunuch Hai was terrified. After hearing what the emperor said, why did he feel like he was abandoned by the emperor?
"Your Majesty, what did I do wrong? Please enlighten me."
"Please don't drive me away from you!"
Eunuch Hai fell to his knees with a thud.
She was almost hugging Emperor Yongwu's thighs and crying and wiping away her tears.
Emperor Yongwu understood and said with a dignified smile, "Eunuch Hai, you misunderstood me. Why would I drive you away?"
"I just want to reward you with five hundred taels of silver."
Only then did Eunuch Hai realize that he had overthought.
After thanking Emperor Yongwu sincerely, he went downstairs to collect the silver.
This way.
Mingxin divided the fairy fruit among the Empress Dowager and the Empress.
All received unanimous praise!
She was so happy that she patted her chest and promised to have a big basket of fairy fruits delivered tomorrow.
The next day, morning.
Emperor Yongwu went to court with a debate mirror.
After the eunuch finished shouting, the ministers would impeach him and report on state affairs.
Afterwards, Emperor Yongwu said sternly, "The situation in Tongzhou is terrible. It is the most disgraceful thing since the founding of the Great Yong State."
"My dear ministers, is there anyone willing to go to Tongzhou and help the people there?"
He swept his majestic dragon eyes over the ministers below.
The ministers looked at each other calmly, and no one stood up at the first moment.
The environment in Tongzhou is harsh. The people there have been suffering for a long time, hate the officials like enemies, and are unteachable. If I go there now, what if I lose my life?
It is also said that some corrupt officials fled to the mountains and became bandits, often going down the mountain to rob and kill passers-by and local officials.
Tongzhou is now a poisonous place, and it is easy to lose your life if you go there.
The ministers were used to a life of luxury and naturally didn't want to go.
Just then!
Lord Cai, the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, and Lord Chen, the Supervisory Censor, stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I am willing."
Lord Cai and Lord Chen said in unison.
In the past, Lord Cai would not have done this, but he suddenly came to his senses and just wanted to do more for the people before he died.
This was also his ideal when he entered the official career as a young man.
As for Lord Chen, everyone knew that he was an honest official. He had the most reason to impeach the heavens, the earth, and the emperor.
Emperor Yongwu looked at all the ministers in the court and found that only two old ministers stood up while the others remained silent. He became furious!
"What do I feed you for?"
"You're eating the government's salary and living a life of luxury in this prosperous Yongjing City, yet you're unwilling to do anything for the people!"
"I have reason to suspect that if our country is ever destroyed, you will be the traitorous ministers who have deserted!"
He put a hat on all the ministers.
Now!
The ministers were terrified and quickly knelt down, shouting, "Your Majesty, we are willing. We are willing."
As long as there are colleagues they are familiar with going, they are willing to go.
Emperor Yongwu snorted coldly, quietly took out the debate mirror and shone it on his ministers.
At first glance, some people flashed white light and some flashed black light.
However, some people have a strong white light, which means they are loyal ministers who care about their country and their people. Some people have a light or strong black light, which means the severity of their crimes.
