After the young eunuch left, the expression on Master Chang San's face froze instantly, and he became completely dejected.
After a while, Mr. Chang San shook his head helplessly and began to call people in to give them instructions.
After hearing the instructions from Master Chang San, his men's faces turned ugly, but they did not dare to refute.
Although someone asked the reason, Mr. Chang San didn't dare to say anything to them.
He had only one sentence, "Do or die."
So they spread the news again.
Master Chang Sanye was a well-known figure in the capital's news circles. From officials of all ranks to traveling merchants, many people were eager to befriend Master Chang Sanye because he could provide them with information that others didn't know. This information was sometimes given away, sometimes sold, depending on their preference.
This is very important to many officials and businessmen. For example, when they want to know a person's identity and family background, they will go to Chang Sanye to buy information.
Under such circumstances, Chang Sanye's business was naturally very good. At the same time, many officials had dealings with him, getting information from him or selling information to him.
For Chang Sanye, spreading rumors wasn't a difficult task. However, only Chang Sanye knew that many of the rumors weren't his, and he hadn't really thought much of the business. But sometimes, you just have to be in the underworld and be forced to do what you want.
The news about Prince Fu did not cause much controversy among the people. After all, this was not what everyone was concerned about, and the common people did not like these things very much.
However, this incident caused a great response among the scholars and officials.
For a moment, some were relieved, thinking they had found a solution. With the establishment of the secret petition system, many people were in a state of panic, but they seemed to have found a way out. They could use the secret petition system to impeach the emperor's relatives. This way, they wouldn't appear to be doing nothing.
Some people are afraid that if the secret reporting system is really implemented, everyone's life will be difficult in the future.
Of course, some people are preparing to fish in troubled waters, while others are preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to do something.
Anyway, everyone has different ideas and everyone has different positions, so they do different things.
Zhu Youxiao didn't pay much attention to this, because everything was not important. Once everything was on the right track, all the current problems would not be problems.
Sitting next to the pavilion, Zhu Youxiao flipped through the question book that was handed to him and threw it on the table with some disappointment.
These memorials did not surprise Zhu Youxiao, and even the wording was exactly what he had imagined. These people really did not disappoint him. They were not creative at all, and the general content was to attack Prince Fu and hope that the court would punish Prince Fu severely, but from time to time they would use the secret memorial system.
They were trying to link Prince Fu's affairs with the secret petition system. To put it bluntly, they were bundling two things into one, trying to make them into one.
If the court does not severely punish Prince Fu, then the secret memorial system will be a joke.
These people are forcing the emperor!
After taking a look at Chen Hong beside him, Zhu Youxiao asked expressionlessly, "Have your men started moving yet?"
"Your Majesty, it has already started." Chen Hong said hurriedly.
Zhu Youxiao frowned, thought for a moment and said, "No, the noise is too small. Things are dragging their feet now. Let them put in some effort and let everyone know that there will be some noise."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand." Seeing that the emperor was not very satisfied, Chen Hong felt a pang in his heart and quickly agreed.
He secretly cursed those people in his heart. They couldn't even do such a small thing. It seemed that these people were slacking off. He must give them a good lesson when he returned.
After this matter was explained, Zhu Youxiao no longer paid attention to it.
The reason was simple: she had other things to do, namely a grand banquet in the palace to entertain all the civil and military officials. In the harem, Empress Zhang also wanted to invite the wives of those officials to dinner to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival and her birthday.
In fact, the ministers were still very confused. After all, there would be rewards on the Double Ninth Festival, but there was no need for such a large-scale banquet; and the Queen's Day was far less grand.
Many people were wondering what was going on, after all, this was not unusual.
Then a rumor came from somewhere that His Majesty was going to give everyone something new to eat.
This fresh thing is grown in the imperial farm. It is said that the yield per mu can reach 2,000 kilograms. Not only is the yield very high, but the taste is also very good. It is a very good delicacy whether it is used for stir-frying or cooking.
The key is that this thing is of high quality and tastes good. It is said to have the effect of nourishing yin and beautifying the skin, and for men it can nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang. It is especially good for the body after eating it for both men and women.
It is said that this news came from the Imperial Medical Bureau. It was originally just a rumor, but somehow it became more and more popular, and finally everyone in the court knew about it.
Many people began to inquire about the news, and their targets were mainly focused on a few people who could reveal the news.
For example, Xu Guangqi, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, was said to have been the one who took the lead in this project, and the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the trial planting, which took place at the Imperial Farm. Therefore, Xu Guangqi must have been an insider, and everyone started asking him.
In addition to Xu Guangqi, Zhang Guoji was also frequently questioned, including by businessmen and officials, because everyone believed that he was the queen's father and must be an insider.
