    Civil officials paid the price for the so-called truth they insisted on and the reputation they had accumulated throughout their lives.

    " Scholars are no longer considered scholars when they enter the officialdom. They once read the classics of Confucius and Mencius and gradually became a weapon in their hands. This weapon can promote themselves and the emperor to compromise. It is always disadvantageous.

    However, this time, the civil servants finally stumbled in the hands of the emperor. What caused them to stumble was the so-called "truth" that they regarded as invincible in the past. Only then did they discover that this weapon was actually a double-edged sword.  If you are careful, you may hurt yourself.

    The stubbornness of the civil servants also made Zhu Houzhao filled with anger again.

    "Continue fasting", the civil servants, who were exhausted from hunger, couldn't help being shocked and angry.

    The initiator of this incident, General Secretary Zuo Tongzheng Huang Lu, finally knelt down heavily in front of Zhu Houzhao and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, all the blame lies with me. I apologize to your Majesty. If your Majesty is dissatisfied, feel free to complain to me.  How could it be that my colleagues in the DPRK were dragged down to this place by me"

    Zhu Houzhao smiled coldly: "Huang Qing has just been praised by me, what crime is he guilty of? I can't understand a word you said."

    "Your Majesty"

    "I just said that people who can't stand it can just walk out of the Ancestral Temple on their own. I will never blame you. Don't you understand what I said?"

    Huang Lu fell to the ground and worshiped, tears streaming down his face.

    It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to leave, it¡¯s that I can¡¯t leave.  To get up and leave the Ancestral Temple is to lose the truth and lose your reputation.

    If civil servants lose these two things, what will they have left?

    However, wanting fame, truth, and life at the same time How can there be such a good thing in the world?

    In the crowd, Li Dongyang's eyes were fixed on Qin Kan, his expression was bitter, he shook his head and sighed secretly.

    It seems like the nonsense of a young man, but upon closer inspection, this young man has a very thorough understanding of the shortcomings of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not have come up with such a sinister but blameless bad idea.

    ?????????????????????????????????????Zhu Houzhao's temperament of accepting the soft rather than the hard became more and more angry. Both sides refused to give in, which was destined to escalate the conflict.

    The fasting continued, but finally some ministers couldn't bear it anymore. After all, they were old, and they usually lived well, but they had never suffered such torture.  On the third day, four veterans fell down in the east hall. They fainted from hunger and fell on the futon, still biting their cheeks. Even their posture showed a stubbornness that would never give in.

    The eunuch hurriedly entered the palace and carried the four veterans out. Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything and just said lightly that he would continue fasting.

    The fourth day was the limit of the ministers' endurance. More ministers fell on this day, more than fifty.  As usual, the eunuchs carried him out of the palace, and his family members took him home to rest, and finally he was out of the sea of ??suffering.

    On the fifth day, more ministers fell.

    Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are some who are cheating and refuse to admit their defeat. As long as they pretend to faint and fall to the ground, they can be carried out of the Ancestral Temple, which is comparable to the Palace of Hell. It is also a decent way to go down the stairs.

    Countless ministers who had fainted from hunger were carried out. There were only forty or fifty people left kneeling motionless in the hall. Judging from their shaky figures, they probably couldn't hold on for long.

    Zhu Houzhao, Qin Kan and Liu Jin have been sitting on the Diaoyutai despite the ups and downs. So many ministers have fallen, but they are the only three with rosy faces and radiant faces, and nothing has happened to them.

    It¡¯s not good to be too calm. The three of them finally aroused the suspicion of the minister.

    Among the forty or fifty people left in the palace, Fei Hong, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up through gritted teeth, staggered to Zhu Houzhao, and looked at the three of them up and down with distracted eyes.

    The three of them felt guilty for a while when Fei Hong looked at them.

    Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth at him: "What are you looking at!"

    Fei Hong moistened his white lips and said weakly: "Your Majesty, I only have one thing to ask you."

    "What's the matter?"

    As if they knew what Fei Hong was going to ask next, the three of them suddenly panicked. Qin Kan looked around and saw that everyone in the hall was in a daze and their eyes were distracted. No one seemed to be paying attention, so Qin Kan took advantage of Fei Hong's unpreparedness and gently looked at him.  Fei Hong kicked his heel

    Fei Hong had been hungry for five days and was extremely weak. He was holding on with just one breath. His vain lower body could not withstand Qin Kan's tricks. He felt his heel being kicked. Fei Hong fell on his back before he could ask questions.

    Zhu Houzhao cooperated very well. He stood up and said with surprise: "Servant Fei also fainted! Hurry! Carry him out!"

    Tone"Why should the Za family be cut off?"

    Qin Kan glanced at Liu Jin's lower body and moved his lips. He didn't have the heart to speak, but the meaning in his eyes was very clearbecause you were already broken.

    Liu Jin¡¯s old face turned green again

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The stalemate between the emperor and his ministers was broken when Zhu Houzhao said weakly and slightly artificially, "Ah, I fainted."

    There was a sudden commotion in the palace. The young eunuchs rushed into the palace like a riot, and without saying a word, they picked up Zhu Houzhao and walked out.

    Qin Kan followed Zhu Houzhao closely with an anxious look on his face, and everyone gathered around Zhu Houzhao and hurried out of the Ancestral Temple.

    Liu Jin reluctantly walked at the end. Before leaving the palace gate, he glanced at the stubborn minister who was still trying not to faint or leave, and let out a slight snort from his nostrils.

    Liu Jin stepped out of the threshold, as if throwing away a piece of garbage, a smoking object was thrown into the palace, and then, Eunuch Liu closed the palace door very well and walked away.

    There was a dull explosion, and the hall was suddenly filled with choking yellow smoke. Finally, there was a burst of frightened screams from the ministers, angry yells, and painful scratching on the wall and slamming on the door.
