Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment. Putting aside that Xiao Ran was now his immediate boss, Zhu Yuanzhang still had to seriously consider what Xiao Ran said.

From a historical perspective, Xiao Ran knew far more than Zhu Yuanzhang knew.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials deep down, he felt a little worried at this time.

"Xiao Ran, what you said makes sense."

"This time, we will listen to you." He sighed. Now facing this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang had to make a temporary compromise.

Xiao Ran snapped his fingers: "That's right, Wei Zhongxian can be used at this time, and this big explosion must not be a sin."

"Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. This time so many people died for no reason. The emperor issued a sinful edict, which is to go in the direction of losing the hearts of the people."

"But for this matter, we have to find a scapegoat."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran's hand gently tapped the wood of the table, thinking slightly in his heart.

But what he said made Zhu Yuanzhang slightly startled, and the look in his eyes became a little deeper.

Zhu Yuanzhang had always respected Xiao Ran before. On the one hand, it was because Xiao Ran's understanding of history could help Zhu Yuanzhang avoid many detours.

On the other hand, because he is the chairman of Super Dimension Company, he holds the power of life and death in his hands.

If Xiao Ran becomes unhappy one day and gets stuck in the task, Zhu Yuanzhang will have no place to cry.

"Then what are you going to do, Mr. Xiao?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Xiao Ran with a bit of expectation in his eyes.

Now she finally understood who the big and small kings were.

Taizu had to listen to what he said in front of Mr. Xiao.

"Then let's see who doesn't like it. Find someone to be the scapegoat, and then say that someone is deliberately treasonous, wants to seize the throne, and takes the opportunity to disrupt the imperial city in order to wait for an opportunity..."

Before Xiao Ran finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Youxiao had already understood what he meant.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very good at making up charges for people, and he had done it many times before.

Ahem, tacit understanding, tacit understanding...

It wouldn't be nice to say it.

"Xiao Ran is such a kid, he has so many evil ideas." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and patted his thigh, then took a few steps forward and walked in front of Xiao Ran.

"Come on, let's take a look first and see who doesn't like it!"

"Xiao Ran, do you have a good candidate?" Zhu Yuanzhang has already begun to take on the role and choose to be taken advantage of.

If we don't seize this opportunity, where can we wait?

"Perhaps, you can choose not just one person, but many people." Zhu Youxiao, who had no sense of presence just now, stood up. He just thought for a moment and then wrote down a list of names. .

Xiao Ran took a look and found that some of the people's names looked familiar, but most of them had never been heard of before.

He and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other: "I have never heard of many of the people on this list. Not all of them can still be well-known after thousands of years."

"Maybe there are still traces of them in history, but we have to go back and check them one by one."

In fact, what Xiao Ran didn't say was that in a situation like this, it would be possible to find out later, and there probably wouldn't be much information about these people.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also thought of this, and simply waved his hand and said: "In that case, then I will do as you say."

Zhu Yuanzhang also recognized this list.

……

Wait until the three of them arrive in the main hall.

Zhu Youxiao clearly saw that there were many fewer ministers in the court.

Even though he has left many things to Wei Zhongxian over the years, Zhu Youxiao still knows a lot about government affairs.

"All you dear friends are here," Zhu Youxiao said.

The ministers kneeling on the ground were all in tears, and their tears couldn't stop falling.

He shouted in despair: "Your Majesty! I am waiting for you, I almost missed your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, these... colleagues who have not yet come are either dead or seriously injured."

"We, who were slightly injured, all rushed to the palace and asked His Majesty for a countermeasure."

"This gunpowder factory exploded, causing countless casualties, and it was like a hell on earth outside. Now that the people are in turmoil, I hope your majesty will issue an edict to punish you!"

As soon as these ministers arrived, they cried and made a lot of noise. I am afraid they were all frightened and lost their composure in front of the emperor.

But this also made Zhu Youxiao feel unhappy when he looked at it.

Especially after listening to Xiao Ran's words before, and now listening to these ministers asking him to issue a sinful edict, he became even more unhappy.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiao Ran, who were standing behind the screen, listened to the words of these ministers and frowned in unison.

What's going on?

The first time he didn't care about the emperor, he came to complain, and even more pressured the emperor to issue an edict to punish himself?

"Your Majesty's True Dragon Holy Body, are you still in good health?" At this time, a different voice sounded.

But many ministers' eyes fell on him, but most of them were filled with hatred.

This was Wei Zhongxian. He took a step forward and his eyes fell firmly on Zhu Youxiao.

He was in the house when the explosion occurred. Fortunately, he was far away from the center of the explosion and only suffered some minor injuries and shock.

Then he immediately rushed towards the palace. Along the way, Wei Zhongxian's heart was beating continuously. Even though he knew that nothing serious would happen to the emperor at this distance, he couldn't help but worry.

The emperor was not only the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but also Wei Zhongxian's support.

So many times he was unwilling to embarrass the emperor, and worked hard to collect taxes, and even contributed money himself when going to war. Only when the emperor's rule was stable, his status would be stable.

But the Donglin Party members were different. They all talked about caring about the country and the people, but when Emperor Chongzhen came to power, after Wei Zhongxian's death, the national treasury was short of money, and none of them could be seen doing anything.

Not to mention paying out of pocket and using your own money to replenish the national treasury.

"I am safe and sound."

Listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, Zhu Youxiao felt a little more comfortable.

This guy does do some troublesome things, but in terms of loyalty, he is indeed the first.

"Your Majesty is fine, so I can rest assured. However, the explosion in the gunpowder factory here was not your fault, so why should your Majesty come and issue an edict to blame yourself?"

When Wei Zhongxian said this, he turned to look at the civil and military ministers of the court and snorted in his heart.

"Why don't we send someone to investigate and find the cause of the explosion."

As soon as Wei Zhongxian said this, those Donglin Party members who had different political views from him couldn't help but jump up and down.

"I have already sent people to investigate this matter. Everyone in the gunpowder factory was naked when they died. It is so bizarre. Isn't it a warning and punishment sent by God?"

This person also came prepared and fought hard.

Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly: "Perhaps the fabric of the clothes was too fragile and was destroyed by the explosive gunpowder. The wood and stone sculptures were blown away without a trace, and they were razed to the ground for several kilometers. Is this strange?"
