When Mr. Xu and some ministers saw this, they hurriedly followed.
Seeing that Emperor Hongyuan couldn't listen to Taifu Han's advice, Chu Xuanchen squeezed his fist.
If this continues, maybe the country will not be the country and the people will be attached
When Taifu Han walked out of the hall, some upright ministers surrounded him one after another.
Master Li Jin said: "Taifu, you just admonished me with death, which really made me admire. Now the country is turbulent, the people are not living, but the emperor is still addicted to the elixir regardless of the lives of the people. I am really worried about the future of Chu State!"
Dong Changfeng also said: "Yes! The country is in such a mess! Some ministers in the DPRK also searched for elixir and beauties to confuse the emperor for their own benefit, completely disregarding the overall situation. If this continues, what will the common people do?"
Taifu Han said worriedly: "There are already many people who have become gangsters due to lack of food. Once such people increase, our country will be in chaos. Everyone, we can't let the emperor continue to do this. We must persuade the emperor to let him He thinks of ways to help the people and allocate funds for disaster relief. Tomorrow and early morning, I will remonstrate with death until the emperor corrects."
"Okay, Taifu, tomorrow we will go to the sparse together with you. Everyone will join in the sparse and put pressure on the emperor, so that he will take it seriously."
"Okay, I'll go to the sparse together."
As the ministers were talking, they suddenly saw Chu Xuanchen coming out, and Taifu Han immediately said: "Look, King Li has come down! King Li has always been worried about the country and the people. We asked him to go on the trip together, and King Li was there. Maybe the emperor will listen to him."
"Okay, let's go quickly." Master Li said.
As the group said, they quickly came to Chu Xuanchen.
"His Royal Highness Li, please stay." Taifu Han stepped forward, politely.
Chu Xuanchen stopped, glanced at everyone, and said, "Taifu, please tell me."
Taifu Han sighed uncomfortably, and said, "King Li, the emperor has become more and more faint since he was obsessed with Taoism. He does not ask about state affairs, regardless of government affairs. Tomorrow I will lead everyone to continue to talk and advise the emperor. King Li, can you come with us?"
Li Jin said, "Yeah, King Li, with you here, you will surely get twice the result with half the effort."
Chu Xuanchen sank his eyes and said, "Tao Fu Han, Master Li, your feelings for the country and the people are very clear to the king. Just now, Taifu Han was admonishing death for the people, and this king was also very moved. But now the emperor is faint and indifferent. No matter what you say, he won't listen."
"King Li, what do you mean?" Taifu Han said.
Chu Xuanchen said: "The emperor can only listen to the slander that caters to him. He has been furious in the hall just now. This king thinks that this matter needs to be discussed in a long-term, and you should not continue to talk about it, so as not to offend the emperor again."
"King Li, what do you mean is that if the emperor becomes like this, let's just let it go? If we don't care anymore, Chu State is in danger!" Li Jin said in pain.
Chu Xuanchen said: "This king is the same as you, and he is also very worried about the country and the people. But the emperor can't listen to the faithful words at all now. If you rashly admonish, it will not only be useless, and maybe you will lose everyone's lives. Admonish the emperor. It’s not an overnight event, we have to find another way."
Taifu Han sighed and said: "The King Li said it is not unreasonable. The emperor is indeed going his own way now. It seems that we have to consider this matter long-term and discuss it at the right time."
Chu Xuanchen nodded and said, "Well, rest assured, this king will find another way when he returns. This king will never let the first emperor's foundation be ruined, let alone let the people be forced into thieves."
As he said, he clenched his fist severely.
Then, after everyone agreed that they would not go to the sparsely again, they all went home separately.

But as soon as Taifu Han arrived home, Li Jin and Dong Changfeng all came to the Han Mansion.
Seeing Li Jin and others, Taifu Han was taken aback.
He said: "Everyone, what's the matter?"
Li Jin said, "Tao Fu, King Li is thinking about our lives, so that we don’t want to be strayed now. But I waited and thought about it, and found that my life is small, and the rise and fall of the country is big. We have decided to continue. Shangshu, even if the emperor is offended and beheaded by the emperor, we will not hesitate."
Dong Changfeng said: "Yes! The situation is getting worse now, and it will cost me my life. I have to desperately admonish me!"
Taifu Han said, "Have you discussed this with King Li? Can he agree?"
Li Jin said: "We didn't discuss with him. We don't want to afflict King Li. There are not many people in the dynasty who serve the country and people like King Li. He must not have an accident. Once he has an accident, no one will speak for the people. , So we don’t want to involve him in this matter."
Dong Changfeng said: "Yes, King Li and his wife have been thinking of ways to improve people's livelihood. They are the hope of the Chu Kingdom, and we can't hurt them. This time, it is up to us to advise the emperor. Anyway, we will give it up!"
Taifu Han saw that everyone spoke earnestly and was very united, and excitedly said: "Well, this time the official will take the lead. Let's write the memorial notes, and tomorrow morning, we will submit the memorial notes to the emperor."
"Okay, Taifu Han, then it's settled, then let's go back and write memorial notes first!" Li Jindao.
"Well, a few people go slowly." Taifu Han said.

Rui Wang Mansion
After Rui Wang returned to the palace, he told Princess Rui what had happened at the court today.
Having said that, he said: "The king heard that after Taifu Han had failed today with his deathly remonstrance, he not only refused to stop, but he also wanted to join more ministers to seduce him. They are quite courageous."
Princess Rui rolled her eyes, and a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes, "Master, Han Taifu's move is very beneficial to you. If you seize this opportunity, you may be able to win the trust of your father."
Rui Wang narrowed his eyes coldly, "Jingyi, what do you mean?"
Princess Rui sneered: "You think, with these pedantic veterans, the emperor must have a headache now. If someone can stand on his side at this time, help him solve problems and solve this difficult thing, then this person It will definitely be reused by the emperor."
When Rui Wang heard this, his expression was cold, "You are right, then I will go to the emperor tomorrow morning to help him solve problems."
Moreover, he can also use this incident to deal with his political opponents, such as Chu Xuanchen.
"Well, that concubine wishes the prince a victory." Princess Rui said, holding a glass of wine and handing it to King Rui.
King Rui took the wine, held her in his arms, and curled his lips: "Jingyi, you are really a good helper of this king. Don't worry, when this king succeeds, this country will have half of yours. Come on, I I toast you."
With that, he and Princess Rui clinked their glasses and drank all the wine in their hands.
Hearing what he said, Princess Rui was very happy, and she was full of longing for the future.
