"Yes, not long ago, I received information from the north. Emperor Yan imprisoned Lin Sheng, the censor of Northern Yan, and then ransacked his family and exterminated his clan."
Damn it!
Is the Emperor of Beiyan so bad? I haven't even had the pleasure of confiscating my family and exterminating my clan.
Zhu Youde and Wang Zhonghou left the hotel and chatted while walking. They looked like ordinary rich people in the city, but no one cared. Who would have thought that he was the emperor.
Nowadays, there are many rich people in Jinling, so it is normal to go shopping with an old slave by your side.
Zhu Youde was surprised when he heard Wang Zhonghou's words.
Censors are very offending, just like the Lantai censors in Daliang.
Otherwise, why would he shut down Lantai?
The imperial censor is the king of verbal abuse, but it’s really rare to see someone who kills himself with his verbal abuse.
What did Lin Sheng say that got him into trouble?
Wang Zhonghou didn't know much about it: "Your Majesty, it seems to be related to the harem."
hehe!
Neuropathy.
The emperor's harem can only be discussed with a censor, but he doesn't know how to be an official.
"Zhao Wuji summoned a mentor not long ago to refine elixirs in the harem and pray for immortality..."
Zhu Youde stopped and looked back at Wang Zhonghou.
"real?"
"The old slave didn't believe it at first, but then many sources of information said this. It should be true. Zhao Wuji was refining elixirs."
Seeking immortality?
I don’t even dare to think about it, but Lao Zhao does have an idea.
It’s best to eat pills and eat them to death.
Zhu Youde didn't believe this kind of thing at all, but it was his business to eat what he liked.
This thing is also weird. But then again, there are kung fu masters in this world.
Just in case there is someone like Wang Zhonghou who can make elixirs.
"You said he won't really live forever."
"..."
Emperor, what do you mean? Do you want to learn something?
It's hard to say.
As a eunuch, he naturally had to support the emperor unconditionally, but Wang Zhonghou wanted to be a good eunuch.
"say!"
"This old slave doesn't know this, and has never heard of anyone being able to live forever?"
"No?"
Wang Zhonghou nodded, and Zhu Youde felt relieved. Since a martial arts master like Wang Zhonghou said there was no such thing, then there must be no such thing.
Then you can know that Zhao Wuji was crazy when he refined elixirs to seek immortality. It would be best if he turned around and got poisoned by heavy metals.
As soon as this man dies... the time has come for Daliang to unify the world.
Comrade Lao Zhao is really a good person.
Zhu Youde had to sigh. When he turned around, he saw Wang Zhonghou with a worried look on his face.
"You bitch, how can I be like someone like Zhao Wuji? Don't worry, I'm not interested in immortality."
Of course there is interest. Who wouldn't want to live forever? But there is no problem.
Zhu Youde came out to relax today, and took a look at the people's evaluation of him. Generally speaking, it was pretty good. Everyone knew that the emperor was trash, and he actually raped a palace maid.
Especially those who are scholars have strong opinions about themselves and have strong reactions.
As for those rich people!
Rich people are trash. After hearing his story, the rich people actually wanted to go home and give it a try.
There were no maids in their family, but there were many maids. The emperor could have maids, and they could have maids.
Your Majesty likes this tune. Is it wrong for them to learn from it?
And this kind of thing will not be long before Qinhuai River's brothels will also appear. After all, if the emperor engages in court ladies, they can plagiarize it and use it to attract customers and increase sales.
Anyway, everyone has great ideas.
But those officials in the outer court were furious.
When Lao Zhu returned to the palace, he saw a group of officials waiting at the gate of Donghua, intending to have a chat with him.
Neurosis.
"Go, go, go home through the back door."
Wang Zhong said kindly: "Your Majesty, even if you return to the inner palace, your Majesty still wants to see these people who are beating you up to see them!"
What you said makes sense.
"Then go to Qunhua Tower?" Zhu Youde thought for a while.
Wang Zhonghou hinted to himself when he was shopping during the day, but he didn't agree because he wanted to show off at that time. It's different now.
There is a reason why so many ministers are blocking themselves.
It's not that I wanted to go there on my own initiative, but because you didn't let me go home, I had to spend the night outside.
Wang Zhonghou didn't say anything and just took action. He quickly turned his horse and headed towards Qunhua Tower, where everything was ready.
……………………………………………………
But it is said that in a family in Qinghefang, Jinling, Zhou Chaozong received a report from his disciples and someone asked for an audience.
He is different now. He is no longer a merchant, but a serious official. He has also met the emperor, and he feels confident in speaking as if he has been given a boost.
Normally he is always bent, but now he is as straight as a pillar.
Zhou Chaozong was waiting in the living room. While drinking tea, he thought it was those people who came to give him gifts.
He has been very popular recently. Businessmen from all over the world want to get the shuttle. Who dares not to give him a gift? If you don't give a gift, then are you considered a human being?
Giving gifts is the basic condition of being a human being!
He doesn't have to accept them, after all, he's not short of money, but you can't help but think about it, he can still give these gifts to the emperor if he doesn't want them.
In the court hall of Daliang, there is already a Goudong Chancellor, so having another gift-giving Chancellor is not a problem. After all, the emperor doesn’t care about Goudong Chancellor, so why would he still care about a gift-giving Chancellor?
The gift-giving minister is naturally him.
Thinking happily, the person who asked to see him came at this time. After taking a look, Zhou Chaozong was stunned and stood up quickly. "Uncle..."
It's Zhou Fang who's here.
The merchants in the southeast discussed it and decided to ask Zhou Fang to come and call Zhou Chaozong back.
Don't be an official. Wouldn't it be nice to be a trader for a wealthy family in the southeast? If the emperor can give it to you, they can give it to you except for the official position.
Moreover, Zhou Chaozong's name is still on the Zhou family's genealogy.
Zhou Fang nodded, seemingly calm, but when she saw the red robe Zhou Chaozong was wearing, she was actually extremely envious.
"Level 5?"
"Well, your Majesty has promoted me in recent days. I am now a doctor in the Department under the Ministry of Household Affairs, a fifth-rank official."
"..."
Is this the fifth rank? Or is it a Beijing official? I am an idiot and want you to go home?
After confirming that it was the fifth grade, Zhou Fang immediately changed his mind when he heard from Zhou Chaozong that he was independently in charge of a national debt department.
The Zhou family is going to produce high-ranking officials.
This week Zhou Fang was very good to Zhou Chaozong when he was a child and helped him a lot, and then Zhou Chaozong was willing to have a deep talk with this person.
"After my nephew has completed this job and has been practicing for two years, Your Majesty should make my nephew a minister!"
"..." Zhou Fang's mouth tilted, you were sure, you couldn't believe it: "Seriously!"
"Your Majesty said it himself."
"Taizu once promised to treat us kindly to the wealthy families in the southeast, but now"
"During the two dynasties of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizu, didn't our wealthy family in the southeast receive preferential treatment?"
Zhou Fang nodded, that's true. During the two dynasties and sixty years ago, the wealthy families in the southeast were still given preferential treatment.
That is to say, those preferential treatment disappeared after arriving at Zhu Youde's place.
