99 Things Villains Should Do [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 101 Origin and Lineage
Lu Jin didn't realize what the more critical issue Hu Yao said, is there anything more serious than so many corrupt officials?
Hu Yao nodded, of course there are more serious problems than this.They've been selling Dali pills here for so long, yet the emperor doesn't even know about it!
Lu Jin said calmly: "What is this, it will reach the emperor's ears sooner or later..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Jin was shocked.Such a thing happened in the capital, and the emperor still doesn't know how blocked his words are!
"Just figure it out," Hu Yao said coldly.
The king of a country loses control over his courtiers and allows them to deceive and hide. This is the real sign of subjugation.
During the reign of Chongzhen, Zhou Tingru, the chief assistant minister, said that he would lead troops to repel the Qing army, but he didn't even go out of the capital, eating, drinking and having fun under the eyes of the emperor every day.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't even know about it!He also praised Zhou Tingru's false good news repeatedly.The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty actually conspired to deceive the emperor, which shows that the bureaucratic system at that time was rotten from the root.
Now the emperor is not much better than Chongzhen.
Lu Jin let out a long sigh, it really is a traitor in power.He thought of the drought in the northwest and floods in the Yellow River in the past few years. Does the emperor really know the truth about these things?Do local officials really not conceal the local disaster situation?
Hu Yao said that the transmission of information in this era is not well developed. Even if there is no intentional concealment, if the information is transmitted layer by layer by manpower, the information in the ears of the emperor may change.
What's more, the imperial power of this dynasty has insufficient control over local officials, and the relief food funds have been exploited layer by layer from top to bottom, and there are very few things that can really reach the hands of the victims.It is very likely that ordinary people can't afford to eat, but some people throw away the meat casually.
Lu Jin's face became more serious. Looking at the pills in his hand, he silently strengthened his determination.
……
Madam looked at the Rejuvenation Pill, which was finally acquired, and said with some complaints: "This rare medicine is only effective for half a year!"
The madam was holding an exquisite brocade box containing Huichun Dan in her hand, and everyone else was sent down, leaving only her confidants.
The little maid who served the madam dared not answer. As the confidant of the madam, she knew that the madam paid a lot of dowry for this medicine, and even embezzled some of the things in the warehouse. How can this hole be filled!
Madam saw the servant girl's frowning face, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she casually ordered: "Find someone to take back all the loan sharks that were released last year, and this hole will almost be filled."
The servant girl should claim that it is, but she feels uncomfortable in her heart. I don't know how many people will die because of this loan shark.
The brocade box was opened, only to see that the elixir was glowing like clouds and smoke.
The madam is overjoyed, it is worthy of being a magic medicine, which is unusual in terms of appearance.
But the servant girl didn't know why, but when she saw this elixir, she always felt terrified.
Madam picked up the pill, put it into her mouth and swallowed carefully, and a cool feeling rushed up from her throat.
After a while, Madam's uncontrollable laughter resounded in the room.
The servant girl stared wide-eyed at the changes of the lady. The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes gradually disappeared, the sagging face gradually became tighter, and the hair became white. The image of a young girl in her youth was reflected in the bronze mirror.
"Ma'am, do you want this servant to invite the master over?" the servant girl asked in a trembling voice.
Madam gave the servant girl a sideways glance, and said, "What are you looking for him for? My Madam is so beautiful, why did you want to make that old thing cheaper!"
The servant girl was shocked, is this still the dignified lady?
Madam has been completely immersed in her coquettish beauty, with such a young body, what do you want that old man for?Wouldn't it be nice to find a few handsome young students to swim with?It's better to look in the mirror and appreciate yourself than to face that old man!
Madame suddenly remembered one thing, the effect of this medicine is so miraculous, but it only works for half a year, after that half year...
Madam made up her mind, no matter what the price is, she must save a few more of this Spring Pill!
"Quickly go and count with me how much is left of my dowry." Madam said impatiently getting up.This time, there are only ten Chundans per month, and the price is still so expensive. If I want to buy another one, I am afraid I will have to sell my dowry.
The servant girl closely followed Madam's footsteps, thinking that Madam was crazy.
When walking through the corridor, the madam caught a glimpse of the peach trees in the yard blooming again. The beautiful scenery made the madam feel more comfortable, and said: "A vision from heaven, the flowers bloom twice, this is a good omen."
The servants and servants behind the madam congratulated each other.
……
Shang Shufu.
Mrs. Cai, the wife of Liu Sheng, Minister of Rites, sat leisurely in front of the mirror admiring her youthful beauty.
"Ma'am, the master is here." The servant outside the door reported.
Cai frowned slightly, only to see a refined middle-aged man walking in.
Cai sighed, saying that she was wronged because she married in a hurry, but in fact she didn't feel wronged at all.
Her father is the prime minister, and it will be the same wherever she marries. As long as her father does not fail, she can be lawless for the rest of her life.
Cai knew she had a bad temper, so why would she marry those high-ranking and powerful families to feud with her? Wouldn't it be better to find a man who could be completely controlled by her?It just so happened that when Liu Sheng wanted to cling to him, Cai Shi followed suit, and the two of them got what they needed.
Cai has been married for so many years, is there any woman in the capital who lives more chicly than her?
After Liu Sheng married her, he made great progress and did not do anything ungrateful.Of course, he didn't have that chance to be ungrateful, and the Cai family wouldn't give him that chance either.
Is it just now?Seeing Liu Sheng's flattering smile, Cai felt bored.More than ten years ago, Liu Sheng was a handsome and handsome scholar, but now he has become a bit annoying.
Cai didn't know that in the future, the word "greasy" would be used to describe Liu Sheng's current appearance.
Liu Sheng caught a glimpse of the undisguised boredom on his wife's face, and felt panicked in his heart. His ranking in the imperial examination was too bad back then, so he moved his mind and wanted to marry a good wife to save decades of struggle.
In the beginning, when he was on the rise, he was really full of ambitions. His wife and father-in-law didn't take him seriously, and Liu Sheng didn't care either.
It's just that it's been almost 20 years!Every time he heard those colleagues who disagreed with his political views ridiculed him for being soft, Liu Sheng regretted why he was obsessed with ghosts back then.Maybe if he went on step by step back then, he could also achieve what he is today.
It's just that everything he has now is based on the relationship with Prime Minister Cai. His father-in-law and his wife are always two big mountains weighing on Liu Sheng's head, making him breathless.
Simply Prime Minister Cai is old, how many more years can he live?
Liu Sheng has been looking forward to his father-in-law's sudden death or his resignation from the bottom of his heart, but seeing his old wife rejuvenated again, Liu Sheng only feels a chill. If there is really a panacea for prolonging life in this world, doesn't that mean that? So, I will live in their shadow for the rest of my life?
In order to maintain the stability of this relationship, Liu Sheng has done a lot of crazy things. Is he going to spend the rest of his life like this?
Liu Sheng weighed this matter carefully, and came up with the idea of returning to Chundan in his heart. This is an opportunity for him to get rid of the opportunity of being restrained by Cai!
The Rejuvenation Pill, which was popular among the noble ladies, was soon known by officials in the government and the public. Who wouldn't want an elixir that can make people look glorious again!
The threshold of Qingxuan Guan was almost broken by those seeking medicine, Xiao Daotong happily counted the incense money left by these officials and lords.
The old Taoist priest of Qingxuanguan was a little worried.In the beginning, the only people who set foot here were some official family members, but those people who came here in the past few days, their identities are extremely valuable.
The old Taoist priest has already realized that the purpose of this fellow Taoist staying in Qingxuan Temple for the time being may not be simple. He should not get into troubled waters, and take the little Taoist boy to run away as soon as possible after making a lot of money.
……
Prime Minister's House.
An old man held a brocade box in his hand, and there were more than a dozen people sitting in the hall, staring closely at the brocade box in the old man's hand.
"This medicine is indeed effective." The old man said slowly.
Everyone in the hall nodded and said: "The prime minister said so." The miraculous effect of this medicine can be seen from their wives.
However, none of the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty tried this elixir lightly.
"There is a kind of flower in the Western Regions called Aphrodisiac. It can be used as medicine to make people energetic, but if you eat too much...you will be addicted! Drug|addiction occurs, and it is miserable!" A certain minister said slowly.
Everyone understood what he meant.
This time, the effect of Chundan is so miraculous, will it be like A Furong, causing endless troubles?
None of these ministers is a fool. Who knows what risks will be caused by taking this medicine for a few years?They are not women who are willing to die for their beauty, why don't they take a look first, and it's not too late to take this pill after making sure there is no risk.
Besides, Taoist priests who are really successful in cultivation will come out to sell medicine?Everyone thinks that this possibility is not very high, so what is the purpose of this priest?
Ask for money?name?Claim?Or do Taoists seek some special things, such as luck or... dragon veins?
A down-and-out old Taoist priest in Qingxuanguan can see that Lu Jin's master and apprentice have more than pure goals, let alone an official in the court.
Prime Minister Cai looked at the valuable pill in his hand and thought more.
He is old, unlike these juniors who are in their prime, there is still a lot of time to wait, his time is running out, he is extremely eager to take this pill to restore his youth, and he has other things in his heart Some calculations.
In the past, these scholars only laughed at the first emperor's pursuit of eternal life, but there is such a chance of eternal life in front of him, who would not want to try it!
Don't look at the fact that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are very cautious about the rejuvenation pill. In fact, everyone's heart has long been angry. Rejuvenation is just around the corner. How many people can resist such a temptation?
Hu Yao nodded, of course there are more serious problems than this.They've been selling Dali pills here for so long, yet the emperor doesn't even know about it!
Lu Jin said calmly: "What is this, it will reach the emperor's ears sooner or later..."
