The villain becomes a heartthrob after being reborn

Those merchants stared straight at their eyes. When Zhao Yueyao called them, they almost didn't react.

"Go back, the contract in your hands is still valid, this is what I said."

When they left the household department, they were still a little dizzy.

"This young man is too powerful, so he burned so much money?!"

"Judging from his tone, he is not from a family?"

"That's Nanyue King Zhao Yueyao, who was summoned to the capital not long ago by His Majesty."

"Oh I got it!"

.......

Once there is something in the capital, it will spread quickly throughout the capital as if it has wings.

In the imperial city, the emperor laughed loudly: "I didn't expect this kid to be so stubborn and burn all the money directly, thanks to him thinking of it!"

The chief eunuch Fushou bent down, and spoke along the emperor's side: "That's right, the King of Nanyue refuses to give even half of face to his family. I'm afraid it won't be easy in the capital in the future."

For some reason, these words made the emperor's face darken, and he smashed the teacup on the table: "Heh, who in Shangjing doesn't know that the Xuelang Paper was negotiated by the Ministry of Households, and these aristocratic families are so bold that they even This all wants to get in."

"Have they forgotten, who is the master of this country of Zhao?"

The palace servants in the hall knelt on the ground, trembling: "Please calm down, Your Majesty."

After venting the long-standing anger in his heart, the emperor felt better. He stroked the carvings on the dragon chair: "Fushou, these palace people are not doing their job well. You go to the House of Internal Affairs and choose a new batch."

These young eunuchs who were as young as flowers raised their heads in horror, and for the first time saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair so clearly.

Before they could understand why, they were dragged out and their lives were taken.

Xuelang paper was quickly sold from the capital to various places in Zhao State, and they continuously provided a lot of money to the national treasury.

With money in the treasury, many things can be done.

The emperor looked at the platform for picking stars that was being built in the palace, and laughed loudly: "In my lifetime, I can actually see the platform for picking stars."

Zhao Yueyao was very respectful: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, maybe one day he will be able to personally pick up the stars and leave his name in history."

Although the emperor knew that Zhao Yueyao was flattering, but the words spoken by such a delicate young man always had a filter, which made people feel very happy.

Caiyu next to her leaned against the emperor's arms with a smile, and poked the emperor's heart with her jade finger coated with Kodan: "Your Majesty is so fierce every night, it makes the whole body of my concubine sore and weak, and I can't hold it anymore."

The emperor is getting older, and what he fears most is the gradual decline of his body.So Caiyu was able to affirm some of his abilities, which really made him happy.

"Beauty's small mouth is so sweet."

The two walked away tired and crooked, forgetting about Zhao Yueyao next to them.

Zhao Yueyao sighed, and the eunuch Fushou shook his whisk: "The emperor has something important to do now, please leave by yourself."

Zhao Yueyao nodded with a smile: "Thank you, father-in-law."

The people who built the Zhaixing Tower were very poor commoners. They had to serve heavy corvee every year, and it was not uncommon for commoners to die in corvee, so those who had a little money chose to pay more taxes.

They are all thin and weak, so they have slower hands and feet for heavier work.In order to catch up with work, the people who watch over them will often whip them over to prevent them from "lazy".

Zhao Yueyao walked over, and the supervisor knew that he was from the household department, so he nodded and bowed: "My lord, what can I tell the villain."

"These people are all His Majesty's people, His Majesty's people, you'd better not beat them with whips at will. If you break someone, you'll have to waste manpower to clean them up."

Zhao Yueyao gave orders with a cold face, and the supervisors would adapt to the wind and nod repeatedly upon hearing the words.

"Every day from now on, I will order people to bring food to you, one meat every two days, and they are not allowed to be deducted."

Even if he felt that they were very pitiful, Zhao Yueyao would not send them money directly, at most he could only improve his life.Whether he can survive or not depends on fate.

He is no longer the sincere, reckless and childish Zhao Yueyao.

Walking along the long and icy palace road, he suddenly saw a bright yellow flower branch hanging on the palace wall.Mottled crimson, on the cold and thick wall, there is only a bunch of flower branches.

As soon as he stopped, a maid's voice came from behind him: "Prince Nanyue, please stop, the Empress wants to ask the prince to talk."

The palace lady has a long face, a silver hairpin is inserted in her head, and a small rice bead hangs down from it.In the entire palace, there are only a handful of maids who can dress like this.

Zhao Yueyao tentatively asked: "I don't know what the Empress Dowager wants from me, and I need to trouble my sister to go."

The court lady probably rarely sees outsiders. Facing Zhao Yueyao's handsome appearance, her ears were flushed: "It's fine for the lord to call me Qiu Chan. My lady thought, the lord came from Nanyue alone, and it must be deserted when he returns home. Why don't you go to the middle palace?" For lunch."

Zhao Yueyao smiled slightly: "Thank you sister Qiuchan."

Qiu Chan led the way, and Zhao Yueyao followed to the Zhonggong.Turning around by chance, I found that the flower branch outside the wall was cut off with a click by the eunuch who was in charge of flowers and plants.

The palace wall returned to its original solemnity and quietness.

Introduced into the Zhonggong by Qiu Chan, Zhao Yueyao met two unexpected people, the prince and Sang Rou.

Sitting opposite Zhao Yueyao, the two of them were also surprised.

Only the queen sat on it, as if everything was under control.

"The crown prince sent a deer to Bengong when he was hunting last time. I was weak and couldn't eat such a great tonic, so I ordered people to make venison into dried deer. You are young, you can try it."

Zhao Yueyao picked up the chopsticks and took a sip: "The mouth is salty and fragrant, it is really delicious."

Not to be outdone, Sang Rou also praised after tasting it: "This dried meat has a unique flavor compared to fresh meat. The empress has a delicate mind, and Rou'er can't compare to it."

The queen covered her mouth and smiled: "You are young, after you marry the prince, I will teach you. Since you like it, you can take all the dried deer left in the palace, Rou'er."

"Since you love this, I will let the prince hunt a deer every year for hunting in the future, and let the small kitchen make it for you."

Sang Rou shyly said, "Thank you, Ma'am."

Seeing that the queen ignored Zhao Yueyao, she suddenly felt much more at ease.Sang Rou blushed, picked up a piece of venison and put it in the prince's bowl: "Your Highness, try it."

Prince: "Gu does not like to eat venison."

The servant hurriedly replaced the prince's bowl with a clean one, and the prince looked at Zhao Yueyao fixedly: "Master Zhao, do you think this venison is delicious?"

Zhao Yueyao took a bite, and his eyes were bright: "It's very delicious. If you brush it with a little oil and roast it on the fire, it will definitely be more delicious!"

Sang Rou was humiliated in public, her face was pale.The queen who was sitting on the top almost died of anger. She wanted to give Zhao Yueyao a blow and tell him to sever ties with the prince, but she didn't expect that the prince's feelings for him were deeper than expected.

The prince's face softened a lot: "The lonely man is going to hunt a deer, and when the time comes, he will send it to your house, okay?"

Zhao Yueyao did not hesitate, and immediately refused: "Your Highness, venison is strong, and I have recently been weak and cannot eat it."

The prince's face darkened, but the queen's heart was much more relaxed. She said to Zhao Yueyao kindly: "In this case, let me send some blood bird's nest to King Nanyue. This blood swallow is nourishing and gentle, and it will definitely make King Nanyue healthy."

Zhao Yueyao cupped his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Ma'am."

Zhao Yueyao was probably the only one who enjoyed this lunch. He didn't care what the queen's purpose was, anyway, he would just pretend to be stupid.

Holding the blood swallow sent by the queen, Zhao Yueyao was sent out of the middle palace by the maid.Walking near the East Palace, a familiar voice came from behind: "You are so presumptuous in the household department, have you forgotten that Gu is your master?"

The corner of Zhao Yueyao's mouth was full of mockery: "His Royal Highness, I am just your subordinate, not your servant."

Prince: "Get ready, Xia Chaogu will appoint someone to take over your current position tomorrow. Zhao Yueyao, what you are doing now is completely angering the family!"

Zhao Yueyao didn't even move his eyelids, and completely ignored him: "Whatever, the prince can do whatever he wants."

This indifferent attitude angered the crown prince, and the crown prince sullenly asked the eunuch to bring a long whip: "Kneel down!"

Zhao Yueyao is still the prince's subordinate now, he can't defy him, he can only kneel down.

With the sound of the piercing wind, the whip landed on Zhao Yueyao's back and arms.The prince whipped more than twenty whips in a row, Zhao Yueyao's painful forehead was covered with sweat, his face was as white as paper, and he was crumbling.

"Get out."

Because the prince doesn't like to make noise, the vicinity of the East Palace is very deep, Zhao Yueyao endured the pain, limped and walked for a long time before he saw the palace people.

The palace man exclaimed, and hurriedly helped Zhao Yueyao to the palace, and called for a carriage.

Back in the courtyard, Zhao Yueyao's clothes were seeping blood, and his pale face frightened Liu Zhi and the others, so he rushed to find a doctor.

"Don't say anything, don't call the doctor, let Zhao Si bring me some golden sore medicine."

Even though Zhao Yueyao was in such pain, he still didn't forget to hand the blood swallow in his hand to Liu Zhi: "Take the blood swallow, and stew it all tonight, we will share it."

Liu Zhi wept and nodded, she had seen the world before: "My lord, this is the best blood swallow, let the servant stew a bowl for you every day, let's replenish your energy and blood."

Zhao Yueyao didn't care: "What to do with it, I feel bad when I see it."

Liu Zhi didn't want to make Zhao Yueyao angry, so he nodded quickly.Xueyan stewed a pot, Zhao Yueyao fell asleep after drinking only one bowl, and let Liu Zhi and Zhao Si share the rest.

Zhao Si turned his grief and indignation into appetite, and gulped down two big sea bowls: "I'm so mad, what kind of dog dares to hurt our lord like this, let's have another bowl."

Liu Zhi served him a bowl in disgust, and poked his forehead: "I don't know much, don't mention this matter again, the prince doesn't want people to know, there must be his own reasons."

When he went to court the next day, Zhao Yueyao was drowsy because of the pain, so he stood behind and fished.

The prince stepped forward: "Father, I have something to report."

The emperor also looked listless, sitting on the dragon chair with his head supported, listless: "Say."

The prince paused for a moment, and then said: "The king of Nanyue recently built the Zhaxing Tower for his father. This matter has a lot to do with it. From my son's point of view, it would be too hard for him to work in his original position in the household department."

The emperor closed his eyes and nodded: "Yes, what the prince said is right. After the last hunting, the prince got the armored guards in my hands, and he works hard every day to train them. I feel hard when I look at them."

"How about this, the prince of the household department doesn't have to worry about it, and can concentrate on training the iron armored guards. Zhao Yueyao, he can be directly promoted to Shangshu and lead the household department, so that he doesn't have to worry about everything, and can assign things to the people below. "

All civil and military officials in the court were stunned. The crown prince knelt on the ground and felt something out of his control for the first time: "Father, my son is young. If you do something wrong, please give me your advice and punishment."

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's taxation, financial revenue and expenditure, and Zhao's economy, which is an important real power in the court.Back then, the prince was questioned because he was in charge of the household department when he was young.

Now the emperor wants to hand over the household department to Zhao Yueyao?The prime minister could no longer maintain his usual demeanor, he knelt on the ground: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
