After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

Lu Xian said: ...

Zhou Xun couldn't help coughing lightly to stop the emperor's poor behavior.

emperor:……

"Forget it, forget it, the house doesn't need to be demolished." The emperor coughed, "It will be nationalized, and it will be used as a new office in the future..."

"However, such things as selling officials and nobles are really too hateful!" The emperor said firmly, "Where else are doing such corrupt and lawless things? Let me copy them all... No, investigate and prosecute!"

Zhou Xun: ...I heard the word "copy".

He saw that the emperor's eyebrows were happy because he had made a windfall.But Lu Xiandao didn't understand this, he respectfully said: "The property seized from the homes of these officials involved has been filled into the national treasury, and the calligraphy, paintings, antiques, etc. among them have already been looked at by the subordinates, and some good ones have been selected and sent to the national treasury. In the palace... the emperor wants to take a look?"

Emperor: "You don't need to read it, let's take it to Duobao Pavilion for auction."

Lu Xian said:?

Are these no longer the emperor's favorite things?

"Yes." He didn't ask any more questions or talk nonsense, and took orders directly.

As the emperor's direct subordinate...or the eagle and dog that Bai Yuxing and others regard as a swindler, he has no need to figure out the Sacred Heart. All he has to do is to implement all the emperor's demands.

Zhou Xun felt that the emperor cast his gaze on him.

Zhou Xun:?

He soon realized that the Emperor was subconsciously waiting for his opinion.

It has always been a habit of the emperor to turn around and ask Zhou Xun what he thinks when criticizing memorials.But today he was clearly avoiding himself on purpose, and he subconsciously made this action...

There were others by his side, Zhou Xun simply shook his head, indicating that he had nothing to say.

He himself just shook his head, but he didn't know that this scene was seen by Lu Xiandao, like a stormy sea.

Lu Xiandao looked at the young man sitting on the chair, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

"...Now all the officials involved have been punished for confiscating their homes," the emperor said while turning the brush. "Then, what about the businessmen involved? What about the businessmen who bought officials?"

Lu Xian said: "According to the rank of the official, the fines were paid."

The emperor immediately sat up straight again: "How much is it all?!"

Lu Xiandao reported the number.

emperor:"……!!"

"... rich, the merchants these days are really rich." The emperor muttered, "They can spend so much money casually, these days are almost better than mine! When you wear a crown, you must bear its weight..."

"Although businessmen have a lot of wealth, but scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are of the lowest rank when it comes to status." Lu Xiandao replied, "If it weren't for this, why would these businessmen in Qingzhou engage in such favouritism and fraudulent buying of officials?"

He had no intention of speaking, but Zhou Xun listened with intention.

Indeed, in Jingguo, the status of merchants is the lowest, but the wealth they control is extremely large.Many of them are dissatisfied with a status that does not match their own wealth, so they work hard to study in various ways in order to rank among the upper class...

Vaguely, Zhou Xun had an immature idea of ​​filling the treasury.

However, he also received a scholar-official education since he was a child, and he has never been familiar with this kind of work dealing with gold and silver.Therefore, he put this idea into his heart for the time being, thinking that it would be better to take advantage of the time to find a few merchants in the capital for research, and then make a summary speech.

The case of selling officials and nobles in Qingzhou was thus solved.After listening to Lu Xiandao's report on this matter, the emperor was so hungry that he was about to go to heaven.So he laughed and said: "It's been hard work for Aiqing. Aiqing has been busy all the way, I'm afraid she's tired already? If there's nothing wrong..."

"This subordinate has one more thing to report." Lu Xiandao saluted, "It's about the orphan of Imperial Doctor Zhang who died in Xizhou earlier."

"Oh," the emperor finally remembered, "The granddaughter of Imperial Physician Zhang? Is she already in the capital?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xun also looked over.

Lu Xiandao nodded: "Yes, Zhang Lingsu is now temporarily placed in the inn. In order to occupy his family property, her cousin sold her to a lame man in his 50s as a concubine. When his subordinates arrived in Qingzhou, she was being She was tied to a sedan chair and carried to the cripple's house. Fortunately, her subordinates arrived in time. Later, Zhang Lingsu didn't want to stay in Qingzhou, so it took a while for her subordinates to wait for her to sell some of her property and pack her luggage for going to Beijing. Day. Therefore, it has been delayed for so long."

Emperor: "Then..."

"Excuse me, my lord."

Zhou Xun, who had been sitting by the side without speaking, spoke now. He stood up and bowed to Lu Xiandao, and said, "How do you deal with those thieves who framed Miss Zhang?"

Lu Xiandao also answered very simply: "I pulled out their tongues and let them get sick and die. As for the ancestral house of the Zhang family, it is naturally owned by Ms. Zhang. She was reluctant to sell the ancestral house, so she found two trustworthy servants in the local area to keep it. I came down to guard and greeted the county magistrate. Probably no one will think about this property again."

Only then did Zhou Xun feel relieved.He thanked and said, "My lord, please take your troubles."

Lu Xiandao said: "Young Master Zhou is also a kind-hearted person, and he is very concerned about this girl."

Zhou Xun smiled: "It's all about putting yourself in the shoes of others. I have suffered a lot, even if I am a stranger, I don't want to see her suffer a similar ordeal again."

When he said this, Lu Xiandao's usually stern eyes melted a little, and he said: "Ms. Zhang knows that Mr. Zhou mentioned her in front of the emperor, and she is very grateful for that. She said that after going to Beijing, apart from her own I still want to see Mr. Zhou, to see my benefactor..."

"...Since she has already entered the city, let's spend one or two hundred taels of silver to find her a house in the capital. She came to Beijing to be a medical girl? Just right, Imperial Physician He is busy recently. In preparation for the medical school, the first batch of students has just been recruited, and there is still a shortage of helpers. You ask her to take the qualification exam over there, and if she can pass, ask her to help too."

For some reason, the emperor suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two of them. When he talked about the arrangement, he was a string of cannonballs: "We will accept the gratitude for the time being, and let her arrange herself first..."

Zhou Xun: ...

For some reason, he felt that the emperor suddenly spoke faster after hearing the phrase "Miss Zhang wants to see him alone"?

"Speaking of settling in, this subordinate should have arranged a house for Miss Zhang in the capital, but Miss Zhang has something to meet with the Holy Majesty. This matter is related to Miss Zhang's next itinerary, so the matter of finding a house has been put on hold for the time being. .” Lu Xiandao said.

"What can be related to the itinerary?" The emperor frowned, "She doesn't plan to live in the capital for a long time? Then what does she want to do in the capital?"

"Miss Zhang said..."

From Lu Xiandao's mouth, came the news that both of them sat up straight at once.

"She completed the prescription left by her grandfather to cure the epidemic in Xizhou."

……

Lu Xiandao left after reporting his work, and Zhou Xun could feel that he looked at him again when he left, but although this look was sharp, it did not contain malice.So he was very calm.

In stark contrast to his calmness was the emperor's excitement.After learning that Miss Zhang had completed the prescription left by his grandfather, he walked up and down in the imperial study.

"...Really, when Cao Cao arrives, when it rains, someone will bring you an umbrella, if you want to sleep, someone will bring you a pillow. Whenever you are short of money, your house will be ransacked by a corrupt official, when there is an epidemic, someone will send you a prescription, and if you want to be in charge of the Black Clothes Envoy, someone will send you a prescription." Bring the old man..."

Zhou Xun: ...

The emperor saw Zhou Xun's sharp eyes, and changed his words in a polite manner: "Send an experienced elder who can talk and laugh with you."

Zhou Xun: ^_^

Emperor: "Other emperors are able to carry a boat with water, but also capsize it. I am just..."

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also be used for rowing!" The emperor stood up, and in the imperial study room where no one else was waiting, he put one hand on his hip and the other pointing to the sky, "I am the son of destiny! I am the golden finger! It is Long Aotian!"

Zhou Xun: ...Your Majesty, please guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

Emperor: "By the way, other people can't understand the memorial when they wear it. I wear it and bring a translator with me!!"

Zhou Xun: ...

Well, he listened to the emperor talking there for a long time, and finally the house finally collapsed on his own head.

The emperor turned to Zhou Xun, trying to gain some recognition by relying on his rainbow fart with a strong desire to survive.Zhou Xun, however, was holding health water on the ground (yes, hot water with red dates, wolfberry and brown sugar has become his standard drinking water in the palace), and said calmly, "The emperor won't avoid me now?"

The emperor was stunned when he asked: "I, how can I have it?"

Zhou Xun: ...you have it.

But he felt that saying "you have" to the emperor would make him look childish, like a kid running around the streets with sugar paintings.In order not to lower his age class to that of the emperor, he did not say this sentence.

"...Since I went to Qianji Valley just now, the emperor has been avoiding me and not talking to me." Zhou Xun said, "But what happened in the car?"

...For example, I drool on him in my sleep or something.Zhou Xun thought silently.

emperor:……

Zhou Xun: "Your Majesty?"

"I'm in a hurry to urinate." The emperor smiled heartily, "Let's go first."

Zhou Xun: ...

The emperor can be so shameless that he urinates, but Zhou Xun can't do the same shameless behavior of "then let's go to the toilet together".He sat on the sofa for a while, until Xiao Lizi asked him cautiously: "Mr. Zhou, do you want to go back and rest?"

Zhou Xun said, "Go back."

Zhou Xun followed Xiao Lizi back to the side hall.Xiao Lizi said: "The emperor said earlier that Changle Palace would be cleaned up, but it still can't be cleaned up in a while, now you are still living here in the side hall for the time being..."

Zhou Xun had no requirements for where he lived, so he nodded.He walked to the front of the side hall and found that there was water in the flower bed next to it, and a piece of rice was extraordinarily green.

Zhou Xun:? ?

He suspected something was wrong with his eyes.

Zhou Xun: "...Is this, some kind of distinctive orchid?"

Xiao Lizi: "Back to Mr. Zhou, this is rice. It is Mr. Zhou's favorite rice. The Ministry of Internal Affairs specially selected it. In order to keep them alive here, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has spent a lot of effort..."

Zhou Xun: ...the rumors cannot be completely believed. Besides, there is absolutely no need to bother about this kind of place.

The emperor did not return to the palace that day and left him a small surprise.The emperor specially selected four people with clean backgrounds and clean net worth from the new recruits of the House of Internal Affairs to be his servants (complete) and court ladies. They were two men and two women in total, and they were given names by the emperor.The two servants are named "Lele" and "Duoduo", and the two maids are named "Lemon" and "Lian Rong".

Now Zhou Xun has his own team.

Seeing Zhou Xun go back to his room to rest, the little eunuch who had been peeking outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation also looked away.

"This warm wine has a lot of ingredients, and the production process is complicated. I bribed the steward from Baicao Garden before and got some medicinal materials. Now it is still short of three flavors..." Concubine Zhao's little eunuch gritted his teeth while thinking, "Forget it, go Ask Xiaoqianzi over at Zangshu Pavilion to see if he can bring these three medicinal herbs with him when he returns from the palace next time..."

He was thinking about preparing warm wine, and he still held a whole elbow stolen from the imperial dining room in his hand: "If there are more cups that can measure the amount of concoction, or filter out the residue and only take the essence equipment, it will be fine..."
