After a few more days, the emperor felt relieved when he found that Chu Junye hadn't moved after arriving at the border, and decided to go out of the palace to play for a few days.

After the news was known by officials from all over the country, they began to rectify the areas they governed one after another, trying to let the emperor see the good side, so for a while, there were many fewer refugees on the street.

At this moment, in the government office of Yanzhou City, a man was standing in front of the hall with an anxious expression on his face. While looking at the man beside him, he asked anxiously, "What should I do? The emperor is coming soon." , you have an idea for this government!"

This man's surname is Zhou Minglong, and he is a magistrate of Yanzhou City. Since he took office, he has been harsh and brutal. He only accepts money but ignores it in adjudicating cases. He has embezzled 10 taels of money from the people in just a few years. Tight, but there is nothing to do with him, because this person is the cousin of the current queen, who is under the special care of the current queen, who would dare to mess with him?

But it's not that no one filed a complaint, it's just that they were stopped before the pleadings were handed over, or Zhou Long learned about it in advance and beat them to death. Therefore, after that, although the people suffered terribly, they No one dared to sue him casually anymore, so Zhou Long enjoyed a lot in this small Yanzhou city, known as the local snake.

At this time, the man next to Zhou Long seemed to have thought of something, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the student has an idea and I don't know if it can be done, why don't we..." Then he leaned into Zhou Long's ear and said his idea.

This person is Zhou Long's master, named Liu Hui, and he is not a good person. He has been in collusion with Zhou Long for a long time. Most of what Zhou Long did was his idea, because he has Zhou Long as his backer. Therefore, the people did not dare to do anything to him.

After Liu Hui finished speaking, Zhou Long nodded in satisfaction, and his anxious face was replaced by a smile, but there was a bit of sinister taste in that smile.

The next day, the beggars and some old people and children on the streets of Yanzhou City disappeared inexplicably. After that, every family received a warning from Zhou Long not to tell the emperor about his deeds, otherwise the whole family would be in danger.

After the order was done, Zhou Long was completely relieved. Although the current emperor has a reputation of being obsessed with beauty and stupidity, Zhou Long is not sure that he will definitely favor him, so he is still cautious, and he will test it out.

A few days later, the emperor came to Yanzhou City and saw that there were no messy things on the street, and there was no bad scene, so he nodded repeatedly, praised Zhou Long without saying a word, and rewarded a lot of gold and silver treasures, and called Zhou Long Long smiled from ear to ear.

At the same time, in the border barracks, when Chu Junye came back from practicing soldiers, he heard Liang Yongye report to him about the emperor's recent visit to the palace, and also heard that Zhou Long, the magistrate of Yanzhou City, had abused his power to imprison innocent people privately in order to threaten everyone It is not allowed to tell the emperor about him.

Hearing this, Chu Junye frowned deeply. He had only been away for a long time, and the emperor couldn't wait to go out to play in the palace. Sure enough, he was watching him too closely in Beijing, and he relaxed after he left?But that's good too, he can relax, and so do they, so as not to look at each other and hate each other.

Speaking of Zhou Long, Chu Junye had heard about it when he was in the capital. At that time, he only heard that he was a relative of the empress, and his reputation was not very good. Who knows that this person is so cruel and unscrupulous after hearing about it today.

Since he desperately wanted to protect his fortune, how could Chu Junye not allow him to do so?Chu Junye sneered, the empress had been cruel to them all the time, so naturally he couldn't let the magistrate go!

Thinking of this, he beckoned Liang Yongye to come over, told him the strategy he had just thought of, and asked the guards to collect evidence of Zhou Long's embezzlement*, and hand it over to the emperor when the time was right.He wanted to see how his brother would do this matter.If it is handled properly, that is the best, if you want to cover up, then...

After finishing speaking, Liang Yongye nodded and left. Chu Junye stood where he was, with a cold smile on his lips, then quickly put it away, and went into the house.

On this day, the emperor was going to go to the streets to see how the people in Yanzhou City lived, so he took some attendants and walked down the street in casual clothes. Before he had gone far, he heard a shrill woman exclaiming The sound sounded not far away.

He came closer to look, and it turned out that this woman wanted to sell herself to bury her father, and was being expelled by the government. The emperor saw the extraordinary appearance of the woman, and shouted: "Stop!"

The people in the government had winks, and when they saw that the emperor was coming, they hurriedly knelt down without daring to make a sound, and their kneeling bodies trembled slightly.

The emperor glanced at them coldly, and regardless of their kneeling, he walked up to the woman, raised her chin with his fingers, and looked at her carefully. Although her face was a little dirty, she was indeed a rare beauty.The emperor smiled with satisfaction, it seemed that he could have one more person in his harem.

Thinking of this, the emperor said to the woman: "I will bury your father for you, but there is one condition, you enter the palace to be my concubine, and promise with your body, how about it?"

The woman was trembling with fright. She had heard that the emperor was going out of the palace to play, but she never thought that one day she would also be able to enter the palace as a concubine. Nod slightly.

The emperor smiled with satisfaction, helped the woman up, and hugged her back in the street. In the next few days, the emperor stayed in the woman's room every night, and she could often hear her crying at night. , and later turned into a soft moan, and this state lasted for several days.

A few days later, the emperor was about to set off again to the next place. At this time, a palace official came to report that there was a city in the south called Fuzhou, and there was a famine at the moment.The emperor looked at him impatiently, ignored the matter, and continued to have fun with the woman.

The next day, the emperor's chariot and horse passed through Fuzhou, the emperor wanted to let people pass quickly and not stay too long, but before leaving the city, the chariot suddenly stopped, he let go of the woman in his arms, and asked coldly: "What's going on? Why stop?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a voice answering from outside the door, "Go back to the emperor, there are a group of victims in front of the carriage, and the carriage cannot pass, what do you think the emperor should do?"

The emperor felt displeased when he heard the words, secretly thinking that these disaster victims are really troublesome, but in order to show his benevolent government, he could only pretend to be heartbroken and get out of the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Come here, pass on my will, and give porridge to the people." After speaking, he turned around and returned to the car, continuing to linger with the woman.

The common people down there shouted long live and thanked the emperor one after another, but when they saw the so-called porridge, they were all dumbfounded.It was clearly a bowl of rice-flavored water, and they couldn't see a few grains of rice after drinking it to the bottom. This made them very sad, but there was nothing they could do.

It is said that after the emperor and the woman left Fuzhou, they came to the relatively affluent Hezhou. On this day, the emperor carefully disguised himself, dressed in casual clothes with the woman, and prepared to go to a teahouse.

Stepping into the best teahouse in Hezhou, the emperor and the woman had just seated when they heard the sound of wood beating the table not far away. He turned around suspiciously and saw a man in commoner clothes standing in the middle of the lobby, talking endlessly. The Jedi spoke, as if telling a story.

Seeing storytelling, something that only folks have, the emperor immediately became interested, so he took the woman to change tables, and listened carefully near the storyteller, but when he heard what the storyteller said, he immediately became interested. Then get angry.

"You know Prince Jing, right? By the way, this Prince Jing married a male princess a year ago, and has always been very affectionate with the male princess. The relationship between the two is no worse than others. This Prince Jing is also a legendary figure. When he was weak, he came back from a victorious battle. In the previous Nanshao War, his prestige on the battlefield..."

Then, the storyteller explained the life of Prince Jing, especially when he talked about the Nanshao War and Prince Jing's influence on the hearts of the people, his spit was flying all over the place.

The emperor not far away, the more he listened to it, the more annoyed he felt. He originally wanted to come to drink tea, but he didn't expect to hear this group of people here raving about that person, and he was furious.

The emperor stood up abruptly, took the woman's hand and left. After returning to the house, he summoned a few guards and whispered something to them. After they left, the emperor's eyes were full of coldness.

The next day, a group of masked people came to the largest restaurant in Hezhou for no reason. When they arrived at the restaurant without saying a word, they smashed up the restaurant and took the storyteller away. Since then, the storyteller has never appeared again. He appeared anywhere in Hezhou, and everyone said that he might have been killed by those masked men.

And the largest restaurant in Hezhou ceased to exist after that day, and the owner of the restaurant also left Hezhou and never came back. No one knows what happened to all of this.

At night, the emperor sat cross-legged on the bed, enjoying the woman behind him beating her back and rubbing her shoulders. With his eyes closed, he recalled what he heard in the restaurant that day.

He really didn't expect that even if Chu Junye had left, his image in the hearts of the people would not be changed. Hearing how excited the storyteller said it was, he knew how much he respected Chu Junye, so he treated Chu Junye with respect. What a hate.

Since he was a child, his father has valued Chu Junye instead of himself. If he hadn't had some means, he might be the one sitting on the throne now.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He pushed away the woman behind him, went to the table, picked up a jug of wine, and poured it down. The cold wine moistened his throat, and his mind suddenly became clearer.

When he was upset, a pair of small hands hugged him behind him, and a soft voice came from behind: "Your Majesty, please calm down, don't be angry and ruin your body, it's not worth it."

Hearing her words, the emperor immediately calmed down a lot of anger. Also, the Wen family is still in his hands. Is he still afraid that Chu Junye will do something?

Thinking of this, the emperor was relieved a lot.
