By the middle of September, the drought in the north had subsided a lot, and the heat had long since disappeared.

The autumn is high and cool, how can it not make people feel comfortable.

Some people are happy to go out on an outing, chanting words by the way, but some people stay in the palace, sitting on the couch and chanting sutras.

The latter is naturally talking about Emperor Zhu Yujun, the number one otaku in Tianzi, who has not stepped out of the gate of Yuxu Palace for half a year.

Far away, Yu Peizhong heard the sound of the bell ringing from the palace, and at this moment he was holding two copies of the music in his hand.

As the eunuch in charge of the seal, he is also the emperor's confidant, but every time he comes to the Yuxu Palace, Yu Peizhong is still nervous.

It stands to reason that he has a general understanding of the emperor's temperament, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most familiar person, but this fear has never diminished.

In fact, this is not a good thing for Yu Peizhong, it is precisely because of fear that he will not forget his identity and keep a clear head.

Under the respectful gaze of the little eunuchs, Yu Peizhong stepped into the main hall, and then walked to the left side of the house.

The emperor's chanting voice became clearer and clearer, and Yu Peizhong's steps became lighter and lighter, for fear of disturbing the emperor's chanting.

Outside the curtain of the fine house, Yu Peizhong stood cautiously on the side of the door, waiting for the emperor to finish chanting.

About a quarter of an hour later, when Yu Peizhong's legs were already weak, the emperor's chanting finally answered.

I heard a voice from inside the ashram: "Come in!" ”

Only then did Yu Peizhong step into the retreat, and he saw the emperor himself sitting cross-legged on the couch.

"The old slave knocks on the emperor!" Yu Peizhong paid homage.

Zhu Yujun asked, "Say it...... What's the matter, if it's a war of words in the court, there is no need to talk about it! ”

The so-called war of words in the court refers to the impeachment of Chen Xiaoting by the officials, impeaching him for mutilating the people in the name of investigating the case.

Yu Peizhong smiled before he said: "I can't hide anything from the master's eyes, the slave and maid are indeed here for Chen Xiaoting's affairs, and there is news from Jiangnan!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yujun came to his senses, and then he was about to get up from the couch.

So immediately two little eunuchs went to help, and after Zhu Yujun stood up, he waved his hand to let the two little eunuchs retreat.

Just when the two little eunuchs retreated and Zhu Yujun was about to take a step, he felt that the world was spinning for a while, but fortunately the two little eunuchs did not go far, so they held the emperor and did not fall.

Yu Peizhong was shocked, the emperor's body and bones have always been good, how could he stand unsteadily today.

"Your Majesty......" Yu Peizhong called, and then hurriedly stepped forward.

But he didn't take two steps, but he was stunned by Zhu Yujun, who was standing firmly, so he could only stay where he was.

After regaining his footing, Zhu Yujun waved his hand to let the two little eunuchs retreat, at this moment he was still the emperor who held the Qiankun.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Yu Peizhong couldn't help but ask.

Slowly moving his steps, Zhu Yujun walked more and more steadily, but did not answer Yu Peizhong's question.

After he came to the desk and slowly sat on the throne, he asked, "Say, what is it related to Chen Xiaoting!" ”

Although he was concerned about the emperor's physical condition, Yu Peizhong knew that he shouldn't ask too much at this moment, otherwise he would definitely provoke the emperor's anger.

So Yu Peizhong didn't plan to make any extraneous branches, so he took out the recital in his hand.

"Back to the emperor, these two reports were handed over by the Jiangnan Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Household and Chen Xiaoting respectively!" Yu Peizhong explained.

After picking up the fold, Zhu Yujun took a closer look at it and saw that he had always been concerned about the affairs of Jiangnan.

The first thing he picked up was the fold of the household, because he was only concerned with one question, how much silver he had received.

Jiangnan Province alone received 1.2 million taels of silver this time, which made Zhu Yujun's face rarely happy.

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Yu Peizhong felt that the pressure was much less, who made the court unpeaceful recently!

"Yes, yes!" Zhu Yujun said approvingly.

According to this momentum, it is conservatively estimated that it will not be a problem to collect 5 million taels this quarter, which will be a long-term drought for the finances of the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Yujun's happiness only lasted when he watched the folds, and after he put down Zhao Shijiang's folds, his whole face returned to the same state.

Although there was so much silver, there were more places to spend money, and the money was still in a state of extreme tension.

"This Zhao Shijiang is not bad!" Zhu Yujun praised it, although he knew that it was more of Chen Xiaoting's credit.

Then he picked up another notebook, which described the entire investigation process and gave the results of the interrogation of the case.

In the middle of the compromise, Chen Xiaoting was still asking the emperor's opinion on whether he wanted to expand the treatment.

Although Chen Xiaoting knew that it was impossible for the emperor to make extraneous branches, he still had to ask, after all, the decision was in the hands of the emperor, and he didn't dare to overstep his bounds.

So Zhu Yujun picked up the imperial pen and approved the word "according to the accuracy", and then continued to read it.

At the end of the recital, Chen Xiaoting mentioned that he was about to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Japanese and the same party, and at the same time asked the emperor for his opinion in it.

Zhu Yujun was still very relieved about Chen Xiaoting's affairs, so he picked up the imperial pen again and approved the words "camera acting".

After the approval, Zhu Yujun leaned back in the chair, and then said slowly: "Chen Xiaoting is doing things well, I didn't mistake him!" ”

How tricky this errand is, Zhu Yujun and Yu Peizhong both know that it is indeed not easy for Chen Xiaoting to do it in a short time.

Yu Peizhong said with a smile: "It is his blessing that he can be favored by the emperor!" ”

"It's just that Chen Xiaoting is still too young, and the methods he uses are too harsh, and the slightest carelessness will cause a big disaster!"

Yu Peizhong's analysis was very pertinent, but Zhu Yujun shook his head and said: "That being said, I still have to be grateful to him, it was he who made this decision for me!" ”

"Perhaps, if we had done this earlier, those Jiangnan wealthy families would have already paid their taxes and silver!"

In this regard, Yu Peizhong did not express an opinion, because there were too many things involved, and it was even related to the struggle between the two major factions in the imperial court.

"Now that the tax money has been collected, it is time to suppress the matter of bullstaking in the court, don't you say?" Zhu Yujun said in a deep voice.

Yu Peizhong nodded and said, "But I'm afraid that those officials will have a tendon!" ”

"If these people are really clear, it's just for their own interests, so you don't have to be polite to those stubborn people!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yujun stood up and said, "Let Liu Jinzhong deal with it, he is the best at doing this!" ”

Liu Jinzhong's methods are even more ruthless, and the emperor lets him go out to bite people, which is very able to express his will.

"Yes!" Yu Peizhong commanded.

"Also, these people who have made meritorious contributions will always be rewarded for their good lives, you can see what to do!"

"Slaves and maids will do it when they go down!" Yu Peizhong nodded, this matter is very convenient for him.

After the matter was dealt with, Zhu Yujun handed the two copies to Yu Peizhong, and then watched him turn around and leave.

After Yu Peizhong left, Zhu Yujun leaned on the throne full of tiredness, he was too tired.

In fact, he was indeed getting older, and his body was becoming more and more inadequate, but he didn't know that it was caused by taking too much pills.

In order to cover all this, Zhu Yujun now does not want to leave the Jade Void Palace, only here can he maintain the mystery of his king.

But at this moment, he finally had a little doubt about the matter of the cultivation itself, could he really become an immortal?
