Zeng Rong heard that this reward was a request, and he hurriedly raised his head and looked at the other party in disbelief, because the other party did not set a condition.

"Back to the emperor, can you ask for anything?" Zeng Rong asked cautiously, she wanted to confirm.

"It is not against morality, it is within my power." Zhu Xu snorted coldly, just felt that this girl was stupid, how could she feel like she had been calculated?

"This is natural." After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he thought about it very seriously.

This was the opportunity she had to take advantage of.

The first thing that came to mind was to ask for a gold medal for avoiding death, so that no matter who ascended the throne in the future, she could use this gold medal to save her life.

can be thought about it again, the gold medal for avoiding death can only be awarded to a noble minister who has made major military merits and has been named a prince, and a gold medal for a small female official can be given a gold medal for avoiding death, which seems to be a bit too difficult, not to mention whether the emperor agrees or not, the court will definitely not be able to pass.

So, Zeng Rong quickly gave up this idea.

The second idea is to ask for a blank holy decree, keep this blank holy decree, on the occasion of the emperor's centennial, can she use this blank holy decree to send Zhu Heng to the throne?

It's a pity that Zeng Rong also gave up this idea.

Who is the emperor, and can she hide it from the other party with this little caution?

If the other party is unhappy because of his greed, it will inevitably be a bit more than worth the loss, and at any time, the pattern will determine the outcome.

"Back to the emperor, the lower officials have thought about it, you must not regret it." Zeng Rong sold it first.

"I don't regret it, as long as it doesn't violate morality, as long as it's within my ability." Zhu Xu reiterated it, a little impatient.

Because he was really curious about what Zeng Rong's brain, which was a combination of smart and stupid, would make a request.

"Your Majesty, the request of the lower officials is simple and simple, the emperor can solve it with one sentence, and it is definitely not against morality, but the lower officials are not sure if they will anger you if they say it?" Zeng Rong tried again.

"That's a lot of nonsense." Zhu Xu was impatient.

"Back to the emperor, the lower official asked for exemption from kneeling, the emperor was angry and could scold the lower official to deduct the official money, or he could starve the lower official for one meal or two, but he could not punish the kneeling, the lower official was really afraid of kneeling, every time he knelt for two hours, the lower official's knee hurt for several days, and the ground was cool, it would be very troublesome when he was older, the lower official had seen Aunt Qin's legs, and the joints hurt in winter, and he was swollen after kneeling for a while, and he even struggled to walk." Zeng Rong raised his eyes as he spoke.

"What the hell is this?" Zhu Xu's eyes widened, "I punished you for kneeling twice, but when you say this, I seem to have become a tyrant." ”

"What, it's only more than two, three times in total, not counting the times the emperor threatened the lower officials." Zeng Rong saw that the other party began to blow his beard and stare again, and his courage also increased.

"What do I want to do, and I still need to threaten?" Zhu Xu didn't like to listen to it, and glanced at Zeng Rong in a long tone.

"If you say no, it's not, you are the emperor, you have the final say. How, now when it comes to kneeling, do you agree or not? ”

"It's the other way around, I was threatened by a little girl today. Come on, get this girl out, I don't want to see her. Zhu Xu waved his hand, obviously not wanting to continue the topic.

Zeng Rong saw that the other party should have acquiesced, so he curtched with great eyes, turned around and left.

Who knew that as soon as she arrived at the door, she was called back by Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu also remembered that he had been so troubled by Zeng Rong, and he hadn't started to ask about key things yet.

"Who taught you what you said to Chang Dezi?" Zhu Xu asked.

"Back to the emperor, it was the lower officials themselves who thought of it." Zeng Rong took her experience of living in the countryside as evidence.

The amount of food for a strong laborer in a rural area should be about the same as that of an ordinary soldier, and how many soldiers and soldiers are on the front line, and you can draw conclusions by calculating their food consumption with this grain and grass.

The grain and grass that originally lasted for a month could not last for less than half a month, and there were only two places to go, which were either stolen and hidden or smuggled out for sale.

"It's as simple as that?" Zhu Xu didn't believe it a little.

Because Chang Dezi said before that Zeng Rong was quite firm in his words, and he was also quite eager, not like he had no confidence.

This is one of the reasons why he made up his mind to send a team of chincha to patrol the northern border.

Of course, he himself didn't doubt the whereabouts of the grain and grass, but Wang Bai was in the front, and he really didn't want to have a dislike with Wang Bai because of the 100,000 stone grain and grass, after all, Wang Bai's military exploits over the years are obvious to all, and he can't chill the hearts of these noble families.

But he was afraid that once this precedent was set, other families would follow suit in the future, and at that time, he was afraid that it would be too late for him to take care of it.

"Returning to the emperor, it's not simple, there are similar records in the history books, the lower officials have looked through the old files before in the Inner Court Bureau, and have seen similar case files, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than five words, and the wealth is moving." Zeng Rong replied.

This reason convinced Zhu Xu very well.

Yes, this girl is doing the work of a historian, and she can not understand that greed for ink and dereliction of duty have almost become a common problem for those officials who commit crimes.

"Yes, the son can be taught, I didn't misunderstand you." The last sentence is a pun, not only referring to the grain and grass case, but also containing his recognition of Zeng Rongti's punishment and kneeling conditions.

"Emperor Xie appreciates, can the lower official default to the emperor's condition that you agreed to the lower official?" Zeng Rong added without fear of death.

"Not angry?" Zhu Xu glanced at her and couldn't help laughing.

"How dare you? I don't dare to get angry with the emperor if I borrow a hundred guts. Zeng Rong grinned, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, revealing a few neat little teeth, which really responded to four words, with bright eyes and bright teeth.

"Don't dare? Try to make trouble for me next time! Zhu Xu pretended to be disgusted and threatened.

Zeng Rong responded, and when he turned to leave, he also pursed his lips in disgust, every time this person threatened people, he didn't know how to change it, she was tired of hearing it.

Who knew that she had just finished slandering, Zhu Xu stopped her again, this time asking her to go to Yaohua Palace with him, in the name of visiting Concubine Yu's mother and son, in fact, the emperor accompanied her to thank Tong Yao.

There is no clearer battle between these women in the harem than him, Zeng Rong came back from Kunning Palace obviously with anger, thinking of what happened recently, Wang Tong could not be really kind to Zeng Rong, the so-called visit was just for him to see.

In the same way, the same is true for Tong Yao's side, not to mention, Zeng Rong first rejected the palace maid beside Tong Yao that day, and then the queen had to speak to make this trip, so it's no wonder that Ah Yao can be happy.
