Lin Chun also seemed a little powerless in the face of Emperor Wen's anger. The complexity of the government is far beyond the influence of him, the head of the internal affairs department, and he can only do his best to protect the safety of Emperor Wen.

"Your Majesty, Liu Xiang is very old, many things are already overwhelmed, plus in recent years, various places have been affected, the north and south borders are about to rise, the treasury is empty, King Lian is willing to donate generously, Liu Xiang has no reason!" Lin Chun said.

There is no logical relationship between this sentence, except for Emperor Wen, I am afraid that few people can understand it.

The first half of the sentence is to say that Liu Xiang is getting older, and he is no longer as bold as he was when he was young, but more in pursuit of stability. As a member of the royal family, King Lian made reasonable suggestions to him, how could Liu Xiang refuse? Besides, now that there is no money in the treasury, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and King Lian reached out at this time, which can be regarded as a piece of Liu Xiang's heart disease, after all, the victims always need money to help, right?

Listening to Lin Chun's words, Emperor Wen sighed and said, "Yes, I have been in power for twenty years, there are jackals watching in the south, vicious dogs in the north, and even more in the plateau. Internally, we can't raise the government and clear the mountains and rivers, and we can't defeat the enemy and defend the homeland, which is my fault! Now Liu Xiang, who has worked hard for me all his life, is also old, as short as one year, as long as two years, Liu Xiang is about to return to his hometown, who should I rely on at that time? ”

"Your Majesty, there are often talents emerging in my national imperial examination, among which there must be talents who can help the country and the world, Your Majesty must not worry too much, take care of the dragon body!" Lin Chun comforted him.

"It is true that there are talents emerging in the imperial examination, but how many of them are loyal? Half of the officials of the Ministry of Rites are his Wang Cheng's people, and the imperial examination is almost completely monopolized by him, and even my Ministry of Rites is a virtual non-existent book. That's his Wang Cheng's minions! In a few years, when all these loyal people are gone, it will be time for me to abdicate! Emperor Wen's voice was mixed with anger and unwillingness, as a dynasty king, he faced the classic problem of feudal dynasties for thousands of years: the struggle between imperial power and relative power. Unfortunately, he is currently on the underdog side in this fight.

The right minister Wang Cheng and the king of Xiang, Chen Yue, are close, and it is said that the two are still distant cousins. A few years ago, Wang Cheng continued to expand his power through the influence of King Xiang, when international conflicts were on the verge of breaking out, and Emperor Wen had no time to take care of Wang Cheng. It was not until there was a problem with the imperial examination in recent years, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was almost completely emptied by the two squires, that Emperor Wen realized the seriousness of the matter. But at this time, Wang Cheng's wings were already full, and the power above the court could almost be said to be on an equal footing with Emperor Wen, and it was too late to move him.

But Emperor Wen is the orthodoxy of the royal family after all, even if most of the newly promoted officials tend to follow the trend and defect to Wang Cheng, but some of the existing old qualifications are still very supportive of Emperor Chen Ming, which is why Wang Cheng does not dare to do too much. But people will eventually grow old, and when Emperor Wen's loyal supporters say goodbye to the old and resign, Wang Chengcheng can cover the sky with one hand, and then he will put Chen Yue on the throne, and he will be the actual ruler of Wenguo.

One of the major disadvantages of Emperor Wen is that the gate of the imperial examination is controlled by Wang Cheng, and talented people cannot feel the grace of Mu Sheng, serve him, and over time, he will have no one to use and become a bare-bones emperor.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there is no endless road to heaven, not to mention that Your Majesty is the true son of heaven, why can't you turn evil into good fortune and be auspicious in trouble?"

"If this country is lost in my hands, I will be ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors......" Emperor Wen smiled bitterly.

……

"I said, this matter really has nothing to do with the ancestors and ancestors......" Zhou Yu was forced into a corner...... No, it's the corner of the bed.

"Why doesn't it matter? You are our husband, and we should renew the incense for you, come on......" Feng Yue and He Shuiling stripped Zhou Yu's clothes without saying anything.

In the past few days, Zhou Yu has been squeezed listless by his two ladies, and he will definitely not wake up before noon every day. He even hid in Shui'er's room, but he was still found, and the joy of the three almost turned into a four-person Chenghuan......

Zhou Yu, who was inhumane before, felt that this kind of thing was unwanted, and he was full of yearning for it; After experiencing it, I realized that it was a nightmare! Every day, as soon as I woke up, there were two beautiful girls lying on Zhou Yu's bed, and then I helped him massage him intimately, and then the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous, and finally became a feast for three people...... This kind of process is okay once or twice, every day is like this, even if the fairy goes down to earth, he can't bear it!

In order to prevent himself from having an accident, Zhou Yu asked Li Erniu to go to the pharmacy to buy some tonics. When he came back, Li Erniu asked suspiciously, "Master, why did those people look at me with a very strange look when I said the medicinal materials I bought?" ”

"Well, you're still too young now, you'll understand when you grow up......" Zhou Yu patted him on the shoulder, and said with a little weakness.

But it still doesn't work like this, Zhou Yu finally started negotiations with the second daughter for half an hour, and after signing an unequal treaty that no longer goes to the land of flowers and willows, the second daughter agreed to make concessions on the matter of having sex, and the frequency of sex in the future will be decided by Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and slept steadily, he had never longed for a dull night as much as today.

The years are buried in the history books little by little, time is like a carriage running outside the city, people pay little attention, but it keeps leaving and never treats people.

Jiayue Qianlong, the good year of Layue, in a blink of an eye, the last month of the first year of Yongsheng has arrived.

The winter in Luozhou is not as good as in the south, and the clothes on people's bodies will only get thicker and thicker, and going out has become a test. Juxian Lou and Juewei Fang also put hot pot on the spot, which is different from the Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot where Zhou Yu was in his previous life, and the hot pot in Luozhou is more characteristic of northern hot pot, boiling the bottom of the pot with the taste of clear soup, and the taste is mainly in the bowl, that is, the preparation of sauce.

Zhou Yu made the sesame sauce of later generations and used it as a hot pot dipping sauce, and after tasting it, everyone agreed that the hot pot flavor eaten in this way was unique and suitable for promotion.

Although the meals in Juxian Lou and Jueweifang are provided by Zhou Yu in charge, their prices and production processes are very different. Only the hot pot is different, the way to eat this thing is basically fixed, that is, the difference in ingredients, it can be said that it is the closest project between the two restaurants.

In addition to researching new dishes and occasionally teaching at Tianyu Villa, Zhou Yu also has a special daily task - practicing equestrianism. Chasing the wind has been in the house for several months, and Zhou Yu has not officially ridden it once, at most, he has been camelped like a cargo. So he hired a guard from Chen Jin, but because of his duties, he couldn't leave the palace, so Zhou Yu had to practice horseback riding in the palace of Yu every day.

Half a month passed, and he finally successfully drove the chasing wind back from the palace to his home. That's right, it's back, and the pace of chasing the wind is very leisurely, so it goes without saying how fast it is......

But Zhou Yu firmly believes that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, this kind of thing can only grow by studying and practicing hard, and it is not in a hurry.

Then more than half a month passed, and Zhou Yu successfully increased the speed of driving a horse from less than 10 kilometers per hour to 16 kilometers per hour, and the speed growth rate was as high as 100 percent! Of course, this speed is still far from a real "flying spur......

The New Year is approaching, and every household in Luozhou City is filled with the joy of the festival. At the end of the year, people will return to their hometowns for the New Year, which is a traditional custom for thousands of years, and it has not changed in Zhou Yu's past and present lives.

The already prosperous Luozhou is now even more lively, with children holding rock sugar gourds to show off to their friends, and their red faces spit out a mouthful of hot air. I don't know whose chubby young master fell in love with mutton skewers, pestering the housekeeper and refusing to give in. People living in rural cottages have also come to the city to buy some New Year's goods, some can cut three or five taels of meat, and some can only about ten eggs, as the only luxury in the family.

The people in the city are obviously more generous, and they go to the temple to donate dozens or hundreds of taels of silver at every turn, and they don't ask which gods and Buddhas they worship. There are many people who like to compare, and now there is a popular saying in Luozhou City, to ask who is the rich man, and there are five doors on the third floor of Juxian. In other words, those who can eat in the private room on the third floor of Juxian Building can be regarded as a really rich person.

In fact, the act of showing off financial resources belongs to the poor who cannot afford to play, and the rich who are not interested. There is a half-pot of water jingling, so he has to earn that few points of worthless face, so he spends a lot of money in the private room of Juxian Building. For such a person to appear, Zhou Yu can be said to be smiling from ear to ear, and the money of the stupid hat is best not earned!

It's not a shame to go to Juxian Building, there are good things in Jueweifang! Many people have never eaten stir-fried food, and as soon as they arrive at Jueweifang, they will cultivate their taste, and they will no longer eat meals at home.

In addition to eating, the spiritual life of the people of Los Angeles has also been enriched. The appearance of Tianyu Villa has opened the door to popular entertainment for ordinary people, today there are two storytelling in the south alley, and there are three cross talks in the north courtyard of Ming'er, rich people can invite a drama troupe to listen to the drama in the house, no money and no fear, maybe there will be a free performance in the downtown one day. Such down-to-earth cultural activities have made many people fall in love with the life of Luozhou.

The Luoju Thorn Mansion also specially selected the "Best Merchant of the Year", "Luozhou Model Merchant" and "Outstanding Representative of Cultural Activities", and these three awards were won by Juxian Building, Jueweifang and Tianyu Villa respectively.

When he learned the news, Zhou Yu was so angry that he almost didn't fall asleep, and went directly to the Yuwang Mansion to ask Chen Jin: "What's going on with these three awards?" Do you think this award is really fair? ”

"Didn't you say you could get a few awards? Didn't all three of you make it in? Still have questions? Chen Jin wrapped himself in a thick velvet jacket and said.

"Let's just say, there must be other winners for awards, right? As soon as these three names came out, it was as if I had given myself an award......" Zhou Yu complained.

"Didn't you pay for the prize money and medals?" Chen Jin turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, with a big question mark in his eyes.

"I paid the money, but my purpose in doing this is not to make my own store win, but to stimulate the desire of various merchants to compete, so as to provide customers with better products and services, what you are doing now is completely misinterpreting my meaning!" Zhou Yu said indignantly.

"Then replace all the current ones?" Chen Jin asked tentatively.

"I'm an investor, and my store can't be evaluated, do you think it's reasonable?" Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.

"And what do you want to do?"

"In addition to our family, wouldn't it be okay to add a few more awards?" Zhou Yu gave a solution.

This is the benefit of relying on money and power, whether you win an award or not, you have the final say.

In the end, at Zhou Yu's suggestion, the number of award-winning merchants changed from three to seven, and each household received a certain amount of bonuses. For several other award-winning merchants, a small bonus is far less expensive than a piece of "Luozhou Model Merchant", which is a brand issued by the government, and the gold content is leveraged!

Of course, this is what they themselves think......

In addition, the Los Angeles Assassin Mansion also announced that it will select the "Best Merchant of the Quarter" every quarter. Seeing this, other merchants have also joined the medal battle for the next quarter.

Of course, as the investor and promoter of this reward, Zhou Yu was leisurely sipping tea, looking at the list of New Year's goods that Feng Yue had just drawn up.
