Chapter 165: The King is Suspicious
In addition to Princess Yunyang and Luan Chuan, Zhu Wenzheng also received a letter from Qin Tao.
Zhu Wenzheng was very busy during this time.
The more the year passes, the more things happen.
Snow is flying.
Heaven and earth are silvery.
There was already the sound of firecrackers outside.
And all this seems to have nothing to do with Zhu Wenzheng.
The endless pieces of music make Zhu Wenzheng's head bigger.
He was drowsy, but he also had to fight his spirits.
Because, he wants to share state affairs for the emperor.
You can't just be happy and comfortable.
Alas!
Zhu Wenzheng sighed.
At this time, someone sent Qin Tao's letter.
Zhu Wenzheng gave himself an excuse to be lazy.
Open Qin Tao's letter.
"Zhu Lao is well, the New Year is coming, Vientiane is renewed, a heavy snow is like an auspicious end, and my Great Qianchao will be ...... for thousands of years."
These are a few polite words.
Zhu Wenzheng knew that Qin Tao would not only write these scenes.
“…… The weather is getting colder, my wife sewed a pair of bearskin gloves for Zhu Lao, as well as two pairs of cotton shoes, a piece of heart, please Zhu Lao smiled! In addition, there are ten jars of good wine, plus a good fox brush, and they are sent to Zhu Lao...... Recently, a new school has been built in our village, so that children in several villages can have books to read, and children are the hope of a nation and a country, and in a few decades, these children will replace us and become the mainstay of our Qianchao. ”
"Ten years of tree cultivation, one hundred years of education!"
"A 100-year plan, education-oriented!"
Zhu Wenzheng looked at Qin Tao's letter, and the exhaustion of his body was swept away.
It's also written in words, just look at what Qin Tao wrote, and look at those old talking, it's almost life-threatening.
"Mr. Zhu, what you see is so fascinating, you didn't even notice that I came in."
Li Zilong came in.
As the emperor, he is similar to Zhu Wenzheng, and he is also working hard to deal with local affairs during this time.
It snowed heavily today.
Li Zilong is in a good mood.
After watching the concerts from all over the country for a while, I came to Zhu Wenzheng.
I happened to see Zhu Wen reading Qin Tao's letter.
"Your Majesty!"
When Zhu Wenzheng saw the emperor coming, he immediately put the letter aside and prepared to salute.
"Excuse me!"
Li Zilong sat down and asked again: "Did you also receive Qin Tao's letter, Yunyang and Luan Chuan both received Qin Tao's letter, and the two of them were very happy." ”
"I see that Mr. Zhu is happy, so it should be the same."
Zhu Wenzheng said: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
"What did Qin Tao write in the letter?" Li Zilong's voice was very low, but it gave people a supreme majesty.
Zhu Wenzheng has always understood that he must not see the emperor happy and really think that he can do whatever he wants.
The king of a country.
Joy and anger are not something that ordinary people can guess.
"Qin Tao gave Yunyang a New Year's gift, and also gave Luan Chuan five hundred taels of silver, how many taels of silver did Mr. Zhu receive?"
Call!!!
Just for a moment, Zhu Wenzheng felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
He is a member of the first rank of the DPRK and China.
If Qin Tao really sent the silver, then Qin Tao not only harmed himself, but also hurt him Zhu Wenzheng.
Bribe the court officials and be a clan!
"Your Majesty, Qin Tao also sent it to me." Zhu Wenzheng didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Li Zilong was still smiling, but his smile was obviously a little indifferent, just like the voice he spoke, more like the cold wind whistling outside at this time.
"Got silver? How many were sent! Li Zilong asked.
Zhu Wenzheng tried his best to keep himself calm, and he said: "Qin Tao's lady made a pair of cotton shoes for the old minister, as well as a pair of bearskin gloves!" Qin Tao gave me ten jars of good wine. ”
"That's all?" Li Zilong asked.
Zhu Wenzheng presented the letter to the emperor and said, "Please take a look at Your Majesty." ”
Like most emperors, Li Zilong is suspicious as their greatest characteristic.
Hate to be deceived.
I took the letter and read it.
"A 100-year plan, education-oriented!"
"This is what Qin Tao said?"
didn't see the matter of sending silver, and Li Zilong's mood returned to what he was just now.
Luan Chuan is just a guard.
And Princess Yunyang said that Luan Chuan and Qin Tao sympathize with each other.
It doesn't matter if you send some silver, after all, Luan Chuan doesn't participate in political affairs.
And Zhu Wenzheng is different, he is an important minister in the court, and he is the person on whom Li Zilong depends.
If Zhu Wenzheng received the silver, then he would be used by Qin Tao.
"It's what Qin Tao said."
Zhu Wenzheng said again: "Qin Tao is a far-sighted person, if he can be ranked in the court, he will definitely become my minister." ”
"You have such a high opinion of Qin Tao?" Li Zilong became interested, and asked again: "If Qin Tao enters the court as an official, and I personally test that he dares to have the talent to govern the world, then is Mr. Zhu willing to give up the position of Taishi?" ”
This......
It seems to be an easy question to answer, but in fact, there is a mystery hidden inside.
If he can't read the emperor's meaning, Zhu Wenzheng can't live to this day.
"I don't want to."
Zhu Wenzheng didn't seem to think about it, but in fact, he gave such an answer after careful consideration.
"Why?" Li Zilong is not too relieved about the dying old Zhu Wenzheng.
Because, Li Zilong knew that in the Great Qian Dynasty, except for him, the emperor, anyone who saw Zhu Wenzheng had to be cautious.
and the ministers.
Be humble at all times.
At this point, Zhu Wenzheng is doing a very good job.
"The minister has been poor since he was a child, his father died when he was three years old, and my mother raised me with hard work, for the minister to study, and worked hard all my life! In the fifteenth year of the minister's cold window, he was awarded by the emperor and became an official. ”
"The old minister got the emperor's kindness, and his liver and brain were smeared, and he couldn't repay it."
"Share worries for the saints, work hard for national affairs, work hard, do your best, and never dare to slack off for a moment."
"This is the glory of the old minister's family today, and it is blessed by the Holy Grace, but it is also what the old minister deserves."
When Zhu Wenzheng said these words, he also noticed the change in Li Zilong's expression, even if it was only a small bit, it did not escape from Zhu Wenzheng's eyes.
"He, Qin Tao, is just a wine merchant."
"Just because he said a few beautiful words, the old minister wants to give him the position of the Grand Master?"
"The old minister is unwilling."
"The position of Taishi was earned by the old minister with his own hard work."
"Your Majesty, the great family of the old minister is relying on the old minister, if the old minister falls, no one in the clan can reach the status of the old minister."
Li Zilong smiled.
"Mr. Zhu is too worried, I just asked casually, Mr. Zhu is my teacher, there are no outsiders here, don't worry about you have no jokes."
Hearing Li Zilong's words, Zhu Wenzheng was finally relieved.
He wasn't worried about losing his position as Grand Master.
In fact, he has long wanted to return to his hometown.
If Qin Tao can replace himself, I believe that he will do better and better than himself, because he is young and energetic.
However, Zhu Wenzheng also knew that if he had promised just now, he would inevitably have a catastrophe.
Li Zilong will definitely suspect that he has a secret relationship with Qin Tao!
