Chapter 80: The Surface Article
To the surprise of the two, Qin Chuan actually agreed.
"Well, since you all say so, I don't bother to go, so I will allocate money from the bank to buy medicine."
Liu Zhongping blinked his eyelids, listening to it ignorantly, Qin Chuan's tone and demeanor looked very tired, as if he didn't care about the plague all of a sudden.
Qin Chuan took a sip of tea, blew it, and said loudly: "That...... I'm on the big treasure for the first time, isn't it time for the draft? There are only a few women in my harem, where do I look like an emperor. β
Zhou Dewei is very willing to listen to this, Qin Chuan is still lustful, so there is a way.
He can secretly find someone to enter the palace, become a concubine, always pay attention to Qin Chuan, if necessary, he can also poison Qin Chuan, he doesn't know it, he doesn't know it, a lustful man is very easy to kill.
He was thinking about it, and his face was subtle.
Qin Chuan approached the past: "What's the matter, Lord Xiangguo thinks what I said is wrong?" β
"Oh! - How dare you, the draft of concubines is really the way of the king, for the sake of the royal branch, this is of course the top priority. β
"Okay, don't you have nine days to leave the capital, you go to do this first, and choose a few concubines for me to come out on the ninth day, right?"
"It's not difficult, the minister will do his best."
"Very well, you go down first."
As soon as Zhou Dewei left, Liu Zhongping asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, why do you want to draft at this time?" It's out of time, the barracks are in a big disaster, so many soldiers are looking at you, at this time, you ...... You're going to draft a concubine, and you're going to do it in nine days, and that's ......."
It should be said that it is too mediocre, but Liu Zhongping can't say it when he speaks.
Qin Chuan: "Do you also think that I will slack off as soon as I become an emperor?" I'm looking for something to do for Zhou Dewei and keep him completely busy. The draft will take at least two months, and if he does it in nine days, he can't afford to do it early and late? Does he still have the time to ponder me? β
I see, Liu Zhongping understood.
However, he still had to say: "Your Majesty, the ministers understand your painstaking efforts, but the subjects of the world will not understand, they will think that you are still the one who indulges in lust, and nothing has changed." β
Now, Qin Chuan has not had a chance to display his ambitions, and he has to gradually cultivate his own power first.
"Gong Liu, why did I take Zhou Dewei out, do you understand?"
"The minister understands, the emperor is to cut off his wings, and then let the ministers have full wings to compete with him."
"You are only half right, Zhou Dewei is in the imperial court, and those officials who are facing him have the backbone and hinder me everywhere. As soon as he leaves, who else will openly oppose me in the court? No, at this time, the order I issued is valid. Whoever does not listen is a rebel. β
β¦β¦
The next morning, news came from outside the palace that Zhou Dewei was resolute and had begun the draft.
The time was relatively short, and he set his sights in the capital, looking for women from official eunuchs.
This old guy is very good at playing, the daughters and granddaughters of those officials all belong to his sphere of influence, of course, they have to listen to him, there is no need to find anyone alone to monitor Qin Chuan, almost all of them can be used as spies.
In this way, seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye, and what Qin Chuan did all day long was to stay in the palace and play chess with Liu Zhongping, or play with the women in the harem, and not call the ministers to the early dynasty.
It's useless to call it, these people are Zhou Dewei's sworn friends, and the last dynasty is purely acting.
There is good news that the vassal king's soldiers and horses have been withdrawn, which is probably the most gratifying news.
There was still a day before Zhou Dewei left the capital, he finished what he was doing, came to the palace to reply to the decree, and knelt outside the palace for half a day, the eunuch Xiao Jin said that the emperor was playing in the imperial garden and asked him to wait here.
The old leg was about to be broken on his knees, and Qin Chuan came out.
"Ouch-Gong Zhou, I'm sorry, I almost forgot about you, let you kneel for so long, get up, I support you."
Zhou Dewei couldn't stand up, gritted his teeth and endured his anger: "The minister doesn't dare, the emperor has tormented the minister." Your Majesty, the matter of the draft, the ministers have already done it, and a total of more than 30 show girls are waiting outside the gate of the West Palace, waiting to be summoned at any time. β
"Well, who is that, Xiao Companion, go tell the queen, let her meet those show girls, and say that I will go over and choose them at night."
He helped Zhou Dewei into the study and poured the old guy a cup of tea.
It was also delivered to Zhou Dewei's hands.
"Your Majesty, it's time to torture the ministers."
"It's a trivial matter, what is a cup of tea, even if you want to be crowned king, I will give it to you."
This sentence is temptation.
You must know that there is no king with a different surname in this dynasty, and the king with a different surname is what happened in the previous dynasty, and the defeat of the previous dynasty was also because of the rebellion of the king with a different surname.
Zhou Dewei didn't dare to look at Qin Chuan's eyes: "Your Majesty, you ...... You're joking, you dare. β
"I just said casually that tomorrow you will leave the capital and do great things for me. I believe in your eloquence, and people say that Zhou Xiangguo's protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the government and the opposition, covering almost half of the Great Xia. Really? β
"The emperor has promoted his ministers, but he doesn't dare to say that."
"It doesn't matter! Cutting the feudal domain is what I want to do the most, you are already a very human minister, it is difficult for me to give you any more kindness. However, on the day of your triumphant return, I will reward your son heavily, and crown your second son as a general in charge of the army, and your third son, I will appoint him as a governor and a marquis, what do you think? β
Zhou Dewei's mind kept turning, but he couldn't keep up with Qin Chuan's speed, and when he and Qin Chuan looked at each other, he hurriedly knelt down: "The emperor is so gracious, it is difficult to repay the death of the minister!" The Zhou family should do their best to repay His Majesty's kindness! β
Looking down and seeing Zhou Dewei kneeling for himself, he didn't dare to raise his head, Qin Chuan had countless impulses in his heart, wanting to kill him with a sword, but he couldn't, he had to restrain himself, Zhou Dewei was not yet dead.
As Qin Chuan said, this thief's power is all over the government and the opposition, and it is easy to kill him, but one stone stirs up a thousand waves, and it is difficult to end.
After getting rid of his wings, killing him again is the best policy.
Qin Chuan handed over the holy decree to him: "Duke Zhou, remember my words, go with confidence, I will take care of the affairs of the family, and I will not let you have any worries." β
"Ministers, commanders, thanksgiving."
β¦β¦
In the middle of the night, Qin Chuan went to the compound where the show girl was, stayed for a while, and still didn't plan to go in.
Eunuch Xiao said: "Your Majesty, why don't you choose a daughter to pamper today?" β
"They are all Zhou Dewei's people, and each of them is sent to monitor me, I don't want such a woman by my side."
"So, you don't want any of them?"
"Stay and be a palace maid, let the queen take care of it."
