"You mean, the Lotus Hall that drives up prices is your family's business?" Zhu Yunxi still looked calm and spoke slowly.
Zhao Shi's face was full of tears, "The Chen family has a stake in Lianhuatang. The business of Lianhuatang has been able to grow in recent years because of the Chen family's efforts behind the scenes!" He said, kowtow heavily, "I'm sorry...
Your Majesty and Your Majesty, I am willing to die to apologize!"
Plop!
As soon as Zhao Shi finished speaking, He Guangyi also knelt down heavily and kowtowed with a pale expression.
Suddenly, Li Jinglong understood.
Perhaps there was no mention of the Marquis Chengen's Mansion in that memorial, but He Guangyi didn't even write it down!
"You..." Li Jinglong was shocked in his heart, "You are so fucking traitorous!"
He Guangyi could have written it and said he was fine, but he chose to hide it with the greatest risk. No, it was not that there was a risk, but that he couldn't hide it at all.
But he still didn't write it because he knew that the emperor would be the most uncomfortable if he wrote it.
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxi's cold gaze fell on He Guangyi.
"Ha, you've learned to be half-hearted with me, right?"
Dangdang, blood started to fall down He Guangyi's forehead.
His voice was filled with tears, "I deserve to die the most, but I..." As he said that, he raised his head and said, "Long live my lord, if it involves the queen's face, I don't dare to die..." He cried
Then he continued, "Every mistake is my fault. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"The Cheng'enhou Mansion is deceived by villains. As far as I know, even if there are merchants outside who are filial to their money, it is not all right..."
"What's missing?" Zhu Yunxi still stared at He Guangyi.
Dong Dong, He Guangyi kowtowed and did not dare to speak.
Zhu Yunxi knew what he didn't finish the sentence. Even if the Marquis of Cheng'en made money, it didn't all go to his Zhao family.
He suddenly remembered that Zhao Ning'er had said last night that her natal family gave her a birthday gift. The Zhao family always sent things to the palace, and the Zhao family's foundation was far inferior to that of other noble families.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and looked at the memorial in his hand. The familiar names on it made his heart ache.
As He Guangyi said, it only involves officials.
The princess's consort, the mother clan of several minor vassals in the palace, the nobles of Huaixi...
There is also the Zhao family of Chengenhou, the queen's natal family, which has not been written down.
But at this moment, Zhu Yunxi didn't feel much blame for He Guangyi, but there was a faint feeling...
"He didn't write it because he was saving my face. He knew that even if he didn't say it, someone would say it, but he still risked his head and chose to save the royal family's face and not embarrass himself!"
Zhu Yunxi understood what He Guangyi was thinking, and Li Jinglong understood why He Guangyi did what he did, but Zhao Shi was still confused.
He kowtowed desperately, "My family...it has disgraced the emperor and undermined his status." As he said this, he looked up with tears in his eyes, "I am willing to accept the responsibility for my father, I..."
"How do you do it?" Zhu Yunxi looked at him and said.
"The Zhao family is originally a family of petty officials. It is proud of the emperor and the empress. It does not know how to behave and does not care about the emperor's favor. It is an insult to the country!" Zhao Shi said word by word, "My father is old, and I do not dare to belittle my son.
I am bold enough to ask the emperor to remove me from all honorary positions. Send me to serve in front of the Liaodong Army. I am willing to be a soldier of the Ming Dynasty!
"I am willing to use this life to repay the grace of the Emperor and the Empress!"
Zhu Yunxi still looked at Zhao Shi with mixed feelings in his heart. He had watched the young man in front of him grow up.
His nature is not bad and his temperament is down-to-earth.
Sometimes Zhu Yunxi often thought that in the later Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Emperor Qianlong's brother-in-law was able to equal the Jin Dynasty in Junggar, and his own brother-in-law might not be bad in the future, so he was so specially cultivated.
Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, "My child is a good child, he is ambitious and understands justice!"
In fact, he, the emperor, is not a person who is ignorant of the world. If the emperor's relatives are not greedy for money, it is like a dog not eating shit. What does this matter to the Zhao family? The beautiful country's father-in-law's son is going to the driver to extort money!
Humanly speaking, Lianhuatang was in the crosshairs of him. If he hadn't suddenly decided to ask He Guangyi to investigate, who would have cared even if these unscrupulous businessmen in the capital increased their prices tenfold?
But he is the emperor, and all emperors are selfish.
The emperor wants to be strict with others. If the emperor talks about favors, the world will be full of corrupt officials.
At this time, the bastard came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the training assistant is here!"
"Get up first! Go out the door!" Zhu Yunxi was a little tired, waved his hand to Zhao Shi, and then said to the bastard, "Let him come in!"
~~
Lian Zining walked to the door in a hurry, with a row of blisters bulging at the corner of his mouth.
He was startled as soon as he reached the door. Uncle Guo walked out and knelt upright at the door, wiping tears.
Lian Zining quickly cheered up and stepped in, "Your Majesty..."
"No need to salute!" Zhu Yunxi was still wearing clothes and sitting without the image of a king. "I'll talk to you later, dear!" As he said that, he raised his fingers at He Guangyi.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
The latter used his hands and feet to crawl to the Arhat's bed.
"If it hadn't been for the Huaibei disaster and you would still be of use, your head would be yours today!"
Hearing this, He Guangyi breathed a sigh of relief and passed the test!
"The death penalty is temporarily exempted, but the living crime cannot be escaped!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "Tear off your python robe, take back the unicorn uniform, remove all official positions, and still walk in the seat of the commander of the Jinyi Guards!" As he spoke, he nodded at He Guangyi's goose hat,
"Remember, there is only one head!"
"My lord, thank you for your kindness!" He Guangyi kowtowed desperately.
This posture made Lian Zining even more frightened. In the early morning, the emperor made his brother-in-law kneel outside the door and treated He Guangyi like this. He couldn't help but look at Li Jinglong, but found that the latter was looking at the emperor blankly...
s hair.
"What's the matter with you, dear?" Zhu Yunxi said, suppressing the fire in his heart.
Lian Zining quickly bowed, "Last night, I summoned the medicine shops in the capital overnight to talk about the procurement matters. Several pharmacies understood the righteousness and not only supplied medicinal materials at their own cost, but also provided prescriptions and manpower! But...
..."
As he spoke, he continued, "However, there are also a few medicine shops that are greedy. After the Huaibei disaster, they even thought of bargaining with the court, and even increased the price of medicinal materials by several percent..."
He was talking incessantly, completely unaware that Li Jinglong's eyes were about to pop out.
"Sophisticated!" Li Jinglong thought to himself, "Don't talk about Lotus Hall at this time!"
"Later, I asked privately that Lianhuatang was the leader of those medicine shops that wanted to enrich the country while it was hard to make money!" Lian Zining continued, "Not only did they increase the price of medicines for the imperial court, but they were also expensive patent medicines. Moreover, they also cooperated with
I said that I would be richly rewarded, and even asked someone to make peace with me, and even moved out..."
"You're a plague!" Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, "What did I tell you last night? Can't you just pretend that you haven't seen or heard about the price increase? Can't you just ignore it? Be sophisticated, be sophisticated.
Are you so intolerant of disdain?"
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxi could no longer hold back his anger on his face.
"Ha! So it turns out that it's not just about driving up prices and hoarding goods, but it's also about making money for the country?"
He sneered and said, "Tsk, tsk, you really have a backer, so you are so unscrupulous!" As he said, he shouted outside, "Come here, please invite Marquis Chengen into the palace!"
Bang, a sound from outside.
Then someone shouted, "Uncle Guo has fainted!"
~~
"emperor!"
Zhu Yunxi looked over in surprise and saw Li Jinglong also lifting his official robe and kneeling down, "I have something to say!"
"You want to intercede for someone else?" Zhu Yunxi looked unkind.
This is the reason why he, the emperor, is strict with others, because there is no limit to human greed, and this greed is even more unscrupulous under the cover of power.
"I'm not trying to excuse others!" Li Jinglong said in a deep voice, "Actually, I already know about the Lotus Hall matter! I apologize! But what I'm asking for is not the crime of hiding the emperor from you, but..."
"What is it?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"In order to maintain the dignity of the family, the noble family of Guoqi and Xungui engages in business activities both covertly and covertly!" Li Jinglong said in a low voice, "Marquis Cheng'en's family has a poor family background, but there are hundreds of people in the family in the capital, and there are also people in the palace...
So the expense is huge!”
"Furthermore, it is actually Lianhuatang who pretends to be powerful under the banner of Marquis Chengen. As far as I know, there are many things that Marquis Chengen does not know."
Zhu Yunxi sneered, "Well, you're saying you're not trying to excuse others?"
"Actually, the reason why a drug store like Lianhuatang dares to do this is...because of the deliberate indulgence of the ministers and others, and there are still people who are secretly applauding!"
"Huh?" Zhu Yunxi didn't expect this statement.
"The family of Marquis Chengen actually doesn't have any good business. After I learned that Lianhuatang was admitted to the Marquis of Chengen, I privately ordered my subordinates not to fight with Lianhuatang, but to give up three points in the business field.
I was thinking that Marquis Chengen would not be from a poor family, and secondly, I was thinking that after all..."
"Where's the killing?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Although I am guilty, few people think like me. Some people think that after the Lotus Hall becomes bigger, the shopkeeper who does not know what is good or bad will make a fool of himself. They will make a fool of themselves! So it is not ruled out that some people
Fire in the dark!"
"It's hard to justify..."
Before Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he saw Li Jinglong grinning and burst into tears.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"Why are you crying?" Zhu Yunxi said angrily.
"I am crying for you!" Li Jinglong kneeled forward, "You... are so difficult!" He said, pointing to Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, "You are still in your youth, but... you have gray hair.
The affairs of the country, the country, the country, the country, and the country, all rest on your shoulders alone!"
"Your Majesty, it's too difficult for you! Woohoo!"
"You are the emperor, but all the bad things in the world have happened to you! I feel so sorry for you, my minister!"
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

content.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
