The goal that I have been pursuing all my life is now right in front of me. I just need to eat these things and then lead the world to eat them. Faced with such a temptation, who can resist it?
eat!
What is there to hesitate about? Let alone these things at this time, even if they eat something as disgusting as locusts raw like Emperor Taizong did, they can eat it without any hesitation.
Anyone who refuses to let them eat now is their life and death enemy.
Otherwise, Uncle Li would be able to sit on the throne of the Minister of Rites. Before others could react, he would be the first to understand the powerful relationship between this and the benefits that can be obtained from eating this food.
Picking up a piece of scallop randomly, Uncle Li kept his face straight and ate it clumsily. While eating, he ignored the etiquette of not talking during eating and sleeping, and said in a tearful voice: "Uh-huh, the emperor cares about the common people.
If you dare to serve the world first, you must save food for the people. Although I am dull, I am willing to follow Your Majesty to the death and never regret it!"
As soon as Li Shuzheng's words came out, other people looked at him angrily. He cursed in his heart. It was you who stood up to challenge His Majesty, and now it's you who suddenly surrendered. You want fame and fortune, right? It's too much to be a minister.
Ugly.
People are like this. When everyone is hesitant, no one will rush forward and try. The commanders will watch the fun. But once one person rushes forward, others will follow, as if
I'm afraid that if I take a step too late, I'll suffer a loss.
With just a few snaps of his fingers, everyone who reacted started to follow suit and expressed their loyalty to Lao Zhu while eating.
"I am willing to follow Your Majesty and never regret it!"
Things have turned around, and Lao Zhu looked at the performance of the officials with satisfaction. Even the grudge against Li Shuzheng just now disappeared. He thought, although Li Shuzheng is a bit old-fashioned, he can still stand by me at critical moments.
"Okay, this is my beloved Qing Pingsheng!"
After all the officials had eaten the seafood and left the court, Lao Zhu specially left Han Du behind.
"You are really good at leading Li Shuzheng by the nose with just a few words." Lao Zhu was also recalling and reflecting on what happened in Fengtian Palace. He was wondering why Li Shuzheng refused to obey at first, and even did not hesitate to contradict him for this? Later, he was thinking about it.
Han Du just gave an example of Tang Taizong eating locusts, but Li Shuzheng was uncharacteristically willing to eat seafood? Not only was he willing to eat it, but looking at Li Shuzheng's behavior, he would get angry with anyone who didn't let him eat.
Han Du leaned over and bowed, and replied humbly: "The emperor's words are serious. Is this the minister's ability? It is clear that the emperor cares about the common people and has moved all the officials."
Lao Zhu waved his hand to Han Du's low-level flattery, as if he didn't care. Lao Zhu himself also figured out Han Du's method, which was to induce him with benefits.
After taking a sip of the ginseng tea, Lao Zhu suddenly thought of what Uncle Li said about Han Du's house being haunted, and asked, "What's going on in your house? Is it really haunted, or is it just false news?"
When Han Du heard this, he did not answer, but just smiled at Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu immediately understood and waved to the people around him to leave.
"Can we tell you what happened now?"
"Yes," the smile on Han Du's face faded, and he said with a solemn expression: "What happened in Chen's family is neither haunted nor the rumors are false, but someone is pretending to be a ghost."
"What's going on?" Lao Zhu looked serious. If there are really people playing tricks at Han Du's house, what is the purpose of these people?
Han Du calmly explained: "Actually, I knew what was going on on the first night. Someone secretly smeared eel blood on my door."
"Smear eel's blood? What's the use of this?" Lao Zhu was well-informed, but he didn't know what the use of eel's blood was.
Han Du continued to explain: "Eel blood is the most attractive to bats. Once it is painted on the door, at night, when bats come out, they will be attracted by the eel blood and fly to the door. It will make a sound as if someone is at the door.
It's like knocking on the door outside. When the person sleeping in the house hears the noise and opens the door to look, the bats will feel that someone is approaching and they will disperse. When there is no one outside the door, they will think they have seen a ghost. These
They are just some unscrupulous tricks that are not worth mentioning. And after what happened that day, my father ordered that everyone in the family be strictly prohibited from talking about it, and it was even forbidden to spread it to outsiders. The emperor also knew that there were only a few people in the minister's family, let alone not
Let them spread the word. Even if they are allowed to say it, it will not spread throughout the entire capital in just a few days. There must be someone here who is adding fuel to the flames. Maybe from the moment they take action,
Rumors began to spread that the minister's house was haunted."
Han Du said it easily, but Lao Zhu's expression was still as solemn as before.
After pondering for a while, he said: "So, someone is trying to set your sights?"
Han Du smiled and nodded, "I thought so too. So I didn't care about him. Since there are people who spend so much time doing these things, as long as I wait, they will naturally jump out."
This is the truth. As long as Han Du continues to wait, these people will definitely jump out on their own. Otherwise, if they have done so many things and don't show up in the end, wouldn't it be in vain?
"Have you ever thought about who these people are?" Lao Zhu asked.
Han Du thought for a moment, nodded and replied: "I have thought about it and have some ideas."
Seeing Old Zhu Ding looking at him, Han Du continued: "In terms of official position, I am just an eighth-grade petty official. In terms of family fortune, I am not afraid of the emperor's jokes. With my little family fortune, I am afraid I can't afford these people to spend so much effort.
Therefore, after much thought, I am afraid there is only one reason, treasure money!"
Treasure money!
Lao Zhu instantly raised his head and looked at Han Du's eyes, his pupils shrinking violently.
Yes, if you want to take advantage of Han Du, you don't have to target him or his family. It can totally be something related to Han Du.
And treasure money is the biggest possibility!
You must know that when Handu checked the number of treasure banknotes issued by the treasure banknote collection department over the years, he discovered that someone was privately printing treasure banknotes. Moreover, Handu found out that someone was privately printing treasure banknotes not by verifying any evidence, but by magical calculations
Those who secretly printed treasure banknotes are probably still complacent, thinking that no one will discover them.
Then why did they come to take advantage of Han Du again? Isn't it good that they continue to secretly print treasure banknotes? Lao Zhu thought with his eyes lowered.
Suddenly, Lao Zhu seemed to have thought of something and turned back to the dragon chair.
