I was preparing to eat at noon that day when a man with a white face and no beard came in and spoke in a sharp voice: "May I ask Mr. Ji Xunji~~ who is the boss here?'
"Yes." Shen Yuyu responded, and Ji Xun got up and walked to the door of the restaurant.
When Ji Xun saw this person, he recognized him. He was Eunuch Li, a close confidant of Emperor Qi Heng.
Not long after the disaster, Emperor Qi Heng went around to inspect the disaster, and he happened to be in Luozhou recently.
Eunuch Li was sent by Emperor Qi Heng to meet Ji Xun.
A locust plague broke out in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and Emperor Qi Heng was so worried that his head turned gray overnight. However, rumors spread in the capital that the reigning emperor had done something that angered God, so God repeatedly sent locusts to punish the people. Empress Zhou's mother clan Prime Minister Zhou Chen took the opportunity to unite with many ministers and petitioned Emperor Qi Heng to abdicate his throne~~
If Wantian County had not discovered a crop that locusts would not eat and solved the crisis safely, Emperor Qi Heng might have been forced to give the crown prince the throne.
"Mr. Ji, can I have a few words with you alone?" Eunuch Li looked at Ji Xun, slightly excited.
He had been with Emperor Qi Heng for decades and had watched the Night King grow up. They all said that the Night King was buried in a sea of fire a few months ago. Now that he is alive and well, he is happier than anyone else.
After saying this, he looked at Shen Yuyu with a smile, "This is Mr. Ji's wife, Miss Shen?" He knew that the Night King lived in seclusion in the countryside and got married.
Emperor Qi Heng once wanted to recall the Night King to Beijing and rearrange the marriage, but it was Eunuch Li who persuaded him.
The character of the Night King~~Once he decides something, no one will be able to persuade him to turn back.
But fortunately, the Queen of the Night's almond-shaped eyes and red lips are so beautiful that she may not be inferior to Princess Xia Luoluo of Daqi. I heard that the kind of potatoes that locusts refused to eat was discovered by the Queen of the Night, and she also has medical skills. His Highness the Night King's legs It's someone whom Princess Ye considers to be absolutely trustworthy.
While he was looking at it, Ji Xun said hello: "Please come upstairs." He took Shen Yuyu's hand.
Shen Yuyu also roughly guessed Eunuch Li's identity and said, "How about Ah Xun, I'll wait for you downstairs."
"No, together." Ji Xun answered without any doubt, holding her waist and going upstairs.
Eunuch Li smiled and saw that His Highness the Night King was completely in love with Princess Ye. Fortunately, he persuaded the Emperor to give up the idea of re-proposing a marriage, otherwise it would have been unpleasant.
Several people came to the reception room on the second floor of Fengming Restaurant. After entering the reception room, Eunuch Li's entourage closed the door from the outside.
"I've met His Royal Highness the Night King, and I've met the Night Princess." Eunuch Li knelt down respectfully.
"Get up." Ji Xun said as he pulled Shen Yuyu to sit at the table, "You sit down too, Eunuch Li.'
"I don't dare, old slave." Eunuch Li stood up and stood respectfully aside.
After a moment of silence, Ji Xun spoke up, "Already your father knows about me? Did King Xuan say that?"
"No, the emperor guessed it himself. Of course, it was confirmed by His Highness King Xuan." Eunuch Li smiled and replied that this locust plague made the emperor see more clearly that the prince and the night king were eager to use their mother's clan. He tried every possible means to fight for the throne, and the one who cared about the people was the one who saved the world's people, and the emperor seemed to have a clear mind.
However, he was frightened by the power of Zhou's ministers and the rule of the Zhou Dynasty that he could not establish a direct descendant, but he knew that the Night King was more suitable for that position than the prince, but he had to compromise.
After a pause, Eunuch Li continued: "The Emperor knows everything. Since His Highness the Night King has made up his mind to live in seclusion, the Emperor will not force His Highness to resume his status as the Night King. However, the Emperor also has something for His Highness to do and bring in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and an attendant came in holding an exquisite box.
Eunuch Li took the box and put it on the table and opened it. Shen Yuxi looked at it intently. It was full of a stack of deeds.
"This is a property managed privately by the royal family. The emperor spent a lot of effort to get it from the queen." Eunuch Li flipped through the pages, "There are more than a hundred shops of various sizes in various states and cities, covering all walks of life. However, .They are all industries that can no longer operate." If they weren't about to close down, would the Queen take it out?
Shen Yuyu was a little confused. Is the royal family still engaged in business? However, some TV dramas do show the royal family engaged in business. The dowry for a princess includes shops, farms, etc., so it is reasonable for the royal family to have its own industry.
After a pause, Eunuch Li continued: "The Emperor said that since His Highness the Night King wants to live in seclusion, he should go into business. With money in hand, he will naturally have power.
His words were profound, but it was not difficult for Shen Yuyu to hear the meaning. She knew that in modern H country, plutocrats control the political power, and the power of money cannot be underestimated.
Ji Xun also understood the good intentions of Emperor Qi Heng. Emperor Qi Heng stated more than once that he wanted to pass the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty to him, but he never thought about it, but he was killed. It is difficult to be an emperor, and it is even harder to be a good emperor. Emperor Qi Heng also has his own Unspeakable hardship.
After a silence, Eunuch Li spoke again: "Your Majesty has defied all opinions and appointed Wang Chang as General of the Red Flame Camp, right? The tiger talisman dedicated to the Red Flame Camp is still in the hands of His Highness the Night King, right?" What he said also meant something. profound.
Emperor Qi Heng was a wise king, but the prince was incompetent but was bound by the ancestral system and could not change the throne. Emperor Qi Heng could only do this. After explaining these things clearly, Eunuch Li resigned and left.
In the reception room, Ji Xun and Shen Yue were the only two people left. Shen Yue blinked her almond-shaped eyes and stared at Ji Xun, "What did the emperor mean to imply that Ah Xun is treason?"
"Of course not." Ji Xun pinched Shen Yuyu's little nose, "Father, this is to prevent the prince from rebelling."
With the locust plague, the prince's ambition is clearly exposed. If the prince really goes to the step of rebellion, the Night King can also take the opportunity to bring order to the chaos.
"That's right." Shen Yuyu thought for a while and realized that she really didn't know anything about things in the court.
"Leave the affairs of the court to your husband, and leave the business affairs to your wife." Ji Xun smoothed her long hair with his slender fingers, his voice gentle.
His father relies on him so much, so he will naturally not let down his expectations. Moreover, only by becoming stronger can he be able to protect the people he wants to protect.
"Hmm, I will practice hard." Shen Yue said, dragging the box over and looking through it.
In addition to the deeds of various shops, there is also a token that says "World Commercial Bank" on one side and "Big Boss" on the other side. This token should also represent the identity of the top manager of the commercial bank.
After seeing the token, Shen Yuyu began to look through the deed, and found the nearby shops in Lingzhou City and Luozhou City.
There are three shops and one farm in Lingzhou City, and there are three shops in Luozhou City.
In modern terms, these shops are all chain operations. For example, the inn is called Yunlai Inn, the restaurant is called "Penglai Restaurant", and the tea house is called "Xianming Tea House". Of course, all these shops belong to " Tianxia Commercial Bank'.
As for the extent of the store's losses, we will only know after going to the place and seeing the situation.
