Chapter 214 The house leaked and it rained all night
"Master, you should be called Duke now. Your Majesty is in the study room. You can go alone."
"His Majesty just ordered us not to get close, so I won't take the Duke in."
The eunuch spoke softly, with a flattering smile on his face.
Zhao Kang smiled and nodded, hurriedly walked into the courtyard and came to the imperial study room, and gently opened the door.
Her Majesty the Empress was sitting behind the desk, and her eyes lit up when she saw him coming.
Zhao Kang closed the door of the royal study and walked forward quickly, hugged Her Majesty the Empress, and greedily sniffed the fragrance from her hair.
"Thanks to you today."
Xiao Linglong struggled symbolically for a few times, and then Zhao Kang still held her, saying softly: "It's me who should thank you. They have been running rampant for so many years, and finally they fell into trouble with you. No more
They and the rest are just small fish and shrimps that cannot make any waves."
Zhao Kang laughed and said, "Zhao Jinsheng, this old guy, would never even think that you are mine."
Her Majesty the Empress blushed when she heard this and pinched Zhao Kang's thigh with two fingers: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Hey, sooner or later!"
With a silly laugh, Zhao Kang picked them up and let the empress sit on his lap. He said softly: "After this time, they should be honest for a while, but it is still difficult to find an excuse to uproot them. The rabbit will do it if he is anxious."
Biting people, let alone a member of a noble family?"
Xiao Linglong hummed, resting her head on Zhao Kang's chest, and said helplessly: "They have been in business for too long and have deep roots. This time it seems that they have been injured, but this is only on the surface, and secretly it is definitely not the case.
Accumulate less.”
"Take your time and eat away step by step. When they realize that they are powerless, that's when they will never be able to turn over."
Zhao Kang sighed, Xiao Linglong raised her head and asked: "What should we do next?"
Unknowingly, Her Majesty the Empress has regarded Zhao Kang as her backbone and always asks for Zhao Kang's opinion in everything.
But instead of feeling inappropriate, she actually enjoyed this feeling. The feeling of having a solid backing no matter what happened made Xiao Linglong feel particularly at ease.
When she was in danger and was ordered to ascend the throne and proclaim herself emperor, no one could help her. She had to make all decisions on her own, and she couldn't retreat at all!
Because there is no way out!
And if you make one wrong step, you will end up dead!
But it's different now. There are people who will stand firmly on her side no matter what happens and help her at all costs!
This makes Xiao Linglong no longer afraid and no longer has to pretend to be strong!
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has been abolished, but the functions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot be eliminated."
Zhao Kang narrowed his eyes: "Let's set up a Jin Yiwei."
"Jinyiwei? What is that?" Xiao Linglong asked curiously.
Zhao Kang: "For departments that directly serve the royal family, they only obey the emperor's orders and supervise all officials. Let's take back the power bit by bit first."
Zhao Kang and Xiao Linglong talked about the functional structure of the Jin Yiwei. He only had a partial understanding of this thing. At most, he knew something about Fei Yu Sui Embroidered Spring Knife.
But Xiao Linglong was different. She was the emperor. After hearing Zhao Kang give a brief summary, she immediately understood that this was the power she had always needed!
In a flash of thought, Her Majesty the Empress had several ideas flashing through her mind.
But soon she became worried again: "But I don't think other ministers will agree to this."
Zhao Kang sneered: "There's no reason why they don't agree! Tomorrow you will go to court to get angry about the matter of Long Xingyi's family and use it as an excuse."
"I'm catering to them. Now that I'm gaining momentum, I've just been granted the title of Duke. As long as I show a little intention of making good friends, they will sell me this face. Then it will be a matter of course."
Her Majesty the Empress nodded. Zhao Kang couldn't help but look so cute. He picked up her pretty face and kissed her.
After a while.
Her Majesty the Empress slapped Zhao Kang's restless hand away, blushing: "It's still daytime..."
"I saw it when I came here. The maids and eunuchs are all seven or eight hundred steps away. Your Majesty, I can't sleep because of everything I'm thinking about you these days!"
"The environment of this royal study is so nice. Just lie down and let me check your body!"
…
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad, at the time when Zhao Kang was being affectionate with Her Majesty the Empress.
The dozen or so officials who had just had their homes confiscated and given away all their property were on the verge of tears. Looking at the almost empty official residence, they felt regretful.
But there is no regret medicine in the world. They can only be happy that at least their official positions are still there. As long as they can continue to be officials, they will not be afraid of losing their money.
Taifu Zhao Jinsheng and Lin Yu got together as soon as they came to court, with extremely vicious eyes in their eyes.
"This time, I really fell into the hands of Zhao Kang!"
Zhao Jinsheng said angrily: "I didn't expect that this guy actually chose to fight us to the death, and so much money was handed over to His Majesty!"
Lin Yu smiled coldly: "It's a good plan to drag us into trouble! This guy is so cruel! Master, we have to be careful in the future."
Zhao Jinsheng nodded: "Although the family property was confiscated this time, it also reminded us that His Majesty is now completely leaning towards the dog thief Zhao Kang. If we target the dog thief Zhao Kang in the future, we must first find out whether His Majesty is involved in it.
."
"That's right. Fortunately, we still have businesses in other places. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would really be paupers this time."
Lin Yu sighed, and Zhao Jinsheng smiled and said: "If the money is gone, we can make more money, but we only have one life. Besides, it's not like we don't have backup plans."
At this time, the housekeeper of Zhao Mansion knocked on the door with a letter: "Master, Master, it's a letter from Youzhou."
"Oh? What are you talking about?"
Zhao Jinsheng laughed and asked the housekeeper to come in and take the letter, thinking that it should be the payment received this year.
However, after seeing the contents of the letter clearly, Zhao Jinsheng was so frightened that he could not even hold a piece of paper.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at the letter that fell to the ground, Lin Yu was surprised and quickly asked with concern.
Zhao Jinsheng said blankly: "Our twelve chambers of commerce in Youzhou are all gone."
"What did you say! How could this be gone!"
Lin Yu was shocked, and Zhao Jinsheng was also in disbelief. He quickly picked up the letter on the ground and read it again.
This time it was confirmed. In an instant, Zhao Jinsheng collapsed on the ground with just one thought in his mind.
Ruined!
Lin Yu grabbed the letter and saw the name of his own chamber of commerce written on it, as well as more than a dozen chambers of commerce, large and small.
The letter records that the bandits in Qingfeng Village in Youzhou were so inhumane that they attacked eighteen chambers of commerce including their family, killing over a thousand people, and all the finances of the eighteen chambers of commerce were robbed by the bandits!
"Damn bandits! I'm going to fuck your grandma!"
Another mouthful of blood spurted out, and Lin Yu screamed and collapsed on the ground.
This is probably because the house leaked and it rained all night.
