"You mean, the Lotus Hall, which raises prices, is your business?" Zhu Yunqiu still had a light face and spoke slowly.
Zhao Shi's face was full of tears, "It's my family who has a dry share in Lianhuatang. In recent years, the business of Lianhuatang is growing, and it's my family who is working hard behind the scenes!" As he said that, he kowtowed heavily, "I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry
The Emperor and the Empress, I am willing to apologize for death!”
Plop!
As soon as Zhao Shi finished speaking, He Guangyi knelt down heavily and kowtowed without anyone looking.
Suddenly, Li Jinglong understood.
Perhaps there was no Chengen Hou’s Mansion on that memorial, and He Guangyi didn’t even write it on!
"You..." Li Jinglong said in surprise, "You are so fucking treacherous!"
He Guangyi could have written it on him. He was fine if he wrote it on, but he chose to hide the most risk. No, it was not that there was a risk, but that it could not be hidden at all.
But he still didn't write it because he knew that it was written, and the most uncomfortable thing was the emperor.
Sure enough, Zhu Yun's cold gaze fell on He Guangyi.
"Ha, you have learned to be indifferent to me, right?"
Dangdang, blood fell down He Guangyi's forehead.
His voice was crying, "I deserve to die most, but I..." He said, looking up and said, "Long live, I dare not die if I die..." He cried
Then, he continued, "All mistakes are my faults. Please punish me!"
"The Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion was blinded by villains. As far as I know, even if there are merchants outside to respect money, it is not complete..."
"What's not complete?" Zhu Yunhuang was still staring at He Guangyi.
Dongdong, He Guangyi kowtowed and dared not speak.
Zhu Yunxi knew that he had not finished what that half of the sentence was. Even if Chengen Hou’s mansion made money, it would not be all spent on his Zhao family.
He suddenly remembered that Zhao Ning'er said last night that her parents gave her birthday gift. The Zhao family always delivered things to the palace, but the Zhao family's foundation was far inferior to other noble families.
Zhu Yunxiu looked down at the memorial in his hand, and the familiar names on it made his heart feel like a knife.
It only involves officials, as He Guangyi said.
The princess and son-in-law, the mother tribe of several small vassal kings in the palace, and the nobles of Huaixi...
There are also the Zhao family of Chengenhou who has not been written on it, the queen's mother's family.
But at this moment, Zhu Yunxiu didn't mean much to blame He Guangyi, but instead he had a faint feeling...
"He didn't write, he was saving my face. He knew that even if he didn't say it, some people would say it, but he still risked his head losing his head and chose to protect the royal face and not let himself be embarrassed!"
Zhu Yunxiu understood He Guangyi’s thoughts, and Li Jinglong understood why He Guangyi did this, but Zhao Shi was still confused.
He kowtowed desperately, "My family... has lost the emperor's face and damaged his identity." As he said, he looked up full of tears, "I wish I had received it on behalf of my father, but I...."
"How do you do it?" Zhu Yunxiu looked at him and said.
"The Zhao family was originally a family of minor officials, and was honored because of the emperor and the empress. They did not know how to be solemn, and they would be humiliating the country's system!" Zhao Shi said word by word, "My father is old, and as a son, I dare not underestimate me.
I dared to ask the emperor to dismiss me for all my meritorious duties and send me to the Liaodong Army to serve. I am willing to be a small soldier in the Ming Dynasty!
"I am willing to use this life to repay the grace of the Emperor and the Empress!"
Zhu Yunxiu still looked at Zhao Shi, feeling a little mixed with emotion. He saw the boy in front of him growing up.
The nature is not bad, and the personality is down-to-earth.
Sometimes Zhu Yunxiu often thought that in the later Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong's brother-in-law could even pacify the gold and pass the till the Junggar, and his brother-in-law might not be bad in the future, so he was so particularly cultivated.
Zhu Yunxiu said in his heart, "Children are good children, and they have the ambition to understand the righteousness!"
In fact, he is not a person who is not in the world. The royal relatives are not greedy for money, just like dogs not eating shit. What is this matter to the Zhao family? The sons of the beautiful country who worship the elders all go to the driver to fight Qiu Feng!
In terms of human nature, Lianhuatang hit him at the gun. If he hadn't made a temporary attempt to ask He Guangyi to investigate, even if these unscrupulous merchants in the capital increased the price ten times, who would care?
But he is the emperor, and the emperors are selfish.
The emperor is to be strict with others. If the emperor talks about human nature, then there will be corrupt officials in the world.
At this time, the turtlema came in from outside, "Your Majesty, Mr. Lian is here!"
"Get up first! Go outside the door!" Zhu Yunxiu was a little tired, waved to Zhao Shi, and said to the turtle, "Let him come in!"
~~
Lian Zining walked to the door in a hurry, with blisters bulging from the corners of his mouth.
He was also shocked when he arrived at the door. The uncle retreated from the inside and knelt straight at the door, wiping his tears.
Lian Zining quickly cheered up and stepped in, "I..."
"No need to polite!" Zhu Yunxiu was still wearing clothes and sitting without any image of a king. "I will talk to you later!" As he said that, he hooked his fingers at He Guangyi.
The latter used hands and feet to climb to the edge of the Arhat's bed.
"If it weren't for the Huaibei disaster, there was still something to use for you, 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, and the living crime cannot be escaped!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "Take off your python robe, take back the Qilin robe, and remove all official positions. Still walking on the seat of the commander of the Jinyiwei!" As he said, he drew He Guangyi's goose hat,
"Remember, there is only one head!"
"I, thank you for your kindness!" He Guangyi kowtowed desperately.
This attitude made Lian Zining even more frightened. The emperor asked his brother-in-law to kneel outside the door in the morning and even cleaned up He Guangyi like this. He couldn't help but look at Li Jinglong, but found that the latter was staring at the emperor blankly...
hair.
"What's your business?" Zhu Yunxiu said, suppressing the fire in his heart.
Lian Zining bowed quickly, "Last night, I summoned the pharmaceutical store in the capital overnight and talked about the procurement matters. Several pharmacies have a clear understanding of the great power. They not only supply medicinal materials at their capital, but also offer prescriptions and provide people with their hands! But...
...”
As he said that, he continued, "But there are also several medicine shops that are insatiable. The Huaibei disaster actually wanted to bargain with the court, and also increased the price of medicinal materials by a few percent..."
He was talking nonstop, but he didn't notice that Li Jinglong's eyes were about to pop out.
"Sophisticated!" Li Jinglong said in his heart, "Don't talk about Lotus Hall at this time!"
"Later, I asked privately that those medicine shops that wanted to make money from the national crisis were led by Lotus Hall!" Lian Zining continued, "not only raised the price of medicines from the court, but also were expensive patent medicines. Moreover,
I said I would like to give you a good reward, and even asked someone to make peace with me, and even moved out..."
"You are suffering from plague!" Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, "Why did I tell you last night? Do you just pretend that those who have increased their prices have not seen them for the time being? Can't you ignore them? So sophisticated, so sophisticated,
Are you just so embarrassed to see the sand?”
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxiu could no longer help but be angry.
"Ha! It turns out that it is not just about raising prices and hoarding goods, but also about making money from the national crisis?"
He sneered, "Tsk tsk, I really have a backer on my back, so I'm unscrupulous!" As he said, he shouted outside, "Come, please invite Marquis Cheng'en into the palace!"
Zhu Yunxi looked over in surprise, and saw Li Jinglong lifting his official robe and kneeling down, "I have something to say!"
"You want to exonerate others' love?" Zhu Yunhuang's face was unkind.
This is why the emperor is strict with others, because people's greed is invisible, and this greed is even more unscrupulous under the cover of power.
"I am not expelling others!" Li Jinglong pondered and said, "Actually, I already know about the Lotus Hall! I apologize for the crime! But I am not asking for your crime from the emperor, but..."
"What is it?" Zhu Yunsheng said.
"In order to maintain family dignity, the family of nobles and nobles in the country has business activities openly and secretly!" Li Jinglong whispered, "Hao Cheng'en's family is poor, but there are hundreds of people in the capital, and there are also palaces...
So the expense is huge!”
"Besides, it is actually Lotus Hall who pretends to be a tiger under the banner of Chengenhou. As far as I know, Chengenhou does not know many things."
Zhu Yunxiu sneered, "Well, you said you weren't helping others excuse me?"
"In fact, the reason why the medicine shops like Lianhuatang dare to do this is because... because of the deliberate indulgence of the ministers and others, there are still people secretly praising and killing them!"
"Huh?" Zhu Yunyu didn't expect this statement.
"There is actually nothing in Cheng'enhou's family that can be done. After I learned that the Lotus Hall had passed the Cheng'enhou, I privately told my subordinates not to fight with the Lotus Hall, and they were all giving in to the business world.
I thought that Cheng Enhou would not be able to have a poor family background, but I thought that after all, it was..."
"Where are you praising me?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Although I am guilty, I think less like me. Some people think that after I make the Lotus Hall bigger, the shopkeeper who is ignorant of being too arrogant will definitely make Cheng'en Hou make a fool of himself. They are good-looking and funny! So it is not ruled out that someone is not ruled out.
Fire in the dark!”
"It's hard to justify yourself..."
Before Zhu Yunyu could finish his words, he saw Li Jinglong grin and burst into tears.
"Emperor...Emperor..."
"Why are you crying?" Zhu Yunxiu said angrily.
"I am crying for you!" Li Jinglong stepped forward, "You... are so difficult!" As he said, pointing to Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, "You are upright in your youth, but... you have white hair."
The affairs of the country and the country, the country and the country are all pressing on your shoulders!"
"Your Majesty, it's so hard for you! Woo woo woo woo!"
"You are the emperor, but all the things in the world have fallen on you! I feel sorry for you!"
