As the monarch and his ministers, surrounded by the royal guards, walked towards the shore of the beautiful North Sea under the night sky, they were chatting and laughing happily.
It can be seen that Long Live Master is in high spirits at this moment.
"Hahaha."
Long Live Lord's hearty laughter sounded from time to time, and the guards, maids, and eunuchs all had fawning smiles on their faces.
Think carefully.
This man, who had just taken office, teamed up with his favorite generals, factory guards, and Ming Dynasty Wu Xun to bring down a chief minister of the cabinet with ulterior motives, as well as the party members behind him.
Although he is just an under-qualified first assistant.
but.
The Jin Party lost power and Zhang Siwei's resignation was enough to announce to the world.
The emperor officially takes charge!
Wanli, who was only 19 years old, used thunderous means to announce the beginning of his forty-year career as emperor. Throughout his life, he commanded the Ming army to conquer the north and south, clashing from left to right.
Give it a try for the excitement of Ming Dynasty!
Thoughts are fluctuating.
Zhu Yijun was striding ahead, while Shen Lie was following closely behind. As he walked, he agreed, but suddenly found out without warning.
The naive young man when we first met him has quietly become dignified and calm, taking on the appearance of an emperor.
Shen Lie was secretly shocked.
How many days has it been?
But Zhu Yijun ignored the emperor's manners and strolled to the lakeside. Then he pulled Shen Lie's sleeves and brought his beloved general to the North Sea.
The two of them took only a few guards and a few palace maids with them and boarded the flat-bottomed dragon boat, which was smooth and smooth.
Facing the breeze.
The guards rowed the big boat all the way to the middle of the lake.
And all around.
At this time, it was already full of lotus flowers.
Boating in the middle of the night.
The fragrance of flowers is pleasant.
Looking around, there is a white and endless sea of flowers. Some eunuchs and palace maids who have not had enough to eat are busy picking lotus roots and seeds in small boats.
I saw a dragon boat approaching suddenly.
The eunuchs and maids were frightened and hurriedly bowed down in the boat.
Zhu Yijun just pretended not to see it and said excitedly: "I have decreed that the culprits will be brought to justice. Puzhou's son Li Huai and many others will be arrested and brought to justice. There will be more than 300 Puzhou salt shops in the capital. More than a hundred grain stores were raided and their property confiscated!"
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise."
In troubled times, important codes should be used.
Kill those who deserve to be killed, copy those who deserve to be copied, and exile those who deserve to be exiled.
Party strife is so bloody.
Failed.
There will always be a group of people whose heads fall to the ground, and there are a group of lonely rich ladies in the Jiaofang Division. This must be the original intention of the Ming Dynasty Law to be so strict.
Serve as a warning!
Moreover.
Home raiding can be regarded as a good business that is sure to make a profit without losing money, and this business is tailor-made for factory guards, so it is definitely a huge profit.
In the endless sea of lotus flowers.
Zhu Yijun said excitedly again: "How should I reward you this time?"
Shen Lie was stunned.
Think for a moment.
Shen Lie asked tentatively: "Why don't your Majesty give some of the money gained from ransacking the house to your ministers?"
As he said this, Shen Lie grimaced.
Started crying poor.
"Your Majesty... I am suffering!"
The implication.
Shen Lie carefully hinted that His Majesty had obtained such a large sum of money by ransacking his house, at least hundreds of thousands of taels of snowflake silver. It would not be appropriate for him to put all of it into his own funds and eat alone.
"My Dongji Bureau is so poor that I can't even open the pot!"
Hear this.
Seeing Shen Lie's frowning face, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but laugh, but he quickly said calmly: "Okay, I'll give you... 20%!"
Shen Lie immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
atmosphere!
Two percent is really a lot!
The guards and maids serving on the side were all shocked. No wonder the emperor asked someone to row the dragon boat to the middle of the lake. It turned out to be to discuss with Master Shen how to divide the money.
Who has ever seen the emperor and his ministers having to discuss the matter when dividing money?
Is this cents?
It looks like dividing the spoils.
But of course no one dared to say this.
Anyway.
Zhu Yijun's interest was still high and he said with a smile: "Besides money, if you want any reward, tell me."
The contribution this time has been huge.
Just money.
It seems that it is not enough to express the joy in Long Live Lord's heart.
But Shen Lie really didn't want any reward, so he looked around, walked to the side of the dragon boat, and picked a lotus seed casually.
Peeled off.
Have a taste.
"Um."
It's really sweet.
Then Shen Lie's heart moved and he said softly: "Your Majesty wants to reward you, so please reward me with more lotus roots and lotus seeds in the lake."
Said.
Shen Lie began to look forward to it.
These are ingredients produced in the palace. If they are made into dishes, they will definitely sell for a high price.
Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, then he burst out laughing and said sarcastically: "You... are you still thinking about your food, Bibiafang?"
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "Yes."
That is the foundation of our Shen family's livelihood.
"Weichen is a cook. Your Majesty, don't underestimate the cook..."
When he said this, Shen Lie was actually thinking of the boss of Wagner's mercenaries, the cook named Prigogin.
That's a cruel person.
The most vicious man!
Even the arrogant and arrogant soldiers of Emperor Mi will become so cruel that their hearts tremble when they hear his name.
So why do you look down on the cook?
Zhu Yijun naturally didn't know what he was thinking.
But Long Live Master was very happy when he heard this, and said calmly: "Yes, all the lotus roots and seeds in this lake belong to you, I will ask them to pick them tomorrow!"
Shen Lie quickly thanked him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
In laughter.
Zhu Yijun suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "Now that there is a vacant position in the cabinet, who should I ask to fill it?"
It can be seen that Long live the Lord is very proud at this time. Now he holds the quota of a cabinet minister in his hand. No matter who is added to the throne, he will be grateful to him as the emperor.
Then the imperial party grew a lot.
And for him, the emperor who had just taken over the throne.
This matter is of great significance.
And all around.
The maids and eunuchs serving on the dragon boat all pricked up their ears and became nervous for some unknown reason.
Take it all in sight.
Shen Lie said lazily, "I don't know."
do not ask me.
"If I could manage the factory guard business clearly, I would have lost ten years of my life."
Being an official is like living in hell!
Shen Lie finally understood. Today is called playing the right game on the platform. When the emperor asks for advice, we will answer honestly. If you understand, you understand. If you don't understand, you don't understand.
But don’t brag!
If you exaggerate like a scholar, but find it difficult to realize it, delaying the court's plans and angering the emperor, I'm afraid it will end in death by a thousand cuts in the future.
Why bother?
Think about this.
Shen Lie complained honestly: "I really don't want to be such a dog official, I... might as well go home and be a cook!"
Isn't it good for my wife and children to be on the hot bed?
"Since I became this dog official, I...hey!"
In fact, Shen Lie wants to say that I am as busy as a dog all the time now. Even meeting my wife and being intimate with her have to be arranged in advance.
What fun is there in life?
As Shen Lie complained that he didn't want to get involved in the emperor's selection of cabinet ministers, Long Live Lord laughed even louder and taunted him a few more times.
