Chapter 3 Unscrupulous Transactions (Part 2)

*******

Zhang Huang made a big fuss and called two guards to escort me back to the bedroom with great momentum. Xiao Duozi's movements were extremely fast, and the two imperial doctors rushed into the bedroom almost like the wind from my front and back.

When the two imperial doctors saw my head, they were so scared that they almost flew out. They hurriedly helped me with their hands and feet trembling. They were worthy of being the imperial doctor, the top doctor among ancient Chinese doctors, and they were skillful in handling wounds. In a short while, the wound was dealt with. In fact, I was not seriously injured, and at most it looked a bit horrible.

Zhang Huang hurried in from outside the bedroom and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites and the Ministers are waiting outside the hall for their visit. Do you want to invite them in?"

"Xuan." I said lightly, stopping Lan'er from helping me clean up the blood on my cheeks.

After a while, the leader was the minister I saw yesterday. He led a large group of officials of all kinds and walked in with a nervous expression.

"I am the minister of the Ministry of Rites Tao Qian, I will pay a long life to see my emperor." Although Tao Qian, the Minister of Rites, looked flustered, his steps were steady and powerful.

"Get up." I stopped and pretended to be weak, signaling Lan'er to help me wipe the blood on my face.

When the ministers saw that my face was covered in blood, they were all excited. They crawled on the ground again, dared not get up, and shouted that they deserved death.

Alas, these guys made me feel upset about this set of things. I was clearly apologizing, but I was really ruling out my own crime. However, at this moment, I still couldn't move them. Killing a Taifu was enough for me to work hard.

"Hmph, who knows what you are thinking?" I snorted heavily and said angrily: "Maybe, I'm hoping that I'll die."

For a moment, a group of old guys began to cry and burst into tears, calling the sky and the earth to show their minds and their loyalty to me.

"I also know that all my beloved and loyal to me and the country." I pretended to be impersonating and said in a daze: "I was just being so angry by the thief Zhao, I was just taking my anger on you. Humph, the thief Zhao is really too much. I have to interfere with everything about me. What are you thinking I am? I even started to act like crazy when I disagree. My beloved should take it as a warning. If I don't come to care about your private affairs, don't come to ask about my private affairs. Of course, your private affairs should not be too out of order."

Of course, the old cunning ministers understood the fact that the Taifu Zhao was actually a move to kill chickens and respect monkeys. However, my last few words indirectly pointed out to them that I just wanted to enjoy more and told them not to care about me. With this as a condition, I would not care about some of his ugly phenomena in private. As long as I don’t make too much trouble, I wouldn’t bother to care about it. After all, this throne is not really mine.

As soon as I said this, I could clearly see that most people's faces relaxed and they showed a happiness. Obviously, they had accepted my deal in their hearts. There were a few guys who were quick to react, and even scolded Mr. Zhao in the hall with all kinds of troubles.

Those guys' swearing skills are so great that I, a modern person, can make my ears straight and sigh with great insight.

"Okay, I'm going to rest." I waved my hand in annoyance and signaled them to retreat.

Tao Qian, the Minister of Rites, was unwilling to leave, which made me roll my eyes and glar, "Is there any other thing about Tao Aiqing?"

"I think the emperor's actions are inappropriate." Tao Qian looked at me without fear.

This old guy has a pretty tough temper. However, there was a hint of clarity and no unnecessary distractions in his eyes. Maybe, this old guy is really a loyal minister. Good guy, at this critical moment, he dares to scold me for being wrong.

I stared at him for a while before slowly saying, "Then according to Tao Aiqing's words, what should I do?"

Tao Qian was not afraid of my gaze at all. Although his tone was firm, he did not have the aggressive momentum of Grand Tutor Zhao: "I think that the emperor should work hard to govern, rather than be in harmony with the annihilation of the slander and corrupt the court."

Haha, the old guy also understood it tightly. Although he was a little disregarded, I was not angry at all. It was strange that when Master Zhao pointed at me in front of me, I couldn't help but feel angry. But I felt a little admiration for Tao Qian. Perhaps, the faint righteousness emitted from Tao Qian made me feel disappointed.

"Tao Aiqing's words are reasonable." I smiled slightly, but said again: "Then please help me think about whether there is a good way to make the country stable and enjoy it easily."

Tao Qian was a little angry, probably not expecting that the emperor in front of him was so shameless. However, although his face changed slightly, he still endured it and continued to say righteously and sternly: "All the emperors of Hongzhi have always regarded diligence as the first and enjoyment as the last. The old ministers did not prevent the emperor from enjoying themselves, but should only make adjustments to their lives after diligence."

Old man, isn't his mind so unopen? I laughed from my heart, and this old man was still full of my appetite. So he threw a big problem to him: "With my dear words, I want me to work diligently, where should I start?"

"The people are the first priority in the country. A country with a rich country must be safe first, and a rich country will be strong." Tao Qian said these things, and his spirit gradually rose: "If you want the people to be safe, you must at least have to eat well without cold. The old ministers thought that the emperor should start with the lives of the people."

"Tao Aiqing is indeed a pillar of the country who cares about the country and the people." I slapped this kind of money-free flattery and said: "However, I don't know yet what the specific lives of the people of the Great Wu Dynasty are? How can I do this? I also know that those guys from the Ministry of Revenue may not be able to rely on them."

Tao Qian's eyes flashed with joy, and suddenly he knelt down and said, "The old minister is relieved to have this thought. This matter cannot be impatient. After returning to the capital, the gentle minister will definitely assist the emperor and understand the people's life thoroughly."

This old guy is still emotional. He is the one who is the one who is in love. Even if he is enjoying it, he can handle state affairs seriously. It is considered that I will give that guy a favor, after all, he gave the emperor to me.

"The most urgent task is to celebrate the Fengshan ceremony tomorrow morning." Tao Qian showed a hint of worry at this time: "The emperors who held the Fengshan ceremony in all dynasties were all emperors with great merit. Now, many people in the court and the country are dissatisfied with the emperor's ceremony."

Dissatisfied with me? Haha, that's it's clear that I'm an emperor without virtue? It's all because of the wrong emperor's title. However, since this old guy likes to be troublesome, he kicked the ball to him: "Yes, I have heard of this. However, the Fengshan ceremony should be the responsibility of the minister's department? If it is screwed up, I will only ask you."

Tao Qian looked embarrassed and wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it. I guess that guy must be thinking about it. It was obviously the Fengshan trick you, the unvirtuous emperor, insisted on creating, but now it has been overwhelmed by me.

"In this way, we can only follow the will of heaven." Tao Qian said with an innocent look on his face and said with confidence: "Maybe, my emperor is really an unparalleled emperor, and auspiciousness from heaven may not be determined."

The old fox, what kind of auspiciousness comes from the sky? It is clearly burying me. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration in my mind, auspiciousness is coming. Hehe, there is a smile. He stared at Tao Qian with a smile on his face.

When Tao Qian saw that I had been watching him, he was uncomfortable after a long time. He kept looking at him secretly, afraid that something was wrong.

"Auspiciousness is a good idea." I laughed maliciously: "Tao Aiqing is worthy of being a loyal old minister. I will go back and give you a good reward."

Now Tao Qian was confused and said in a daze: "What does the emperor mean? I don't understand."

"Your best friend, since you say there is auspiciousness from heaven, there must be auspiciousness from heaven." I said, and gave him a strange look: "Your best friend, the survival of the country and the people's worries are all about you!"

"Ah?" Tao Qian was also a smart man after all, and his face changed rapidly: "Your Majesty must not be. Such a fake auspicious sign may cause anger to the sky. Furthermore, if the government heard the truth, his reputation for the emperor would be lowered."

"Hehe, have you ever heard of the principle of throwing apart the jar?" I said leisurely: "My reputation is already that way. No matter how low it is, it may not be much lower. On the contrary, if it succeeds, my reputation may have a big reversal. At that time, it will be even more natural to save the people."
