Zhao Xin found himself transmigrated into a novel, becoming the great villain, a delusional tyrant. This tyrant was obsessed with wine and women, lingering in the imperial harem and never attending...
"Your Majesty~!"
Seeing that Zhao Xin ignored them, Mr. Yaoshan and the others wanted to speak again, but Cao Xiong ignored them. Before Zhao Xin finished speaking, he sang loudly, "Arise!"
The imperial carriage followed.
Fang Ruiyao and others were just a few old men, and they were no match for these elite soldiers. As soon as the team moved, no one paid special attention to them and they were automatically pushed aside.
They wanted to argue, but Zhao Xin was protected by a large army, so they could not move forward.
By the time they realized what was happening, the imperial carriage had already gone far away.
Several old men couldn't help but stamp their feet in anger, "Zhao Xin is too rude, how can he behave like a wise leader?"
In another carriage, Nangong Shang watched all this with a cold eye, sneering, "A bunch of idiots, actually wanting to covet the treasure in the hands of the emperor? Do they really think the emperor is such a good man that they can be captured by them with just a few words?"
"They are just greedy by nature. It's always been like this, so it's no surprise!"
Han Zhuowu also shook his head.
He was also a little surprised that these people would come up with such an idea.
In this situation, one must either become an enemy of the emperor or compromise with him.
As a result, these people ignored the conflict between the emperor and the aristocratic families, and instead set their sights on the so-called "Treasure of Emperor Yu". What kind of mentality is this?
But on second thought, greed is the nature of aristocratic families.
Moreover, for aristocratic families, greed is not always a derogatory term.
If it weren't for greed, how could the aristocratic family have grown to its current size?
Are the so-called family traditions of the various aristocratic families in the world really what these families originally possessed?
Most of them were obtained by them through trickery and robbery.
Moreover, the noble families in the world are indeed most interested in this kind of "nameless" things.
Because the so-called righteousness was originally fabricated by them.
In addition, if you think about it carefully, the idea of taking Emperor Yu's treasure is also a good temptation.
If those people had really confirmed the title of the treasure of Confucianism, then this matter would be feasible.
Thinking of this, Han Zhuowu couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and looked at Fang Ruiyao and others again. Perhaps he shouldn't underestimate these people.
Of course, the person who should not be underestimated the most is the emperor, who is so vigilant.
In this situation, it would be difficult for ordinary people to be so alert at the first time, right?
He might even think of catering to Confucianism without spending any money.
How could he know that Zhao Xin, as a time traveler, had no interest in becoming a so-called Confucian bootlicker.
As the Son of Heaven, everyone and every doctrine in this world should cater to him. It is too embarrassing to cater to the so-called Confucianism.
Even when he returned to Beijing this time, he was already prepared to dig into the ideological corners of the current Confucianists, or the aristocratic families, and was naturally very vigilant in this regard.
He even had a basic framework for how to dig this corner.
But that is a story for later. At this time, Zhao Xin ignored Fang Ruiyao and others.
"Prime Minister Cui, thank you all for your hard work during my absence from the capital."
Zhao Xin sat on his horse, with a group of important ministers headed by Cui Luan accompanying him, and the rest of the officials following closely behind.
Hearing Zhao Xin's repeated apology, Cui Luan quickly clasped his hands and said, "I dare not say it's hard work. Your Majesty, working for the country is the real hardship."
The other officials also hurriedly followed suit, saying, "Yes, yes, we didn't actually contribute much in the capital. If there's any hard work, it's really Liu Shaoqing, Kou Shaoqing, and the others who have done the hard work."
"hehe……"
Zhao Xin couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. He could naturally tell that although everyone was praising Liu Muzhi, Kou Zhunren and others on the surface, there was a sour taste in their words.
It's nothing more than saying that Liu Muzhi and others are seizing power and undermining them.
However, although Zhao Xin could hear it, he pretended not to hear it.
He only has a few close confidants in the court now. If he doesn't use them, does he have to use these guys whose backgrounds he doesn't know?
Of course they still need to be used, but we have to see how these people perform before deciding who to use and how to use them.
…
There are eight gates in Qinjing. It was no big deal to leave the capital quietly in disguise before, but this time the imperial carriage had to take a specific route to return to the capital.
People usually enter the city through Dingding Gate, then walk along Zhuque Street, pass Zhuque Gate, enter the Forbidden City, pass Chengtian Gate and enter the Zichen Palace.
This is the rule. Although Zhao Xin thinks this is just taking off pants to fart, such rules still have to be followed.
There is no way, after all, the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.
But this required a detour, and by the time the group entered Dingding Gate, it was already dark and the lights in the capital were just coming on.
It is against the rules to enter the capital at this time, but there is no other way. The emperor cannot be allowed to wait outside the door all night, so the officials of Taichang can only pretend that nothing happened.
However, in this way, the people who came to see the emperor's carriage could not see the emperor's face clearly. They could only see the emperor sitting on his horse in the shade of palace lanterns, surrounded by his ministers.
However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people at all. As soon as they entered Dingding Gate, they saw crowds of people on both sides of the road. In the distance, there were even many young boys climbing onto the roofs and looking around excitedly.
Seeing this situation, Cao Xiong and others were afraid that something might happen, so they wanted to send someone to drive them away, but they were stopped by Zhao Xin.
For Zhao Xin, the people's enthusiasm is itself a manifestation of their people's will.
If the people saw his imperial carriage and scattered in hiding, that would be more terrifying than any other chaos.
But what surprised Zhao Xin was that he didn't see many refugees along the way.
