In her previous life, on Shen Lanxi's wedding night, her groom Zhou Ruyuan did not enter their room even once. The next morning, a servant reported that her family home had been raided and her ...
Chapter 583: Tianjin!
In the confrontation with Tianjin, the court once again took the lead.
The old master was so excited that he tripped and almost fell. Fortunately, the officials around him were quick to stop him.
"Old Grand Master, you are still working hard for our Great Zhou at your advanced age. I am touched and grateful."
"On behalf of the people of the world, I thank the old master!"
Mei Nanhua stood firm and said modestly: "Being loyal to our Great Zhou is the responsibility of a minister."
Shen Lanxi: "The old master is too modest. She is simply a role model for our generation."
"Someone, give the old master a seat!"
"From now on, the old master will sit down to attend court directly."
Mei Nanhua was flattered.
"No, no, there is a difference between the ruler and the minister, and the minister cannot overstep his authority."
Shen Lanxi: "How can this be called usurpation? The old Grand Tutor has devoted his whole life to the country and the people. How can you let me, a young man, sit while you stand during the court session? I feel uneasy and cannot bear it!"
Mei Nanhua still hesitated.
Shen Lanxi said firmly: "Old Master, please stop talking. I have made up my mind."
"Today, I will set a rule for the court officials. Those who are of the third rank or have made significant contributions to the court will be granted a seat!"
"Prime Minister Wu and Cabinet Liu also meet the above conditions and can also enjoy the privilege of sitting."
When Mei Nanhua saw that he was not alone, he did not refuse.
When Wu Yanzhi and Liu Mingxin heard that they were also included, they immediately bowed to thank the emperor for his grace.
"Long live His Majesty..."
Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "This world does not belong to me alone, it belongs to all officials and the people."
"Without the assistance of the ministers, how can I govern such a huge country by myself?"
"Not only do I need to take care of the dragon's body, you also need to take care of your bodies."
"Let us, the emperor and his subjects, work together to build the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Originally, the three regents needed three chairs.
Shen Lanxi had people prepare four.
All the officials looked at the empty sword without missing a single trace, and made guesses.
Your Majesty, who are you going to promote?
Afterwards, Wu Yanzhi slipped a silver note to the eunuch.
"Your Majesty said that even numbers are auspicious and odd numbers are unlucky. The chair is placed there for the court officials to see." "Whoever makes outstanding achievements in the future will be given the chair to sit on!"
Wu Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. That’s what you meant!
Soon, Shen Lanxi's reputation for treating old ministers well spread, and some old ministers who often worried about being replaced breathed a sigh of relief.
Isn't there a saying that goes, "A new emperor appoints new ministers." How can the new emperor trust these old ministers who were used by the previous emperor?
…
Tianjin is constantly taking action. Fortunately, after the previous Express News War, the people no longer believe it.
When there was a quick news from Tianjin, the people would do what they were supposed to do and watch the fun in their spare time.
Zhou Ruyuen and Wang Xiangyi have been married for some time. At first, she listened to her mother's advice and behaved herself. But as time went on, she saw that Zhou Ruyuen's attention was not on her, and her true nature gradually revealed itself.
From time to time, the sound of men whispering and women flirting could be heard in the bedroom.
That day, Zhou Qiwu saw children running together on the street and suddenly had an idea, so he immediately went to find his daughter.
Wang Xiangyi moved out of the Liu family before she married Zhou Ruyuan.
Because of Liu Chengen's death, the power of the Shipping Navy returned to his father Liu Binglin.
His son died unexpectedly, and he was the daughter of a princess. Now he wants to remarry, and he can't stop him.
At first, Liu Binglin didn't know that Wang Xiangyi was married to Zhou Ruyuan, and when he found out, it was too late.
The power in his hands had already been infiltrated by Zhou Qiwu.
Although he had long suspected his son's death, he had no clues.
Now Zhou Ruyuan suddenly appeared in Tianjin with his troops, catching Liu Binglin off guard, and he could only keep his troops in place.
Wang Xiangyi moved to a house next to the princess's mansion, which was smaller than the princess's mansion and the title deed also belonged to the princess's mansion.
"Where is the queen?" Zhou Qiwu entered from the side door connected to the mansion. That side door led directly to Wang Xiangyi's bedroom.
The servants didn't expect the third princess to come at this time. They were so scared that they knelt on the ground with pale faces.
"Princess……"
"The Queen..."
When Zhou Qiwu saw the servants' unnatural expressions, he immediately guessed that something was wrong.
"Princess, you can't go in." If the queen knew that they let the princess in, she would definitely beat them to death.
"Princess……"
Zhou Qiwu was furious: "You are rebelling, drag them away from me."
Four guards came up on the left and right and started attacking.
When the servants saw this, they were so scared that they all knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.
Zhou Qiwu walked straight in and before he pushed open the bedroom door, he heard the obscene sounds of men and women coming from inside.
Suddenly he became angry and embarrassed.
If it was Zhou Ruyuan inside, the servants would definitely not be so nervous.
Bang!
Kicked the door open.
The people inside were still being affectionate with each other, so absorbed in the conversation that they didn't even hear the loud noise of someone kicking on the door.
After seeing the scene clearly, Zhou Qiwu was so angry that he was shaking all over and his vision went dark.
A few wild mandarin ducks finally sensed something was wrong and immediately fled.
"Mother, why are you here..." Wang Xiangyi wrapped herself in the quilt nervously and winked at the three men.
"You go down first!"
Zhou Qiwu felt as if there was a ball of fire burning in his chest, and he could taste a fishy and sweet taste in his throat.
"you……"
“Pah…”
Zhou Qiwu was so angry that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He slapped Wang Xiangyi twice, causing her to fall onto the bed.
"I'll deal with you later!" After glaring at his daughter fiercely, Zhou Qiwu's eyes fell on the three men.
If she let them walk out openly, and if the news got out and Zhou Ruyuan heard it, her plan would be in vain.
"Cover them up and deal with them quietly."
The three men were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but were gagged and knocked unconscious by the guards.
They looked so skilled that it was obvious that this was not the first time they had dealt with something like this.
"Drag them away. Remember, three thieves came to the palace today. After being discovered by the Queen, they were dealt with according to the law."
"Yes!" Everyone in the room was so scared that they dared not say another word. Naturally, they would agree to whatever Zhou Qiwu said. As long as they were not killed together, it would be fine!
After dealing with the three men, Zhou Qiwu was still furious.
He walked up to his daughter and kicked her twice.
"You useless guy, you don't use your energy on the right people, but on a few worthless people."
"It was during the day before yesterday. You are so brave."
"If it was Zhou Ruyuan who came back this time, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Wang Xiangyi's face was flushed red, and it was unclear whether it was because of the shame of being caught or because of the slap.
"Mother, he has never set foot in my bedroom since he and I got married. He rarely comes back here. Even if his daughter wants him to see it, he can't!" Wang Xiangyi felt so aggrieved that she didn't explain and just vented her grievances.
