Qiu Mobai's grandfather was called Qiu Shanxi! He was the first eunuch in charge of the palace after the old emperor ascended the throne.
He was a cautious person, and was very good at dealing with people. He was loyal to the old emperor. He was the old emperor's confidant, and the old emperor valued him very much.
Unfortunately, Qiu Shanxi suffered from a heart disease which became increasingly serious. His only wish was to return to his hometown in Shu, to return to his roots!
The old emperor finally agreed and promoted him to the third rank, and he returned home in glory.
Unexpectedly, after Qiu Shanxi returned to her hometown, she gradually recovered and lived until now.
Sometimes the old emperor felt that he had been fooled. But the people he sent out reported it.
Although Qiu Shanxi did not die, her health was not very good and she was often in critical condition.
The old emperor then stopped paying attention to the matter.
It was not until more than a decade later, when he heard that his adopted grandson had become independent, that he thought of this person again.
Qiu Mobai answered carefully!
"Grandpa has a heart disease and often gets sick! The doctor said he can't travel far!"
"But grandpa is always thinking about His Majesty! He wants to risk his life to come to Bianjing City to see His Majesty. I just can't bear it..."
This statement shows that Qiu Shanxi was stopped by Qiu Mobai.
The whole private room was eerily quiet, with a full sense of oppression.
"Forget it, no need to come! I don't want to see him look sick and weak!"
"Let him rest in peace in his native land!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qiu Mobai bowed again.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
The old emperor glanced at Eunuch Lian indifferently.
Even the father-in-law hurried to open the door.
Outside the door is Yu Jinzhi.
As soon as he entered, the father-in-law closed the door again, blocking the prying eyes of outsiders.
Yu Jinzhi paid his respects.
"Your Majesty, I, Yu Jinzhi, pay my respects to His Majesty!"
The old emperor nodded.
"How's the investigation going?"
Yu Jinzhi spoke slowly and leisurely.
"It was the Dongfang Restaurant across the street who used shady tactics to suppress Yipinxuan for profit!"
"Replace Yipinxuan!"
He hesitated and stammered.
The old emperor frowned.
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
Yu Jinzhi quickly knelt down and said.
"This is not the first vicious competition. Previously, there were cloth shops, teahouses, and brothels! They all encountered vicious competition cases!"
"I have found out that the boss behind them is the Crown Prince's second son, Zhao Zeling!"
The rest, needless to say, is clear to everyone.
This is a party struggle. In order to win over the court officials to stand on the same side, a lot of money is definitely needed.
Zhao Zeling must have seen the booming business of Yipinxuan, so he wanted to get involved. But Qiu Mobai didn't agree. So he opened another restaurant, destroyed Yipinxuan, became the leader of the restaurant industry, and made more money.
There are others, such as cloth shops, brothels, etc. It’s the same principle.
Qiu Mobai’s Huamanlou also went bankrupt.
The old emperor frowned in thought.
Qiu Mobai quickly knelt down and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just want to do business properly! I don't want to get involved in anything else! Now this... really makes me panic!"
"I am willing to give 30% of the profits from Yipinxuan to His Majesty!"
The old emperor tapped the table lightly with his fingers and did not answer.
Eunuch Lian observed the man's expression, frowned, and coughed lightly.
"Master Qiu, 30% profit, isn't this too bad?"
Qiu Mobai's eyes flickered slightly.
He lowered his head and said.
"I mean, 30% of the profits will be given to His Majesty to be used for his private treasury!
There is also a 10% profit. In the name of the prince, we will build a porridge shed for the disaster victims! I wish the prince good health! May the blessings last forever! "
The old emperor raised his eyebrows, "Then you are thoughtful!"
"Thirty years after the founding of the country, the treasury is indeed not sufficient!" This is to use the 30% profit of Yipinxuan directly to the treasury. The old emperor does not intend to use it for personal use.
"If you have any problems in the future, you can find Ze Cheng!" This is to let Qiu Mobai stand in the camp of the legitimate son. Let the prince and the grandson of the emperor be his backers.
It is also a disguised way to gain support for the crown prince and the eldest grandson of the emperor.
Qiu Mobai nodded, very grateful, and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Lord! I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
The old emperor likes to deal with smart people, and he is quite satisfied with Qiu Mobai! The previous unhappiness was also swept away.
The old emperor waved his hand, "Get up!"
Qiu Mobai stood up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Even the eunuch quickly smiled to smooth things over!
"Oh, it's rare for His Majesty to leave the palace incognito! Master Qiu, please let His Majesty taste your specialty!"
Qiu Mobai smiled and said, "I will arrange it right away! I will make His Majesty satisfied!"
After he finished speaking, he saw the old emperor nod, and then he walked out quickly.
Qiu Mobai walked out of the door, his cheerful expression immediately turned gloomy and cold. He clenched his hands tightly.
This was the first time he was so close to the old emperor. He was struggling inside.
Finally, he shook his head. No, he couldn't let years of preparation go to waste! Killing the old emperor didn't mean anything at all! What he wanted was bigger!
He quickly adjusted his expression, restored his original gentle and elegant appearance, and went down to arrange meals for the old emperor.
In the room
Yu Jinzhi stood in the room a little awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
He was afraid that the old emperor would ask him to stay for dinner because he was afraid that he would suffer from indigestion.
Fortunately, the old emperor didn't want him to disturb his meal. He just frowned and looked at him.
"Are you free? Nothing to do?"
Yu Jinzhi was stunned.
The old emperor said quietly, "Now that we have found out everything, let's arrest him!"
Yu Jin was shocked. Was he asked to arrest Zhao Zeling? That was the prince's favorite son. If it weren't for the old emperor, Zhao Zecheng's position would have been lost long ago!
That’s right, the old emperor likes the eldest grandson because he is the legitimate son! But the prince’s favorite is the second son, Zhao Zeling!
He felt that Zhao Zeling missed him more.
Yu Jinzhi was still struggling there.
Eunuch Lian looked at him for a long time without moving, and coughed lightly.
Yu Jinzhi reacted and saw the old emperor's cold eyes. He shuddered, quickly lowered his head and retreated.
Yes, the prince is not the emperor yet. He should follow the emperor's will first. He is a royalist!
Yu Jinzhi quickly knelt down and walked out!
Hua Wanru came to Yipinxuan after taking care of Liu who was in poor health and put her to bed.
After asking the servant at the door and finding out which room Hua Qingqing and the others were in, I hurried up.
At the corner of the stairs, he bumped into someone head-on.
"sorry!"
The two said in unison! They looked at each other at the same time. Then they were both stunned and laughed!
"I'm sorry, Miss Hua, I bumped into you!"
Hua Wanru shook her head.
"I was walking too fast and bumped into you, sir!"
