Chapter 349: Spreading Rumors and Causing Trouble



A great traitor treated him with courtesy, like a servant. To be honest, he couldn't bear such courtesy. Besides, if the system gave others gifts, it would be fine if it gave them a little money. The traitor relied on money to support him!

"Heshen, help me take over this kingdom!"

?

Heshen shook his empty sleeves. Although they all had experiences in their previous lives, it was not easy to become wealthy in a short period of time.

"Your Majesty, can we make a deal?"

Zhao Xin knew that the system would not give him anything good just because he was unlucky.

"speak."

"I will borrow two hundred thousand taels from you, and you must return five hundred thousand within three months."

“…”

I wonder where Heshen got the guts to borrow money from him?

So Zhao Xin took out an IOU.

Two hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. The money in the national treasury belongs to the public, but who dares to move it under everyone's nose?

Lu Qian had calculated the internal accounts very carefully. Mr. Cui's favorite student didn't seem to be a good person, and the 200,000 yuan was the money he had saved by scrimping and saving.

Heshen sighed and went to Siberia.

He probably never expected that the kings here were so poor. What can he do? Being poor doesn't mean he will be poor forever.

He Shen was really broke. Nowadays, he needed money to run all sorts of affairs. He wanted to borrow 200,000 taels from the emperor, which was actually not much. If he had...

When talking about sad things, he used the IOU as a tissue.

“…”

This old thief Heshen probably deliberately doesn't want to pay back the money.

As an emperor, he couldn't chase after a subject to ask for money. Heshen, the old villain, had a good idea and threw the paper into the iron basket beside him.

"If you don't return it by then, you will be punished with thirty heavy beatings."

"How about giving you a 20% discount and giving you 27 strokes of the cane?"

He Shen managed to stand firmly and chuckled twice: "How could you not pay back the money, right?"

Heshen left, and his body seemed to be swaying, with one hand covering his butt as he ran away in embarrassment, and Yu Huatian came in and saw this.

Yu Huatian frowned, his eyes darting between the two sides, and he looked like a fool.

I didn't expect that His Majesty would actually——

"What are you thinking about? How has the Hanlin Academy been these past two days?"

Yu Huatian recovered and quickly responded, but Zhao Xin was troubled by his expression. What was he thinking?

"Your Majesty, things have been unsettled in the West Factory lately."

What is the recent...

"I don't know where this perverse rumor has spread, saying that you are undoubtedly a tyrant."

"Also, there are gangs causing trouble on the streets now. We're still investigating who they are."

“…”

This year there was no harvest, and Zhao Xin was hit by drought and floods. There were only a few people in the big family, and the only place they could hide was probably the few bedrooms in the imperial palace.

It's really hard to be an emperor, with people scolding you behind your back every day.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly, and kill him after you find out!"

These days, some fictitious gangs pop up every day. It would be fine if they were just shouting about saving the people, but they also hang around with an air of "the emperor is an idiot and a tyrant". Fortunately, he was in a good mood and didn't order their arrest.

However, he didn't dare to order an arrest, so he just joked about it.

If an order is given...

With all those people who dislike him, the prison must be overcrowded, right?

But this time it really affected the people around and damaged the emperor's reputation. How could I, Zhao Xin, the supreme emperor, let you complain like this?

Just arrest him directly, he actually wants to know who is behind this.

But this time, it was very difficult to catch him. Every time, the people from the Western Factory would explode on the spot. Every time, they couldn't catch him. He was so skilled in martial arts that he slipped away like a fish paddling in the water.

During the investigation in the past few days, it was discovered that this person not only gathered intelligence but also stole things. The most important thing was that he stuffed paper balls into people's doors every day saying that the Qin emperor was a tyrant.

Not only does it damage his image as an emperor, it's also frustrating.

But the most upset were the group of people who saw the paper with his portrait drawn on it casually crumpled up and thrown into the stove at home.

"If you catch me, I'll ask you who drew my portrait!"

The generals had never expected that after such a long period of leisure, the emperor would ask them to chase a small gang member, and even said that they could not keep up.

Bai Qi found it boring and drank West Lake Longjing tea in the palace.

The general ran back and forth, but failed to catch the man's sleeve. It seemed that he was not running fast and was slipping.

Maybe that person also knew that they couldn't catch him, so he would just sit there leisurely, drink tea, and wait for them to catch him. Over time, it became a kind of fun...

Of course, there are some that are really hard to catch, and some that are just too lazy to catch and come here to buy roast chicken.

Ever since the emperor invited them to dinner a while ago, the roast chicken from Juxianzhuang has really caught their eyes.

As a result, five days passed and Zhao Xin still hadn't seen the person who maliciously slandered him.

The rumors on the street also changed from the emperor being a good-for-nothing to the generals under the emperor being good-for-nothings... People usually didn't dare to say it openly, and most of the time it was just after-dinner talk at home.

Until disputes arose in the court and the people were divided into two factions.

One faction supported Zhao Xin, while the other was out to destroy him. He currently felt that he was quite good with the court officials... although he was not very friendly towards the corrupt officials.

Now there is a famine, gangs are everywhere, and the court is also in turmoil.

This year's historical facts have reminded us more than once that this is a year of famine.

"Your Majesty, there is a rebellion at the border."

Could it be that the general who controls the four directions has rebelled?

He kept a straight face and didn't ask, but the commotion below only grew louder. He was afraid someone might be trying to start an uprising and overthrow his position!

As soon as these words were spoken, the group that supported Zhao Xin became even more noisy, while the group that supported Cui Cen became as quiet as a quail.

There is really no good thing for Zhao Xin to do.

but…

etc!

Start an uprising?

Is it possible that the protagonist is going to follow the crowd?

He claimed that this was definitely not the best time to start an uprising. Although he really didn't want to see the protagonist come out with the halo, Chu Zhan would have to come out sooner or later, so there was nothing he could do but accept his fate.

However, even though he is facing external and internal troubles, it is still easy for him to defeat such a small soldier. With a group of reinforcements and his orders, anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!

He is now determined to support the Funan family and kick out the Cui family. No one can stop him from doing what he wants!

Now he no longer cares about the double-edged sword. He is simply unhappy with the Cui family's power, and the Cui family's power really can't let Zhao Xin live in peace like this, so he really can't sit still.

You never know when his court will be overthrown. Let's see if he has the chance to sit on the throne.

Look at the position he holds, he is both in charge of justice and protocol, and he is in charge of his money and his life. It would be fine if this guy just takes the money and does nothing, but he also makes things difficult for Zhao Xin everywhere.

Do you really think he is a soft persimmon to be squeezed?

"The situation is not bad. I already have a clue."
