So if the emperor went to the Qinzheng Palace, who was that bulging figure in the room? Could it be that someone was so desperate to sleep in the emperor's dragon bed?
"May I ask if any lady went in there yesterday?"
"Your Majesty, you haven't... Oh, I remember now. Your Majesty played chess with a young master yesterday. It seemed like they played until almost midnight, and Your Majesty went to court early in the morning."
That must be the young man who played chess with him. But speaking of young men, he had heard from those people that the man from the evil mansion came here to discuss matters with the emperor yesterday. Could it be that the two of them...
Xiao He didn't dare to think too much, so he took the memorial and went to the Qinzheng Hall. But he found that Zhao Xin, who should have been serious, was sitting there yawning, as if he hadn't slept well.
Nonsense, how can you sleep well if you haven’t slept for half the night?
He had originally planned to play a game of chess with him and then go to bed, but he never expected that He Zhizhou would become more and more excited as the game went on, and in the end he pulled him aside and refused to let him leave until he won.
It's like a drunken madman.
Zhao Xin didn't feel comfortable saying anything, so he stayed with him until early morning. The maids came in to help him change his clothes and comb his hair. However, He Zhizhou was so sleepy that he just lay down beside him and fell asleep.
It was really troublesome for him to sit alone in the hall and have to hold back his yawns. After such a swaying morning court, he felt like he was about to collapse.
It turns out that it is not suitable for staying up late when people get old.
He doesn't know what's happening to Crane State now.
Just as he was reviewing a few memorials, he heard a noise at the door, and then the door opened, letting in a cool breeze. Before he could react, the man knelt down. Xiao He's face was slightly sallow, and he held up the memorial with a strange expression.
"Is this memorial to your majesty true?"
This is just a joke. How can it be a fake memorial?
"Have you discovered anything?"
"If your majesty still wants the foundation of the Great Qin to be passed down for hundreds of years and for neighboring countries to be under the rule of the Great Qin, then declaring war in the middle of winter is probably inappropriate."
"Besides, we are on good terms with the Crown Prince of Dongwu. Your Majesty, don't you think this is worth discussing?"
?
When did he say he wanted to fight with Qi Peng? This is simply slander.
"Your Majesty, the memorial advises you not to go to war, especially in the middle of winter. Without money and food, disasters could easily occur!"
Plus, the common people don’t want to fight, and conscription is a big problem right now, so…”
"I said, I really didn't. If the rumor that we were childhood playmates spread during the war with the Eastern Wu, wouldn't I be contradicting myself?"
Xiao He sighed, then turned and asked him another question.
"Your Majesty, who is that person in your room? Is it unruly for him to sleep on your dragon bed?"
So He Zhizhou didn't sleep on the bed he'd arranged for him, but rather slept directly on his dragon bed. After lunch, I'll have to go ask him if this dragon bed is comfortable.
"It's okay if you don't follow the rules. You're my lucky star and will be very useful to me in the future. You don't understand anything right now, so let's just leave it at that."
"But what else does Xiao Aiqing want to talk to me about? If not, I have something to settle with you."
"How is your Majesty?"
"Please summon Liu Muzhi. I have something I want to ask him in person. It's mainly because I haven't asked about the national grain reserves for a while."
The main problem was that it was winter, and they had no money or food. They were afraid they wouldn't even make it through the winter. Now, they didn't just need to look for Liu Muzhi.
We also have to look at Heshen and his new policy in charge of protocol.
Although the New Year has not yet passed, it is coming soon.
I also have to pack up and wait for the New Year. Zhuge is now in charge of the court, and the Hanlin Academy is also under his control, so it's finally much more comfortable.
He felt that Liu Bei was a talented man and that he must be dismissed. Seeing that Heshen held two posts, there was a vacancy, so he let him manage the Shaofu.
The Shaofu was mainly responsible for the emperor's personal finances and daily affairs. Previously, they had intended to give it to Heshen, but because he was away celebrating the Anshen Festival, the protocol task was given to him.
No one wants the position of Shaofu either. Let him sit there.
Now, the people he appointed in the whole court are all the deputy officials.
No political achievements.
An interesting thing is that there is no chief officer above the officials this time, so although these people are of a lower level, they are just real but not famous.
At noon, He Zhizhou packed up and came over carrying a bundle.
"Your Majesty, I'll leave the things in here for you. Remember to take a look when you have time. As for me, I'll be leaving first. Someone over there needs me. Also, please persuade that little brother not to challenge me again."
“…”
"Okay, but why would you bring a gift now? Just take this thing back, and I will definitely persuade him. If possible, why don't you sign an autograph with that little brother?"
"What is a signature?"
"That slip of paper with your name on it counts as a signature. A signature given by an old gentleman you admire is as valuable a collectible as any other item. If that young man saw the signature you gave him, wouldn't he be overjoyed?"
"That's true. Okay, then I'll make an exception and sign this time."
After signing his name, he got on the horse outside and galloped away. After all, he was currently facing external and internal troubles. If he didn't deal with them quickly, there would be endless troubles.
I don’t know what changes are happening in the middle of winter.
With no money or food, they still had to rely on him as a support force. The foundation of these ten major families was just like this. At least half of them were just living off the facade.
How is this any different from the current scams of fortune tellers? They're completely deceiving people and their money. These ten major families are just drinking and spending money just to attract people.
Some people may ask, why do we need to bring some people here?
Fight a war.
In the middle of winter, you see that the other side has no money and no food, so you plan to attack and capture their city. Besides, you dare to do it, but now, the harvest is not good throughout the year. Others have a bad harvest, but you haven't harvested much either, right?
He was also waiting for those families to swell up their sleeves and show off their wealth.
He Zhizhou was just thinking about the robbers who suddenly jumped out from behind, but the noisy army blocked his way and prevented him from passing.
The way he wielded the sword was as poor as the acting in the troupe, which made him look at it with a wide eye.
"Excuse me, sir, what are you doing?"
"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, you must leave money for passage."
I've been going back and forth on this road many times, at least a hundred or eighty times. Why is this the first time I hear you're asking for money?
What does the money this country takes have to do with you?
