Chapter 2324 Who made the emperor angry?
"The Emperor has arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Feng walked in with an unhappy look on his face.
The three of them hurriedly stood up and kowtowed to him: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng walked in, waved his hand, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone: "Everyone get up."
Then, he sat on the couch.
The three of them then stood up. Concubine Shun and Concubine Yi rarely saw him, and they had no idea how to deal with an angry emperor. They stood there cautiously, not daring to breathe.
Only Nan Yan stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, are you tired?"
Zhu Feng sat back on the couch, his head tilted back slightly, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his hand. Upon hearing this, he only uttered a low "hmm," then opened his eyes, looked at them, and said, "You two are here."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Concubine Shun and Concubine Yi came here to discuss New Year's Eve with me."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Well, you all have worked hard."
"I dare not complain about my suffering."
"Have you finished discussing this?"
"It's almost done."
"Then, go down and rest."
He said, waving at them.
Concubine Yi and Concubine Shun also realized that the emperor had something to say to the imperial concubine, so they immediately took their leave and left the bedroom.
After they left, Nan Yan carefully walked to his side and whispered, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
“…”
"Who made the emperor angry?"
As she spoke, she took the cup of tea from Ran Xiaoyu and carefully placed it in front of Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng grabbed the teacup and almost wanted to throw it to the ground.
But in the end, I endured it.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Those people in the Zhejiang Provincial Government are all good-for-nothings!"
“…”
Nan Yan was frightened by him and shrugged her shoulders.
Ran Xiaoyu also stood aside, not daring to breathe. Fortunately, Zhu Feng was just cursing and had no intention of throwing things. Nan Yan thought about it and winked at Ran Xiaoyu. Ran Xiaoyu understood and immediately retreated.
Nan Yan hurriedly reached out to his chest and gently rubbed it to help him breathe better.
She said softly, "How did these good-for-nothings make the emperor angry?"
Zhu Feng panted for a while before angrily saying, "Do you remember that day when I dined at your place, I discussed with the King of Wei how to deal with the mulberry farmers' unrest, as well as how to resolve the issue of gifts for the special envoy to the Parthian Empire and trade with the countries along the way in the Western Regions?"
Nan Yan said, "Hasn't the Emperor and the King of Wei already come to an understanding on this matter?"
Zhu Feng said, "It has indeed been made clear. Moreover, I have been in the cabinet these days, working with the ministers to finalize the details of how to implement it, and then issued the decree. As a result—"
"What? Can't it be carried out?"
"That's not the case."
At this point, Zhu Feng's breath eased a little, and he said, "It turns out that the magistrate of Feng'an County had already done this a few days ago."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was stunned: "How did he do it?"
Zhu Feng said, "He used government funds to purchase 300 looms and distributed them to the mulberry farmers. Of course, the farmers didn't pay for the looms, but when they received them, they signed a document with the county government. The county government would purchase the woven silk at less than 70% of the market price."
"this--"
Hearing this, Nan Yan murmured, "Isn't this exactly what the Emperor and King Wei agreed to do?"
