Chapter 1760 What a pity
The prince's eyes sparkled. "Your Majesty said that the more sound the law is, the more likely it is to be justified. I would like to fill in some of the laws. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
He didn't have that much time to track down the case files, but he could guarantee a notarization for the future.
Zhou Shuren affirmed the prince's intention, but "the threat cannot be eliminated."
Sometimes it's ridiculous. The more fair you are, the more brutal measures will be provoked. Then it will not be a threat but a silence.
The prince was silent. The officials protected each other and used endless ruthless means behind the scenes. However, "We have to change, right?"
Don't back down when difficulties are anticipated.
Zhou Shuren's smile deepened, "Go ahead, Prince."
He couldn't intervene but he could help watch. He wanted to see what the prince could do.
The prince received the affirmation and smiled, "Then I will not disturb you from doing your job."
"Prince, please."
The prince left with brisk steps. Zhou Shuren laughed out loud. He did a good job as a guide.
The prince's future monarch will continue to change and lay the foundation for reform for the next emperor, but unfortunately he cannot see it.
The next day, Lord Luo did not come to the morning court and was blocked at his doorstep demanding his dowry. Lord Luo was too embarrassed to attend the morning court, but even though he did not show up, the ministers still talked about it.
Officials who used to have good relations with the Luo family have begun to draw a clear line between themselves and the family, fearing that they would be classified into the same category.
Zhou Shuren felt relieved just watching this. These people took off their veil and looked like playboys. No, the playboys spent money openly without hiding anything, while these people were hypocritical and sanctimonious.
Two days later, the emperor got first-hand information and left Zhou Shuren alone. "The Luo family wants to sell their collection. Are you interested?"
Zhou Shuren's eyes sparkled, "Yes."
The emperor said cheerfully, "I knew you had it. Let's dress up and go together."
The emperor is also interested. He has been coveting the Luo family's collection for a long time. The Luo family has always kept it secret. This time it is the Luo family's own fault, so he doesn't need to be polite.
Zhou Shuren’s first reaction was to touch his wallet. What could he buy with less than 100 taels?
The emperor saw it and said, "I will lend you some money."
Zhou Shuren, "No interest."
The Emperor: ".You are not trying to cheat me, are you?"
Zhou Shuren stared, "Where is the trust between the monarch and his subjects?"
The emperor was speechless, "Go change your clothes."
After a while, Zhou Shuren came out after changing his clothes with his face disguised. He looked at himself in the mirror for a long time and found that he really didn't look like himself in the disguised appearance.
The emperor also changed his appearance, and Zhou Shuren fell silent.
The emperor laughed and said, "Let's go."
The Luo family opened their doors wide and did not sell their collection to outsiders. They even left a fig leaf behind, saying that they were inviting people to appreciate the books. The Luo family's collection was quite a sight to behold in Beijing, so the Luo family was very busy today.
When the emperor arrived, Zhou Shuren looked up at the guests who came in one after another.
The emperor lowered his voice and said, "Don't look for him anymore. I have informed Prince Qi that he will not come."
Zhou Shuren was speechless, so no matter how much he bought, it would all be the Prince of Qi's fault, and he gave the Emperor a thumbs up.
The emperor sneered, "I gave you some benefits."
The King of Qi was so happy that he was very happy to be blamed.
Zhou Shuren smiled and followed the emperor to the study. Books had already been placed in front of the study, all packed in boxes. Obviously, they were all ancient books.
Zhou Shuren's eyes were full of greed, and he lowered his voice, "Is this all the Luo family's collection?"
Your Majesty, "Only part of it."
Everyone who came today came for ancient books, there is no empty talk. Mr. Luo did not come out to preside over the event, but the eldest son of the Luo family. Everyone gave their price without hesitation.
Zhou Shuren didn't want to raise the price and be taken advantage of, so he just waited quietly.
Then the person behind the emperor spoke up. He said that Prince Qi should be given face, but Prince Chu kept looking at Prince Qi!
Zhou Shuren was in high spirits. The emperor's disguise had been discovered. Even if the emperor didn't say anything, the King of Chu and the King of Qi were very familiar with each other.
The emperor didn't care and asked Zhou Shuren, "Which one do you want to buy?"
Zhou Shuren pointed to two books without hesitation, and then the emperor discovered that sometimes the title of Prince of Qi was not useful, and there were actually people bidding for it.
After leaving Luo's house, the emperor said, "I should have disguised myself as a younger brother earlier."
Zhou Shuren held the two books in his arms and asked, "Is it true that these were not given to me by the Emperor?"
The emperor smiled wryly, "Marquis Zhou's face has become fatter recently."
Zhou Shuren, "Then give me a discount?"
The emperor reached out his hand to take the book, but Zhou Shuren dodged and smiled dryly, "I will definitely give the money to the emperor tomorrow."
Zhulan asked someone to buy the collection from the Luo family. Unfortunately, the Luo family did not send an invitation to the Zhou Mansion. Unfortunately, the Zhou Mansion had a lot of connections, so she still bought the collection she wanted.
Zhao brought Lin Qing over, and Zhu Lan smiled, "Come and sit down."
Zhao also smiled when she saw the books on the table, "Mom has also found someone to help."
"Yes, can Mingrui get the handwritten note?"
Zhao nodded and said, "I bought it, but it's a bit expensive."
Lin Qing smiled, "Thank you, mother."
Mrs. Zhao was beaming with joy. She was happy to spend money for her son, especially since her son needed the note for important business.
Zhu Lan said: "The Luo family has always kept their collections and refused to sell them. Now they are selling them, but I don't know if it is enough to pay for the dowry of the Duke's Mansion."
She heard that the Luo family had given away a lot of Zoya's dowry and it could not be taken back.
Zhao said, "What a pity for the old lady of the Luo family."
Zhulan thought of Miss Ji. The Luo family had fallen on hard times and had to sell off their ancestral collections. Miss Ji’s hatred should have dissipated by then.
On the other hand, Changzhi has already left Yang County and received the results of the investigation. "There is no problem."
The servant said, "After careful investigation, it is true that he died of an accident."
It was drizzling outside the carriage. Chang Zhi was staring at the rain in a trance. He had also passed the exam step by step and knew the importance of good health. "What a pity."
He saw the hidden books in the boy's house. He kept only a few enlightenment books and bought the rest.
He did not interfere too much with his child. If the boy had any ideas, he would convince his mother.
Changzhi thought of this and took out the well-preserved notes from the car cabinet. The woman had lived in such a difficult life that she had never thought of selling it. He also spent some effort to buy it.
The handwriting in the notes already had some style, and there were articles written for himself on them. Many of the ideas in the notes made him see the light. It was a pity that such a genius died in obscurity and had no chance to realize his ambitions and ideals.
The servant sensed his master's unrest. He felt that his master had changed after leaving the capital. He used to be devoted to studying.
Chang Zhi smiled and said, "Send this notebook back to the capital as soon as possible."
He thought the emperor would like it, and his father would like it too, but the joy was followed by disappointment.
It was sent back to the capital by express horse and soon reached the emperor's hands. The emperor was puzzled at first as to why a notebook was sent back. After reading it page by page, the emperor sat quietly for a long time.
The Crown Prince was rarely in the palace helping his father deal with memorials. Seeing that it was getting late, he looked up and saw that his father was lost in thought about something.
The prince looked at Eunuch Zhang, who shook his head slightly.
The emperor came back to his senses and asked, "Have you finished reviewing the memorials?"
The prince nodded, "Yes."
The reason why your father kept him in the palace was not because he missed him, but because he wanted to rest!
