Chapter 1014: My Dad is Awesome

Zhou Family, not long after Zhulan returned home, Changlian came back from the Imperial Academy, "There is still one and a half months left. Xuzhou is not far from the capital, and it only takes half a month by boat. When are you going to leave?"

Chang Lian was looking forward to life in Xuzhou and wanted to go there earlier. "Mom, I want to leave in half a month. I'll leave half a month to buy a house and settle down."

Zhulan asked, "Do you have money to buy a house?"

Chang Lian was embarrassed to ask his parents for money. He knew how other children lived, and it was not easy for his parents to earn money. "My son has money, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Zhulan was reluctant to leave. Changlian was the child she was closest to, and he was the one she chatted with the most. "You must take good care of yourself when you go out."

"Mom, don't worry. You and Dad have taught me so much, and I won't suffer any loss."

Zhulan smiled and said, "Okay, go back and help Chuchu pack her luggage. We don't know when we can return to Beijing after this trip to Xuzhou, so please prepare more luggage."

Chang Lian's lips moved. He was reluctant to leave home, but his wings had already grown. He would never be able to stand on his own if he stayed at home. He turned around and took more and more firm steps.

In the third room, Zhao and Su Xuan were both helping, but Li's belly was too big so she didn't come to make trouble.

The third room has a lot of stuff, and they have bought a lot over the years. Chuchu wants to take everything away. "You don't know how many things there are until you start to clean them up."

Zhao envied her third brother's wife. The imperial edict for her third brother's wife came down at the same time as her third brother's. Now her third brother's wife was already a person of peace. She looked so beautiful in the dress. She thought that in the future her third brother's wife would rise step by step like their mother. Then she sighed and said that she could not compare.

Su Xuan was also a little envious. She envied her third brother for having a smooth career, and she didn't know what her husband's future career would be like.

After Chang Lian came back, Zhao and Su Xuan left together.

Dong Chuchu, "Have you been to the main courtyard?"

"Well, I came back and chatted with my mother for a while. How is the packing going?"

"You said there's no need to rush to pack. I'm not in a hurry either. I'm just packing Yuyi's luggage."

She originally didn't want to take the two children with her, but then she thought that the two children were still too young to leave their parents, and that their mother-in-law would worry too much if the children were too young. After discussing with her husband, she decided to take them both away, and wait a few years until the children were older, and send them back to the capital to gain experience and to let their mother-in-law educate them.

Chang Lian, "After leaving Beijing, there is a vast world ahead."

Dong Chuchu was still a little uneasy about going to a strange place. Seeing her husband's longing look, she curled the corners of her lips and thought, wherever her husband is, that is home.

The capital city did not react much to the fact that the third son of the Zhou family was on the list of the person in charge. Instead, the city paid more and more attention to the Zhou family. First, Zhou Xuehan married into the Marquis' Mansion, and then Zhou Changlian was appointed as an official. The Zhou family is no longer supported by only Zhou Shuren alone. The roots of the Zhou family have already taken root in the soil of the capital city. As long as the younger generations work hard, the Zhou family will flourish sooner or later.

In the palace, Zhou Shuren had been there for a while, but he found that several princes were there, so he could only wait patiently.

The emperor seemed to be listening to his sons exposing each other's shortcomings, but in fact his mind was wandering. When they all calmed down, the emperor spoke, "Are you done quarreling?"

The Prince of Qi and his companions looked at each other, then lowered their heads and dared not look their father in the eye.

The emperor was getting more and more impatient. "You guys can go back after you've finished arguing."

The King of Qi wanted to speak, but when he met his father's impatient eyes, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Son, take your leave."

The remaining few also opened their mouths and retreated.

Zhou Shuren was outside and noticed that the faces of several princes were very ugly, so he hurriedly greeted them.

The King of Qi stared at Zhou Shuren. It was the beginning of the new year, and Zhou Shuren's son was appointed as an official. Zhou Shuren was also the first minister summoned by his father. A smile appeared on his face. "Master Zhou, you must have been waiting for a long time. Come in quickly."

The King of Chu cursed the King of Qi in his heart, but he would not open his mouth. The Chu Palace had often targeted the Zhou Palace.

King Liang was now displeased with everything he saw. He rolled his eyes and left first.

Zhang Yang wanted to speak, but unfortunately Zhou Shuren had already entered the inner room.

Zhou Shuren came in and brought the account book that the emperor wanted, then stepped aside. As for why the princes came today, he didn't care at all.

The emperor looked at it quickly and said, "The court is short of money."

Zhou Shuren was having a headache. It was only the beginning of the new year. He had taken out a lot of money in advance last year. He was short of money. "Yes."

The emperor motioned Zhou Shuren to sit down and put down the account book. "I thought that raiding the Feng family would add some to the national treasury, but I didn't expect that."

Zhou Shuren was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so he naturally knew how much cash the Feng family's industries brought in. In order to support the Fourth Prince, Prince Liang, the Feng family had almost emptied their family assets over the years. Why were there so many pieces of evidence against the Feng family? Of course, it was because of the money.

Therefore, it can be seen that the Fourth Prince, Prince Liang, has considerable power behind him and has many people under his control.

Zhou Shuren didn't want to discuss the prince with the emperor. If the emperor didn't like him, it was the emperor. He was just an outsider. "Your Majesty, my third son will leave Beijing in a few days."

Zhou Shuren saw the emperor looking at him, paused and continued, "My third son has to take care of the Zhou family, so as a father, I am very worried. I wish I could let my son take away all the cautious words and deeds around me."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "You are not afraid."

"I have never done anything wrong, and I have nothing to fear."

The emperor thought, this is the only one who dared to ask him for someone openly without fear of being monitored. Zhou Shuren clearly knows that he has been monitored all the time, and he cannot leave if he speaks prudently. They have already gained Zhou Shuren's trust. "I know, just this once."

Zhou Shuren grinned, "I know that Your Majesty is the wisest, so Your Majesty can afford to support a few more of your ministers."

The emperor almost rolled his eyes. You think they are just blown here by the wind. Every spy is the result of hard work. If Zhou Shuren hadn't discovered it last time, he wouldn't have been willing to give so many at once. He didn't want to see Zhou Shuren anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up."

Zhou Shuren had been thinking about getting someone but never had the chance. Now that he had succeeded, he retreated quickly. The emperor's people followed Chang Lian, not only to protect Chang Lian, but also to monitor the Maritime Branch. It was such a blatant surveillance, and the emperor was reluctant but also happy.

The Emperor signaled the Crown Prince to come out, and the Crown Prince said, "Father, Lord Zhou is really not afraid?"

The emperor snorted, "This old fox is hoping that I will have more people in the Zhou Mansion now. Not only will the Zhou Mansion be safe, but the old fox also wants to tell me that the Zhou family is not involved in anything and is open and aboveboard. He wants to reassure me."

The Zhou family and the Ninghou Mansion had formed an alliance, and there were many rumors that Zhou Shuren was leaning towards the prince, which he naturally knew.

The prince thought to himself, an old fox is always an old fox, his actions every month have multiple meanings, very clever.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren returned home feeling very happy. He said to Chang Lian, "Your father asked the emperor for a few people for you. You must always keep them with you."

Chang Lian, "......."

He knew what kind of person his father wanted, so he exclaimed, "My father is so awesome!"
