Chapter 1148 Familiar Taste, Fear
The emperor was given a headache by the crying and raised his hand to signal Eunuch Liu. Then the guards came in, covered the man's mouth and dragged him out. The old housekeeper of the Shi family also followed Eunuch Liu out.
The emperor pressed his eyebrows. It had come true, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. "Back then, this family couldn't raise two children, so they fled to Pingzhou City. The legitimate son of the Shi family was seriously ill, and a wandering Taoist priest Piancai said he would be a substitute, so he went around the city looking for a newborn child with a suitable horoscope to raise with him. This family couldn't bear to give up their son, because they knew the child would die if they gave him away."
Seeing that everyone was listening to him attentively, the Emperor paused and continued, "So the child that my uncle got for free was given to them in exchange for a large sum of money, and the family took the money and left. The eldest son of the Shi family did not survive, and my uncle's child was supposed to be buried with him, but unexpectedly, the old man of the Shi family met a bandit and died while out on the road."
The emperor drank a sip of tea, and the prince continued, "The mistress of the family at that time didn't want the Shi family to be swallowed up by the clan, so she said that the legitimate son was better, and the Taoist's method worked, so my uncle's child was raised as the legitimate son."
Zhou Shuren was stunned when he heard this. This child's life was not easy. He had gone through so many ups and downs. He was so lucky to still be alive. Zhou Shuren muttered, "May our ancestors bless him."
The words were spoken softly, but Yuyun heard them. He chanted Amitabha and repeated, "May our ancestors bless us."
Prince, "."
He also thought so. The fact that he survived several disasters was all thanks to the blessings of his ancestors.
The prince looked at his father again. Indeed, Shi Qing still had a son. His ancestors had indeed blessed him.
Yu Yun moved his lips and muttered a few times. In the end, all his words turned into sighs. What else could he do? He could only acknowledge him as the legitimate heir of the family. He could only make up for Shi Huai. "In fact, Shi Huai's character is not bad. I have been dating him these days, although I am a little selfish."
Well, it's more than just selfishness. Influenced by the environment since childhood, Shi Huai has many problems.
The emperor twitched his lips, thinking of the treasury of Rong Garden and the industrial silver donated by the Shi family. He pulled his lips and said, "The blueprint of Rong Garden should be revised. Fourth uncle, please take a look when you have time. I don't remember much about the buildings of Rong Garden. Please see what needs to be revised and restored. I will pay for the money."
Yu Yun was stunned and turned his head stiffly. What did the emperor just call him?
Zhou Shuren sprayed the tea in his mouth. Fourth uncle?
Yu Yin was choked by himself and said dryly, "Your Majesty, you can't do that."
He can't bear it, it's scary!
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "You deserve it. You are the only elder left now."
The palace was quiet for a while. Zhou Shuren touched his face and finally drank his tea in silence. He finally understood that the emperor was not embarrassed, and they were the ones who were embarrassed.
Yu Yun could only change the subject, "The Emperor is going to give this Rong Garden to the Rong family?"
The emperor nodded, "Since I have found my uncle's descendants, I will naturally return them. However, the Rong family's house is huge, and it is where many members of the Rong family live. I have divided Rong Garden into three parts. The part of the foreign branch will be given to my uncle's descendants, one part will be given to my fourth uncle, and the rest will be given to my sixth aunt."
Zhou Shuren kept coughing and staring at the emperor in amazement, as if to say, "What did you say? I must be hallucinating."
The emperor had this idea a long time ago, but at that time he thought that if the descendants of his uncle were not found, then Rongyuan would be divided into three parts, and the part containing the treasury would naturally belong to the royal family. Now that the person has been found, it will be given to the descendants of his uncle.
As for Zhou Shuren, Zhou Shuren's mother did make contributions, and Zhou Shuren has also made great contributions over the years, many of which have not been made public. He knows every bit of these years. Instead of turning it into Rongyuan, it is better to give it to Zhou Shuren.
Of course there was a more important reason. He agreed with Zhou Shuren's reluctance to teach Xuhao. He sincerely hoped that Zhou Shuren could watch over the court for him. It was good that the Zhou family was always loyal to the imperial power.
Yu Yin was an old and shrewd man. He touched his sleeves and twitched his lips. Shu Ren was his nephew, so it was different. From the emperor's assignment and the way he addressed him, it was clear that the emperor was not as important to the Shi family as Shu Ren. He restrained the emotions in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, now that the matter has been clarified, do you think you should summon Shi Huai and Shi Qing?"
Your Majesty, "Today, there are a lot of things to do. I am going to think about how to restore the reputation of the Rong family and make up for the honor owed to the Rong family. Please ask Fourth Uncle to go to the Shi family and make things clear."
Yu Yin, "Yes."
Zhou Shuren was shocked back to his senses. He felt that from the emperor calling him Sixth Aunt several times and wanting to give him the place of the Rong family, he felt that the long-awaited God had finally come, but this time he really didn't want it!
The emperor did not keep Zhou Shuren and Yuyun. As they walked out of the palace, Zhou Shuren lowered his voice and said, "I was wondering why the emperor agreed so easily last time. It turns out that the emperor did not want me to explain to the crown prince and the eldest son. The emperor has always had something in mind!"
Yuyun, "Your Majesty never does business at a loss."
Zhou Shuren saw that his fourth uncle looked quite pitiful and seemed to have aged a few years. "I'll go with you."
Yu Yin waved his hand, "No, just go back to the Ministry of Revenue. I know you are busy."
Zhou Shuren didn't want to go to Shi's house either. After all, he was a foreigner and he rarely went to the theater. "Okay."
In the Zheng Palace, the Crown Prince saw his father personally writing the imperial edict, and he held back and said, "Father, Shi Qing is still in contact with Gu Ren. If you announce your identity at this time, will Gu Ren run away?"
The emperor's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "No, the Zhang family was so proud of wiping out the Rong family back then. Now the living members of the Rong family are still connected to them. They will only be happy and excited. If they can wipe them out once, they can wipe them out a second time. If they use the Rong family to attack the emperor, they will definitely be even more excited."
The emperor paused and continued sarcastically, "You know, Yuyun has met Gu Ren, and Yuyun pretended not to know him. The Zhang family has nothing to fear. Those who survived don't know the Zhang family. They will only try their best to get close to Shi Qing and restore their status. They need to cultivate and control merchants."
The prince understood his father's next move, "Father, you are wise."
The emperor looked at the written imperial edict and felt guilty towards Shi Qing, but not towards Shi Huai. He then thought of Shi Qing's wife and thought, "It was all my fault after all."
He was not going to interfere. Whether it was divorce or whatever, it was Shi Qing's business.
The emperor was very tired. Who could have come into the world first and have such a coincidence? Now that the industry has been returned to the royal family, it has been integrated into the royal family's industry. It is difficult to give it up. He looked up at his son and said, "I remember."
The prince felt a chill on his back and almost took a step back. What did his father remember? He always felt that he was going to go bankrupt, and lose a lot of money!
The emperor glared, "What are you afraid of?"
The prince has experienced too much in the past, how could he not be afraid? His father wants to compensate the Rong family now, so naturally he is afraid!
