Chapter 1182: Image Collapse
A few days later, Rong Enqing personally took the tax accounts of the Maritime Affairs Bureau to the Ministry of Revenue. When Rong Enqing entered the Ministry of Revenue, many people showed him courtesy.
Rong Enqing walked inside with a smile on his face. He had smiled a lot in recent days, and his fake smile became more and more perfect.
Zhou Shuren was just giving instructions when Rong Enqing arrived.
Zhou Shuren motioned for everyone to go down. Here they come. While he was acting, his face was indifferent. "You don't need to send the account book to me, Lord. And you don't need to send it to me either."
Rong Enqing smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, so I came to deliver it in person."
Zhou Shuren glanced at the open door and said, "I know that Lord Rong is a very busy man. He has to do errands and go to the palace."
Rong Enqing continued to smile, "Are you jealous, my Lord?"
"You are joking, Lord Hou. The account books should be sent to the right department. If they are not important, Lord Hou, please take them back."
Rong Enqing's expression changed, "The emperor now values me, and the fourth master has not entered the palace for many days."
Zhou Shuren frowned, "No thanks."
Rong Enqing shook his sleeves, turned around and left, still looking angry when he left the Ministry of Revenue.
Zhou Shuren saw Zhang Jinghong looking at him with worry in his eyes, "Are you worried about me?"
Zhang Jinghong was also confused. He thought that his days of comfort would finally come when the crown prince ascended the throne. As a result, he had heard too much about the emperor's irritability these days. Now, they are obviously relatives, but there are actually quite a few conflicts. "Sir, the emperor now values Lord Rong very much. Will he?"
Zhou Shuren blinked his eyes, stroked his beard, his expression changed, and he felt extremely heartbroken. The opportunity to take a vacation was right in front of him, but he didn't grab it!
Zhang Jinghong saw that Lord Zhou's face had changed, and he felt even more uneasy. "Lord?"
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "It's okay, I know what I'm doing, you will do your job well."
In the teahouse, Rongchuan thought he had arrived early, but it turned out that the King of Qi and the King of Chu had already arrived. "I have met the two princes."
Prince Qi was exhausted both physically and mentally. He didn't know how many times he had been scolded in these days. The last time his father overturned the dining table was yesterday when he overturned the kang table in the government hall and almost hit him.
King Qi said, "Sit wherever you like."
The King of Chu was even worse. He was already thin, and he had lost several pounds in the past few days. He looked at his younger brother with envy and said, "Have some tea."
Rong Chuan looked at his two brothers. They were really tortured by their father. Why did he feel that his father seemed to be very happy to torture his brothers?
It's good enough just to know it in your heart.
King Qi, "I heard that you entered the palace yesterday."
Rongchuan nodded, "Yes, I will go to the palace to report."
King Qi asked hurriedly, "Were you well yesterday?"
Rongchuan, "......I am fine."
Prince Qi felt unbalanced. Rongchuan entered the palace later than him yesterday, so he was scolded out of the palace, but Rongchuan was not scolded!
Rongchuan narrowed his eyes and said that the tea served for the dinner was not tasty. King Qi wanted to find balance from him!
Rong Chuan drank the tea and said, "Yesterday I also took away some snacks from the palace. The emperor gave me a lot of them. They were all freshly made by the kitchen. Yes, there are also some tribute fruits. When I return to the Marquis' Mansion, I will give some to the two princes."
King Qi, "......."
My father is biased. He is blatantly biased.
King Chu, "......."
I want to vomit blood, and he is still losing weight!
Rong Chuan couldn't help laughing in his heart. He seemed to understand why his father had to trouble several princes.
When Rong Enqing arrived at the Maritime Affairs Office, he saw Gu Ren's carriage. Rong Enqing frowned, still unhappy, "Why did you come to the Maritime Affairs Office to look for me?"
Gu Ren asked, "Who made the Marquis angry?"
Rong Enqing snorted, "It's still Lord Zhou. Forget it, why am I telling you this? What do you want to see me about?"
Gu Ren took out the names of several caravans, "These caravans are about to enter the port, and I hope you can help them."
Rong Enqing took the paper and quickly wrote it down, then smiled and said, "You are really good. With so many caravans, you must have made a lot of money this year."
"My Lord, this is a gift to you as a token of my respect."
Rong Enqing took the box calmly, and then said: "I understand. If you need help in the future, I will help you in consideration of your contribution in helping me."
Gu Ren looked happy on the surface but sneered in his heart, thinking that Rong Enqing was really stupid. When he was looking forward to Rong Enqing's self-destruction, his blood boiled when he thought about the Rong family being really destroyed this time.
Gu Ren said again: "My Lord, even though you have suddenly gained the emperor's favor, it is still difficult for you to obey the people. I think you can learn from Lord Zhou."
Rong Enqing pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, "Okay, you can go back now."
Gu Ren was in a very good mood. He was waiting for Zhou Shuren to get into trouble so that he could collect some interest first.
Zhou Shuren really didn’t know. He would be very happy if he knew.
Zhou family, Zhulan sent Qi away. These days, the families of the women in the prince's mansion have been asking for news, so her place has become lively.
Zhulan wanted to close the door and thank the guests, but she couldn't.
Changzhong fanned his mother with a fan, "Mom, isn't it wrong to do more now?"
"That's right. It's just that the sudden change made some people who were drifting lose their direction. So you have to remember that you have to keep your feet on the ground no matter what."
Changzhong smiled and said, "My son understands. Brother Wu has taught him everything."
Zhulan is very confident about the future of her youngest son. Each of her sons has his own path, and her youngest son has Wu Ming to protect him.
Changzhong whispered, "Brother Wu Ming told his son that he will go to the Ministry of Personnel next year."
Zhulan was surprised, "He told you this?"
Changzhong nodded, "Yes, and I also told my son to calm down now."
Zhu Lan thought that a real boss is a real boss. Even with the sudden change, he is still as steady as a mountain. "You should learn from your brother Wu."
Changzhong, "My son will."
In the palace, Rong Enqing wrote down the caravan in his memory and said, "Gu Ren hates Lord Zhou very much and still wants to deceive me."
Your Majesty, "What do you think?"
Rong Enqing replied, "I think we can go with the flow and make Gu Ren relax his vigilance."
The Zhang family hid too deeply, and the few places they found secretly were all fake. There were a lot of clues, but it would be too slow to investigate them one by one.
The emperor rejected it directly, "No."
Rong Enqing, "?"
The emperor was deeply distressed. If Zhou Shuren didn't want to slack off all the time, he would have agreed. "You don't understand."
Rong Enqing, "......."
Although it is for the sake of stability, a little bit of going with the flow will not affect stability. Besides, Lord Zhou is not a person who knows everything. He just cooperated very well in the Ministry of Revenue.
He didn't feel tired at all to cooperate with Lord Zhou!
The emperor explained in a rare good-tempered manner, "He is too lazy. Don't be fooled by his appearance as if he would go through fire and water for me and devote his whole life to the court. That's all a lie. If I provoke him, he will cooperate and do something big, and then he can rest."
Rong Enqing, "......."
So he was too naive. Mr. Zhou had such a hard-working image in the Ministry of Revenue! It turned out to be all fake!!
