Chapter 1265: Eldest Son-in-Law

Zhou Shuren was very surprised at his son-in-law's painting skills. Zhou Shuren had to admit that he paid little attention to his eldest son-in-law, so apart from his personality, he didn't know much about him.

Zhou Shuren looked at his eldest son-in-law. After he had an orgasm, he no longer felt the tension and his life became smoother.

Now I travel everywhere and take things as they come.

Zhou Shuren retracted his gaze, put down the painting in his hand, and picked up the travel notes written by his son-in-law. The son-in-law wrote it very carefully. He not only wrote about the scenery and what he saw and heard, but also wrote about the living conditions of the people passing by, recording everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Next year the government will increase publicity on government affairs. I think it's a good idea to start a publicity campaign on people's sentiments, so that each state can know the lives of people in other states. If it's good, we should vigorously publicize it, thereby stimulating the development of other states."

Jiang Sheng is not stupid, he just doesn't have a broad mind. "Dad, are you saying that my article can be used for publicity?"

Zhou Shuren took out one of Jiang Sheng's articles and said, "This one is very good. You described it very comprehensively, describing the people's affluent lives and their spiritual outlook. The article is very positive and uplifting. Very good."

Jiang Sheng exclaimed, and hurriedly found the painting he had drawn along with the article. "Dad, this is the village I drew."

After reading it, Zhou Shuren praised: "Not bad, we can use them together."

Jiang Sheng never thought that he would be praised by his father-in-law. Who was his father-in-law? He was the Minister of Revenue. He knew himself very well, so he never asked for much attention from his father-in-law. But he also had a desire in his heart, a desire to get his father-in-law's praise.

He never expected that he was already planning to travel around the country and live a leisurely life with his wife in the future, and that he would receive praise from his father-in-law.

Zhou Shuren collected the ones he liked and returned the others to his son-in-law, "These are all good, keep them carefully."

He felt that if his eldest son-in-law could continue to maintain his current mindset, he might really become a master.

Zhou Shuren met his son-in-law's sparkling eyes and said after a moment of silence, "You are very good."

Jiang Sheng was instantly excited and praised twice, and praised directly. He felt that he had no regrets in his death. "Dad, I will work harder in the future and will never let you down."

Zhou Shuren, "!!"

Well, he has ignored his eldest son-in-law for too long, so it's normal for him to be a little excited.

In the afternoon, Zhou Shuren saw his youngest son coming home with a look of deep thought on his face. Zhou Shuren stretched out his eager hands and pinched his son's face with both hands and pulled it.

Changzhong's eyes widened, "It hurts, it hurts, Daddy."

Zhou Shuren, "I didn't hear clearly, what did you say at the end?"

Changzhong responded quickly, "Dad, dear dad."

Zhou Shuren then let go of his hand, "What are you thinking about so intently?"

Changzhong recounted all the places Joey had been today, "Dad, Joey is not the first in line to the throne. He can't inherit much, but he cares about so much. I've heard from my second brother about what the foreign envoys care about, and no one has ever been more attentive than Prince Joey."

Zhou Shuren explained, "This shows that if Prince Joey gets the throne, he will be an outstanding emperor."

Changzhong, "Hmm?"

Zhou Shuren continued, "Under the rule of the Western nobles, the lives of the poor are even more severe. The fact that Prince Joey cares about food shows that he cares about more than just the status that the nobility brings."

Changzhong understood, "He said he would be back after the New Year. Oh, and he also gave his son a lot of gifts. His son thought the pens they used were very convenient."

Zhou Shuren will not stop his son from dating Qiao Yi. He hopes that his son can see the world with his own eyes.

At the Prince of Qin's mansion, the Queen Mother had recovered a lot and looked at her husband depressedly, "I'm really fine now, you don't have to look at me."

The emperor was really scared, and held his wife's hand, "I will let you go when you are completely well."

The Queen Mother was helpless, "I am not fragile glass."

Unfortunately, in the eyes of the retired emperor, the empress dowager was more fragile than glass, and the retired emperor was concerned about the empress dowager's longevity.

The Queen Mother was too bored. She was not allowed to write stories or do anything. She was not allowed to go out to listen to stories. Suddenly, she said, "It's almost the New Year. Shouldn't we go back to the palace?"

The first year after their son succeeded to the throne was a year of reunion and they had to return to the palace.

The Emperor said, "No hurry, we will return to the palace when you are fully recovered."

The Queen Mother didn't want to go back to the palace as she had gotten used to being quiet.

At this time, the female official rushed in and said, "News came from the palace that the fourth prince was frightened."

The Queen Mother liked her legitimate grandson very much. The grandson was very lively. Old people like lively children. "How is the child?"

The female official hurriedly replied, "He has already taken the tranquilizer and gone to sleep. Your Majesty, please take care of him."

The Queen Mother was relieved to know that the child was fine, but her anger was rising. "This is because she thinks that the Queen has two legitimate sons, which is too many."

In an instant, the Queen Mother began to talk about conspiracy. The previous owner of the harem had seen too many tricks.

The retired emperor remained silent. He had anticipated this situation. The identity of the eldest son also doomed him to be dangerous. He was just a little sad about the fate of the royal family from generation to generation. He remembered the nightmare he had, the real nightmare.

The Queen Mother did not hear her husband's reply. She turned around and saw that her husband was silent. She realized something and sighed, "Forget it. I don't care anymore. Let the Queen and the Emperor worry about it."

The next morning at court, Zhou Shuren listened in a daze as the emperor reprimanded Lord Liu, the father of Concubine Liu, for a trivial matter.

Not to mention Zhou Shuren, many ministers were a little dumbfounded.

Zhou Shuren came back to his senses. He knew that the emperor had made up his mind, so did he want to lay the foundation before the New Year?

After the court session, Zhou Shuren and Li Zhao looked at each other. Li Zhao left first, and Zhou Shuren walked together with the Minister of Works.

The Minister of Personnel was left alone by the Emperor.

When the news spread, Zhou Shuren finally understood what had happened, especially that not only had Lord Du been demoted, he was also transferred out of the capital.

This is very intriguing, the emperor's reprimand today, the treatment of the harem and so on.

Although it was found out that Du Zhaoyi was the one who did it, they were not fools and they figured it out immediately.

Obviously, this trick cannot fool the emperor. Although the Liu family was not exposed today, they did not leave much face either.

At the same time, the emperor also used this incident to send a signal to the court.

In the imperial palace, inside the empress's palace, the female official said, "Du Zhaoyi did not go to Concubine Liu's palace."

The Queen nodded. The Liu family had a good idea. They plotted against the legitimate son and made Du the scapegoat. If the plan succeeded, they would leave behind a prince who had no mother and offended the Queen. The Liu family would have this in their hands.

The Queen smiled sarcastically. Liu must not have thought that she would protect Du. She believed that Du would not let Liu go.

The emperor's handling of the matter conveyed his feelings in disguise. The queen recalled the emperor's words and thought about her natal family. Her eyes gradually became firm.
