Chapter 1318 Come on, let's stab you with a knife
Poor people are afraid to go to the clinic, so free clinics are a way to promote the clinic and also allow farmers to learn about herbs so that they can use them to pay for medical treatment in the future.
It was a good opportunity to conduct a census, appease the people in the south, and help the new emperor gain popularity among the people across the country, killing two birds with one stone.
Zhou Shuren has already prepared the Ministry of Revenue to approve the silver. Now that the emperor has something to gain from him, the Ministry of Revenue can save the money.
The emperor smiled and said, "I believe that you all care about the people. I am waiting to see how you care about the people."
Zhou Shuren, "......"
Suddenly he realized that he also had to donate money, and no one in the entire court could be spared. Even if he was not the main sheep, he would still lose his wool and feel the pain.
Zhou Shuren made this suggestion implicitly to his son-in-law, as a reward for his loyalty to his daughter.
Zhou Shuren thought of this and glanced at the memorial again. Rongchuan would investigate whoever sent a woman to Rongchuan, and this memorial was created. The effect was great. Although Rongchuan had attracted hatred, he was the King of Qin, and he had the support of the emperor and the retired emperor, so he could only hold back his anger.
In fact, there is something even more damaging. He was stopped. If he really did it, the emperor would not be able to take responsibility. Now it's so good that the emperor did not announce the news. Even if he hated Rongchuan, he could only stare blankly. At the same time, the emperor also took advantage of the news. The one who benefited the most was the emperor.
After the morning court session, Zhou Shuren grabbed Rongchuan and said, "Your father's salary is not much. The annual salary is not enough to cover the expenses of the family, and now you have to donate money."
Rongchuan, "......"
No, Dad, this idea was given to me by you. Don't think it doesn't count as advice just because I didn't explain it clearly. Can the money also be counted on him?
Zhou Shuren didn't let go, and lowered his voice, "I took some of the blame for you. I got stabbed a lot for you in the palace just now."
Rong Chuan touched his nose and said, "Oh, so I am considered quite upright in the eyes of some ministers?"
Zhou Shuren, "Haha, why don't I understand what you mean?"
Rong Chuan waved his hands quickly, "Dad, I didn't forgive you."
Zhou Shuren gritted his teeth, "I think you're getting more and more itchy."
Rong Chuan laughed, untied his purse and stuffed it into his father's hand, "Dad, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Zhou Shuren held the purse in his hand, feeling somewhat satisfied. Under the shocked gazes of Li Zhao and others, Zhou Shuren stuffed the purse into his sleeve, and then walked away as if nothing had happened, as if it was not him who had just asked for money.
Wang Ju came back to her senses and quickly chased after him, "No, you asked the King of Qin for money in the palace?"
Zhou Shuren, "That's strange, why do you want money? Am I short of money? Does my Zhou family have little wealth?"
Wang Ju didn't know the Zhou family's exact financial situation, but she knew they had money. "What happened just now?"
Zhou Shuren snorted, "It's obviously the money my son-in-law gave me as a gift. Alas, there's nothing I can do about having a good son-in-law."
Wang Ju was stunned. If he had not seen it clearly, he would have believed Zhou Shuren's shamelessness.
When the emperor heard the news, he was silent and said to the prince, "Next time you go to find Zhou Shuren, you can start from this aspect."
The prince twirled his fingers, "My son is poor."
Ever since the Wen family stopped sending him money and gifts, he had fewer good things, and he also had to support his younger brother, and cultivate brotherly feelings from an early age, hoping that his younger brother could be like his uncle, the King of Qin.
The emperor said, "You should go to school."
The prince looked at his father in disbelief, "Father, don't you have anything to say to your son?"
As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, like giving some silver?
The emperor sneered, "Turn around, immediately."
He still wants to ask for money from him, thinking about how his father treated him in the past. He is still waiting for the prince to grow up!
As soon as Rongchuan left the palace, he was stopped by the King of Qi. The King of Qi motioned him to get on the carriage. Rongchuan said, "My second brother didn't attend the morning court, but waited for me at the palace gate. I am very touched."
King Qi, "Your methods are despicable enough. Did Minister Zhou teach you this?"
Rongchuan, "......"
He felt that he should give more money to his father-in-law. Even his second brother thought so. His father-in-law really took some blame for him.
The King of Qi knew he had guessed wrong. "You thought that. Do you know that these people will not do anything to you, and will not get close to you in the future?"
Rongchuan understood what his second brother meant, which meant that he had given up power. "Am I not powerful enough now?"
He didn't want to be the emperor himself. He already held great power and he only needed to rely on his elder brother, the emperor.
King Qi, "I'm glad you think so."
Prince Qi was moved in his heart. Although Rongchuan did not grow up in the palace, he knew how to make choices better than them. He was worthy of being the son of his father. He was really his younger brother, and his brain was always there.
Rongchuan didn't think that the King of Qi was looking for him just to chat, "Second brother, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
King Qi exclaimed, "Your nephew has grown up. I would like to ask you to take care of my eldest son Xuchen."
Rong Chuan was surprised, "Second brother is so capable, why did he find me?"
King Qi, "I stay away from politics, but I have to consider my son. You should take care of Xuchen."
Rong Chuan said quietly, "Second brother is really straightforward."
"There is no need for us to beat around the bush as brothers."
Rong Chuan didn't reply directly. He wanted to go back and ask his father and the emperor, "Second brother, wait for my news."
King Qi smiled and said, "Okay."
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day for the announcement of the results. In Pingzhou City, Mingyun was waiting under the list. When the list came out, he saw the top candidate at a glance. Mingyun clenched his fists and then loosened them, listening to the cheers of Jiang Du and the servant beside him.
Jiang Du, "Congratulations, cousin."
Mingyun's tone was also excited, "Yeah."
Jiang Sheng patted Mingyun, "Come on, let's go back. Your aunt is still waiting for news!"
Mingyun looked at the people who gathered around him and said, "Okay, let's go home."
Before the exam, I was afraid that he would not do well and would shirk his responsibility. Now that I have come to you, I am sorry, he has to leave.
In the capital, Ming Teng and Wen Rong sat in a teahouse, watching the results being announced in the distance. Ming Teng said, "If Brother Wen had participated this year, he would have definitely been the top candidate."
Wen Rong's eyes were filled with hidden emotions, "The prince has great confidence in me."
Ming Teng: "Of course."
There was not much genuine relationship between Ming Teng and Wen Rong, it was just that he represented the Rong family and Wen Rong represented the Wen family, which was the Empress's maternal family, so interaction was inevitable.
Wen Yong said: "Brother Mingyun should have seen the results. I am still waiting for Brother Mingyun to win the top three prizes."
Ming Teng has a toothache. Ever since his elder brother went to take the provincial examination, he has heard the same thing many times. Some of them are genuinely concerned, while others are waiting to see a joke. "Brother, as long as you work hard, everything will turn out well. I'm just afraid that sometimes, you don't even have the chance to work hard."
Wen Rong sneered in his heart. Rong Mingteng was becoming more and more sharp-tongued. This was a satire on him being plotted against. Wen Rong wanted to compete with Zhou Mingyun. Unless Zhou Mingyun failed next year, unfortunately, the possibility was too small.
It was difficult for Zhou Mingyun to do something unexpected. His great fame meant a lot of attention, so he didn't dare to make any move. He had no chance of competing with Zhou Mingyun in the imperial examination, so he could only compete in the court.
