Chapter 1501: A Ruthless Man with Few Talk

Zhou Shuren stood up straight, "Master Wen's eldest grandson is very capable, tenacious, and diligent. In my opinion, Master Wen's eldest grandson is very suitable. As for the fourth son of Wen, he is the top scholar, so there is no need to say more about his ability."

The other ministers in the hall only felt that Zhou Shuren's words were sarcastic. There was indeed no need to say much about the Fourth Master Wen, but the eldest grandson of Old Master Wen was very mediocre, and his current official position was also a quiet one.

The only thing that stands out is his family background. As for his perseverance, that’s just a joke.

The emperor was at a loss for words. Old Master Wen's face flushed and his voice was gloomy. "Everyone in the capital knows that Marquis Zhou can teach children, so why doesn't he recommend his own grandson?"

Zhou Shuren had a look on his face that said, "Those are just rumors. If I am really that good, why didn't I train a top scholar?"

Elder Wen's face turned black. "Your family has three runner-ups."

Zhou Shuren, "That's not the top scholar either."

Old Master Wen knew that Zhou Shuren was a vengeful person. The old fox guessed that it was his work, but he did not expect that Zhou Shuren would target his grandson right away. Both of them were grandsons of the eldest son. One was the eldest grandson, even if he was mediocre, he was still the eldest grandson, and the other was his continuation.

Elder Wen gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Rong and the other two are still young, and are not qualified for such an important mission."

This was not an easy job, it was thankless and he had to suffer in a remote area. He was also afraid that once he left the capital, who knew what Zhou Shuren would do. He suddenly felt sorry for attacking the child first. Now it was impossible for him to stop and return to the way he was before.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Don't be modest, sir. The number one scholar is definitely capable. Although your eldest grandson is just an extra, don't worry. As long as the number one scholar is here, he will definitely be able to do a good job."

emperor,"......"

Ministers, "......"

I just praised the Wen family's grandson for his good character!

Elder Wen raised his hand. "You."

Zhou Shuren's eyes were cold. He thought, "Don't hit the child. It's better for everyone if they can restrain each other. But you should never hit the child."

"Master Wen, you are very excited. The whole country is short of food. Last year, Master Wen took the lead in donating food, and I admired you very much. I think you don't want to see the people starve to death. Reclaiming wasteland and planting crops is a major event that benefits the people. You don't have to be humble. Your grandson will definitely be able to do it."

Lord Qi and the others looked at each other and thought Zhou Shuren was a lunatic. Lord Qi took a deep breath. The Qi and Wen families were relatives and had been one for a long time. He stood up and said, "Lord Zhou is wrong. It is better to find someone who knows farming to be responsible for reclaiming wasteland and farming, so as to avoid not getting any harvest. Wouldn't that mean a year has been wasted."

Zhou Shuren looked up at Lord Qi and said, "Lord Qi is right. I remember that Lord Qi's youngest son has raised a lot of flowers and plants, which shows that he is knowledgeable. I recommend Lord Qi's youngest son to assist me."

Lord Qi was stunned for a moment. What did his son's love of flowers and plants have to do with growing crops?

Zhou Shuren glanced at the other people with the intention of biting anyone who dared to speak. If he didn't show his power, his grandson would be in danger in the future.

The emperor was fiddling with the beads. The Wen family angered Zhou Shuren. Among the branches of the Wen family, the second branch was gradually abandoned, and now only the first branch has a future.

The emperor touched the folder and the prisoners were reclaiming wasteland and planting crops. Zhou Shuren came up with methods and suggestions and glanced at Lord Wen. He hoped that the two families would restrain each other instead of fighting to the death. Zhou Shuren had something in mind that would benefit the country and the people.

Zhou Shuren's actions today also made him realize that when Zhou Shuren gets crazy, he dares to think of anything.

Lord Qi wanted to speak again. He loved his youngest son the most because he looked like him.

The emperor spoke first, "The mission of opening up wasteland is indeed a training for Wen He, and he should do something in recent years. It is settled then. Wen He will be in charge of opening up wasteland, and Qi Li will assist him."

Master Wen, "Your Majesty."

"Okay, that's settled."

Zhou Shuren looked on indifferently. The royal family was the most profit-oriented. He took out something that was enough to impress the emperor, and the emperor sided with him, but he also knew his limits and only gave up Wen He. As for the Qi family, the emperor had long wanted to deal with the Qi family. The Qi family followed the lead of the Wen family in everything and forgot that they should be loyal to the emperor.

The other officials watched a big show. They had some thoughts about Marquis Zhou in the beginning, but they were frightened this time. A normal person would have taken revenge secretly, but Marquis Zhou did not take the common approach of confronting head-on. You understand my grandson, and I understand your most important grandson. He is simply crazy.

Old Master Wen was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He met Zhou Shuren's cold eyes and his pupils shrank. He finally realized that Zhou Shuren had always made trouble for the Wen family in the past. Even when the Wen family had made things difficult for Zhou Shuren's sons, Zhou Shuren remained calm. Now Zhou Shuren showed his teeth.

There were other political affairs to discuss, but everyone had their own thoughts. In the end, Zhou Shuren stayed behind because the emperor wanted to discuss the memorial.

At Zhou's house, Zhulan asked Rong Enqing, "When did you go to the orphanage?"

Rong Enqing, "We went to the orphanage the day before yesterday. Yao Yao was there to worship Buddha. We stopped by to take a look."

"So you think this is great, and you want to teach kids?"

Rong Enqing had passed the imperial examinations and could be considered half a student of Shu Ren, so he had both knowledge and vision.

Rong Enqing nodded, "Yes, I have nothing to do all day, so I want to teach the children."

"Why don't you go to the Royal Orphanage? You can learn there too."

Rong Enqing smiled and said, "The Royal Orphanage is not short of people."

Everyone can see that the Royal Orphanage belongs to the royal family. There are too many people going there to teach for free, and he doesn't want to blend in.

Zhulan, "I welcome you to teach at a private orphanage."

Rong Enqing was delighted. He was now a rich and leisurely man, and he had gotten used to it over time. But when he saw the children studying, his silent heart began to beat again.

Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi ignored Lord Liu and continued to read and study. Lord Liu himself said he was tired. "I don't believe you don't have any ideas. Why are you pretending with me?"

Chang Yi put down the book in his hand and said, "My father said he would take care of it."

As a son, he knew best whether the old man was angry or not, and he was waiting for his father to take action.

Lord Liu, "No wonder you are so calm. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have given you any blind advice."

Chang Yi pointed to his head and said, "I have more ideas here than you do."

After his father heard his revenge plan, he had an indescribable expression on his face. He didn't want to recall it. His father said it was too low-level and would not cause any substantial harm. It would also lower his standards and make people look down on him, and would not serve as any warning.

At this time, Changyi's servant came in and told the news that had spread in the capital.

Chang Yi, "My dad is still the best."

Master Liu, "......"

What a ruthless guy, every strike is fatal, wow!

Chang Yi was delighted, "So, my father is always ruthless."

Lord Liu nodded solemnly, "Marquis Zhou cannot be provoked."
