Chapter 1624: Touching Porcelain
Zhou Shuren looked at the driver with a deep gaze and waved his hand to signal him to get off, and the driver breathed a sigh of relief.
After waiting for a while, Jianyan brought people over, two of whom were awarded by the emperor. This time Zhou Shuren looked at the coachman, and the coachman quickly went to knock on the door.
The gatekeeper of the Yong'an Duke's Mansion shouted, "Who dares to smash the door of the Duke's Mansion?"
As he spoke, he opened the small door on the side of the main gate. The gatekeeper recognized the official uniform and his eyes widened.
The driver said, "Open your eyes and look, this is the Minister of Finance, the Marquis of Zhou conferred by the Emperor."
The doorman's momentum weakened a little. He was a little confused, "Why did you bang on the door, sir?"
Zhou Shuren said coldly, "Let the Duke of Yongan come out."
The doorman swallowed his saliva and went to report without saying a word.
After hearing the report, Duke Yong'an frowned, and thought of Zhou Shuren's return. He knew that Zhou Shuren did it on purpose, and this time he came to knock on the door in broad daylight. Even if the Duke had been hiding for so many years, he was still a man who had fought on the battlefield and won many military exploits. "Good, very good."
The prince tried to appease his father, "Dad, calm down."
The Duke of Yong'an stood up and said, "I want to go meet Marquis Zhou."
Zhou Shuren stood in front of the door with a sullen face. Although there were many dignitaries here and not many common people to watch the excitement, with such a big commotion, officials from the surrounding areas still sent people to inquire about the situation.
The Duke of Yong'an strode out with a startling aura, "Marquis Zhou, you are going too far. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because the Emperor trusts you."
Zhou Shuren also had a cold face, "I am here today to seek justice."
The Duke of Yong'an laughed angrily, "What justice does Lord Zhou want?"
Zhou Shuren, "I don't believe that your Duke's Mansion doesn't know about the rumors. Last time you came to me in person, I made it clear that I would not marry into the Duke's Mansion of Yong'an. Do you think my words are bullshit?"
The Duke of Yong'an's face became more and more gloomy. He knew that Zhou Shuren did not play by the rules, but it was still beyond his expectations. "What does the rumor have to do with my Duke of Yong'an's Mansion? Can the Duke's Mansion stop the rumor?"
Zhou Shuren laughed angrily, "If you admit it generously, I will respect you as a man. Bah, you should clarify the rumor! You let the rumor spread without clarifying it. Do you think that if you spread it too much, you can brainwash yourself and get married? I tell you, it's impossible. Don't think about my granddaughter. I don't care if your grandson wins the first place in the imperial examination."
The Duke of Yongan pointed at Zhou Shuren and said, "You don't look like an official at all."
Like a shrew, this man is actually the Minister of Revenue!
Zhou Shuren sneered, "Don't point at me. You've been a spineless person for so many years, but that doesn't mean I have a good temper. If you point at me again, I won't be polite."
Duke Yong'an was so angry that his blood was about to flow backwards, and his face was flushed. What had he been doing for so many years? Zhou Shuren lifted his face in front of his house, "You're making me angry too."
The emperor and the prince were sitting in the carriage. The emperor was watching with great interest, while the prince was dumbfounded. "Your son discovered it."
The emperor asked, "What did you find?"
The prince chuckled, "Marquis Zhou is considered to be reserved in the court."
The current Zhou Hou was like a scolding woman in the street, which really broadened his horizons.
The emperor was also amused, "Your Majesty must be regretting not coming to watch the show in person."
At this time, Zhou Shuren put away his anger and raised his chin, "What can you do to me? Hit me!"
The Duke of Yong'an got so excited that he rushed over directly. The Crown Prince was so stunned that he didn't even grab his own father's clothes. He just watched his father rush over.
Zhou Shuren was prepared but still got startled when he really rushed over. Zhenyan stepped forward to block him, and several other guards also took a few steps forward.
The Duke of Yong'an was stopped and his mind became clearer, but he was still angry and started fighting with Jianyan and others.
Zhou Shuren stepped aside, stroking his beard. He had to admit that the Duke was still quite skilled even though he was old.
The Duke of Yong'an knew he was no match for his opponent, so he quickly withdrew his hand. His arm was aching. He looked at Zhou Shuren again, who looked as if he was regretting not to fight anymore. A mouthful of blood choked his throat, "You."
Zhou Shuren caught a glimpse of the Emperor and the Crown Prince getting off the carriage, then he rolled his eyes and fainted.
The driver, who was standing nearby, quickly caught it and said, "Sir, Shangshu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, the driver is not bad.
The emperor came over in a hurry, frowned and looked at the Duke of Yong'an, then said to the guards, "Call the imperial physician."
The prince was speechless. He didn't believe that his father couldn't see that Marquis Zhou was pretending to be unconscious. He was even more shocked that Marquis Zhou was committing fraud!
The Duke of Yong'an's hands were shaking, not because of fear, but because of anger. He should have fainted, but Zhou Shuren caused a scene and now it was his fault!
The prince's scalp also tensed up. The emperor's previous glance clearly showed his dissatisfaction with the Duke's Mansion. For some reason, he felt a little frightened.
Jianyan has already picked up his own marquis, and Zhou Shuren's heart is also very complicated. He is being carried like a princess by a man!
The Duke of Yong'an took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, please come into the palace."
The emperor looked at the Duke coldly, "I just listened to a few words. Marquis Zhou is not an unreasonable person. An He is the county lord appointed by me. I don't want to hear any more rumors about An He and the Duke's Mansion."
Duke Yong'an thought it was all over. The emperor's words put an end to all his plans. No matter what, his grandson would never marry Anhe in the future, unless County Lady Anhe insisted on marrying his grandson. Was it possible?
When the Duke thought that County Lord Anhe never left the house, had no idea of her likes and dislikes, and was cold to her grandson, he knew there was no hope.
The prince waited for the emperor to take Marquis Zhou away, and hurriedly supported his father, "Dad, are you okay?"
The Duke was a little sad. Today, all the people in the Duke's Mansion were lost. He felt very sad when he thought that the Emperor's trust and protection for Marquis Zhou could not be used by the Duke's Mansion.
Zhou Shuren arrived in the emperor's carriage, and the emperor said, "Stop pretending."
Zhou Shuren opened his eyes and laughed dryly, "Your Majesty."
The emperor snorted, "I just realized that Marquis Zhou is so skilled at scamming people."
Zhou Shuren defended himself, "I was really so angry that I felt dizzy and confused."
The emperor didn't believe Zhou Shuren's lies. "Okay, you have achieved your goal today. If you want to get something for free, just be good."
Zhou Shuren touched his nose and said, "I am really angry. My daughter's reputation is so important. I have rejected the Yong'an Duke's Mansion but they still won't give up. I can only make a scene."
The Emperor continued, "The whole capital knows about this incident, and the Duke's Mansion doesn't dare to plot against him anymore."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, if you didn't act like you were going to make important use of the Duke's Mansion, he would be afraid that if he made trouble in the future, the Emperor would persuade him, so it would be better to make trouble as soon as possible.
Your Majesty, "Are you relieved today?"
Zhou Shuren, "Well, I'm not angry anymore."
The emperor turned the beads and said, "I will send you back to the Ministry of Revenue."
Zhou Shuren groaned, "I'm still a little dizzy, I want to go back and rest."
Prince, "......"
It's so fake.
The emperor smiled and said, "My dear minister, I didn't hear you clearly just now."
Zhou Shuren, "...I say I am much better now, I don't need to call the imperial physician anymore."
Prince, "......"
