Hold His Hand - Chapter 178
Xie Chengze was in a particularly good mood.
After he was sure that Lu Yanzhou liked him, everything he saw was pleasing to the eye, and even those former officials who were secretly scolding him, he looked at them with clear eyes.
But also because of this, he didn’t want to put up with those who ruined his good mood – Lu Yanzhou’s subordinates who show his face and look at him are not eyes, nose is not nose, get out!
If they are not satisfied… Oh, they have the ability to go to Lu Yanzhou to cry! If Lu Yanzhou listened to them, he would take their surname!
With swollen eyes, Xie Chengze handled government affairs happily, and arranged for his cousin’s husband to go to Jiangnan, where Lu Yanzhou made his fortune, to be responsible for education.
He has investigated his cousin’s husband, and this person is weak, but he is not a bad person, and he is good at learning. It is the most suitable for him to do this.
Although it was confirmed that his cousin had nothing to do with Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze still didn’t want to see them.
Xie Chengze, who is in a happy mood, is very efficient in his work, and he has dealt with all the things to be dealt with in one morning.
As for the afternoon… In the afternoon, he planned to go outside the city to see Lu Yanzhou.
Xie Chengze went to the imperial dining room after dealing with the affairs of the state – to see Lu Yanzhou, he must bring something delicious to Lu Yanzhou.
The milk tea Lu Yanzhou made for him yesterday was pretty good.
Xie Chengze is very happy, but others don’t think so.
Immediately after the court, those former court officials exchanged glances with each other, then gathered together in a few groups, and went to the open space where there was no one to chat carefully.
“I heard that the one quarreled with the emperor!”
“I heard he was crying!”
“Looking at what he looks like today, it should be true!”
“They were arguing a lot, and that one has never cried before.”
“It must be that the emperor is dissatisfied with him and wants to clean up him!”
“He even sent the emperor’s person, he doesn’t want to live!”
“Are they going to tear their faces?”
“The emperor will definitely kill him!”
“The good thing we’ve been waiting for is finally here!”
…
After these people chatted, they were in a good mood and could not wait to laugh.
Well, I just can’t wait, they don’t even dare to laugh at this moment, they can only hold back the smile, and the corners of their mouths twitch.
On the other hand, Xie Chengze’s subordinates were worried: “Is your lord okay?”
“Did he have a conflict with the emperor?”
“Although the capital is under the control of the prince, there is an army of 100,000 emperors outside the city…”
…
When Lu Yanzhou first entered the capital, Xie Chengze’s subordinates all lived with their tails between their tails, but after Lu Yanzhou didn’t come to the court, Xie Chengze was named the regent and took the sole power, and they were a little flirtatious.
Today, Xie Chengze’s state made them startled. They tucked their tails one by one and decided to be careful in the future.
As for Lu Yanzhou’s subordinates… Most of Lu Yanzhou’s subordinates have a good impression of Xie Chengze.
Those who like to cause trouble were arranged by Xie Chengze to be officials in remote places. Others think it is normal – those who have not been beaten or killed are not even considered to be demoted. Is this okay?
But those people were not happy.
Lu Yanzhou had few officials, and they had been entrusted with important tasks before, and when the new dynasty was established… they actually fantasized that they could be prime ministers.
However, Lu Yanzhou did not give them this chance at all!
Their official positions are not low, but they are not high, and they have to obey a eunuch!
They were dissatisfied, and felt that Lu Yanzhou should hate Xie Chengze in his heart, so he would fight against Xie Chengze.
Then… they were arranged to go to a place far away from the capital by a will?
Of course they were not convinced, and as soon as they left the palace, they went straight out of the city to find Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou has already sent people to find crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn that are easy to grow and have high yields – none of these big swallows!
In addition, he also planted existing crops such as rice and wheat in the vicinity of the capital using scientific methods, prepared to select good seeds, tried to increase the yield of these crops, and promoted planting methods.
When he was free, he brought people to write elementary school textbooks, and even Lu Yanzhou planned to promote simplified characters when the world stabilized and the local powers were dispersed.
Traditional Chinese characters are too complicated, and most children cannot learn such complicated characters when they are given to children of farmers who have never received an education before.
In fact, even if it is changed to simplified characters, the willingness of those children to learn is definitely not as good as that of children born in aristocratic families, but at least everyone can read.
When Lu Yanzhou’s men came to look for him, Lu Yanzhou was studying the digester.
Those officials came here and saw Lu Yanzhou holding his trouser legs, and his whole body was not well.
They know that their emperor ignores the government and runs to the suburbs of Beijing every day.
They always thought that the emperor was training soldiers outside the city, but…he was farming? Even tossing these filthy things?
“What are you doing?” Lu Yanzhou asked.
The expressions of these people changed and they began to cry, saying that Xie Chengze didn’t take Lu Yanzhou seriously and didn’t take them seriously.
Lu Yanzhou: “Don’t talk nonsense, why doesn’t Aze take me seriously?”
Xie Chengze attaches so much importance to him, he keeps digging into his arms at night, and this morning he was coquettish and wanted to kiss him. Can this make him not take him seriously?
Those officials: “…”
Lu Yanzhou frowned and said, “Let’s talk about it, what happened?”
These people actually spoke ill of Xie Chengze, and Lu Yanzhou didn’t have a good impression of them now.
These officials can only honestly tell the truth.
Lu Yanzhou heard them talk about their official positions, and knew that Xie Chengze was really targeting them, but: “This is not good? You can go out and experience it.”
“emperor!”
Lu Yanzhou sneered: “Prince Regent has always been rewarded and punished. He arranged such an official position for you. It is definitely what you did… Do you want to talk about it?”
Lu Yanzhou has always had no airs when getting along with his subordinates.
But his subordinates knew that he was not to be messed with.
Seeing Lu Yanzhou’s cold face, these officials immediately knelt down.
At this time, Xie Chengze came: “What’s wrong?”
When Lu Yanzhou saw Xie Chengze, his face immediately turned cloudy: “Nothing… What are you doing here, Aze? It smells bad here!”
“You can come, why can’t I come?” Xie Chengze glared at Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou laughed: “Of course you can come, but I can’t bear you to come!”
Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze to be taken to a clean place to rest, and then said, “I’ll change clothes, and I’ll come to you after I’m done.”
Xie Chengze responded with a smile, and left with the person arranged by Lu Yanzhou.
After Xie Chengze left, Lu Yanzhou looked at his subordinates: “You all stay safe! If you mess with me, I won’t necessarily pursue it. If I mess with him… I will pursue it together with him!”
The official who came to complain: “…”
After Lu Yanzhou changed his clothes, he went to find Xie Chengze.
A lot of crops are planted on this village, and the person responsible for the cultivation is Sun Chongshao’s soldier who surrendered to Lu Yanzhou before.
These people were farmers before they became soldiers. They were all passionate about farming, and they took the words of the emperor Lu Yanzhou as an imperial decree… well, it was indeed an imperial decree.
In short, they paid special attention to the crops, and the crops naturally grew well.
“Are there a lot of people farming in this village?” Xie Chengze asked Lu Yanzhou when he saw a group of people surrounded some fields.
Lu Yanzhou said: “There are a lot of people now, but after a year, they will leave.”
Lu Yanzhou was actually teaching these people to farm, and when they learned, he would give them some seeds and send them back to their hometowns.
They have seen the emperor and learned to farm with the emperor. After returning to their hometown, they will definitely attract countless people’s attention, and people will be willing to follow them and learn the emperor’s method of farming.
In the ancient times when news transmission was more troublesome, he could only change the lives of ordinary people a little bit like this.
After listening to Lu Yanzhou’s words, Xie Chengze said, “Your Majesty is really sympathetic to the people.”
Xie Chengze felt that Lu Yanzhou must have come from heaven, a Bodhisattva who saves suffering!
“I didn’t do anything,” Lu Yanzhou said.
“Do you want to be the emperor of the world to make the people live a good life?” Xie Chengze asked again.
He used to think that Lu Yanzhou was very ambitious, but what kind of ambitious person would farm the land all day long after he became emperor?
Lu Yanzhou has absolutely no ambitions!
In his heart, instead, he holds the world.
Lu Yanzhou said: “No, I am afraid that you will be liquidated.”
Xie Chengze was stunned.
Lu Yanzhou laughed: “If I’m not the emperor, what will you do?”
If Xie Chengze was not the first **** of Dayan, he would actually open an academy to promote planting techniques and teach a careerist like Sun Chongshao.
But Xie Chengze’s identity at that time was too sensitive…
Throughout the ages, some officials of power had good endings, but most of the eunuchs in power did not.
What’s more, Xie Chengze was still thinking about revenge.
Xie Chengze hugged Lu Yanzhou, tears fell again.
Lu Yanzhou couldn’t help but say: “Aze, don’t cry, if you cry like this, everyone thinks I bullied you!”
Xie Chengze manages everything in the palace, and all the maids and eunuchs in the palace belong to Xie Chengze.
Lu Yanzhou felt that the way everyone looked at him in the past few days was not quite right.
Xie Chengze said: “I just want to cry, what can you do with me?”
Lu Yanzhou was helpless, he held up Xie Chengze’s face and gently kissed the tears from the corner of Xie Chengze’s eyes.
The two stayed under a pavilion, and the officials who came to complain left with their heads down at the moment, just to see this scene from a distance.
Their Majesty hugged Xie Chengze dearly.
Why did they feel that His Majesty was flattering Xie Chengze before?
