The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 43
Although Xiao Chengjun did not go to the court, the news of the court could not be cut off. He was not in the house for a day, and many letters had been sent waiting for him to read.
“Lord, Shi Ziye went to Shen Lian’s Mansion.” Someone came to the study to report in a whisper.
“Let him go.” Xiao Chengjun’s hand holding the pen paused and then continued, without raising his head from beginning to end.
The person who came to report the news retired wittily, and he had to worry about the extent to which the whereabouts of Anguo Gongshi had to be reported.
Not long after, Lou Jing ran back by himself, named Helping, and leaned to the desk in a mess.
“Don’t make a fuss,” Xiao Chengjun patted the guy who slapped him, “Don’t you have to deal with family affairs tomorrow? Are you still living here tonight?”
“I just did a terrific thing, and I must be rewarded by His Highness before I can go back.” Lou Jing said with a smile.
Xiao Chengjun looked at him and smiled slightly, “It depends on whether it is worth the reward.”
In order to win the husband’s reward, Lou Jing triumphantly explained what he had done tonight.
“Hahaha, you are really…” Xiao Chengjun couldn’t help laughing out loud and instigated Shen Lian to stop the conscription. He could not figure it out.
“Report to the prince, Shen Lian has gone to the palace.” As he said, the person who spread the news hurriedly came in to report.
The two looked at each other and couldn’t help but smirk, thinking of Shen Lian’s loyal and patriotic appearance, the expression on Emperor Chunde’s face must be very wonderful.
Waved his hand to let the report go on, Lou Jing bit the ear of the person in his arms and whispered, “Is it worth the reward?”
“It’s worth it,” Xiao Chengjun asked pretendingly, without putting down the pen in his hand, “what reward do you want?”
Lou Jing put his hand into the moon-white prince’s uniform, rubbing a small bean with his fingertips across the clothes, “The minister wants your Royal Highness…”
“Okay,” Xiao Chengjun grabbed the hand from his clothes and wrote the word “jun” in the palm of his hand, “It’s for you.”
The cool tip of the pen was scratched in the palm of his hand, itchy, Lou Jing raised his hand to look at the words in his hand, picking up the pen domineering, closing the pen introverted, calm and square, hiding the dragon, he is the body of the emperor! So he chuckles and said: “Your Highness writes the name on the body like this, does it mean to be one with the minister?”
“I…” Xiao Chengjun heard this and immediately didn’t know how to answer the conversation.
“His Royal Highness rewards.” Lou Jing picked up the person sideways and decided to enjoy his reward.
“Hmm…let me down.” Xiao Chengjun was startled, and immediately struggled to get down. With such a posture, if someone looked at it, what would happen?
Lou Jing obediently placed the person on the collapse of the study, followed by pressing it up, looking for the lips that were about to berate him, and kissed it.
“Lord, the younger one will bring tea.” Anshun said outside the door with the tea, and ran over from Lou Jing every night. Whenever two people are alone, they must pass through before entering.
“Hmm…” Xiao Chengjun shuddered and caught Lou Jing’s hands on him, his open chest heaving hurriedly, “Stop it.”
Lou Jing showed a smirk of unknown meaning, letting his hands be held, leaning over to hold a pink particle, grabbing it and slowly pulling it upwards.
“Um…” Xiao Chengjun couldn’t help groaning.
Anshun’s half of his foot that had already stepped into the threshold retracted again, raised his hand to cover the door, and naturally stood outside the door to guard.
“No one will see it now,” Lou Jing smiled and moved upwards, rubbing against His Royal Highness, “The minister can receive the reward.”
Xiao Chengjun glared at him angrily, but his dark eyes were tainted with **** because of the previous tricks. This glaring was half annoyed and half annoying, and Lou Jing’s abdomen was tight, and the King of Min was backhanded. His Royal Highness’s hands pressed to the top of his head.
The moment he entered, it was inevitable that there would still be pain. Xiao Chengjun was afraid that Anshun outside the door would hear it, so he had to bit his lower lip. Lou Jing stopped this movement in time, held his lips, swallowed the painful grunt, and kissed his eyes softly. After he got used to it, he held his shoulders and moved with confidence.
Anshun stood outside the door, stopping Lexian from going in to deliver snacks, and took him to guard the door together.
There was no sound in the room, only a few depressive pantings occasionally overflowed. I couldn’t hear whose voice it was, but it was enough to make the two little eunuchs flushed and moved a step outside.
Le Xian looked up at the sky, ah, the moonlight tonight is really good.
Seeing that he was looking seriously, Anshun also looked up, the dark clouds covered it, and even a star could not be seen…
The next day, early morning.
The minister on the right, Chen Shichang, once again mentioned the construction of the river channel and presented the articles of association drawn up by the Ministry of Industry.
Emperor Chunde took the charter and looked at it carelessly.
“Exactly,” Chen Shichang, the right-hand man, responded with a bow, “Father-in-law Shen is extremely capable and thoughtful, and is the most suitable for this matter.”
“Shen Lian can indeed take on this task, of course…” Emperor Chunde put together the regulations and threw it on the royal case.
“Since ancient times, military service has been the same as military service. It is the responsibility of the common people. Nowadays, in a peaceful and prosperous age, there is not much military service. Li people must be loyal to the emperor and serve the country by themselves.” Said.
Shen Lian glanced at the polite Chen Shichang, and secretly scolded the old thief for saying good things. Why didn’t he do such a good job by himself? Obviously to push him into the fire pit!
“The emperor, the minister thought that corroboration is not allowed!” Shen Lian suddenly left the queue, his voice gloomy.
Chen Shichang was taken aback for a moment, then stiffly turned his head to look at Shen Lian who suddenly turned against the water.
Shen Lian did not pay attention to the ghostly expression of Youxiang, and he knelt down and said: “The minister was born in poverty, and he knows most about the suffering of military labor. Qingzhou has just suffered floods, and the people are already pitiful enough. If you do this, I am afraid It was criticized by the people.”
The left minister Zhao Duan looked at Father Shen, who was “singing for the people”, and couldn’t help but look outside the main hall door, wondering if the sun came out from the west today.
It is not to blame for Lord Zuo to think so. In fact, the ministers in the whole hall looked at each other with an expression of “Am I dreaming”.
Zhao Duan was the first to react and stepped forward and stood next to Shen Lian. “The officials thought that what Shen Gonggong said was extremely true. Since ancient times, the damage of the corvee is comparable to the flood of locust plagues. Qingzhou has a large population. Once the mutiny occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.”
“The emperor, the tax bank will be able to arrive in Beijing next month. There will be no corroboration, but it will cost more money to keep the world peaceful. That’s the best policy.” Hubu Shangshu said.
“Employing labor can only cost 200,000 taels of silver. Now that the treasury is full and the times are peaceful, the number of districts is really not a big deal,” Shen Lian lowered his head when he heard the words, pressing down the corners of his mouth that couldn’t help but then echoed, “The emperor is the ruler of the world. Will not do anything to use refugees as slaves.”
At the last sentence, the right-hand Chen Shichang’s face was completely darkened. The refugees were serving as slaves. Although this was done, we can’t say that. The Ministry of Industry has always mentioned the use of slavery to resettle refugees. Once this is reversed, From benefiting the country and the people, it became a harm to the people.
“In this case, this matter will be supervised by Shen Lian, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households will be in charge, and the corvee will not be mentioned again, and the Qingzhou refugees will be resettled by Shangshu Province.” Emperor Chunde waved his hand and stopped talking to everyone. Opportunity, throw your sleeves back.
Chen Shichang walked to Shen Lian with a dark face, and whispered: “Daddy Shen, what do you mean?”
Shen Lian glanced at him yinly, and said with a smile: “Our family just doesn’t want to be insulted.”
The face on the right has not eased in the slightest, on the contrary, it is getting more and more ugly, “How are you doing?”
“The right-hand man made a joke,” Shen Lian flicked the dust off his sleeves and flicked his vagina. “Our family and the adults are on the same rope. What is the grown-up afraid of?”
Lou Jing woke up contentedly from his dream, and kissed the man in his arms on the cheek.
“Well… what time is it?” Xiao Chengjun asked in a daze without opening his eyes.
“It’s early, don’t have to go to court today, and sleep a little longer.” Lou Jing coaxed softly.
Xiao Chengjun frowned, opened his eyes slowly, and saw a face that smiled too brilliantly. He was a little annoyed when he remembered what happened in the study last night, pushed his head away, and turned to sleep.
“I have to go back to the Guogong Mansion. Today I have agreed to send the Wei family to the Tianzhuang. I have to go back and have a look so that nothing goes wrong.” Lou Jing said, holding His Royal Highness on the shoulder of the King of Min.
“Yeah.” Xiao Chengjun replied, but didn’t say more, thinking about how to discipline the future queen in the future, it is not a good thing to go on like this.
“Chengjun, you don’t bother me,” Lou Jing didn’t intend to let His Royal Highness of Fujian think about it, and put his head in his neck. “As long as I get close to you, I will be happy to help myself. If you don’t want to, I…I won’t force you…” He said, his tone was a little low.
When Xiao Chengjun heard the words, he felt a little sore on the tip of his heart, and sighed lightly. He couldn’t be completely blamed for this. Thinking about it this way, I was a little bit happy. Isn’t Lou Jing’s obsession with him the result of his love for him?
“Can you come back for lunch at noon?” Xiao Chengjun asked.
Lou Jing’s eyes lit up immediately, hiding behind Xiao Chengjun’s head, raising a triumphant smile, and hurriedly replied: “No, I have to invite Uncle Qingyang to drink at noon, and I will come back in the evening.”
Speaking of leaving, Lou Jing stayed on the bed for a long time, and hugged Xiao Chengjun from behind, until His Royal Highness could not bear it, he reluctantly left the warm bed.
First I went to Beiya to order a Mao, and then ate two cages of soup dumplings and a bowl of glutinous rice porridge at the roadside stalls, and then returned to the Anguo government without a hassle.
Wei actually wanted to go to Zhuangzi after spending the New Year in the mansion. After all, she now manages Zhongkui. New Year is a time when there is a lot of business. She thought that as long as she didn’t go out to meet guests, Lou Jing returned home completely. She disrupted her plan, and had to live in that remote suburban county!
