To say that before the Zhou family became the emperor, they were a big family and controlled the world's money. No one would have thought that such a merchant class, the Zhou family, would have a century-old emperor and lead the Zhou family. The clan was officially promoted to the royal family.
I am afraid that only the Zhou family knows how much property the Zhou family has. Within a few days, there will be rumors outside, especially those people who have been taken care of. Songs were sung, and some people even said that the Zhou family predicted the natural disaster two hundred years ago, and prepared food, clothing and medicine in advance. This is a warning from heaven! The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the son of destiny!
The officials and those aristocratic families from all over the place were also confused by this matter, but when they saw the food, medicine and clothes, they also had to sigh, maybe there was some strange person helping the Zhou family, otherwise Why store so much food and medicine in various places, just for this disaster relief
The Zhou written above is the Zhou's business name more than a hundred years ago. Only those who have experienced that era will understand. Now, these aristocratic families see the reappearance of the logo that once belonged to the Zhou's business name, and they feel worried again. , I am glad again.
Now the heavy snow is still falling, but the common people can eat enough and wear warm at least, and repair their homes under the arrangement of the officials, so that they will not die in this ice and snow. The name of the firm.
This firm, which was once looked down upon by all the families and officials, had an emperor two hundred years ago! It was also the emperor who brought the current Jin Dynasty to the present. Many people speculated about how much money the Zhou Company had two hundred years ago. Some said it was a million gold, while others said it could move the world fiscal.
It's just that the rumors disappeared later. I didn't expect that now, two hundred years later, the Zhou's firm would reappear! And still in this way!
Zhou Zekai pretended to be recuperating for a few more days, and after many officials kept sending papers, he finally went to court.
Above the court, everyone saw that Emperor Hui'an was in good spirits and was not as depressed as he was two or three months ago, so they knew that Emperor Hui'an was probably poisoned and framed by someone when he was sick before. Regarding the matter of the prince, Shi Mingzhou, who was in charge of raiding the house at that time, found a secret passage under the third prince's mansion, and confiscated three million taels of silver in it! The money has now been used for disaster relief.
As early as a few days ago, many officials thought that Emperor Hui'an was really in the way of the dragon body as the news from the palace! Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it was Emperor Hui'an's temptation, but luckily everyone didn't act.
So under Zhou Zekai's half-smile, these officials originally wanted to intercede with the third prince, but after they were dragged out by Zhou Zekai and murdered the three officials, no one dared to say anything. It was their first time for such a resolute emperor. See you once.
Standing above the main hall, Mr. Tong didn't know whether he should be lucky or feel sad.
Soon, no one in the court mentioned the third prince, and they began to plan how to deal with the snow disaster. Under the current controllable situation, the people can live a better life, and the heavy snow that has not stopped is also a way for everyone Officials have a headache.
"Three days later, I will go to the astrologer's platform and pray for God to have mercy on me! I believe that the snow will definitely stop by then!"
After Zhou Zekai left these words, he went down to court, but he remembered clearly that three days later, it would be the day when the heavy snow stopped, which would make his name as Emperor Hui'an even more resounding.
After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhou Zekai thought of Shu Huiyun.
"Great joy, how is Aifei now?"
Even if he had already done that kind of thing, Zhou Zekai could still call his concubine concubine lightly, but he had no affection for Shu Huiyun.
"Back to Your Majesty, the servants lined up Xiaojiu Xiaoshi to look at the imperial concubine! Everything is fine!" Wang Daxi already knew that the imperial concubine was so favored by His Majesty, but she did not know what used to deceive His Majesty. Now His Majesty Seeing through the plot of the imperial concubine and empress, the imperial concubine is gone.
"Okay, let someone take care of it. Also, how is the queen?"
Zhou Zekai's empress is the granddaughter of the old master Tong of the third generation, and the only legitimate daughter of the Tong family. Her name is Tong Yuzhen. Already eight years old.
"Return to Your Majesty, the Empress is in good health, and she even ordered the old servant to thank Her Majesty, but the Eldest Prince, I heard that your cold has recovered, and I want to see you."
"Oh? Where is he now? I haven't seen him for a long time, let's go and see."
Zhou Zekai didn't know if he would have other heirs, but besides Zhou Zhan, who was not his child, there were only two children in the palace, the eldest prince Zhou Yu and the little princess Zhou Ying. From Concubine Shi Gui, Zhou Zekai planned to cultivate it well.
"Your Majesty, the First Prince is currently studying in the Imperial College..."
After Wang Daxi finished speaking, Zhou Zekai got up and walked towards the door. Regarding his elder son, Zhou Zekai wanted to find out the situation from his memory, but found that he really knew very little about this child. Guided by Wang Daxi, they came to the place where the prince was studying.
Today's eldest prince, Zhou Yu, already has accompanying students, namely the boy from the Wang family and the boy from the Tong family. The three eight-year-old children sat there and listened to the teacher's lecture seriously. Zhou Zekai who was standing outside the window fell on Zhou Yu. on Yu.
I have to say... Zhou Yu's appearance is really carved out of the same mold as himself, very detailed, especially his current appearance of being small but serious, which makes Zhou Zekai feel a little happy.
When Zhou Yu, who was writing, looked up, what he saw was his father standing by the window, he stopped writing, black ink fell on the rice paper, his eyes were full of surprise, and he looked at Zhou Zekai expectantly.
"Father..."
With this cry, the Taifu Tong Muzheng, who taught the prince, also discovered Zhou Zekai's existence, and quickly knelt down to greet His Majesty, and Zhou Yu's two companions also knelt down quickly.
Zhou Zekai walked around the window and entered the door, seeing Zhou Yu kneeling on the ground paying his respects to himself, he felt that this child was very kind.
"Get up, I'll come over today to have a look. I heard from the Taifu that the emperor has already studied the Four Books? He is indeed very intelligent. How about I test you today?"
Zhou Yu, who got up from the ground, saw that his father was so excited that he nodded immediately. He hadn't seen his father a few times since he was born, and he was not loved by his father like his second brother. His father wanted to test his knowledge, so he was naturally happy to show it in front of his father.
Soon, Zhou Zekai's exams ended satisfactorily. Whether it was the eldest prince Zhou Yu or the two companions, they were all smart children, and what they had learned was very solid, which made Zhou Zekai feel relieved a lot.
"Go out and be naughty, I will have a chat with the Taifu."
After rewarding a bunch of things, Zhou Zekai dismissed his eldest son, and looked at the current Grand Tutor Tong Muzheng in the palace, the most outstanding talent of the Tong family's generation.
The three generations of emperors of the Tong family, and Tong Muzheng's generation, have been unable to break away from this vortex, and have been deeply involved with the royal family. Even if Tong Muzheng wanted to plead for the people, he could only enter the palace unwillingly and become the prince's enlightenment master .
However, in order to protect his younger sister's child, Tong Muzheng naturally worked harder, not wanting to let his nephew fall behind, and his teaching to Zhou Yu has always been very strict.
However, after several years in the palace, Tong Muzheng saw Emperor Hui'an caring about Zhou Yu for the first time, which was a bit strange.
"Teacher, after three days, I will go to the astronomical platform to pray for Da Jin, and then I will bring Yu'er. He is my eldest prince and my son, and he is also the only person in this world who can step on the astronomical platform with me." The only choice."
These words seem to be speaking to Tong Muzheng, and they seem to be stating something simply, but it makes the eyes of Tong Muzheng, who is lowering his head, flash instantly, and then he returns to calm. He doesn't know if this is a hint from the emperor, or is it true? Is it like the palace said, the imperial concubine has lost her power
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to teach the eldest prince."
After thinking about it, Tong Muzheng still said such a sentence cautiously, which made Zhou Zekai laugh, patted Tong Muzheng on the shoulder, and walked out.
After going out, he happened to see his eldest prince having a snowball fight with some young eunuchs. After watching for a while, he led Wang Daxi to the empress' bedroom with a smile on his face.
Empress Tong Yuzhen's bedroom is in the Kunning Palace, which is a certain distance from the Imperial College. The snowflakes in the sky are still swarming. Zhou Zekai walked forward slowly. It's him who fell down.
When they arrived at Kunning Palace, Zhou Zekai was already full of heat. The maid at the door saw the emperor coming, so she hurried to inform the empress, and welcomed Zhou Zekai into the door.
Compared with the deadly earth dragon burned in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Kun Ning Palace has a faint floral fragrance. Looking at the red plums in the vase, Zhou Zekai is very satisfied with this Kun Ning Palace.
The queen also came over in a hurry, she was wearing freshly dressed clothes, and her face was still a little sick.
"My concubine greets His Majesty, Your Majesty Wan An~"
Kneeling down to pay his respects, Zhou Zekai hurriedly helped him up, then looked at Tong Yuzhen in front of him, and said.
"Zitong, you just recovered from a serious illness. You still need to rest more. I just came to see how your condition is. Now that Zitong's complexion has improved, I feel relieved a lot."
The two were talking, and sat on a chair beside them. A court lady came over to serve tea. Zhou Zekai looked at Tong Yuzhen carefully, and after confirming that Tong Yuzhen was indeed recovered, he was in a very good mood.
"Your Majesty, my concubine is getting better now. Thanks to Your Majesty, I have found a divine doctor for my concubine. The divine doctor has excellent medical skills. In just a few days, this concubine will be able to get out of bed..."
