817, Mr. Lu has a thick skin
"Your Majesty?" The Emperor was surprised, "No matter what imperial decree or oral order the Emperor issues, there are official historian records in the palace and announcements on the city wall outside the palace. Why haven't I heard that the Emperor allows fees for entering the city?"
"You old man talks a lot of nonsense. Although there is no imperial decree, the entry fee is requested by His Highness the Crown Prince. Naturally, His Highness the Crown Prince represents the Emperor." While talking, the officers and soldiers bowed in the direction of the palace to show respect.
The emperor suddenly remembered what Gu Qianxue said - don't listen to what others say, you have to see and think for yourself.
These words don't sound good, but they seem to be... the truth.
If someone told him what happened here and now instead of seeing it with his own eyes, he might not believe it.
The emperor's face turned black and then pale. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, turned around and said to Gu Qianxue who was on the horse, "Girl Qianxue, how about lending me a hundred taels of silver? When you go back, I will repay you a hundred times."
The self-proclaimed "Zhen" is not used, but "I" is not used either.
Taking advantage of Lu Weilou's inattention, Gu Qianxue struggled and jumped off the horse, took out a hundred taels of silver note from her bosom, "Here." Handed it over.
In recent days, Lu Weilou, who has been making progress frequently in recent days, raised his eyebrows. Seeing the beauty break free and jump off the horse, he had no interest in riding the horse himself. He straddled his long legs and got off the horse, standing behind Gu Qianxue.
The two were so close that he could smell the fragrance of her hair.
Gu Qianxue turned her head and glared angrily.
Lu Weilou wore a mask and remained unmoved. In other words, his Erpilian was thicker than the city wall. Wherever Gu Qianxue went, he would follow him. The two always kept an ambiguous distance.
The emperor handed over one hundred taels of silver to the officers and soldiers.
The officer and soldier was taken aback, and his attitude immediately improved, "Oh, old man, I'm sorry just now... the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple, and the little one apologized to the old man. The old man has a lot, please forgive me, a junior .” All of a sudden, his figure became much shorter.
Just when the officers and soldiers were about to reach out for the money, the emperor accepted it and snatched the banknote back.
"Wait a minute, you answer the old man's question carefully. After answering, don't talk about the one hundred taels, the reward is as much as the silver."
There is still a long line behind them, and some people can't wait any longer, and they poke their heads frequently, "Hey, those in front, hurry up, we have to enter the city."
Some officers and soldiers yelled, "What's the hurry, rushing to reincarnate?"
The emperor stretched out his hand and pointed to the city gate, "Let's go there and talk, it's the same sentence, answer it, and the reward will be doubled."
Not to mention this soldier ruffian, two more soldier ruffians came and nodded and bowed, as if they were serving their ancestors, "This way please, old man, there are tables and chairs here, the journey is too hard in this hot day, old man drink some tea." Very attentive.
With a sullen face, the emperor passed by, not wanting to delay other people from entering the city.
At the corner of the city wall, there are tables and chairs, which are prepared for the officials defending the city. Occasionally, soldiers after changing the guard can also rest and drink tea here.
"Old man, sit down." For a while, the attentive soldier was like a waiter in a shop.
The emperor sat down, but thought of something again, turned around, "Girl Qianxue, you come here too."
"Yes." Gu Qianxue walked a few steps quickly, came to the emperor, and sat on a bench beside her.
She did this to get rid of Lu Weilou.
Unexpectedly, someone with a skinny face actually handed over the reins to the subordinate behind him, and also came to Gu Qianxue's side, and sat down next to Gu Qianxue.
The soldier was curious, "Old man, what are these?" He asked about the identities of Gu Qianxue and the others.
To cover her face, although Gu Qianxue didn't wear a veil, she wore a face scarf, which was hung on one ear and one on the other, covering her mouth and nose, leaving only a pair of lively eyes outside.
Beautiful, extremely beautiful.
A group of soldiers are a little crazy.
They seldom see this kind of wealthy daughter, whose temperament is slightly different from that of a market girl.
Just when the emperor was about to speak, Lu Weilou said coldly, "Daughter and son-in-law."
Gu Qianxue looked at Lu Weilou in surprise, and lowered her voice, "Lord Lu, have you taken the wrong medicine these two days? You were not like this before."
Lu Weilou glanced at her with a smile in his dark eyes, and also lowered his voice, "I've found that you're all right these days, can't you?"
"..." Gu Qianxue wanted to refute, but this was not the time to flirt, she just gave him a glare, and then focused her attention on the emperor.
But I have to say that such an explanation is very appropriate.
The emperor is a pedantic and rigid scholar, with his daughter and son-in-law, and the killers from the blood moon building around him are the accompanying servants.
It cleverly explained the identities of everyone.
These soldiers really don't want to be moral because of money, just now they were arrogant, but when they saw the money, they were making tea and getting refreshments, they were very busy.
"Don't be too busy, I just have a question for you." The emperor waved his hand.
The honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is not a name for nothing, and his gestures carry a majesty that is hard to ignore.
Several soldiers gathered around, and the one who made things difficult for the emperor first stood beside the emperor, eagerly waiting for the prize quiz.
The emperor asked, "Old man, let me ask you, is it true that the order to charge for entering the city was issued by the crown prince?"
"Yeah, really!" Bingpi replied, "If the higher-ups didn't explain it, we wouldn't dare even if we had the heart of a bear."
The emperor's heart sank, "Where are you officers and soldiers from, were you originally in Guandong City, or were you transferred from another city?"
"We were all transferred from Ruiyang City." Someone beside him rushed to answer.
Ruiyang City is not far from Guandong City, it is a small city.
"Could it be that the troops in Guandong City are not strong enough? Why use the soldiers from Ruiyang City instead of those from Guandong City?" the emperor asked.
On this question, a few soldiers said a bunch of irrelevant things, but they were not convincing.
A commoner beside him couldn't help interjecting, "This master is from another place, right? Our soldiers in Guandong City are deeply influenced by Marshal Zhao. How could they do these things to oppress the people and act like a dominance?"
The soldier ruffian immediately became unhappy, "Go, go, what are you doing?"
The common people dare not fight with the officials. They mustered up the courage to say one sentence, but they didn't have the courage to say the second sentence. Before the soldiers drove them away, they ran away by themselves.
The emperor looked thoughtfully at Gu Qianxue.
Gu Qianxue didn't respond at all, she simply lowered her head.
At this time, she stayed out of the matter, Guandong City belonged to the emperor and not to her Gu Qianxue, if the emperor wanted to save it, she would save it for the sake of grandpa, if the emperor didn't want to save it, then she would be fine.
"What's going on with these buildings?" The emperor pointed to the main hall that was about to be shut down.
The soldier said, "Oh, these are the churches of the Yilan Sect. His Royal Highness is so gracious and generous. When the price of goods in the Kanto City is soaring and the people are in dire straits, the Yilan Sect is allowed to enter the city to save the common people. It is also thanks to the great Yilan Sect, the great God, the people of Guandong City have been redeemed, and also received free food and clothing, these are all the grace of the prince."
