The prince's eyes sparkled. "Your Majesty said that the more sound the law is, the more likely it is to be notarized. I would like to add some laws. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
He didn't have that much time to track down the files of the case, but he could guarantee a notarization for the future.
Zhou Shuren affirmed the prince's heart, but "the threat cannot be eliminated."
Sometimes it's ridiculous. The more notarized it is, the more brutal measures will be provoked. At that time, it will not be a threat but a silencing.
The prince was silent. Officials protected each other, and privately they resorted to insidious tactics. However, "We have to change, don't we?"
Don't back down when difficulties are anticipated.
Zhou Shuren's smile deepened, "Go ahead, Prince."
He couldn't intervene but he could help watch. He wanted to see what the prince could do.
The prince received the affirmation and smiled, "Then I will not disturb you from doing your work."
"Prince, please."
The prince left with brisk steps. Zhou Shuren laughed out loud. He did a good job as a guide.
The prince will be the future ruler of the country and will continue to change and lay the foundation for reform for the next emperor, but unfortunately he cannot see it.
The next day, Lord Luo did not attend the morning court as he was blocked at his doorstep and asked for his dowry. Lord Luo was too embarrassed to attend the morning court, but even though he did not show up, the ministers still talked about it.
Officials who had good relations with the Luo family in the past all drew a clear line between themselves and the family, fearing that they would be classified into the same category.
Zhou Shuren felt relieved just watching this. These people were worse than dandies when they took off their fig leaves. No, dandies spend money openly without hiding anything, while these people were hypocritical and righteous.
Two days later, the emperor got first-hand information and left Zhou Shuren alone, "The Luo family wants to sell their collection, are you interested?"
Zhou Shuren's eyes sparkled, "Yes."
The emperor said cheerfully, "I knew you had it. Let's dress up and go together later."
The emperor is also interested. He has been coveting the Luo family's collection for a long time. The Luo family has always kept it secret. This time it's the Luo family's own fault, so he doesn't need to be polite.
Zhou Shuren’s first reaction was to feel his purse. What could he buy with less than a hundred taels
When the emperor saw it, he said, "I will lend you some silver."
Zhou Shuren, "No interest."
The Emperor: "... ... You are not going to default on your debt, are you?"
Zhou Shuren glared, "Where is the trust between the monarch and his subjects?"
The emperor was speechless, "Go change your clothes."
After a while, Zhou Shuren came out after changing his clothes with a disguised face. He looked at himself in the mirror for a long time and found that he really didn't look like himself after the disguise.
The emperor also changed his appearance, and Zhou Shuren fell silent.
The emperor laughed and said, "Let's go."
The Luo family kept their door wide open and did not sell their collection to outsiders. They even left a fig leaf behind, saying that they were inviting people to appreciate the books. Many people in Beijing were envious of the Luo family's collection, so the Luo family was very lively today.
When the emperor arrived, Zhou Shuren looked up at the guests who came in one after another.
The emperor lowered his voice and said, "Don't look for him anymore. I have informed the King of Qi that he will not come."
Zhou Shuren was speechless, so no matter how much he bought, the Prince of Qi would take the blame, and he gave a thumbs up to the Emperor.
The emperor sneered, "I gave you a benefit."
The King of Qi was so happy that he was very happy to take the blame.
Zhou Shuren smiled and followed the emperor to the study. Books were already laid out in front of the study, all packed in boxes. Obviously, they were all ancient books.
Zhou Shuren was envious and lowered his voice, "Is this the entire collection of the Luo family?"
Your Majesty, "Only part of it."
Today, everyone came for ancient books, no empty talk, the host was the eldest son of the Luo family, everyone was straightforward and gave the price.
Zhou Shuren didn't want to raise the price and be taken advantage of, so he just waited quietly.
Then the people behind the emperor spoke up, saying that the King of Qi should be given face, but the King of Chu kept looking at the King of Qi!
Zhou Shuren was in high spirits. The emperor's disguise had been discovered. Even if the emperor didn't say anything, the King of Chu and the King of Qi were very familiar with each other.
The emperor didn't care and asked Zhou Shuren, "Which one do you want to buy?"
Zhou Shuren pointed to two books without hesitation, and then the emperor discovered that sometimes the title of King of Qi was not useful, and there were actually people bidding for it.
After leaving Luo's house, the emperor said, "I should have disguised myself as a younger brother earlier."
Zhou Shuren held the two books and asked, "Isn't this really a gift from the Emperor?"
The emperor smiled wryly, "Marquis Zhou's face has become fatter recently."
Zhou Shuren, "Then give me a discount?"
The emperor stretched out his hand to take the book, but Zhou Shuren dodged and laughed dryly, "I will definitely give the silver to the emperor tomorrow."
Zhulan asked someone to buy the collection from the Luo family. There was nothing she could do because the Luo family did not send an invitation to the Zhou Mansion. Unfortunately, the Zhou Mansion had a lot of connections, so she still bought the collection she liked.
Zhao brought Lin Qing over, and Zhu Lan smiled, "Come and sit down."
Zhao also smiled when she saw the books on the table, "Mother has also found someone to help."
"Yes, can Mingrui get the codex?"
Zhao nodded and said, "I bought it, but it's a little expensive."
Lin Qing smiled, "Thank you, mother."
Zhao was beaming with joy. She was happy that her son was spending money, especially since her son needed the letter for important business.
Zhu Lan said, "The Luo family has always kept their collection and refused to sell it. Now they are selling it, but I don't know if it is enough to compensate for the dowry of the Duke's Mansion."
She heard that the Luo family gave away a lot of Zoya's dowry and it could not be taken back.
Zhao said, "What a pity for the old lady of the Luo family."
Zhulan thought of Miss Ji. The Luo family had declined to the point where they had to sell off their ancestral collections. Miss Ji’s hatred should have dissipated.
On the other hand, Chang Zhi had already left Yang County and received the results of the investigation. "There is no problem."
The servant said, "After careful investigation, it is true that he died of an accidental illness."
It was drizzling outside the carriage. Chang Zhi was staring at the rain in a trance. He had also passed the exam step by step and knew the importance of good health. "What a pity."
He saw the hidden books in the boy's home. He only kept a few enlightenment books and bought the rest.
He did not interfere too much with the child. If the boy had any ideas, he would go and convince his mother.
Chang Zhi thought of this and took out the well-preserved notes from the car cabinet. The woman was in such a difficult life that she never thought of selling it, so he also spent some effort to buy it.
The handwriting in the notes already had some style, and there were articles written for himself on them. Many of the ideas in the notes made his eyes light up. It was a pity that such a genius died in obscurity and had no chance to realize his ambitions and ideals.
The servant sensed his master's unrest. He felt that his master had changed after leaving the capital. He used to be devoted to studying.
Chang Zhi smiled and said, "Send this notebook back to the capital by express horse."
He thought the emperor would like it, and his father would like it too, but he felt disappointed after liking it.
It was sent back to the capital by express horse and soon arrived in the hands of the emperor. The emperor was puzzled at first why a notebook was sent back. After reading it page by page, the emperor sat quietly for a long time.
It was a rare occasion for the Crown Prince to help his father deal with memorials in the palace. As it was getting late, he looked up and saw his father deep in thought about something.
The prince looked at Eunuch Zhang, who shook his head slightly.
The emperor came back to his senses and asked, "Have you finished reviewing the memorials?"
The prince nodded, "Yes."
The reason why your father kept him in the palace was not because he missed him, but because he wanted to rest!
