The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 198

[Chapter 196]

“Now that you’re a prisoner, what qualifications do you think you have to make a request? Besides, many people already know your identity, no matter what your original intentions are, it’s not someone else who pushed you to where you are today. It’s you.” Shen Yu said.

“You’re right,” Zeng Taifu was stunned for a moment, his aura became sluggish, “it’s nothing more than a self-deception.”

“The late emperor left half a million soldiers and horses, and I can only call half of them, and I can also use the rest. I don’t know where it is, but there is still a lot of money and jewelry left, and I can only use 30% of it. By the way, this batch of property contains a large number of battle armors, which were left by the Lin family army who were invincible…” Mrs.

Zeng After explaining a lot, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin stayed in the prison for more than an hour before leaving.

Sitting on the carriage returning to the palace, Shen Yu held the hand stove: “Your Majesty thinks, how true or false is Mrs. Zeng’s words?

” It’s so simple, so it’s not like Mr. Fang couldn’t ask for any useful information after asking for so long.

“No matter how true or false, I will send people to verify them one by one. Although he mentioned the arrangements left by the late emperor, he did not say where these undiscovered arrangements were. Whether they really didn’t know, or deliberately didn’t say, only He knows it himself.”

Shen Yu nodded: “Let Lord Fang continue to interrogate, maybe he will find something.” Shen

Yu originally wanted to take this opportunity to see King Yue, but after delaying at Mrs. Zeng’s side for too long, the sky was getting darker. It was dark, and Shang Junlin didn’t want him to see the King of Yue, so he didn’t go.

After returning to Yuzhang Palace, Eunuch Meng hurriedly ordered people to prepare hot water, took a bath in a depressing and comfortable bath, and came out after changing into clean clothes.

Shang Junlin also changed into light clothes. If he didn’t have to go to court, he would not wear complicated mian clothes, but prefer simpler casual clothes.

A man wearing a black wide-sleeved cannon sat on the edge of the soft couch, with a small table in front of him with a thick stack of memorials folded on it.

The man had a straight back, and he wrote and wrote down comments. He was very fast. He put the approved papers to one side. After a few copies, Eunuch Meng would take them down and put them on the table on the other side.

It was very warm in the bedroom, Shen Yu had just finished taking a shower, and his clothes were relatively thin. When he heard the footsteps, Shang Jun raised his eyes.

He put down the pen, got up, picked up the cloak on the side, and walked towards Shen Yu.

“Why do you only wear so little?”

“It’s not cold.” Shen Yu raised his neck so that the man could tie the straps of his cloak for him.

“You can’t wear something so thin if it’s not cold.”

“I know, Your Majesty.”

Shang Junlin nodded in satisfaction.

Shen Yu was hugged by the man and sat on the soft couch, just in time to see the half-approved memorial on the small table.

It was submitted by officials of Linxian County. After a year of hard work, Linxian County has achieved great results in water control. This year’s spring flood season is the best time to check the results.

“Obtaining Ayu’s prescription, the people I sent to Linxian to control the floods are a treasure. I have been doing it according to the above content this year. Last year, several small floods were passed without any risk.” Long hair on the gloomy back.

“It’s good if it works.” Shen Yu rolled his eyes.

He took out these things in order to be able to play a role in Da Huan. In the face of natural disasters, manpower is always insignificant, but not all natural disasters can only make people helpless. Some can be prevented in advance and minimize losses as much as possible. .

After the beginning of the spring, the court fell into a new round of busyness. The reform of the new commercial law was proposed at this time. Not surprisingly, there were many objections in the court.

Any reform will go through this, Shen Yu accepted it well, Shang Junlin let the court quarrel for a few days, and finally agreed to the reform proposed by the Minister of the Ministry of Housing.

“No, Your Majesty, compared to the previous dynasty, Da Huan has already treated the merchants well enough, and he can’t let the merchants become bigger.”

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing was dissatisfied: “Have you carefully read the method I proposed? But if you read it carefully, you will never say such a thing. If you object, I welcome it, but the premise is that the reasons for your objection must be meaningful. Don’t just guess what’s going on.”

The official did not read carefully the new commercial law proposed by the Minister of the Household, and was speechless by the words of the Minister of Household.

“Okay, leave this matter to the Minister of the Household to implement, is there anything else to be heard?”

Shang Junlin’s attitude was very clear, since this matter has been settled, don’t talk nonsense.

The first thing to do in the new year is to change the laws on merchants. In fact, there are not many changes, such as the fact that the sons of merchants are not allowed to enter the dynasty as officials. There is no change, but some things have been added. For example, Yan Zheng previously sponsored the Ministry of Industry to build roads. , merchants from all over the country donated Subei materials and other acts, which were recognized by the court.

The court will give certain preferential treatment according to their contributions.

After a whole winter, the stele engraved with the donations of the donors has been carved and will be placed in the most conspicuous place in the capital in the future.

The People’s Daily made a special report on this matter, including the changes in the commercial law. Ordinary people did not pay much attention to the latter, and they focused on the former.

“The people’s newspaper said that the stone tablet has been carved, and it will be placed on the auspicious day selected by the Qin Tianjian.”

“I saw it too. If you count the days, there are only ten days. I will definitely see it then. , when I donated, I donated a lot of things, and it was really exciting to think that my name could be engraved by the imperial court.”

“Yes, we are just ordinary people, who would have thought that there would be such a day?

” In time, what the people were talking about became a stone tablet that was about to be completed. They followed the Subei disaster throughout the whole process. Seeing that Subei, who had contributed money and efforts, became better and better after the disaster, everyone felt satisfied.

Who doesn’t want their efforts to be rewarded, although this reward is not a substantive thing, it can give people great spiritual satisfaction.

“By the way, today is the day when the Jing’an News is published, are you going to buy it?”

“Go, of course, this newspaper is cheap, and there is a special section for literacy, not to mention, now I can barely understand it. I

have some.”

“Me too, if I buy ten copies of the newspaper, I can get a cover book, and if I buy tomorrow, I can get a copy. My boy is about to open the cover, so he can use it.”

“I I never thought that I would be able to read and write one day.”

“Maybe in the future, His Majesty will open a large Mongolian school, and every household can be literate.” In the

past, the common people didn’t think much about literacy and literacy. Feeling the disadvantages of being illiterate, now there is a way to read and write, and the price is not expensive. People with some spare money in their hands are happy to learn it.

The Jing’an News in the mouth of the common people is a newspaper jointly run by Shen Yu’s bookstore and the imperial court. The price is cheap, and the issue is published every ten days. Not big, some basic words will be put in for buyers to learn.

The ministers of the aristocratic family were busy with various matters in the DPRK, and for the time being, they did not notice any changes in the people. When they found out, the foreshadowing had already been laid, and even if they were dissatisfied, they could not do anything.

The King of Yue was dreaming again.

He knew that he was dreaming, because the development in the dream was completely different from the reality. In the dream, all his plans went smoothly. Under his plan, Shang Junlin’s reputation was getting worse and worse. The most important point is, Shen Yu did not enter the palace, but Shen Qingran, the concubine of the Marquis of Zhenbei, entered the palace.

In the palace, no one was named noble from the beginning to the end.

In this dream, the person Shen Yu fell in love with was him, and the camp he chose was also him.

Shen Yu returned to the fief with him, and took care of everything in the fief for him. Under the tyranny of Shang Junlin, a steady stream of people came to him, and they brought a lot of money and troops.

In the dream, he had divine help, and everything went smoothly. He watched Shang Junlin lose a little bit, the prestige of the imperial court collapsed, and his power grew stronger and stronger.

In the dream, the time progressed very quickly. He saw a huge flood in Linxian County. He stepped forward at the moment of crisis. He saw the outbreak of the plague in the south.

The northern bandits rebelled, and Shang Junlin led his troops on an expedition, and he was killed in the battle at the last stop. Since then, the world has been in chaos.

He was enthroned as the emperor surrounded by the crowd.

Then woke up.

On the night before his enthronement, he was awakened by the jailer.

For several days later, he had the same dream over and over again, and without exception, he woke up on the eve of his enthronement.

The dream was vague at first, but then became more and more real, so real that he couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of depression that he didn’t enter the palace, and things would develop just like what happened in his dream.

The jailer guarding King Yue found that King Yue started to talk nonsense, all of which were outrageous and outrageous. He did not dare to hide it and reported the matter.

King Yue is crazy.

“Those who don’t know think how I mistreat him.” Shang Junlin sneered after listening to the report.

Shen Yu sat on the side and played with the chess score. The chess score was found in the library of the palace. Seeing that Shen Yu was interested, Shang Junlin gave him the chess score.

“What did he do?” Shen Yu put down the chess sheet and asked.

“Returning to Guijun, the prisoner has been talking nonsense in the prison, saying,” the Minister of Punishment glanced at Shang Junlin, and continued boldly, “Say that he will soon ascend to the throne or something.”

“Your Majesty forgives the sin .

, Wei Chen is just repeating…”

“I didn’t do anything, what are you so afraid of?” Shang Junlin was displeased.

The Minister of Punishment said: “You haven’t done anything, but you are so cold that I believe you will drag me out and chop me up next.”

“Tell me to be specific.”

“Yes, the performance of King Yue was not quite right some time ago, and the jailer didn’t take it seriously. In recent days, the jailer found that he was often talking nonsense, such as floods in Linxian County, plagues in the south, and rebellions in the north… …and finally said that he was the one who ended all of this, and he should be the Lord of Heaven’s Destiny…”

Shen Yu didn’t take it seriously at first, and the more he listened, the more wrong he felt. A single incident can be said to be a coincidence, if everything happened Can you match your past life?

My heart sank unconsciously.

What the King of Yue said was from a previous life?

He was reborn too?

“Your Excellency, why did King Yue say such a thing?” Shen Yu’s hand clenched slowly by his side.

“It’s because of a dream. This minister has confirmed that what the King of Yue said was what he dreamed about in his dreams. He doesn’t seem to be able to distinguish between dreams and reality.” The Minister of Punishment said.

Are you dreaming about your past life?

Depressed fell silent.

Hearing the words of the Minister of Punishment, he doesn’t seem to have dreamed of the ending of his previous life, otherwise he would be immersed in the dream and unable to wake up. Should he tell him to turn a beautiful dream into a nightmare?
