Raidered Emperor 3
When the Zhou royal family had not yet become emperor, they were a big family and controlled the world's money. No one had ever thought that it was the Zhou family of such a merchant class who had produced a hundred years of emperor and led the Zhou family to officially be promoted to the royal family.
I'm afraid only these Zhou family members know how much property the Zhou family has. In less than a few days, there were rumors outside, especially those who were taken care of, who wrote the former glory of Zhou into songs and sang. Some even said that Zhou predicted this natural disaster two hundred years ago and prepared food, clothing and medicine in advance. This is a warning given by God! The Great Zhou royal family is the son of destiny!
Officials and aristocratic families in various places were also confused by this incident. However, when they saw the food, medicine and clothes, they had to sigh, maybe the Zhou family had some strange people to help, otherwise why would they store so much food and medicine in various places? It just happened to be used for this disaster relief?
The Zhou written above is even more than a hundred years ago. Only those who have experienced that era will understand it. Now, these aristocratic families see the reappearance of this mark that once belonged to the Zhou family. They just feel that they are worried and glad.
Now the snow is still flying, but the people can eat and wear and drink well. Under the arrangement of officials, they will never die in this snowy and ice. This is the first time that the children of aristocratic families have heard the name of the Zhou family from their elders.
This business that was once looked down upon by all aristocratic families and officials had an emperor two hundred years ago! It was that emperor who spread the current Jin Dynasty to the present. How much money does the Zhou business have? Two hundred years ago, many people speculated that some people said it was million gold, while others said it could snatch the wealth of the world.
But later, the rumor went into nothing. Unexpectedly, two hundred years later, the Zhou family business has reappeared! And it was still in this way!
Zhou Zekai pretended to be recuperated for a few days, and finally went to court after many officials kept sending memorials.
In the court, everyone saw that Emperor Hui'an was not as energetic as he was two or three months ago. They knew that Emperor Hui'an was probably sick before and was framed by someone. Now that he was cured, he arrested the culprit. In the case of the Third Prince, Shi Mingzhou, who was responsible for the raid of his house at the time, found a secret passage under the Third Prince's mansion and searched three million taels of silver in it! All of this money has been used for disaster relief.
A few days ago, many officials thought that Emperor Hui'an was really like the news from the palace, and the dragon body was in hindrance! Now, I think it was probably Emperor Hui'an's temptation, but fortunately everyone did not take action.
So in Zhou Zekai's smile, these officials originally wanted to plead for the third prince, but after Zhou Zekai took them out and murdered the three officials together, no one dared to say anything. This was the first time they had seen such a decisive emperor.
Mr. Tong, standing in the hall, didn't know whether he should be grateful or sad.
Soon, no one mentioned the Third Prince in the court and began to plan how to deal with the snow disaster. Under the current controllable situation, the people can live a better life. The still-still heavy snow also gave all officials a headache.
"Three days later, I will climb to the astrology platform and pray to God to pity my great Jin Dynasty! I believe that the snow will definitely stop at that time!"
After leaving this sentence, Zhou Zekai went to court. He remembered clearly that three days later, the day when heavy snow stopped, which would make Emperor Hui'an's name even louder.
After returning to the Yangxin Palace, Zhou Zekai remembered Shu Huiyun.
"Great joy, what's going on with my beloved concubine now?"
Even though he had done that kind of thing, Zhou Zekai could still call his beloved concubine lightly, but he had no feelings for Shu Huiyun.
"Go back to Your Majesty, I'm just waiting for Xiaojiu and 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 he used somehow to deceive His Majesty. Now that His Majesty has seen through the Imperial Concubine's plan, the Imperial Concubine is out of power.
"Okay, please take good care of me, and what happened to the queen?"
Zhou Zekai's empress is the granddaughter of the third generation of imperial teacher Tong, and is also the only legitimate daughter of the Tong family. She is named Tong Yuzhen. She was previously entwined with medicine by Shu Huiyun. Zhou Zekai's eldest prince is Zhou Yu, given birth to the queen. She is eight years old this year.
"When you go back to your Majesty, the Queen is in great health and I also ordered my old slave to thank Your Majesty. However, the eldest prince, I heard that your cold has been cured and I want to see you."
"Oh? Where is he now? I haven't seen him for a long time, go and have a look."
Zhou Zekai didn't know if he would have other children, but now in the palace, except for Zhou Zhan, who was not his child, there were only two children, the eldest prince Zhou Yu and the young princess Zhou Ying. One was born by the queen and the other was born by Concubine Shi. Zhou Zekai planned to train him well.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is studying in the Imperial College at this time..."
After Wang Daxi finished speaking, Zhou Zekai had already stood up and walked towards the door. Regarding his eldest son, Zhou Zekai wanted to find out the situation from his memory, but found that he really knew very little about the child. He went all the way to the Imperial College and under the leadership of Wang Daxi, he came to the place where the prince studied.
Now the eldest prince Zhou Yu has already accompanied him to study, namely the boy from the Wang family and the boy from the Tong family. Three eight-year-old children sat there listening to the teacher's lecture seriously, and Zhou Zekai, who was standing outside the window, had his eyes on Zhou Yu.
I have to say... Zhou Yu's appearance is really carved from the same mold as himself, very detailed, especially his small appearance but serious look made Zhou Zekai feel a little happy.
When Zhou Yu, who was writing, looked up and saw his father standing by the window. He paused his pen and the black ink fell on the rice paper. His eyes were full of surprise and he looked at Zhou Zekai expectantly.
"Father..."
This shout made the Grand Tutor Tong Muzheng, who taught the prince, discover Zhou Zekai's existence and quickly knelt down to greet His Majesty. The two companions beside Zhou Yu also knelt down.
Zhou Zekai walked around the window and came into the door. When he saw Zhou Yu kneeling on the ground to pay his respects, he felt that the child was very kind.
"Get up, I'll come here today to see it. The Grand Tutor said that the Emperor has already studied the Four Books now? He is indeed extremely intelligent. How can I test you today?"
Zhou Yu, who got up from the ground, was so excited that he saw his father, and nodded immediately. He had never seen his father several times since he was born, and was not as fond as his second brother. Now, when he heard that his father wanted to test his knowledge, he was naturally happy to show his feelings in front of his father.
Soon, Zhou Zekai's exam ended successfully. Whether it was the eldest prince Zhou Yu or the two companions, they were smart children. The things they learned were very solid, which made Zhou Zekai feel much more relieved.
"You guys go out and have a stubborn conversation. I'll talk to the Grand Tutor."
After rewarding a lot of things, Zhou Zekai sent his eldest son and looked at the current palace master Tong Muzheng, the most outstanding talent in the Tong family's generation.
The three generations of the imperial teacher of the Tong family, by the time of Tong Muzheng's generation, could no longer escape from this vortex and had a wide connection with the royal family. Even if Tong Muzheng was willing to ask for his orders for the people, he could only enter the palace unwillingly to be the prince's enlightenment tutor.
However, in order to protect her sister's children, Tong Muzheng naturally worked harder and did not want his nephew to fall behind. He had always been very strict in his teachings to Zhou Yu.
However, it was the first time Tong Muzheng saw Emperor Hui'an care about Zhou Yu for several years after entering the palace, which was a bit strange.
"Tao Fu, in three days, I will go to the astrology platform to pray for the Grand Jin Dynasty. At that time, I will take Yu'er. He is my eldest prince, my legitimate son, and the only candidate in this world who can step on the astrology platform with me."
This seemed to be saying to Tong Muzheng, and it seemed to be a simple statement, but it made Tong Muzheng, who had his head lowered, suddenly shine in his eyes, and then return to calm. He didn't understand whether this was the emperor's hint. Could it be that as the palace said, the imperial concubine had lost power?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to teach the eldest prince."
After thinking about it, Tong Muzheng still said this carefully, which made Zhou Zekai laugh, patted Tong Muzheng on the shoulder, and walked out.
After going out, I happened to see my eldest prince playing snowball fights with a few eunuchs. After watching for a while, I smiled and walked towards the queen's bedroom.
The Queen Tong Yuzhen's bedroom is in Kunning Palace, which is a certain distance from the Imperial College. The snowflakes in the sky are still rising. Zhou Zekai walked slowly forward. The eunuchs and palace maids held big umbrellas for Zhou Zekai, so that the snowflakes would not fall on Zhou Zekai's body, but they all fell on their own.
When he arrived at Kunning Palace, Zhou Zekai was already full of heat. When the palace maid at the door saw the emperor coming, he quickly went to inform the empress and welcomed Zhou Zekai into the door.
Compared to the deadly earth dragon burning in Yangxin Palace, Kunning Palace has a faint fragrance of flowers. When he glanced at the red plums inserted in the vase, Zhou Zekai was very satisfied with Kunning Palace.
The queen also hurried over, with her freshly worn clothes and a little sick look on her face.
"I wish you goodbye to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in peace~"
After squatting down to greet the emperor, Zhou Zekai hurriedly helped the person up, then looked at Tong Yuzhen in front of him and said.
"Zi Tong, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and you still need to rest more. I just come to see how your condition is. Now that Zi Tong's complexion has improved, I feel much more relieved."
As the two of them were talking, they sat on the chair beside them. A palace maid came to serve tea. Zhou Zekai looked at Tong Yuzhen carefully and confirmed that Tong Yuzhen was indeed well, and he was in a very good mood.
