Martial arts immortality, I will eventually be invincible

A night passed!

Wang Youfu dragged his tired body back to the prison.

When he saw Chen Guanlou, he just said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"

Five hundred dollars a night, high-intensity physical labor, and no room for error. My body is already drained.

"Go down and have a good rest. I'll give you two days off."

"Thank you, sir! The eunuch who watched the execution last night..."

Chen Guanlou decisively interrupted the other party, "Listen to me, don't say anything, don't ask anything. Whatever happened last night, no matter what you saw or heard, forget it all and don't think about it. Just pretend it never happened. You should not only learn your master's skills, but also learn how to behave in the world. If you want to live to the end of your life, you must learn to keep your mouth shut."

Wang Youfu was stunned and bowed slightly, "Thank you for your advice!" After that, he bowed and retreated.

As the year draws to a close, under normal circumstances, the government will not cause too much trouble at this time. Generally speaking, this time is the quietest period of the year, except for being a little busy. The busyness is mainly due to the year-end settlement and summary, and the accounts of the year should be settled and settled.

The Ministry of Justice is a major debtor.

The Ministry of Justice has been dragging its feet on the money and food for the Tianlao. It will drag on as long as it can. If they don't push for it, the Ministry of Justice will pretend that they don't know that they need to allocate funds and food, and will play dumb.

Therefore, the most important task of Tianlao at the end of the year, in addition to clearing the internal accounts of Tianlao, is to urge the Ministry of Justice to replenish the arrears of food and grass three times a day. As a legal advisor, Mu Qingshan is responsible for running to the Ministry of Justice with official documents every day to act as a villain to collect debts.

Everyone knew that he couldn't get a single grain of rice or a penny, but he had to go through the necessary procedures and not skip a single step. Otherwise, it would seem that Tianlao didn't care about money and grain, and people would misunderstand that Tianlao was so rich that it no longer cared about the money and grain from the Ministry of Justice.

The only person who can really get money and food, apart from the logistics guys, is Chen Guanlou. After a reorganization, the logistics department is not as strong as before. Therefore, the only one who can be counted on is Lord Chen, the prison warden.

Chen Guanlou has been feeling lazy lately and doesn't like to move much.

He asked Mu Qingshan to take the official letter and go to Sun Daoning. But this guy was timid and didn't dare to go. He was a great official in the Ministry of Justice. How could a small master dare to urge the Shangshu to allocate money and grain?

He was extremely disgusted and thought none of them were useful.

waste!

He asked Qian Fugui to go find Sun Daoning, but Qian Fugui didn't dare to go either. "My Lord, you are such a joke. Who am I to dare to ask the Shangshu for money and food? It would be a light punishment to kick me out. I'm afraid that the Shangshu will be furious and kill me directly. My Lord, please be kind and don't embarrass me."

"He won't kill you." Chen Guanlou said.

Qian Fugui shook his head like a rattle, fearing that if he was a little slower, he would be in this mess.

Chen Guanlou was particularly disgusted, "What use are you if there is no one who can share my worries!"

Qian Fugui said nothing, but smiled. As long as he is not allowed to go to collect the debt, let alone being scolded, even if his legs are broken, it's fine! When the time comes, I will take a public holiday, don't be too beautiful!

Chen Guanlou was particularly disgusted and waved his hand to send the person away.

At this moment, Lu Datou came into the office and said, "Brother, Brother Chen, I just came back from outside and heard a big news. The King of Success has fallen!"

Chen Guanlou sat up suddenly. What the hell is this?

"King Cheng is defeated now?"

"It is absolutely true! The messenger who brought the news has entered the palace, and the news has spread. If the king is victorious, His Majesty will surely grant amnesty to the whole nation."

"You are dreaming. His Majesty is the most stingy person, how can he be so kind as to grant amnesty to the whole world? Go and find out what the specific situation is. Is King Cheng captured, or is he already dead?"

"To say that he was defeated should mean that he was dead. After King Cheng's defeat, will the Marquis be able to come back?"

"Get lost!"

Chen Guanlou cursed.

The Marquis would never return to the capital. Returning to the capital would mean being confined in the Marquis's mansion again, unable to do anything. Only outside could he achieve much.

Emperor Jianshi is not the previous emperor, and he does not have the ability to call people back.

The news of King Cheng's defeat quickly spread throughout the capital, and the people were delighted. With one less rebel, everyone's burden would be lightened.

I can only say that the people are stupid and naive!

How can we reduce taxes that have been added in every possible way?

The rentier class will only turn the increased taxes into fixed taxes, not tax cuts. Reality will give all those who have illusions a slap in the face.

It was repeatedly confirmed that King Cheng was dead, not captured.

King Cheng was poisoned, and the poison had penetrated deep into his bones. It was beyond expectation that he could hold out for so many years. Now that he was dead, King Cheng's rebels would naturally scatter like birds and beasts and surrender.

Emperor Jianshi in the palace laughed with joy and was in an extremely happy mood.

Although King Cheng died, he was a little disappointed that he didn't kill the man himself. But he was overwhelmed with joy. He went to the harem that night and favored the most beautiful concubine. After a night of fighting, he failed to get up on time the next morning. Although the eunuchs kept calling him to wake up, he was dragged down and beaten.

As the sun rose higher, the court officials had been waiting for a long time, waiting to discuss how to deal with the northwest region after the king's defeat, especially how to deal with Pingjiang Hou.

This is a matter of great importance to the country and the people, how can it be delayed again and again?

The chief eunuch Wang Defa was also extremely anxious.

If you delay any further, your Majesty's reputation will be ruined! If you indulge in pleasure and favor the concubines in the harem, thus delaying state affairs, if this gets out, I don't know what people will say. I'm afraid you will be labeled a tyrant.

Wang Defa looked at the sun and decided that he could not delay any longer, so he went to ask Emperor Jianshi to get up and change his clothes.

Emperor Jianshi was very noisy last night, and even used incense to help him get excited. It was fun, but my body was weak. After all, an old man couldn't be as vigorous as a young man. It was a bit difficult to get up early.

After lying on the bed in a daze for a long time, he heard some noise and asked, "Is it Wang Defa?"

"Your Majesty, it is this servant. The officials in the Council of State have been waiting in the Taiji Palace for a long time. Does Your Majesty want to see you?"

"Of course I'll summon you! Change your clothes!"

When Wang Defa heard that he was going to change clothes, he burst into tears of joy! He quickly waved his hand, and a row of palace servants lined up to enter the room to serve.

Emperor Jianshi drank a bowl of health-preserving soup, and his tired body felt much better, and the fatigue on his brows faded. Wang Defa took the opportunity to say, "The Queen sent someone to ask early in the morning whether the palace would celebrate the success or failure of the king. If it was to celebrate, would it be for the emperor and his subjects to celebrate together, or would it be a family banquet?"

In fact, the queen wanted to remind Emperor Jianshi not to indulge in beauty and ruin his reputation. She also wanted to warn the concubines not to seduce the emperor and ruin his health. When doing things in the palace, you can't just do it blindly, you need to find a reason. Here, there is a ready-made reason, whether to hold a banquet to celebrate the success or failure of the king.

Even if Emperor Jianshi guessed the queen's true intention, he could not criticize her for doing something wrong. The queen just fulfilled her responsibilities as a queen, how could she be punished? Unclear rewards and punishments are the source of chaos!
