Master Shen's Journey Through Time

Chapter 67 The Death of Zhou Sikong

Xiao Yunian came here in the spring rain, while I was painting Huang Chanyuan's portrait.

Seeing him coming suddenly, I was startled at first, but I have been waiting for him for a long time, and my hands are so painful that I can't lift them up.

Sure enough, Xiao Yunian came to complain. After exchanging pleasantries, I found out that Xiao Yunian directly expressed his interest in Zhou's daughter to the emperor. Xiao Chuan didn't object at first, but he was about to agree, and Zhou Sikong opposed it with death.

He even said that he got too close to me recently, and his purpose was not pure.

I comforted him as usual and invited him to lunch.

During the dinner, Qing Yuan pretended to be very happy and told us that she recently discovered a kind of grass called primrose.

This kind of grass is comparable to ginseng for the elderly, and it has been lost for a long time, so it is very precious.

Primrose is also beautiful, convenient and nourishing to eat, so she suggested that I present it to the Queen Mother.

Of course I agreed, and then Qing Yuan told me that this primrose should not be eaten with leeks, they are mutually incompatible, if they are used together within an hour, they are undoubtedly eating Hedinghong.

But death will be very comfortable, because primrose and leeks will produce a hallucinogenic effect, people will die in a dream.

After death, it was difficult to find that it was poisoning, so this primrose was almost extinct. Too many people really needed it.

I answered casually: "I really want to give someone a bite!"

Then he exchanged a look with Xiao Yunian with the eyes of "you understand".

Xiao Yunian took some away that day, saying it was for the wet nurse.

Xiao Yunian regards this nurse as better than I treat Hualin, probably because she lacks love so much, so she cherishes this relationship even more.

But I waited for five days and didn't see Xiao Yunian making a move. It seems that he is still hesitating.

So I asked Shuyan to use my order to find a eunuch who was next to Xiao Yunian to poison Xiao Yunian's wet nurse.

The eunuch brought a special "Poria cocos and bird's nest soup" and said that it was given to Xiao Yunian by Concubine Huang Gui, and that every prince and princess had it.

Xiao Yunian didn't think much about it, so he asked someone to inquire about it, and found that everyone had it.

So I gave it to the nurse with peace of mind, but his nurse was poisoned, but the treatment was timely, so I asked Qing Yuan to go for a diagnosis and treatment.

And the eunuch also honestly confessed that Mr. Zhou poisoned him and promised him some benefits. He was fooled by pork, and then committed suicide.

On the third day of Xiao Yunian's anger, he asked someone to deliver the primrose to Zhou Sikong for him.

And that bowl of "Fuling Bird's Nest Soup" was indeed given by Huang Guifei. I asked Yunyao to give Huang Guifei a lot of bird's nest, and it happened to be a little princess's birthday.

Concubine Huang Gui is so good at being a person, so naturally everyone will share a share.

So it's a matter of course.

What Xiao Yunian was looking for was a doorman of the Zhou family, and this doorman was a typical villain.

On the one hand, he is flattering and flattering, and wants to please the Zhou family; on the other hand, he maintains close ties with the poor family group, and wants to get involved with Xiao Yunian.

He thinks he is smart enough to please both parties, but he doesn't know that both parties don't like him.

Primrose was given by Xiao Yunian to another clientele who had a good relationship with this bully. After learning about it, the bully felt that there was merit to be found, so he begged his friend to give him the opportunity.

His good friend was an honest man, and he gave Primrose to the bully without even thinking about it.

And the bully also thinks that he has benefited.

As for Leek, it would be good to buy a chef directly. Anyway, the chef thinks that if the master likes his dishes, he can get promoted and get benefits from others.

Leek doesn't know how to do tricks anyway, it's just a piece of leek, it's too simple.

The news of Zhou Sikong's death was sent to the palace that night, and the emperor was stunned for a long time.

He ordered Zhou Sikong to be buried generously, and then directly summoned the Minister of Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly.

I also followed the emperor in mourning clothes to worship Zhou Sikong.

He can be regarded as my grandfather, and I have to mourn for him...

Shen Yan and Shen Ling's marriage was therefore postponed.

However, Zhou Shangshu and Mrs. Zhou don't seem to welcome my arrival very much. If I didn't follow the emperor, I would probably be kicked out...

But in front of the emperor and other people, I performed a play of "the prodigal son turns back, thank you for teaching", knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, thanking Zhou Sikong for his encouragement and teaching...

If everyone was moved by me, the main focus would be Jane and others;

On the way back, the emperor invited me to ride with him.

Then he finally couldn't help laughing, and wiped the tears from my cheeks while laughing.

Xiao Chuan really saw through me...

And I have known for a long time that he must be more happy than sad about Zhou Sikong's death. After all, the struggle between imperial power and phase power is an inevitable contradiction in the feudal monarchy.

"The old man often said 'It's a coincidence to wear filial piety'. I didn't feel much before, but seeing Shen Chu today, I realized that the old man's wisdom is still great...."

"This material was rewarded by the emperor. It's the first time for this minister to wear high-quality snow silk..."

"Hahaha, this material is just taking advantage of you..."

As a result, after I went back, the emperor rewarded me with three more high-quality snow silks, one of which was still bright red.

The bright red top-quality snow silk is usually worn by the emperor and the crown prince when they get married, not because of any rank, but because it is rare.

Snow silk is one of the best silks, which can only be made by the snow silkworms near the Tianshan Mountains eating winter mulberry leaves. There are less than fifty pieces of silk a year, and there are only about ten pieces of high-quality snow silk.

However, it takes two years to dye the bright red top-grade snow silk, which requires a special dye, otherwise it will damage the texture of the snow silk, so it is difficult.

Emperors and empresses couldn't afford the high-quality bright red snow silk for their court clothes.

So I feel that the emperor is implying me something?

There is no prince now, so I cannot be the princess (unless the prince is Yuqing).

The queen has nothing to do with me either. Although she is not in good health, she is still alive.

So...the Holy Son...is it true? ? ?

Sure enough, before my birthday came in July, people wrote letters suggesting the establishment of a "Holy Son".

Their reasons are very nice, and they feel that if I am a courtier, then it is nondescript, and it is not good for me and the emperor; but if I am a holy son, then it is not too much to interfere in politics.

I don't understand what their point is, why can't I interfere in politics, I am obviously a courtier.

It is probably because the emperor recently carried out tax reforms based on the tax system I implemented in Yuci County back then, which touched their interests.

After all, the family didn't have many shops and no business.

Although it is said that officials do not collect taxes, a lot of taxes are charged on business money.

And now everyone knows that the previous imperial examination system was my idea, so the nobles who already hated me hated me even more.

The advantage of the imperial examination system is that the imperial examination system coexisted with the shadow system, so it did not completely harm their interests, and now the underprivileged party has no climate at all. In order to prevent future partisan disputes, we originally mixed them together, so before they Don't hate me that much.

But this time, even the Minister of Honglu Temple even said that I even counted my birthday, saying it is very auspicious...

At that time, I really felt like asking someone to kill Honglusi Qing.

I feel that the emperor seems to be really moved.

The minister is terrified.
