The goal that I have been pursuing all my life is now in front of me. I just need to eat these things and then lead the world to eat them. Faced with such a temptation, who can resist it?
eat!
What's there to hesitate about? Let alone these things at this time, even if it was something as disgusting as eating locusts raw like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, they could eat it without any hesitation.
Anyone who doesn't let them eat now is their life and death enemy.
Otherwise, Uncle Li would be able to sit on the throne of the Minister of Rites. Before others could react, he was the first to understand the powerful relationship and the benefits of eating this food.
He casually picked up a piece of scallop, and Uncle Li ate it clumsily without changing his face. While eating, he ignored the etiquette of saying nothing during eating and sleeping, and said in a tearful tone: "Well, well, well, the emperor cares about the common people, dares to be the first for the world, and wants to save food rations for the people. Although I am dull, I hope to follow your majesty to the death. , I will never regret it even after nine deaths!”
As soon as Uncle Li's words came out, other people stared at him angrily. I cursed secretly in my heart. It was you who stood up to challenge His Majesty, and now it is you who suddenly surrendered. You want fame and fortune, right? It would be too ugly to look at the food.
This is how people are, when everyone is hesitant, no one will rush forward and try, and the commanders will watch the excitement. But once one person rushes forward, others will follow suit, as if they are afraid that they will suffer a loss if they are slow.
In just a few snaps of his fingers, everyone who reacted followed suit and expressed their loyalty to Lao Zhu while eating.
"I am willing to follow Your Majesty and never regret it!"
After all the twists and turns, Lao Zhu looked at the performance of the officials with satisfaction. Even the slight grudge against Li Shuzheng just now has disappeared. Thinking about it, although Li Shuzheng is a bit old-fashioned, he can still stand by me at critical moments.
"Okay, this is my beloved. Flat body!"
After all the officials had eaten the seafood and left the court, Lao Zhu specially left Han Du behind.
"You are really good at leading Li Shuzheng by the nose with just a few words." Lao Zhu was also recalling and reflecting on what happened in Fengtian Palace. He was wondering why Li Shuzheng refused to obey at first, and even did not hesitate to contradict him for this? Later, Han Du just cited an example of Tang Taizong eating locusts, but Li Shuzheng was uncharacteristically willing to eat seafood? Not only was he willing to eat it, but looking at Uncle Li, he would get angry with anyone who wouldn't let him eat it.
Han Du leaned over and bowed, and replied humbly: "The emperor's words are serious. Is this the minister's ability? It is clear that the emperor cares about the common people and has moved all the officials."
Lao Zhu waved his hand to Han Du's low-level flattery, as if he didn't care. Lao Zhu himself also wanted to understand Han Du's method, which was to induce him with benefits.
After taking a sip of the ginseng tea, Lao Zhu suddenly thought of what Li Shuzheng said about Han Du's house being haunted, and asked, "What's going on in your house? Is it really haunted, or is it just false news?"
When Han Du heard this, he did not answer, but just smiled at Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu immediately understood and waved the people around him to leave.
"Can we tell you what happened now?"
"Yes," Han Du said with a solemn expression as the smile faded from his face, "What happened at Chen's house is not that it is haunted or that the rumors are false, but that someone is pretending to be a ghost."
"What's going on?" Lao Zhu looked serious. If there are really people playing tricks at Han Du's house, what is the purpose of these people?
Han Du calmly explained: "Actually, I knew what was going on on the first night. Someone secretly smeared eel blood on my door."
"Smear eel's blood? What's the use of this?" Lao Zhu was well-informed, but he didn't know what the use of eel's blood was.
Han Du continued to explain: "Eel blood is the most attractive to bats. Once it is painted on the door, at night, when bats come out, they will be attracted by the eel blood and fly to the door. It will make a sound as if someone is at the door. It's like knocking on the door outside. When the person sleeping in the house hears the noise and opens the door to look, the bats will feel that someone is approaching and they will disperse. When there is no one outside the door, they will think they have seen a ghost. These They are just some unscrupulous tricks that are not worth mentioning. And after what happened that day, my father gave an order to strictly prohibit the family members from talking about the matter, and even banned it from spreading outside the country. The emperor also knew that there were only a few people in the minister's family, not to mention that they were not Let them spread the word, even if they are allowed to say it. It is impossible for it to spread throughout the entire capital in just a few days. There must be someone here who is adding fuel to the flames. Maybe from the moment they take action, Rumors began to spread that the minister’s house was haunted.”
Han Du said it easily, but Lao Zhu's expression was still as solemn as before.
After pondering for a while, he said: "So, someone is trying to get your idea?"
Han Du smiled and nodded, "I thought so too. So I didn't care about him. Since there are people who spend so much time doing these things, as long as I wait, they will naturally jump out."
This is the reason. As long as Han Du continues to wait, these people will definitely jump out on their own. Otherwise, after they have done so many things, wouldn’t it be in vain if they didn’t show up in the end?
"Have you ever thought about who these people are?" Lao Zhu asked.
Han Du thought for a moment, nodded and replied: "I have thought about it and have some ideas."
Seeing Lao Zhu Ding looking at him, Han Du continued: "In terms of official position, I am just an eighth-grade petty official. In terms of family fortune, I am not afraid of the emperor's jokes. I am afraid that with my little wealth, I can't afford these people to spend so much effort. Therefore, after much thought, I am afraid there is only one reason, treasure money!"
Treasure money!
Lao Zhu instantly raised his head, looking at Han Du's eyes, his pupils shrank violently.
Yes, if you want to take advantage of Han Du, you don't have to target him or his family. It can totally be something related to Han Du.
And treasure money is the biggest possibility!
You must know that when Han Du checked the number of treasure notes issued by the treasure banknote collection department over the years, he discovered that someone had secretly printed the treasure banknotes. Moreover, Han Du found out that someone was printing treasure banknotes privately not through verification of any evidence, but through magical means such as calculation. Those who secretly printed treasure banknotes are probably still complacent, thinking that no one will discover them.
Then why did they come to take advantage of Han Du again? Isn’t it good that they continue to secretly print treasure banknotes? Lao Zhu lowered his eyes and thought.
Suddenly, Lao Zhu seemed to have thought of something and turned back to the dragon chair.
