The moment Zhan Zhu walked into the Daodao Hall, he saw the Imperial Master's face full of solemnity and Emperor Zhengde's face full of joy.
Take another look at the round pill in Emperor Zhengde's hand.
Zhan Zhu hurriedly stopped and quietly walked aside to wait silently.
As Emperor Zhengde's personal eunuch, Zhan Zhu, who had served Emperor Zhengde for more than 20 years, understood very well that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
Especially in the years before and after the witchcraft disaster, Emperor Zhengde had great faith in foreigners.
Although there was a slight improvement after the witchcraft disaster, after this year's drought, Emperor Zhengde often suffered from nightmares. The help of the alchemist Li Shaojun alleviated the nightmares.
It was precisely for this reason that Emperor Zhengde made a special trip to free up a main hall and renamed it Daodao Hall.
Li Shaojun was appointed as the national advisor of the Zhou Dynasty.
Whenever Emperor Zhengde went to the Daodao Palace to study Taoism, these servants could only wait quietly at the entrance of the palace.
No entry is allowed unless it is a major event.
Zhan Zhu had served Emperor Zhengde for more than 20 years, so he naturally knew how to avoid making Emperor Zhengde unhappy and not delay important events.
The moment Zhan Zhu entered the Daodao Hall, Emperor Zhengde was already aware of it.
How could Emperor Zhengde forget the rules he had set?
However, at this moment, the big thing is not as big as taking the pill.
Emperor Zhengde raised the elixir in his hand, which was as big as a date and unusually round.
Swallow it slowly into your mouth.
"Your Majesty, water without roots." National Preceptor Li Shaojun brought a glass of water at the right time.
Emperor Zhengde reached out to take the water and slowly brought it to his mouth. The elixir was taken by the water and quickly entered his stomach.
Emperor Zhengde closed his eyes slightly and felt it carefully for a moment.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect or if the elixir itself has some medicinal effects.
When Emperor Zhengde opened his eyes, he felt relaxed.
Emperor Zhengde's heart was overjoyed and he laughed loudly and said: "Good elixir, good elixir, there will be rewards, rewards, rewards!"
"Come here!" Emperor Zhengde ordered angrily: "I will reward the Imperial Master a hundred taels of gold, a set of three houses in the city, and ten pieces of silk and satin each!"
The words are over.
Li Shaojun bowed in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift."
Looking at Li Shaojun's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, Emperor Zhengde couldn't help but nodded slightly in his heart.
...
Outside the Avenue Hall.
Emperor Zhengde suppressed the joy on his face and returned to his previous calm and authoritative imperial posture.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Emperor Zhengde asked as he walked.
Zhan Zhu was always one step behind Emperor Zhengde. Hearing this, he replied: "It's about disaster relief and the Sixth Prince."
"Lao Liu?" Emperor Zhengde paused, turned to look at Zhan Zhu and frowned: "Did he get into trouble?"
In Emperor Zhengde's mind, Xu Yi's disaster relief was nothing more than treating a dead horse as a live doctor.
As for the effectiveness within three days of taking office, this is simply a fantasy.
Zhan Zhu hurriedly reported the matter to Emperor Zhengde in detail.
When Emperor Zhengde heard that Zhao Shou had a meal of wine and collected more than 500 taels of silver notes.
Emperor Zhengde's expression was slightly abnormal.
However, the emperor's character developed over many years prevented Emperor Zhengde from saying too many words.
Instead, he continued to listen.
He wanted to see how much trouble this incompetent sixth man could create within three days of taking office.
When Zhan Zhu talked about Qin Fuping walking into Jingzhao Mansion.
Emperor Zhengde frowned slightly for a moment.
"Your Majesty?" Zhan Zhu asked hurriedly, noticing that Emperor Zhengde's expression was not right.
Emperor Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Continue."
"Yes." Zhan Zhu nodded and continued to tell.
After a while, he told me about the disaster relief merit monument.
After hearing this, Emperor Zhengde nodded slightly and said nothing, but his expression improved a lot quietly.
After a while.
When I heard Xu Yi questioning the official's house owner's records, he unexpectedly learned that the man behind the scenes was actually the Prime Minister Han Simong.
"This Han Tong is really brave." Emperor Zhengde sneered and said slowly.
No matter what, Xu Yi is still his son.
When did the people of the royal family fall to the point where others can plot whatever they want?
Zhan Zhu chuckled and continued: "Later, the Sixth Prince followed the lead and found more than 10,000 taels of gold and silver, fine wine, famous swords, antique calligraphy and paintings, and several large boxes from Han Tong's foreign residence."
"More than ten thousand taels of gold and silver? How many large boxes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings?" Emperor Zhengde continued to ask with a straight face: "I remember that Han Tong only took up the post of Prime Minister of Jingzhao Mansion this year, right?"
Zhan Zhu nodded and replied: "I will take office in February this year."
Emperor Zhengde sneered when he heard this and said slowly: "Okay, okay, he has been able to embezzle so much in less than a year. This Han Xiangrong's son is really good."
Emperor Zhengde looked cold and asked: "How did Lao Liu deal with Han Tong? Was he put in jail or not?"
Zhan Zhu hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince immediately took the position of Prime Minister of Han Tong, and then ordered Qin Shilang to decapitate him according to the court rules."
"Ha!" Emperor Zhengde sneered and said, "They really deserve to be killed! These corrupt officials are fed by the people's fat, and they are sucking the blood of our great Zhou Dynasty. Such people are already taking advantage of them."
"Come here!" Emperor Zhengde yelled and ordered: Order the cabinet to draft an edict. Han Xiangrong has no way to teach his son. He should be removed from the post of Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple and demoted to a commoner! "
"Invite Wang Chenglin to meet me in the imperial study!" Emperor Zhengde ordered with a serious face.
And that Wang Chenglin was surprisingly the Minister of Punishment of the Zhou Dynasty.
Zhan Zhu's heart trembled and he thought: "The Chang family is gone."
"go on."
"Follow the order." Zhan Zhu hurriedly recovered and reported again: "After Han Tong fell to the throne, the Sixth Prince ordered people to turn the disaster relief monument to reveal the disaster relief monument behind it."
"Moreover, Han Tong's name and the amount of embezzled money should be engraved on the monument of shame."
"The Sixth Prince made it clear in public that all the stolen money will be used for disaster relief."
Emperor Zhengde looked thoughtful. After a moment, he chuckled and motioned for Zhan Zhu to continue talking.
Zhan Zhu nodded and said: "After that, the Sixth Prince fulfilled his promise in public and donated one thousand three hundred and sixty-five taels of silver."
Emperor Zhengde sighed slightly when he heard this and said with emotion: "It's really hard for him."
The monthly salary of Youningyuan of Zongzheng Temple is only over 200 taels a year, and eight years without food or water is only worth 1,600 taels.
This donated one thousand three hundred and sixty-five taels is naturally Xu Yi's entire property.
Emperor Zhengde sighed again in his heart, and then ordered: "Continue."
Zhan Zhu remembered Emperor Zhengde's reaction in his mind, and then continued: "After that, the six princes exchanged words and forced Qin Shilang to donate one thousand taels of silver."
If Emperor Zhengde had not sighed and sighed, Zhan Zhu would naturally not have used words such as words to provoke and force.
Seeing that Emperor Zhengde did not show any displeasure.
Zhan Zhu calmed down and continued: "After Qin Shilang was forced to donate, when he was about to say goodbye, Kaiyuan Zhang Fuwei stepped forward at the right time and also donated a thousand taels. Seeing this, Qin Shilang didn't say much and said goodbye directly. go."
Emperor Zhengde sneered and said slowly: "A fifth-rank lieutenant can donate the same amount as a third-rank Zuo Shilang, haha."
