Chapter 328 The Emperor Is Crazy

"Where is Liu Zhao now?"

The emperor suddenly asked Liu Zhao's whereabouts.

The Shaofu family made some drums in his heart.

Chen Jianzheng Chen Dachang bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the imperial edict has arrived at Beirong Royal Court, and the specific news will take a few days to receive."

The emperor nodded, and suddenly laughed, "If Liu Zhao was here, I would really like to ask him at this moment how he chose Gu Jiu. A boudoir girl who has only been married for a year or two, to have such knowledge, it is true. I was surprised. Or she really has something unique.

Uncle, you have talked with Gu Jiu for so long, what kind of person do you think Gu Jiu is? "

The Shaofu family was surprised that Liu Zhao actually went to the Beirong Royal Court, and was questioned by the emperor immediately.

He hurriedly restrained his mind, bowed and said, "Qi, Your Majesty, Wei Chen's impression of Gu Jiu is that she is smart and open. ."

"Oh? Then I really want to test and teach her personally. Come on, invite Gu Jiu into the palace, and say that I have something to ask her."

Chen Jianzheng bowed to take orders.

The Shaofu family made sweat on his forehead, worried that he had harmed Gu Jiu, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The emperor waved his hand, motioning him to calm down, "Uncle, please don't tell me about Liu Zhao's whereabouts. This matter is currently kept secret."

The Shaofu family decree hurriedly said yes, "Wei Chen must keep his mouth shut and never reveal a word."

"So good!"

The two rulers and ministers continued to chat about the Shaofu lending.

Chen Dachang arranged for Chang Shi Shen to go to the palace to invite Gu Jiu into the palace.

He stood under the eaves and was not in a hurry to return to the main hall to wait for orders.

He looked up at the sky, it was a sunny day again.

A small yellow clan quietly came to him, "Qi report to godfather, Concubine Li De sent someone to ask Your Majesty if he flipped the sign today? Where are you going to rest at night?"

A few days ago, Li Zhaoyi was finally promoted to Concubine Li De. In the palace, the three concubines had returned to their former position.

Chen Dachang sneered, "How much money did you receive from Concubine Li De to help her question?"

"Godfather forgive me.

"

Xiao Huangmen knelt on the ground, slap after slap, and slapped his face fiercely.

Chen Dachang snorted, "Go down and take the punishment yourself, it's not an example."

"Many thanks to my godfather for his mercy, my son will never dare again, and his son will go down and receive the punishment."

"Go! In the future, if Concubine Li sends someone to ask anything, just ignore it."

"My son understands."

Xiao Huangmen bowed and retreated.

Chen Dachang sneered, everyone went crazy.

How old is the little prince, can Concubine Li De be so impatient?

Recently, King Ning and King Zhao both sent beauties to the palace. Now it seems that it is time to let the beauties sent by King Ning serve the bed and share the favor of Concubine Li De and Jiang Shuyi.

...

Gu Jiu returned to the palace, and before she had time to rest, the concierge reported that the palace had sent someone to call her into the palace.

Gu Jiu was surprised.

"Nothing will happen, right?" Qingmei was worried.

The concierge added: "The people from the palace will be drinking tea in the tourmaline pavilion, and the lord will greet him in person. The lord will ask the eldest lady to go there immediately, go early and return early."

Gu Jiu hurriedly asked, "Who is the person from the palace?"

"Reporting to the madam, the person who came is Changshi Shen."

Gu Jiu nodded, Shen Changshi knew that, sitting in a high position at a young age, he was quite respected by the emperor.

She also knew that Shen Changshi and Hu's natal family were from the same town, and the two sides had been communicating in private.

Chang Shi Shen came in person, which means that the person who summoned her was the emperor?

Why did the Son of Heaven summon her?

She was uneasy, and she didn't dare to neglect the celebrity beside the emperor. After she was dressed properly, she hurried to the tourmaline pavilion.

Just outside the door, I heard King Ning laughing loudly from an unfamiliar voice. It seemed that the two of them were having a good time talking.

After passing through, Gu Jiu approached the flower hall.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, this is Chang Shi Shen."

"I have seen Changshi Shen."

"Mrs. Zhao is very polite. Since the people are here, let's go to the palace with our family. Your Majesty is impatient to wait for people."

When Gu Jiu heard this, she was startled, and asked in astonishment, "Is His Majesty summoned?"

Chang Shi Shen looked at Gu Jiu with a half-smile, "Of course, His Majesty summoned him. Madam Zhao, let's go."

Gu Jiu looked at King Ning.

King Ning waved his hand at her solemnly.

Gu Jiu knew in his heart that what King Ning meant was to tell her to be cautious in her words and deeds, say less and make fewer mistakes. In front of the emperor, don't talk nonsense.

With an uneasy heart in his heart, Gu Jiu followed Shen Changshi out of the palace and into the palace.

All the way to Xingqing Palace, I didn't stop on the way and kept rushing.

After a notification, she was invited into the main hall.

Seeing the Shaofu family order sitting on the side, Gu Jiu suddenly realized that he finally knew why he was called to the palace for questioning.

"My granddaughter-in-law sees His Majesty, His Majesty is blessed with longevity and good health."

"Free gift!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Jiu bowed his head slightly and stood in the center of the hall, waiting for the emperor to inquire.

The emperor asked straight to the point: "Tell me what you think about the loan from Shaofu."

Gu Jiu took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and tried his best to appear calm, "My grandson thinks that money is the most important weapon of the country, and the world is crazy about it. It should be in the hands of the imperial court like salt and iron.

The matter of borrowing, up to the imperial court, down to the rising of the common people, is unavoidable. This matter is related to the livelihood of the people, and how can it be manipulated by private banks at will.

Private banks are only responsible for lending and collecting money. The monthly interest is three or four cents, and the profits are rolled over. Obviously, they want to kill the common people.

When the common people went bankrupt and became refugees, did private banks ever give out a cent and a cent to relieve the disaster and relieve the worries of the imperial court? When the common people went bankrupt and went up to the mountains and fell to the grass to become bandits, did the private banks ever take responsibility?

They only care about making money, and they use everything to make money. They earn all the money in the hands of the people in the world, but they sit back and watch the people in the world have a hard time.

Said they make money from the common people, in the final analysis, they are stealing money from the imperial court and from your majesty.

The moment they forced the taxpayers into refugees, they were fighting against the imperial court and His Majesty. So grandson-in-law thought that the young mansion must come forward and kill the private money houses in the world to benefit the common people. Let the people all over the world know that the court has always cared about the people, and His Majesty has always cared about the people's livelihood. "

The Shaofu Family Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Gu Jiu was very capable of fooling around.

The emperor smiled. Obviously, Gu Jiu's remarks spoke to the emperor's heart, and the emperor was very satisfied.

The emperor said: "You should let the civil and military officials listen to what you said. You and all the women in the house are more knowledgeable than those courtiers, and they should be ashamed."

"Your Majesty praised me, my grandson-in-law was just talking about her own thoughts, and she didn't dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with the courtiers."

The Emperor walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, "It is true that the private banks should be rectified severely, and the prestige of the world's private banks should be smashed. This matter cannot be interfered with by the Sixth Division of the Imperial Court. This matter will be handed over to the Shaofu."

The commander of the Shaofu family bowed slightly, "Please instruct Your Majesty."

"Starting from the capital, I want to kill one to set an example, I want the world's loan sharks to know that they dare to harm my people, and I want his whole family to be buried with him."

The Shaofu Family Ling shivered, both nervous and excited. It has been a long time since Shaofu did such a big scene. It was an exciting moment.

The emperor said again: "The specific regulations will be handled in accordance with the previously discussed rules. I hope that my uncle will be dedicated to the public and contribute to the Liu family."

"Weichen will never fail His Majesty's expectations." The Shaofu family commander said loudly.

What a good thing to kill a private bank. Of course, he wants to do it in a big way, and do it ruthlessly. No one would ever want to take away this rare opportunity from him, let alone take power away from him.

The Shaofu family decree was almost sixty years old, and his face flushed with excitement. He looked at Gu Jiu and was very grateful.

Gu Jiu Waterfall was sweating, she just wanted to fool the Shaofu family to lend her money, so she would arrogantly throw out the Shaofu participation in the loan market, involving the topic of people's livelihood and society.

She thought that it would be fine if she heard the Shaofu family order, and even if she really wanted to do it, it might be a petty fight.

Unexpectedly, the efficiency of the Shaofu family order is extremely high. As soon as she left her forefoot, the Shaofu family order ran to the palace to facilitate this matter.

And the emperor agreed to this proposal without the court's discussion.

This efficiency shocked Gu Jiu, who had passed through, alive.

This work efficiency is too fast, faster than the efficiency of later generations.

The Son of Heaven decides with one word, without having to go through court discussions at all. Directly use commercial means to deal with private banks.

Since it is a commercial method, of course, there is no need to go through the court.

In fact, the emperor himself knows that there is no way to discuss this matter. The proposal was 100% opposed.

As Gu Jiu had guessed, the backers behind the major banks were the civil and military officials in the court and the royal family.

Cutting off people's money is like killing one's parents.

How can I ask, the emperor has made it clear that he wants to take food from everyone's mouth, can the civil and military officials and the royal family agree?

Certainly not!

In this case, the court discussion is meaningless. It is more realistic to directly let the Shaofu use commercial means to suppress private banks.

As for why the Shaofu Family Order was so active in promoting this matter, of course, it was for money, but also for power.

The House Order of the Shaofu is, to put it bluntly, the great butler of the Son of Heaven. For the emperor's housekeeper, but also for the emperor to increase income and reduce expenditure.

Don't let such a good opportunity to make money, he is not stupid.

Can he give up such a good opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor? Of course not!

And he can also take this opportunity to seize power. Once the Shaofu lending department is established, the power in his hands will increase exponentially.

It's a good thing to get a name and get power again, can he do it without being more active?

So he was grateful to Gu Jiu for opening a window for him, allowing him to open a new peak in his career at the age of nearly sixty.

As long as this matter goes well, he can at least serve another ten years in the position of the Shaofu Family Order.

Even if the new emperor ascends the throne, he will not be easily replaced.

Gu Jiu thought that if she had nothing to do with herself, she would soon be able to leave the palace and return to the palace.

Unexpectedly, the emperor changed his voice and asked her a question.

"With your knowledge, which prince do you think is worthy of being a prince?"

When Gu Jiu heard this, he immediately fell into a ditch.

Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven, I have no injustice with you in the past and no enmity in recent days, why do you give me a proposition.

If the answer to this question is not good, she is really likely to die.

To be worthy of being a king is not to ask who is qualified to be the next emperor.

She said that Liu Zhao was qualified to be the emperor, could he do it?

Of course not!

Not only can it not work, it will kill you.

Without patronizing Jiu's heart, there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past, and even the Shaofu family decree was full of cold sweats.

This is a deadly question.

Gu Jiu calmed down and said with a terrified expression: "A housewife in the grandson-in-law's district. She worries about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea every day, and she never thinks about family and country affairs."

"Then think about it now, no matter what you say, I forgive you."

Gu Jiu broke out in cold sweat, "But grandson-in-law can't think of it. Grandson-in-law doesn't understand military affairs, nor is he familiar with the kings and uncles, so I really can't tell. Please forgive me!"

She bowed down and pleaded guilty, being very honest at this moment.

It was the most honest moment in her life.

But the emperor would not let her go easily.

The Son of Heaven pointed at her, "You are dishonest. The Shaofu family order said you were magnanimous, but in my eyes, I did not see magnanimity, I only saw perfunctory."

Gu Jiu smiled bitterly, he was going to die!

The commander of the Shaofu family secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He did not expect that the words he praised Gu Jiu would actually bring about such tragic events for Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu took a deep breath and said boldly, "In front of Your Majesty, please forgive my granddaughter-in-law for not being able to be magnanimous."

The Son of Heaven was silent.

The air in the hall seemed to be stagnant, so quiet that you could hear your own breathing.

The commander of the Shaofu family was even more nervous than Gu Jiu, and the cold sweat dripped down and dripped onto the floor, soaking wet.

Chen Dachang lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, no one could see what he was thinking.

Gu Jiu calmed down instead.

Anyway, this is already the case, and it is useless to be afraid, so there is no need to be afraid.

"Ha ha……"

Just when the Shaofu family was about to suffocate and pass out, the emperor suddenly laughed out loud.

This burst of laughter was like a switch, and the air in the hall began to flow normally again. Everyone can breathe normally and is not afraid of suffocation.

The Son of Heaven pointed at Gu Jiu, "You are very bold. Over the years, few people have dared to speak like this in front of me. But I will not let you go today, I must listen to your truth."

Gu Jiu's face was lifeless.

are you crazy!

Sure enough, people who have been emperors for a long time are very perverted.

Absolutely cannot be guessed by common sense.

Because they don't have the thinking of ordinary people at all. Their thinking, thinking, all are perverted.

Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty wants to hear the truth, grandson-in-law can only tell the truth. The truth is, grandson-in-law can't choose a single one."

"Why?"

"Because grandson-in-law doesn't know who is good and who is bad, and there is no test result for granddaughter-in-law to refer to."

"Haha... You can't think of it, you actually said something like the test results."

Gu Jiu smiled awkwardly.

"I'll ask you again, if you want to organize an exam for the princes, from which aspects should you give the exam questions."

Gu Jiu Waterfall sweats!

There is a saying in my heart that MMP does not know whether to say it or not.

She could only bite the bullet and say: "If there is such an exam, Sun-in-law thinks that it should be calculated from military strategy, military purpose, military money and food, how to improve the sense of honor of soldiers, tax population, criminal name and law, selection of talents, economic and people's livelihood, How to develop the economy, increase business taxes, reduce agricultural taxes, and lighten the burden on farmers.”

Silence.

No one spoke.

The emperor's eyes flashed with unidentified light, and he stared at Gu Jiu stubbornly.

The Shaofu Family Order broke out in cold sweat again, and was ten times more nervous than Gu Jiu.

For the first time, Chen Dachang looked directly at Gu Jiu, thinking that Mrs. Zhao really dared to say it. His Majesty asked her casually, is she serious?

The emperor laughed again, easing the tense atmosphere in the hall.

"The scope of your question is too broad. In my opinion, no prince can answer them all."

Gu Jiu bowed and said, "What Your Majesty said is true. Sun-in-law is stupid and nonsense. Please forgive me."

As a result, the emperor's voice changed, "But these questions are all the princes should know. However, I estimate that none of my stupid sons have seriously thought about these questions. Gu Jiu, do you have answers to these questions you raised? "

Gu Jiu shook his head again and again, determined not to take matters into his own hands. It's so torturous.

"My daughter-in-law just said it casually. My daughter-in-law is stupid and can't answer any of these questions."

"You are perfunctory me again, I see it."

Gu Jiu was full of cold sweat, "My grandson doesn't dare to perfunctory your majesty, my grandson tells the truth."

The emperor shook his head, "Just because you can propose that the Shaofu will hold the money, suppress private private loans, and give life to the common people; say, money, the most important weapon of the country, I will know that you have ink in your stomach."

Gu Jiu became nervous.

The Emperor stared at her, "It's a pity that Liu Zhao is not here. If Liu Zhao was here, I would definitely whip him severely."

Gu Jiu was stunned, the conversation changed too fast and couldn't keep up with the rhythm. What does this have to do with Liu Zhao?

"You have such an idea of ​​benefiting the country and the people. I don't believe that Liu Zhao doesn't know. Since he knows, he has never mentioned a word. It can be seen that his heart is hidden and impure."

Gu Jiu took a deep breath, "Young Master, he doesn't know what grandson-in-law is thinking."

"Absurd! Do you really think I can fool you at will? You are husband and wife, sharing the same bed, can he not know what you think?"

Gu Jiu: MMP, you are the emperor and your boss, whatever you say is right, that's all right.
