Zhao Luan hurriedly said, "this time when I went back, I heard a news that my father had met a big trouble with the big general in his previous account
Then Zhao Luan began to talk.
It turned out that Meng Ti was also in his fifties. After Zhao Luan's father died, Meng Ti was expelled from the army by villains and finally became an ordinary man.
But I didn't expect that Meng Ti was not spared by his former political enemies. Not long ago, someone falsely accused Meng Ti of corruption in the army, so he was put in prison.
Meng ti's family naturally wouldn't sit and watch Meng Ti beheaded, so they asked the queen Zhao Luan for help.
Zhao Luan learned the news and told Wang Zhong at the first time.
"Emperor, Meng ti is loyal to the emperor. He is honest, good at art of war, and has made countless military achievements. He is dead. I am afraid that the old subordinates will be cold hearted. Please intervene in this case......"
"How long will this case be heard?" Wang Zhong asked.
"Half a month later, the case was brought to trial by Lu Pingying, the governor."
"Well, I know."
Wang Zhong nodded approvingly, and Zhao Luan was able to save Meng Ti, indicating his absolute trust in Meng ti.
Now he just doesn't have enough military power. If he can have a few senior generals to help, it's not enough to be afraid of just a few rogue ministers and thieves at that time.
…………………………
The next day, the emperor was assassinated and seriously injured.
Lu Fu!
Lu Zhongbo went to the early Dynasty today, but he came back after learning the news of the emperor's assassination.
Although it is said that the emperor was injured, Lu Zhongbo was not happy at all.
Because the assassin was his man, but the emperor was only injured and didn't die!
Fortunately, although the assassin was his man, the assassin did not know that it was he who sent her out.
And these assassins are all dead men. For the time being, he doesn't have to worry about anything.
"Father."
A young man came in panic.
"What's the matter with my child?"
"Just now, people from the Ministry of punishment suddenly surrounded the Shen family. It is said that yesterday, an assassin stabbed the emperor. The assassin confessed that it was the instructions of the Shen family. The people of the Shen family had a grudge against Shen Anshi, so they assassinated the emperor
Lu Zhongbo pinched his fist, but others didn't know it. As soon as he heard this, he knew that someone had ruined the Shen family.
Because the assassin is his man.
But he can't jump out and object.
Lu Zhongbo sat down helplessly: "we may all underestimate the emperor. Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager is under house arrest, otherwise it will make him feel bad. What should we do next?"
"Father, the emperor has made it clear that he wants to deal with us. Now he is pulling out our people step by step. Otherwise, we will force the palace
"No!"
Lu Zhongbo immediately rejected the proposal: "although I have many helpers in the court, I have not fully mastered military power, especially the imperial guards and the defenders in the city. If we force the palace, our whole family will die up and down!"
In the past, the emperor only knew how to play, so he didn't care about their corruption and pervertion of the law.
However, the reason why Lu Zhongbo has never dared to seek power and usurp the throne is that military power is not in his hands.
"By the way, I know what to do."
Lu Zhongbo's eyes lit up: "the emperor was injured, so he sent an imperial doctor in."
"Father, do you mean to let the royal doctor......"
"Boy, you are too stupid. You can see through this kind of thing without telling it......"
"I understand!"
Both father and son laughed a few times.
………………………………
In the palace, Zhang Dongliang, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of punishment, was reporting the property of the Shen family to Wang Chong.
Wang Zhong knew that Shen An had committed a lot of corruption, but after listening to the report, he knew that it was more than a lot. There were more than three million silver coins alone.
"Well, Zhang Aiqing, you did a good job." Wang Zhong nodded with satisfaction. With this silver, he could solve his urgent need.
"Emperor, Shen family, don't know how to deal with it?"
It's too cheap for them to cut it like this.
Wang Chong took a few steps, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
He can open a Ji Hospital!
Shen An has dozens of wives and concubines, plus Shen An has more than a dozen daughters. All of them are sold to Ji Hospital at no cost to him. These people can continue to earn money for him.
It has to be said that after becoming the king of a country, Wang Zhong never had such a strong demand for silver.
Of course, the world will certainly speak when this matter is spread out, but it doesn't matter. Wang Zhong asked them to volunteer.
Shen An's crime now is to copy his family. Not only that, the whole family will be interrogated and beheaded.
So Wang Zhong gave them a chance to live. If they wanted to live, they went to work in the Ji courtyard of zhenkai.
what? If you don't want to do it, go to hell!
As for men, Wang Zhong wants to be good.
When the situation is stabilized and there is silver, he will build guns.
So many guns need a lot of iron.
If these men want to live, then go to mine for me. After ten years, I will let them go.
what? Don't want to mine, go to hell!
So Wang Zhong told Zhang Dongliang his plan.
Zhang Dongliang is upright and young, probably in his thirties. Judging from his appearance, he is a righteous scholar.
Therefore, after listening to Wang Zhong's words, he was stunned directly.
Use prisoners to make money for the royal family?
Free labor?
I'll go. Only the emperor can think of such a thing, right?
"Emperor, will people in the world say no behind their backs by doing so?" Zhang Dongliang is an honest man. He doesn't know how to beat around the bush or flatter the emperor. He directly raised his own questions.
Wang Zhong actually likes this kind of person. He is most annoyed by people who flatter all day.
Although Zhang Dongliang's words are not pleasant to hear, it is difficult to put forward constructive suggestions.
"If people all over the world want to say that I'm not right, let them say it. Aiqing, do you think that if I don't do such a thing, people all over the world won't say it? Besides, I also give life to the Shen family, but I won't keep them for nothing. If you want to live, you have to add bricks and tiles to the country. Do you understand?"
Zhang Dongliang bowed his head: "Wei Chen understands."
"Good, go down."
After dealing with this matter, he Taigao suddenly walked in.
"My Lord, the royal doctor huangqiren is here."
"Hmm? I didn't remember to ask the imperial doctor to come here. What did he come here for?"
After Wang Chong announced that he was injured, he had told the outside world that he had been seen by a famous doctor and had not summoned the royal doctor, so Wang Chong was very strange.
"Doctor Huang said he was worried about the emperor's body, so he came."
With that, he Taigao said anxiously, "my Lord, if you don't let doctor Huang inspect this time, it's unreasonable, it will inevitably make the outside world suspicious, but if you let him in, what if something is wrong?"
"What should I do? Hehe, let him check for me. I want to see what flowers he can check."
He Taigao didn't know how Wang Chong responded, but seeing Wang Chong's confident appearance, he didn't dare to neglect it, nodded and went out, and soon shouted, "biography, royal doctor Huang Qiren, audience............."
Wang Zhong sat on the Dragon chair, and his mental state did not look very good.
"Wei Chen Huang Qiren, see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
"Doctor Huang, it's really hard for you, but I showed it to a famous doctor last night. You don't have to worry." Wang Zhong said lightly, "however, since you are here, let me have a look."
Huang Qiren was still thinking about what to say to let Wang Chong see a doctor for him. Unexpectedly, Wang Chong promised himself.
He was so happy that he walked over and began to diagnose Wang Chong.
This time, Huang Qiren frowned deeper and deeper.
The emperor seems to be in good health.
"Doctor Huang, how is my injury?"
"Emperor, where is your injury?"
"Heart!"
Wang pointed again to his heart.
"No wonder, no wonder, emperor, you are bleeding in your heart and mouth, afraid of hurting your meridians."
"Oh, how can doctor Huang treat me?"
"Wei Chen goes down immediately and decocts medicine for the emperor. The emperor only needs to take it for five days, and it will surely cure the disease."
"Trouble."
"Wei Chen leaves."
After Huang Qiren left, Wang Zhong sneered. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhongbo not only sent assassins, but also the imperial doctor was controlled by him.
It's hard for me not to get rid of this thief!
In fact, just now Wang Chong can directly open his stomach, point at Huang Qiren and scold: I'm not hurt.
But that must be a surprise.
Didn't Huang Qiren say that he had to take the medicine for five days to get rid of the disease? Then wait for him for five days.
For Wang Zhong, time is money now. He needs obscene development.
It's enough that LV Zhongbo won't deal with him in these five days.
………………
Late at night, Wang Chong went to inspect the clothing factory.
Today's harem is built by Wang Chong, which is airtight, and trusted people handle it in all directions.
Thanks to empresses Zhao Luan and Feng Chengcheng.
Feng Chengcheng, in particular, was really scheming, and wrote down all the palace maids and eunuchs who were not loyal to the emperor in the past.
These people Wang Zhong didn't kill. After all, it's time to hire people. How can they kill people at any time? That's too bloody.
Now these people are wealth to Wang Zhong, which can create great benefits for him.
Therefore, these people were thrown into the clothing factory by Wang Chong, and the whole wall of the cold palace was raised. No one was allowed to go out, and food and accommodation were inside.
Now the first batch of clothes, cotton and other raw materials have been transported in, and Wang Zhong has arranged people in the palace to start making cotton clothes.
The cotton padded clothes he made don't have high requirements for appearance. Anyway, they are black, gray and white.
But it must be strong.
Wang Chongxi arranged the work of the people in the harem in no detail. Several concubines served as the team leader of the workshop, and the queen Zhaoluan was appointed as the director of the workshop.
And in order not to let people lazy, Wang Chong also set up a reward and punishment mechanism.
You can record the work points for the work you do. The more work points you get, you can exchange the work points for things you like to eat, clothes you like to wear, rouge and so on.
You can even exchange your work points for a few days of rest.
This is also Wang Zhong's consideration of humanization. After all, not everyone in the harem has committed a capital crime. It is necessary to let the people who work feel hope.
Here is a piece of news about the construction of the clothing factory. Wang Chong called a few blacksmiths to make muskets. It's time to put it on the agenda!
