Chapter 1368： psychological suggestion

In a blink of an eye, the prince and his party finally returned to the capital, and the journey back was smoother than when they left, saving a few days.

Zhou Shuren looked at the city gate, "Finally back."

This journey took some time in Zhangzhou, and it took more than half a month to go back and forth, and it was about to be a new year.

The carriages entered the city, and the streets of the capital were very lively, with lanterns and colorful lights everywhere to prepare for the New Year, and people came and went on the streets.

Zhou Shuren wanted to go home first, but unfortunately it was impossible. The emperor was still waiting in the palace, so he could only enter the palace with the prince's carriage.

When he arrived in the palace, the Emperor Taishang was also there. The emperor looked at his eldest son who had grown a lot, and his eyes were full of relief. If he did not become the king of the city, he just wanted to see with his own eyes and listen to the real voice with his ears.

The emperor hugged his son and patted his back, "Okay, okay."

The prince's face couldn't help blushing, the father praised him, um, the father also missed him.

The Emperor Taishang waved his hand and gestured for the prince to come over, "Well, it's a lot stronger to go out."

The prince smiled, "The grandson is indeed strong."

The emperor looked away from the prince and said, "The two adults have worked hard all the way."

Zhou Shuren wanted to say, does hard work pay for hard work, but he said, "I don't have to work hard."

Master Yan was even more careful when facing the emperor. He just accepted the beating, "It's not hard work."

The emperor had a smile on his face, but his eyes swept across the smile of Lord Yan, and he continued: "This year is approaching, many tributes have been paid from all over the country, and the fruits of the capital are precious. I have already arranged it, and the two adults will leave the palace soon You can take it home."

Zhou Shuren is very happy this time, tributes, there are many tributes from this dynasty that fool people and pick the rest, because they dare not, they are the best, although ancient insurance technology is not as good as modern, don't underestimate the ancients , Ordinary people have no money to support it.

The tribute fruits sent to the palace in winter are rare in the market!

Zhou Shuren secretly thought, the emperor should not be too stingy and only give one box.

The emperor has nothing to talk about today. He really misses his son. The eldest son has been with him all the time. These days, even if the other sons come here often, the feeling is different. He wants to wait for his son to have dinner with the queen.

The emperor said: "The two adults have been away from home for many days, so I won't keep two more adults."

Lord Yan, "I retire."

Just as Zhou Shuren was about to follow, the Emperor Taishang said, "I haven't seen Shuren for a long time, it's still early, and it's not too late for Shuren to play a few games of chess with me before returning to the mansion."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

Bah, he just wants to go home now, who wants to play chess with a bad old man.

Mr. Yan sighed in his heart that at this moment, he could more deeply feel the difference between the royal family and the Zhou family. As expected, they were related by blood. Thinking of this, Mr. Yan found that the entire capital was really related to the royal family. It seems that only the Rong family and the Zhou family are related. The Ning family is also considered a family, but the maiden family is a foreign relative, and the Rong family is a closer relative to the emperor.

Master Yan felt that he would have to be more careful with Master Zhou in the future, so he nodded to Master Zhou and followed his father-in-law out.

The emperor and the prince also left, and only the emperor and Zhou Shuren were left in the hall.

The Emperor Taishang motioned Zhou Shuren to sit down and waited for the chessboard to be set before he said, "What's interesting about going to Zhangzhou this time?"

Zhou Shuren held the chess piece, "You know better than this minister."

There are people around him every day, and there is nothing that the Emperor Taishang does not know.

The Emperor Taishang choked, and then his face turned black. He did know a lot, but the emperor who wanted to know the most didn't tell him, "I miss you every time I go out."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I also miss the emperor."

"Everywhere I go, I bring you gifts."

It's more straightforward, this time I understand what I mean.

Zhou Shuren's expression was a little subtle. He suddenly regretted buying a gift and came back. It turned out that the Emperor Taishang wanted his gift, and he would not have spent money if he knew earlier.

The Emperor Taishang observed Zhou Shuren and said, "I know that you miss me, where is the gift?"

Look at Zhou Shuren's pain in the flesh, hehe, I still regret buying it!

Zhou Shuren took a deep breath, "I didn't bring him into the palace."

"I'll send someone to fetch it."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

The Emperor Taishang didn't think much about playing chess, "What did you buy?"

Zhou Shuren replied dryly, "Specialty."

The Emperor Taishang likes to run southwards in recent years. Zhangzhou hasn't been there yet, so he feels his beard. Anyway, he can see it in a while.

The Emperor Taishang didn't bother about gifts anymore, he was in a very good mood, "After you leave, the grassland tribe will go to Beijing."

Zhou Shuren was vigilant in his heart. The Emperor Taishang had completely let go. He had never intervened in the emperor's decision-making over the years. Why did he tell him this today?

The Emperor Taishang didn't seem to notice Zhou Shuren's nervousness, "I won't talk about this with you, I'm talking to you about Linxi. These tribes have been ambitious in recent years, and they even want to ask to marry Linxi."

Zhou Shuren squeezed the chess piece harder, "Ha."

The Emperor Taishang smiled. This old guy is very protective of his calf. After he abdicated, it was difficult to communicate with the ministers of the previous dynasty, let alone see the ministers alone. The only one he could see was Zhou Shuren, "Your son has taught me a lesson."

Zhou Shuren looked sideways, "Have you taught me a lesson?"

The Supreme Emperor nodded, "Rong Chuan can't arrange it himself. If it's too obvious, it seems like we are stingy So I found your second son, that boy is not bad."

Where is the embassy, ​​poisoning, etc. are not allowed to appear, how many countries are watching, and now there are many countries visiting.

Zhou Shuren was curious, "What did Changyi do?"

The Emperor Taishang curled his lips. "On the first day, he changed all the supplies of the tribes in the grasslands, and the style was luxurious and in line with the preferences of each tribe. On the second day, he changed some chores in the embassy, ​​and on the third day, he changed the antiques."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "He is hinting step by step that the precious antiques of the grassland tribe can be seen everywhere in the capital, and exquisite supplies are also common? As for the change of handyman, he must have been trained."

The Emperor Taishang nodded, "Well, for this embassy, ​​the bottom of the box has been turned over. Of course, Rong Chuan is behind it."

Zhou Shuren was delighted, "The tribes have lost a lot of money these days!"

The Emperor Taishang curled his lips, "Yeah, it's better to let them suffer and not be able to tell, so they can only take the money out obediently."

He has been watching Zhou Changyi's actions for seven days, and the grassland tribes are unrestrained, so don't expect good temper, of course there are good ones, Zhou Changyi only picks up bad temper.

It's normal to get angry and drop things. He likes to drop things. It's normal to accidentally touch an antique shelf or damage something.

The Ministry of Rites wrote an excerpt and cried, and the antiques at the bottom of the box were gone.

The emperor's play was very good, "I treat you as distinguished guests and use the best in everything. You don't respect my intentions. I don't want you to pay for this batch of antiques, but only half of them."

The emperor scolded the various princes who wanted to interject several times, and finally finalized the compensation. When they lost something, they didn't know, the real antique was replaced by the trained handyman.
