Chapter 1756： Raiders

A few days later, Zhou Shuren stayed in the early court, along with several ministers.

The emperor pointed to the hanging map, "This section of the rebuilt river is still one-third unfinished."

He was very dissatisfied with the progress of last year, but there was nothing he could do. Last year, there was a lot of heavy snow in the south.

Zhou Shuren's heart bleeds every time he looks at it, not only because it costs money, but also because of too many delays.

The emperor continued: "It must be completed by the end of May this year."

Zhou Shuren has no objection, the money has long been prepared for the important affairs of the people.

The other ministers looked at each other, and the minister of industry hesitated to say, "Your Majesty, one-third of the work is not small."

The emperor, "That has to be done too."

He was really afraid of the flood, and in his heart he flogged the officials who had embezzled money from the river dam again.

The Minister of Works shut up, he really needs manpower everywhere and has a headache.

Then several other important matters were discussed, and the ministers withdrew one after another.

Zhou Shuren and Lord Gong walked together, and Lord Gong said, "I heard that the youngest son of Lord Hou is returning to his hometown to test for talents?"

Zhou Shuren, "You are very concerned about me."

Lord Gong smiled, "My youngest son is also taking the exam this year."

Zhou Shuren really didn't know, "I remember your youngest son is twenty-two?"

Master Gong's tone was helpless and indulgent, "This child's lifeblood of the old lady, the old lady will protect it if she is tired of reading, and she will be able to take the exam tomorrow morning, and it has been delayed until now."

Zhou Shuren, "Your eldest son?"

"The eldest son of the sixteenth-examined scholar must be held responsible."

Zhou Shuren snorted, so the younger son spoiled the grown up, "You tell me this?"

Master Gong said that he wanted to chat with you to get closer. Talking about children is the lifeblood of the old son, "Just a chat."

As a result, the two of them were not very skilled in their conversations, and Lord Gong didn't get to the point every time.

Zhou Shuren got into the carriage with something in his heart, recalling how early this morning, the emperor was very impatient with the diehards, especially with Mr. Luo, who did not give Mr. Luo any face today.

Zhou Shuren pointed with his fingertips, he felt that the emperor wanted to clean up a few diehards, and the Luo family bore the brunt.

Xiao Liujia Village, the small courtyard where Changzhi lived, he was sitting in the courtyard flipping through the newspapers, far away from the capital newspapers, and the newspapers he was reading were from the last issue.

Liu Mingsheng pushed open the door and came in, "Sir."

Changzhi put down the newspaper, "Is it registered?"

Liu Mingsheng couldn't hold back his joy, "I've signed up, thank you for your help, sir. Your help is unforgettable."

Changzhi motioned to sit down, and the servant came up with a teapot, "Have a cup of hot tea."

Liu Mingsheng, "This time I will definitely succeed next time."

Changzhi didn't mention that Liu Mingsheng's grades were replaced. He stayed here and checked everything that should be checked. Why Liu Mingsheng's later references were put on the county exam, all because he couldn't bribe the officials of the government exam, and the officials of the city were transferred a few years ago. pass.

Therefore, Liu Mingsheng has a good luck. As long as he solves the county magistrate, Liu Mingsheng can successfully take the exam.

Changzhi said: "I have been here for a few days, and I should continue to study abroad."

Liu Mingsheng was very reluctant to give up. In the past few days, he has asked to teach the text. He has learned too much content that the college can not teach him, but he also knows that there is no banquet that will not leave. "I wish you a smooth journey, Mr."

"Okay, wait for me to come back and get the four books."

Liu Mingsheng stayed and asked some questions he didn't understand, thanked him again and left.

The servant came over, "Sir, the county magistrate will be imprisoned here in three days."

Changzhi hummed, "Let's leave quickly, don't be found out."

The servant said: "Liu Mingsheng met you, he met a noble."

Changzhi smiled, "This is also fate. If I didn't hear his story, I wouldn't stay for so long."

The little servant got up and went to pack his luggage. His steps were brisk, and he was finally leaving the village. In recent days, all kinds of inquiries have been annoying.

The next day, Liu Mingsheng received the package, and the woman said, "The gentleman who rented the yard left it for you, and he also left a sentence, I hope you have a smooth journey."

Liu Mingsheng was disappointed in his heart, thanked the woman, and went back to open the package. There was a set of the four treasures of the study, and a box. The box contained twenty taels of silver. Counting the silver for writing the four books in silent, it was enough for him to test Qiu Wei.

Liu Mingsheng was grateful, laughing and crying, laughing at being appreciated, crying and persevering to get a chance.

In the palace, Zhou Shuren saw the news about Changzhi, and Changzhi's words and deeds were recorded, and the focus was on Changzhi's questions.

Zhou Shuren, "!!"

The emperor pointed to the news reported, "This kid is really bold."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

This kid did it on purpose, isn't this a test of the emperor's attitude?

The emperor said again: "He hasn't arrived in Chuanzhou, so he will take care of the incident first."

Zhou Shuren continued to read the news, "The emperor should be happy."

Changzhi found a good seedling, and the hardships of these years did not overwhelm his will, and he also had his own ideas. Liu Mingsheng was not bad.

The emperor was half-smiling, "It's better for Changzhi to stay in the Hanlin Academy when he comes back."

Zhou Shuren, "Changzhi will not help in the future."

The fourth child has a sense of measure in his heart. He knows that he can be kind once, but he can't be kind all the time. This is not what the emperor wants to see, and it is not good for Zhouhou Mansion.

The emperor hummed, Zhou Changzhi was his special soldier, he couldn't use it all the time, but he was able to surprise him. He was still satisfied with Zhou Changzhi.

The emperor motioned Eunuch Zhang to set the chessboard, and when he could play chess, the emperor suddenly said, "I have already hinted that Lord Luo is going to work."

Zhou Shuren moved in his heart, "Something was beyond the minister's expectations."

He could sense the emperor's thoughts, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so decisive.

The emperor took the first step, placed the pieces and continued: "This is the last face I have left for him."

Zhou Shuren, "The Duke's Mansion and the Luo Family are related by marriage."

The emperor's tone was sarcastic, "Have the Luo family been helped by the marriage for so long?"

Zhou Shuren was silent. If the Luo family had helped, the Yongan government wouldn't have lost so much face last time.

The emperor said quietly: "So what is the use of keeping the in-laws like this if they don't keep their promises?"

Zhou Shuren, "You all know that."

The emperor sneered, "I didn't stop the two from marrying, what do you think?"

I thought that the Luo family would be able to contribute a little bit, and they would solve it together in the future, but they underestimated the shamelessness of the Luo family, and they didn't do anything for the money from the Duke's Government. It's really shameless!

Zhou Shuren knew that the Luo family's inaction, the emperor didn't want to endure it any longer, "There is a big change at the beginning of the year, will it be bad?"

The emperor, "That's why I hinted that he is going to work. I can give the Luo family half a year if he is honest. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhou Shuren clicked his tongue twice. He didn't want to say good things to the Luo family. He was also very tired of the Luo family.

The emperor continued: "The position of the Luo family's official will be reserved."

Zhou Shuren thought about it for a while and smiled. The emperor moved the position reserved for Wang Chi in the future, and at the same time thought ironically, whether Lord Luo left or not would have no effect on the court!
