Vol 2 Chapter 1126: Flattering

In autumn, Anxi Palace sent troops to the Western Regions.
Liu Yu led the soldiers and fought the first war in his life.
Seeing blood on the battlefield, the stump of the limb was broken.
The city was destroyed and the refugees fled.
The cruelty of the battlefield is fully revealed.
Liu Yu played steadily and moved forward slowly.
There is no impulse and passion for young people to be eager to show, but like a year-round veteran, stable.
Pei Meng was ready to personally charge and save people, but Liu Yu refused to give him a chance at all.
mmp, young, so steady.
Make him feel useless.
In the Western Regions, the beacon smokes everywhere, and the singing and dancing in the Great Zhou Dynasty rises.
As taxes are lowered, the people have more grain in their hands, and the number of births increases.
Some local officials wrote fus and praised their virtues, and openly slapped the emperor and the empress.
He was denounced as a flatterer by his colleagues in the officialdom.
Unexpectedly, when this gift came out, it was like opening the gate.
The flattering articles praising Liu Zhao as a virtuous emperor popped up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
The officials are not content to sing praises on the memorial.
They are more willing to sing praises in the newspapers, so that everyone in the world can learn about their talents and their determination to flatter the emperor.
Everyone in the officialdom has heard a rumor that Emperor Liu Zhao read the newspaper every day, which is already a habit.
The emperor may not be able to see the memorial of flattering himself.
But the emperor will not miss the flattering articles published in the newspaper.
what!
The official praised his wit!
This officer is really a clever ghost!
When your majesty sees the eulogizing articles published by the official in the newspaper, he will surely rejoice in his heart, and then he will be promoted.
In a blink of an eye, this official can reach the pinnacle of life, leave his wives away, marry a high school girl, hehehe...
There are many officials who have the same idea.
For a time, the pages of major newspapers in Beijing are hard to find.
Officials spend money to buy space and publish their own articles.
...
Liu Zhao looked upset.
Open a newspaper, and it's full of praiseworthy articles.
Turning to the next newspaper, I still chant articles.
More than a dozen newspapers, neat and uniform, can not see any valuable content at all.
He and Gu Jiu complained, "Do these people treat me as second fools? I thought that by writing two articles that I didn't know the so-called, I would be able to coax me to promote them happily and make them rich. Daydreaming."
"They're flattering you, aren't you happy?" Gu Jiu teased him.
Liu Zhao snorted, "Can you be happy for you? I want to see something new, but I can't find it after looking through the newspaper. This is unreasonable."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Let the Press Division deal with it, the atmosphere is really bad. It's enough to sing praises. It's so brazen, no wonder some old officials say that the atmosphere has been corrupted."
"That group of old men, in the morning today, pointed to my nose and scolded the monarch, saying that I was greedy for vanity, as if I asked the local officials to write articles and praise me. I died unjustly, and there is no place to redress."
Liu Zhao looked unhappy and aggrieved.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Okay, okay, we're not angry. Lin Shuping, don't rush to order the Newspaper Department to rectify the chaos in the newspaper industry. Local officials don't care about running local civil affairs, thinking about going the wrong way all day Only one article can be promoted and wealthy. Is your majesty really a fool?"
Lin Shuping looked at Emperor Liu Zhao and got permission, so he hurriedly arranged for people to go to the Newspaper Department to convey his will.
"I heard that some officials have spent a lot of money in order to buy a page. With this violent temper, I really want to take the opportunity to find out where the money comes from. "
Liu Zhao was furious and unhappy.
Gu Jiu comforted him: "Ruyang and the second child are coming back soon, don't start a big prison at this time."
Liu Zhao hummed twice, very upset.
Don't let him vent his anger, he is uncomfortable.
Gu Jiu laughed at him, "If you are someone else, you will probably be triumphant and secretly happy when you see someone writing an article to brag about yourself. When you get here, you don't look happy. Don't you like being flattered? I watched. The writing of these articles is quite good, worthy of being a scholar of jinx background, the rhetoric is gorgeous and beautiful, and there is something to say."
Liu Zhao pointed to his face, "Do you look at me like a person who admires vanity? Besides, a group of ill-intentioned people are flattering, why should I be happy. Unless the queen personally flattered me, I might reward me. A smiling face."
Gu Jiu gave him a white look, "I don't want to slap your flattery. Your tail is already so high. If you slap your flattering, don't you want to go up to the sky."
Liu Zhao was triumphant, and he looked like a large dog wagging its tail for praise.
"You also think that I am very powerful, right? I know you must be jealous of me in your heart. But you can rest assured that I don't care."
Gu Jiu laughed, she didn't want to complain.
Liu Zhao pestered her, insisting on her to speak.
Gu Jiu squeezed his ears, "Look at you with a thick skin, I have nothing to say."
Liu Zhao laughed, extremely proud, "For the sake of your willingness to bow down to the wind, I can't care about pinching your ears."
Pooh!
He has a thick face.
...
The Press Department was dispatched, and the major newspapers finally returned to normal.
Half a month later, a huge fleet of hundreds of large and small ships anchored at the Jiangnan port, attracting people in the city to watch.
They are all people who have seen the world. This season, there are fleets returning from both ends of the three days. Everyone is not surprised.
But like today, a fleet of hundreds of ships of different sizes is rare.
The last time such a large fleet was based on the old calendar decades ago.
Unexpectedly, the grand occasion will reappear in the lifetime.
Men, women and children, all flocked to the dock to see the wonder.
The fleet covered the sky, and the entire coastline was occupied by the fleet.
"It's so big!"
"Many boats!"
"How much cargo does this have to pull!"
"It is said that there are thousand-year golden nanmu on the ship!"
"Get rich!"
"There are hundreds of years of red sandalwood."
"Whose fleet is this? The pattern on the flag seems to be the first time I have seen it."
"I haven't heard of any firm in the city capable of forming such a large fleet."
"Could it be an upstart?"
"It should be a mine owner who has made a fortune overseas."
"possible!"
The people talked a lot, wondering who is the owner of this fleet?
Not only the people are curious, but the colleagues, customs, and local yamen are all curious.
Until Father Rong Xinrong crossed the crowd and set foot on the largest sea-going ship, many people suddenly realized.
"That is the fleet formed by Princess Ruyang and Her Royal Highness the Second Prince!"
"Is that the Princess Ruyang who doesn't want to be prosperous and wealthy, but wants to go to sea to endure hardship?"
"Apart from her, is there a second Ruyang princess in this world?"
"incredible!"
Everyone looked strange.
They wondered why Princess Ruyang would abandon the noble life in Beijing, and a girl's family went overseas, working like a man.
However, compared to the thoughts of Princess Ruyang, everyone is more curious about the appearance of Princess Ruyang, and wonder what the royal princess looks like.
"The royal princess should look very beautiful."
"That's not necessarily true. People who have gone overseas are all darkened, and they have never seen a good-looking one."
"This is true!"
"The royal princess has a dark face, how do you see people?"
Princess Ruyang, who was enthusiastically discussed by the crowd, was standing on the deck with the second prince Liu Heng, looking at the coastline.
"came back!"
"Finally home!"
The brother and sister smiled at each other.
Princess Ruyang has grown taller, but she did not hold a dark face.
Her complexion is neither a pampered fair, nor a pitch black that is exposed to the sun every day, but a wheatish color in between.
The eyebrows are full of heroic spirit, dressed in men's clothing, and with a tall figure, he glanced suddenly and mistakenly thought it was a handsome boy.
She has a thick cocoon on her hand, which is obtained through martial arts practice all year round.
She looked forward to the brilliance, with stars twinkling in her eyes.
Standing there, heroic and cold temperament. The whole figure is like a sharp sword out of its sheath, drinking blood at any time.
Looking at the second prince Liu Heng, he was tall, dark, mature and stable in appearance, but vaguely fierce and murderous.
His temperament is very contradictory.
The whole body's extravagance was again gloomy.
Between Gu and Pan, the sharp eyes seemed to penetrate people's hearts.
Father Rong Xin Rong brought people to the boat.
"The old slave pays homage to the two majesty. Your majesty and the empress are looking forward to the return of the two majesty every day. As soon as the old slave gets the news, he sends a messenger to send the news to the capital quickly."
"The messenger has set off?" asked the second prince Liu Heng.
"Exactly!"
"Oh! I wanted to ask the messenger to bring two gadgets to the father, the queen and the queen. Now that the messenger has already set off, then forget it."
Rong Xin was sweating coldly.
The second prince Liu Heng's aura was too high, and a look in his eyes was enough to scare people.
This is how many people have been killed overseas, and how hard their hearts can be to cultivate such a powerful aura.
"Sister, let's get off the boat!"
When Liu Heng talked to Ruyang, he changed his cold style and became gentle and gentle.
Ruyang nodded, she didn't like to talk.
"Your Majesty, please! The other courtyard has been cleaned up, and the servants who are waiting are also prepared. They are all reliable people."
Rong Xin led the way while introducing the situation in the city.
The brother and sister listened in silence without interrupting.
After getting off the boat, take a carriage to the courtyard of the city.
Wash and rest, followed by a banquet.
Ruyang directly refused: "If the palace is exhausted, the banquet will be forgiven! Cook some side dishes and send them to the palace."
"Yes!"
The second prince Liu Heng did not refuse the banquet.
Even after eating a banquet for three days, I knew all that should be known and all that should be understood.
Only then did the siblings pack their bags and set off for Beijing.
"It's a pity that Big Brother is not in the capital!" Ruyang was quite regretful.
The second prince Liu Heng smiled and said, "Brother Li is in the capital! I heard that he is already the deputy director of the Audit Department. The property under his mother's name is all that he leads people to review the accounts, and he does a good job."
Ruyang pursed his lips and smiled, "Brother Li has been a money addict since he was a child, and he has a good plan. It is appropriate for him to enter the Audit Department."
Liu Heng asked her, "How about you? Do you want to go to sea?"
"Of course! My roots are overseas, and I must go back. I am coming back this time just to solve major life issues."
After speaking, Ruyang laughed, rare and gentle and sweet.
