Chapter 328: The emperor is crazy

"Where is Liu Zhao now?"
The emperor suddenly asked about Liu Zhao's whereabouts.
The Shaofu family made my heart beat a little.
Chen Jianzheng Chen Dachang bowed and said: "His Majesty, the edict of the son has arrived at the court of Beirong, and the specific news will not be received until a few days."
The emperor nodded and suddenly laughed, "If Liu Zhao is here, I would like to ask him how he picked Gu Jiu back then. A boudoir girl, who has been married for only one or two years, has such knowledge, it is true. Surprised me. Still, she is really unique.
Uncle, you have talked with Gu Jiu for so long, what kind of person do you think Gu Jiu is? "
Xiaofu Jialing was surprised that Liu Zhao went to the court of Beirong, and was questioned by the emperor.
He hurriedly restrained his mind, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen's impression of Gu Jiu is one of cleverness and the other is openness. She seems to have nothing to say to others, and will speak frankly if she has any thoughts. ."
"Oh? Then I really want to test and teach her personally. Come, invite Gu Jiu into the palace, and say I have something to ask her."
Jian Chen was bowing to take his orders.
The young man made his forehead sweat, worried that he might harm Gu Jiu, and felt a little uneasy.
The emperor waved his hand and motioned him to stay calm and not irritable, "My uncle must not tell me about Liu Zhao's whereabouts. This matter is currently confidential."
Xiaofu Jialing quickly said yes, "Weichen must take care of his mouth and never reveal a word."
"That's great!"
The monarch and the minister continued to talk about the Shaofu loan.
Chen Dachang arranged for Shen Changshi to go to the palace to invite Gu Jiu into the palace.
He stood under the eaves, and did not rush back to the hall to wait for orders.
He looked at the sky, it was a sunny day again today.
A little yellow door quietly came to him, "Open to godfather, Li Defei sent someone to ask your Majesty whether to turn over the sign today? Where do you want to rest at night?"
A few days ago, Li Zhaoyi was finally promoted to Li Defei. The palace resumed its original trio of concubines.
Chen Dachang sneered, "How much money did you charge Concubine Li De, and help her interrogate?"
"Goddaddy forgive me."
Xiao Huangmen knelt on the ground, slap after slap, slapped his face fiercely.
Chen Dachang snorted, "Go down and receive the punishment, not as an example."
"Thank you godfather for his forgiveness. My son will never dare anymore, so my son will go down and receive the punishment."
"Go! From now on, Li Defei will send someone to ask about anything, just ignore it."
"Son understands."
The little yellow door bowed back.
Chen Dachang sneered, all of them went crazy.
How old is the little prince, is Li Defei so impatient?
Recently, King Ning and King Zhao sent beauties to the palace. Now it seems that it is time for the beauties sent by King Ning to attend the bed, divided into the favor of Concubine Li De and Jiang Shuyi.
...
When Gu Jiu returned to the palace, before he had time to rest, the concierge reported that the palace sent someone to ask her to enter the palace.
Gu Jiu was surprised.
"Nothing will happen, right?" Qingmei was worried.
The concierge said: "People from the palace, this will be drinking tea in the Tourmaline Pavilion. The prince personally greets him. The prince asks the eldest lady to go over immediately, go early and return early."
Gu Jiu asked hurriedly, "Who is from the palace?"
"Return to Madam, the person who came is Changshi Shen."
Gu Jiu nodded. Shen Changshi knew that she was very respected by the emperor when she sat in a high position at a young age.
She also knew that Shen Chang's attendant Hu's natal family was from the same township, and the two sides had been in private contact.
Shen Changshi came in person, which means that the person who summoned her was the emperor?
Why did the emperor summon her?
She was uneasy, and did not dare to neglect the celebrities around the emperor. After properly dressing, she hurried to the tourmaline pavilion.
Still outside the door, I heard King Ning laugh loudly with an unfamiliar voice. It seemed that the two had a very happy conversation.
After passing through, Gu Jiu approached the Flower Hall.
"The eldest wife, this is Changshi Shen."
"I have seen Changshi Shen."
"Mrs. Zhao is polite. Since the people are here, let us enter the palace with our house. Your Majesty is impatient to wait for someone."
When Gu Jiu heard this, he was startled, and asked in astonishment: "Is your majesty summoned?"
Shen Changshi looked at Gu Jiu with a smile but a smile, "Of course it was your Majesty summoned. Madam Zhao, let's go."
Gu Jiu looked at King Ning.
King Ning waved her hand solemnly.
Gu Jiu knew that King Ning meant to tell her to be cautious in her words and deeds and to speak less and make less mistakes. In front of the emperor, don't talk nonsense.
With an uneasy 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 this road, I kept rushing.
After the notification, she was invited into the hall.
Seeing Shaofu Jialing sitting on one side, Gu Jiu suddenly realized that he finally knew why he was called to the palace for questioning.
"Grand daughter-in-law, see Your Majesty, Your Majesty has good life and health."
"Free gift!"
"Thank your Majesty."
Gu Jiu bowed his head slightly, standing in the center of the hall, waiting for the emperor's inquiry.
The emperor opened the door and asked: "Tell me your opinion on Shaofu's lending."
Gu Jiu took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and acted as calm as possible. "My grand-daughter-in-law thinks that money is the important weapon of the country and the world is crazy. It should be in the hands of the court like salt and iron.
The matter of borrowing, from the imperial court to Shengdou Xiaomin, cannot be avoided. This matter is related to the people's livelihood, how can it be controlled by private banks at will.
Private banks only take care of lending and collecting money. The monthly interest rate is three to four cents, and it is profitable. It is clear that it is to kill the people.
When Xiaomin went bankrupt and became a refugee, did the private bank ever provide a penny and a cent for disaster relief to relieve the court? When Xiaomin went bankrupt and went up and down, did the private bank ever assume responsibility?
They just make money, and do everything to make money, earning all the money in the hands of the people of the world, but sitting by and watching the people do not live.
Saying that they make money from the people, in the final analysis, they are grabbing money from the court and from the hands of His Majesty.
The moment they forced the taxpayers into refugees, they were fighting against the court and your majesty. Therefore, the grandson-in-law thinks that the young man must come forward to kill the world's private banks and work for the little people. Let the grassroots know that the court has always cared about the people, and your majesty has always cared about the people's livelihood. "
Shaofu Clan Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he knew that Gu Jiu could fool around.
The emperor smiled. Obviously, Gu Jiu's words came to the emperor's heart, which made the emperor very satisfied.
The emperor said: "You should let the civil and military officials listen to these words. You and the inner house women are more knowledgeable than the courtiers, and they should be ashamed."
"Your majesty is absurd, my grandson-in-law just talked about her own thoughts, she didn't dare to compare with courtiers.
The emperor carried his hands back and walked back and forth, "It is true that the private banks should be ruined and the power of the world's private banks should be ruined. This matter cannot be allowed to interfere with the Sixth Department of Chaotang. I have to leave this matter to the Shaofu."
The Young Master's Ling bowed slightly, "Please give your instructions."
"Starting from the capital, I want to kill a hundred people, let the world usury know that they dare to harm my people, and I want his family to bury him."
Shao Fu Jia Ling shuddered all over, both nervous and excited. It's been a long time since Shaofu did such a big scene. It was an exciting time.
The emperor also said: "The specific regulations shall be handled in accordance with the previously discussed articles. I hope that my uncle will be dedicated to the public and contribute to the Liu family."
"Weichen will never live up to your majesty's expectations." Shaofu Jialing said loudly.
What a good thing to kill a private bank. Of course he wants to do something special and do it hard. No one should ever want to take this rare opportunity from him, let alone take power from him.
Shao Fu Jia Ling is almost sixty, his face flushed with excitement. He looked at Gu Jiu, very grateful.
Gu Jiu Waterfall Khan, she only lent her money to fool the Shaofu family, so she raised the topic of Shaofu's participation in the lending market and related to the people's livelihood.
She thought that even if she had heard about it, even if she really wanted to do it, it might be a little trouble.
But I didn't expect that the efficiency of Shaofu Jialing's work was inconsistent. As soon as her front foot left, the young man's family Ling ran to the palace and tried her best to make it happen.
And the emperor agreed to this proposal without the court meeting.
This efficiency shocked Gu Jiu who was passing through.
This work efficiency is too fast, faster than the efficiency of later generations.
The emperor made the decision in one word, without going through court discussions. Directly use commercial means to deal with private banks.
Since it is a commercial method, of course there is no need to go through court discussions.
In fact, the emperor himself knew that there was no way to discuss this matter. The court was 100% opposed.
As Gu Jiu guessed, the backers behind the major banks are the hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, and the royal clan.
Destroying money is like killing a parent.
Just ask, the emperor has made it clear that he wants to take food from everyone, can the civil and military officials and royal family members agree?
I definitely won't agree!
In this case, the court meeting is meaningless. It is more practical to directly let Shaofu use commercial means to suppress private banks.
As for the reason why the young man was so active in facilitating this matter, of course it was for money and even more for power.
Shaofu Jialing, to put it bluntly, is the chief steward of the emperor. To be the steward of the emperor, but also to increase income and reduce expenditure for the emperor.
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!
Moreover, he can also take this opportunity to take over power. Once the Shaofu Lending Department is established, his power will increase exponentially.
It is a good thing to get a name and power, can he not be more active?
So he was grateful that Gu Jiu opened a window for him, allowing him to start a new career peak when he was approaching 60 years old.
As long as the matter goes smoothly, he can at least be in the position of Shaofu Jialing for another ten years.
Even if the new emperor ascended the throne, he would not be easily replaced.
Gu Jiu thought she had nothing to do with her, she would be able to leave the palace and return to the palace soon.
But he didn't expect the emperor's voice to change and ask her a question.
"Based on your insights, which prince do you think is worthy of the ruler?"
When Gu Jiu heard this, he fell into a big trough.
My eldest son, you and I have no grievances in the past and now, why should you give me propositions?
If this question is not answered well, she is really likely to die.
To be a king is not to ask who is qualified to be the next emperor.
She said Liu Zhao is qualified to be emperor, can it work?
Of course not!
Not only can't it, but it will be fatal.
Without patronizing Jiu's heart, there were ten thousand grass-mud horses running wildly, and even Shaofu Jialing was sweating coldly.
This is a terrible question.
Gu Jiu calmed down and said with trepidation: "The grandson-in-law is a woman in the house, who cares about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea every day, and never thinks about major events in the country."
"Then think about it now, no matter what you say, I forgive you not guilty."
Gu Jiu broke out in a cold sweat, "But my grand-daughter-in-law can't think of it. My grand-daughter-in-law doesn't understand military affairs and is not familiar with the uncles. I really can't tell. Please forgive me!"
She bowed to plead guilty, very honest at the moment.
Yes, it is the most honest moment in her life.
The emperor refused to let her go easily.
The emperor pointed at her, "You are dishonest. The Young Mansion Commander said you are frank, but in my eyes, I don't see frankness, I only see perfunctory."
Gu Jiu smiled bitterly, dying!
Shaofu Jialing secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He did not expect that a word he praised Gu Jiu would actually invite such tragedy for Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu took a deep breath and said courageously: "Before your majesty, please forgive your grandson and daughter-in-law for not being open."
The emperor is silent.
The air in the hall seemed to be stagnant, quiet enough to hear his own breathing.
Shaofu Jialing was even more nervous than Gu Jiu, cold sweat dripped, dripping onto the floor, moistening a piece.
Chen Dachang lowered his eyebrows, no one could see what he was thinking.
Gu Jiu calmed down instead.
Anyway, it's already like this, it's useless to be afraid, so there is no need to be afraid.
"Haha..."
Just when Shaofu Jialing was about to suffocate and pass unconscious, 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 without fear of suffocation and death.
The emperor pointed to Gu Jiu, "You are bold. In recent 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 you."
Gu Jiu had a look of lovelessness.
are you crazy!
Sure enough, people who have been emperors for a long time are very abnormal.
It must not be guessed by common sense.
Because they have no ordinary people's thinking at all. Their thoughts, thinking, and everything are abnormal.
Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty wants to listen to the truth, and grandson-in-law can only tell the truth. The truth is, no grandson-in-law can be elected."
"Why?"
"Because the grand-daughter-in-law does not know who is good and who is bad, and there is no test result for the grand-daughter to refer to.
"Haha... You can't think of it, but you can say something like exam results."
Gu Jiu smiled awkwardly.
"I ask you again, if you want to organize an exam for the princes, from which aspects should the exam questions be given."
Gu Jiu Waterfall Khan!
There is a sentence mmp in my heart that I don't know whether to say or not.
She could only bite the bullet and said: "If there is such an exam, grandson-in-law thinks that it should be calculated from military strategy, military objectives, military money and food, how to improve the sense of honor of the soldiers, taxation population, criminal names and laws, selection of talents, economy and people's livelihood, How to develop the economy, increase business taxes, reduce agricultural taxes, and reduce farmers’ burdens."
The audience was silent.
No one speaks.
The emperor's eyes gleamed with unknown light, staring at Gu Jiu.
Shaofu Jialing burst into a cold sweat again, ten times more nervous than Gu Jiu in his heart.
For the first time, Chen Dachang looked at Gu Jiu with his straight eyes, thinking that Madam Zhao would really dare to speak. His Majesty asked her casually, did she take it seriously?
The emperor laughed again, alleviating the tense atmosphere in the hall.
"Your question is too wide. In my opinion, no prince can answer them all."
Gu Jiu bowed and said: "What your majesty said. The grandson-in-law is dull and gibberish, please forgive me."
As a result, the emperor's voice changed, "But these questions should be known to the princes. But I guess that no one of my stupid sons has seriously considered these questions. Gu Jiu, do you have answers to these questions? "
Gu Jiu shook his head again and again, resolutely not to take matters on him. It's so torturing.
"The grand-daughter-in-law just said casually, these questions, the grand-daughter-in-law is dull, and can't answer any of them."
"You are perfunctory me again, I can see it."
Gu Jiu was in a cold sweat, "Granddaughter-in-law dare not perfuse Your Majesty, grand-daughter-in-law tells the truth."
The emperor shook his head, "Just relying on your ability to offer Shaofu to take over money, suppress private private loans, and give the people a way to survive; say, money, the most important weapon of the country, I know you have ink in your stomach."
Gu Jiu became nervous.
The emperor stared at her, "It's a pity that Liu Zhao is not there. If Liu Zhao is here, I must slap him severely."
Gu Jiu was stunned, his conversation changed too fast, and he 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 Liu Zhao doesn't know. Since he knows, he has never mentioned a word. It shows that his heart is hidden and impure."
Gu Jiu took a deep breath, "The son doesn't know what the grandson is thinking."
"Absurd! Is it true that I can fool around at will? You are a husband and wife, sharing the same bed, can he not know what you think?"
Gu Jiu: mmp, you are the emperor and your boss. Everything you say is right. This should be fine.
