1129 Anger
So Emperor Chongzhen started to read the memorial with a little joy. When he first read the memorial, Emperor Chongzhen's expression was very normal and gradually became excited. Even a hint of blush appeared on his face!
Although Wang Chengen didn't see what was written in the memorial, he also guessed that he should have described the things on the battlefield to Emperor Chongzhen at this time. However, when the memorial was about to end, Emperor Chongzhen's face changed!
Not only did his face turn pale, but even the blue veins on his hands jumped up! Seeing the end, Emperor Chongzhen threw the memorial heavily to the ground and shouted loudly: "It's too much to deceive people! I'm going to send troops to wipe him out!"
Wang Chengen was not sure about this, so he hurriedly picked up the memorial from the ground and placed it on the table, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Be careful of hurting the dragon's body!"
Emperor Chongzhen slapped the table and said, "How can you calm down your anger when you ask me? That bastard Liu Pei was really hit by Zhou Yanru! He really wants to interfere in the area!"
Seeing that the emperor was really angry, Wang Chengen swept all the things on the case to the ground, and did not dare to speak anymore, so the emperor lost his temper.
Emperor Chongzhen had a short burst of trouble before he could barely calm down. Then he waved his arm and said, "Let Zhou Yanru meet him immediately!"
Wang Chengen immediately gave a wink to the little eunuch next to him. The little eunuch received the order and ran out in a row! At this time, everyone knew that the farther away from the emperor, the better! So other little eunuchs watched the little eunuch running out enviously.
At this time, Wang Chengen pointed at them and said, "One of them had no wink! Get the things clean up quickly and bring your Majesty a cup of tea!"
With Wang Chengen's order, the eunuchs around him immediately took action quickly. Soon, everything that was messed up by Emperor Chongzhen returned to its original appearance. A eunuch also had a cup of tea with the right temperature in Penglai.
Emperor Chongzhen sighed deeply, drank the tea in one breath, and threw the teacup to the ground! Wang Chengen immediately kicked the fragments away and signaled a small eunuch to clean up. He turned to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what happens, there is always a minister who will help you with your advice and find a way, so don't worry!"
Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the memorial and said, "What else can they think of? They can only delay! The commander will delay the matter in the end! When the matter is related to their vital interests, they will pounce on it, biting their mouths and not letting go!"
Speaking of this, he picked up Liu Pei's memorial and said, "Look, look! There is no word of instructions on this memorial, and there is not even a briefing! It can be seen that this is how they do things!"
Wang Chengen hurriedly helped Emperor Chongzhen to sit down and said, "Your Majesty, you are the lord of all people. As long as you speak, will they dare not listen? Just like last time, did you force them, don't you have the idea to take it out?"
Hearing Wang Chengen say this, Emperor Chongzhen snorted and stopped talking. At this time, the little eunuchs in the hall had packed up their broken tea cups and brought another cup of new tea.
After a while, Zhou Yanru appeared in front of Emperor Chongzhen. Before he could speak, Emperor Chongzhen said first: "Zhou Qing family, is this what you are talking about? I don't write a single word on the memorial. What's the use of doing this?"
Zhou Yanru bowed calmly and said, "Your Majesty calm down! Have you forgotten the plan you discussed with the old minister some time ago?"
Emperor Chongzhen, who was already furious, slowly calmed down after saying this. Then he said in surprise: "But this does not match what we expected!"
Zhou Yanru laughed and said, "Your Majesty, where is there anything in the world that goes exactly as planned? What we do can only change with the times."
Emperor Chongzhen handed the memorial to Zhou Yanru and said, "Zhou Aiqing, let's not talk about anything else, why don't you have a word on this memorial? Is that how you do it?"
Zhou Yanru said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the above did not give any instructions was specifically requested by the old minister. This is in line with our plan."
Emperor Chongzhen said, "Then let me tell you. Wang Chengen, take a seat for Lord Zhou."
Wang Chengen immediately signaled the eunuch to send a bench. Zhou Yanru sat down and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister said last time that Liu Pei returned to Shandong.
He would inevitably interfere in local taxation later, and this matter was indeed criticized by the old minister. However, although he put the stamp on the table, he delayed it for a long time, which shows that even if this person is loyal and cautious, there is probably not much left!"
Emperor Chongzhen said irritably: "I thought of this too, no need to say more! You just need to say how to deal with it!"
Zhou Yanru smiled and said, "The old minister thought that Liu Pei was a smart man, but he didn't expect that he was just a vulgar martial artist! Your Majesty can feel a little more at ease now, because we have a lot of things to do to him now! It's not impossible to force him to serve His Majesty in the future!"
Emperor Chongzhen said with great interest after hearing this: "Oh. Why do you say that?"
Zhou Yanru said: "The old minister thought that he would interfere in local taxes and would look for various names in Shandong to collect money and grain. In that case, it would be very difficult for him to deal with! But this person is too greedy for money! He actually wants to collect taxes on the canal. This is his way to die!"
Emperor Chongzhen was happy when he heard this! He immediately sat upright and said, "Please tell me in detail, what is the difference between collecting taxes in the local area and collecting taxes in the canal?"
Zhou Yanru said: "Your Majesty, if he interferes in local taxation, he will only offend a group of people in the local area. Moreover, these people can be recovered from other places, so the losses will not be too great, so he will not have too much hatred for Liu Pei! But the canal is different! The canal connects north and south, and is an important place for finance and taxation! There are more than a thousand ships sailing on the canal every day? And behind these people are either nobles and military generals or gentry! Liu Pei collects taxes from them, how can these people not hold a grudge against him? Humph, by the time his enemies are all over the world, even if he has the will of rebellion, he may not have the power to rebel!"
Emperor Chongzhen thought it was really the case! Anyone who was carrying cargo on the canal was not one or several big figures behind it! Their power was so powerful, how could it be allowed to allow Liu Pei to cut his flesh on them?
