580.The Captured Emperor 5
Zhou Zekai would not be bored in ancient times. Having a chat group is almost equivalent to having a different circle of friends. When he couldn't sleep at night, he would chat with his friends in the red envelope group.
[The young prince from the ancient plane: I am also a dead dog. This old ghost has traveled to another world and become the emperor! I’m still a prince! Tired of heart, not in love! 】
[Devil Fairy of the Prehistoric Continent: Little Prince, I think you are the slowest time flow in the group. I have changed eight partners. Thirteen thousand years have passed in the Prehistoric Continent. Besides, the old ghost came from the urban plane. In the ancient plane, he should be five or six hundred years old, right? Adding in the time he spent before that, a few thousand years is probably not a problem. 】
[The big bug in the Zerg plane sends a red envelope. 】
[Big bug from the Zerg plane: I’ll give you a red envelope to comfort you. 】
After clicking to grab the red envelope, Zhou Zekai just felt that having such a red envelope group would not be boring, especially the time flow rate of everyone in the group was also very strange. It was obvious that they were all happening now, but the flow rate was completely different.
[Thousand-year-old ghost: Young prince, maybe one day I will go to your plane, and then you will become the emperor, but you will have to protect me. 】
Zhou Zekai had no doubt that one day he would arrive in the world of the young prince. Then he would not have to fight hard, he could just hug his thighs.
[The young prince from the ancient plane: Humph! I envy you for being able to travel directly across planes. Just come here. How can I not join the friendship of the landlord? 】
Now everyone in the group knows that every time this thousand-year-old ghost gets the red envelope at the wrong time, or in other words, when he is traveling through the plane, there will be red envelopes occasionally, but most of the time there are none, so people in the group still secretly We have discussed the true age of the thousand-year-old ghost. Some people say it is thousands of years old, while others say it is tens of thousands of years old.
But no one asked Zhou Zekai. After all, everyone in this group is said to be powerful and a big boss, but who can have the ability to travel through space?
[Zombie King of the Zombie Plane: I thought I wanted the old ghost to come. The world here is so boring, I don’t even have any hair left! Don’t ask me what I eat to survive, I’m fasting, thank you! 】
The Zombie King's words were so funny that everyone immediately became happy. After Zhou Zekai got the group, what he asked everyone for the most was various medicines. After all, in this era, ensuring that one can live well is a very important thing. .
Whether it is a demon fairy or a person from the cultivation plane, Zhou Zekai has obtained a lot of pills, and there are also a lot of those pills for strengthening the body. If Zhou Zekai is willing, he can live hundreds of years in this ancient plane!
[The thousand-year-old ghost sends a red envelope. 】
The banquet prepared by the imperial chef was given to everyone to taste. The food in the Jin Dynasty was quite delicious, at least Zhou Zekai was very satisfied.
During this year, Zhou Zekai has been busy reforming and oppressing those so-called aristocratic families. It is not that he does not allow the existence of aristocratic families, but those aristocratic families are watching the people being displaced and even want to make money from the country's difficulties. It is really disappointing. Zhou Zekai is shameless, so he takes big actions. It is estimated that in a hundred years, these aristocratic families may disappear.
The Wang family and the Xie family sensed the danger immediately and extended an olive branch to Zhou Zekai as a sign of submission. This was a very smart move.
Under the leadership of the Wang family and the Xie family, there are some aristocratic families who are very obedient. As for those who are disobedient, they will naturally not develop in the land of Jin.
Originally, the emperor Zhou Zekai was the emperor of Shoucheng. Apart from natural and man-made disasters, there was no invasion from foreign enemies. The Jin Dynasty could be said to be the only one in this land. Only the people overseas who were far away and out of reach did not know what was going on.
While cracking down on aristocratic families, Zhou Zekai gradually nationalized some industries, such as alcohol. Zhou Zekai also asked the secret guards to create a Taoist temple, and he took the so-called 'miraculous medicine' to promote it.
Legend has it that this Taoist temple favored by Zhou Zekai contains several magical medicines, one that can make women look beautiful after eating it, one that can make men sing every night after taking it, and of course there is also a magic medicine that was praised by Emperor Hui'an. Drugs that can make a person energetic.
In short, the aristocratic family is still very rich, and there are really many rich people in the Jin Dynasty. Many rich people buy these medicines, which makes Zhou Zekai pocket a lot of money invisibly. After all, this medicine costs thousands of gold. of! Although a thousand gold may sound like a small amount, but these days, even in the capital city, the income of ordinary people is only four or five taels of silver a year, but this magic medicine requires one thousand taels of gold!
In any case, this medicine should be sold, but Zhou Zekai never expected that in addition to the beauty pill that women love the most, the alternative Viagra that can make people sing every night would also be sold. The sales volume is astonishing, even better than that of Beauty Pill.
After reading this sales volume, Zhou Zekai couldn't laugh or cry. Probably no matter which dynasty, a man's dignity is more important than his life~
It has been another three years, and Zhou's Trading Company has returned to the public's attention. Although it is said that officials do not compete with the people for profit, the latest supermarket opened by Zhou's Trading Company is high-quality and low-priced, and you can eat the freshest food even in winter. The vegetables and fruits, as well as the ice porridge and ice cream sold there in the summer, are even more popular among everyone.
Zhou Zekai has already brought his little prince Zhou Yu to the court. Now Zhou Yu is only thirteen years old, but he is already a mature and stable child. After he was crowned the prince, he knew the path he would take in the future, plus The support of the Tong family made the prince more and more decent, and he was able to express his opinions in the court, which made Zhou Zekai very satisfied.
There's just one thing that Zhou Yu hasn't figured out for so many years, but he doesn't dare to ask.
After going to court to bid farewell to his father, Zhou Yu planned to go to his mother's place to see his mother, but unexpectedly, he encountered an eunuch bullying Zhou Zhan!
Although it was summer, Zhou Zhan was splashed with water. He was shivering so pitifully that Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Zhan with more complicated eyes. Zhou Yu still remembered the sudden change more than three years ago. Still fresh, the imperial concubine was completely deposed, and even her father, the second prince whom she once loved, fell into the abyss. However, she did not expect that in just three years, Zhou Zhan would be humiliated like this.
He directly asked people to pull the eunuch away and kill him with a stick. Zhou Yu wanted to pull Zhou Zhan, but Zhou Zhan waved his hand away. Facing Zhou Zhan's hateful eyes, he could only ask the eunuch to send him back to take good care of him, and sent another The imperial doctor went over.
This was what he couldn't figure out the most. Three years ago, his mother recovered from his illness, the imperial concubine disappeared, his father named him the prince, and he never saw the emperor's brother he once loved again. Zhou Yu couldn't understand all of this. But he didn't dare to ask more questions.
After experiencing such a thing, Zhou Yu was no longer in the mood to go to his mother's place. He turned around and went to his bedroom, intending to read a book for a while to calm down.
Zhou Zekai knew everything that happened here in just a moment. He knew that Zhou Yu was a kind and good boy. It was precisely because of this that he was destined to invest more in Zhou Yu.
Wang Daxi asked Zhou Yu to come over. Looking at Zhou Yu who now looked like a young man in a brocade robe, Zhou Zekai asked.
"Yu'er, do you know why my father stopped paying attention to Zhan'er three years ago? Now he allows Zhan'er to be bullied?"
Upon hearing his father's words, Zhou Yu immediately fell to his knees, thinking that his father had discovered what he had done.
"My son, I don't know."
"I know you don't know, so I'm asking you, do you want to know?"
Zhou Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, but he couldn't hide the curiosity in his heart. He thought that he had been very happy getting along with his father in the past few years, so he replied.
"My son wants to know."
Zhou Zekai was very satisfied with Zhou Yu's answer and asked Wang Daxi to show Zhou Yu his seat. After the two sat together, they began to talk about the imperial concubine.
From the first time he met the imperial concubine Shu Huiyun, to when Shu Huiyun gave birth to Zhou Zhan, and finally how Shu Huiyun poisoned himself.
Zhou Yu's face was pale. Hearing these things that perhaps even his mother and queen didn't know, he felt his heart pounding. At the same time, after hearing that the emperor's younger brother was not his father's son at all, but the son of the third prince, Zhou Yu finally understood this. Everything, but I was also a little curious as to why my father didn't kill Zhou Zhan. After all, Zhou Zhan was a shame to my father.
"Yu'er, although Shu Huiyun has sorcery around her, she is not uncontrollable. She and the third prince are now imprisoned in a forbidden area in the palace. As for Zhan'er, when he is a little older, I will Let him meet his biological father. After all, I have raised him for so many years, and I cannot bear to kill him directly."
Zhou Zekai patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, but his expression suddenly became cold.
"But Yu'er, don't worry. I've already had someone drug Zhan'er. He won't be able to have any more children in this life, and he's too weak. Yu'er, if you want to take care of him, just take care of him."
Zhou Yu was used to seeing his father in the court who was called an iron-blooded emperor by the ministers. Now seeing how vigorous and resolute his father was in handling private affairs, he felt a little guilty for his soft-heartedness. Everything his father did was for him. If Zhan'er was not the third prince's child, I'm afraid it would be impossible for him to sit on the throne of the prince, right?
"My son, I know."
Everything he knew today was a nightmare for Zhou Yu. He could not imagine that his wise and powerful father would be played around by a woman and almost lose the Zhou family. Because of this, Zhou Yu would never look down upon the women around him.
Three years later, when Zhou Yu was sixteen, Zhou Zekai and the queen personally selected the most suitable crown princess and two concubines for him. In the same year, they also selected a consort for Princess Zhou Ying, which kept Zhou Zekai in a good mood throughout the year. .
Twelve-year-old Zhou Zhan is already sensible and knows that his mother-in-law may have made a big mistake and was abandoned by his father. In the past three years, Zhou Zhan has lived a good life because of the care of the prince, but for six years He has never seen his father again. Just when Zhou Zhan thought that he would never be summoned by his father again in this life, Wang Daxi came with a decree and summoned the second prince Zhou Zhan...
