Chapter 856 Acting Skills Have Improved Again

Chapter 856 Acting skills have improved again

After entering the winter, the season that I obviously don't want to move, time passed faster. I just felt that winter just entered a few days ago, but in a blink of an eye, Zhou Shuren went to morning for the last time this month. After today, he can rest next month up.

Zhou Shuren held the stove in his arms. On the last day of the day, he finally didn't have to get up early to suffer from the cold. He moved his clumsy legs with two layers of knee pads. He couldn't walk fast now, so he moved slowly.

The court was not peaceful this morning, Zhou Shuren was in front of the background board, seeing through the appearance of not showing it, and looking at Lord Ning Hou who was in court from the corner of his eye.

A few days ago, the focus was on the expansion of the army. On the ship, the heat passed. After two days of comforting, Zhang Jinghong was clung to again. It should be a quiet time in winter, so it must be lively.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, glanced at where Zhou Shuren was standing, and wanted to give Zhou Shuren a kick every time. Zhou Shuren lowered his head. He was sure that his eyes must be closed. You say sneaking sleep, Every time he opened his mouth, Zhou Shuren could answer.

There was already a lot of speculation in the court over how to deal with Zhang Jinghong. He was envious of Zhou Shuren's ability to close his eyes, and wanted to kick Zhou Shuren even more.

Zhou Shuren was refreshed by the cold wind. The wind was too cold this time, so he continued to listen with his ears up.

Master Lu from Yushitai had the most recognizable voice, and he also insisted on liquidating the remnants of the previous dynasty, "Your Majesty, the replacement of the prince must be caused by the remnants of the previous dynasty. Your Majesty, you must not soften your heart.

Zhou Shuren understands Master Lu. Master Lu’s ancestors were miserable at the end of the previous dynasty. They almost didn’t exterminate the family. They hated the previous dynasty to the core. The imperial court believed that the remnants of the previous dynasty must be eradicated, and the last small part was purely for the sake of existence.

Standing in a team is also very interesting. The two factions who are arguing should not be too far apart, and some choose to stand in a team for the sake of balance.

Zhou Shuren really didn't notice it before, but now he is used to it, and he sees more. The last part of the people will not have great achievements, but they are indispensable in the court.

The emperor had already planned in his heart, and he kept silent while listening to the quarrel between the two sides. When the quarrel was almost over, the emperor stood up, "Let's stop here today, and retreat from the court."

With that said, he quickly lifted his foot and left.

Zhou Shuren knew this would happen, and silently closed the official uniform. He wanted to say that the official uniform could actually be made thicker. When he walked out with his head down, he saw the little eunuch with a flushed face outside the hall.

The little eunuch rubbed his hands tremblingly,

"My lord, the emperor has summoned you."

Zhou Shuren looked at the face and hands of the little eunuch, um, and he looked like he wanted to stomp his feet but didn't dare to do so. He had stood in the cold wind for a long time, so the emperor summoned him when he was not in court. Afraid that he would slip away, "Let's go."

The little eunuch is really going to cry, it's too cold today, he's going to freeze to death, "Yes, this way, my lord."

Zhou Shuren looked at the little father-in-law, feeling uncomfortable, "How old are you?"

The little father-in-law was a little confused, and after a while he said: "The slave is fourteen."

Zhou Shuren sighed, he was fourteen, at this age, he touched his purse, but he didn't dare to give more, took a few taels of broken silver, "It's cold today, buy some ointment for chilblains."

The little father-in-law is a little silly, this is living in the palace, everyone has a pair of clear eyes, real or fake, he can see clearly, there is no noble one who doesn't want money, this palace is full of places where money is swallowed , "Thank you, sir, for your reward."

"Um."

Zhou Shuren didn't speak anymore, this world has its own way of survival, and he soon reached the government hall.

The best charcoal fire is used in the government hall. It's freezing outside, but the house is warm like spring. Once you enter the government hall, you can feel the heat.

Zhou Shuren greeted the ceremony, "I kowtow to the emperor."

The emperor gestured to stand up, pointed to the stools that had been set up and said, "Sit."

Zhou Shuren was not too polite. It was a long time in the early morning today. His legs were very uncomfortable to stand on.

The emperor signaled the little eunuch to remove all the tea, and waited for the little eunuch to retreat before he said, "I heard that you have been communicating with Wang Juo recently?"

Zhou Shuren thought, you can let go of what you have heard, don’t you see everything in your eyes, and said, “Jinzhou has Pinggang, and there are many ships passing through Pinggang. It is inevitable that large and small merchant ships need to be repaired. Some boatmen have a lot of work, and the materials used to repair merchant ships are also complete. You ask my minister to calculate, and the money in the household department must be spent in place, so I asked Wang Juo to investigate, so as not to quote high prices in the middle, and I hope to know the real price."

Zhou Shuren saw that the emperor was listening, and continued: "Wang Jue has been helping the ministers to make statistics before, and Wang Jue is very good at it. The minister got used to it for a while, and asked the emperor to make amends."

The emperor still didn't say a word. He looked at the account books submitted by Zhou Shuren a few days ago. Zhou Shuren didn't just listen to the quotation below and calculate it, but after verification. There were fewer layers of false reports in the middle, and the difference in money was too big.

The emperor didn't mention Wang Jue, but instead asked, "You gave an estimated value, what do you mean, if you build enough for the quantity I require, you will need half of the library silver?"

Zhou Shuren lowered his eyes, "This is a conservative estimate. If you really spend it, it will only be more or less."

The emperor wants too much, well, all the emperors have this problem. They want everything when they see it, and they all hope to be able to reach it in one step. Why did he do it in such detail? He just wanted to tell the emperor, don’t pull your crotch, be honest. Bar.

The emperor stared playfully at the top of Zhou Shuren's head, "I understand your intentions."

Zhou Shuren hurriedly knelt down and confessed, "I am guilty."

In ancient times, he was used to kneeling, and he was right to say that he was guilty. He didn't want to challenge the emperor's narrow-mindedness. The one in front of him was really not big-hearted. They said that a woman's heart is like the tip of a needle, and this one is similar.

It is a lie that the emperor is not lost in his heart. He is getting older and older. He hopes that he will make the country stronger when he is here. He is an emperor and a layman. In recent years, he wants more to be recorded and praised by future generations. , oh yes, and his autobiography.

The disappointment in the emperor's heart was gone again, "Get up, speaking of it, I still left you a booklet."

Zhou Shuren didn't want to know anything about Zhezi from the bottom of his heart, it must be something bad, the emperor is upset, the more unlucky he is, "I don't remember."

"It's okay, when the autobiography comes out, Ai Qing will remember."

Zhou Shuren's eyes widened, and he said, do you have to treat me like this?

This reaction pleased the emperor, and he laughed out loud, "It's getting late, you should go back too, the silver taels you estimated will be halved, and tell me how much I can build, that's all, let's step down."

Zhou Shuren frowned, "I feel that I can still chat with the emperor."

The emperor waved, "Go, go, I don't want to see you now."

Zhou Shuren walked away from the government hall step by step, and after Eunuch Liu sent him out, the corners of Zhou Shuren's lips curled up a little, there was no reluctance in his eyes, and he walked quickly, so that his acting skills improved again .
