Chapter 346 Qian Qianyi's Loyalty
Gu Junming's suggestion made Zhu Youjian's first reaction "Fuck!" This move was really cruel, and it was an open conspiracy. It really drove those people crazy, hehe.
The old routine, summoning Ruan Dacheng, who was a troublemaker, to the palace to discuss the details of the script, now with Qian Qianyi, it is more powerful and effective, hehe.
Ruan Dacheng and Qian Qianyi were ordered to enter the palace to meet the emperor. Ruan Dacheng had long been accustomed to listening to the emperor's instructions. Qian Qianyi had just surrendered, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart. When it comes to playing routines, the emperor is the best in the world. Everyone was fooled, and he didn't deserve to lose.
Although he understood how the emperor used to cooperate with Ruan Dacheng in acting, he had no way out now. He could only hold the emperor's thick dragon legs tightly like Ruan Dacheng.
Having said that, the emperor was really good to his own people. After he surrendered and swore allegiance, the emperor threw a volume of family files to him and asked him to take it home and read it, and then return it after reading it.
Qian Qianyi couldn't wait to open it and read it halfway home. This read almost scared him to death.
The family files recorded all kinds of black materials about him and his clansmen, and even his subordinates' stewards and stewards. He thought he did it secretly. It turned out that the emperor had people secretly collected various evidences, but for some reason, he didn't use him as a target.
Some things were enough to behead and confiscate his property. Although he didn't do it, if someone wanted to deal with him, they could easily take off his black hat by just making up a simple excuse of not governing his subordinates strictly.
Since the emperor showed him the family files, it meant that he would not deal with him. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he left the Donglin Party in time and surrendered to the emperor. Otherwise, he didn't know when the emperor would confiscate his property and exterminate his clan.
Moreover, as soon as he came to the emperor, he was taken as his confidant and accepted into the core circle, letting him know the secrets that many people did not know, such as the Qing Empire, which was dominating the north, was about to invade the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor was secretly preparing for war.
Oh, it is not enough to work hard for the emperor, but you have to cater to his preferences, give him money? Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the emperor is the best at making money. This way is not feasible. It seems that I can only work on beauty.
As for character and integrity, in the face of absolute interests, they are all clouds. The only way is to hold on to the emperor's thick dragon legs.
"The two beloved ministers are my twin stars." Zhu Youjian suddenly became playful and gave these two old ministers who were dedicated to disrupting the situation such a title, which is absolutely a compliment.
"Even if I risk my life, I will get things done." Qian Qianyi took the lead in expressing his loyalty.
Although he surrendered to the emperor and became friends with Ruan Dacheng, the competition between the two still existed, but it was a healthy competition without the swords and sabers that would not end until death.
In fact, Ruan Dacheng, who was already familiar with the emperor's routine, wanted to be the first to show his loyalty and take the credit, but when he saw the emperor's eyes looking at him, he understood and gave it to Qian Qianyi.
Zhu Youjian was quite satisfied with Qian Qianyi's performance, and explained it again, and signaled the two to leave.
"Qian Aiqing, do you have anything else to do?" Zhu Youjian saw that Wan Dacheng bowed and left, and Qian Qianyi was dawdling, as if he had something else to do, so he asked.
"Your Majesty, there are still nearly 50,000 shi of grain in my farm, and I want to donate it as military grain." Qian Qianyi said.
50,000 shi of grain, donating all to the emperor, of course, it hurts to death, but in order to please the emperor and for his bright future, he has to endure it even if it hurts.
He also suddenly had an idea and thought of this. When all the merchants and aristocratic families closed their shops and went on strike, the ministers of the royalist faction and some nobles and aristocratic families who were still loyal to the emperor were still opening shops to sell things, clearly supporting the emperor's decision. Otherwise, the whole capital would have been in chaos.
Zhen Qianyi also knew that these people, including Ruan Dacheng, had already obtained business licenses and opened their doors openly. He also asked the family members who were responsible for the family's important matters to obtain business licenses and continue to open their doors.
The ministers of the royalist faction were all vying to please the emperor. His participation was mostly just icing on the cake, and it might even be just following the trend. If he wanted to please the emperor, he had to find another way.
"Qian Aiqing, I know your loyalty, and I am very satisfied." Zhu Youjian smiled. He knew Qian Qianyi's thoughts very well, so he accepted this loyalty.
"I, your Majesty, will serve you faithfully until death." Qian Qianyi bowed his head to show his loyalty, smiling from ear to ear, and at the same time, he was proud of his intelligence.
Ruan Dacheng, I am one step ahead of you again, hehe.
