Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 76: Visiting by Order

Concubine Shu suppressed the crazy jealousy and hatred in her heart, for the sake of her son... just for the sake of her son, she rolled her eyes and said something else, something sad and difficult to say,

"You are the emperor, the one who makes the laws. Why can parents buy and sell their children? It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but some parents are even crueler than tigers."

"It's not enough to have my daughter's bones and marrow sucked out, and it's not enough to have her ashes scattered. I have no choice, I just want to live~~ I just want to live~~~"

"you······"

Emperor Xuan pointed at Concubine Shu and wanted to tell her that it has been like this since ancient times, and the buying and selling of children has been repeatedly banned in every dynasty.

As Concubine Shu continued to tell his story, Emperor Xuan's anger was not as great. He was the emperor and he would not really risk his life for a woman.

Besides, Concubine Shu was just special in his heart, not true love as Xu Jinyu said. If it was true love, he would have placed Concubine Shu on the throne of Queen long ago.

What kind of emperor is he if he makes his woman bow down and serve him all day long?

"Boom boom boom!"

His Minister of War came running over, sweating profusely.

"His Majesty·······"

He whispered something in Emperor Xuan's ear and then retreated behind him.

Emperor Xuan looked back at the Minister of War, who met his eyes blankly, without any of his former cleverness.

Then the Minister of Revenue came, the Minister of Rites came, and the Left Prime Minister came. Everyone blinked their big eyes and showed no intention of retreating.

Emperor Xuan couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at these old foxes. "You want to watch my fun, right? I'll let you watch to your heart's content, and then I'll deal with you later."

Then he motioned to Concubine Shu to continue, "Don't you just want to see my gossip? Anyway, with Xu Jinyu's big loudspeaker, I guess these people know everything."

Concubine Shu glanced at the important officials of the court who were sitting there speechless.

There was no way, I was interrupted several times at once.

People say that the first effort is strong but the second is weak and the third is exhausted. Now Shufei has no emotions, no tears, no grief and indignation, no jealousy and hatred. Now she is just exhausted.

Originally, he wanted to rely on his tragic life experience to soften Emperor Xuan's heart, but now he is not in the mood anymore.

Let her do whatever she wants. At this moment, Concubine Shu just gave in and let Emperor Xuan deal with her. Anyway, the Third Prince is there, and His Majesty cannot kill her directly.

The people present stared at each other in amazement. After a while, Emperor Xuan waved his sleeves and said, "The concubine is confined to the Yong'an Palace and is not allowed to leave forever."

Then he took this group of court officials who wanted to watch the fun back to the court room and continued the morning court.

As for Tong Anan, she has been sent to the Queen, and the unlucky guard in the cold palace was directly sent to the Imperial Hospital to practice with the imperial physician.

[The crime of deceiving the emperor was sentenced to house arrest. Sure enough, the emperor was soft-hearted and felt sorry for his favorite concubine. This is true love. ]

The third prince, who had just rushed in from outside the palace, felt his legs go weak and he knelt on the ground.

My mother's life was saved.

He originally wanted to save his mother's life even if he didn't want to be the prince.

As soon as Emperor Xuan walked into the court room, he heard Xu Jinyu's voice and clenched his fists again.

He didn't do that because he felt sorry for his favorite concubine, but because he didn't want to become enemies with his own son.

The following morning court session was calm and uneventful. Xu Jinyu did not feel anything, but those officials who knew Emperor Xuan well were terrified.

According to Emperor Xuan's temper, if he had dealt with the officials who had just watched the excitement during the morning court session, it would have proved that the matter was not serious. However, Emperor Xuan did not lose his temper at all, which proved that he was holding back a big one.

I waited till the morning court was over in fear and trepidation.

"If you have something to report, please report it. If not, please leave the court!

"I have my heart and I want to report it."

Remembering the cement formula that Wei An bought in his sleeve, Xu Jinyu hurriedly walked out of the team of officials.

"Play."

"I, Xu Jinyu, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, present the prescription on behalf of Wei An."

Handing the memorial to the eunuch, Xu Jinyu continued: "Wei Anxian's recipe is for cement, which can be used to pave roads, build houses, and repair dams. Its hardness far exceeds that of current building materials."

"The materials used are also simple: clay, bricks, waste slag, quicklime and gypsum."

Xu Jinyu was reading out the ingredients for the traditional method of making cement, but he had a different picture in his mind.

[Wow, hahaha... now that cement is available, I can see cement roads. What a lousy official road. It's all muddy when it rains. I sink half a foot every time I take a step. How can I say I'm on an official road? My bones are almost broken apart. How can I call it an official road?]

The tone was as disgusted as it could be.

All the officials looked at Zi Shuyan with strange eyes. Didn't Lord Xu ride in the prince's carriage when he returned to the capital? Why are there so many complaints?

Zi Shuyan simply rolled his eyes in the face of all kinds of looks from the officials. He, the Crown Prince of Daqian, had his quality of life despised by Xu Jinyu. What did he say?

Just bear with it!

Emperor Xuan directly blocked out Xu Jinyu's thoughts and looked at the memorial in his hand. He became more and more excited the more he read. If it was really as what was said in the memorial, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this cement was a national treasure.

You should know that the strongest adhesive in Daqian is made of glutinous rice water, so the cost is very high.

Look at the raw materials of cement in your hands: clay, waste slag, gypsum...they are not valuable things.

"it is good!"

Emperor Xuan couldn't help but pat the dragon throne.

"Wei Anxianfang has made great contributions. From now on, he will be assigned to the Ministry of Works and be in charge of cement matters."

Xu Jinyu was completely confused by what Emperor Xuan said.

"What kind of official is the Ministry of Works' Construction and Cleaning Department?"

A kind official nearby helped Xu Jinyu explain, "He is the head of the Ministry of Works, and he is also a sixth-rank official like you."

Well, this time Xu Jinyu understood. He was the head of the Ministry of Works, a sixth-rank official like her.

Wei An will be in charge of cement business next, and Xu Jinyu also has doubts about his position.

[What is my job as the head of the Ministry of Revenue? He has been in court for several days but has not done any work.]

"cough·····"

"cough······"

·····

Emperor Xuan, the Minister of Revenue, and most of the people in the court started coughing. Xu Jinyu was given this official position just to keep her in the court. It was given casually, and there was no plan for her to really do anything.

But now there is another thing for Xu Jinyu to do, and Emperor Xuan showed an expression of watching a good show.

"Xu Jinyu!"

"Chen is here!"

"From now on, we will go to the homes of all officials above the fifth rank in Beijing to check whether they are abusing their wives."

"Yes!"

Xu Jinyu agreed readily.

[Ahhh... I've wanted to go for a long time, but no one invited me to those banquets, and I can't just go there directly. I especially want to go to the banquet to see if it's like in the novels, where today you fall into the water, tomorrow I meet my lover in secret, and the day after tomorrow she catches us in bed together...]

[What a big bed...]

Xu Jinyu shouldn't be too happy.

The third prince was just feeling sad, but when he heard Xu Jinyu's voice, he shuddered all over and almost laughed. His mind raced, trying to find an excuse to go with Xu Jinyu tomorrow.

Officials above the fifth rank were in disarray. Did no one invite Xu Jinyu to the banquet? They didn't dare to invite Xu Jinyu to the banquet.

Anyone who stands out and is noticed by Xu Jinyu will have their underwear stripped off by Xu Jinyu.

and····

All the officials looked angrily at those officials who had just been there under the pretext of delivering messages but were actually just watching the fun.

It's all their fault. If they hadn't gone to watch Emperor Xuan's fun, Emperor Xuan wouldn't have sent Xu Jinyu, this powerful weapon, out.

The officials headed by the left and right prime ministers scratched their noses and pretended not to see anything. They felt good just now, but now His Majesty’s revenge has come.

The Emperor has been humiliated so much, it's time for everyone else to be humiliated together, so that His Majesty can feel more comfortable.

"Mr. Xu..."

At this time, Marquis Qingyang came up with a smile on his face.

"I am Yan Jing, Marquis of Qingyang. I will host a small banquet at my home tomorrow afternoon and welcome Lord Xu to visit."

Xu Jinyu looked at Qingyang Hou in surprise.

"I will definitely arrive on time."

But in his heart he was sighing: [Look! Look! This marquis is very tactful. As soon as the emperor gave the order, he took the initiative to cooperate. ]

The officials who were familiar with Marquis Qingyang couldn't help but roll their eyes. What active cooperation? Marquis Qingyang was just anxious to know whether his grandson was his biological one.
