Chapter 487 Did I cause trouble for Old Deng today? Did I harm an official today?
"We've been tricked by that bastard again."
Emperor Zhu held Empress Ma's hand, first repeating what that scoundrel had said, then sighed and said, "Now all we can think about are the words 'serving the people wholeheartedly' and 'the people's soldiers.'"
"That bastard is really good at making empty promises to us."
Empress Ma looked at Emperor Zhu with astonishment and said, "Serving the people wholeheartedly? The people's own army?"
Emperor Zhu gently stroked Empress Ma's hand, a slight look of confusion on his face.
"Correct."
"It's just one sentence, and these five words."
"Girl, do you know how delicious this pie he drew smells?"
"It is so fragrant that as long as we keep following this sentence and these five words, the Ming Dynasty will be forever secure."
"No matter how time flows or how the sun and moon change."
"But……"
Emperor Zhu sighed softly and said, "How can we guarantee that this statement will be implemented?"
"And what guarantees that these five characters will remain unchanged?"
"Girl, we have absolutely no confidence in this matter."
"We can't even guarantee that we'll be the same as we are now in ten or twenty years."
"We think immortality is a scam now, but when we get old, who can guarantee we won't seek immortality?"
"We can think of the people now, but who can guarantee that we won't put the Zhu family's throne before the people in the future?"
"We just said that we were tricked by that bastard again. We know the reasons and benefits behind it, but we can't guarantee that we can always stay like this."
At this point, Emperor Zhu's voice trembled slightly.
"Girl, I'm scared."
"I'm afraid I might change too."
"We're also afraid the price might change."
"What I fear even more is that my descendants will not live up to my expectations."
"we……"
Empress Ma withdrew her hand and gently patted Emperor Zhu's hand again, saying, "It's already very good, really, it's already very good."
Regarding the fact that Emperor Zhu was once again being schemed against, Empress Ma said that she had seen it many times before and was used to it.
Neither the father-in-law nor the son-in-law were behaving properly.
Empress Ma never expected that her son-in-law would be so audacious as to make such a huge promise to his father-in-law.
The key is that this pancake is incredibly fragrant.
Let alone Emperor Zhu wanting to eat it, Empress Ma felt that if it were any other emperor... well, let's not change it.
If it were any other emperor, then either his own son-in-law's head or the head of another emperor would have to fall to the ground sooner or later.
Ultimately, it is inevitable that the world will go through a process of great chaos followed by great order.
Thinking of this, Empress Ma couldn't help but glance at Emperor Zhu again.
Is this what they mean by good deeds being rewarded?
Or perhaps it's a case of fools having good luck?
Although his good son-in-law made empty promises and annoyed him, those promises were actually edible.
Most importantly, his good son-in-law is doing his best to avoid any potential turmoil.
Smiling and shaking her head, Empress Ma looked at Emperor Zhu and said, "Didn't you give our son-in-law the 'Riding Horse Talisman'? Let him do the rest."
"Like I said, just watch him do whatever he wants. If it's good, just use it. If it's bad, since it's only in Dengzhou, it'll be easy to change it later."
"As for what you're worried about..."
"Believe it or not, your good son-in-law actually already had a plan, and he's just deliberately making things difficult for you."
Upon hearing Empress Ma's words, Emperor Zhu immediately raised his head, looked at Empress Ma, and said, "He has a plan to deal with this; he's deliberately trying to make things difficult for us?"
Empress Ma chuckled and looked at Emperor Zhu with an unfriendly expression, asking, "Tell me first, what have you been doing today?"
Zhu Huangdi replied with a bewildered look, "I didn't do anything special. I just went with him to the county school to see the students from the community taking the county school entrance exam."
Empress Ma snorted coldly and said, "Then let me ask you, did you steal a pound of dragon balls from our son-in-law today?"
Emperor Zhu was slightly taken aback, but Empress Ma snorted again and said, "You, as a father-in-law, first refused to give your son-in-law a pound of tea last time, and this time you snatched a pound back from him."
"You're really something."
"If Jin'er and Yu'er hadn't brought the Little Dragon Ball over, I wouldn't have known you could do something like this."
Empress Ma said with exasperation, "Don't you ever think about it? You stole his tea leaves, do you think he'll make you feel comfortable?"
Emperor Zhu blinked.
That seems to be the case?
So, just because of two pounds of tea, this bastard schemed against us like this?
The more Emperor Zhu thought about it, the angrier he became. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Yang Shaofeng's courtyard, cursing, "That bastard! He's going to drive us crazy sooner or later!"
Empress Ma glanced at Emperor Zhu.
Really hammered.
The fact that Zhu Chongba has such a good son-in-law is not because good people are rewarded, but simply because fools are blessed.
The Emperor Zhu, who had just been reflecting on his actions, was now enraged: "What kind of son-in-law is this?!"
"He previously told us that none of the strategists were loyal enough, and that Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen's salaries should be deducted."
"Tell me, what was that gentleman he was talking about thinking, that he would accept such a scoundrel as a student?"
"Aren't all of our eldest, second, third, fourth, and fifth children better than him?"
"That bastard, we'll have to teach him a lesson sooner or later!"
Empress Ma glanced at Emperor Zhu again.
What should I do if I suddenly don't want to talk to this idiot anymore?
He acts like a three-year-old.
childish!
……
Just as Zhu Sansui in Empress Ma's eyes was pondering how to take revenge on her son-in-law, Yang Shaofeng was already leaning back in his recliner, sipping tea.
comfortable.
The pit they dug this time was quite large, large enough to fit Old Deng and all the civil officials in the court.
But they deserved it.
Who told that old man to owe me a pound of small dragon balls, and then to steal another pound of small dragon balls from me?
If there's no way to retaliate openly, then I'll make things difficult for him secretly.
There were also Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen.
It's just a matter of suppressing a rebellion, but we haven't seen any laborers yet. It's clearly a case of lazy governance and inaction.
Since Old Deng wouldn't deduct their salaries, let's give them some entertainment.
After all, I am a scholar and must abide by the teachings of Confucius.
I examine myself three times a day.
Did I cause Lao Deng any trouble today?
"Has the emperor already harmed all the officials today?"
Are you in a good mood today?
As for writing a memorial just to dig a hole...
As someone once said, Chinese itself possesses three-dimensional compression properties.
A memorial of two thousand characters was enough for them to decipher into two hundred thousand characters.
The rest are Lao Deng, Zhu Biao (that little Deng), Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and the others who will have a headache.
