Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

After the sound of the whip, as usual, the emperor would come in stepping on the hour, but today it was a bit slower. The fourth prince came in first, stood at his fixed position, resisted yawning, and glanced at the courtiers' positions When he saw Wang Xiujin, he raised his eyebrows at him. He didn't know whether Wang Xiujin could see it, after all, his position was a little far away.The courtiers didn't notice the action of the fourth prince, and they were still guessing why the emperor was late today and what happened?Do you want to remonstrate?

Just when they were guessing wildly, the emperor was already sitting on the dragon chair, and also glanced at the civil and military affairs of the court.Following the singing of the Great Court Assembly, all the ministers knelt down and shouted long live, the emperor calmly let the ministers lie down, and opened today's Great Court Meeting.

As it took longer and longer to know that the emperor was "seriously ill", some ministers became impatient and eager to take Wang Xiujin's profitable business into their own pockets. Time did not comment.The ministers also did not have the reserve of the past, turning a corner to recommend talents, but directly talked about the Huangshang's physical discomfort.

Wang Xiujin, who was standing in the corner, listened to everyone's words and figured out why the emperor asked him to come. Wang Xiujin found it very funny. These people took it for granted!Even if he said that one day he would die and donate all his property, but the object of the donation is the royal family, who has a relationship with these people, who are they from the royal family?However, Wang Xiujin wasn't angry, he just looked at a group of people arguing about who should give this to someone, who knew someone, etc. Wang Xiujin secretly looked at the superior emperor, and now he felt a little sympathetic to the emperor.

The emperor is in a good mood today, looking at the ministers is like watching a clown jumping on a beam, and the thoughts of watching a play when he heard it at the beginning came back, and he tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers, thinking that these people saw the emperor's business as loose What would it look like, probably wouldn't believe that Wang Xiujin's body is healthy!

"What do you all think of the proposals of the love ministers?" The emperor wanted to see the expressions of these ministers, so he interrupted the topic of "how capable" he was about to argue.

All the ministers looked at each other. During this time, no matter how those people who wanted to fight for the property of the imperial business scrambled, the emperor didn't respond at all, as if he didn't understand what they were talking about. Why did he suddenly say such a thing today?Didn't hear it before?The ministers were a little hesitant, why did they feel that the emperor was playing tricks on them and let them go inside?Looking at each other like this, they suddenly noticed a tall and straight person in a court dress in the corner, and then looked up, and after seeing the other person's appearance, what they noticed immediately became clear, this is a trick!

"I think it's ridiculous!" The minister who recognized Wang Xiujin's thoughts changed, guessed the emperor's intention, and immediately came out. He thought that those who tried to carve up the property of the emperor's business were dead.

If one person jumped out to object, there would be a second one, who stood up and looked at it without even looking at it. Among the ministers, there are still people who said they would give them an afterthought. Some of them are still accomplices with them, but because their rank and power are not as high as them, they can only wait for the ones that are left out of their hands. I expected these people to put in a lot of effort. After all, if they put in a lot of effort, I would give them more, but I didn't expect that they would jump out and sing the opposite. The faces of these ministers were so wonderful.

Those who attempted to carve up Wang Xiujin's property naturally wouldn't feel that they were doing something wrong just because someone called it absurd. Wang Xiujin was about to die, and he was still talking about what those properties were for. Didn't he say how loyal he was to Daliang?If they let out the wind early and gave the property to the court after death, then they have the ability to manage it, so what's wrong with sharing the emperor's worries?Some people came out and argued hard, even if there was no reason, they could say something, which was very sophistry.

"I think that what the lords said is reasonable, but I don't know how much the lords can give to the treasury every year. The amount of money that I hand over to the treasury every year is [-]% of the total profit, and the remaining [-]% ​​will be reserved for the next year. From the time I became an official to the present I have never received a monthly salary from the imperial court." Wang Xiujin said frankly, "If everyone thinks that the subordinate is not capable enough, the subordinate can also let the virtuous."

As soon as Wang Xiujin opened his mouth, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Wang Xiujin sighed inwardly. Today, he became an actor and entertained the emperor. He didn't know whether the emperor's mood was beautiful or gloomy after watching the play.So Wang Xiujin, who was not in a very beautiful mood, was thinking about how to disgust everyone to vent his depression.

The minister who was full of sophistry just now had a wonderful expression on his face when he saw Wang Xiujin. Didn't it mean that his life was not long?Even if they don't know medical skills, just judging from their complexion, their complexion is rosy, their words are not short of breath, they stand more steadily, and they seem to be a little fatter than before, which doesn't look like they are going to die.The ministers hesitated for a moment, but they still took chances. Is the accident an illusion? "Huang Shang, this statement is wrong. As a subject, I should try my best to serve the king and relieve the king's worries."

Seeing the other party's sanctimonious appearance, Wang Xiujin was happy, and he suddenly thought of a word... See you soon. "Please answer the question directly, and don't pass the responsibility on to the emperor!" Wang Xiujin pointed it out quite bluntly, without caring about the other party's face at all.No one expected that Wang Xiujin would come back so directly, and the faces of several ministers became particularly ugly.Wang Xiujin looked back at them very calmly, not caring what the other party was thinking at all.

The emperor who was sitting in a high position couldn't help being amused, and suppressed his laughter. He thought it was very interesting. Wang Xiujin didn't follow the routine at all, and his chess went off the beaten track, making people speechless.Lord Wang and the members of the Li family who were in court stood very calmly.The other ministers who were temporarily transferred to the changed camp silently looked down at their toes, and sighed in their hearts. Fortunately, the imperial merchants do not need to go to court, and it is better to avoid annoying the imperial merchants in the future. Listening to the imperial merchants' words, they are full of confidence, and their lives are not enough. As for those who still can't see clearly, they can already foresee what will happen.

"Well, tell me, I also want to hear how you will answer." The emperor suppressed his smile and opened his mouth.

The minister who had been dancing happily before was so frightened by the emperor's words that his body became stiff and he knelt down on the ground. How should he answer?How much money to the emperor?They just want to move the money home, and they never thought about giving money to the royal family. The treasury is abundant, so where is the money they need? Less, not enough.But can the words be spoken?Unless they don't want to live, they will say it.

Everyone was shaking like a sieve, and one of them was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground.Wang Xiujin pursed his lips, how could he be confident if he was able to jump up and down with such little ability?If people do not have self-knowledge, they will die early.

"Say it! Didn't you know how to say it before?" The emperor didn't want to let it go. There must be someone who will scare the chickens and monkeys out of this matter. Otherwise, if Wang Xiujin really has such a day, he won't be able to tell how to deal with it. Wang Xiujin will really find trouble. The property that I earned and bought, I have nothing to say to the royal family.Wait, for the royal family, what is the matter with those ministers? There are so many things about the royal family, do these people need to worry about it?For these ministers who are concerned about the royal money, the emperor will naturally not give a good face, nor will he be lenient.

How lively the rumors of the Emperor Shang's "serious illness and dying" were, and when people appeared, people would feel a little guilty, and immediately changed the topic and scolded those who spread the rumors.Wang Xiujin didn't like or dislike these people. When people spread rumors, they didn't care about the truth or falsehood. Everyone just wanted to have a good time, and some of them could say the same as the truth.

Coming out of the palace, Wang Xiujin didn't have any sympathy for those ministers who were punished, nor did he have the heart of a virgin.After catching up on sleep at home, Wang Xiujin went to the shop, and the customers in the shop came in just like that when they saw Wang Xiujin, one by one seemed to have seen a ghost, one exaggerated, even touched his chest, and leaned back I don't know if he was fainted or pretended to be fainted.

Wang Xiujin walked straight to the backyard without taking a second look.The shopkeeper followed immediately, and the shop assistants were still busy with their own affairs, and urged to ask the customers what else they needed to choose.Wang Xiujin asked about the recent situation of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper’s answer was similar to that of shopkeeper Wang. Recently, many people have come to inquire about the news, and there are a lot of yamen servants. Going up a few laps is like looking at the site.

Wang Xiujin nodded, and after taking a sip of tea in the back, Wang Xiujin sat in the front, he wanted to see who had no eyesight and divide his shop into their territory.Wang Xiujin knew that the yamen servants were also under the command of others, and he also knew that this matter was fueled by him, but he still felt uncomfortable.

After a while, the yamen servant who did not receive the arrest letter from above arrived at the shop again, but when the leader looked at the people sitting in the shop, he immediately stopped and saluted immediately.It doesn't matter whether Wang Xiujin wears an official uniform or not, and it doesn't matter whether Wang Xiujin wants to go to court, his rank is there, and the lower officials have to salute when they see him.These yamen servants were secretly shocked, didn't they say that the imperial merchants could not do it?This... Doesn't it look good, and doesn't it look sick?Where did the previous rumors come from? If they had known that the imperial merchants were fine, they wouldn't have entered the shop so carelessly!How could they offend the imperial merchants? Compared with the officials who ordered them, the imperial merchants were many grades higher. The most important thing was that the imperial merchants were the most popular people in front of the emperor.

The yamen servants were almost remorseful, but Wang Xiujin took a teacup and drank a cup of tea slowly. He couldn't do anything to these yamen servants, but if he didn't do anything, the yamen servants would definitely think that he was very talkative. This impression should be divided. , This matter in front of me is absolutely impossible.
