Imagination is wonderful!
The reality is cruel!
Zhou Yanru didn't know that Chongzhen would never be able to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, the reason was that Zhou Yanru was unreliable!
Zhou Yanru in history was a traitor, and what he was best at was figuring out the holy will and inviting favors.In order to invite favor, he once did the lack of virtue of killing good people and risking merit, which is extremely shameless.Zhou Yanru in this time and space didn't know Chongzhen's true thoughts, and he was still intoxicated with the Spring and Autumn Dream of being promoted.Zhou Yanru's biggest wish in this life is to enter the cabinet, and then pull Wen Tiren, a bastard, off the horse, he will become the first assistant of the cabinet, and from then on he will take over all the power, and hundreds of officials will bow their heads, think about it, it's really beautiful!
Zhou Yanru's big boat was sailing on the canal, with a big Zhouzi flag hanging on the bow, and the wind was very windy.And Zhou Yanru also endured the feeling of nausea and vomiting, he put on his official uniform neatly, smiled, stroked his three-inch beard, and stood at the bow of the boat with a pretended face, looking like he was already the first assistant of the cabinet, overlooking the mountains and rivers from now on.The canal was very busy at this time, and the merchant ships from the north and south were almost filling the canal.These merchant ships were not satisfied with the goods they carried, such as raw silk, silk, salt, rice and wheat, red dates, chestnuts, beans and wheat, pig's bristles, and so on, which were transported to all parts of the country through the canals, and the price increased several times, and the merchants made countless profits as a result."
Sir!"
Zhou Yanru's servant walked in, interrupting his lustful dream, and the servant said respectfully, "Master, the wind is strong, and it's blowing carefully."
Zhou Yanru smiled faintly, "It's okay, it's all hot air, my body and bones are not so delicate, by the way, is Tianjin Wei almost here?"
”The servant said respectfully, "There is still a waterway of dozens of miles to Tianjin Wei." ”Zhou Yanru nodded, "Pass the order and rest in Tianjin Wei tonight." ”"Yes!"
The servant replied respectfully.After Zhou Yanru finished pretending to be obscene, he tightened his cloak and returned to the cabin, although the river was blowing hot wind, but this guy didn't pay attention to maintaining his body on weekdays, and his night life was too rich, so that his body had already been hollowed out.This strong wind blows, and it is seasick!
Zhou Yanru is about to die!
He urgently needs to go to the land to have a good rest now, eat something first, then get a good night's sleep, and finally arrive in the capital refreshingly and invite Chongzhen to pet!
The big ship rode the wind and waves, and soon arrived at the boundary of Tianjin Wei, and you could see people coming and going on the dock from a distance, including richly dressed merchants, pretentious scholars, and of course, more poor men who sold coolies.Zhou Yanru smiled, "It's not a loss to protect the coastal defense outside, and the inner guard Shenjing, this Tianjin Wei's dock is really big." ”The corners of Fang Zhenghua's mouth twitched, recently this Zhou Yanru has become more and more fond of pretending, he really doesn't understand what the relationship between the outer defense and coastal defense, the inner guard Shenjing, and the dock is really big?
These officials, one by one, like to show off, as if they know everything, phew!
Although the relationship between Fang Zhenghua and Zhou Yanru was not very good, the superficial harmony had to be maintained, and the two pretended to be polite, and then walked out of the cabin side by side.As soon as the big ship is docked!
Countless poor coolies had already rushed over, hoping to find some work to carry things, and these poor men were all tattered and tired, and they were all bankrupt peasants, who had to guard the docks in order to make a living.Zhou Yanru and Fang Zhenghua crawled on the boat, and these poor coolies who were working hard for life rushed forward frantically and worked hard to promote themselves.Because now Zhou Yanru and Fang Zhenghua are wearing civilian clothes, and the officers and soldiers brought by Xichang and Zhou Yanru are also wearing ordinary people's clothes.Everyone was about to be squeezed out by the poor coolies, especially Zhou Yanru, who had been dizzy for a long time, and now he was even more dizzy.However, Zhou Yanru was still smiling, with a kind face, but Fang Zhenghua had a handsome face, and he glanced at Xichang Fanzi.As soon as Zhongxichang was about to expel these poor coolies, he saw a group of officers and soldiers coming over, led by a burly warrior.As soon as the officers and soldiers came, they showed their swords and drove away these poor coolies.The leading warrior was even more angry, and scolded, "Damn, you poor people are all out of the way for labor and capital, and you have offended the court officials, and labor and management have cut you, get out!"
Get lost!
Get out!"
The leading warrior rolled three times in a row, shouting that he was full of energy, and the frightened coolies retreated one after another.Since ancient times, the people have not pestered officials!
In the eyes of the common people, officials are very terrible existences, especially these poor coolies are landless peasants, and their fear of officers and soldiers is even deeper into the bone marrow."
Admiral Fang, Zhou Shangshu!"
The martial artist bowed, "The last general Tianjin Wei commanded Huang Chunhai to see the two adults, the two adults have been tired all the way, the last general has already prepared a banquet for the two adults to pick up the wind and wash the dust, just collided with the two coolies, the last general will immediately take down the people, detain and punish." ”Because of the regional particularity of Tianjin Wei, there was no prefect here, and its highest commander was the commander of Tianjin Wei.Although there were governors, the governors of Tianjin Wei did not manage local civil affairs, and were not even local officials.It was this time that the two of them were greeted by the highest official of Tianjin Wei, Huang Chunhai, the commander of Tianjin Wei.Zhou Yanru was a little dissatisfied with Huang Chunhai actually putting his name behind Fang Zhenghua's name.Fang Zhenghua is just a gelding dog, just a Xichang Admiral, especially not a Bingbi eunuch who is also a Xichang Admiral, why put his name in front of the official's name to bully the official, just a Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhou Yanru hated in his heart, but his face was not obvious, he took the first step in front of Fang Zhenghua, and said happily: "General Huang, don't be polite, this official carrying Shang Fang's sword to the place is disaster relief, not enjoyment, the banquet is simple, not extravagant and wasteful."
There are also these coolies, they are also poor, they are just for a living, what is the crime" Zhou Yanru said quite artistically.not only shows that he has Shang Fang's sword in his hand, his status is higher than Fang Zhenghua, but also makes a look of loving the people like a son, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely like it!
Zhou Yanru has long figured out Chongzhen's temperament, although His Majesty the Emperor has killed a lot of people, but in fact, he has the softest heart and the most sympathy for the poor.Zhou Yanru felt that if he could also make a sympathetic appearance for the poor man, the spy would inevitably report to His Majesty the Emperor, and wouldn't he be more favored by His Majesty the Emperor, or the bargaining chip for his promotion to the cabinet.
