Chapter 80 How can he enter
Chen Shou and a few confidants, after finalizing the details, took a pot of wine and excitedly took people to see Miao De.
Miao De's yard was very quiet, and he was half lying on a rattan chair to bask in the sun.
"Godfather, I'm here."
Miao De smiled and didn't open his eyes. When the footsteps were approaching, he asked, "You kid don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Tell me, what are the damages?"
Chen Shou hung the wine aside and smiled and said, "Godfather is wronged me, I'm here to see you."
"Oh?" Miao De didn't believe it.
Chen Shou smiled and said, "Ask something by the way."
Miao De acted as if to kick him, and cursed in a funny and angrily manner: "I knew you can't change your sex, tell me, what's the matter."
"The birdmen from the Martial Arts Department interfered with it. Our Golden Feather Guards have never been paid. We can't pay for so many people out of our own pockets. We discussed it and prepared to ask His Majesty to collect the commercial tax of the Hu people. What do you think?"
Miao De pondered for a moment, his eyes showed a hint of solemnity, and said, "It is not a small matter to say whether this matter is big or small. I think you should ask Your Majesty to agree, and you cannot just say it is your salary. It is better to say that you should increase your merits and build a few Taoist temples."
"What kind of merits can be added to the Taoist temple? Isn't that the Buddhist path?"
Miao De looked at him and said with a smile: "What's wrong with learning from it? This is someone's cleverness. You have to learn more."
"I understand...hehe, ginger is still so spicy."
Miao De was the person who served Emperor Gengyuan for the longest time. He knew that every rebellious scale of the old emperor would not make any big mistakes as long as he agreed to it. Even if there were minor mistakes, it would be irrelevant.
"Godfather, then I'll go."
Miao De struggled to stand up, but was pressed by Chen Shou on the rattan chair, "Don't be troubled by this little thing with me."
Miao De thought about it and nodded, "Shou Ge'er is a proper person, so we don't have to worry about it. Okay, you can go by yourself. If you don't have our family to watch in the palace, you have to be more disciplined."
His eyes were full of deep meaning and he glared at Chen Shou. This godson was too brave and even if he guarded himself, he would dare to go against Concubine Wu. That was the imperial concubine.
Although Miao De has been in the palace for so many years and has seen many people having an ambiguous relationship with the imperial concubine, most of them have no good results.
Chen Shou seemed not to understand what he meant, so he smiled carelessly, turned around, waved his hand and left the compound.
Zhao Hong at the door had already been waiting, "Sir, where are you going?"
"Palace!"
Chen Shou climbed into the car and thought in his mind how to fool Emperor Gengyuan.
Now I am the great savior of Emperor Gengyuan. As long as it is not too out of order, I can't do anything I can speak.
Of course, this is because Chen Shou has been holding on and has hardly mentioned the conditions. If he goes to the palace to ask for something once a day, he will probably be even more annoyed by Emperor Yuan.
When he arrived outside Chunhe Hall, Chen Shou asked his men to wait outside and followed the guards into the corridor outside the hall.
A group of eunuchs and palace maids surrounded by a girl in the palace dress, and were walking out. Chen Shou passed by them, and glanced at them with a shocking glance and suddenly realized that this was Princess Ji Luo Zhao Jinnu.
Unexpectedly, the little girl was so thin in her clothes that she almost couldn't recognize her... During the summer palace, she was deliberately blocked by Concubine Wu, so she looked at her roughly. At this time, she was close and realized that this was really a beautiful country.
Her eyes were round and big, and she could clearly see her eyes. Her bright pupils were as lively as black mercury. Her brows were like the moon, her delicate facial features were like jewelry, and her cheeks were round, beautiful and shiny. No matter how you look at them, she looked like a toy doll with perfect workmanship.
Thinking of the graceful plumpness seen in the bathhouse that day, Chen Shouqing couldn't help but swallowed...
Oh no, if this young and tender face... why is my heart pounding? That's right, it's the feeling of heartbeat. Is it love coming?!
"Stop!" Zhao Jinnu shouted and asked the eunuch next to him, "Why can he go in? I can only pay my respects outside?"
It turned out that the little princess came to pay tribute to her father, but Emperor Gengyuan was addicted to the practice of Taoism and did not allow any children and concubines to visit her. She could only pay tribute to her four or five walls outside through several houses. Fortunately, Zhao Jinnu was the most beloved princess and could not accept it for a while.
The old eunuch smiled and nodded and said, "Your Majesty has an order. Chen Changshi can go in and meet the saint at any time, without any notification."
Chen Shou chuckled softly and said, "Princess is polite. If the princess is fine, I will go in?"
Chen Shou smiled politely and then continued to walk forward. Zhao Jinnu looked at his back, making her teeth itchy, "Hmph, what's the smug, let's go!"
In the room of Emperor Gengyuan, even the placement of a cushion is very particular.
He took the "Nine-Turning Golden Elixir" specially made by Doctor Liu, and his body and spirit gradually got better and better.
This made Emperor Gengyuan even more excited. He thought he had found a shortcut to practicing Taoism and almost fell into madness.
Chen Shou had no doubt at all. If he had let him know the truth, he would be pissed to death now. Nothing could be more harmful than the shattering of hope.
"Your Majesty, Assistant Chen is here." The little eunuch whispered in his ear.
"Oh?" Emperor Gengyuan opened his eyes and immediately smiled on his face, "You are here just in time. This section of Guizang Lianshan has a few places that I can't understand. Come and explain it to me one or two."
Chen Shou had already done his homework, stepped forward and sat down at the cushion beside him, and talked with the old emperor for about a quarter of an hour.
Chen Shou said while secretly watching Emperor Gengyuan's expression. Seeing that he was tired, Chen Shou immediately said, "Your Majesty, let's go here today. Practicing Taoism requires gradual progress. The most taboo is to be greedy for too much."
This statement was exactly the same as Emperor Gengyuan's meaning, and he smiled and said, "You have to go to the palace more often. Only by talking to you can I feel enlightened."
Chen Shou said in his heart, if you ask other Taoist priests, they will tell you some of the great principles of the Book of Changes. I will fool you with immortality. You will tell you whatever you want. If you have any reason, you will make it up. Anyway, you will be willing to vote for your preferences, and it will be strange if you don’t like it.
Before leaving, Chen Shou clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I intend to build four Taoist temples for Your Majesty in the four suburbs of Bianliang, implying the number of the Eight Trigrams of the Qiankun. However, I am afraid that the people will be exhausted and the money will be damaged..."
"It's okay! I asked the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works to allocate money to you. Even if the construction is just a matter of construction, it cannot delay the great affairs of Taoism!" Emperor Geng Yuan waved his hand and did not hesitate to pay any attention to money.
Chen Shou cursed in his heart, he was such a foolish monarch.
"Your Majesty, I asked when I came that the treasury was indeed not much money, and even my Jinyu Guard did not receive any salary. However, I have an idea that I can not delay Your Majesty's major affairs without spending a penny on the court."
"Oh? What's the idea?"
Chen Shou laughed and said, "I look at Bianliang and the exchanges between Hu and merchants are like a rush, all of which are to earn money from our Central Plains. I intend to collect his business tax and build a Taoist temple for Your Majesty."
"Accurate!"
