184: Wandering in vain(1/2)

Princess Heng had weak legs and almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, she was helped up by King Heng.

At this time, he was no longer the prince, but just Zhao Zhen, a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"I don't know..." He looked at Zhou Yu.

"My surname is Zhou!"

"Mr. Zhou, Caomin still has a two-in-one house in the city. Can that house be left for Caomin?"

"This is the only place?" Zhou Yu asked with a brow.

"This is the only place!" Zhao Zhen nodded.

"Then I will make the decision and leave that house for you. Within two days, you will sort out the accounts in the mansion and hand over to the prefectural palace, and then move out of the royal palace. In the future, this royal palace will be used as a school in Hengcheng for local children to study."

"yes!"

"In addition, if you have land in your hands, you can take it to the prefectural prefecture and exchange it for silver and money according to the market price. With this money, it will be enough for your family to live a rich life."

Zhou Yu didn't stay here for a long time, so he turned around and took General Yao to the prefecture.

If the land of Hengcheng is to be reclaimed, the local prefect must do it for him. He is not afraid of the local prefect doing things secretly. After all, the court will come down to investigate in secret. Once he finds that someone is full of his personal pockets, he will definitely die according to His Majesty's temper.

As the army withdrew, Zhao Zhen said to the people around him: "Now you have seen it too. I am no longer the prince. If I want to leave, I have no intention to stop it. If I want to stay, I may have to suffer with me."

The soldiers of the royal palace naturally could not leave with Zhao Zhen. The common people raised private soldiers, which was a serious crime of beheading, and he was clear about it.

The housekeeper in the mansion and the maids who followed Zhao Zhen and his wife, kneeled down and said that they would continue to follow them.

In this way, when Zhao Zhen left, he was the manager and seven servants and maids, and there was nothing else.

"Qinyin, how much land is there in the mansion?"

"There are about 5,000 acres." Zhang Qinyin said: "It's all good land."

"In this way, ours can take away 40,000 taels of silver, which is enough for our family to live comfortably." Zhao Zhen was already content. These factors are by no means a small number of dollars, a wealthy family is a standard for a rich man.

"Yes!" Zhang Qinyin nodded. It seems that whether she can be a princess is not that important, at least her husband and children are still there.

"All the women in the back house have been dismissed. Aunt Sun gave birth to a daughter for me and took them away."

"..." Zhang Qinyin felt sour in her heart, and even felt a little grateful to the empress.

He was the prince, and there were seven or eight women in the back house. Aunt Sun raised it from her maid when she was pregnant with her legitimate son. The others were sent by local bureaucrats and wealthy gentry. Although the prince occasionally stayed in their room, he always asked them to drink the soup for avoiding children.

Even so, she felt uncomfortable when she saw these women.

Now, those women will disappear from her eyes.

As for Aunt Sun, there is nothing he can do. After all, she can’t afford to give birth to a daughter, so she can just take it away.

The royal palace has become lively in the past two days.

Especially the servants and servants in the royal palace packed up their fine and soft things to escape.

However, when they fled from the palace, they were blocked by the soldiers and forced to check their packages. Those who did not meet their identities could not be taken away.

This inspection found a lot of entrainments, which were obviously from the royal palace.

Zhao Zhen spent one day tidying up clothes with his family, and the next day he left the palace with his personal belongings.

Zhou Yu took a thick stack of land deeds, checked what they took away, and asked someone to let him go, and only told Zhao Zhen that he could go to the prefectural prefecture to collect silver tomorrow.

"Young Master Zhao!" On the third day, Zhao Zhen brought the supervisor and servants to the prefecture and took away five large boxes of silver. Before leaving, he was stopped by Zhou Yu.

"What is Lord Zhou's advice?" Zhao Zhen turned around and asked with his fists.

"Your Majesty has not done anything to your family, so other people naturally cannot bully you at will. If there are local people or bureaucrats and rich gentry, Mr. Zhao will not have to bear it and just sue the government." He glanced at the local bureaucrats in the hall, "If the government is unwilling to promote this justice, then their officials will be over. This article not only applies to Mr. Zhao, Hengcheng... No, it is called Langya now, and all the people of Langya are also listed. If the government does not act, you can jointly write a letter to the capital. With Your Majesty's temper, as long as the evidence is conclusive, corrupt officials and local bureaucrats who do not act, they will not escape death."

"..." All the bureaucrats in the hall shivered in one go.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhou Yu's elegant face and felt a little sour for a moment.

Because of the demise of Nanli and the new policy of the Great Zhou, the collision between the two sides and the mixed feelings were mixed.

"Thank you, sir!" He bowed deeply with his fists.

"Young Master Zhao walk slowly!"

"The grass-roots retreat."

Langya, Lang is beautiful jade, and it also directly aims at the empress's name, which shows her love for this place.

At least in Zhao Zhen’s opinion, Langya sounds better than Hengcheng, but the meaning of both place names is good.

But Hengcheng sounds much more straightforward, while Langya has a very beautiful artistic conception, which is slightly better.

Zhou Yu then beat the local prefect and then continued to rush to Chang'an with General Yao two days later.

The road is destined to be peaceful, and Zhao Zhen compromises here, and other vassal kings may find it difficult to accept the reality, so the army of 100,000 he led came in handy.

In the Shengjing side, the court officials who followed Xie Lang had already started to make some furniture and set off for Chang'an.

For a moment, many houses were vacant in Shengjing, but Xu Ting was still the prefect of Shengjing City. He was very satisfied with this. This place was the foundation of the Xu family. As the old capital, His Majesty would definitely not forget it.

Especially when His Highness still lives in the palace until the middle of the year, he must protect it well. Naturally, someone will take care of the palace here, and the monthly salary will be paid from his name as usual.

Si Yan's heart was a little empty.

But his studies ended in the middle of this year, and he would accompany His Highness to Chang'an at that time. Now there is only more than a month left, so he will be able to endure it.

His Majesty had talked to him in private before, asking him to serve as the inspector after graduation to specifically examine the work style of local bureaucrats. This must be someone who is trustworthy. Naturally, he is full of ambition and determined not to disappoint His Majesty.

"Brother, are you leaving too?" That night, Xie Chen ran to the side hall and saw Xie Lian reading the memorial, rushing forward and asking.

"I'm not in a hurry to leave, I'll be with you then." Xie Lian had received Xie Lang's order, asking him to wait until Gong Zhi gave birth to a child and then go to Chang'an together after confinement. It will be around July.

Only then did Xie Chen let go of his heart, he felt very wronged.

"Second sister is so cruel. She hasn't seen me for more than a year."

"She must be thinking about you in her heart. Last time she returned to Beijing, Nanli's army besieged the city, and she had to go. As an emperor, she must protect the people of the world. This is a responsibility and an obligation."

Xie Chen also understood this truth, but he just felt sad.

"It's late at night, go and have a rest early. I'll have to go to class tomorrow. I have to do my best for this exam, otherwise I won't be able to explain to you when I see Your Majesty."

"Oh!" Xie Chen nodded, turned around and left dejectedly.

The milk tablets grow a little bit longer because they are produced in the system, and the growth period is very slow and their natural life span will increase.

In the past year, if this little guy hadn't been with Xie Chen, Xie Chen would have run away from home long ago.

When I returned to the bed, my milk slices were already hanging up next to the pillow on the bed and fell asleep.

Hearing the movement, it raised its head and saw that it was the little master. It made a soft "meow" sound, then raised its head and watched the little master come over.

Xie Chen stepped forward and hugged the milk tablet in his arms, burying his head in its soft cat hair.

"Second sister is so cruel. She left us behind for more than a year."

"Meow~" The milk slices leaned over the little master's chin, stuck out his little tongue and licked it, "Meow~"

Xie Chen seemed to feel a little more comfortable. He rubbed his little head, placed it next to the pillow, took off his shoes and went into the quilt.

"Okay, let's sleep, we'll go to school tomorrow."

“Meow~”

Xie Lang was still staying up late at this time, with thick memorials in front of him, all sent from the bottom. Many things have to be dealt with quickly.

Zi Jin couldn't help but yawn. Zi Pei on the opposite side seemed to be infected and opened her mouth.

Just halfway through the fight, he met Xie Lang's sight and was directly suppressed.

The two of them hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty forgive me!"

Xie Lang looked at the bright moon outside and asked, "When is it?"

"It's almost 4th update when you go back to Your Majesty."

Xie Lang nodded, "You two go down, there is no need to serve here."

"I will serve Your Majesty and sleep!" Zi Jin said hurriedly.

"No, I won't sleep tonight, go down."

"yes!"

The two left the study in a nervous mood and saw two imperial guards standing outside the door, but Eunuch Gao was not guarding outside.

When he walked out of the hall, he saw that Eunuch Gao was walking over with a lantern in one hand and a food box in the other.

"Eunuch Gao."

Gao Zhen glanced at the two of them and said, "Go down."

"Yes!" Since Eunuch Gao said so, the two of them were relieved. His Majesty should not be angry.

After sending the two girls away, Gao Zhen stepped into the imperial study with the food box.

"Your Majesty, I asked the Royal Seating Room to make you a midnight snack. You can eat something before reading the memorial."

"Then eat something, I'm just hungry." Xie Lang threw away the memorial in his hand, stood up, stretched his waist and walked to the table outside to sit down.
