"Your Majesty, I would like to see you, Master of Ceremony, Ma Zhang." At this moment, a young father-in-law suddenly shouted loudly outside the palace.

"Please."

Zhang Chou, led by the young eunuch, walked towards Lao Zhu.

Zhang Chou knelt on the ground, bowed and said: "Little Zhang Chou bows to the great emperor, the great emperor pays homage to Jin'an!"

"Master Zhang, you're welcome. Is there any progress on the sacrifice?"

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. Tomorrow we can go to the Temple of Heaven to perform sacrifices.

Lao Zhu said to him: "Sacrifice is a very important matter, don't delay it."

"I don't dare to relax at all. Tomorrow's ceremony will definitely go according to plan."

Lao Zhu responded: "Okay, you can go."

After Zhang Zhao left, a young eunuch took Zhou Cheng to the Qianqing Hall.

Zhou Cheng swaggered into the palace. When Lao Zhu saw him, he immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Master Zhou, you have suffered a lot during this time. Wang Jinghong, please invite Mr. Zhou to the table!"

Zhou Chengsi didn't show any pretense and sat down directly on the stool Wang Jinghong prepared for him.

He took the people of the Ming Dynasty as his own responsibility, but he did not expect to arouse the suspicion of Lao Zhu.

Although it is said that ancient emperors were very suspicious people, why did they seal the newspaper at this juncture when sending money to the court?

He is very angry!

Zhou Cheng sarcastically said, "You know my injustice, right? In that case, why did you collude with them to frame me?"

"The money I earned was all collected by His Royal Highness himself. Is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who said that I embezzled money from the treasury crazy? "..."

"Your Highness, how can you believe these people's lies and think that this king is a man who only sees money?"

Lao Zhu blinked and murmured in his heart: Can this be wrong?

You came here to reveal your identity in time travel, isn’t it because you don’t want to be an ordinary person, but because you don’t want to be a rich person?

However, Lao Zhu also knew where he was wrong, so he said with a smile: "My lord has suffered a lot in the past two days. I have already put those who framed your lord in prison."

Zhou Cheng smiled helplessly, "What about our newspaper's losses? Newspapers also have to make money, which is tens of millions of taels of silver."

Lao Zhu smiled and said: "I have issued an edict to resume the newspaper's business."

"Young master, please rest assured, I will repay you tenfold for today's revenge."

"Now Mrs. Li is on trial in Dali Temple, and I will seek justice for you."

After Lao Zhu said these words to Zhou Chenggang, Zhu Biao hurried into the hall.

"Father! Something bad is happening!"

Lao Zhu stood up with an unhappy look on his face: "Boss, why are you so rude these days? Why didn't you say hello when you entered the palace?"

"The situation is critical, Mrs. Li has committed suicide in prison."

Lao Zhu was shocked: "What!?"

Afraid of death?

Mrs. Li actually died?

Zhou Chengdao said, "Is this the end? Doesn't this make my affairs more complicated?"

Lao Zhu looked solemn: "I'm afraid someone did this deliberately. Even Wang Hu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, drowned due to an accident. The truth of this matter is becoming increasingly difficult to find out."<

/p>

Zhou Chengdao: "These people are so shameless! They actually killed an official? Your Majesty, that old guy Hu Weiyong must have done this, but we can't provide any real evidence yet!"

Lao Zhu took a breath and sighed: "I'm afraid Hu Weiyong is not the only one involved in this matter."

"Are you talking about the dignitaries in Huaixi?"

"I can't think of anyone else who can do this."

Zhu Biao said in a deep voice: "Father, this matter must be carefully planned, otherwise the impact will be too great and the officials in the court will be in trouble."

Lao Zhu sneered: "We have disliked these old guys for a long time, and now it's time to settle the score with them. Zhou Cheng, your mind works very fast, what do you think we should do next?"

Zhou Cheng curled his lips and said in a strange tone: "Your Majesty, you don't have to ask me, right? What I say is what I say? Haven't I already lost the king's trust?"

Lao Zhu was speechless. He never imagined that Zhou Cheng would be so unyielding in his hatred.

Zhu Biao advised: "Mr. Zhou, when my father asked Mrs. Li to copy the newspaper, it was not because he was worried about you, he just wanted to protect you."

"Protect me?" Zhou Cheng looked at Lao Zhu in disbelief.

How could Lao Zhu, the majestic king of a country, do such a good deed?

He does not hesitate to take action. For him, even if it means a hundred lives, he will not let go of any life.

How could he be so kind and protect her?

Zhu Biao saw a hint of suspicion in Zhou Cheng's eyes. Zhou Cheng thought the same way. He was also confused about Lao Zhu's approach.

"When I was in court, my father was just pretending. In fact, my father still had great confidence in you. He didn't think you would embezzle money."

"Your Majesty is outside the court, and there are so many people watching. His Majesty has some matters that he cannot decide on his own."

"At that time, if my father had a conflict with the Hu Party because he was protecting you, then those people behind them would most likely hurt you. In this regard, Taiwang Li's Tiger Clan can be said to be second to none.

Zhou Cheng took a deep breath and understood immediately after Zhu Biao's words.

It seems that the nobles in Huaixi have been eyeing me for a long time!

But Lao Zhu is just pretending to hide himself!

On the surface, they asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to investigate the newspaper, but in fact, they asked people from the Ministry of War to find out the true operation of the newspaper while secretly protecting the newspaper, so as to deal with the Hu people.

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but sigh, Lao Zhu, this emperor, is really good at calculating!

This move can be said to have eradicated the root of the problem, giving the Hu family a resounding slap in the face, forcing them to abandon the good and the weak and fall apart in the court.

Zhou Cheng silently praised Lao Zhu in his heart.

Lao Zhu is truly an emperor!

Lao Zhu is masturbating!

This vigorous and resolute approach may have stunned the powerful people in Huaixi.

Zhou Cheng quickly said to Lao Zhu respectfully: "Your Majesty, I was the one who was abrupt just now! Thank you for your protection!"

Lao Zhu smiled and supported Zhou Cheng and said: "Zhou Cheng, you finally know what we think. I don't believe you, and I don't deserve to be this emperor."

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are blind and cannot see the mountains. My respect for you now is as endless and endless as the Yellow River bursting its banks."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he felt happy. He didn't expect Zhou Cheng to be so good at flattering.

"Zhou Cheng, just tell me, what should we do with these old men? What bad ideas are you having?"

Zhou Cheng rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "How about we try to sow discord? Even if you and I break up?"

"And I pretended to be a vassal of these people, infiltrated among them, collected more clues, and finally annihilated these people in one fell swoop."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao looked at each other with serious expressions.

"These treacherous and cunning guys are all scheming people. Do you really want to put yourself in danger?"

Zhu Biao directly rejected it: "Impossible! Father, we can't let Mr. Zhou take risks anymore."

Zhou Cheng slapped Zhu Biao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, now that 'Zigui' is protecting me, those old men can't do anything to me."

"Sir!" Zhu Biao said in a deep voice. You have already seen what happened to Prince Li's Tiger Clan. Each of these old men are cunning people."

"You are the lifeblood of my Ming Dynasty. I don't want you to take risks."

"Father, I cannot listen to Mr. Zhou's suggestion."

Zhou Cheng was very touched that Zhu Biao would defend him in this way.

She never expected that she would be able to make friends like Zhu Biao during her time in the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that Zhu Biao's life was too short!

Otherwise, after Lao Zhu passes away, he will definitely do his best to support Zhu Biao and create a new Ming Dynasty!

Lao Zhu glared at Zhou Cheng and said: "Zhou Cheng, how confident are you in your own strength? If you are not sure, just give up."

"Six points." Zhou Cheng said.

"I understand His Highness's good intentions, but if you don't eradicate this black sheep of the Ming Dynasty, you will ultimately be eliminating harm for the people."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go through fire and water, go through fire and water!"

Zhu Biao was shocked and shouted, "Boss Zhou!"
