"It is said that the great country belongs to the Heavenly Kingdom, but how big is this great country? Have you ever been there, Your Majesty? Have you been there?"

Jia Rong placed the drawings on the emperor's table and covered the memorials.

"You have seen the pictures of Jiangnan painted by Zhu Yizun. But you have never seen with your own eyes what Jiangnan is like.

Why don't we go to Jiangnan in person and appreciate the scenery of Jiangnan."

Eunuch Xia saw that the emperor was very interested and said, "No, Your Majesty. Going to the south of the Yangtze River is a big deal, so we have to discuss it with the ministers of the DPRK."

"It's not difficult."

The emperor raised his hand to signal Eunuch Xia not to speak.

Jia Rong placed her finger on the steamboat picture and said, "We are going on a steamboat trip. We will leave in February next year and arrive in Yangzhou in March.

Li Bai once said: Fireworks descend in Yangzhou in March. When I go to Yangzhou next month, it will coincide with the Flower Festival. By then, the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan will be beautiful, and the beauties will go out to play.

I visited Suzhou and Hangzhou in May and saw the beauty of Suzhou and Hangzhou gardens and the West Lake."

"Can this be done?" The emperor hesitated.

Jia Rong asked: "Your Majesty, do you have money?"

"You know better than me whether there is money in the inner treasury."

“Then it’s just that, the treasury doesn’t want to pay, so you can still travel with your own money.

Besides, when it comes to Jiangnan, which government will not pick you up?"

The Emperor: "It's not good to waste money and people."

"There are the most factories in Jiangnan, and the people in the government offices are extremely rich.

Jiangnan has the most wealthy businessmen. If you don't spend some money for them, they won't know how to spend it."

Jia Rong added: "Jiangnan is rich and luxurious, and there are many powerful people. The emperor has to suppress them.

When powerful forces unite with the government to oppress the people, they can still eliminate harm for the people."

The emperor's eyes lit up, this is a good reason.

Eunuch Xia waved to Jia Rong secretly: Master Jia, stop talking.

Encouraging the emperor to leave Kyoto is a major crime.

Jia Rong pointed to the Yangtze River and said: "When Jiangnan is over, let's go up the Yangtze River and go to Shuchuan to experience Jiangnan.

Along the way, I went to beat up the big families and garrison troops in various places to clean up the bad local customs."

The emperor nodded repeatedly, he was moved by this statement.

Eunuch Xia's eyes widened: He actually wants to go to Shuzhong.

Eunuch Xia hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Shu is in danger."

Jia Rong said: "The people in Yunnan and Guizhou only know the chieftain, not the emperor.

We can inspect the southwest chieftains and spread the emperor's favor on that land."

"At that time, the emperor can command thousands of troops. If anyone disobeys the emperor, he will use thousands of troops to crush the stronghold."

"Okay, show me the majesty of Dazhou."

Eunuch Xia was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is too dangerous, we can't go."

Jia Rong began to tell the emperor about the detailed plan.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Jia Rong, Eunuch Xia ran out to find someone.

"Master Zhang, something is going to happen..."

Yang Shoufu, Zhang Ding and others learned the news and immediately went to Qianqing Palace.

When they entered the main hall, they saw Jia Rong and the emperor playing chess.

Yang Shoufu looked around and didn't see the drawings that Eunuch Xia mentioned.

The emperor asked: "What's the matter with you coming here?"

"I heard that the emperor is going to the south of the Yangtze River and to the southwest. Is this true?"

The emperor supported his knees with one hand, tilted his body and said to Yang Shoufu: "Where did you hear this?"

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Xia and said, "I overheard a few words outside and made random guesses. You are quite capable."

"I don't dare, but the emperor..."

"That's enough. If you continue to be so reckless, find another place. You won't be able to stay here."

Eunuch Xia was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

After the emperor allowed him to resign, Yang Shoufu was no longer afraid of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Jia Rong is very scheming and doesn't act according to common sense. Your Majesty, it's better to be careful."

Jia Rong: Old man, it’s unethical for you to speak to me in front of me.

"Going to the south of the Yangtze River is a serious matter and will waste people and money. It's better not to go there. If there is another unrest in the southwest, you can't go there."

The emperor hummed, held the chess piece in his hand, stared at the chessboard, and said: "Since Aiqing plans to leave, let's leave the court affairs alone."

Yang Shoufu: I care about you and the world, but you actually want to drive me away.

Haven’t you seen Wei Chen’s fierce loyalty?

Yang Shoufu was heartbroken when he thought that his hard work over the years had been ignored by the emperor.

Yang Shoufu glanced at Jia Rong and cursed in his heart: You are a treacherous minister.

Seeing the emperor's indifference, Zhang Ding knew that he could not confront the emperor, so he said: "If the emperor wants to travel, he must make a long-term plan.

If the emperor wants to leave Kyoto, please inform him two months in advance so that the veterans can arrange military commanders to protect the emperor."

The emperor said nothing, neither leaving nor staying.

"I take my leave."

The heartbroken Yang Shoufu no longer had any nostalgia for the imperial court, so he left Qianqing Palace and went directly out of the palace.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t sit in the position of chief assistant.

"From today on, I will completely resign from my official position. I will leave Kyoto in one month and return to my ancestral home to retire."

Yang Shoufu breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a pity that the emperor no longer had any intention of retaining him. When he received the memorial of his resignation, the emperor immediately approved it.

The matter of Yang Shoufu's resignation has been finalized.

Jia Rong: "There is an unexpected gain."

On the night when Zhang Ding was confirmed to be the first minister of the cabinet, Zhang Dingyuan did not dare to set off fireworks, let alone firecrackers.

The entire brothel in Fenghuang Tower is closed to all visitors, but the strings and bamboos are still flowing and the sound of frolic is endless.

On the first floor, there are all dandies.

Above the second floor are senior officials.

The Tianzihao room on the second floor belongs exclusively to Jia Rong.

Zhang Dingyuan took Zhou Jiazi to drink and listen to music with Jia Rong.

A row of dancers wearing two pieces of cloth danced the Hu Xuan dance.

Zhang Dingyuan: "Thank you brother-in-law for your help. I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine."

"It's an unintentional act, and it creates a shadow without intention."

Zhang Dingyuan: "All the women here are specially selected for you. You can get whatever you want. Even if you want them all, it won't be a problem."

"Bah, am I a pioneer?"

"If you want to thank me, please help me arrange a few people.

For the sake of the Queen, I promised to give others some benefits.

Help me transfer a few people to the capital. It doesn’t matter how big or small the official position is, as long as they can be officials in the capital."

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

The two female demons entangled them. Jia Rong hugged her from left to right, raising and lowering her hands.

Chen Junjie hurriedly climbed the stairs and came to the private room.

Zhang Dingyuan immediately greeted: "Mr. Chen, come quickly and have a drink together."

Chen Junjie waved his hand to indicate that he would not drink.

He went to Jia Rong's ear and said: "I just received the memorial.

Floods and landslides occurred in Jingmen Prefecture, destroying more than 20,000 official and residential buildings, and killing more than 2,000 people. Floods occurred in both Ruzhou and Lu'an Prefectures, and houses were destroyed..."

Jia Rong immediately let go of the person on his body, pushed the head away from his crotch, stood up and asked someone to help him tie his belt.

"Have the other pavilion elders entered the palace?"

"Not yet. The person on duty today is the Grand Bachelor of Wenhua Palace. When he gets the news, he will ask me to come to you."

Chen Junjie was on duty at the Ministry of Industry today and ran here when he got the news.

After the two women helped him tidy up his clothes, Jia Rong left immediately.
