Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

He looked at the medical books still spread out on the table, and asked casually, "How is your pharmaceutical workshop going?"

"Which one is the emperor asking?"

Zhu Jianshen was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that there are more than one?"

"There was one built in Jiangnan, and last year it received 20 taels of silver in dividends. The one in the capital has a bigger stall, and more partners have been brought in, so I can't think of losing money."

Zhu Jianshen looked at her with great interest: "You are good at dancing with long sleeves."

Fang Yuanzhi smiled lightly: "It's because I'm good at dancing with long sleeves. It's because of the emperor's face. Father-in-law Liu Yongcheng, the British government, and the Hou's residence of Huichang, who doesn't know which onion I am? Others just look at the face of these few families. , come to hold a show."

Zhu Jianshen saw that her brows and eyes were pale and her smile was shallow, and her mood suddenly improved a lot.

She is a woman, how can she win over so many forces, if it is not for herself, why bother to engage in such a big battle.

"You're really not afraid of losing your money, when someone will call you?"

"That's why I keep reading medical books, developing new products, and I have negotiated with the people in Taiyuan Hospital. If there are good medicines pushed over, there will be dividends every year. Many people have great power. I am alone, after all, my ability is limited. .”

Zhu Jianshen was slightly surprised.She has an exquisite mind, not only has excellent medical skills, but also is very familiar with the way of business.

Zhu Jianshen looked around and asked, "Do you have anything here to cushion your stomach?"

Fang Yuanzhi blinked: "It is said that the palace will have a banquet tonight, your majesty, are you not full?"

Zhu Jianshen smiled helplessly: "It's just a scene." He was also afraid of being poisoned.

Fang Yuanzhi thought for a while, and went to the small tea room outside Wenyuan Pavilion.

Wenyuan Pavilion is full of books, and it is most afraid of fire, so the small tea room is an independent building.

Zhu Jianshen followed.

Fang Yuanzhi took out a small pot, washed it and started to boil the noodles.

She explained while busy: "Our manager here is not bad, he has prepared some rice noodles. The people on duty at night are too cold, so they can cook something to warm up."

There are no vegetables, only two eggs are beaten into it.

"This egg was given by Xiao Xiazi from Shangshijian. His brother broke his back a while ago, and I healed it for him."

Not long after, two bowls of white boiled noodles came out of the pot.Fang Yuanzhi poured out the vinegar from a small bottle, tasted it, then poured some into each bowl, and sprinkled some salt.

"If you don't dislike it, just pad your stomach."

Fang Yuanzhi moved out of a small table in the corner of the small tea room, wiped it off, and sat opposite each other, each with a bowl of noodles.

After tasting it deeply, Zhu Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "The craftsmanship is much better than last time."

The last time was outside the city of Yangzhou.

Fang Yuanzhi smiled and said nothing.

The hot noodle soup has a light and delicious taste, and it warms up the whole body after eating.

After eating the noodles, Fang Yuanzhi made tea, then fetched water to rinse the bowls and chopsticks. While busy, he said, "When I was in Guizhou, I couldn't get used to the food there, so I had to cook it myself. Later, Junxin taught me some things. He was born as a poor boy, his whole family was gone since he was a child, so he has to know everything."

Zhu Jianshen remained silent.

He came here to seek comfort, and hearing her mention his ex-ex, he only found it harsh.

She resented herself for pampering others and stabbed herself on purpose, right?
Fang Yuanzhi came over to sit down after finishing his work, took a teacup and said, "When he first left, I couldn't understand it, and I hated him a little bit. But now, I finally understand him.

There is such a passage in our place: Life is precious, but love is more expensive.For the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away. "

After finishing speaking, Fang Yuanzhi glanced at Zhu Jianshen with a faint smile.

Zhu Jian looked back at her in a daze.

He really wanted to ask her: "I gave you freedom, why did you come back?"

In the end, the question was still not asked.

After a while, he will still send her out of the palace.

After the prince was born, his life was not in his hands. If he died suddenly one day, no one in the palace would sincerely protect her anymore.

Seeing that the two of them still had nothing to say, Fang Yuanzhi said, "The Emperor ate and drank, so it's time to go back." An order was issued to expel the guests.

Zhu Jianshen stood up reluctantly, let her put on the cloak for herself, and walked out slowly.

After walking a few steps, he looked back, but she was still standing there, watching her go.

How much he wanted to hold her hand and go back to Wenhua Palace with her, the place where they used to spend countless beautiful nights together.

But can he be so shameless?

Seeing that he did not leave, Fang Yuanzhi waved his hands and smiled, but seeing that he was still not moving, he simply went back to Wenyuan Pavilion and closed the gate.

Leaning against the door behind him.She seemed to be out of strength, and her whole body was limp.

Can't she understand his reluctant eyes?
Doesn't she long for that warm embrace?

But she also has her own pride.

She is not a pug that other people will happily surround her with.

She can watch from a distance, but she will not dedicate herself easily.

……

In the first month, there was a lot of trouble in the court.

Regarding the emperor's right to appoint and remove personnel, Zhu Jianshen held on to it on the grounds of the old system of the ancestors and deceiving the court. In the end, the six subjects and thirteen officials pleaded guilty. Monthly salary, to warn others.

There is really not much time left for him.

He wants to replace the court with loyal, capable and promising courtiers while he still has the right to speak.

The Ministry of Officials petitioned for the dismissal of [-] officials.This is equivalent to a major earthquake in the officialdom.

Within a few days, Li Bing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Prince Shaobao, was impeached and listed thirteen major crimes.

Zhu Jianshen knew that Li Bing's reforms were too radical and caused public outrage.

However, he was still ready to show enough goodwill to Li Bing.He said: "Li Bingyuan was sponsored by many officials. How could there be so many violations? Order the three courts to discuss this matter with many officials."

In the end, Zhu Jianshenge resigned from Li Bing's post as Prince Taibao and ordered him to retire.

A more serious matter was that Zhang Lun, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, investigated and dismissed 96 officials.Most of these officials are members of the Jiangnan officialdom.

This is tantamount to a major earthquake in Jiangnan officialdom.

Zhang Lun was impeached soon.

But Xu Pu, the core force of the Jiangnan faction, couldn't sit still.

He couldn't witness the turmoil in the rear of Jiangnan with his own eyes.

In order to stabilize the officialdom in Jiangnan, he had to ask for leave to go home on the grounds of visiting his relatives to deal with the loud complaints.

Anyway, there is a merchant in the capital who has won the trust of the emperor, and Yao Kui has also won the emperor's favor after experiencing the weeping and admonition of Wenhua Gate.

The self-disruption of the Jiangnan faction led Peng Shi, the chief assistant, to reach an agreement with Cui Gong of the Beiren faction. After Li Bing became an official, Cui Gong quickly took over the vacant post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

……

Fang Yuanzhi felt a headache from the Queen Mother Zhou's scolding of her.

The Empress Dowager Zhou kept her in the palace to let her shine and act as a mediator to ease the relationship between mother and child.She is fine, besides reading books, she is tinkering with her pharmaceutical workshop.

A woman's family is entangled with a large group of powerful nobles to do business. Isn't this using power for personal gain? (end of this chapter)
