Chapter 291 Baoxi Appears

Thanks to readers for their red rewards “1111”.

The criminal Zhang Jing turned the four yards of Luoyang upside down, but found nothing. He found a lot of mixed seals, none of which were a little similar to the treasure seal.

It was already dawn, and it was still more than two hours before Wu. Although the emperor and the Chou King had a bet of three days, Zhang Jing had only two days. Looking at a group of helpless tolerance, Zhang Jing became more and more angry as he thought about it. "The tolerance in Luoyang is really amazing. There are still things that cannot be found in his own home. Okay, you are really good, what am I, Zhang Jing? I am just a minor official in the Ministry of Justice. Thank you for yourselves. After noon today, I am not even a minor official, a commoner. I have no other ability. I have probably only one chance to meet Your Majesty in this life and apologize for guilt. I have no complaints, but everyone, don't expect me to give you a good word to Luoyang!"

Zhang Jing was so angry that there were many of his friends in the Luoyang tolerance. They usually had close contacts, but they did not get help at the most critical moment. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to dispatch his confidants in the capital, otherwise he would be able to dig the entire Luoyang three feet.

Officials from the Ministry of Justice were angry, and the people in Luoyang were silent, and no one dared to defend themselves.

Zhang Jing has no choice but to do anything. Luoyang is not his territory after all, and many ruthless means cannot be used. The time left for him is so short, and I can't help but complain to the emperor: Since I have to retrieve the seal, I should give the corresponding power. The emperor is better, just say a word to make himself find a needle in a haystack.

Zhang Jing forcibly expelled these ideas. He had to meet the emperor before noon. If he showed any dissatisfaction, he would not be dismissed.

Zhang Jing waved his hand and ordered the order to disperse. For the remaining time, he had to think of other ways. Luoyang heroes are not just ugly kings.

Zhang Jing turned around and saw a husband following behind him, smiling as if he had something to say.

"Is there anything wrong?" Zhang Jing said stiffly, unable to call out the person's name.

The husband smiled and said, "Does Lord Zhang still want to continue looking for the treasure seal?"

Zhang Jing's heart moved, his tone immediately calmed down, and he bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm fine."

"I am just a tolerant in Luoyang. I am lucky enough to do things for the adults. I am not worth mentioning. I have an idea that I may be able to survive this disaster safely."

"I wish to hear and see."

"Sir, will you ask someone for help next?"

"Of course, the time limit has not come, so you can't just give up like that."

"I'll ask, who are you looking for?"

"Several local friends." Zhang Jing was vague.

"Well, have you ever thought that the heroes of Luoyang are led by the King of Ugly. Instead of asking others for help, it is better to go directly to the King of Ugly himself."

"The person who bets with His Majesty is the ugly king!"

"That's right, the bet is His Majesty and the Ugly King, not Lord Zhang."

Zhang Jing was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, and became more respectful to her husband's attitude, "How should I come to the door? What gift should I bring?"

The husband laughed and said, "Although he is an official in the court, he is from the Tan family and is considered half a figure in the martial arts world. Why do he have no idea about the ugly king? He doesn't have to take anything and go empty-handed, and the more miserable he behaves, the better."

Zhang Jing pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid that after Your Majesty knows this, he will think I have a strange intention."

"The seal is important, or is it important to have a different intention? Your Majesty's impression of the adults can be gradually changed. Without the seal, there is no question of anything."

As soon as Zhang Jing came to the ground, "Thank you for your guidance, this kindness and virtue, Zhang kept it in mind."

Half an hour later, the criminal Zhang Jing visited the Chou King in an ordinary alley in the East City of Luoyang. He didn't chat for too long and said goodbye quickly, with a serious expression and seemed not very happy. There were rumors that the officials in the capital wanted to force the Chou King to hand over the seal, but failed.

In the military camp, Han Ruzi sent Fang Daye away. The old general was familiar with the place of the match and was not worried about this battle. He was still worried about the northern border. "If the Huns continued to attack the Shada Iron City, they were intended to take revenge and defend it. There was no need to make a big move. If they attacked Mayi City, they would have the intention to invade the south in large numbers. Your Majesty must deal with it carefully and not take risks easily."

Han Ruzi thanked the old general and immediately summoned local officials such as Henan Yin Han Chou and others. He also went to war early the morning after leaving, hoping to resolve the issue of releasing food before leaving.

Luoyang officials became more and more respectful in front of the emperor. Even if they had ordered them to calm down, they all knelt down. Han Chou did not take his identity as an emperor, and knelt before the officials to report on the situation of the private warehouse of grain.

It seemed that the situation was very good, and the request made by the emperor himself received wide response. In one day, the grain promised by merchants in Luoyang was almost the same as that of the official warehouse, and there would be more in the future. According to Han Chou's rough estimate, the final quantity was at least three times that of the official warehouse.

"The holy grace is vast and the people are blessed. The merchants in Luoyang were deeply moved. They all said that it is a great thing to send food to the people to report to the court. It is really a great thing. It is their greatest honor to share the worries of His Majesty in their lives."

The report only took a short time, and it took several times to praise the merits. Han Chou finally said: "Weichen dared to make the decision and gave Luoyang merchants a few promises to make it more convenient for them to enter the capital in the future. It is a little compensation for opening warehouses and releasing grain."

Han Ruzi was already annoyed and nodded, "It's so good that the Luoyang merchants cannot lose money in vain. Any requests they have will be reported to Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue and write a memorial to me."

Under Han Chou's leadership, Luoyang's official mountain shouted long live and then left.

It was a while before Wu, Han Ruzi summoned the accompanying officials of the capital and appointed Qu Zixi, a doctor of the Imperial College, as the Censor of Henan County, to supervise the release of grain. This was a temporary appointment. The so-called Censor of Henan County did not even have an official seal. The only privilege was to write memorials to the emperor directly.

Things went too smoothly, and Han Ruzi was a little worried, so she had to leave someone to supervise Luoyang.

Just after noon, Han Ruzi summoned Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing crawled on the ground with empty hands, obviously unable to retrieve the seal. Han Ruzi was not surprised, and even felt a little relieved. After all, the criminals did not have the omnipotence he imagined, but Zhang Jing's chief of the Ministry of Justice was over.

"Where is the treasure seal?" Han Ruzi still asked normally.

"I am incompetent and did not find the seal in time. Please give up the crime."

"Since you have issued a military order, there is nothing to say. Abdicate and give way to the wise."

"I dare not fall in love with the position. I have worked hard until now. I have already looked forward to finding the seal. I hope that Your Majesty will be lenient for half a day. I will find the seal to repay the honor of the holy people. I will have no regrets in my heart from now on."

Han Ruzi stared at Zhang Jing for a while, "It can only be extended until midnight tonight."

Zhang Jing kowtowed and thanked him, and hurriedly retreated.

King Donghai stood beside the emperor, waited for Zhang Jing to walk out of the tent, and said, "He seems to be confident."

Han Ruzi also saw it, "Can you think of it? The emperor had to fight wits and courage with the ministers in the court for more than half of his time."

Donghai King laughed dryly.

"Say something if you have something to do."

"Then I'll say, have your Majesty ever thought that it was Your Majesty who made the mistake, not the minister?"

Han Ruzi glanced at Donghai King, "It seems you really have something to say."

"Hehe, Your Majesty asked me to say, how dare I hide my own private life? My mother once told me that the King of Donghai looked dark and immediately returned to normal. "No, it should be what Luo Huanzhang said. He said: Although the emperor is the supreme emperor in the world, he also has things he cannot do. For example, the emperor cannot teach people to farm in person, right? Therefore, if the king has the virtues of the king, the ministers have the responsibility, and the people have the people's division, and each person has the position of peace, so that the world can be peaceful. If one side overcomes, there will inevitably be trouble."

This sounds like the view of Confucian scholars. Han Ruzi said: "You said I crossed the line?"

"Emperor, you should have this power." King Donghai refused to say anything, but that's what he meant.

"You always said that you would do anything after becoming emperor, isn't that called Passover?"

The King of Donghai looked awkward, "Your Majesty remember it very clearly. Let me say something boldly, that is not called "passion": the emperor can build palaces, accept beauties, be arrogant and extravagant, and take revenge as long as it is satisfying himself, it is not called "passion". In addition, fighting is the business of military generals, and governing the world is the business of civil officials, but Your Majesty has to experience everything himself. The civil officials and military generals are at a loss, so naturally they seem a little clumsy."

"You made me a foolish lord, a mediocre lord?"

"I didn't say that!" King Donghai widened his eyes and then smiled: "I suggest that Your Majesty be the king of inaction, the emperor of Xiaoyao, and the emperor of supreme."

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "You are right."

"His Majesty figured it out?"

"There is one thing that is wrong. Your inaction, freedom and supreme are only useful to Emperor Taiping. If you are in trouble today, you will be in trouble and have constant internal and external troubles. If you are ineffective, the people in the place will be harmed and the emperor will be in danger."

"I just say it casually that Your Majesty is born to work hard, and even if the world is peaceful, he may not be able to stay in the palace leisurely."

"This is not a casual statement. Your words make sense. At least the minister's idea is the same as yours, so Han Chou gave me wine, sex, money and property."

Han Ruzi refused to attend the banquet, and all the beauties sent were returned, but Han Chou did not give up pleasing the emperor because of this. He brought all kinds of rare things to the scene, almost emptying the Marquis' Mansion. At this time, they were piled up in nearby tents, leaving nothing beside Han Ruzi.

"Even the ugly king's idea is the same as you. He said that lions and tigers cannot catch birds, and eagles cannot catch mice underground. He is telling me to stay away from the world."

"The ugly king is too crazy. Your Majesty can solve it as a personal grudge. This is not considered overwhelming."

"I have to go over and take a look."

King Donghai smiled but said nothing. He wanted to be an emperor, but he didn't want to be an emperor like Han Ruzi.

The day passed quickly, and news came from the East that the East China indeed recruited a large number of soldiers from the ship workers who had nothing to do, but these people were not the main force. "Shangguan Sheng" had other military assistance, and no one knew the specific source.

There are still two quarters of an hour left in Lianzi Ye. Zhang Jing came to see the emperor, but he was still empty-handed, but he said confidently: "Before Midnight, the seal will definitely return to His Majesty's hands."

Zhang Jing was nervous, but he could only bear it with his teeth and would rather take the risk of beheading than go back to farm.

Fortunately, he didn't wait too long. After about a quarter of an hour, the treasure seal really came back, but the one who sent it was not an ugly king.
