Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 202 Chapter 190 Nine Pretending to be a magician again to fool Jiajing

After receiving the imperial decree from Emperor Jiajing, Wang Daoqiu left this glorious land of the Han nation with his hands stained with the blood of the bullies of the Three Qin Dynasty and the reluctance of millions of people in the Three Qin Dynasty.

Returning to the capital, Beijing, Wang Daoqiu was still very aware of current affairs. He put the king before his family. As soon as he entered Beijing, he did not go home first, but went to Xiyuan first.

Led by the little yellow gate, they entered the Longevity Palace. At this time, Emperor Jiajing, Lu Bing, Lu Fang, and Tao Zhongwen were all there.Everyone knows that Emperor Jiajing didn't pretend to be a majestic emperor in front of Wang Daoqiu. He was dressed in a sophisticated way and meditated on the lotus seat.And Tao Laodao, Lu Bing, and Lu Fang also accompanied by the same appearance, making people look like a bunch of idiots.

Emperor Jiajing's appearance is a bit silly, but after all, he is also the leader of the Ming Dynasty.So Wang Daoqiu stepped forward and saluted Emperor Jiajing, saying "Long live".

Hearing Wang Daoqiu's voice, Emperor Jiajing pretended to slowly open his eyes, looking like a master of Taoism.But what Emperor Jiajing said next was a bit unworthy of his high status.

Just listen to Emperor Jiajing say: "You are so majestic in Shaanxi! They say that when the emperor is angry, he will lay down millions of corpses, but I have never been so majestic! But you have only been in Shaanxi for more than a month, and you have killed so many people." Isn’t it less than [-]?”

"The minister is ashamed!"

"Ashamed, you kid still knows how to be ashamed! I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to change your old habits when you were in Shandong, so I asked Zong Zheng to give you a message and tell you to take it easy. But what about you? What the hell are you doing? If you waste paper, think of it as a fart, right?"

Damn it!This Emperor Jiajing was exposed for his foul language. It seemed that he really made him angry this time, so angry that he even lost the dignity of the emperor.

Seeing Emperor Jiajing swearing regardless of his imperial image, Wang Daoqiu knew that Emperor Jiajing really regarded him as his own, but at the same time Emperor Jiajing was also really dissatisfied with what he was doing in Shaanxi.

Knowing this, Wang Daoqiu did his old trick again. Taking advantage of his young age and tender face, he acted cute and flattering, pretending to be shameless and ignorant, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can't blame me entirely." To be honest, my original idea was to only punish those who committed the most heinous crimes and were lawless. The rest of the people who punished them were just excuses, and they were actually doing it for their land. But later, the evil deeds of those local tyrants and evil gentry were reported by the people, which was simply appalling. So later on, I couldn't control my hand, and I made a big mark one after another."

After saying these words, Wang Daoqiu still had an innocent look on his face, holding a brush in one hand to kill the prisoner, which looked very funny.This made Tao Laodao, Lu Fang, and Lu Bing laugh out loud.

When Emperor Jiajing faced Wang Daoqiu's current behavior, he was so angry that he suddenly became violent. He waved his large Taoist robe, jumped down from the lotus seat, yelled and cursed, and came to chase and beat Wang Daoqiu.

Beat him, he must give Emperor Jiajing a beating today, otherwise Emperor Jiajing will not be able to get out of his anger, and he will cause more trouble for him later.But if he knelt there stupidly and let Emperor Jiajing hit him, I'm afraid the pleasure of Emperor Jiajing's beating would be greatly reduced.

So thinking of these, I saw Emperor Jiajing jumping down from the lotus seat in a hurry, muttering that he was going to beat himself to death today.Wang Daoqiu hurriedly cooperated, rolled and crawled, and escaped from the ground. He was still in the Wanshou Palace, wailing loudly and begging for mercy, while running around the pillars in embarrassment.And at the right moment, Emperor Jiajing caught him, and then he lay on the ground and said "Ouch" and "Ouch", covering his handsome face with both hands, shrinking his body into a ball, and allowing Emperor Jiajing to punch and kick him.

Emperor Jiajing had a great time beating Wang Daoqiu. Lu Bing and Lu Fang didn't bother him at first, but just gloated and laughed beside him.Then when he saw Emperor Jiajing beating him, he showed signs of exhaustion.They rushed over and pretended to beg for Wang Daoqiu's mercy, asking Emperor Jiajing to take Wang Daoqiu's life for the time being, and then took Emperor Jiajing away.

Emperor Jiajing was relieved and angry.Wang Daoqiu pretended to be pitiful again, got up from the ground, and cooperated with Emperor Jiajing.At this moment, Emperor Jiajing also understood in his heart that Wang Daoqiu's current pity was more of an act.

But doesn’t what a leader want is the attitude of his subordinates?Just like those subordinates flattering their superiors, is there really any superior who would believe the flattery of those subordinates?Everyone knows that is flattery.But even so, why does the superior still like the subordinate to flatter him?To put it bluntly, what the superior likes is not the flattery itself, but the subordinate's attitude of surrender.

Just like now, even though Emperor Jiajing knew about Wang Daoqiu, he was pretending to be pitiful and deceiving sympathy.However, Wang Daoqiu is pretending to be pitiful now, just to put the leader in a high position, make himself humble, and let Emperor Jiajing know his surrender.Therefore, regarding Wang Daoqiu's attitude, Emperor Jiajing still felt a sense of accomplishment as a leader and felt very happy.As soon as Emperor Jiajing was happy, the Shaanxi incident was no longer a big deal. As usual, Emperor Jiajing cursed a few more words about Wang Daoqiu, and the Shaanxi incident was dismissed by Emperor Jiajing and was not mentioned again.

After Emperor Jiajing scolded Wang Daoqiu for the large number of murders in Shaanxi, he put his hands on his waist and gave Lu Fang a wink.

Lu Fang had served Emperor Jiajing since he was a child. Of course he knew what Emperor Jiajing wanted to know at this moment.So after receiving Emperor Jiajing's look, Lu Fang hurriedly stepped forward to take over Emperor Jiajing's words. First, he gently criticized a few words, Wang Daoqiu was indifferent, and then he naturally brought the topic to the issue of dirty things.

Wang Daoqiu and Old Taoist Jiajing were old business partners, and he knew that Lu Fang's words were actually asked on behalf of Old Taoist Jiajing.So he hurriedly pretended to answer Lu Fang, but actually told Emperor Jiajing.

Wang Daoqiu said: "Those things in the Prince of Qin's Mansion were handed over to Lord Zongzheng as evidence and escorted back to the capital. Later, I collected the local tyrants and evil gentry in Shaanxi and the guards' commanders in Shaanxi. All the gold and high-quality jade were packed The box has now been escorted into Xiyuan by people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang. I have sent all the remaining items, antique calligraphy and paintings to the south of the Yangtze River for sale. As for how much they can be sold, I can’t say yet. After all, those The antique calligraphy and paintings from the local tyrants, evil gentry, and the head of the garrison are all of average quality."

"As for the copied silver coins, in addition to a reward of 200% to the whistleblower, I left all the remaining copper coins with the Shaanxi side to use as military expenses for the three sides. I also kept 470 million taels of silver for the Shaanxi side, and the rest There are still more than [-] million taels of silver left. According to the old rules, I will take [-]% of this, and the rest will be divided between the Secretary of Ceremony and the Jinyiwei. As for the money from selling land, I put them all into the Ministry of Household Affairs, half of which are The account department lent it to Daming Royal Bank."

Wang Daoqiu explained the distribution plan clearly in one breath. If Wang Daoqiu dared to divide this distribution plan like this at the beginning of the year and Wang Daoqiu dared not to change it, Emperor Jiajing would never let Wang Daoqiu walk out of Xiyuan alive.After all, Emperor Jiajing was extremely poor at that time.

But now?Emperor Jiajing now owns two iron and steel factories in Nanjianhe and Jeju, as well as more than half of the shares in Tongzhou Trade City and Tongzhou Industrial Park.With an annual income of tens of millions of taels of silver, the richest man in the world must have silver.So Emperor Jiajing is no longer interested in silver, he only likes those shiny gold, and high-end jade, antique calligraphy and paintings.He has no interest in how Wang Daoqiu divides the money.

Therefore, when Wang Daoqiu said that all the gold and high-end jades obtained from land scraping in Shaanxi were sent to Xiyuan, Emperor Jiajing smiled with satisfaction.

As for the silver, when Emperor Jiajing thought of it, he just laughed and teased Wang Daoqiu: "Made, God has given you food for your son. I have to repay you. This time you sold more than 2000 million acres of land in Shaanxi. This time The Ministry of Household Affairs has moved in with gold and silver. You are the Minister of Household Affairs. I don’t know if there will be others coming later. But I know that throughout the ages, there has never been a House Secretary as fat as you. Master, Madam, God has been so kind to you! It has made me poor for more than 20 years."

With these words, Emperor Jiajing recalled the past. In the first 25 years of his reign, the treasury was in deficit every year. He, an emperor, wanted the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate some money to him for pocket expenses.When the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue heard that he wanted money, his face went straight to the ground. He immediately said that he wanted the money or not, and asked the emperor to take care of it.This made Emperor Jiajing look ugly and difficult to deal with every time, and he lost face again and again.

And once Wang Daoqiu becomes the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ma De, the Ministry of Household Affairs has a lot of money, and the country has not collected a cent of tax for more than ten years, and the national treasury can still pay it.Mudd, God, this is too partial.

Thinking that God had made him suffer from poverty for more than 20 years, Emperor Jiajing became more and more aggrieved. The more he looked at Wang Daoqiu's eyes, the more jealous he became.

At this time, Wang Daoqiu looked at Emperor Jiajing and looked at him with a look of resentment towards a woman, and his heart went crazy. He thought about what Emperor Jiajing just said.Wang Daoqiu understood that Emperor Jiajing was jealous. He was jealous that God would bless Daoqiu but not Jiajing.

After understanding this, Wang Daoqiu did not dare to make Emperor Jiajing too jealous of him.So he approached Emperor Jiajing and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, I killed too many people in Shaanxi in the past few days. When I calm down at night, I will inevitably feel flustered, fearing God's punishment. So I meditated and repented to God, and then I showed my sincerity. , every time I confess, I can listen to the teachings of my ancestor Sanqing Patriarch in my consciousness. Your Majesty, I wonder if the secret that my ancestor revealed to your majesty through my body in Baiyun Temple last year is accurate?"

Wang Daoqiu said that when he was meditating during this period, he often listened to the teachings of the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty, and asked whether last year's "Edicts from Heaven" were accurate.This made Emperor Jiajing immediately refreshed. After all, last year Wang Daoqiu "passed the decree from heaven", and those things finally came true, which impressed Emperor Jiajing so much.

So after Emperor Jiajing listened to Wang Daoqiu's words, he did not say whether those last year were accurate, but also whispered to Wang Daoqiu: "You can take a bath and change clothes early tomorrow morning, and you don't have to go to the Forbidden City to make an early morning pilgrimage. You can go directly to Baiyun Temple. Like. Just like last year, please pass God’s reminder to me again.”
