Chapter 457: Three years later
Chapter 457 Three years later
After walking out, Sifu realized that the world is so big, some people, if they are separated, they really can't see them.
But even though he was gone, Zou Heng never seemed to disappear from his side.
There are people coming and going in the hot pot restaurant, and there will always be a well-informed person bringing some new news from time to time.
Three years later.
Suzhou branch of the world's first pot.
After a few glasses of wine, a man in a blue robe began to talk.
"Don't look at the young age of the current emperor, but he has a lot of means. He has only been on the throne for a long time, and he has made a lot of big moves, building bridges and roads.
In the past three years, more than half of the officials in the imperial court have basically changed, which made people panic. "
The man's companion seemed curious, so he leaned over to ask.
"Is there any, I feel that the past few years have become more stable."
The man in blue raised his eyebrows, and after a "tsk", he said as if preaching.
"Let me just say that you are inflexible. You feel stable because you haven't got it. This rectification is from top to bottom. After the top is over, you will go to the bottom. I heard that the conscription will be adjusted. The tax policy, the common people will suffer a lot.”
The man in blue is called Ding Yongwen. His uncle was originally the governor of Suzhou. As the saying goes, a man can ascend to heaven by himself. Because of his uncle, Ding Yongwen's family has a very good life.
But just a few months ago, some shady things his uncle had done in the past were suddenly dug out. This matter was not impossible to settle, but it happened that the Holy Majesty knew about it.
Ding Yongwen doesn't know what's wrong with the emperor now, he's living a leisurely life, but he's punishing some officials.
This is great, the imperial decree, his uncle fell from the horse, and even his family was involved, and the prosperity and wealth were no longer, but he couldn't accept this fact.
Ding Yongwen's companion is Zhang Xia. He didn't know about the messy things about Ding Yongwen's family, so he frowned after hearing Ding Yongwen's words.
He also knew about the great generosity of the Holy Majesty, but he did not agree with Ding Yongwen's words.
Corrupt officials are dismounted, and the emperor can care about the suffering of the people's livelihood. Either of these two things is a good thing.
Zhang Xia didn't hide his thoughts, and murmured.
“Change isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”
Ding Yongwen looked worried when he saw that Zhang Xia didn't follow his words.
Si Fu behind the counter saw that the man in blue seemed to understand the current situation of the court, so he couldn't help but **** up his ears and listen for a while.
But while she was listening, the two of them suddenly changed their subject and talked about something else.
"You said that the queen is gone. Why doesn't the emperor choose a talent show? I don't believe that there are men who don't like women in this world. If I become the emperor, I have to choose him. He's not the same every day."
Zhang Xia smashed his mouth after hearing this.
"I don't have your pursuit. If I can marry a daughter-in-law in my life, I will be content."
Speaking of women, Ding Yongwen seemed to be interested and said meaningfully.
"You said that the Holy Majesty doesn't want women, so it must be impossible. I heard that the queen just can't stand being a widow..."
Hearing this, Sifu didn't come up in one breath, the water she was about to swallow blocked her throat, she couldn't go up or down, she couldn't hold back for a moment, and coughed strongly.
"Cough cough cough..."
Sifu's voice attracted the attention of people around him, but most of them just took a look and then looked away. Only Ding Yongwen's eyes straightened after seeing Sifu, as if he was glued to Sifu's body.
