Chapter 460: We agreed to go out and play
Ziwei thought: Could it be that the emperor suspects King Dongshan?
“Your Majesty, we found out that this was the first time that King Dongshan came to Panlong Mountain, and he met Manager Shang in Panlong Mountain.
Later, when the King of Dongshan transferred General Fan to resist the private army, he revealed his identity. Before that, the prince had met the monk shopkeeper as a businessman. "
Emperor: "Is there anything wrong with the King of Dongshan recruiting his own private army?"
Ziwei: "According to the information reported by the secret guards, the original intention of King Dongshan to recruit private troops was because he felt that the national treasury... was too poor."
Having said this, he raised his head and quickly glanced at the emperor's expression. Seeing that the emperor did not blame him, he continued.
“The prince wanted to use his private army to earn some money for the national treasury, so he accepted other people’s advice and organized his private army into a construction team.
Shopkeeper Shang hired a construction team to do the work and paid them wages, and he took 10% of the work he introduced to the construction team."
The emperor snorted coldly, "Look, the fox's tail is exposed. We know that these merchants are not willing to pay for nothing. They take 10% of the profit for the introduction work. This money is too easy to make."
Ziwei No matter how the emperor complained, he would not get involved.
What I was thinking was: Don't you doubt King Dongshan? Why do you care about giving someone 10% too much?
If they don't introduce jobs to you, would you be willing to keep these people for nothing?
The emperor kept complaining that Prince Dongshan didn't know how to do business and let a businessman take advantage of him.
Finally, he sighed and said to himself, "Forget it. After all, Old Twelve has never done business before. How can he possibly beat those old hands?"
Emperor: "By the way, who's advice did Old Twelve follow to do this?"
Ziwei: "A man named Weidong. He is the one who saved the prince's life when he was seriously injured last time. He... is also a businessman."
Sure enough, when the emperor heard that the person who saved King Dongshan was a businessman, he frowned and was obviously not happy.
But, this is also correct.
The last time King Dongshan disappeared, he was taken away by a caravan.
King Dongshan told him.
Emperor: "He actually appeared in Panlong Mountain as well? What a coincidence?"
Ziwei: “I heard that it was Shopkeeper Shang who asked him for help, Shopkeeper Weidong came to assist Shopkeeper Shang in resisting the private army, and they were a great help.
The people in his caravan are all very capable and good at riding horses."
The emperor nodded. It was a caravan. It was normal for them to be good at riding.
However, he did not want the King of Dongshan, a prince, to hang out with a businessman all day.
The emperor asked in an unhappy tone: "Is that merchant still with King Dongshan?" The merchant learned that he had saved a prince, and he didn't know how much benefit he would have to get from King Dongshan before he would give up.
Merchants are always greedy, and I am afraid that they will use force to repay my kindness in the future.
Ziwei bowed her head and replied, "Your Majesty, no, Weidong has already led the caravan to set off."
The emperor was greatly surprised. He thought that the man named Weidong would always cling to the Twelveth Prince and try to gain as many benefits as possible from him.
However, this is better, it makes him feel more at ease.
The emperor still instructed: "Tell someone to keep an eye on King Dongshan. If Weidong gets close to King Dongshan, you must report it to me."
King Dongshan is probably no match for the slick businessmen. What would happen if he gets cheated? He has to be careful.
Ziwei bowed and said yes.
The Emperor: "Well, Chen Fu, please send over the urgent memorials that have been piled up over the past few days. You can leave now."
Ziwei slowly hid in the darkness and disappeared.
Chen Fu placed a pile of memorials on the emperor's desk and sorted them for the emperor according to category.
The emperor sighed. He had to go on a private tour during the day. The accumulated memorials were like a mountain, and it made him tired just looking at them.
He resigned himself to his fate and picked up a memorial and began to correct it.
It was already midnight and he still hadn't finished reviewing it.
At this time, Chen Fu walked in hurriedly, holding a letter with a kingfisher feather attached to it.
Whose emergency business is this!
The emperor's sleepiness was immediately driven away, and he reached out anxiously to read the letter.
Chen Fu immediately trotted over to hand it to the emperor.
The emperor looked at the signature, then tore open the envelope without hesitation, unfolded the letter and started reading.
After reading it, he immediately called out loudly: "Chen Fu, call the adults who are accompanying us to discuss this matter..."

Shi Yi rode her donkey with Asan and was taken to a small place by the disaster victims. This was not the place she wanted to go.
She had originally planned to go out and play for a few days and then go back, but she didn't expect to be swept away by a large group of disaster victims on the road and run to an unfamiliar place.
This is a barren place, there is nothing fun or delicious to eat.
From time to time, there are people who want to take advantage of her little donkey. It would be strange for her to be happy!
Ah San was also unhappy. There were too many people who harbored ill will towards him, and he felt very uneasy.
Shi Yi touched the donkey's head and said to it:
"Ah San, you must not run around recently. There are too many people here who want to kill you. If you are left alone, you will be cooked into donkey meat."
Ah San kicked anxiously, and Shi Yi patted him and comforted him:
"Don't worry, don't worry. As long as you don't leave me, I will definitely protect you."
Qingqiu looked at the eyes around him staring at Ah San and said worriedly:
"Miss, let's go." It's too scary here.
Shi Yi sighed helplessly: "You can see it too, where can we go now?" There are people all around, it is not easy to leave.
Shitou held the knife handle tightly in his hand, and glanced at those who had bad intentions.
He made up his mind: no matter who it was, if they dared to attack them, he would make them pay a heavy price.
Otherwise, if they can't control the situation, they will have to leave here today.
Shi Yi was still unhurried and combed Asan's hair leisurely.
Qingqiu approached the stone and whispered, "Can we protect the young lady?"
Shitou gritted his teeth and said, "Humph! The knife in my hand is not vegetarian."
As he spoke, he pushed up with his right thumb and the knife came out half an inch.
Seeing that he seemed difficult to deal with, many people quietly retreated, but they did not go far.
They were hungry, and when they suddenly saw a donkey in front of them, how could they not be jealous? !
The people who owned the donkey were just a few children, which made many people eager to take action on the donkey.
However, the boy had a knife in his hand, and no one wanted to be the first to get involved.
So, we can still live in peace for a while.
But after dark, it’s hard to say.
Along the way, Shi Yi and Shitou have blocked many sneak attacks from others, both openly and covertly.
Now, everyone is trapped in this valley, and Asan has become the target of public criticism again.
Shi Yi found a slightly cleaner place and sat down.
Asan also stood obediently in front of Shiyi and did not run around like usual. It also felt threatened.
