Chapter 1531 Mei Zhao has no choice but to practice trumpet
Soon after, a few common side dishes and two bottles of premium Divine Wine were placed on a small table.
Chu Chen and Dong Shilan sat facing each other, as if they were eating a simple home-cooked meal rather than delicacies from the imperial palace.
The two drank wine intermittently, and Chu Chen did not hold back, explaining the advanced ideas in his mind to Dong Shilan.
What Dong Shilan is most interested in and most eager to learn about is the concept of industrial poverty alleviation.
Chu Chen promised to create some modern farming tools for her, hoping to boost employment and agriculture through industry.
Dong Shilan was immediately intrigued by Chu Chen and wished she could put down her cup and have a deep conversation with him right then and there.
Such a man is probably one of a kind in the entire Song Kingdom.
"Sister, there's actually something else I want to tell you this time."
Dong Shilan's face was flushed, and she looked at Chu Chen with a lovesick expression: "Little brother, if there's anything, just tell me."
"I think we should do this sugar business together!"
Upon hearing this, Dong Shilan sobered up considerably. What was he up to? The sugar business was to be spread throughout the country. If they did this business together, how much profit would they get? Could it be that this kid shared the same idea as him? Did they both have that intention?
"Brother, are you saying you're going to share the profits with me?"
“That’s right, as you know, the Mei family has their eyes on me and wants me dead all the time. So, I want to be with my sister so that I have enough confidence to fight the Mei family!”
"What? The people who killed you were from the Mei family?"
After listening, Dong Shilan exuded an aura of royal dominance.
"Um... Sister, there's no need to get agitated. Here's what happened..."
Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen recounted to Dong Shilan everything that had happened, including his attack in the south and Fatty Tiger's capture in Seoul.
Of course, Chu Chen didn't say that he would cut off Mei Du's vital organs.
Upon hearing this, Dong Shilan was so angry that she immediately wanted to ransack Mei Zhao's house, but Chu Chen stopped her.
"Sister, you are the ruler of a country. If you want to confiscate property, you need a reason, otherwise how will the world view you as a tyrant?"
Under Chu Chen's persuasion, Dong Shilan gradually calmed down.
"So, little brother, what do you plan to do?"
"Hehe, as long as you give me permission, I will lead my men to attack the Mei family's residence tomorrow."
Do you have a private army?
"What are you saying, sister? There are only nine guards with me!"
"Nine guards, plus you? That's ten people? No, your sister won't let you go, it's too dangerous."
Chu Chen was secretly delighted after hearing this. Sure enough, even if a woman becomes an empress, she is still a woman. She is already showing concern for people now. It seems that if he puts in a little more effort tonight, he will be bound to this empress.
At that time, in this vast Song Kingdom, there will be a place for him to make his mark.
“Sister, as you said today, even if I were a celestial being descended to earth, the mere Mei family is nothing to me. As long as you allow it, I have absolutely no problem.”
After listening to Chu Chen's words, Dong Shilan gradually calmed down.
Yes, he is a reincarnation of a god. What is the mere Mei family compared to him? Moreover, the Mei family has been rooted in the Song Kingdom for a long time and has accumulated a considerable fortune. Furthermore, Mei Zhao has become increasingly presumptuous in recent years, and many times he has contradicted him in front of the court officials.
The State of Song is not lacking in talent. Just as Chu Chen said, there are many talented people from humble backgrounds, but they are too poor to enter the court and their talents are buried.
There are too many suitable candidates for the position of Minister of Revenue.
So he asked, "Are you really sure?"
"Just you wait and see. Besides, I suspect the Mei family is treasonous. So, if I force them to confess, my sister can then easily and completely eliminate the Mei family."
After hearing this, Dong Shilan stood up and plopped down next to Chu Chen: "Little brother, you really surprised your sister!"
Chu Chen looked at Dong Shilan's outstretched slender hand and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Little brother, your older sister wants to love you dearly..."
Chu Chen closed his eyes, constantly reminding himself that Dong Shilan was very beautiful, and that he was hundreds of years old while she was only thirty. He was getting a great deal.
In an instant, the entire room seemed to be filled with the fragrance of flowers. Chu Chen opened his eyes and looked at Dong Shilan, whose breath was as sweet as orchids. The next moment, he reached out his hand....................... (Expand▼)
The next day, Chu Chen walked out of his room feeling refreshed. Several maids immediately took him to wash up.
You must know, this is the first time His Majesty has brought a man into his bedchamber, so we must serve him well.
Lu Feng, knowing his place, announced to those who had come to court: "His Majesty is unwell today, and the court session is cancelled."
Although the ministers did not know what was wrong with His Majesty, they all returned to their homes. It was good that they did not have to attend court, and they were happy to have some peace and quiet.
When Mei Zhao returned home, he was furious and smashed cups and bowls. He had originally intended to publicly impeach Chu Chen for cutting off his son's manhood, but he did not expect that Dong Shilan would be unwell today.
Counting the days, Dong Shilan's period wasn't in these few days.
Dong Shilan takes about seven or eight days off in January, which has been stable for many years. Could it be that someone has disrupted it?
After venting his anger, he went to his son's room with a pained expression, glanced at him, and then turned and walked into his own room.
"Master, my poor son! That damned Chu Chen, you must tear him to pieces!"
As soon as he entered, several women began to weep and wail before him, but he could tell that they were secretly pleased.
Mei Du's mother died in childbirth, and he had no children of his own, so these ladies had their chance.
He was also helpless about this. In his eyes, Mei Du was excellent in every way, and also ruthless enough to be able to take over the entire Mei family business.
Unexpectedly, this happened. There's no need to continue training someone who can't carry on the Mei family line; otherwise, trouble will inevitably arise sooner or later.
"Alright, stop crying. All this crying and wailing is making me lose all focus."
After hearing his words, everyone stopped crying. They were joking; if the master was in no mood, how could they possibly ascend to the throne?
Mei Zhao looked at everyone and thought to herself that there was really no other way. It was all Chu Chen's fault, and he had to be killed.
"I will handle the matter of the only child myself. Now, you can come one by one. Whether you succeed or not depends on your luck."
After saying that, the servant quickly closed the door.
Little did they know that Chu Chen was leading nine people, slowly making his way towards the Mei family.
