Chapter 909 Attracting 1 Group of People
Zhang Zhao turned around and walked towards Tang An, "Manager Tang, what are you doing?"
Tang An put his hands on his waist and panted for several times before he took out the token. "This, this is the token of the Golden Guards. You must keep it well."
Tang An finally finished what he said in one breath. He almost died of exhaustion while chasing Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao took it with both hands, and then said, "Thank you, Steward Tang."
"Master Zhang's pace was too fast. It took us so long to catch him. Fortunately, we did."
"Yes, it's my fault. I was lost in thought just now. I'm really sorry."
"Nothing, nothing. Anyway, we are all working for the emperor."
Zhang Zhao nodded, "Yes."
Tang An waved his hand and said, "Master Zhang, please take care. I will go back and report to the Emperor."
"Hard."
Tang An smiled. Zhang Zhao was really polite.
After Zhang Zhao returned to the palace, he couldn't help but think back to what happened today. Why did the emperor personally support him...
cough cough...
Hearing the cough, Zhang Zhao looked up and saw Jian Wu.
"When did you come?" Zhang Zhao asked.
"I have been following you since you left the palace."
Zhang Zhao opened his mouth and then smiled bitterly for a moment.
Jian Wu said: "So, why are you so distraught today?"
"I am distraught?"
"Yes, it's you, lost soul!"
Zhang Zhao smiled. He looked at Jian Wu and thought of something. "If it were you, I'm afraid you would be even more devastated."
"What do you mean?"
"No, you shouldn't gossip about her. It's disrespectful to her."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jian Wu understood.
"So what happened?"
Zhang Zhao shook his head, "Nothing."
He unconsciously clenched his fists, and the corners of his lips on that cold face that had killed countless villains slightly raised. This look...
Jian Wu knew that he had seen the emperor, "You have false thoughts."
Zhang Zhao looked at Jian Wu and shot back, "You are the same, aren't you? Are we still separate?"
Jian Wu took a deep breath. At that time, Zhang Zhao discovered his secret of being in love with the emperor. From then on, his love for the emperor became a secret between the two of them.
It was also from that time that the two of them swore to devote themselves to the emperor until their death.
When they were still young, probably when the emperor was sixteen and they were nineteen, they had fantasized that since the emperor was trained as a crown princess, then was it possible for them, the secret guards trained by the crown princess, to become servants of the emperor one day?
If one of them becomes the emperor's servant, he must give the other one a chance!
Those arrogant words and thoughts of youth always make people shocked!
Zhang Zhao held his other arm with his hand, "The emperor is drunk today, he is different from usual."
When Jian Wu heard this, his heart trembled.
Zhang Zhao continued, "The Emperor personally supported me more than once."
"It's just support. The emperor has supported many ministers, hasn't he?" Jian Wu laughed and said in a soothing tone, "Don't get too deep."
Zhang Zhao nodded, "Others may not know, but you and I know that the emperor now only wants to make some achievements. In addition to improving the status of women, the emperor also wants to establish monogamy. She already has a husband, Xie."
Jian Wu said nothing.
Zhang Zhao continued, "But she is the emperor. Can she really not have other servants?"
"I see you're drunk tonight too." Jian Wu replied coldly.
Zhang Zhao opened his mouth, then gave a bitter smile and said, "Yes."
He didn't drink a sip of wine, but was bewitched and intoxicated by the emperor's drunken smell, staggering, support, and his affectionate eyes and eyebrows that seemed to be out of focus.

Jinrong Palace.
After Chujiu saw the emperor's carriage, he immediately went to inform Xie Yunchu.
Xie Yunchu hurried out to greet him.
He personally picked up General A Yao from the sedan chair.
The woman leaned against his chest, hugged his neck, and said intimately: "I am a little drunk today."
Xie Yunchu just smiled without saying anything and carried her directly into the purification room.
"All of you go down." Xie Yunchu said to Yi Rui and others.
"Yes."
After everyone left, Xie Yunchu looked at the person in his arms and said, "I'll help my sister take a bath."
"Ah."
When he tried to put the person on the chaise longue, the woman refused to let go.
"elder sister……"
Xiao Yao pressed her index finger on his thin lips and said, "Yun Chu, you look so good today." Her words were full of ambiguity and teasing.
Xie Yunchu couldn't help it. He was already jealous for a while, so he kissed her lips directly.
This kiss was like a long-awaited rain after a long drought, it was very intense.
The storm is coming, and the two figures are entangled together like glue...
I don’t know if it was the hangover soup, the water in the bathtub, or the overly strenuous exercise.
Xiao Yao became much more sober.
At this moment, Xie Yunchu had already put pajamas on her.
Xiao Yao leaned on the young man's arms and said, "I didn't drink much today, why do I feel dizzy?"
"You know what, it feels like walking on clouds..."
Xie Yunchu nodded, "Yeah, especially when my sister was in the clean room just now, it was more like walking on clouds, right?"
Xiao Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, the experience is really good."
"Then let's have a drink or two next time?"
"Can consider it."
"Just considering it?" Xie Yunchu asked.
Xiao Yao thought for a moment and said, "Then let's drink a cup of wine together?"
"Let's drink the wedding wine, that way every time we have our wedding night together will be our wedding night."

Morning next day.
Before the morning court session, Xiao Yao had ordered Tang An to find Xiao Chen and the Left Prime Minister, and ordered them to propose a new decree to abolish slavery during the morning court session.
"emperor……"
A trusted minister knelt in the hall and said, "Cangyun Kingdom is now strong, but it is very difficult to abolish slavery. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
The one who spoke was Wei Taiwei.
When Xiao Yao looked at General Wei, she knew for whose benefit this man was speaking.
Although General Wei has no actual military power, the Rong family behind him cannot be underestimated. If it weren't for his father's iron-blooded strategy, this Rong family would probably have become the Dark Emperor of Cangyun Kingdom.
Today, although the Rong family is no longer a threat, the number of monks in the various large and small families and the domestic slaves on the farms is still huge.
To abolish slavery, these aristocratic families, big landowners, and even powerful officials were huge obstacles.
Xiao Chen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I propose that, similar to the last policy of giving birth to a daughter and keeping her, slaves, regardless of gender, can be allocated farmland if they voluntarily register as good citizens with the Ministry of Household Affairs. In the first three years, taxes can be reduced by 30%. This will surely attract some people out of slavery."
Wei Taiwei looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "May I ask Your Highness Prince Chen, if the slaves of the master's family leave the master's family, who will compensate for the losses of the master's business, farmland, etc.?"
Xiao Chen looked at Wei Taiwei and said, "If the master is a kind and virtuous family, the master can still re-engage the slave even if he is freed from slavery." This time, the slave will not be as easy to control as a domestic slave.
Even if you beat your servant to death, you have your reasons.
But the hired people cannot be beaten or scolded at will! This will also guarantee the most basic human rights of the people.
