Chapter 250 Did this Prefect of Luozhou get in through connections?
The old emperor could understand what the governor of Luozhou was thinking.
Although I was angry, I felt that the other party had at most made a minor mistake of not reporting what they knew.
[This governor of Luozhou may seem timid, but the things he's done show he's anything but.]
The governor of Luozhou was startled.
Ever since Shen Zhiyi went to several places, those in the know have all come to know who she is.
In short, if you encounter one, run away as fast as you can.
But now he can't run away even if he wants to.
These days, everyone does some dirty deeds, and everyone has some secrets.
Noticing the old emperor's gaze above him, the governor of Luozhou lowered his head even further.
[Tsk, that's shameless. I'd rather not go around asking everyone I meet, "Am I pretty?", "Do I look good today?", "Do you think I'm prettier or she is?"]
Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts were expressed in a sweet, coquettish voice, which startled everyone.
Those who were familiar with Shen Zhiyi silently touched the goosebumps that had risen on their bodies.
I don't know how the governor of Luozhou could have the nerve to say that.
The first thing he does upon opening his eyes in the morning is to ask his wife or concubine: "Do I look better today than yesterday?"
Shen Zhiyi was utterly speechless.
[You still have sleep in your eyes, and you haven't brushed your teeth, how can you even bring yourself to say that?]
Upon hearing this, the governor of Luozhou instinctively reached for the small mirror in his pocket to check his appearance.
Is this guy crazy? Once, twice, three times...?
Time ticked by, and large beads of sweat rolled down the forehead of the governor of Luozhou.
What exactly is Shen Zhiyi counting?
There's always this feeling of counting his lives.
【Oops, I'm not familiar with this, system, could you please do some statistics for me?】
As an outstanding piece of artificial intelligence, it only took a tiny bit of data to be compiled by Shen Zhiyi in less than a second thanks to its powerful algorithm.
Good heavens, this governor of Luozhou asked others two thousand times a day, in twelve hours, if I am very handsome. The frequency is astonishing.
The crowd looked at the governor of Luozhou with curiosity.
Very good, I only saw his back.
The old emperor coughed.
“You, lift your head.”
Upon hearing what Shen Zhiyi said, the governor of Luozhou felt completely at ease.
Upon hearing the old emperor's words, he openly displayed his face to everyone, tilting his head slightly to reveal what he considered to be his very satisfactory jawline.
The governor of Luozhou was most proud of his jawline, so he liked to look at people with his head tilted back. To be honest, wasn't that just pointing his big nostrils at others?
Shen Zhiyi gave a disdainful look.
[I don't know how good-looking the governor of Luozhou is elsewhere, but his big nostrils are definitely a problem. And yet, when he's showing off his superior jawline, he's also inadvertently revealing his nostrils, which are even bigger than a pig's.]
The governor of Luozhou was extremely displeased.
What does Shen Zhiyi know?
Men with big nostrils are handsome men.
Every part of his body was exceptionally well-developed.
Under the old emperor's gaze, the governor of Luozhou, who had finally managed to suppress his bad habits, relapsed.
"Your Majesty, do you think I am handsome?"
The old emperor: ……
I dared not open my eyes, hoping it was just my imagination.
The governor of Luozhou was certainly not a grotesque or ugly man, but he was far from handsome either.
He has an ordinary appearance, but he thinks he's the most handsome guy in the world.
[This is unbelievable! This guy is completely hopeless. Normally, it's one thing for people to shout "The Governor of Luozhou is even more handsome today than yesterday" when they enter his residence, but how come he couldn't control himself in front of the old emperor?]
[Oops, narcissism is a disease, it needs treatment.]
Chen Decai, true to his reputation as the old emperor's lackey, immediately stepped forward and said, "How dare you! When His Majesty inquires about your dog farm, who asked what you look like?"
The governor of Luozhou felt a chill run down his spine and suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die. Please forgive me. I really don't know much about the dog farm."
Ever since he learned that the dog farm was run by the Marquis of Pingyang, he began to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he was indeed completely unaware of many details.
After confirming that the governor of Luozhou truly knew nothing, the old emperor was so angry that he gave the governor a thorough dressing-down.
The governor of Luozhou was doing just fine.
He understands.
The old emperor just wanted to vent his anger on someone, and he was the unlucky guy who had to take it.
It'll be fine once they've finished venting.
[Oh my, the inner quarters of the governor of Luozhou are really interesting.]
The governor of Luozhou's eyebrows twitched.
No, why would Shen Zhiyi be looking into his inner quarters?
The women in his harem were all very well-behaved and nothing special!
What interesting things could possibly happen!
He thought about it carefully, but couldn't come up with anything.
There's money everywhere!
What?
The governor of Luozhou's heart skipped a beat; he was terrified.
He dared not look up at the old emperor's eyes, listening intently to Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts.
This guy has so many weird quirks; he likes to hide silver in the outhouse. Who would dare use that silver if it were taken out?!
The governor of Luozhou slightly puffed out his chest: He dares!
The old emperor's lips twitched violently for a moment.
How did someone like that become the governor of a prefecture?
"Get out of my sight."
The old emperor couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that the governor of Luozhou was unreliable and seemed to have gotten the position through connections.
He expressed it directly.
Although the old emperor is old, he is still quite senile; he definitely entered the palace through back channels.
The old emperor was stunned, a half-smile playing on his lips.
How wonderful.
"Chen Decai, summon the Minister of Personnel."
"Here."
[It seems the old emperor is going to fire this governor of Luozhou. If he fires him directly, will the Empress Dowager be unhappy?]
The old emperor suddenly looked at the Empress Dowager.
He never expected that the Empress Dowager would be among them.
The Empress Dowager shrank back guiltily, grabbed her cane, and tried to slip away.
The Empress Dowager's early life was unfortunate and there's not much to say about it, but her later life was truly remarkable; she was full of energy even at her advanced age.
This goes back to the Minister of Personnel two, three, three years ago. This Minister of Personnel had an affair with the Empress Dowager.
[This governor of Luozhou also had an affair with the Empress Dowager!]
Chen Decai and Zhang Sheren immediately lowered their heads.
No wonder she's the emperor's mother; who could do something like this?
He had one of his male favorites help another male favorite get an official position.
What does this show? It shows that the male concubines got along well with each other, and it shows that our Empress Dowager was good at managing her husband.
They failed under the late emperor.
The old emperor really wanted to call out to his mother.
You're really something.
He vaguely remembered the former Minister of Personnel.
His expression instantly turned strange.
