Chapter 986 The Frustrated Little Emperor
Because it was only the afternoon.

There were no outsiders in the Baiyu Tower except a few regular guests.

Seeing that Su Mingzhe was so generous, Chun Sanniang immediately called over several of her top performers.

"It's worthy of being called Baiyu Tower!"

Su Mingzhe looked at the young women, dressed in light clothes and gauze, with their snow-white and delicate skin faintly visible, walking slowly into the room and greeting them one by one, and he couldn't help but applaud.

Chun Sanniang's charming face couldn't help but reveal a smug look:
"Sir, do you think my girl is satisfied?"

"Satisfied! Satisfied!"

Su Mingzhe knew what the old procuress meant, so he threw out a bag of gold leaves and said with a smile:

"Everyone stay here, I'm going to sleep with you today!"

Chun Sanniang took the gold leaf and immediately left with a smile. Before leaving, she did not forget to close the door.

As soon as the door was closed, Chun Sanniang heard the girls' screams coming from inside the room. The flattering smile on her face disappeared immediately, and she lowered her head to check the authenticity of the gold leaf.

After confirming that the gold leaves were all genuine gold, she turned around and called a gigolo to record the information she had analyzed.

Su Mingzhe, who was having fun in the attic, was paying attention to Chun Sanniang's every move and was not surprised at the actions of the two.

After all, this Baiyu Tower is the property of the Murong family in Gusu.

The Gusu Murong clan, like the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Cult, specialized in rebellion for hundreds of years.

They opened restaurants, brothels, inns and other places, and were responsible for collecting information and making money on a daily basis, and occasionally using the money to make friends with various heroes.

Su Mingzhe came to visit the Gusu family's business this time just to see whether the Gusu Murong family was as "honest" as it seemed.

After all, in novels and TV dramas.

Although the four major ministers of the Murong family have various flaws to a greater or lesser extent, they are all quite reliable in terms of character.

If they are really reliable, it seems that letting the clone replace Murong Fu... is not a bad idea!
Several days followed.

Su Mingzhe has been observing the Gusu Murong family's assets.

As time went by, I learned more and more about the Murong family.

Su Mingzhe couldn't help but frown secretly.

That night, when Su Mingzhe noticed that the steward of the Murong family had actually stuffed a stack of silver bills into the local government, he couldn't help but start cursing:
"Rubbish, really rubbish!"

"No wonder the Murong family has been rebelling for hundreds of years, and they are getting worse and worse!"

Even a small local official has to be bribed with money. What's the point of such a Murong family?
To rebel, four elements are needed.

First, it happened to be a time of chaos!
Although the current Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty is still wise and brave, the next generation Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty is a fighting chicken among the trash.

It can be said that in another twenty years, it will be a typical era of chaos.

A rare opportunity.

Second, fame!
This reputation may not be for 'kindness' or 'knowledge', but it must be 'trustworthy' and 'reliable'!
Only if you give people a sense of "reliability", will the people in troubled times be willing to follow you.

Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang, Song Jiang and other grassroots rebels relied on this to make their way up.

Third, economy.

As a rebel, you may not have any money, but you must start from a place with money and food.

After all, rebellion is about gathering an army.

A team means taking care of everything, from eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating.

Without money and food, people’s hearts will sooner or later fall apart.

Fourth, the rural association.

In this promising task of rebellion, only the rural militia is the most reliable.

The reason is also very simple.

Rebellion is a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family. If you win over a few fellow villagers to join you, if the rebellion fails, basically no one in your hometown will be alive.

Therefore, during a rebellion, the village militia is the most reliable and is unlikely to betray its master.

Liu Bang rose to power with the help of his old brothers in Pei County.

Zhu Yuanzhang rose to power with the help of his brothers from Fengyang.

The Murong family has been rebelling for so many years, and they have either been casting their nets all over the world or constantly stirring up trouble. No wonder their situation has become worse and worse!
After criticizing the Murong family.

Su Mingzhe took Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian and headed towards Kaifeng Bianliang.

After the three of them arrived in Kaifeng, Su Mingzhe first called back the clone he had sent out after arriving in this world last year.

This clone has been kept by the little emperor's side, responsible for taking care of and learning the little emperor's every move.

Now that he had retrieved his clone, Su Mingzhe immediately knew the little emperor's situation. This year was the fifth year of Yuanyou.

Sima Guang has turned into a pile of bones.

However, the old party once headed by him, with the support of the Empress Dowager, still controlled the government and continued to criticize the new party.

The young emperor lived in fear and trepidation every day, fearing that one day the Empress Dowager would suddenly drive him off the throne and push his uncle Zhao Hao onto the throne.

Well, this is not just the little emperor’s own fantasy.

Instead, it was the emperor's uncle Zhao Hao, who was supposed to be a fiefdom, who now lives in Qinxianfang in Kaifeng City and has frequent contacts with many ministers in the court.

The people are also constantly spreading the wisdom of this imperial uncle.

All these things reminded the little emperor all the time not to make any mistakes, otherwise the Empress Dowager could replace him at any time.

"Little Emperor, since you are living such a miserable life, why don't you give up your position to me!"

Late in the evening.

Su Mingzhe went straight to the Funing Palace where the little emperor lived and discovered another detail that his clone had not noticed.

Funing Palace was the little emperor's bedroom, but there was not a single palace maid.

The eunuchs were the ones who served the little emperor inside and outside.

Moreover, these eunuchs are all old, at least over 40 years old.

When Su Mingzhe saw this scene, he could only say awesome to the Empress Dowager:
"This kind of treatment, if placed in a wealthy and powerful family, would definitely be the treatment of the 'cold palace'."

"You know, Murong Fu also has two cute little maids, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi!"

"In order to prevent the little emperor from making mistakes, we simply don't give him any chance to make mistakes."

"Isn't this treating the little emperor as a 'criminal' suspect?"

After complaining, Su Mingzhe looked at the little emperor who was still frowning while sleeping, and a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes:
"Little Emperor, since your life is so miserable, I will send you to a world where you don't have to worry about life and death crises or the rise and fall of a country. I think you will be very happy!"

Su Mingzhe, who had made up his mind long ago, stretched out his hands towards the little emperor, grabbed the little emperor's soul and spirit, rolled it into a thought bead, and waved his hand again to collect the little emperor's body.

After his clone dressed up as the little emperor and lay down to rest again, Su Mingzhe left the palace.

after an hour.

Su Mingzhe took the little emperor's thought beads and went to a modern world dimension.

When he returned, he was smiling and it was obvious that he had made arrangements for the little emperor.

On the second day.

Su Mingzhe found a broker and spent 500,000 strings of cash to buy a large mansion in the capital.

After buying all the maids and servants, he began his shameless life with Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian.

Compared with the leisurely life of the original Su Mingzhe, the clone fell into dire straits after becoming the little emperor.

For every meal, there were not even three dishes and one soup, but just two dishes and one soup.

Two of the dishes are vegetarian.

This was a suggestion once made by Sima Guang and Cheng Yi, who wanted the little emperor to understand the principle of "thrift and diligence" from an early age and not to be extravagant and wasteful.

After getting up, the little emperor would go to class and receive instruction from the prime minister and the imperial scholars.

The place where classes were held was a dilapidated, airtight and narrow side hall.

It's cold in winter and stuffy in summer.

Well, the location was also decided by Sima Guang and Cheng Yi, two members of the old party.

The reason is that this place was designated by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong as the place for preaching.

As a young emperor, he must uphold the laws of his ancestors and cannot change them.

A minister saw that the little emperor couldn't stand the heat and suggested that he move to a cooler place.

Then a group of old party members drove the minister out of the court!

If these things were said, the clone could still bear it.

But after class, when the ministers went to discuss state affairs with the Empress Dowager, the clone really couldn't stand it anymore.

The Grand Empress Dowager was seen ruling the country from behind the curtain, and a group of ministers were discussing matters facing her. The clone had to stand behind the ministers and look at their butts.

From ancient times to the present, has there ever been an emperor who lived such a miserable life, having to face the butts of a group of ministers every day?
It's really intolerable, what can't be tolerated!

Since I can no longer tolerate it, there is no need to endure it anymore!
When the time came to April, an opportunity arose and he decided to fight back.
