Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

One can imagine what it would be like if Huang Qianshan's name were inscribed on the monument as a crime of treason.

The number of people who will condemn them will only increase.

It's unacceptable for scholars to be unafraid of Zhao Yuan.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will do our utmost to handle this matter."

Zhao Yuan then ordered those who had matters to report to the emperor.

After a while,

The imperial court then returned to normal.

Some people were making a fuss, while others were whispering among themselves.

Seeing that many officials were somewhat afraid,

Zhao Yuan smiled slightly.

“I plan to add another clause to the stone tablet: No one shall be punished for their words.”

"what?"

An official asked in surprise.

The civil officials also looked at Zhao Yuan with suspicion.

In their eyes, the King of Liang was a tyrant.

King Liang was in the court,

They have to think carefully before they speak.

They were afraid that a single mistake would be engraved on a stone tablet.

Unexpectedly, the King of Liang now says that he will not be punished for his words.

Does that mean that as long as you don't agree with humiliating peace negotiations, you can say anything?

Seeing that Zhao Yuan was not joking,

The officials immediately responded in unison.

"The king is wise."

This time, however, the officials praised him wholeheartedly.

After all, we no longer have to worry about losing our lives over a single wrong word.

Leaving the palace,

Zhao Yuan arrived at the Royal Bank, surrounded by his personal guards.

In the past few days, the Royal Bank has seen a number of customers depositing money.

Loan requests are pouring in.

However, most of these are small loans from ordinary people.

Zhao Yuan observed that Ren Jinnu managed the Royal Bank in an orderly manner.

So they made her a full-fledged supervisor.

Ren Jinnu was flipping through the account books in his office.

Upon seeing Zhao Yuan arrive, dressed in royal robes,

They came forward, asking curiously.

"Is Your Majesty going to court?"

Although Ren Jinnu had already become Zhao Yuan's woman

But if Zhao Yuan doesn't stay overnight at her place...

She also did not know the king's whereabouts.

They dared not inquire casually.

Zhao Yuan put his arm around Ren Jinnu and led her to sit down behind the desk.

"I'm going to war, heading north to fight against the Liao."

"It will probably take a while."

Upon hearing this, Ren Jinnu wrapped her arms around the king's neck.

"Your Majesty, please be careful. I only hope you will return safely."

Zhao Yuan pecked Ren Jinnu's red lips.

"I am a star descended from heaven, and no one in this world can harm me."

"Don't worry, I don't know how long I'll be gone,"

"I'm entrusting the Royal Bank to you."

"You shall proceed as we previously agreed,"

"First, open branches in Nanjing Yingtianfu and Jingdong,"

"After we defeat the Liao Kingdom,"

"We'll open branches in Damingfu, Beijing, and Hebei."

“I already said that at the court assembly,”

"The Ministry of Revenue will deposit another five million strings of cash,"

"You can just dial the respective branch numbers later."

Ren Jinnu nodded and said,

"Your Majesty, rest assured, when you return..."

"I will definitely open banks all over Jingdong."

"Alright, then I'll reward you first."

Zhao Yuan smiled and carried Ren Jinnu to the table.

He then kissed her.

.....

After Zhao Yuan left,

"Dong dong dong."

Ren Jinnu heard someone knocking on the door.

She straightened up and said in a crisp voice,

"come in."

As the door opened, a maid who had been guarding outside led in a middle-aged man and a boy of about seven or eight years old.

As soon as the boy entered the house,

She ran over and threw herself into Ren Jinnu's arms.

"elder sister."

Ren Jinnu cupped the boy's face in her hands.

"It's been two years since we last met, but my little brother still recognizes his sister."

The maid realized that the two were indeed her mistress's relatives.

He then quietly slipped out.

The middle-aged man carefully bent down and said,

“I’ve seen…”

Ren Jinnu hurriedly said,

"Father, how could your daughter dare to ask you to pay your respects? Please sit down."

It turns out that the two men were Ren Jinnu's father, Ren Zhi, and his younger brother, Ren Qiang.

Ren Zhi sat on the chair by the door.

"I received your letter and came here with Qiang'er."

Ren Jinnu saw her father's restrained manner,

"Father, I am still your daughter."

"I have only recently become the king's concubine,"

"These past few days I've been busy dealing with matters concerning the Royal Bank,"

"I just had a spare moment and sent someone to deliver a letter to you."

Chapter 1766 Watermarks

"Is everything alright at home?"

Ren Qiang, however, was playing in Ren Jinnu's lap.

Suddenly I noticed a puddle of water on the table.

There was also a strange smell, which made me wrinkle my nose.

"Sister, what's on your table?"

"It tastes really weird."

Ren Jinnu looked over,

But these were traces she had left with Zhao Yuanen just now.

She hurriedly pulled a silk handkerchief from under the table to wipe it away.

With a flushed face, she said, "It's water, isn't it?"

Ren Qiang shook his head and said, "Why would the water taste strange?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Jinnu

This only made him feel more embarrassed.

Ren Zhi had actually been here for quite some time.

But after hearing that the king was inside,

So he waited on the first floor with his son.

I didn't dare come up.

Upon entering the house, one could smell the lingering odor.

He's been through it all.

He naturally knew what had just happened in this room.

Although it was a little awkward,

But mostly I felt happy.

After all, his daughter was able to win the favor of the King of Liang.

The higher the status,

The Ren family will then be able to gain more benefits.

Seeing this, Ren Zhi hurriedly came to the rescue,

"Qiang'er, come here,"

"Stop bothering your sister."

"No, I want to stay with my sister."

Ren Jinnu smiled and said, "Since you want to be with me, little brother,"
