Liu Jun got off the chariot in front of Huangji Palace, raised his hand and looked at the watch. It was made of crystal and gold by a master craftsman, and also inlaid with diamond gold watches to show that it was almost noon. ←,. Standing at the gate of the palace, you can also hear the laughter and joy inside, as well as the orchestral silk songs. The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager both like to listen to operas, so there is a special palace music class in Huangji Palace.

The Admiral of the Interior Affairs Office reached out to call a small eunuch and asked, "Have the Queen and all the concubines arrived, too?"

The little eunuch replied quickly, "It's all here. Li's father, the Marquis of Huai'an, was ordered to visit Li today. When the emperor learned about it, he specially invited Governor Li. At this moment, the emperor, several marquises and princesses, were listening to the opera, and the empress dowager was with the masters and the eldest princesses, and the princesses, playing cards with the empress dowager."

Liu Jun nodded and walked inside. He walked around the main hall. As expected, on one side was Yiyiya singing, but on the other side, the Empress Dowager's heartfelt laughter came. Liu Jun went to the east wing first and saw the Emperor, two brothers and four brothers and brothers-in-law. The fourth brother-in-law Fu Shan was absent. He had already left the capital and went to Nanyue to serve as the governor of Annan, responsible for the fight against the Nanyue war.

The fifth brother-in-law Zhang Shan took over the position of Zuo Secret Envoy from Fu Shan and went to Beijing from the Central Plains to take office. The Supreme Emperor also had Li Shuchu whom he had met in the morning. He and Zhang Shan were old partners when he was in Henan, one was the governor and the other was the admiral. Now Li Shuchu has become the governor and the military aircraft counselor, and Zhang Shan is the left prison and the military aircraft counselor.

On the other hand, Li Shuchu's daughter is now Liu Jun's concubine, and Zhang Shan was originally Liu Jun's brother-in-law, and now Liu Jun's brother-in-law. The Supreme Emperor and Li Shuchu are also relatives of children, so they knew that he had entered the palace to see his pregnant daughter, so they invited him to come.

When everyone saw the emperor coming in, they all stood up to salute. The eunuchs and palace servants retreated aside, and the music crew members also stopped. This dynasty did not kneel down, because the emperor had already made an order, so when he saw the emperor coming in, he just bowed and bowed.

"The emperor is here." Liu Xiu also stood up and smiled, "I have practiced a new music class recently and have rehearsed several new songs. I'm still waiting for you to give me some advice."

Liu Jun walked to his father and sat down, greeted everyone one by one. They were all brothers and relatives of the family, so there was no need to be so polite. "Who doesn't know that this music class of my father is famous in the capital? I heard that he was invited to perform last week at the Beijing Grand Theater. However, he received praise from countless viewers, and the applause lasted for several minutes."

Liu Xiu said proudly, "Of course, many theaters in the capital now want to invite them to stage, and the appearance fee is thousands of yuan at a time."

The Emperor of the Supreme Emperor raised more than this music troupe. He also paid for the establishment of many opera troupes. One of the most famous opera troupes is the most famous Kunqu opera troupe in the capital of the Han Dynasty. Kunqu opera was originally a southern opera form that originated in the Yuan Dynasty. By the time of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it had entered the capital. It became the largest opera genre and the most influential vocal opera genre today. The troupe of the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor even brought together famous Kunqu opera masters. Especially this troupe, not only performed in the palace for the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor to watch, but Liu Xiu also paid for a large theater in the capital that could accommodate thousands of people, so that the troupe could perform on stage from time to time, and the people of the capital could watch.

Liu Jun's concubine Chen Yuanyuan used to sing operas, singing Yiyang accent in Kunqu opera. Last time on the birthday of the Supreme Emperor, Chen Yuanyuan sang birthday with Liu Rushi and Chen Man and others.

Now the capital is prosperous and the industry and commerce are booming, which has also caused the rise of culture and entertainment, such as Kunqu opera, some juggling performances, some musical instrument performances, and even crosstalk. The capital now has not only large theaters that can accommodate thousands of people, but also many small venues.

Even in some restaurants and tea shops, there are artists who perform for guests, either sing music or playing the piano. Liu Jun is also supportive of these changes. When people solve their desire to speak, they will also pursue some spiritual enjoyment. Songs, dances and music arts are not all indifferent, nor does it mean that they pursue pleasure but not enterprising.

"Emperor, I am planning to build a special theater academy to find some people to teach, recruit young and talented children, learn various string music, and various opera accents. What do you think?" asked the Supreme Emperor.

"This is a good thing. I agree with my father's plan. If there is any place that requires me to do my work, just speak."

After listening to the song with the Supreme Emperor for a while, Liu Jun got up and said goodbye, saying that he would go to see the Empress Dowager first.

"Go and go, those girls get together, except playing mahjong and playing mahjong. Mahjong will be more exciting than listening to operas." Liu Xiu said with a smile.

Liu Jun got up and went out, but when he entered the west side hall, he saw that his sister-in-law Mei had been waiting there for a long time.

"You guys go down first." Liu Jun waved his hand and asked the eunuch who followed him to retreat.

After the eunuchs dispersed from afar, Mei walked up with uneasiness.

"His Majesty."

Liu Jun smiled, "Is this family dinner arranged by my sister-in-law today?"

Mei did not deny it, "Your Majesty, I really don't know that my brother is so irresponsible and is causing such a big deal."

"What do you mean is all your brother's fault?"

Liu Jun's face darkened as he said, "It seems that you don't realize the seriousness of this matter at all, nor do you understand the true nature of it. Do you think that it was just a few people who died or injured?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't dare to think so."

"You don't need to say that I know what you think, sister-in-law, you know that you have always been a smart person. I still remember that I used to hide outside for a few years, and my father and mother were taking care of her at home. But there is a saying that it's too smart to do everything, but it's a waste of Qingqing's life. Is there anything else you don't feel satisfied with now? It's always a million times better than when I was in Macheng in the past?"

Liu Jun snorted coldly, "Last year alone, I rewarded you with 200,000 silver dollars, not including various gold, silver and jewelry. Besides, I have also distributed dry shares to you in several mineral companies, and the dividends are at least 100,000 yuan a year. You have also bought a lot of land in the past few years, and the total amount is more than 10,000 acres."

Liu Jun is very clear about how much money and property his brother Liu Zhao's family has. He doesn't say anything rich, but he must have a net worth of millions of silver dollars. Where did these come from? Not all of them were rewarded by Liu Jun.

To be honest, my brother Liu Zhao is a person with no ability. He is not civil or military, and he can't do anything. Now he has a marquis and has a rank of Zongzheng Temple as a minister of Zongzheng Temple. He has taken great care of him. If he really wants him to be an official and do business, he will definitely not be able to do it for a long time.

In fact, Liu Jun is not not taking care of his family. For brothers, sisters, and even relatives such as father-in-law, Liu Jun gave them some benefits, that is, they gave them the opportunity to participate in some shares in their own industries. All of Liu Jun's industries are extremely profitable. If you have the opportunity to participate in a share, you will make money any amount, and you will make money without losing money. They don't have to worry about managing it. There is a professional manager team responsible, and they just need to sit and pay dividends.

Such a good thing is even more profitable than buying land and collecting rent.

Unfortunately, the smart sister-in-law Mei was not satisfied and insisted on starting a company by herself. The company is so easy to start, and business is so easy to do? It is almost extremely difficult for a completely amateur to do business and want to do a lot of money when they come.

In the end, Mei's family just took the path of official wealth and money transactions, opened a construction and development company, took notes from Liu Jian, and took projects behind the scenes, and then a second-rate team. As a result, something happened when the first project started. Originally, there would definitely be some demolition problems when land development encountered. In this era, there would not be such a powerful nail household in later generations. If the conditions were slightly more reasonable, the other party would definitely accept it.

But the brother of Mei’s family did not play according to common sense. He betrayed people, forced demolition, and even beat people, but in the end he stabbed three people to death.

"Sister-in-law, don't dislike it. Do you know how much effort the imperial court spent to establish a good business order? But you just want to make a project that can earn at most 100,000 silver dollars, conduct behind-the-scenes operations, power-money transactions, bullying people by tying people, forcing demolition, and beating people. As soon as this happened, you ruined the credit that the imperial court spent countless time and energy to build. Have you ever heard of a piece of rat shit destroying a pot of porridge?"

"You opened an extremely bad head and set an extremely bad example. The thousand-mile dike was destroyed by an ant hole. You just got a small hole in the dam that the court worked hard to build, but in the end it might cause the thousand-mile dike to burst."

Mei was indeed a little distracted in her heart, thinking that if there were no dead people, it would not be a big deal. Although the emperor's brother's company had some behind-the-scenes operations, it was nothing.

But now, after Liu Jun said this, she finally felt very uneasy.

"This matter has been handed over to Dali Temple, and the Censorate has also intervened. There is a Dongchang and Jinyiwei responsible for investigating and collecting evidence. There will be a fair trial in this matter. In the end, the judgment will be made as it should be. I will not abuse my law and will not make any kindness outside the law."

Mei's eyes widened in shock.

"Your Majesty, can't you spare this time?"

"There will be no exception. The specific judgment must be decided by Dali Temple. But now I can tell you that your company will not only be closed down, but all those involved will be punished. The eldest brother will be removed from the position of Zongzheng Temple. Your brother will bear the main responsibility, at least ten years of labor reform. In addition, Liu Jian's Shuntian Prefecture will also be removed from his post. I am still considering whether to lower the titles of the eldest brother and the third brother."

"Also, the case will be publicly sentenced in the end. Your brother, your elder brother, you, and your third brother, all the things you have involved in, the mistakes you have made will be made public, including your punishment."

"Your Majesty, we are a family. Even if I am wrong, you can't think of the relationship between the next family?"

"Stop talking, the impact of this case is extremely bad. If I do not punish it severely, it will not be able to recover the extremely bad impact of this matter."

"If I hadn't remembered my previous relationship, this incident would have been enough for me to ask my elder brother to give you a divorce letter!"

Liu Jun's words made Mei's face pale. She had never expected that the emperor's reaction to this matter was so great. (To be continued.)
