Chapter 236: The Emperor Weeping Poor
Although the eunuch had not finished speaking, Zhou Nianzhen had already understood his next words. Although the censor seemed insignificant, it was a double-edged sword for the emperor, which made people like and dislike each other.
"Does the old man have a good plan?"
"Although Old Prime Minister Zhen has no great achievements, he has no great mistakes, and he has a great reputation in the court. Some things are not as good as they are." He said this and said lightly, "The Cao family just wants to change their appearance, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a daughter of the Zhen family."
Zhou Nianzheng suddenly looked slightly as he heard Shen Qingci's words, and even the chess piece in his hand was stopped in the air by him. As for the obedient eunuch on one side, he was already sweating profusely, looking at Shen Qingci, who was as stable as Mount Tai there in surprise.
"Sir, I know my intentions very well." He looked at the eunuch on one side and said to him, "I heard that the old Prime Minister Zhen was unconscious, so I ordered Duke Pei to comfort me. The daughter of the Zhen family can get married by herself."
"promise."
Just when the eunuch was about to retreat, Zhou Nianzhen suddenly spoke, but his expression was quite cautious this time, "You can bring Cao Hongxuan into the palace."
Although the eunuch was a little confused, he didn't dare to say anything more. He nodded softly and then retreated. Shen Qingci smiled and said, "Is there anyone in his heart who chooses?"
"The Zhen family girl doesn't want to do it. The one who has been willing since childhood, although Cao Hong is middle-aged, his appearance is not bad. I am not worried that I can't find a daughter in aristocratic family."
When Cao Hong was donating silver privately, he told him intentionally or unintentionally about changing the family. This is why he has been on the wall. He thought that the Zhen family girl would not suffer too much, but who would have thought that it would lead to so many things.
"Your Majesty has something to do in his mind recently?"
"Although Beicang Kingdom slowed down its offensive momentum in the twelfth month of the year, I was always worried that Ran Yichen would have hidden a huge disaster in private, so I have been unable to sleep at night recently."
When Zhou Nianzheng said this, his face was always solemn. He was also very helpless in the chaotic emperor. Who made such a mess when he took over? So even with the reputation, he promoted the fifth generation to join, because only enough food and salary could prevent the soldiers guarding the front line from being distracted.
He always thought that his father was too thorough and lacked the momentum of enterprisingness, but when he sat in this position, he found that his father had done well enough, and he obviously had many shortcomings.
Just like the disasters of the northern and southern families today, if the father was still alive, no matter how tough the two forces were, they would not be like today. Although he was the emperor in troubled times, he would never be willing to be a puppet.
——It is better to break jade than to make a complete tiles.
"Your Majesty is not bad, but this vision should be taken longer, such as the capital of Beicang Kingdom."
Shen Qingci placed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard. Seeing that the draw that was still stalemate just now, Zhou Nianzhen also gave a slight blow, but at this time he focused all his attention on Shen Qingci's words, and he didn't care about the winner or lose in the chess game.
"What does this mean by sir?"
Even if he deliberately suppressed the anxiousness in his heart, how could Shen Qingci not see the clues? He silently muttered in his heart: Even if he is old, he still has too little experience after all.
If Zhou Chengyun is still alive, it is undeniable that it will be difficult for him to seize power in the future. Even if the person in front of him is getting richer, it will be quite difficult for him. But that person is dead after all, and some things have been destined from the beginning.
Why did he do his best to help Zhou Nianzhen guard the broken mountains and rivers? He just didn't want to be devastated when he took over in the future. And if he let the beast Ran Yichen hit him in front of him, all his plans would become a daydream.
"No matter how brave and good at fighting, Ran Yichen is just a prince. Now that the prince of Beicang has been established, he is too popular."
"But the possibility of being alienated by Ran Yichen and the mother of the East Milkyakami of the Beikang Kingdom is extremely small, I'm afraid..." He said suddenly and chuckled again, "I'm crazy, how can I have a family affection in this prosperous era of imperial power?"
When he said this, he looked no more joy and anger, only heavy. Shen Qingci's eyes when he looked at the chessboard suddenly paused slightly, and his eyes looked at him became more cautious. Such an understanding should not be said by his age.
——It can only be said that none of the royal people are simple. They have surpassed many adults in their view of human nature.
"I hope to wait for good news from Your Majesty."
Shen Qingci always kept a light smile on his face. He was not going to pull out his connections and serve as a raft for him. Moreover, with many years of foundation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it should not be difficult to find someone who is eloquent and smart.
After Shen Qingci left, Zhou Nianzhen announced that everyone in Liao entered the palace. Although she had been controlling the financial resources of the royal family over the years, she knew a little about the people secretly planted by the royal family. Although his father handed over the hands of the people planted in Beicang Kingdom to him early in the morning, he still wanted to test Liao Nishang.
——See if she is aware of this.
It would be fine if she didn't know the situation, but if she knew, she would be responsible for this matter, and only she could make herself quite at ease.
However, the facts proved that he was too worried. Liao Nishang really didn't know about the spy of Beicang Kingdom. This was enough to see clearly from his indirect words, so he had to change one sentence: "I heard that my aunt has recently pushed her business to Mizhou, and I think she has achieved a considerable record?"
"…Your Majesty is intent."
When the world was not in chaos, she set up a semicolon in Mizhou, but she didn't care much at that time, but she also attached great importance to the matter of Mizhou since she retreated to Jizhou, otherwise she would not have met the governor of Mizhou in private.
It seems that today I know that I met the governor of Mizhou.
"I and my aunt are on the same boat. I don't want to care for me. If my aunt has anything, please tell me."
"promise."
"Aunt, I'm at hand recently..."
Liao Nishang looked over the sky speechlessly, and finally gritted his teeth and promised: "I wonder how much money His Majesty needs?"
"Actually not a lot. You know, the snow has been falling in the north recently, and the soldiers are not covered in clothes and food and food are not filled. This really makes me worried. So I want to send someone to comfort the morale of the army. The food and grass are inseparable, so I will... just take 200,000 taels first!"
Seeing that Liao Nishang's face was not very good, Zhou Nianzhen continued to cry: "My aunt also knows that I, the emperor, are a bit cowardly. Although I have invested a lot of money in the crossbow some time ago, I want to build a group of naval troops that resist the Beicang Kingdom, and this property is indispensable."
"Subordinates...subordinates obey the order."
