In the main hall, the building was empty, leaving a Japanese envoy standing in the center of the hall, wandering left and right, unable to sit and stand...
In the imperial study room, Emperor Xuan Si stepped back from his left and right servants, called Zeng Ke in, and took the secret scroll in his hand...
"Ishio Jiichi, a strategist under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, is cautious and modest, and is self-reliant. He has a mother in the family, a wife, two sons, and a fief of three thousand..." Zeng Ke bowed and recited the information in the secret scroll.
Emperor Xuan Si smiled and said that there was no need to read the secret scroll. He put it directly on the table, pointed at Xiao Zhezi, and pointed at Zeng Ke. Xiao Zhezi immediately understood and turned around and moved a pier to the screen, which was placed behind Zeng Ke.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zeng Ke bowed and sat down slowly.
"There are no outsiders in the room, so you should be less polite..." Emperor Xuan Si smiled and twisted his beard, then put down his hand, and asked softly: "I heard that you have recently recognized your adopted son..."
"Yes," Zeng Ke smiled slightly and murmured in a low voice: "Although this boy is a little low-born, he is very smart in business. In just a few months, a bank has become four... At this time, he also plans to open a shop in Qi County and Henan County..."
"Hahaha... OK, Qihua's move is really beautiful! I heard that how many Jiangnan money houses in the capital have been closed?"
"Three families..." Zeng Ke replied slowly, then a trace of solemnity appeared on his face. After thinking about it over and over again, he couldn't help but speak...
"Your Majesty... aren't you worried at all..."
When Emperor Xuan Si heard this, he gradually put away the smile on his face and asked in a deep voice: "What am I... worried about?"⑧①ZW.????m
Zeng Ke frowned and looked up at Xiao Zhezi...
Xiaozhezi immediately raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked out of the imperial study room, closing the door tightly.
Zeng Ke then bowed his hand and said with a serious expression: "This... I shouldn't have said it, but Prince Yan is now... I have a lot of military, horses, money, and status in the world... I am really a little uneasy..."
"Oh..." Emperor Xuan Si nodded, then asked with a smile: "Then what you mean is... I should kill her?"
Zeng Ke was silent for a long time after hearing this... nodded... but shook his head quickly...
"This woman can strengthen Liang Guo's reputation for a hundred years... Killing her is like waving a knife and breaking her arm, and it will also cause the ancestor to be in danger of killing him..."
"Look, don't you all know this? Then you still tell me this?" Emperor Xuan Si laughed out loud, raised the tea bowl on the table and took a sip.
"But, this is a hidden danger that endangers Your Majesty, I must say! If Prince Yan is in his heart..."
"No need..." Emperor Xuan Si waved his hand and interrupted Zeng Ke's advice. His other hand slowly lowered the tea bowl, then stood up and said loudly: "The child Qihua and I are now thicker than water. We cherish each other. If possible, I even thought about entrusting the Liang Kingdom and the Wang temple to her..."
"Your Majesty?? You... take it seriously...??"
Before Zeng Ke finished speaking, he saw Emperor Xuan Si nodding with a calm face, and he was stunned in place...
"It's a pity that this child is too lazy... she is not happy..." Emperor Xuan Si smiled bitterly and shook his head, and began to pace back and forth in the study. While walking, he pondered: "What I am more worried about now is that after I'm a hundred years, my rebellious son will be afraid that he will do the stupid thing of harming her and destroying the Great Wall! By then, it was really the day when the ancestral temple was lost and the disaster was about to come..."
"Your Majesty said that the ancestors will..."
"I am talking about him 'Li family'! The ancestor killed the third and one of them at most, but this is enough to let the Li family take advantage of the situation and replace him! From the beginning to the end, my great troubles were the Li family..." Emperor Xuan Si had already seen the current situation clearly and thoroughly. He knew all of whom, what would do, and what would happen. It was not that he had to favor Yan Qihua, but that he knew very well...
Yan Qihua is the key to protecting the eternal prosperity of the royal family’s bloodline...
Because Yan Qihua...
Too much affection...
And the Li family...
I will never leave "futures" for myself just because I was a bloody relative with the royal family!
When He Yougui and Zeng Ke both thought that the emperor wanted to pass the throne to an outsider and was simply crazy, only Emperor Xuan Si knew in his heart that he was the only sober...
At least... the Wang family can be king for generations... and will not be liquidated by the whole family...
Thinking of this, Emperor Xuan Si suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Zeng Ke, and asked in a deep voice: "How do you think...Wensheng's child...?"
"The Fourth Prince is talented and broad-minded, so he is the best choice for Your Majesty!" Zeng Ke knew the true meaning of the emperor's words, so he did not hide it, and said something directly.
"Okay... With your heartfelt words, it can be considered to help me dispel Yu Nian..." Emperor Xuan Si raised his head and sighed, then turned around and walked to the Longshu desk, writing straight...
After a while, a secret decree stamped with the jade seal was handed over to Zeng Ke by Emperor Xuan Si.
"This edict... I can only feel at ease if I give it to you..."
Zeng Ke was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up, knelt in front of Long Shu's desk, raised his hands above his head, and slowly took over the secret order...
Content…He doesn't have to read…
But the weight of this seal... is enough to make this man who can still face his face tremble all over...
Because what is pretended here is not only the inheritance of the country's throne, but also the absolute trust of both Jun and Friends...
"I will definitely protect the imperial edict with death!! I will not let down the emperor's grace!!"
Emperor Xuan Si looked at Zeng Ke's fearful look and laughed directly. While pulling him up, he said loudly: "I don't need you to die. Just remember to wait for me to take out this edict after 'a hundred years'..."
After Zeng Ke got up, Emperor Xuan Si thought about it again, then patted his shoulder and continued, "Go and call back all my eunuchs, and the Japanese envoys in the hall, let them lead them in together..."
"yes!"
Zeng Ke bowed and bowed, then put the edict in his arms, and bowed and retreated...

After Shiojiji was led into the imperial study by a young eunuch, Emperor Xuansi kept criticizing the memorials and did not even look up at him...
Shiwei Jichi was confused and "stopped" in the imperial study room. He stood for two hours. It was not until noon that Emperor Xuan Si collected the last memorial, stood up, stretched his waist, waved his hand at Xiaozhezi, and turned around and walked towards the back hall...
At this time, Xiaozhezi took out an edict from his arms that had been prepared in advance and handed it to Shiwei Jichi, and then arranged a small eunuch to send him out of the palace...
During this period, Emperor Xuan Si never said a word to him.
Until Shio Yuji, who was confused, held the edict and returned to the guild hall to open and watch, his legs became weak and he suddenly sat on the ground!
