Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Disloyal
In the Gentleman's Pavilion, Ruo Ao Ziyan, who received the news, nodded slightly and smiled lightly, "Since Cheng Jia wants to interfere, let him do it, so that we can be faster!"
"Yes. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Kiyoura nodded.
"Another thing is more important," Ruo Ziyan pondered for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "How did you check the matter of the helper transferred by Zhou Mujinku that you asked you to check last time?"
Qingpu turned around and walked to the bookshelf and took the bamboo slip over, and said, "Childe, this is the list compiled by the Junzi Pavilion here, and the court officials who joined forces with Zhou Mu to transfer the king's treasury, these people are the most suspicious. ”
Ruo Ao Ziyan took it and looked at the names one by one, shook his head and sighed, "People die for money, birds die for food! ”
"Childe, but these are all supporters of Lord Ling Yin, and they have all supported us over the years, if we do this, will we be criticized......?
Ruo Ao Ziyan chuckled, threw the bamboo slip in his hand casually, threw it on the table, and suddenly made a noise, then picked up a cup of tea and drank it leisurely, and asked lightly: "Qingpu, do you think they are simply supporting my father and supporting my Ruo Ao clan?"
"Loyalty based on an alliance of interests is like a silver needle in this cup, as long as someone rises up a storm, he will leave with the waves. ”
Ruo Ziyan smiled when he heard this, looked at the undulating silver needles in the cup, and suddenly sprinkled the water in his hand outward, and poured it all to the ground, "That's why they want to climb up to my Ruo Ao clan! It's just to get a piece of the pie from my Ruo Ao clan's hands, even if the scraps are cold, because we hold the greatest power in the Chu State." ”
Qingpu frowned slightly when he heard this, "Forgive Qingpu for being stupid and unable to understand." ”
"Then you have to think about it again.
The Zhou family has existed for too long, and they have made huge profits by collecting wealth for all parties, but they have never been loyal to only their interests.
Look at a Zhou Jinghua, a young lady who was originally the pride of the sky, and said that if she was given to Ruo Ao Yuejiao, she would be given to Ruo Ao Yuejiao.
Why?
Because in the heart of Zhou Mu, an old ghost, interests are the most important. ”
Qingpu opened his mouth and said, "Isn't Childe worried that Zhou Mu will fall to the eldest prince's side?"
Ruo Ao Ziyan stood up and walked to the window, opened the curtains one by one, and watched the bleak winter day outside the window reveal a faint cold light spilling into the room, and the cold and jade voice said slowly, "A person who can be pulled away by interests, today he can sell his daughter for interests, and tomorrow he can betray me for interests."
I don't need a disloyal like that!"
"Yes, Childe!"
A smile rose into her delicate face.
He felt that he would not be able to comprehend these things in his life, and he would not need to comprehend them.
From the moment they were born, the identities of him and his son determined the height they could reach in this life.
And he just needs to follow the man in front of him forever.
What he says is always right!
Knock knock knock......
There was a knock on the door.
One of the Eight Great Secret Guards, the twin brother of the Frightened Wind, pushed open the door and said, "Childe, just now the people we were watching saw Lord Zhou take Old Man Zhou to the mansion and asked to see Lord Ling Yin. ”
If Ao Ziyan suddenly hooked his lips and smiled when he heard this, there was no surprise in his eyes.
"Zhou Mu is still Zhou Mu......
Now even the friendship between Old Man Zhou and my father has been taken advantage of, and it seems that he is in a panic. ”
"Childe, are we going back now?" asked Kiyoura.
"Wait, although my father is short-sighted, he can't just make a friendship. When he has nowhere else to go, we'll strike again. ”
Qingpu nodded with a smile, "Okay, then I will ask Jingyu to continue to monitor his every move." ”
When it was dark, Ruo Ao Ziyan's side had almost dealt with the matter, and he explained to Jing Yu and them, stood up, hooked his lips and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go back and see Cheng Jia's results, and see if he has brought me any surprises!"
"Childe, when it comes to disloyalty, the biggest disloyal person should be Cheng Gongzi...... But he's between you and the lady......"
On the palace car, Qingpu asked hesitantly.
Even he could see that Cheng Gongzi approached the princess with bad intentions, and he wanted to pull the princess to his side!
"Cheng Jia, he is an opponent.
If there is one less opponent on equal level in this game, it will be a lot less interesting.
One day, I will make him work for me, only I am convinced!
And Zhou Mu!
As a moth, I have no value in existence, and it will only block my path......"
Ruo Ao Ziyan's eyes narrowed slightly, the light was restrained, the corners of his plump lips were slightly hooked, and he supported his forehead as if he was in thought.
The sound of the cold jade gradually drifted away with the gust of wind blowing into the carriage.
The man's three-dimensional facial features are illuminated by the bustling lights and shadows on both sides.
Suddenly, there was something going on and out.
It's hard to fathom.
Qingpu quietly picked up the black big on the side and draped it on Ruo Ao Ziyan's shoulder.
He knew that Childe was not asleep, just thinking about something, but he still didn't dare to make a sound.
Feeling the movements on his body, Ruo Ziyan's eyes suddenly opened slightly, and said, "It's past dinner time today, let the carriage hurry up, don't let Huang'er wait!"
"Yes!"
The person who can make Childe really care.
Now there is only a woman.
With the high whip, the palace car quickly passed through the main city street and went towards the East Palace, the bustling streets of Yingdu were suddenly left behind, and looking forward through the car window, only to see the shining lights of the Zhu Palace standing high above the city of Yingdu.
At that time, in the East Palace, the red lights were also hung up one by one, and Si Hua watched from a distance that all the lights in the study were lit, and saw the figures floating inside through the doors and windows, and turned around and went back to the dormitory.
"Lady, Lord Cheng is still checking the accounts with everyone, and the horse hasn't come back yet, are we going to have a meal?"
"Wait, it's dinner time, and he should be back. In the study, you send someone to bring them dinner, they should be busy until late, you prepare the supper, and the guest room is ready. ”
Mi Huang nodded and commanded, then turned his head to look out the window, looking at the bleak crescent moon that was gradually rising and the deep night sky.
It's already dark, and he hasn't come back today!
It seems to be getting busier......
"Yes. "Si Painter was ordered to go out and make arrangements.
Continue to bow her head and practice bookkeeping, this afternoon she followed Mo Lao and them to learn the most basic addition and subtraction and bookkeeping.
If she did, she wouldn't have been fooled like her father.
Mi Huang practiced again.
A salute sounded outside the door of the East Palace, "Return to the palace!"
Mi Huang glanced at the hourglass on the low table, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, the time was fine, it was a moment late.
If Ao Ziyan walked into the dormitory for the first time, he saw the woman who was obediently staying on the bed and didn't know what to write, and couldn't help but smile lightly on his lips and asked, "Are you still uncomfortable today?"
"It's okay, it's just that there is a little sour in my stomach occasionally, and the rest is nothing. Mi Huang put down his pen and replied.
Her body is much stronger than Princess Wu, and in the past few days, she has learned to dance with the witch, and she does feel a strong force.
"What to do?"
Ruo Ao Ziyan had already picked up the big fur on one side and draped it on her, a pair of plain hands fell on her lower abdomen, and his eyes swept silently over the rows of numbers on the bamboo slips on the low table.
"I'm learning to read accounts, and I'm afraid that one day, I'll be fooled like my father......" replied.
"How so?"
Ruo Ao Ziyan chuckled, circled her and said, "There is a husband, no one can fool my daughter!"
Then he carefully picked her up, "Get up and eat, you have been lying down all afternoon, you should also get up and move, otherwise it will not be good for our children to be weak like Princess Wu." ”
"Well, I also learned the witch dance for an hour this afternoon, and it feels like there is a force protecting our children. Mi Huang said with a new look.
"Then why don't you dance a little and show me!"
Ruo Ziyan had never seen Mi Yan dancing, and he was interested when he heard the words.
"The shrine maiden said that on the day of the snow, the young priest will hear my prayers in the heavens, bless our children, bless us. ”
Mi Huang carefully put his hands on his stomach, feeling the beating of the Weibo, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and Ruo Ao Ziyan said that he would cook wine with her that day.
The two talked about the topic of "children" again, and went to the study after dinner, Cheng Jia and everyone were busy until this time, and they had not yet eaten, and finally counted all the income of the treasury of the king of Chu in the first quarter of this year.
Mo Lao frowned and analyzed with his old experience, "There is really something wrong with this account...... These figures add up to half of the year-end figures originally reported to us by Lord Zhou, and in the remaining three quarters, the war between our Chu State and Yong is coming to an end, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance has won a complete victory, and the number of property plundered from Yong State should make up for what was used in the past three years of war, and it will definitely far exceed this number. ”
Ruo Ziyan heard that he took Mo Lao's account book, looked at it carefully under his explanation, and the corners of his plump lips raised a mocking chuckle, "If there was no problem, he wouldn't have burned the entire study so eagerly after the disaster relief account book was lost." ”
glanced at Cheng Jia, nodded and praised, "Sure enough, with you joining, this is a lot more efficient." ”
The corners of Cheng Jia's lips pursed a smile, quite a bit of Ruo Ziyan's confidence and calmness and the taste of calculating, "You can't let the Zhou family escape this winter, then next year, your plan to train the army to the king will be delayed." ”
Ruo Ao Ziyan nodded, and flicked his fingers on the account book, "Within three years, my Chu State must complete the plan to increase the army and strengthen the army and go north to the Central Plains." ”
Mi Huang couldn't help but look at the two of them.
It always felt like there was a secret agreement between them that she didn't know about.
Cheng Jia seemed to be aware of it, and subconsciously looked at Mi Huang, but if Ao Ziyan had already changed his hand to hold her, he hugged her waist intimately, lowered his head and chuckled, "What are you looking at, looking so distracted?"
Mi Huang came back to his senses, "Why can't I understand what you said? When will my Chu State increase its troops?"
Her father did not issue such an order, and no one in the court, including Ling Yin, proposed to increase the number of troops to the north.
"Have you forgotten, what you told the King of Chu about going north to attack Jin in the Three Kingdoms Alliance?" Ruo Ao Ziyan replied with raised eyebrows.
"You mean, we're going to start preparing now?"
Mi Huang was slightly stunned.
Suddenly he found that he was far from keeping up with the two of them.
"Otherwise, do we have to wait until the Jin State fights like the Yong Kingdom, and our Chu State will make preparations this time?"
Ruo Ao Ziyan chuckled, "Huang'er, I heard that I have been stupid for three years when I am pregnant, and it seems that I will have to worry about you a lot in the future." ”
"That's why you want to move the Zhou family?"
Because the Zhou family has been secretly seeking huge profits everywhere, it will inevitably hinder Ruo Ao Ziyan's plan to increase troops and raise troops.
"Hehe, Huang'er, you finally understand. ”
Ruo Ao Ziyan looked at Mi Huang's expression that finally came to her senses, nodded her Qiong nose, and then said to Qingpu, "Come on, it's getting late, let's take the princess back first! ”
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Qingpu smiled and ordered someone to swing and respectfully invite Mi Huang back to the palace.
Mi Huang wanted to ask more, but finally sighed and walked towards the dormitory step by step.
Forget it, with them, these things shouldn't be wrong.
Cheng Jia twisted his eyebrows slightly, watching the woman gradually disappear into the night.
"What are you looking at?"
Ruo Ziyan's deep eyes looked at the subtle expression on his face, narrowed his eyes almost invisibly, and said, "We have to hurry up, time is running out!"
Cheng Jia nodded and ordered someone to boil him a pot of strong tea.
"I'm going to get ready for the night from tonight!"
"I'll leave it to you later!"
If Ao Ziyan is ghostly, the jaw is gone.
"You go, here I am!" After the words fell, he returned to the long case, and continued to check the accounts, only occasionally raising his eyes, passing through the red window, and staying in a certain direction in the dark night.
Slowly shaking his head.
