Chu Zhengqian's words once again silenced Emperor Meng Zhao. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, he will not believe all of them, and while it is true that it can be a small part of it, it is definitely not the key.
In Emperor Meng Zhao's opinion, Chu Zhengqian was indeed scheming.
Moreover, he could clearly deduce that although this son lost power in Northern Chu, there were definitely extremely powerful people around him who secretly supported and gave advice.
His ninth princess is smart and erudite, and now she is only thirteen or fourteen, and she has the potential to stand alone, and it will be immeasurable in a few years.
To tell the truth, with his understanding of Axia over the past few months, if this girl is a man, her intelligence is definitely comparable to that of the pillars of the country, even if it is just a daughter's family, she will have a great opportunity to make a lot of contributions to this Southern Mengjiang River in the future.
He worked hard to cultivate such an outstanding and talented princess, but it was not for him to marry other countries and help others rise and revitalize other countries!
Moreover, Ah Xia, the girl, has a deep relationship with the third brother and sister, and she will really marry Beichu in the future, but whenever this girl asks the third child for anything, most of the third child will respond to her request, and if it involves Ah Xia's personal safety, there will be no hesitation.
Chu Zhengqian probably also took a fancy to this, and all kinds of reasons were combined, and being able to marry A Xia was of course much better than marrying any of his other princesses.
"Zhengqian, it's not that I can't consider this condition of yours, but you should also know that Ah Xia is the best and most outstanding among so many princesses of mine, and if she is married to Beichu, the agreement between us will be a big loss."
After a while, Emperor Meng Zhao tactfully denied Chu Zhengqian's request.
Originally, the marriage was just an add-on to the agreement to maintain stability, if it was changed like this, wouldn't it be the same as letting Chu Zhengqian take more benefits?
"The emperor's words are not very appropriate, could it be that in your heart, the fifth princess is not as valuable as the ninth princess? As far as I know, you have always been very fond of the fifth princess over the years, why did I propose to change the candidate, and the emperor is so favorable? ”
Chu Zhengqian refuted Emperor Meng Zhao's sentence "It's a big loss" as if he was joking, but in his heart he admired Emperor Meng Zhao's vision and cunning.
Although they are both princesses, and even in terms of birth, Meng Jin is better than Meng Xia, but in addition to this, there is really no place where that stupid and evil woman is qualified to compare with Meng Xia.
Hearing this, Emperor Meng Zhao shook his head indifferently: "How can this be favoritism, as their father, my love for them is naturally the same, but the royal family affairs are even more state affairs, so the value embodied by each person is naturally completely different." ”
"I think you can understand it, otherwise why do you have to appoint my ninth princess?"
In the end, Emperor Meng Zhao asked with a smile, but he also broke through the mystery with one sentence.
"The emperor is wise, hearing you say this, I am even more determined to this idea."
Seeing this, Chu Zhengqian didn't have the slightest intention of retreating from the school, but simply proposed: "Otherwise, in addition to the original agreement, after the matter is completed, I will let you have two more cities, which can be regarded as an additional dowry for the ninth princess." Your Majesty, what do you think? ”
It has to be said that negotiation is always the most practical skill that those in power need to master, and as far as Chu Zhengqian is concerned, he does not have the capital to cooperate without negotiating, but can only try to maximize his interests in the course of appropriate concessions.
"Two cities? Well, you're a big deal, but ......."
Emperor Meng Zhao squinted slightly, looked at Chu Zhengqian like a fox, and then said, "I heard you say before, just that Ah Xia is more interesting than Jin'er. One fun is worth two cities, can you figure it out? ”
"Of course, there is no joke in front of the king, how can Zhengqian joke with the emperor?"
Chu Zhengqian also spread it out and said straightforwardly: "I know that the emperor must have doubts in his heart, but no matter how you say it, the two cities are enough to be regarded as a big enough benefit, even if there are no other conditions in the past, in the future, I should be very sincere in hiring the two cities." ”
"That's true, but I really can't bear to marry the ninth princess in a foreign country, and for me, she is not just an ordinary princess. Even if it's been a long time, but now that I think about it, it's really not all about the two cities. ”
Emperor Meng Zhao sighed with emotion, but he neither nodded in agreement nor explicitly refused.
To be honest, it is indeed not a small number of two cities to be hired, but the more Chu Zhengqian has such a big hand, the more he can't easily do what he wants.
It seems that he, the ninth princess, is really priceless in the eyes of Chu Zhengqian, but I am afraid that there are some special factors that he has not thought of for the time being.
Seeing that Emperor Meng Zhao deliberately manipulated it, Chu Zhengqian sneered in his heart.
After being silent for a moment, he was also full of thought, and said with a look of having to back down again: "If the emperor is so reluctant to love his daughter, there is still a compromise way for Zhengqian." ”
"Oh, tell me about it." Hearing this, Emperor Meng Zhao asked himself.
"If after the matter is completed, the emperor can let Zhengqian cede a city power as a princess dowry, and Zhengqian will no longer be forced to marry any princess."
Chu Zhengqian's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and it was no different to face Emperor Meng Zhao's same bargaining.
Hearing this, Emperor Meng Zhao laughed out loud at the moment, stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Zhengqian and said: "You, you, it's really a good calculation, I found that your father didn't appoint you, the rightful successor, as the crown prince, which is really the biggest mistake he made in his life!" ”
Emperor Meng Zhao seemed to praise with a smile on his face, but he had already snorted coldly in his heart.
Chu Zhengqian made it clear that he was advancing by retreating, but he didn't know how many twists and turns there were in his intestines at a young age, and he was indeed not a good scumbag.
But when it comes to this, it is unrealistic to want to maintain the original agreement without making any changes, and in the final analysis, he cannot allow any loss in this overall situation.
But if you don't agree to change people, this time in and out, he is equivalent to three less cities, if you agree to change people, who knows what this kid really has in his heart?
Chu Zhengqian is not a fool, he dares to give up two more cities to exchange for Meng Xia, that must be a purpose, maybe in the future, Ah Xia's value to Nan Meng is far more than these three cities!
For a while, he was really a little entangled.
"Thank you for the emperor's praise, not everyone can see things in the world as clearly as the emperor, think clearly, and make a decisive decision at the same time."
Chu Zhengqian was unequivocal, and smiled at Emperor Meng Zhao at the moment: "I don't know which method the emperor thinks is more in line with your heart?" (To be continued.) )
