Chapter 204: The Secret of the Wine Cellar!

It's the New Year, there are a lot of things, ahhhhhhh......h Ask for votes, ask for votes, ask for encouragement!

Pass it first and then correct the mistakes, forgive me!

------Off topic------

Zhao Zhu patted him on the shoulder, just one word, "Okay." ”

Chen Daniu smiled, "Don't worry, you can't be wrong about what you explained to me, the fifty people who dug the wine cellar are all my henchmen selected one by one." You told me, no one should believe me, and I was stunned that no one said...... Even Jinghua didn't know. ”

Zhao Zhu's voice was low and his eyes were deep.

"Is there any suspicion?"

There was no one around, so he gave up his hand and said: "Your Highness, according to your orders, I have set up a wine sales survey document in Yingtianfu Yamen, and I say that I am digging a wine cellar for storing wine." ”

He said goodbye and welcomed Zhao into the house.

Chen Daniu waved his hand, "You wait until you continue to work, don't worry about us." ”

As soon as I entered the courtyard, there were four workers guarding the door. The situation inside was completely different from that outside, and although the craftsmen and the craftsmen outside wore the same clothes, when they saw the two of them enter, their expressions were obviously different from those outside. They saluted one after another, calling His Royal Highness and the Hou Ye, and their movements were neat.

The two laughed and went directly into the inner courtyard of the wine store.

Zhao Zun nodded, "There is labor!" ”

Tie up the horse, Chen Daniu spread his hands, "Your Highness, please inside." ”

Out of Fengtianmen, Chen Daniu led the horse over and went to the Ruhua Restaurant on Taiping Street with Zhao Zhu. The liquor store has not yet opened, and as soon as you enter the door, you will see that the craftsmen are rectifying, and it is very lively to go in and out.

The polite words in the officialdom, you come and go, the left ear in, the right ear out, Chen Daniu didn't care, only said, small business, and so on the day of opening, you must be invited to go, so he perfunctory past.

The two looked at each other and smiled, patted each other on the shoulders and went out. The ministers around him also came to inquire about the flower wine shop, everyone said that Qingzhou Mansion has been a good place to brew wine since ancient times, and now the wine shop of the Ding'an Hou family is open, and you must go to the party.

"I can't ask for it. Ha ha. ”

Zhao Zhu smiled, "This king once heard that Ouyang Xiu was too punctual in Qingzhou, and once wrote a good sentence of 'The drunkard never woke up everywhere, asked what life he did in Qingzhou, retired and stayed in the guest to praise the wine, and leaned on the pillow to watch the mountains after sleeping'." Qingzhou wine, good! Since it is the invitation of the Marquis of Ding'an, the king will inevitably be grateful! However, if you are drunk, I am afraid that you will have to be disturbed from time to time in the future? ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhu was silent, he seemed to hesitate, and he said again: "Your Highness, my hometown is at the northern foot of Yunmen Mountain in Qingzhou Mansion. Hey, this time I opened this Ruhua wine shop, and I came to make a living for my brother and sister-in-law, so that the two of them would not waste time. Second, it's also to satisfy my appetite, I don't have to say this wine, one word, beautiful. ”

Chen Daniu nodded, "Qingzhou wine." ”

Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows, "Qingzhou wine? ”

Chen Daniu's eyebrows jumped, he sighed to himself, and suddenly raised his voice again, "Your Highness, I have been idle recently, and I am going to open a wine shop for my brother and sister-in-law on Taiping Street." Early this morning, a batch of fine wine has just arrived in Beijing from my hometown, His Royal Highness has always loved wine, why not go over and take a bite? ”

Seeing that he was telling the truth, Zhao Zhu's chest shook.

“……”

Thinking about it, he frowned and sighed, "Didn't I say it all, I'm a rough person." I am poor in the countryside, where can I marry so many women? One is enough. If you want more, can you still open the pot at home? I said it was because I couldn't afford it, believe it or not? ”

Chen Daniu looked at him and was slightly surprised.

Zhao Zhu stared at him deeply, and said lightly: "The big husband stands up to the sky, and the wife and concubine surround it is an ancient ceremony, and it is also the true character of a man. Why don't you want to marry Princess Wenjia, and would rather annoy Your Majesty for this? ”

Chen Daniu was bored and couldn't help muttering.

"Why doesn't Your Highness speak?"

Zhao Jun held his lips, wanting to laugh, but he didn't laugh. Yu Guang swept left and right, but he didn't see Yuan You, and he didn't see him in the early dynasty, frowning slightly.

Chen Da Niu frowned, glanced at him, and snorted to himself: "Forget it, I have corrected my daughter-in-law's name today." So what's the princess? Come on, Lao Tzu will raise an idler in the house, and he doesn't care about it. ”

Zhao Zhu looked at him lightly, the corners of his robe fluttered, and he didn't speak.

Hearing him call him "Master Hou", Chen Daniu realized that there were people around him, and he couldn't help but sigh, and arched his hand: "Let Your Highness see the joke." I'm a big old man, just a intestine, straight. I can't talk about those twists and turns. ”

"Master Hou is really straightforward."

Seeing his angry appearance, Zhao Jun pursed the corners of his lips.

"My eldest man, I can't even do the matter of marrying, it's a real bag. Lao Tzu really doesn't want to be the marquis of this Laoshizi, it's better to take my daughter-in-law back to farm, grandma's ......"

Coming out of the Fengtian Palace, the civil and military officials walked outside the palace together, Chen Daniu looked around, walked to Zhao Zhu's side, and walked side by side with him, with a gloomy look on his face.

Chen Daniu looked at his sinking face, and was about to say more, but the afterglow swept to Zhao Zhu's faint eyebrows. His heart was agitated, and he swallowed the words in his mouth alive, and had to kneel down to receive the order of thanksgiving.

This marriage, for Zhao Mianze, is not for him Chen Daniu, but the limit of what he can do for Jinghua. You must know that the marriage between Da Yan and Gao Juguo is due to the will of the Emperor Taishang, and a big country cannot go back on its word. A flat wife has already lowered the character of Princess Wenjia, but fortunately, she can prevaricate on the grounds that the eldest princess of the Celestial Dynasty cannot be a concubine.

"Ding'an Hou doesn't need to discuss it anymore, I am in charge of this matter."

Chen Daniu raised his eyes and stared at him, looking still unwilling, but Zhao Mianze quickly interrupted him, frowning his handsome brows, and the cuffs of the five-clawed golden dragon robe flicked slightly.

"Your Majesty......"

According to the marriage law in the "Da Yan Law", monogamy is a law that cannot be violated. That is to say, there is no such thing as an equal wife in the law. The reason why it is called "flat wife" is just to put on a high-sounding hat, and in the final analysis, it is just a concubine. But it's a nice name, and it's worthy of King Gogu.

Before he finished his words, Zhao Mianze frowned, and said: "Princess Wenjia's personal affairs are the permission of the emperor, and I have been involved in political affairs at the beginning, so I can't help but be considerate of the emperor's intentions." Therefore, Princess Wenjia and Ding'an Hou's family relationship cannot be annulled, and Princess Xu Wenjia is Ding'an Hou's wife. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling ......"

Chen Daniu's eyes lit up, as if he had been amnestied, and he bowed happily.

After saying it categorically, his deep gaze was clearly extinguished, but his tone was much softened, "But Ding'an Hou has a word that is extremely reasonable, if the eldest princess of my Heavenly Empire is a concubine, she is really laughing and generous, not only the people who lose me, but also the people who lose my Dayan." Spread my will, give the eldest princess Jinghua as the wife of Ding'an Hou, and accumulate a good lady. ”

"Ding'an Hou knows that mistakes can be changed, and I am also moved. For this reason, the fine shall be waived for one year. As for the fifty scepters, they will be received outside the Mukden Gate at noon tomorrow, and the ministers will watch them as an example. ”

Zhao Mianze pondered for a moment and sighed.

The remorse between his words was not half hidden, even though Zhao Mianze hated him, but his sister was already his person in the end. In the current situation, it seems that she has already bent her elbows, and her heart is on her husband.

Chen Daniu knew that his anger had not subsided, so he gritted his teeth and lowered his head, "The minister did something wrong at the beginning, and voluntarily received a punishment of fifty canes and a one-year fine. However, in order to avoid the humiliation of the eldest princess, please draft a decree to cancel the relationship between the minister and Princess Wenjia, and grant the eldest princess to be the minister's wife. ”

"How are you doing?" Zhao Mianze's voice sank again.

didn't think about it so much, he blushed, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it was the minister who lost his mind at the beginning, and he didn't know that the eldest princess was virtuous and gentle, so he treated her slowly, and now the minister and his wife are harmonious and loving, and the minister really can't bear the humiliation of the eldest princess." ”

But it's true that he owes Zhao Runa, a manly man, why not admit his mistakes?

Speaking of which, he is not a person who gives in easily.

He was not light or heavy, and he was not ruthless, but he stung Chen Daniu's body like a thorn. Chen Daniu knew that this emperor had always hated him for making his sister a concubine, and he knelt down three times and knocked into the house, just to make him lose his ugliness.

"When the eldest princess married the Hou Mansion as a concubine, it was the will of the Marquis of Ding'an who personally invited her in front of the Emperor. Only now...... Does the Marquis of Ding'an want me to withdraw the Emperor's immediate will, or does the Marquis of Ding'an repent? ”

Zhao Mianze had a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for his words.

As soon as his sonorous and powerful words fell, the people in the Fengtian Hall looked at each other, probably knowing what he meant. He is succumbing to Zhao Runa and wants to raise his wife for Zhao Runa.

Chen Daniu raised his head, glanced at him, and his voice was thick and resolute, "The minister only has one sentence, I want to ask Your Majesty and all the ministers, is it not as good as the princess of the great Yan Heavenly Dynasty in the upper kingdom of the Great Yan Heavenly Dynasty?" ”

"What did Ding'an Hou say?"

Zhao Mianze's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was not depressed by his interruption, and his tone was gentle.

Without waiting for Zhao Mianze to speak, Chen Daniu interrupted him with a shout, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down, "The minister has something to say." ”

"Your Majesty!"

"A while ago, due to the complicated affairs of the DPRK and China, I was not in a hurry to give Princess Wenjia a big gift. But since the family matter was promised by the emperor first, I should obey it. From now on, the Ministry of Rites will prepare, and the Qintian Supervisor will choose an auspicious day and a good day......"

His gaze slowly swept over Chen Daniu in the main hall, and his eyes narrowed.

He dragged his voice, and then said, "The messenger who sent the official document and the high sentence, Li Liangji has already surrendered to the Great Yan, that is, he has the heart of repentance, the new son of heaven will succeed to the great unification, and the world will be amnesty. From now on, it is better to be good neighbors and cross the river. As for Princess Wenjia's marriage......"

"What Uncle Nineteen Emperor said is extremely true."

Zhao Mianze hooked his lips slightly, and his eyes showed a smile of relief.

But the surging undercurrent is even more surging.

A fight seems to have been resolved like this.

The "party-building" seconded the proposal one after another, and the royalists looked at the emperor's face, and they also nodded knowingly, and everyone said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" Your Majesty, please decide! ”

Lu Huaming's eyes flashed, and he also nodded, "His Royal Highness King Jin is very reasonable!" ”

"The nineteenth brother is far-sighted, far-sighted, and admired by my brother."

At this time, Zhao Gou, the king of Qin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly bowed his body and showed admiration on his face.

The hall was silent for a moment, and no one spoke for a long time.

Unlike what he had thought before, Zhao Zhu did not shirk the perfunctory, but took every matter he gave seriously. He is like this, and he is more and more incomprehensible.

A smile appeared on Zhao Mianze's face.

But anyone can hear that he is really just based on an objective and neutral attitude, and has made the best way to deal with the current situation of all parties. I have to say that he handled it like this, and it can be said that he was thinking about Zhao Mianze's Jiangshan Society.

Basically, it is a third-party word.

His rhetoric differed from that of both the royalists and the party-building.

"Moreover, although the country of Gaoju is subordinate to our dynasty, its heart is surnamed Beidi, they are pro-Beidi, Yuanda Yan, this is a fact. Although it is now temporarily allied with Beidi, all of you know that it is not a long-term plan. Li Liangji can contain Gao Ju in Mao Lianwei, and he can also make Gao Ju have to be called a minister. Now, we don't have to spend a single soldier or a horse to make him fight each other. Isn't it happy? ”

"I am a rich country and a strong people, I have always been tolerant of all rivers, generous and generous, how can I not even tolerate a little Li Liangji? The amount is not a gentleman, not to mention that he has alleviated the deadlock of Dayan, but now that he is obedient to our dynasty, he will be allowed to stay in the Yalu River, what defense is there for Dayan? As for Gao Juguo, except for Li Liangji's matter, the rest were agreed one by one, that is, to promote the generous demeanor of the Dayan Heavenly Dynasty, I also had to let him know that Dayan was never influenced by others and had his own opinions. ”

"Desperate soldiers, the smoke will flow rivers of blood. If war starts, the people will suffer from the war. It is my Da Yan soldiers who died, and it is my Da Yan treasury silver that is consumed, and His Majesty's new emperor succeeds to the throne. ”

Zhao Jun came out of the queue and walked in front of Xu Pin and the others, his eyes were slightly deeper, as if he didn't notice that everyone was peeping at him, looked up at Zhao Mianze, opened his mouth coldly, and analyzed in an orderly manner.

The quarrel stopped, and all the ministers in the Fengtian Hall looked at Zhao Zhu's face, all wanting to see what this Prince of Dayan, who had been idle for so long, thought of the current situation.

The corners of Zhao Zhu's lips hooked, and there seemed to be a bit of melancholy for state affairs between his eyebrows, but if he looked closely, he had no emotion, and he was always as plain as water.

Obviously, he wanted to use this incident to make Zhao Zun show his position.

He asked abruptly and threw the question to Zhao Zhu.

"Uncle Nineteen, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhao Mianze sat high on the Jinluan chair, his eyes were half-squinted, and he suddenly smiled lightly.

The ministers were privately worried, or they took sides, or they were silent.

The two men spoke with rage.

The disposition of Li Liangji, the rebel leader of the Goju Kingdom, soon turned into a party struggle between the "royalists" and the "party building". And such a thing will be staged in the court almost every day, and it will become more and more incandescent day by day.

But in private, everyone knows that Lu Huaming's daughter Lu Xiu is Zhao Mianze's favorite concubine, he is the national abbot, and he is Zhao Mianze's party. Although Xu Wenlong, the Duke of Liang, is a relative, he has never disliked Zhao Mianze, and now he is a humerus figure in the "construction of the party".

On the bright side, it seems to be a dispute between Xu Lu and the two.

One wants to help Li Liangji take the power of Gaoguo.

One wants to help King Gaogu capture Li Liangji.

Xu Wenlong was born as a military general, and his military strategy is not comparable to Lu Huaming's civil minister. But Lu Huaming can be a secretary of the ministry, and he is not an idle person. The two of you come and go,-for-tat, arguing endlessly on the Fengtian Palace.

After that, he looked up at Zhao Mianze, "Your Majesty, although the minister doesn't know why Li Liangji lost this battle, but this person is not a thing in the pool, I only need to help him, he will definitely be able to take the high sentence again, at that time, the high sentence will be governed by him, and it will be used by me for a long time, and it will not be like now, swaying between Dayan and Beidi." Your Majesty, please. ”

"Nonsense!" Liang Guogong Xu Wenlong and Lu Huaming have always looked at each other with disgust, after listening to him, Xu Wenlong laughed out of the ranks, and sneered: "Lu Shangshu has never experienced war, and it is easy to bullet soldiers on paper." Do you think Li Liangji is so easy to fight? ”

Lu Huaming came out of the queue and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, King Gaoju has already decreed that he is willing to surrender to my Dayan." If it weren't for Li Liangji's troubles, this matter would have been completed long ago. Now that King Gaoju is rightly named, and Li Liangji is the head of the rebels, leading the remnants of the army to infiltrate Dayan, our dynasty should immediately order the Liaodong commander to lead the troops to exterminate the remnants of Li Liangji, in order to show the grandeur of our heavenly kingdom, so that the four seas come to the ......"

"What do you think should be done now?"

In the discussion of the ministers, Zhao Mianze smiled slightly.

Now, Beidi has made peace, Gao Ju is a minister, although Li Liangji was defeated, but in the end he has made meritorious contributions to Dayan Sheji, this request is not excessive.

Previously, due to the death of Princess Gaogu in Liaoning, seeing that Gaoju Kingdom was about to turn back, he once again united Beidi and Dayan in a dilemma. At that time, Beidito grew the Dayan front, Li Liangji once visited the Dayan border ministers, he led the troops to rebel, in fact, gave Dayan a chance to breathe, can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Things happened in a hurry, and there was an uproar in the Fengtian Temple.

"Li Liangji sent someone to send a rush to play, willing to lead the existing 100,000 soldiers and horses, and pay tribute to Dayan forever, so he defended the territory for Dayan in Mao Lianwei to prevent Gao Ju from attacking."

At this time, another rush came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty......"

But I didn't expect that Li Liangji was defeated.

First, this matter of harmony was set by Emperor Hongtai during his reign, and his new monarch ascended the throne, regardless of internal and external affairs, it was not good to openly resist the holy will of Emperor Taishang. Second, if Li Liangji's rebellion is successful, Princess Gaogu naturally does not have to marry Ding'an Hou again, and the matter is over, and he does not need to come forward again.

He had been waiting for the outcome of the battle in Gogurgoku.

But Zhao Mianze never made Princess Wenjia marry Chen Daniu, nor did he have the convenience of ascending the throne by himself, and he will become the eldest princess's sister Zhao Runa to become the wife of Ding'an Hou.

There have been discussions in the DPRK and China about this matter.

Previously, the Liaodong incident, Princess Yongning, who came to make peace, died, and Princess Wenjia was injured. Chen Daniu brought Princess Wenjia back to Beijing, and she had been placed by the Ministry of Rites in the Yanbin Building, which was specially designed to receive foreign envoys, for more than several months.

It turned out that since the 27th year of Hongtai, the civil strife that lasted for half a year had subsided, and the general Li Liangji was defeated and was driven into the area of Mao Lianwei in the territory of Dayan by Gojuguo. King Gaoju sent a letter saying that he was willing to fulfill the preface, and the former Dayan was a minister, so he hoped that Dayan would give him a convenience and capture the rebels. In addition, and urged Princess Wenjia to marry Ding'an Hou.

"Read!"

At the suggestion of Zhao Mianze, He Chengan submitted the report of Lan Zi'an's hand. After reading the content, Zhao Mianze glanced at the people in the Fengtian Hall lightly, and handed it to He Cheng'an.

Lan Zi'an didn't look up, and said respectfully: "The envoy of Gaoju Kingdom arrived in Beijing last night on the third watch, and Weichen has placed him in Jiangdongyi in Jinling East. This is the recital of Gogurgoku. ”

Zhao Mianze raised his hand lightly, "Speak." ”

"The minister has something to do."

After entering the court, he and Zhao made a false connection, and saw Lan Zi'an coming out of the ranks.

The next day, Zhao Mianze announced the appointment of Zhao Zhu in the court, and the official seal was awarded when the draft document was drafted. In the surprise and attention of the Manchu Dynasty ministers, Zhao Zhu just smiled lightly. He never thought that he would be a civil official in his lifetime.

~

He sat down on the edge of the bed, pulled a corner of the quilt, put it on his lap, and took a book as he had done that night, leaned his back lightly on the head of the bed, and fell into the meditation of a man in the glow of a lamp.

But it wasn't until he went to the clean room to bathe in embarrassment that he wasn't sure if he would really force her to comply. After all, he couldn't bear her pain.

From beginning to end, he was on his mind.

From beginning to end, he was aiming at her.

He kept looking at the book, but his mind was not on the book.

She looked uncomfortable at that time, as if she wanted to get him away, and she was afraid of offending him, so she kept holding back her emotions, the expression on her little face, when it was cloudy, when it was sunny, when it was angry, when it was resentful, it was half an hour, and it kept changing, but even if she yawned, she was still stubborn and refused to leave.

He stood motionless by the screen, thinking of the night before she left, when she slept in the bed with her frowns and he was lying on the edge of the bed.

He Chengan sensibly lit the candle.

Thinking of this, his heart softened, and his steps into the Chuci Hall were lighter.

No matter how prosperous this splendid scenery is, it has trapped his whole life, like a delicate and complicated cage that will never come out. Where is there a happy river and lake with her, singing and herding horses freely and happily?

At this moment, if there was a chance for him to choose, he thought: he would choose her.

Jiangshan and women, which one to choose.

Even if you can see her, even if you listen to her a few words, even if she laughs at him every day, what's the matter? Her words may be scathing, but those words are better than the endless sycophants he hears day after day, right?

Why did you let her go like that?

Stepping on the shredded moonlight, he knew he regretted it.

Zhao Mianze has already strode ahead.

"I know."

"Your Majesty......?" He Chengan thought that he had misheard, so he had to remind him head-on, "Since the queen left the palace, there has been no one living in the Chuci Palace. ”

"I'm going to the Chutz Hall tonight!"

Zhao Mianze turned his head, looked at the silver plate, rubbed his forehead with a smile, his eyes showed a touch of boredom, and he flipped the silver plate with a wave of his sleeves.

"Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the cards."

He Cheng'an entered the palace, leaned over and approached his side, and brought a silver plate with the name plate of the concubines in the palace according to the rules, and presented it to him.

Who else is there besides himself?

No wonder the emperors are called lonely......

Four words, he said lightly, and smiled again.

"Alone."

Zhao Mianze sat alone for a long time, and slowly got up and pushed open the window. The sky is dark tonight, and there is no moonlight in sight. Deeper, this imperial city, which represents the supreme power of Dayan, is as cold and silent as water at night, and a faint halo cannot illuminate those palaces and towers, red walls and green tiles, and in the gentle night breeze, he feels that all this is so unreal.

The lights in the temple have not been extinguished.

"Farewell!"

Zhao Zhu stood still, his posture was cold, as if he was in the clouds.

"I've been taught."

He said casually and indifferently, Zhao Mianze was afraid in his heart, but also smiled, as if discussing with him was just a matter of love and moon, not the choice of the country and the woman.

"Men stand up to the sky, fish and bear paws, naturally."

Zhao Jun looked at him and suddenly smiled.

With a light "oh", Zhao Mianze asked with a smile, "What do you mean?" ”

"Such a thing is not like what the minister said."

"I don't remember." Zhao Jun turned his head and looked at him slowly, a pair of sharp eyes under the cold lamplight, with a kind of coolness, which was unbelievable.

"Outside the Imperial Grandmother's Kunning Palace, you said, if you have gains, you will lose something. Fish and bear's paws, you can never have both, you can only choose one......" In the flickering lights, Zhao Mianze's face flickered brightly and darkly, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Does Uncle Huang remember?" ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zhu frowned and stopped.

"Uncle Nineteen, you once asked me a word......

Seeing that his back was about to leave the hall, Zhao Mianze suddenly called out to him, his voice quiet.

Zhao Jun also smiled, "Thank you Your Majesty for your compassion, and the minister will retire." ”

He didn't tell Zhao Zhu who set up the bureau, but only smiled: "Uncle Nineteen Emperors is too modest, and the person who sets up the game is really a master in the world, and there are people who can't understand it for a while." Fortunately, you and my uncle and nephew are like-minded, and you can slowly study it in the future. It's late tonight, and it's inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, so Uncle Nineteen Emperors can do it by himself. The big wedding will be organized by the Ministry of Rites, and you won't have to worry about it. ”

Xia Chu once told him that this dead end, no one in the world can break it except Zhao Zhu. Although he didn't know where Xia Chu got the chess game, he couldn't solve it now when he looked at Zhao Zhu, and the emotions that had been suppressed for many days were much more relaxed.

Hearing him say this, Zhao Mianze breathed a sigh of relief.

After a description that seemed to be amazed, he suddenly looked sideways at Zhao Mianze's uncertain face, and smiled regretfully: "I don't know where Your Majesty got the game, it's too delicate, the minister is stupid, and I can't think about it for a while." ”

His eyes deepened, he frowned and pondered slightly, stepped forward with a shallow smile, picked up the sunspot, lifted it for a moment and put it down, then held the white, put it down again after a while, and said in a cool voice: "It's really a strange game." This bureau implies the ingenuity of the gossip of the Nine Palaces, the momentum of the Qimen Dunjia, the situation is huge and meticulous, and the layout is strange and unpredictable......"

Zhao Zhu's eyes followed him to the game on the chessboard.

"A few days ago, I had a dead end, and I couldn't break it after thinking about it, but I knew that the Nineteenth Emperor Uncle was quite accomplished in the art of game, and I wanted to ask the Nineteenth Emperor Uncle for advice."

"Nineteen Emperor Uncle, wait!" Zhao Mianze saw him get up, smiled suddenly, left him, called He Chengan to come in, brought him a box of secret medicine for head wind, as if chatting, asked a few words with concern, and finally chuckled and looked at the game of chess not far away.

After some discussion, Zhao Zhu smiled lightly and said calmly: "It's late at night, Your Majesty is resting, and the minister will retreat first." ”

The lights in the hall are flickering, and the outside of the hall is even louder.

After some talking, his heart was afraid. The most terrible thing in the world is not how you know how ruthless your enemy will kill you. It's that you don't know what the enemy is going to do......

But all that he showed was really like he had forgotten.

Zhao Mianze didn't believe that he had forgotten the past.

Zhao Zhu, who was so calm and calm, made Zhao Mianze unable to figure out his details. There is no doubt that he is a fierce tiger, a hidden tiger in the mountains. But since ancient times, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, how can he allow him to stand side by side on the same mountain?

Zhao Zhu knows everything and does not hide his selfishness. Talking about the past and the present, whether it is governing the country or leveling the world, they all give him the icing on the cake one by one, so as to fulfill his duty as a minister. There was laughter and laughter in the hall from time to time, and the two looked like they were talking happily. But the knots in each other's hearts are getting tighter and tighter.

The two of them lit the palace lamp in the house, and they were polite for a while. Zhao Mianze seemed to really trust, and discussed many court affairs with Zhao Zhu without reservation. Among the external worries, such as the ongoing civil war in the Gogur Kingdom, such as the hidden worries of the Japanese people who went into the sea from time to time to harass the civilians of Dayan and loot property, such as the rise of the Tatar tribe Uliang Khan, the impact on the stability of the northern borderlands, and so on.

"It should be." Zhao Zhu's eyes were complicated, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Uncle Nineteen Emperors is a virtuous and powerful person. Then I'll leave this matter to me. ”

His words sounded righteous and stern, but he was indifferent, as if he might not really go to his heart, Zhao Mianze smiled lowly, was silent, and glanced at it gratefully.

"Your Majesty trusts you so much, dare you disobey your orders?" Zhao Zhu's eyes deepened, as if he was thinking about his words, and as if he was thinking about something, he was silent for a moment before he said lightly: "Since ancient times, the monarch is the top, the minister is the bottom, and the minister should share the worries for His Majesty." ”

"Uncle Nineteen, what do you think?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhao Mianze asked again, with a smile on his face, gentle and polite, but his tone was pressing step by step.

Zhao Mianze really has all kinds of measurements and calculations for a monarch.

His father, the crown prince, was actually not wrong.

On the one hand, Zhao Mianze forced him to stay in Beijing through the big wedding, and if he was not given any real position, it would inevitably leave a kind of small-bellied chicken intestines to the ministers or future generations, and he did not have the handle of being a king. However, if he is allowed to take charge of the world's soldiers and horses again, he will be afraid and refuse. So, he was given a Zhengyi official title like Zongren Mansion Right Zongzheng, let him share the power of Zhao Gou, and let Zhao Gou be jealous of him, just killing two birds with one stone, and reaping the power of the fisherman. And the name of the crown prince and prince sounds quite big, but this is just a fictitious title with no real power, it just represents the emperor's reward, and it has no effect.

It's a good calculation.

Zhao Zhu's eyes pursed a smile.

After a pause, he suddenly stared at Zhao Zhu, and then said: "Therefore, I want the Nineteenth Emperor Uncle to share my worries, lead the errand of the right Zongzheng, and be the young master of the crown prince, supervise the affairs of the Zongren Mansion for me, and balance the dynasty." ”

"The position of the Son of Heaven is not to choose the phase." Glancing at his slightly cold face, Zhao Mianze sighed lightly and said lightly: "Grandpa Huang taught me in the past, whether it is governing or being a person, you must learn from Uncle Huangxi, and I think so."
