85_85256 "Two years ago? Isn't that the time when Mao Guo changed the prime minister? Emperor Guangzhao looked surprised, and seemed to vaguely understand something.

"Yes, that was when the Xi Kingdom built a chain fortress on the border, and at that time, the courtiers applied to you to go to the border to inspect the work, and it was at that time that the courtiers and Liu Ming, the prime minister of the current Mao Kingdom, met." Xi Zhen replied.

"How did you come into contact with the prime minister of the Mao Kingdom? Did you know each other before? Emperor Guangzhao asked with a solemn face.

You must know that her meeting with a high-ranking official of another country in such a secret way without his permission is tantamount to a spy, and it must be tortured. Fortunately, he has always trusted her and knows her personality and character, so he didn't lose his temper.

He still remembered that Shen Xizhen went to the border with five guards, and when Shen Xizhen and his party came back, he personally and secretly summoned the five guards to understand Shen Xizhen's whereabouts at the border during that time, and the answers he got were all no suspicious signs, so how did she meet Liu Ming?

"Liu Ming's father is a native of Xiguo, in the early years of business in Maoguo, met a girl in Maoguo, the two secretly fell in love, soon after the girl became pregnant, just when the two were about to get married, Liu Ming's father died unfortunately because of saving people, so his mother was pregnant with him and married a middle-aged man in Maoguo." Xi Zhen explained to Emperor Guangzhao.

Emperor Guangzhao listened with relish and did not interject.

Liu Ming's uncle later visited him several times in Maoguo, and later kept in touch with letters, so Liu Ming also knew more about the situation in Xiguo. His cousin is the captain of the Dragon Dart Bureau, named Liu Xianchen. Hee Zhen continued.

"Is that the person who helped go to Mao to buy a large amount of Shiliu Yellow and Earth Nitrate during the last Battle of Northern Xinjiang?" Emperor Guangzhao asked.

"Exactly. The courtiers had some friendship with Captain Liu, so they were able to send a message to Liu Ming through him. ”

Emperor Guangzhao suddenly realized.

"That time at the border, Liu Ming came to see the courtiers as a farmer who delivered food, so the courtiers could deploy relevant matters with him."

"In other words, two years ago, you had the intention to plan to seize the state of Mao. What's the matter of right? "Emperor Guangzhao thought things were getting interesting.

"Let's be honest. At that time, the courtiers had never thought of such a far, but they just wanted to take this step first, after all, the country of Mao could not be guarded against, it was better for us to take the initiative first. ”

"So you and Liu Ming became prime ministers soon after that meeting, so the relationship between Mao Guo and our Xi Kingdom improved later." Emperor Guangzhao smiled and said that he admired this girl's judgment more and more.

"Yes, so this time, the courtiers want to disguise themselves as men and disguise themselves as another person to quietly blend into the courtiers of the Mao Kingdom. In the name of helping to rejuvenate the country and planning to attack the northern part of the Xi Kingdom, their main henchmen were eliminated or controlled. Slowly bring in the people on our side. This plan needs the full support of the emperor. ”

"How long will it take?" Emperor Guangzhao asked.

"It's three and a half months if it's fast, and half a year if it's slow." Xi Zhen hurriedly replied.

"This is exactly the time period when you and King Qingping got married." Emperor Guangzhao hesitated slightly.

"The courtiers will explain it to King Qingping, if not. At most, it is also a postponement of getting married for a month. Thinking of this, Xi Zhen felt guilty about Chu Zihou, indeed, she made him wait too long.

"Okay. How do you want me to support you? ”

"Arrange a group of trustworthy and capable people to infiltrate the various industries of the country, and the courtiers need to maintain close contact with them."

"Yes. But you have to be careful, it will be difficult to control the situation when there are too many people. Emperor Guangzhao said.

"The courtiers will pay more attention, and in addition, can this group of people be recruited directly by the courtiers? Of course. It is absolutely not open to the public, and only needs the help of the emperor and several trusted ministers. ”

"Okay. Then I'll make arrangements tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The courtier's daughter will present a new song to the emperor now. ”

"Uh-huh."

After finishing the song, Shen Xizhen said: "Before the courtiers leave, they want to finalize the wedding between the courtiers and the king of Qingping. However, because the courtiers didn't know what to do, they hoped that the emperor would send a few mothers who were familiar with the process to help. ”

"No problem." Emperor Guangzhao immediately called the palace maid to invite Liu's mother.

Liu's mother is a woman in her fifties. From the look in her eyes, you know that she is a smart and clever person who has seen the world.

"Mother Liu, you can talk to Guang'an Hou about the wedding today, and then make a list of the things you need to buy and hand them over, and I will send someone to buy them." Emperor Guangzhao commanded.

His wedding that year was also helped by Liu's mother.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mother Liu got the order and retreated with Shen Xizhen.

"Actually, it's not too complicated, first of all, the list of people to be invited to the banquet, this small feeling is decided by the emperor, of course, Guang'an Hou can first list the people you want to feast on. Then it is to help the two of you tailor-made wedding dresses, because the king of Qingping has not yet returned, the small one will first measure out the size of your dress, and the king of Qingping can first take the clothes he wears on weekdays as a mold to make a set, and leave a wide point so that it can be modified at that time. Mother Liu patiently said to Shen Xizhen.

Shen Xizhen also truly realized in her words that she was going to get married soon.

"Then there is the dowry, which was prepared by the king of Qingping, including jewelry, clothing, silverware, mounts, gold, ......" Liu's mother read a large list, and Shen Xizhen wrote them down one by one.

After Mother Liu finished speaking, Shen Xizhen exclaimed in her heart - it turns out that the prince will spend so much silver to get married! She couldn't help but worry about the king of Qingping and the treasury of the Xi Kingdom.

All she wanted was for two people to live a small life in harmony, and she really didn't want so many material things, so she cautiously asked Liu's mother: "Can these dowries be reduced?" ”

"Of course, if your woman's family has no opinion."

"Oh, I'm just asking." Shen Xizhen smiled.

When I go back tonight, I will discuss with my mother, brother, and sister-in-law, and she wants to halve the amount of those dowries. She was sure that they would agree.

However, on the way home, she thought about it and felt that if she reduced the dowry in this way, it would definitely make her mother sad, although her mother did not ask for these things, but her daughter marrying the prince was always a glorious lintel, so she deserved a dowry commensurate with this family business.

Thinking about it like this, she was very relieved and didn't worry about it anymore.

After discussing with the family, the list of people for the banquet was also determined.

Early the next morning, Shen Xizhen handed over the list of people who should be invited to the banquet, the list of items to be purchased, and other things to Emperor Guangzhao.

After reading it, Emperor Guangzhao said: "Okay, I will arrange for someone to do it according to the terms listed above, and the queen will also help follow up at that time, so you can go to Mao Kingdom with confidence." (To be continued)
