Chapter 42: The Queen's Choice

"Bastard!"

Hearing only a roar, Sun Pingling hurriedly entered, only to see that the ground was full of pieces that had been pushed down by Mi Zi, she picked them all up, and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you so angry?"

Qi Zi looked out the window silently, although he couldn't see his expression, he could still feel the anger coming from him.

"Your Majesty?" Sun Pingling put the piece back on the table, "Being angry won't solve any problem, it will only make you more energetic, this is the truth that my father used to teach Your Majesty, has Your Majesty forgotten?"

Qi Zi turned around, looked at Sun Pingling, and asked, "When you killed Lu Qiao, you already knew this, right?"

Sun Pingling's expression stiffened slightly, she then sighed slightly, and said: "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from Your Majesty!" The courtiers know that Your Majesty and Miss Jiang have a deep relationship, and the green girl is dead, and Miss Jiang is in pain, Your Majesty must want to be angry for Miss Jiang, so the courtiers dare not tell Your Majesty about the matter of the county lord of Leyi! The courtiers don't want Your Majesty to be estranged from the Lord of Leyi County at this time, the Lord of Leyi County has a close relationship with the wealthy families in the south, and there is still the King of Dongping outside, the external trouble has not been removed, the treasury is empty, and under the internal and external troubles, His Majesty can only stabilize the Lord of Leyi, and must not have a conflict with her. ”

Qi Zi raised his eyebrows and looked at Sun Pingling, and asked, "Do you think I'm really such an irrational person?"

"Courtiers......" Sun Pingling lowered her eyes, "It's the courtiers who think too much!"

"Go and take a look at the top book!" Qi Zi pointed for a moment, "I am now going to clean up the king of Dongping, the treasury is empty, and it is just when money is needed, could it be that several big wealthy families in the south actually link up, tear up the contract signed with them before, and blackmail me to increase their power, what do they want to do? Gather troops and hoard people, and want to fight against the court! What is this not robbery while the fire is burning? If this opening is opened, they will only gain an inch!"

Sun Pingling read a few books, thought for a moment, and said, "Why are they suddenly connected?"

"Yes, this is exactly where the confusion lies, as if I know that the court is now in need of money!" Qi Zi sneered, "What does this mean? It means that someone will reveal the next move of the court, every move of the court, as if it is revealed from the outside! Who else can this person be? You can think of it with your toes!"

"Ping Ling!" Qi Zi smiled bitterly, "Am I a very failure?"

Sun Pingling frowned and hurriedly asked, "Why did Your Majesty say that?"

"She's my only relative, but even she's betraying me!" said Mi Zi, "My relatives, people who have the same blood as me, but they are not on my side, what could be more ironic in this world?"

"It's not Your Majesty's fault. Sun Pingling comforted, "Power is inherently poison, it can make people lose their minds, emotions and dignity as human beings." Ambition is a beast that can devour people's hearts and turn people into walking corpses who only know how to compete for fame and fortune. Your Majesty, you have done nothing wrong, you have just become a king, and there is only one throne, and power belongs to a minority, so when there are more people who are eager for power, it will cause contention. It's not the fault of any one person, it's been decided at the beginning of the birth of power, and for thousands of years, reincarnation has always been like this and has never been changed. ”

"Imperial power!" Qi Zi laughed self-deprecatingly, "I have gained supreme power and climbed the highest mountain, but it has also made me a loner!"

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do next?" Sun Pingling said, "If you don't compromise with the southern wealthy clan, the king of Dongping will inevitably have to delay, and the delay will cause him to clear out his own internal troubles, and it will not be easy to get rid of them when the time comes." ”

"It is precisely because of this that the other party dares to ask for a price!" Mi Zi punched the window hard, "They are bullying me for being young and bullying me for having an unstable foundation!"

Sun Pingling's eyes turned slightly, and said, "The courtiers have a way, but you can try it." ”

"Tell me about it. Qi Zi turned around and asked.

"The county lord of Lijing Yao is the queen. Sun Pingling said.

"What did you say?" Qi Zi frowned, "You're not kidding?"

"It is a major matter of the country after the establishment, and the courtiers dare not joke!" Sun Pingling said, "Your Majesty might as well think about it!"

In May, the weather is getting hotter.

It's a pity that Nanchu does not have the tradition of dragon boat racing, but it is much less lively.

There was a big event in the palace of Nanchu Palace, and the matter of the establishment that had been discussed for a long time finally had an eyebrow, but this person was chosen to be outstanding and unexpected, not Sun Pingling, who everyone was optimistic about, but the arrogant and domineering Jingyao County Lord.

The father of the county lord of Jingyao is the king of Pingdong who now has a heavy army, and everyone can understand His Majesty's decision.

Mo Ziyu was reading a book in the courtyard, and Qi Zi looked at her figure for a while, before she stepped forward and smiled: "I have read these books, they are ancient books, can you understand everything on them?"

"It's not all understood. Mo Ziyu raised his eyes and said, "But if you read it slowly, you can roughly understand it, but this is a medical classic, you can't be careless, and the difference between one word is thousands of miles, so you have to understand it carefully, but thank Your Majesty for finding this classic for me, which has benefited me a lot!"

She put the book down, got up and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty is getting married? Congratulations! It's just that I thought the queen would be Miss Sun, but this wedding must be the result of your careful consideration, no matter what, I will bless you." ”

Qi Zi glanced at Mo Ziyu silently, and then said, "Things are not what you think. ”

"Huh?" Mo Ziyu was puzzled.

Mo Ziyu thought for a while and said, "Anyway, you'll know when the time comes." ”

Mo Ziyu didn't say anything more, paused, and asked, "Look at Your Majesty's face, but what's the trouble?"

"I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't belong to my family, and now I'm worried about money!" Mi Zi smiled, "The treasury is empty, and you need money everywhere, it's sad!"

"Didn't you hear that the Southern Shi clan would support you?" Mo Ziyu asked, "They have a lot of silver, Your Majesty can reach out to them and ask for some." ”

"Where is it so simple! The court is not a bandit, so you can't just rob it!" Qi Zi shook his head and smiled, "It's not a long-term solution to take people short." ”

"What about borrowing?" Mo Ziyu smiled slightly, "Borrow from them in the name of the court, of course, it is not for nothing, stipulate a date for repayment, and return it to them together with interest at that time!"

"Interest, they may not be able to see it!" said Mi Zi, "They want something bigger!"

"The people who can stand at the negotiating table with you are a small number after all, but there are still those who you have to see and use! They may be rich businessmen, or solid farmers, or ordinary people with some spare money! With the reputation of the court as a guarantee, borrowing money from them, and accumulating a lot, this move may not be less than those wealthy families!" Mo Ziyu said.

Qi Zi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "What you said makes sense! It's that my vision is too narrow, and I have only seen the person opposite me in negotiation, but I have never seen the person standing with me behind me! Jiang Liu, thank you, I know what to do!"

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran out.

The willows are clinging, and the breeze is light.

"Stop!" Jing Yao shouted.

Sun Pingling stopped, looked back and said with a smile: "What does the county lord command?"

Jing Yao raised her chin, walked towards Sun Pingling arrogantly, stared at her and sneered: "I don't have any orders, I just think that you live in the palace now, which is quite dazzling." What qualifications do you have to stay here now?"

"I stayed here because I wanted to assist His Majesty in handling some things, if the county lord felt dazzling, he could not look at me!" Sun Pingling said lightly.

"Presumptuous!" Jing Yao snorted coldly, "Who allowed you to speak like that to the future queen?"

Sun Pingling sighed and said, "The county lord forgives the sin, but the courtiers still have some things to deal with, and they really can't leave." When the matter is settled, the courtiers will naturally leave the palace!"

"I heard that you are in charge of my marriage to Brother Mi Zi?" Sun Pingling asked with a sneer, "You won't be jealous and cut corners and do anything in secret, right?"

"If the county lord doesn't worry about me, you can do it yourself. Sun Pingling said lightly.

But I warn you, if there is anything I am not satisfied with during the wedding, I will not let you go, I am not as easy to fool as Brother Mi Zi!" Jing Yao smiled, "Brother Mi Zi still has a vision and knows who is the best person for him, who is the person who loves him the most, and who is the person who is most worthy of him!"

"If the county lord has nothing else to do, I will retire first!"

"Why is there nothing else!" Jing Yao said, "My shoes are dirty, you wipe them for me!"

"Let the slaves and maids serve the county lord!" Sun Pingling's maid hurriedly said.

"Get out of here!" Jing Yao kicked over, "You deserve to let your master come!"

Sun Pingling gritted her teeth while holding the handkerchief, she looked at Jing Yao's smug appearance, endured the breath in her heart, squatted down, and took the handkerchief to wipe the dust that didn't exist on her shoes.

At this time, Jing Yao raised her feet, wiped her shoes on Sun Pingling's clothes, and said with a smile: "I think it's quite suitable here!"

With that, she burst out laughing, very frivolously.

"Miss Sun, you have to remember who will be the master and who will be the slave in the future!" Jing Yao said with a sneer, "Don't let me teach you this rule!

The maid hurriedly pulled Sun Pingling up, and said angrily: "Miss, she is too bad!"

Sun Pingling shook his head lightly: "Don't say it, let's go." ”
