Shen Bai was speechless, and took out the paper prepared in advance and presented it to Emperor Hengde.

Hundreds of words were written on the paper, and the handwriting inherited Shen Ruxiu, the pen was sharp, strong and powerful, and it was very good-looking.

Because of this good handwriting, Emperor Hengde's expression softened a little, and he calmed down to read the content on the paper carefully.

The content is a bit much, Emperor Hengde can see it slowly, it is quiet in the imperial study, Gu Hengzhou straightened up, and Shen Bai saw that his forehead was a little red, which showed how hard he kowtowed just now.

Shen Bai was a little distressed, and began to think about countermeasures in his mind, how to use the shortest words to get Emperor Hengde to agree to Gu Hengzhou's reappointment in the shortest words.

After about a quarter of an hour, Emperor Hengde finally finished reading all the eastern content.

He placed the piece of paper on the table and pressed his large palm lightly against it.

The paper was folded and held in Shen Bai's arms, the creases were very deep, and the touch under the fingertips was obvious, Emperor Hengde flattened the creases little by little, if Gu Hengzhou's request just now made his heart shake, then what Shen Bai wrote on the paper was like a tsunami in his heart.

destroyed all the illusions of prosperity that he had reigned for so many years, and in the end he was left with nothing but devastation.

This is the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains he took over from the hands of the first emperor, he has always thought that he is not an emperor of the ages, at least he is also a conscientious, diligent and good emperor, but he did not expect that now he is so mediocre and incompetent as to let a fourteen-year-old child point out his shortcomings.

Emperor Hengde slowly smoothed the piece of paper, looked at Shen Bai with gentle eyes and asked, "Does Shen Ruxiu know that you are coming to see me today?" ”

Shen Bai shook his head, she, like Gu Hengzhou, came by herself.

Emperor Hengde nodded, although Shen Ruxiu has always been loyal to Zhaoling and has been outspoken in everything, but after all, he has been old these years, and he prefers to speak in a roundabout and steady way, and he will not be as aggressive as Shen Bai.

On that piece of paper, Shen Bai analyzed the current situation of Zhaoling in detail in the past few decades.

The most important thing in a country is the four aspects of industry, agriculture, men and commerce, when Zhaoling's national strength was the strongest, commerce and trade were extremely accessible, the treasury was full, the people lived a rich life, and the military force was naturally very strong, even if the surrounding neighbors did not submit, they did not dare to invade at all.

Now the Ministry of Industry is controlled by the Lu family, the mother family of the Empress Dowager, agriculture is in the hands of Prime Minister Li Deren, and the literati and wise men are represented by the three major factions of strategists, loyal warriors and elegant scholars represented by Taiwei Jiang De'an, Yushi Dafu and Shen Ruxiu.

Zhaoling's commerce has been led by the Wei family in the past 100 years, when Emperor Hengde succeeded to the throne, the Wei family has begun to decline, ten years ago after the death of Empress Wei Lingyou, the Wei family is increasingly withering, Zhaoling's commercial activities have been greatly affected, and now has formed a heavy agriculture and light business atmosphere, the treasury is becoming increasingly weak, and Zhaoling's commercial level is stagnant.

When the Wei family was defeated, Emperor Hengde had succeeded to the throne for many years, the throne was consolidated, and there was no major chaos in Zhaoling, but now that he is old, Zhao Che wants to take over a devastated Zhaoling from him, and there is no support from a huge clan behind him.

In the previous life, it was because of all the accumulation that it was difficult to return, which would cause Gu Hengzhou to die in the blazing flames, and Zhaoling would no longer have a brave general to match Yuexi, and he was in danger of losing his country.

Shen Bai did not scare Emperor Hengde with the remarks of the death of the country, she just combined with Dong Hengguo and his entourage, explained the actual situation to Emperor Hengde, and asked Emperor Hengde to pave a way for Zhao Che, the crown prince, so that Zhao Che could do things better in the future.

Emperor Hengde looked at Shen Bai fixedly, this child knelt next to Gu Hengzhou, he still looked very immature, and he did things very inappropriately before, it was completely arbitrary, but the content she presented to the case was something that many people could never think of in their lives, even if someone could think of it, they didn't have the courage to write it on a piece of paper and submit it directly to the emperor.

This kid is different from everyone else.

Emperor Hengde thought about the scene when Shen Bai and others participated in the palace examination in the early spring, at that time she answered all the questions fluently, and she did have a lot of ideas, but those ideas were still floating on the surface and could not get a glimpse of the essence, so Emperor Hengde only let her do Tanhua, not the champion.

But what she presented today is far more than the assets of the champion, and even complements each other.

Emperor Hengde asked: "Have you shown these ideas to Rui Xuan?" ”

Shen Bai shook his head, took out another note and presented it to Emperor Hengde, which read: This matter involves the Wei family, Shen Bai is worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Uncle Guo will be emotional, but they can't make rational judgments, so he didn't discuss with them.

The Wei family is a century-old family in Zhaoling, and has been engaged in business, and the reason for the decline is that the first queen died of illness, without the support of the royal family, and Wei Ruzhao's heart is like ashes, insisting on being isolated from the world, and the royal centrifugation, the Wei family has no successor, and no one knows the accumulated experience of a hundred years.

Shen Bai only mentioned the Wei family, and didn't say much, Emperor Hengde's eyes deepened, and he stared at the piece of paper for a while, and asked, "Since you think of this, you should have a countermeasure, and you don't want to present it?" ”

Shen Bai took out another piece of paper, there was a lot of content on this paper, and Emperor Hengde looked at it more carefully than before.

Zhaoling's current business has stagnated, the power of the various families is complicated, and if you want to suddenly develop business, you are afraid that you will be opposed by many people, and since this is for Zhao Che to pave the way, it is best to do it secretly, and the person selected must be closely related to Zhao Che and will never betray Zhao Che.

Shen Bai didn't specify who was the most suitable candidate, but Emperor Hengde had already automatically come up with a name in his mind: Wei Ruzhao.

He is now the only descendant of the Wei family, and he is Zhao Che's own uncle, even if everyone wants to be enemies of Zhao Che, he will unswervingly stand by Zhao Che's side.

If Wei Ruzhao is willing to do this, of course, it would be great, but the point is that he can't be willing.

If he wanted to inherit the Wei family's industry and help Zhao Che do something, he would not have gone to Yunshan Temple back then.

Emperor Hengde pursed his lips and was about to let Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai go out first, but Shen Bai presented another note, which read: Uncle Guo's heart is the first queen, and Shen Bai has a way to persuade Uncle Guo.

Emperor Hengde's eyelids jumped slightly, slapped the note on the case, and ordered in a deep voice: "Xingyuan, you step back first, don't mention that matter for the time being, and I will give you an answer in a few days!" ”

Shen Bai and Emperor Hengde have been communicating with each other, Gu Hengzhou didn't know what Shen Bai said to Emperor Hengde, but he couldn't show curiosity, so he could only get up and exit the imperial study.

When the door closed, Emperor Hengde's face changed suddenly, and he glared at Shen Bai with a cold face: "How much do you know about the first queen?" ”

All the people serving in the Empress Queen's Palace were secretly executed, and in the entire Zhaoling, the people who knew the truth of this matter could count them in a single slap, and Shen Bai should never know about it.

Emperor Hengde's tone was full of questioning, venting three points of murderous aura, and his mind had already begun to calculate how to kill Shen Bai.

Shen Bai was not afraid, and took out a piece of paper and put it on the case of Emperor Hengde, which read: Shen Bai has no intention of exploring the affairs of the former empress during her lifetime, but if the talent and talent of the uncle cannot be used by Zhaoling, it is really a tyrannical thing, and Shen Bai is just thinking about the future of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhaoling.

Shen Bai obediently knelt on the ground and remained motionless after putting the note, Emperor Hengde's expression changed and changed, and finally returned to calm.

Wei Ruzhao's talent doesn't have to be wasted, why not Shen Bai's talent?

Some things can't be hidden forever, and when Zhao Che succeeds to the throne in the future, those truths will eventually be found out.

Emperor Hengde sighed and asked Shen Bai, "How are you going to convince Uncle Guo?" ”

Is that consent?

Shen Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she made the right bet, thinking of the relationship with the former queen, Emperor Hengde would spare no effort to pave the way for Zhao Che.

Shen Bai took out the last note, which read: The first queen died of illness, although the second position has been suspended, but in addition to the queen's title, His Majesty gave everything else that could be given to Concubine De, and the Li family has become more and more prosperous and stronger, which will make Uncle Guo feel cold, Shen Bai thinks that His Majesty can properly suppress the four highnesses.

If these words are heard, I am afraid that they will be connected to the nine tribes.

Shen Bai didn't go back to kneel after handing over the note this time, just stood in front of Emperor Hengde, looking at him expectantly.

Emperor Hengde played with the note for a long time before asking, "You are doing so much, are you really just doing things to help the prince?" ”

Shen Bai shook her head, the note she prepared had been used up, and she directly dipped her fingers in ink and wrote on the blank paper: The Fourth Highness humiliated me, I know that my fate cannot be compared with the Fourth Highness, but I can't bear this breath.

The strangulation marks on her neck have healed most of them, but her tongue can't speak, and the scars on her wrists are still there, Emperor Hengde twisted his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Did the fourth really do something wrong to you?" ”

Shen Bai's eyes were red, and he took a deep breath and wrote: Shen Bai's proposal today is beneficial to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and if His Majesty finds out that Shen Bai harbors evil intentions, he can execute Shen Bai at any time.

Shen Bai didn't keep arguing about this matter, but it made people feel more credible.

Emperor Hengde frowned and was silent, Shen Bai thought about it and wrote again: Your Majesty's simple suppression of the Four Highnesses may make the Four Highnesses dissatisfied, and it is just the right excuse to agree to the request of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, so that it can also hide people's eyes.

The Gu family has always unswervingly supported Emperor Hengde and Zhao Che, Emperor Hengde suppressed Zhao Chou, turned his head and asked Gu Hengzhou to be reappointed as the captain of Muzhou, this bowl of water can be regarded as flat, and no one has any complaints.

There are already seven or eight pieces of paper on the table, and this link is linked to one link, and Emperor Rao is Hengde also feels that it is impeccable, if it is not for what he has seen and heard with his own eyes, he will definitely not believe that the whole plan is from the hands of this young man named Shen Bai.

This person is so thoughtful at a young age, and the city government is so deep, won't he turn the Zhaoling court upside down in the future?

Emperor Hengde looked at Shen Bai curiously, and asked softly, "You have done so much, what are you asking for?" ”

Shen Bai took a deep breath and wrote on the paper one by one: I ask my loved one to be smooth and safe.

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Bai walked out of the imperial study.

It's almost noon, and the bright sun is pouring down, making people warm and comfortable.

After staying in the house for a long time, he suddenly walked out a little unable to adapt to the strong light, Shen Bai raised his hand to block the sunlight and walked in the direction of Lingzhao Palace, but as soon as he bypassed an arch, his wrist tightened, and the whole person was pulled into a wide and warm embrace, the light above his head was clearly extinguished, and then he fell into darkness, and his back was pressed against the uneven rockery stone wall.

Gu Hengzhou propped one hand on her ear, and his tall body completely enveloped her, like a huge indestructible shield, which could shield her from all wind and rain.

Shen Bai didn't resist, just looked at him quietly, his heart was so soft that he couldn't speak.

Gu Hengzhou originally had a stomach full of questions to ask, and his incomparably focused eyes on Shen Bai suddenly froze.

After looking at each other silently for a while, Shen Bai took the initiative to reach out and wrap his arms around Gu Hengzhou's waist, and his head also pressed against his chest, rubbing it coquettishly like a kitten.

Gu Hengzhou asked with a stiff face, "What are you doing?" ”

Although his tone was cold, he didn't move to push the person away.

Shen Bai snorted twice, grabbed Gu Hengzhou's hand and wrote in his palm: Is it okay to reconcile?

What does it mean to reconcile? When did they quarrel and break up?

Gu Hengzhou twisted his eyebrows, grabbed Shen Bai's back collar and asked her to stay away from him, looked into her eyes and said, "First answer my previous question, what else did you do last night?" ”

Alas...... Liking someone with a particularly good memory is sometimes not a good thing either.

Shen Bai sighed secretly, and took out another piece of paper from his sleeve pocket, but this piece of paper was deliberately folded into a triangle, which looked like a talisman at first glance.

Gu Hengzhou went to get it, Shen Bai flexibly dodged, pushed him away, took a few steps back, and threw the paper to Gu Hengzhou when he reached a safe distance.

Gu Hengzhou raised his hand to catch it, Shen Bai smiled and waved his hand, humming a little song and striding away.

Gu Hengzhou hesitated and didn't chase after him, and patiently opened the paper.

There are a lot of words on the paper, from the time he got drunk and began to write, saying that she was ordered by the prince to send him back to Yingze Palace, the palace people came to ask a few times, and sent a few times to describe things are normal, and after bathing, those words began to change their taste.

What kind of crystal water droplets slid down from Brother Gu's strong and powerful chest, and submerged into the water, which is particularly sexy and charming.

This kind of sentence is endless, Gu Hengzhou directly ignored it, and soon saw the last few lines of this piece of paper, his eyes widened slightly, and Shen Bai's head emerged from the bathtub in his mind, with a splash on his face and swallowing his head up, and the hand holding the paper involuntarily clenched his fist.

This person really dares!

Not only dare to do it, but also dare to write it in such detail, it's really terrible!

It was inconvenient to burn here, Gu Hengzhou refolded the paper and put it in his arms, and walked out of the rockery calmly.

Shen Bai quickly returned to Lingzhao Palace, and as soon as he walked into the palace gate, he smelled a bitter smell of medicine, and the palace people guarding the door immediately said: "Uncle Guo is infected with wind and cold, and he is unwell, Imperial Doctor Zhang is checking the pulse of Uncle Guo, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also there, His Royal Highness specially instructed that if Young Master Shen comes back, don't go to the house, so as not to add to the chaos." ”

Okay, the master bothered to help you pave the way, but you think that the master will only add to the chaos, wait for the master to get Brother Gu, and see who else can help you deal with this mess!

Shen Bai touched his chin and went back to his room, the room was empty, and there was no figure of Chabai.

Shen Bai lifted his eyelids, turned around and entered Wei Ruzhao's bedroom.

Wei Ruzhao's bedroom is very large, everyone is crowded in the inner room, there is a brazier burning inside, the temperature is much higher than the outside, Shen Bai bypassed the screen and entered the inner room, and at a glance saw Wei Ruzhao lying on the bed with his hair outflowing, he was not wearing underwear, and his stiff arms and chest were all exposed, which was completely different from his handsome and gentle appearance, but this body was still pampered, and his skin was so white that it was very eye-catching.

Wei Ruzhao burned badly, his face was red, his eyes were closed, he was unconscious at first glance, Cha Bai was half kneeling beside the bed, and was wiping his body with a handkerchief, Imperial Doctor Zhang was writing prescriptions, Zhao Che sat next to him with a cold face, and when he saw that the person who came in was Shen Bai, he immediately frowned: "Who let you in?" ”

Shen Bai raised his chin in the direction where Cha Bai was, and said silently: "The young master came to find his maid."

There are so many palace people in Ling Zhao Palace, who can serve them, so they have to call the people around the master?

Shen Bai slandered, his eyes were still glancing at Wei Ruzhao, Zhao Che got up and walked over, blocked her sight, and said lightly: "Go out." ”

Shen Bai turned around and went out, Zhao Che walked to the outer couch and sat down, poured a cup of tea and took a sip, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you say when you and Xingyuan met your father together?" ”

Shen Bai poured a cup of tea and wrote on the table: Brother Gu told His Majesty that he wanted to be reappointed as the captain of Muzhou.

Emperor Hengde used the best pine smoke ink, and Shen Bai had just written with that ink in the imperial study, and his right hand was almost completely black at this time, and it was so dirty.

Zhao Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked the palace people to bring hot water, and then asked Shen Bai with disgust: "It's so dirty, you don't know how to wash it and come back?" ”

It is said that the eldest husband is not informal, you are still the prince of a country, there are so many things!

Shen Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes, put his hands behind his back, he originally wanted to discuss his plan with him, but he didn't want to write it at this time.

Knowing that Gu Hengzhou and Emperor Hengde were talking about going to be reappointed as the captain of Muzhou, Zhao Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Shen Bai rolling his eyes, he asked coldly: "You dare to roll your eyes at the palace?" ”

Shen Bai returned to normal and smiled innocently.

The palace people quickly sent hot water and soaphorns, and Zhao Che ordered Shen Bai: "Stretch out your hand!" ”

Shen Bai lazily stretched out her hand, and was about to wash her claws by herself, when the wrist of her right hand was buckled, Zhao Che pressed her hand into the water, and then grabbed the soap corner and was about to wipe it on Shen Bai's hand.

Shen Bai was shocked, and instinctively struggled for a moment, Zhao Che glanced sideways slightly, threw a cold eye knife at her, and asked, "Don't want the claws anymore?" ”

The words were full of threats, Shen Bai didn't dare to move, and let Zhao Che hit the soaphorn on his hand, rubbing the ink off little by little, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

In the previous life, although Zhao Che occasionally made some abnormal actions towards her, most of them were verbal care, and there was little physical contact.

Shen Bai's hands were very small, with slender fingers, and after the ink was washed off, the small hands looked excessively white and tender.

The fingertips that had been injured before had fully recovered, and the best wound medicine had been used, leaving no traces, and the new nails had grown intact, and the pink and tender ones were very cute, and there was a kind of crystal clear beauty when stained with water droplets.

Zhao Che unconsciously looked away.

After helping Wei Ruzhao diagnose it, Imperial Doctor Zhang saw this scene, and he was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he hurriedly said: "Young Master Shen is back, it just so happens that the old minister is here, let the old minister see how your tongue is recovering." ”

The moment Imperial Doctor Zhang spoke, Zhao Che threw away Shen Bai's hand, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was lost, Shen Bai even felt that for a moment, his hand was something dirty and terrible in Zhao Che's eyes.

Obviously, you insisted on helping me wash my hands, what is wrong with you, Your Highness?

Shen Bai slandered, wiped his hands with the hem of his clothes casually, found a stool to sit down, and obediently opened his mouth to let Imperial Doctor Zhang check his tongue.

Imperial Physician Zhang wrinkled his face, worriedly helped Shen Bai to check, first poked Shen Bai's tongue lightly with a clean wooden stick, and asked, "Does this still hurt?" ”

Shen Bai nodded, and Imperial Physician Zhang asked again, "It hurts?" ”

Shen Bai shook his head.

Imperial Doctor Zhang had a rough idea in his heart, and after carefully checking it, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with relief: "It seems that the recovery is not bad at present, but we should pay attention to avoid eating spicy food." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to be taboo, Shen Bai's shoulders immediately collapsed, and Imperial Doctor Zhang knew that she was disobedient, so he deliberately glared at her with a straight face: "Not only taboo, but also taboo, even if you can speak in the future, don't keep talking, you are not afraid of flashing your tongue, and people will be annoyed when they hear your voice!" ”

Lao Zhang, don't you think it's easier for you to be annoyed than me when you talk now?

Shen Bai slandered, Imperial Physician Zhang hesitated and looked at Zhao Che, he was not a minister, he couldn't hide his words, so he just pasted a few big words "If you want to say something, stop talking" on your face.

Zhao Che looked at him coldly and said, "What is there to say, don't be so stubborn!" ”

Imperial Physician Zhang nodded again and again, and said softly: "Mrs. Taifu is about to give birth in a few days, Taifu is busy with government affairs and can't accompany him at home, the old minister sees that Young Master Shen's injuries are recovering very well, and now Uncle Guo is sick again, and it is inconvenient for Young Master Shen to stay in Lingzhao Palace. ”

Imperial Physician Zhang is one of the few people who knows Shen Bai's daughter's body, Shen Bai only thought that he was worried that he and Zhao Che would expose his daughter's body if he got too close, and he didn't think much about it, Zhao Che glanced at Shen Bai, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, Imperial Physician Zhang will take her out of the palace after a while, lest the palace send someone to send her again." ”

Imperial Physician Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and said yes, Zhao Che looked at Shen Bai again and added: "That maid next to you is good, stay in Lingzhao Palace to take care of Uncle Guo first." ”

Your Highness, you used to like to grab food, but now you are blatantly robbing people, can it be good?

The palace is not as good as the Taifu Mansion, Cha Bai is alone here Shen Bai was a little uneasy, and wrote on the table with water: Your Highness, it is okay for people to stay in Ling Zhao Palace, but to ensure her safety, if something happens to her, I can do it.

Zhao Che lifted his eyes, looked at Shen Bai coldly and said, "You dare to splash it!" ”

Shen Bai stiffened his neck, just try it, do you think the master is playing with you?

Knowing that she was a foolish character, Zhao Che finally agreed to her request.

Imperial Physician Zhang took Shen Bai out of the palace, and the two took the carriage back to the Taifu Mansion together, Imperial Physician Zhang looked at Shen Bai with a sad frown all the way, and waited for the time to reach the Taifu Mansion and then talk to Shen Bai and said, who knew that as soon as the two entered the gate, they saw the little girl running in a panic, and said loudly: "Young master, it's not good, Mrs. has a tire!" ”
