Kang Ning and Han Benyong both looked at the emperor, but Kang Ning's eyes were full of doubts, and Emperor Wanli suddenly changed his mind, which made him somewhat puzzled.

As for Han Benyong, he quickly retracted his gaze, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the emperor: "The slave and maid only wish His Royal Highness the prince peace, and as for the reward, the slave and maid will never dare to ask for it." ”

The old emperor was still very satisfied with his modesty, of course, whether this sentence was sincere or simply humble, Han Benyong deserved to be rewarded for this person.

"Prince, it's not easy to be loyal. I deserve to reward you. The old emperor made a decisive decision, and then turned his gaze to Kangning.

Corning, however, did not mean anything to be humble. Since the old emperor has changed his attention, he naturally wants to follow the emperor's words and see what arrangements the emperor has.

"The grass people and the mountains have never seen much of the world. I don't know what reward to ask for. Your Majesty looks at it. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people present laughed. Even Liu Tingyuan, who was preoccupied, and Luo Sigong, who said the wrong thing just now, laughed.

"I originally wanted to reward you with a high official. But you're a nerd, and you have to do science. ”

Kangning shouted in his heart, when will I come for the scientific expedition? What kind of little marquis, idle king and the like, it seems that it is more and his wishes, at least much better than intrigue, soaked in lies all day long.

But the old emperor could not hear his heart.

"That being the case. I just thought, wait until you succeed in the imperial examination, and then give you a reward. However, I am old and afraid that I will not be able to wait for you, a loyal little sapling, to grow into a towering tree. ”

"Your Majesty!" Kangning looked moved and bowed to the ground. It turned out that the old emperor did not have other plans, but was just worried that he would not have time to water his little sapling.

Corning knew that he was in Li Duo's plan. Although what the relationship between Li Duo and the old emperor was, he had no way of knowing. But looking at the old emperor's attitude towards him today, he knows that he was influenced by Li Duo. can influence the Ninety-Five to this extent. Li Duo, who had already arranged his next fate, was so great that his energy was impressive.

But then again, this arrangement did not cause Corning to have any rebellion, but like the plane that comfortably entered the runway, the rest was almost to spread its wings and soar.

Therefore, even if the old emperor was so curious and fond of Kang Ning because of Li Duo's face, Kang Ning only cared about the new part of it.

After living in lies for a long time, this thing is the most precious and heartwarming.

"The grass people are willing to die for Your Majesty."

"Okay." The old emperor suddenly popped out such a word, which frightened Kang Ning and really had the urge to slap his mouth, he wouldn't let himself die now.

But he heard the old emperor continue: "Then your life, the Ming court will accept it first." ”

Kangning stroked his little liver, and he almost jumped out in fright. However, he still has to express his position on the emperor's words.

"Go to the soup and go to the fire, don't give up!"

The old emperor nodded with satisfaction, but after a change of words, he suddenly smiled and said, "Stinky boy, you have taken the topic crookedly." I just asked you what reward you wanted. ”

Corning looked up and grinned. Since the old emperor used this tone, then he Kangning would play with him.

"Born in a family of grass people. He has always been insatiable. ”

Hearing this, the old emperor was already worried about his little treasury.

But he heard Kang Ning continue: "So the grass people dare to hope that Your Majesty can promise Weichen three things. ”

The old emperor gritted his teeth: "Let's hear it." ”

"First. The grass people have several friends, and they are quite involved in the study of the apricot forest. The grass people want them to be by His Majesty's side all the time. Only when Your Majesty is healthy can the prosperity and wealth of the grass people be guaranteed. ”

The old emperor breathed a sigh of relief, not just asking for money, so he immediately said: "Quasi! ”

"Second. Today, the grass people are blessed by heaven. actually married Jin Lan with the two emperors and grandsons. However, today's incident almost endangered their lives. The grass people have a few other friends, who are familiar with swords, guns and sticks, and had ambitions to enter the palace in their early years, but they have no way out. Today, the grass people want them to enter the Wei Ciqing Palace. In addition to protecting the emperor and grandson, it can also make His Majesty worry less. ”

When the old emperor heard this, he didn't ask for money, so he spit out the word "quasi" again.

"Third. Chenben Business Travel. Request to cooperate with His Royal Highness King Fu in business. ”

The old emperor's eyes immediately widened. It doesn't matter if Corning arranges a few friends to work in an unimportant department. But when it comes to money, he has to be cautious. In particular, he values his third son's business talent.

So the old emperor cautiously asked: "What kind of cooperation method, you can tell me." ”

Corning searched the memories of his predecessor and got a general idea of the assets he could invest in before continuing: "Each of them paid 10,000 taels of silver." Profit sharing, loss sharing. ”

The old emperor blinked. Ten thousand taels of silver was certainly not a decimal number, and he was very skeptical that Corning would be able to get it.

At this time, a message from the music in his head reminded him. This Kang Ning seems to be a son of a Hui merchant. There is no doubt about the ability to make money. Perhaps, he just needs the name of King Fu to deal with the exploitation of the government.

Thinking about this joint, the old emperor simply made the decision for the third son who had not woken up yet.

"Accurate!"

"The grass people thank Your Majesty for the mighty Longen."

The old emperor smiled, feeling that Kang Ning was young after all, and there seemed to be one missing from the conditions just now.

So he smiled and made up: "I know that you Hui merchants like to make a fortune in silence. None of the ministers present will tell you about today's events. If there is something in the future, even if you report the name of the blessed king, no one will dare to embarrass you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Of course, Kangning understood what the old emperor meant. Originally, he had many ways to fool Wang Sen. But when a lie is told, more lies are needed to sustain it. Someday it'll be a goof. Therefore, he simply didn't let Wang Sen know about these things, and directly didn't give him the source of suspicion.

The old emperor could see that Kang Ning had understood what he meant, nodded with satisfaction and said, "The person who should be rewarded has already been rewarded." These people can go. Brother Jian and Brother School should also follow your brother-in-law. I have important matters to discuss with your father. ”

Kang Ning and Han Benyong got up and left with Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen.

The two little ones were obviously curious about what the imperial grandfather, who had never spoken to his father, had something to say to his father today. They deliberately slowed down, only to hear the old emperor's voice suddenly become stern.

"Now, let's talk about those who are guilty of dereliction of duty."

The two children were so frightened that they subconsciously clenched Kangning's hand.

Corning sensed something was wrong, so he turned his head to listen.

"Liu Tingyuan, the imperial history of the city patrol, is obviously guilty of negligence, and he is under the edict of Jinyi Guard. Prince Zhu Changluo ......"

Corning couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, especially the two little guys.

The third son favored by the old emperor was seriously injured in order to protect the prince, but the prince only cared about the frightened favored concubine.

The old emperor must have learned about the situation from Luo Sigong, and next, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will at least be reprimanded. The charges are easy to find, and they are not guilty.

The punishment of Liu Tingyuan and the crown prince is not historical. On the original trajectory, Liu Tingyuan also asked for a ban on the domestic market afterwards, implying that it was not his responsibility for such a thing to happen. This time, it was good that Emperor Wanli, who had the long eyes of the traverser, sent him to the Jinyi Guard Prison cleanly.

At the same time, the old emperor was digging a pit for those who planned this. Liu Tingyuan, the only person who has experienced the incident, was imprisoned, which means that it is difficult for relevant information to be leaked.

All people on the outside can know is what the onlookers see. What the onlookers saw, Ciqing Palace broke into the assassins. None of them noticed that the person who looked like a merchant on Kang Ning's back at that time was His Royal Highness King Fu.

Thinking about it, someone will soon point the finger of suspicion at Concubine Zheng in the harem like the original historical script.

However, they didn't know that the old emperor and his traversers were already waiting for them. They want to bring down the prince's umbrella and further pave the way for King Fu to ascend the throne in the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

Kang Ning could even imagine that this was because the traverser Qin Ming told the old emperor how this empire would be destroyed in the hands of Zhu Changluo's father and son in the future.

It seems that his peer Qin Ming is ready to change history on a large scale.

But he Corning didn't.

If he could, he really wanted to dispose of this Qin Ming.

However, Mr. Wu has said that he has been placed under house arrest under the guise of enhanced protection. This means that the internal and external guards are very strict, and it is very inconvenient to start. Moreover, Corning had no idea where the house arrest was located.

After thinking for a long time, Kang Ning was stunned to realize that all he could do at the moment was to take the two little guys out to rub them.

Then rub it off.

"Let's go. Let's go to the gluttonous restaurant and have a good meal to give you a crush. ”

Corning smiled as he walked steadily forward with the two little ones in his arms.

Out of the palace, there was already a little eunuch waiting outside the door of Ciqing Palace. Han Benyong asked him to go back first to report, and said that the two emperors and grandsons were safe and sound. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was left by the emperor to speak.

The people in Ciqing Palace knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not treated well by the emperor, and when they heard that the prince was left to speak, they felt that this kind of closeness was a major benefit, and immediately ran back to report the good news.

It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expression when he returns to Ciqing Palace may make them disappointed.

But none of this has anything to do with Corning. He took Han Benyong and the two little guys to find Yang Dayan and his party near the inner city, and then everyone's only goal was to fill the Five Organs Temple.

When he walked to the gluttonous restaurant, Kang Ning vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Straighten your ears and listen, it turns out that many people are talking about the attack on the prince.

There are even people who can't wait to point the finger at Concubine Zheng.

Kang Ning sneered and led everyone straight to the private room on the top floor. These people lacked the most basic understanding of the emperor in the palace.

As a political creature, the emperor never uses a shovel to dig a pit, but he can still pit you to death.
