I only heard Liu Mingli frowning, his voice was a little soft, but there was no lack of sternness in the gentleness: "Wanqing, you are an old man who follows me, there are some things, just let it be, you shouldn't worry too much." ”

Hearing this, the lines at the corners of Zhu Mao's mouth hooked. He knew that since the emperor said so, it showed that the emperor already knew about Wanqing's frequent contact with foreign ministers, and depending on the situation, he did not approve of it.

This can be regarded as a wise man!

Since ancient times, the harem and eunuchs have been chaotic in an endless stream, but any emperor who has such a thing, regardless of his character and means, will be crowned with the title of "faint king" in the history books, leaving a stench for 10,000 years.

Obviously, Liu Mingli understands this truth very well, although he loves Wanqing, but he will not condone Wanqing. He wisely chose the former. This is the right choice for those on top. Liu Mingli grew up under the watchful eye of Zhu Mao, and he had a kind of affection for the emperor out of the same way as the elders for the younger generations, although he himself would not admit it, and he did not dare to admit it, but this is the case.

Miss Wanqing is a smart person, otherwise she would not have been lying dormant by the side of the prince for so long, and when everyone was not optimistic about the prince, she chose to make a desperate bet. The facts showed that her choice was the right one.

But such a shrewd person was also dazzled by power at this moment, and he couldn't hear the meaning of the emperor's words at all. Or rather, she didn't want to think about it. In her will, the emperor is still the sick prince, and he is still the kind big brother.

As everyone knows, once he becomes the master of the world. No matter how kind you are, you will become iron-blooded. Liu Bang is benevolent. Even Xiao He can bear the fact that he slept with his wife hundreds of times, but when he killed Han Xin and chased Zhang Liang. How cold-blooded was that? If Wanqing knew that Liu Mingli had even wanted to kill Zhou Xiaocao, I am afraid that she would break out in a cold sweat on the spot.

Zhou Xiaocao and Wanqing, which is more important, do you need to say? Zhou Xiaocao is not easy to replace, and Wanqing is not easy to replace? As long as the emperor gives an order, how many girls with no less beautiful and talented posture than Wanqing will throw themselves into their arms?

But she didn't know, or she didn't want to know.

Wanqing covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, you can't say that. His Majesty governs this huge country alone. There will always be times when you are tired, and you still have to reuse some reliable ministers to help share some of the burden. ”

Liu Mingli's face sank, and his lips trembled. He really didn't think that a beautiful woman who was once so gentle and graceful could become such a person? At this moment, he remembered the benefits of Zhou Xiaocao. That kid, for fear that the burden on him will be heavy, and he wants to push it out if he is given power! Sun Tianshi has a lot of praise for him, and it seems that he is not untargeted.

Zhou Xiaocao. Where are you now? When you come back, should I put down my face and apologize to you? What a headache.

Thinking of this, Liu Mingli patted his head, but Zhu Mao didn't see it. Isn't there a showy girl here? I, an old slave, just waiting for the emperor's orders, do I still have to compete with a little girl for favor? How many foundations does she have?

Wanqing really raised her hand up. helped Liu Mingli pinch the Fengchi acupoint: "Look, Your Majesty has a headache, right?" Deal with state affairs. It's not His Majesty's task alone. ”

Liu Mingli's face became even more ugly, but he didn't go crazy. As mentioned earlier. Liu Mingli is a person who misses the old love very much, for so many years, Wanqing has served him with all his heart, even if there is no credit, but there is always hard work, right? Just like now, only Wanqing is alone by his side to serve the pillow, make the bed and warm his feet, how can he bear to reprimand her? Let's hope she'll wake up.

Liu Mingli said: "So, in your opinion, the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China are available?" ”

Where is this what the emperor said to a palace maid, this is clearly what he said to the princes and prime ministers! In this sentence, if the emperor favors you, he is really asking you; If the emperor hates you, he is scolding you, you are too lenient, don't you want to die?

Wan Qing smiled and said, "What about these things, the slave maid doesn't know about them. However, the emperor has met with a lot of courtiers these days, and the slaves and maids have seen a lot on the side, and there are always a few intuitive ones that are pleasing to the eye, this is just some personal opinions of the slaves and maids. ”

Liu Mingli closed his eyes again and said, "I don't laugh at you, you can talk about it." ”

Zhu Mao lowered his head and sneered, Wanqing pretended to be silent for a moment, and then said: "That, Master Jiao Qinjiao, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is not bad!" ”

This Jiao Qin, Zhu Mao knows, he is a role model in the early emperor's period, talented, exported, and writes splendid articles. If it weren't for Emperor Tianze's opinion that his article was too gorgeous, maybe he would have done it.

It's just one thing, this person is so happy, there is no one in his eyes, and arranging him in such a clear water yamen as the Ministry of Industry is also the emperor's good intention to train him. It's a pity that this benevolent brother is not repentant, and he is also very unsatisfactory in the Ministry of Industry, although he was valued by the emperor and appointed an important position of a squire, but it is a pity that he himself does not seek to be motivated, and after so many years, he will not be able to move the nest.

Liu Mingli continued to close his eyes, thinking about Jiao Qin's information in his heart, and asked very calmly: "Oh, is it?" How do you see that? ”

Liu Mingli snorted very coldly in his heart, Jiao Qin, right? It turned out to be you! As soon as I succeeded to the throne, you came to express your attitude, but it was all about slapping the horse, without any real material. How can an article be well written? I don't want a teacher, I want a capable minister who can govern the country! Sage Confucius once said, "Ning Wuzi, if the state has a way, it will be wise, and if the state has no way, it will be foolish, its wisdom can be reached, and its foolishness cannot be reached." "Are you trying to prove that I'm a dumb king? So I don't like it. Well, now you have learned to save the country, and run to Wanqing's side to be courteous!

This Jiao Qin didn't know, this touched the emperor's scales, he was still dreaming of Qingqiu at home, he felt that the emperor loved the girl so much, as long as she was willing to say a few good words for herself, it would be a matter of time before she was promoted? As everyone knows, he has been blacklisted by Liu Mingli.

Wanqing said: "Your Majesty, he has been here a few times, the slave and maid have watched carefully, this person is talented, and he was the leader of the two Jinshi during the period of the first emperor, and his ability is great." The most important thing is that Lord Jiao's heart for the emperor is a great loyalty. ”

Liu Mingli sneered in his heart, hum, loyal ministers? Does Loyalty Have to Be Reused? If you go in the wrong direction, the more loyal you are, the more destructive you will be!

Liu Mingli said: "Okay, you go down, I still have to review some folds, just have Zhu Mao here." ”

Wanqing didn't know if what she said just now was useful, but she received a few thousand taels of silver from Master Jiao! If you can't help, Lord Jiao will have to be difficult to explain.

So he said: "But the emperor ......"

Liu Mingli turned his head, pulled her head down, helped her comb the messy hair in front of her forehead, and said softly: "Go back, you are indispensable in my bedroom." ”

Looking at Liu Mingli's affectionate eyes, Wanqing had no choice but to nod and said, "The slave and maid retire." ”

After Wanqing went out, Liu Mingli waved his hand towards Zhu Mao: "You come here." ”

Zhu Mao understood, handed the dust to a palace maid, stood where Fang Wanqing was standing, and continued to rub Liu Mingli's shoulders.

The palace maid on the side flashed a pair of big eyes, she couldn't understand today's events, which one was more favored? It looks like she's going to be unable to sleep at night. But in this palace, if you are not smart enough, you can only become a stepping stone for others, and become the denominator for others to climb up, and the little girl must open her own mind.

Liu Mingli said: "Zhu Mao, where is that guy Zhou Xiaocao now?" I've wanted to see him. ”

Zhu Mao smiled slightly, the emperor's words mean that he has forgiven Zhou Xiaocao, and he still needs Zhou Xiaocao! However, now is the time for him to add another fire!

So Zhu Mao said: "Zhou Xiaocao? This kid actually shook his hand away without saying a word, obviously not taking the emperor in his eyes! If he doesn't come back, it's just that he will pay it back, as long as he dares to come back, the slave and maid will be severely punished! (To be continued......)
