Chapter 158: A Ridiculous Bet (2nd Update)

When Zhao Yu came, she was burning those manuscripts, one by one, very religious.

"Why are you here?" When there are no palace people, she rarely behaves.

"I heard you were here, so I came. Zhao Yu was still standing there, looking at her quietly, the firelight reflected her face red, and the flames swayed from side to side with the breeze, like his turbulent heart.

"What's the matter?" she asked directly, Zhao Yu slowly squatted down beside her, picked up a piece of paper and looked at it carefully, as if attracted by her font, she didn't answer for a long time, and Zhou Jinhuan gently fanned the flames, and the sudden high flames made him pay attention to him, and cleared his throat and said: "Cough, it's okay, it's the Yellow River burst the embankment that I said a few days ago, and I haven't decided on a plan yet......

"What is the plan?" Zhou Jinhuan replied lazily, who is he Zhao Yu, can there be such a thing as the Yellow River bursting, and he wants to come to her to discuss?

"Zhou Jinhuan, let's make a bet, if you win, I will listen to you in this plan to control the Yellow River. Zhao Yu suddenly grabbed her hand, those beautiful eyes stared straight at her, she withdrew her hand, lowered her head and continued to burn the manuscript, and said calmly: "There is no interest." ”

These words are from the heart, she is in the harem and it is difficult to go, what do you have to care about the life and death of the previous dynasty?

"One plan was proposed by Lin Lian, and the other was Zhang Zilang. Zhao Yu's words made Zhou Jinhuan stunned, and her hands were almost burned: Zhang Zilang, Zhang Zilang, could it be the Zhang Zilang she knew?

"That's right, it's him. Zhao Yu gave her a positive answer, but Zhou Jinhuan still didn't believe it: "Wasn't Zhang Zilang exiled because he bewitched the soldiers?"

It is not terrible to bewitch a soldier, but it is terrible to intend to rebel.

She always thought that after Zhang Zilang was exiled, he would never have a chance to return to Yecheng, but she never thought that he would come back again to govern the Yellow River.

"What, are you interested in listening to it now?" Zhao Yu said well, if this matter has something to do with Zhang Zilang, then she is bound to intervene, you must know that the situation in the court is ever-changing, and sometimes it is only a matter of a moment.

"Say, what are you betting on?" Zhou Jinhuan threw all the manuscripts in the brazier, asked Zhengse, Zhao Yu smiled, and pulled her out of the Buddhist hall.

The north gate of the palace is sparsely populated, and even in summer, it is a little desolate.

"What are you doing here?" there was nothing special here, she really couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.

"Let's put paper kites. Zhao Yu didn't know when there were two more paper kites in her hand, Zhou Jinhuan was about to shake her head, but he forced the paper kite into her hand: "Let's bet on this." ”

Bet on paper kites, what the hell is this?

Zhou Jinhuan's defeated appearance made Zhao Yu a little happy, and explained: "Let's compete to release the paper kite to see whose paper kite falls." ”

What?It's weird enough to put paper kites in the game, why is it still better than who puts them down?

Zhou Jinhuan wanted to throw the kite directly on Zhao Yu's face, turn around and leave, but thinking about Zhang Zilang, she couldn't help it: Isn't it just a paper kite, who is afraid of whom?

Zhou Jinhuan is not a master of putting paper kites, but her level is not bad, although she can't put it too high, but it is not difficult for her to keep the paper kite in the air;

Zhao Yu is a man, or a military general, and the things he has been exposed to since he was a child are swords and halberds and the like, and he is really not good at this kind of thing.

Zhao Yu's biggest feature is his amazing learning ability, just like the original backgammon, he can not even understand the rules at the beginning, and turn defeat into victory, this is ability.

The same is true for the paper kite, at first Zhao Yu's side was in danger, but then it was stable, and the two stayed up like this until it was slowly dark, and they didn't decide the winner.

"The rules of the game are simply meaningless. "Accompanied Zhao Yu to put paper kites at the north gate of the palace for an afternoon, Zhou Jinhuan's mood can be good.

"Then what do you say you want to do?" Zhao Yu's attention at this time was on Zhou Jinhuan's pouting mouth, and there was a momentary pause in his hand, and it was this pause that the paper kite that was originally in the sky slowly fell, and Zhou Jinhuan suddenly smiled: "Zhao Yu, you lost." ”

Zhao Yu threw aside the kite string in his hand, walked towards her with a step, smiled, raised his hand and pinched her face: "Yes, I lost." ”

He suddenly made such a move, Zhou Jinhuan was a little uncomfortable, took a step back, and smiled: "What you said, if I win, which plan to use to control the Yellow River is up to me." ”

"Yes, that's what I said. When Zhao Yu said this, Zhou Jinhuan was much more relieved.

The north gate of the palace is sparsely populated, and now that the moon is about to climb, Zhou Jinhuan didn't want anything to happen here, so he dragged him to Changle Palace.

"Let's talk about what both options are. Although it has long been decided to support Zhang Zilang unconditionally, it is still necessary to ask programmatically.

Zhao Yu seriously told her the plan of the two, and she listened carefully, her eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.

The first plan is to widen a river called "Jiahe" in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, because the Yellow River bursts because of the sudden rise of the river's water, and if the Jiahe River is widened, it will have a stronger ability to divert the river, thereby reducing the pressure on the Yellow River;

The first plan was proposed by Lin Lian, and the second plan was proposed by Zhang Zilang.

No matter who it is, they must choose the first one, let alone someone as smart as Zhao Yu?

"You have your own ideas, so why bother with me?" Zhou Jinhuan also thought so, while Zhao Yu smiled at her: "I am the king of a country, I say that I listen to you, as long as you say, I will listen." ”

"Even if I choose Zhang Zilang's plan, you will listen to me?" Zhou Jinhuan asked tentatively, but got Zhao Yu's affirmative answer: "Yes, what you say, I will listen, because of the bet, I lose, I am willing to lose." ”

"Well, I choose Zhang Zilang's plan. Zhou Jinhuan was still tentative when she said this, but Zhao Yu's reaction made her know that she was wrong, and he didn't hesitate at all: "Okay, I'll go and draft the purpose." ”

She thought he was still acting, but she didn't want him to really leave, and it wasn't until his back was completely gone that she finally believed that he was real.

Really, using Zhang Zilang's strategy, if he can successfully control the Yellow River, then Zhang Zilang will immediately become a first-class person in the imperial court; if it fails, this strategy is decided by Zhao Yu himself, Zhang Zilang is just the person who provides the plan, and he will not be greatly investigated.

As for herself, she is now in the harem, what are she afraid of?

Yes, yes, that's it, it's a lucrative gamble, and it's worth a try.

Zhou Jinhuan has been hypnotizing herself, and what Su Wan saw when she entered the door was the strange scene of her talking to herself.

"Niangniang, are you okay?" Su Wan stepped forward, Zhou Jinhuan smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, it's good, Qian Yanran and Zhou Caiwei don't have any reaction now, I'm fine, heh......"

In Su Wan's impression, Zhou Jinhuan was rarely so nervous, but looking at her dodgy eyes, it seemed that she didn't want to say anything.

"Niangniang must be tired these days, let's rest early. Su Wan thought that she was tired of dealing with the harem and Zhao Yu, and was about to leave, when Zhou Jinhuan suddenly asked, "Wan'er, do you know about the bursting of the Yellow River?"

"Niang Niang suddenly asked what is this for?" Su Wan turned her head, as if to recall something: "Wan'er has never encountered it, but I have heard that the Yellow River is muddy, the riverbed is too high, the river is wanton, flooding many villages, many people are displaced, and in severe cases, malaria will be infected......"

"It's getting late, you can go back first. Zhou Jinhuan really didn't have the courage to listen to it, so he sat on the bed and stared at the veil habitually: Do you really want to use the lives of those people to give Zhang Zilang a chance to gain a foothold in the officialdom?

That night, she slept extremely unsteadily, and the Yellow River was surging as if it was about to drown her.

When Zhou Jinhuan woke up, it was not yet dawn, she touched the sweat on her face and slowly sat up.

The next day, Su Wan pushed the door and entered, and was really startled to see Zhou Jinhuan sitting on the bed.

"Su Wan, go and inquire where Zhao Yu stayed last night. Zhou Jinhuan was wearing clothes mechanically, this was the first time she asked Su Wan to inquire about Zhao Yu's itinerary, and Su Wan didn't react until Zhou Jinhuan urged her again: "What are you still stunned about, go quickly." ”

Su Wan didn't dare to delay now, there was wind under her feet, and she disappeared after a while.

When Su Wan came back, she had just dressed and didn't even wash her face: "Take me with you." ”

"But Niangniang, you ...... now" Su Wan's words couldn't catch up with Zhou Jinhuan's steps, and she couldn't but catch up immediately.

The imperial study is a forbidden place, Zhou Jinhuan asked the guards to pass it on, and then stood outside the door and waited.

"Concubine Jinniang, the emperor announced that you should go in. It was Xiao Mencius who passed the word, and Zhou Jinhuan breathed a long sigh of relief: It's okay, it should be in time, right?
