Chapter 236: The Poor Emperor

Although the chamberlain didn't finish speaking, Zhou Nianzhen already understood his next words, although the official looked insignificant, but for the emperor, it was a double-edged sword, which made people like and dislike.

"Does the old gentleman have a high strategy?"

"Although Old Master Zhen has no great merit, he has no great faults, and he still has a lot of reputation in the court, and some things are too much." Speaking of this, he said lightly, "The Cao family just wants to change their face, and it doesn't necessarily have to be the daughter of the Zhen family." ”

Zhou Nianzhen listened to Shen Qingci's words and suddenly looked slight, even the chess pieces in his hand were frozen in the air by him, as for the obedient chamberlain on one side, he was already drenched in cold sweat, and looked at Shen Qingci who was as steady as Mount Tai there with some surprise.

"Sir does know what I mean." He looked at the chamberlain on the side, and then said to him, "I heard that the old prime minister Zhen passed out in a coma, so I ordered Pei Guogong to go and appease me, and the daughter of the Zhen family can marry on her own." ”

"No."

Just when the inner servant was about to retreat, Zhou Nianzhen suddenly spoke, but his expression this time was quite cautious, "You will bring Cao Hong into the palace by the way." ”

Although the chamberlain was a little ignorant, he didn't dare to say anything more, and he hummed softly and retreated, while Shen Qingci smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a candidate in mind?" ”

"The daughter of the Zhen family is unwilling, the willing person since childhood, although Cao Hong is middle-aged, but his appearance and wrist are not bad, I am not worried that I can't find a daughter from the family."

When Cao Hong donated silver taels privately, he intentionally or unintentionally told himself about changing the court, which is why he has been watching from the wall. thought that the daughter of the Zhen family would not suffer too much if she married him, but who would have thought that it would lead to so many things.

"Your Majesty has something on his mind lately?"

"Although the Beicang Kingdom has slowed down the momentum of its offensive in the coming year, I have always been worried that Ran Yichen is secretly harboring a huge disaster, so I can't sleep at night recently."

When Zhou Nianzhen said this, the expression on his face was always solemn and abnormal, and he was quite helpless as the emperor of the troubled times, who let it be such a mess when he took over? So even with infamy, he also contributed to the coexistence of the five queens, because only enough food and salary can keep the soldiers of the front-line guards from leaving their hearts.

He had always thought that his father was too thoughtful and lacked the momentum to forge ahead, but when he sat in this position, he found that his father had done well enough, and he obviously had many shortcomings.

Just like the disaster of the northern and southern families now, if the father is still alive, no matter how tough the two forces are, they will not be as they are today. Although he is a son of heaven in troubled times, he definitely does not want to be a puppet.

β€”β€”Rather than broken jade, not whole.

"Your Majesty's worries are not bad, but this vision should be long-term, such as the royal capital of Beicang Kingdom."

Shen Qingci put the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and looked at the draw that was still stalemate just now, and the winner was instantly divided, and Zhou Nianzhen was also slightly stunned, but all his attention at this time was on Shen Qingci's words, and he didn't care about winning or losing in this chess game.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Even if he deliberately suppressed the eagerness in his heart, Shen Qing couldn't see the clues, and silently muttered in his heart: Even if he is young and old, he still has too little experience after all.

If Zhou Chengyun is still alive, it is undeniable that it is indeed difficult for him to seize power in the future, even if it is quite difficult for the person in front of him to grow his wings, but that person is dead after all, and some things have been doomed from the beginning.

Why did he try his best to help Zhou Nianzhen guard this broken mountain and river, but he didn't want to be devastated when he took over in the future. And if you let Ran Yichen's beast hit in front of you, then all your plans will become a pipe dream.

"No matter how brave and good Ran Yichen is, he is just a prince, and now that the prince of Beicang Kingdom has been established, his limelight is too strong."

"But this Ran Yichen and the East Palace of Beicang Kingdom are from the same mother, and the possibility of separation is very small, I'm afraid it's ......" He said and suddenly stopped, and then chuckled again, "It's that I'm stunned, how can there be flesh and blood in this prosperous era of imperial power?" ”

When he said this, his expression was not happy or angry, only heavy, and Shen Qingci's eyes suddenly paused slightly when he looked at the chessboard, and his eyes looked at him a little more cautiously, such a feeling really shouldn't be sighed at his age.

- It can only be said that none of the royal people are simple, and they have surpassed many adults in their view of human nature.

"I hope to wait for the good news from Your Majesty."

Shen Qingci always maintained a light smile on his face, he was not ready to pull out his connections to him as a raft, and with the background of how many years of Da Zhou, it should not be difficult to find a person who can speak well and is shrewd.

After Shen Qing resigned, Zhou Nianzhen announced that Liao and everyone had entered the palace, although she has been controlling the financial resources of the royal family over the years, but she also knows a little about the people secretly placed by the royal family, although his father handed over the people placed in Beicang Kingdom to himself early in the morning, but he still wanted to test Liao Nishang.

β€” to see if she knows about it.

If she doesn't know, then she is afraid that she will be responsible for this incident, and only she can make herself feel at ease.

However, it turned out that he was too worried, Liao Nishang really didn't know about the secret agent of Beicang Kingdom, which was enough to see from the words he knocked on the side, so he had to change his words: "I heard that my aunt has recently pushed her business to Mizhou, and she has also made a lot of achievements?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Your Majesty has a heart. ”

When there was no great chaos in the world, she set up a semicolon in Mizhou, but she didn't care much about it at that time, but she also attached great importance to the affairs of Mizhou since she retreated to Jizhou, otherwise she would not have seen the history of Mizhou's assassination in private.

It seems that today is knowing that he has seen the history of the Mizhou assassination.

"I and my aunt are people in the same boat, but I don't need to take care of them more, if my aunt has anything, you can tell me."

"No."

"Auntie, my nearest hand......"

Liao Nishang looked at the sky speechlessly, and finally gritted her teeth and promised: "I don't know how much silver Your Majesty needs?" ”

"Actually, it's not a lot, you know that the snow has been falling in the north recently, and the soldiers are not clothed and hungry, which really makes me feel very worried, so I want to send people over to comfort the army's heart, and this food and grass and military salary are indispensable, so I ...... Let's take 200,000 taels first! ”

Seeing that Liao Nishang's face was not very good, Zhou Nianzhen continued to cry poorly: "My aunt also knows that I am a bit of a wretch for the emperor, although I said that a lot of silver was deposited by the crossbow some time ago, but I want to build a group of sailors to resist the Beicang Kingdom, and this property is indispensable." ”

"Subordinate...... Subordinates obeyed. ”
