Seeing this, the queen's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she walked over and plucked the incense from the incense burner, making the smell stronger. When he went to bed again, he found that the emperor had fallen asleep extremely sleepy.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have been busy with foreign trade matters recently, have you finished your work?"

The Emperor's head was groggy, but he could hear it clearly. I couldn't help yawning, "Not yet, this thing needs to be done slowly." ”

"If this thing is done, in the green history, I will definitely praise Your Majesty."

The emperor likes to listen to nice words, and he wants to hear people praise him for being a generation of Ming Jun, and he is a little proud when he hears this, "I am just for the welfare of the common people in the world, and I don't want to be famous." Having said that, the emperor's face was full of smugness.

"Your Majesty is wise, but I don't know, which imperial merchant is the merchant who got the right to foreign trade?" The empress followed the emperor's words and asked pretending not to know.

The emperor didn't have a defense in front of the empress, so he waved his hand indifferently, "It's Han Zhaoyin." ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen was speechless for a long time, and the emperor couldn't help but open his eyes, stroked her soft hair, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"The concubine has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." The queen bit her lip in embarrassment.

"Zitong has something to say, but I won't cure your crimes."

After winning the gold medal for avoiding death, the queen smiled, "The concubine heard that the son of the Han family is actually a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, and he only went to do business because he couldn't go through the official career." ”

The emperor stared at the empress and said in a deep voice, "What does the empress mean?" ”

"Trade with foreign countries is a major matter, and the concubines feel that the selection of people is very important, and the emperor needs to be cautious, if the son of the Han family really has no ability, won't it delay the emperor's major affairs."

The emperor is suspicious by nature, but the person he chooses himself does not fully believe it, and when he heard the queen say this at this moment, he suddenly became suspicious.

"Really? But King Wei said that Han Zhaoyin's business was very big and very smart. The Emperor's voice was inaudible.

The queen sighed, "Your Majesty, then Han Gongzi is relatively close to King Wei, I'm afraid the prince also wants to help him." ”

After speaking, he peeked at the emperor, and saw that there was some anger in his eyes, and he was secretly happy in his heart, now, Han Zhaoyin not only couldn't get the right to foreign trade, but he was afraid that even the king of Wei would be angry.

Sure enough, when he went to court the next day, the emperor never mentioned this matter, and the king of Wei was puzzled and went to ask the emperor, but the emperor told him that this matter had to be discussed slowly, and he couldn't decide for a while.

King Wei hated it very much, knowing that someone must have made trouble in the middle, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth secretly and endure it.

Although the right to trade was temporarily shelved, the King of Wei did not stop there, and he asked the spies to secretly find out who was doing the trouble.

At night, the moon hangs on the willow tops. The watchman was walking around the deserted street, and suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind overhead, and he raised his head in confusion, but only saw a slightly swaying willow branch.

Probably an illusion.

The husband shook his head and continued to tell the time in his throat, the sound of the gong spread far and wide in the alley, and on the top of the house behind him, the words "Wei Wangfu" were revealed.

"Is that true?" Looking at the spies at his feet, King Wei's face was gloomy.

"It's true, master, with the queen intervening, if we want to get the right to trade, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

"Let me think about it, and stand down."

The spy seemed to want to say something more, but when he saw the gloomy face of King Wei, which could almost drip water, he finally swallowed the words that came to his lips, arched his hand and retreated, as if he had never appeared.

For a while, King Wei was the only one left in the room, and he was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows wrinkling more and more.

He originally thought that if he took Han Zhaoyin under his command and won the right to foreign trade, everything would be fine. never thought that the queen would cross the foot at the most critical moment.

Time passed minute by minute, the sky gradually revealed the white of the fish's belly, King Wei thought about it all night, did not think of a way to crack it, after the dawn, he was worried and went to Xu Huaiqing, hoping that the two could discuss the countermeasures together.

The subordinate of the Xu family was about to go out, and Leng Buding was startled by the person who suddenly came out. Fortunately, he had also seen King Wei in disguise before, so he didn't stop him too much, so he let the other party in.

King Wei strode towards the front hall, his messy steps showing the anxiety in his heart.

"Huaiqing!" After seeing Xu Huaiqing, King Wei's footsteps paused, and his eyes looked around meaningfully.

After Xu Huaiqing understood, he waved away the subordinates who were cleaning in the house. After confirming that there were no other idlers waiting in the house, King Wei sat down on the chair with a golden knife, and poured another sip of tea, "What do you think of what happened in the court yesterday?" ”

Xu Huaiqing pondered for a moment and said, "Originally, the emperor had agreed, but someone must have made him change his mind. ”

According to Xu Huaiqing's ingenuity, even if there is no spy, he can guess an eight. Nine is not far from ten. Although the crown prince has always been eyeing trade rights, if he can make the emperor change his mind so easily, he will not wait until today, he is afraid that it is someone in the palace.

has a status in the harem and has a lot to do with the prince, except for the queen, he can't think of a second person.

"This time, we have to fight for the right to trade." King Wei gritted his teeth vigorously and said angrily, "If we let the trade power fall into the hands of the crown prince, then our situation will be even more difficult." A way must be found to wrest the right to trade from the crown prince. ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaiqing nodded vigorously, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, "Although that's right, how can we take back the right to trade?" The emperor already favors the crown prince, and the queen is secretly helping, the situation is very unfavorable for us. ”

King Wei's brows furrowed, and he also knew in his heart that the crown prince had already taken the advantage. But he was unwilling to let him give up the right to trade.

"In recent years, the prince has been arrogant and domineering, and he has done a lot of things for the common people in private. You try to collect as much evidence as possible, as long as we present the evidence to my father, we will definitely make my father suspicious of him and take back the right to foreign trade. ”

King Wei's words made Xu Huaiqing a little embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Although the prince acts arrogantly on weekdays, he is very cautious in handling key matters, and it may not be easy to find evidence of his evil." ”
