Chapter 422: A Wolf or a Dog

Kang Anbo was a former emperor, and he promised the birth mother of the five princes to the emperor before the current emperor ascended the throne, and brought a lot of support. And over the years, he has worked hard to guard the coast.

Therefore, Kang Anbo is one of the few courtiers who can be trusted by the emperor. He was kind to the emperor, and the emperor also gave him great tolerance, and handed over all the rights along the coast to him.

In fact, it stands to reason that Kang Anbo has been in the wind and rain for many years, and there should not be only one earl, but the reason for this is that Kang Anbo is very clear.

The princes gradually grew up, and because of his grandson Zhu Changzhe, Kang Anbo's position gradually became sensitive. If someone else ascends the throne in the future, the higher Kang Anbo's status, the more unfavorable it is for the future emperor to take power, and it may also harm him and the people of the Earl's Court.

If Zhu Changzhe can win the high position, then Kang Anbo will definitely take a big step forward, and then this merit of grace will be simply left to Zhu Changzhe to do.

Therefore, in recent years, the emperor's rewards and appeasements to Kang Anbo have been mostly used on Zhu Changzhe or on external objects. The two parties understand each other and are at peace.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why the emperor is embarrassed.

Future...... If we really want to achieve a smooth transition of imperial power and a smooth change of power, it is not easy for all parties to develop in a balanced manner.

This dynasty has been established for many years, and there are many families with roots and influence, and many relationships are intertwined and involve the whole body, and it is easy not to move. Many big clans have accumulated several dynasties, and they still want to stretch for hundreds of generations.

between civil ministers and military attachés, between old clans and new nobles, and between central and local governments......

It's like a tool for work, and it's easy to have problems as it gets older. At this moment, the same is true between the DPRK and China, and many contradictions are beginning to be revealed.

Just like the crown prince, the power behind him is too great, almost all the old clans are standing behind him, in the early years, the emperor was overwhelmed by the pressure, and those people began to extend from the moral patriarchal law and the rules and systems, and had to set up the storage position early.

But the emperor didn't like this feeling of being semi-coerced very much, he was the Son of Heaven, why should he be pressured by a large group of courtiers. If he is as strong as he is, what about his sons and grandsons in the future? Will he become a puppet emperor at that time?

Of course, the emperor can turn a blind eye to these problems and only enjoy happiness in a high position. But he wants to be a Ming monarch, he wants to make merits, and he wants to ensure that the imperial power is still intact when it is passed down from his hands!

So this is also one of the reasons why he chose to indulge the princes. There were no large-scale wars, and the princes crossed the sea with eight immortals to win over all forces. And in order to prosper for a long time, all parties will naturally choose sides.

The more powerful the forces of all parties become, the more powerful the infighting and internal friction will be.

All the emperor has to do is to strike a good balance.

In the long run, after a few years, the effect he wants will naturally appear.

In a stable environment, this kind of "internal friction" is the best way. Although there are strife and sacrifices, they are benign for long-term development.

Just like the Xiao family, it is too difficult to deal with them head-on, and the resistance is too great.

It's different from the side, starting from the women, just such a light and clever blow made them look like foreigners, what a hundred years of family, directly lost face, and Ma Lisuo was expelled from the noble circle. After returning to Beijing, it will be much easier to deal with it if you can use this excuse to attack the prince and Master Xiao again......

And the emperor recently handed over everything from the southern tour to the renovation of the Hongze Dam to Zhu Changzhe, which is undoubtedly a kind of trust and value, which made Kang Anbo smell a little unusual, and his face also showed a strong excitement.

Kang Anbo mentioned Zhu Changzhe's marriage at the banquet.

The grandson is not young, even if he doesn't get married, it's time to get married, right?

At least you have to have this plan, so that you can openly find the support of your wife and concubine family!

He didn't dare to mention this matter before, and he didn't have the right opportunity to mention it, but at this moment, he could say it face to face, and second, he would strike while the iron was hot, and his grandson was rising strongly at this time, and he felt that he should seize the opportunity to fight for a good daughter-in-law for his grandson, a good backer.

However, the emperor did not speak, but Zhu Changzhe firmly refused, which made Kang Anbo stunned!

He took Zhu Changan as an excuse, only saying that the fourth brother was not married, and he couldn't cross the ranks. He also said that he would go out to practice like his fourth brother in the coming year, and he didn't want to be bound by marriage......

The emperor announced in public that he would send Zhu Changzhe to follow Kang Anbo to train in the coastal defense line after the Hongze Dam was repaired.

Kang Anbo is overjoyed, long live the three calls.

The other princes, who were not yet aware, were far more jealous than envious.

If Zhu Changzhe's rise was not obvious enough, then at this moment, even a blind person can feel it. Zhu Chang'an went to the northwest mainly to Rongbian, and fought against foreign tribes. But what Zhu Changzhe is facing is that in addition to foreign races, there are also many internal forces, which are incomparable from communication to his own growth......

What Zhu Changzhe got was a good errand with fame, advantage, and power!

Cheng Ziyu noticed that Kang Anbo's eyes were blue and black, and the tiredness of the dusty servants was much heavier than that of his own group.

"Coastal coastal defense has been busy. In recent months, commercial entry and exit have basically stopped, the more so, there are a lot of dissatisfied foreign businessmen and even pirates, and Kang Anbo is tired of mediation and suppression, too busy. ”

Talking to Cheng Ziyu was Mrs. Shu Dilin.

That is, when Cheng Ziyu made a birthday gift, Cheng Hao used to sell smuggled salt, Cheng Ziyu claimed to go to Shu to celebrate his birthday and get on the Gao family ship......

The Queen Mother went south, and Mrs. Lin, as a big man in Shu, came to congratulate her birthday with a post. Cheng Ziyu, the main banquet in Jinling, only saw Mrs. Lin from a distance, but fortunately, she saw it again at the banquet in Hangzhou.

Mrs. Lin's sister entered the palace during the reign of the first emperor, and she was also a little bit of the light of the imperial family, and then followed the royal car for two trips, and Cheng Ziyu was also able to get closer to Mrs. Lin, a year-old friend who had helped many times.

Mrs. Lin has always been generous, when Ziyu took matters into her own hands to change the birthday gift, Mrs. Lin didn't say a word, Gao Xi also helped Mrs. Lin in that matter, even in the previous life, the relationship between the two was also extremely good. Cheng Ziyu values this friendship very much.

Mrs. Lin also had to go to Ningbo this time, the Lin family had a big business, starting with silk, and a large part of the business was based on overseas trade. She is much more familiar with the coastal conditions of Zhejiang than Cheng Ziyu.

Even Kang Anbo has some dealings with Mrs. Lin.

At this moment, Mrs. Lin said so, but her expression was clearly profound.

Cheng Ziyu didn't know much about shipping, and knew that there were many people at the banquet, and some words were difficult to pick out, so he left his doubts to Li Chun.

"Quite simply, Mrs. Lin probably suspected that Kang Anbo had deliberately suppressed the situation along the coast, so that pirates and merchant ships jumped up and down, so as to create an atmosphere of difficulty and hard work, loyalty and difficulty, complex and busy, and a lot of hard work. Mrs. Lin is a big businessman, and she should see and know more. It's normal. ”

Li Chunshen glanced at her and couldn't help but admonish.

"Kang Amber has been in this position for many years, and it is certainly not easy. In coastal defense, I stayed for half a year, and it was very chaotic. Many merchants are thieves, and there are still widows in many thieves. Coupled with the officers and soldiers, there are actually four kinds of people mixed in it. The three parties still don't understand, let alone the Quartet? So cooperation or fighting, anything is possible. To exaggerate, many people have multiple relationships and multiple identities, and they can see the wind at any time.

Those who can participate in the game here are not ordinary people. I know that the last time Second Master Wan talked to you, were you also tempted by Wanjia's methods? You have me at the moment, don't think about those who don't have it, the way back in the future, you have to worry about me, you don't care! You know? ”

Cheng Ziyu nodded. Wan Erye clearly said last time that he wanted to cooperate with the Cheng family, Cheng Ziyu was moved by the atmosphere and fearlessness of the Wan family, and thought that if the situation was not good in the future, he might be able to follow the example of the Wan family and find a way back as soon as possible. But later, he became close to Li Chun, and the emperor invested, and the future of the Cheng family became much brighter. Since Li Chun said so, she naturally chose to trust......

"As for cooperation, there is no need either." Li Chun seemed to be a roundworm in her stomach, and she saw through what she thought at once, "We don't lack silver." Ore or something, let's spend money to buy it. The east doesn't sell and the west buys, so it's a big deal to spend more silver. There's no need to get involved in some unclear relationships with them for some benefit. You know? ”

Cheng Ziyu propped up her head and stared at him.

Li Chun is full of momentum when she is strong and serious, and she can say that kind of domineering spirit that stands up to the sky and the earth can make her heart steady and her heart beat faster every time.

Just like the last time he blocked the wine, as long as he stood in front, she was blocked tightly, no one could think of it, no one could get close......

She likes to hear him say "let", likes to listen to his advice, likes him to stand on their feet and makes decisions, likes the sense of security he gives her, and likes the eyes that he can't look at but only her reflection......

She could have liked him so much, whether it was a strong man or a dead face. Before she knew it, she only had him in her heart.

"Hmm." She took his hand and leaned on his shoulder.

She liked the feeling of being quiet, and she knew he liked it too.

"Mrs. Lin asked me to accompany her to Ningbo Port tomorrow."

"That's okay, I'll let Xia Wei follow you."

"Good!"

When she leaned on his shoulder, she always liked to climb his arm with one hand and rub his hand with the other.

It's annoying—Li Chun thinks.

Her fingertips were very soft, because of the perennial mud, the smooth and soft dough comparable to the dough, scratching around in the palm of his hand, more itchy than mosquito bites.

She loves to sit in the yard and watch the stars, but every time Li Chun sees it, it is her snow-white neck. Delicate and slender, not a single pore can be seen.

The moonlight would leave a matte halo on her skin, and he would think that the skin was like cheese, and he would always want to push her down, to see, to taste.

In particular, there was always a good and bewitching smell on her body rushing towards his nose, rushing into his head, stimulating his brain, and spreading to all his limbs.

When she leaned in, it would make him feel even more restless.

But he was reluctant to push her away, and he didn't dare to touch her...... Lately, he didn't even dare to kiss her.

It's not that I'm afraid of her annoyance, but I'm afraid that I'm uncomfortable.

The last time he touched her limp waist, she was probably startled and reacted violently. As she bounced, her foot slipped, and he subconsciously went to grab her, so she fell into his arms.

Her whole body was attached to him.

Her softness gave him a huge shock.

Her struggles added fuel to the fire......

She snorted, leaving him to suffer by himself.

He hated to look at her, but she didn't realize it.

He drank a pot of cold water and left, practiced a few sets of boxing, sweated, and failed to dissipate the heat. One night, I had some unspeakable dreams.

Since then, he has "followed the rules", and when facing her, he only let his eyes move at most, and never take the initiative to provoke. But in his heart, he gritted his teeth again and again and swore that in the future, in the future; Later, later; Later, later; So, so; That, that......

"Pour tea!" Before Li Chun felt that his body would be out of control again, he signaled that Cheng Ziyucha was gone.

Recently, Cheng Ziyu felt that the number and amount of alcohol he drank were significantly less, and he began to drink tea instead.

When asked, Xia Wei teased that he was quitting alcohol in order to save money.

After all, it's a good thing, Cheng Ziyu doesn't want to pull him back, and makes tea for him every day.

I don't know that he is used to something wrong - he only drinks what she brews. Every day is a good time......

"So, if you want to quit my addiction, you have to marry me early. Look at me and make me tea. These were his exact words.

There are a lot of famous teas in Jiangnan, and Cheng Ziyu observes him carefully every day, wondering what kind of tea he likes, so that he can prepare some to take back to Beijing......

But she soon discovered that in fact, his tea was simply cow drink, Biluochun was still Maojian, Longjing or Bird's Tongue, and he had the same reaction at all. Probably he wasn't interested, didn't care, maybe didn't like it at all.

That day, she simply poured wine in his teacup, and when he watched Liu Er hit the hidden weapon, he swallowed it in one gulp, only to reveal a satisfied mouthful, full of expressions that life is so sufficient.

She burst out laughing.

"Don't quit, it's not easy to have a hobby that makes you happy. As long as you drink less, it won't hurt you. ”

"Really?"

"Seriously, I can afford to raise you!" Cheng Ziyu secretly slandered himself, this guy drinks tea more money, he loves heavy tastes, all the tea is only drunk in the first two open, and he has to change the tea three or four times an hour, and he has to drink two taels of tea every day, which is much more expensive than drinking.

"Lady, you're so nice." He showed a flattering expression, but Cheng Ziyu began to feel that he was a bit like a little milk dog raised in the village.

Fortunately, whether it is a wolf or a dog, she likes it.

Cheng Ziyu was hugged by him, but after a little slow, she found that the corners of his lips were a little triumphant.

So, did he deliberately use a little trick to make her take the initiative to give in to his biggest hobby?

What a dog and what a wolf, it's clearly a fox!

She couldn't help but bite him on the shoulder.

But he laughed and showed off.

"Lady, you are not an opponent for your husband. It's better to get it from it sooner! ”……

Over there, the emperor and Kang Anbo talked privately for an hour that night.

But before he finished speaking, Kang Anbo left ahead of schedule.

It is said that there are people making trouble along the coast......

Kang Anbo heard that his grandson would be crowned king after returning to Beijing, and he had already sent the congratulatory gift to Zhu Changzhe in advance.

10,000 taels of silver tickets, some jewelry, as well as a property and two stores in Beijing, Zhu Changzhe smiled slightly, so much?

Is it the grandfather who wants to invest more in himself, or the grandfather has a lot of money?

……
