The "folk county lord" has become a "hot potato"!

However, it doesn't mean that because it's hot, no one takes it. But for the emperor, it was not appropriate to throw it to anyone, so he felt that this potato was hot.

The reason why he promoted Cheng Ziyu to become the "civil county lord" was to include her in the palace and use her for his use, and to achieve a good story to buy the people and the lower classes.

But at this moment, everything is in vain, and Cheng Ziyu, who is a business girl, is obviously not qualified to stand so high.

And if this matter is raised today, it is very likely that it will be brought up again soon. Those guys are bound to have a new round of marriage proposals soon, and this matter cannot be delayed, and it must be settled as soon as possible.

The Emperor sighed.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Li Chun sipping a cup of tea, and his heartless appearance made the emperor can't help but bite his back molars. Father-in-law Yu is still persuading himself to share his worries, why is he so light-hearted?

"Li Chun!"

"The minister is here!"

"You say, how is the county lord of Jinxi?"

"Very good."

"Is it just good? That's it? ”

......He looked at the emperor, a little inexplicable. That's it. ”

"How about I give her to you?"

Li Chun's face froze.

"The emperor is not joking with his ministers." He coldly put the glass in his hand on the table. "You'd better keep it for yourself!"

"I can't keep it." The emperor raised his eyebrows, glanced at Father-in-law Yu, and then took a few steps in the direction of Li Chun, staring at Li Chun. "I suddenly feel that it is very good to give you Jinxi!"

Li Chun's aura suddenly turned cold.

"So many princes, as well as noble sons, are more suitable than ministers. The ministers did not dare to fight. ”

"Heh, hehe!" The Emperor stroked the beautifully trimmed goat's whiskers. To be honest, the more Li Chun retreated, the more he wanted to advance. The more Li Chun got to know each other, the more he wanted to give him more. The more cold Li Chun was, the more satisfied he became.

In the final analysis, the better Li Chun is in control, the more reassuring he is!

It's a pity that the emperor has calculated everything, but he can't count that Li Chun is grasping his psychology and playing tricks on him.

"The emperor's mind should be understood. You discussed this topic with your ministers earlier. ”

"This time it's different."

The Emperor sat down, tapped his fingers on the table, and thought for a long time. "I'm not laughing. You're a good fit, so you might as well consider it. ”

Li Chun did not answer immediately, still looked at the emperor lightly, slightly revealing a trace of reluctance and disappointment.

"Count it as if you helped me again! None of those princes can get this marriage. The prince can't, and neither can the fourth and fifth children!

It was I who missed, and I held her too high, and the name I gave away was too big, and it was self-defeating, and a bunch of people wanted to fight for it. It's too hard to dispose of her.

The queen and Concubine Zhao both said well, she can't be a concubine, so it's best not to follow the prince. But she represents the people, if she can't marry the prince, then she can't marry the fourth and fifth elders. Otherwise, she becomes a signal. A sign that I may remove the crown prince. I don't have that plan yet, so the situation in the DPRK and China is bound to be chaotic.

And it may not only be chaotic, but some people will rebel! So she can't marry any prince! Of course, this is only one of the reasons. ”

The emperor sat down in front of Li Chun and spoke earnestly.

"What's more, after Xue Jun's incident was concluded yesterday, she came back to find me. Do you know? She even has the ability to make military supplies. The sharp weapon she said is equivalent to a weapon! The lethality is huge, I'm interested, and she's confident.

If such a weapon is born, I will naturally hold it firmly in my hands! But I can't get it, but I can't let it fall into the hands of those, can I? They're all big, they have someone in their hands, and I can't let them break the balance. ”

Li Chunxin sneered.

In this world, who knows the emperor better than him?

Although the emperor wanted to choose a successor by letting the princes fight among themselves, it was not necessarily not to maintain the balance of power between the court and China.

The Great Zhou has been in good weather for decades, and it is not as troubled as when the great grandfather was there, so in order to protect the vitality of the court and prevent the excessive concentration of power, the way of balance is very important.

In fact, this is the reason why the eldest prince and the crown prince have been able to fight for more than ten years and are still evenly matched. Because this balance is exactly what he is looking for. But that's one of the reasons.

In fact, the emperor is even more afraid that he will be overthrown by a certain son! He was in good health, and he naturally hoped to continue to sit on the dragon chair for a long time.

Of course, these last two emperors would never admit it. But it was precisely these reasons that made the emperor condone his sons to fight...... And in fact, as long as he is alive, such a fight is his acquiescence!

"Therefore, I will never give the Lord of Jinxi to them! Naturally, killing her can be a hundred, but the queen mother likes her. Second, she is still useful, and third, she is gone as soon as she is canonized, which is not suitable. So instead of destroying her, it's better to make the best use of it. ”

The emperor reached out and patted Li Chun's shoulder.

"The combination of the civil county lord and the most promising pillar of the DPRK and China can be regarded as a good story. In the future, I will wait a few more years, and when you make some more meritorious deeds, I will give you a real knighthood, so that you can have no worries for a lifetime. I can make up for what I owe you in the past.

Cheng Ziyu is good-looking and has an industry, aren't you interested in her design? There is a common language. The two of you are moving and quiet, and you can live a harmonious life in the future. Of course, she is a businesswoman, too despicable, and she has indeed wronged you, but it doesn't matter, in the future, as long as you like whoever you like, which one you like, no matter which noble girl you have, I will give it to you! How is it? ”

Li Chun stared at the emperor directly, and the words did not come out, but the emperor understood.

The Emperor did not find him rude, but snorted.

"Yes, I did this, and most importantly, I was relieved to give her to you. She has the name of a good lord, has a big industry, represents the people, and can also make arms and military supplies for me, her value is too great. I really can't let go, but after thinking about it, only you are the most suitable.

Just take this opportunity, and you can increase the combat power of the manpower in your hands. And you can protect her and give her to you, not only do those cubs dare not say no, but it is the only way to ensure that she will be used by me for a long time. ”

Speaking of which, this last sentence is his point, right?

Li Chun picked up the tea bowl again, and the clouds were light and light.

"The emperor still doesn't worry about the ministers, right?"

"What are you talking about? How could I? I know that you are my most faithful courtier! ”

The two looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.

"Okay, I'm going to go!" Li Chun got up and knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" ”

He doesn't know, even if he is an orphan, the emperor will worry that he will be a master, so Cheng Ziyu's potato came just right.

Although he is the lord of the county, no one knows how much water there is? The emperor is so cautious, while giving grace, how can he forget to suppress? It was a chess piece prepared by him on a whim, how could he dominate the crowd? Cheng Ziyu's identity, if she really becomes the princess and concubine, the emperor will feel embarrassed, right?

Those princesses, which is not the most delicate golden branches and jade leaves. Even if it was just set by Lao Qi, it was also a princess of the country. In the future, let Cheng Ziyu be on an equal footing with them, which would be a loss of face for the emperor and the royal family.

In addition to the issue of identity, it also involves the issue of upbringing, and it involves the children and grandchildren of that line. What if the bad customs of the people are passed on? What if the nobility and fine traditions of the royal family are broken?

So the emperor regretted it. Since he can't get it, he will definitely not let her climb to the royal family. Li Chunyi chuckled, therefore, the seemingly noble "folk county lord" came just right, not only to test whether he dared to marry, whether he was willing to marry, whether he had any dissenting intentions, but also to prevent himself from marrying a certain noble girl in the future and expanding his power.

In the final analysis, the emperor is really relieved of the person, there is no one in this world! With power in his own hands, how can he not be afraid that he will rebel one day? What's more, there is still such a story on his own......

Therefore, he can only agree, and readily agree!

Let the emperor be proud for a while, and continue his many moves!

And I can only make it difficult for myself......

Li Chun knelt on the ground, and the emperor showed pity in his eyes and went to hold him with his own hands.

"You have been wronged. You have to believe that I have always trusted you the most! This will never change! ”

"Yes! The minister agreed, but also hoped that the emperor would answer the minister's request. ”

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it."

"The minister's marriage is left to the emperor. But after marrying the lord of Jinxi, the minister must be guaranteed that no one can interfere in the minister's private affairs. ”

"It's natural."

"In black and white, don't force me to take a concubine, don't let the noble daughter of any family make me a wife, etc., and don't embarrass me with my future heir."

“……”

"Ugly words ahead, I may not take a concubine." Li Chun's self-title was changed to "I", and his tone was a little pitiful and desolate, and gradually lowered. "When the time comes, no one can force me."

The Emperor sighed again.

"I know. I promise you. ”

"Nachen...... Thank you for your success! Li Chun kowtowed again, but this time the emperor put his hand under his forehead and then helped him up.

"I trust you, and you have to trust me."

Li Chun smiled and nodded. At this time, he naturally trusts himself.

"Then dare to ask the emperor, did you give the marriage, or did the minister ask for marriage? When is it going to happen? ”

"I can't put it off, and I can't give marriage, the sooner the better. Let's do it tonight! ”

"Yes! If nothing happens, the minister goes down. ”

"Go ahead, you've worked hard these days, have a good rest, and I'll send you some soup and tonic in a while."

Li Chun stepped down......

"What do you think?" The emperor was asking his father-in-law.

"The emperor is wise! That's the best. ”

"Once again, I owe him. I'm sorry for him! I promised before that I would not force him in marriage, but this time I ...... In the future, I can only take care of him elsewhere and compensate him a little more. Looking at his appearance, I am afraid that my complaints will be heavy again. ”

"Don't blame yourself, the past is an accident, not the emperor's responsibility. General Li knew in his heart that General Li's coldness was just due to nature. ”

"Yes, his temperament is the best for Da Zhou!"

"So, your Majesty, you should be happy. At least this time, General Lee was finally willing to marry. ”

"He misunderstood me again, thinking that I had forced him. In fact, I am also for his good! What kind of do you say he likes? That Jinxi is good, I am tempted, how can he still be like wood. ”

"The general will understand later. With one more person to take care of General Li, the emperor should rest assured. If you marry a wife, you will soon have a queen. The slave heard that the mother of the county lord of Jinxi was very capable of giving birth, and gave birth to a full four!

If it weren't for her father's frequent business outside, I'm afraid that she would have more children. The county lord of Jinxi is a capable person at first glance, and even if the general is a piece of wood, he will definitely turn into a finger twister. After marriage, it must soon be scattered, and ten or eight will be born to the general! Raise a large group of generals for the emperor and the Great Zhou! ”

"Hahaha!" The emperor was immediately happy, and knocked on the door of his father-in-law's head.

"Old thing, you're going to coax me! yes, I don't have to worry about him dying of the heir. That's right, even if he misunderstood me, I admit it! You will find the imperial doctor for a while, let me go to Jinxi Pulse, quickly raise it, and raise it for nothing. If there is any shortage of medicinal materials, they will be sent over. ”

"Slaves obey!"

"You have time to ask him what he wants, and then come and tell me. If I had asked him, he would have to behave like no desire and no desire. Go and help me persuade him! ”

"The minions understand. But there is one ...... How are you going to ...... tonight?"

"You see, he understands, but you still don't. It's a waste of all these years that you've been with me. ”

"The old slave is ashamed!"

"I'll arrange an opportunity to go down. Didn't you have a night party tonight? Tonight he couldn't hide from it, so he asked him to participate. In addition, I made another promise, and if I came out on top, I would receive a grace, and when he came out on top, he would come to me and ask me. ”

"Shall we help secretly?"

"Old thing! Too underestimate him! Do you think I raised him for nothing? He's so much better than those guys! Rest assured, as long as he does his best, he will be sure to be nine out of ten! ”

"Yes, it's the old slave who is confused."

"It's a pity, it's a pity that he's not my son......" When the emperor said this, Father-in-law Yu shrank aside and pretended to be dead......

Li Chun listened halfway inside and outside before walking out.

Good mood.

Finally, the plan is eighty percent complete!

He pursed his lips.

He couldn't fight with Cheng Ziyu, so it was impossible for them to ask for marriage. If you ask for it, you will not only be defeated, but you will also spoil a great thing. He is not afraid of arousing suspicion, but he is afraid that she will not be able to bear it.

So if he wants to get her, the best way is for the emperor to take the initiative to give people to him. And what the emperor did yesterday was exactly what he did.

Only then did he plan to use Zhu Changan and the Empress and others. As long as the princes came forward to ask for marriage earlier, the emperor must have no choice but to give up.

Of course, even if the princes were not fooled, he had already made other preparations. He will arrange for people to spread the news that the princes intend to marry Cheng Ziyu, and when the rumors are overwhelming, the emperor will have no choice but to give up.

Prepare both hands to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

No one understands the emperor's temperament better than him, and he doesn't talk about anything else, as long as it involves weapons, Cheng Ziyu will never be allowed to the princes.

And who else is there?

Half of the emperor's personal soldiers are held in his own hands, and who else can the emperor give weapons to besides himself? After all, he is his "most trusted person"!

Moreover, the Cheng family has become an imperial merchant again, and the pointed object proposed a few days ago can make a lot of money at a glance, and the emperor naturally has to keep Cheng Ziyu under his nose.

So no matter what level, he is the most suitable individual for "sacrifice" around the emperor.
