Hearing that the old man mentioned Xiaoyao Hou again, Zhou Bei understood a little.

Zhengde obviously has a complete plan for himself, and his ability needs to be exposed, but the matter of crossing cannot be mentioned.

A scientific and technological pioneer like Xiaoyaohou, who can change the world by himself, is the best cover for Zhou Bei.

Zhou Bei also has the ability to "innovate", and his knowledge is stronger than ordinary people, even in front of researchers, he can't leak the bottom.

Zhou Bei also thinks it is very suitable, scientific and technological research is the easiest industry to improve social status, as long as he can innovate, the society will be raised higher, and it will not cause dissatisfaction with public opinion.

This old man was wearing an ordinary robe, Zhou Bei didn't know the identity of the other party, but he could find himself among the nearly a billion people in the Ming Dynasty, so naturally it was not as harmless as he appeared.

He hurriedly bowed respectfully and hugged his fists and said: "Don't dare to be an adult, how dare the kid compare with the Marquis of Xiaoyao, I just hope to be loyal to the king and serve the country, worthy of this life." ”

He smiled, raised his hand and said, "Sit, sit, Sushang Palace, I sat all afternoon, and no one brought tea and water, so let people send tea and water." ”

Hearing the old man say Su Shang Palace, Zhou Bei understood that this middle-aged woman was Su Xiu, one of the most powerful women in the Ming Dynasty.

She is one of the chief managers of the royal family, and her responsibility is to deal with the affairs of foreign courts, which is much more powerful than those Shang Gong who manage meals and clothes in the palace.

Don't say that compared with female officials, even the entire royal family, the entire Ming Dynasty, there are few women who can have more power than her.

Soon, the palace maids brought a pot of tea and gave Zhou Bei a cup of clean water.

Zhou Bei got up and drank it all, and then raised his glass. "One more drink."

Su Shanggong couldn't help laughing, motioned to the palace maid to bring another pot, and personally poured a cup for Zhou Bei.

Zhou Bei said respectfully: "Thank you, Shanggong." ”

She smiled, didn't say anything, just nodded.

She has seen too many people in her life, and she doesn't know how many excellent ones, some of Zhou Bei's small actions and mentality, she can also guess one or two.

But the emperor and the boss tried their best for him, a young man, especially the emperor was overjoyed that he gave a large sum of money for him this time, and it also made her know that there was a reason behind it.

This time, the Ming Dynasty mobilized nearly 100,000 people from the Zhongzhou Northeast Military Region, the Northern Naval Region, and the Dongzhou Military Region, consuming at least 200,000.

Combined with the rewards, the amount is almost a million credits.

But the stingy emperor not only did not feel distressed, but also happy, which is enough to prove that the value of Zhou Bei is far more than one million.

She didn't know anything about the inside story, so she could only observe it first.

The palace maid retreated, and the old man asked Zhengde beside him, "Has your wish ever been fulfilled?" ”

Zhengde smiled and nodded. "Far beyond my expectations, even more surprised."

The old man nodded. "Then let's follow the plan, a genius like Brother Zhou can't be slack."

Zhou Bei was sitting precariously, and he didn't dare to open his mouth without asking.

Although he has stronger abilities than ordinary people, none of the three people here are weak, and he can only be a grandson obediently.

Zhengde glanced at him and said to Su Shanggong: "Su Shanggong, the proposed purpose." ”

Su Shanggong lowered his body and took out a fountain pen and a hardcover paper from the drawer in front of him.

She nodded to Zhengde, and Zhengde said: "I want to use Zhou Zaiheng's invention of four-axis power transmission and differential system power improvement as the reason for Zhou Zaiheng's invention of the four-axis power transmission and the improvement of the differential system. ”

He turned his head to look at Zhou Bei and asked, "Your Zhou family's original hometown is in Dangtu County, Danyang Town, and Yunshan Village, Taiping Mansion, right?" ”

Zhou Bei nodded and said: "Due to the development of the Iron Mountain by the imperial court, the original village was moved to the foot of Yuntai Mountain in the northeast of Danyang Town, not far from Yingtianfu. ”

"The title of the imperial court, if it is in Zhongzhou, now there is no tax-free field, only a small courtyard in Yingtianfu. Tax-free fields can be selected in the north of Zhongzhou and other continents, or they can be given another courtyard. What choice do you want to make? ”

Zhou Bei smiled and said, "Boy, listen to Your Majesty." ”

He smiled and said: "Your parents and family have also migrated back to Zhongzhou, and the whole family lives on work and does not depend on the land, so I will give you a separate courtyard in Tangchi Hot Spring." ”

Zhou Bei got up and bowed down and clenched his fists. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He also said: "Don't think that my title is too low, you must always plan for the long term, and you can't be sealed in the future......

Zhou Bei changed his words and said: "Weichen understands. ”

Zhengde laughed, turned his head and said to the boss: "He's a smart man." ”

"With peerless power, of course, it is impossible to be foolish. Congratulations, Your Majesty. ”

Zhengde was noncommittal, turned his head and said to Zhou Bei: "If you want a knighthood, I can give it to you at any time, but you still need to work hard for your own official position." What more could you ask for? ”

Zhou Bei said solemnly: "Weichen wants to ask Yu Youwei, the daughter of the lord of Lihua, to be his wife. ”

Originally, it was just a small request to Zhengde, but Zhengde was stunned and there he was.

Immediately, he stood up angrily and asked, "Has Commander Li ever told you about my intentions?" ”

"Yes." Although Zhou Bei was worried, he was not afraid. "Weichen knows that the fourth princess is cold and noble, she is a royal treasure, and she is a peerless beauty of the Ming Dynasty, but Weichen has liked Yu Youwei since she was a child, and she hopes that Your Majesty will fulfill it."

"It's an amorous seed, since I know that I want to choose you as a colt, why do you insist on going your own way?"

Zhou Bei didn't dare to raise his head, and replied: "Weichen also wants to listen to His Majesty, but he can't get over it." Is Your Majesty willing to see that Weichen is a person who is cold and lucky, and is he a person who is in the twilight of the day? ”

Zhengde suddenly became a little dumbfounded, sat down angrily, and asked, "Does the boss have a good plan?" ”

The old man stroked his beard and couldn't help but shake his head. "If it's someone else, it's a big deal to give it to this kid together, but according to the seniority, the county lord of Lihua is one generation higher than you, and the Yu family is one generation higher than the princess, so it's difficult to ......."

Su Shanggong was also a little surprised when he knew that His Majesty wanted to choose Zhou Zaiheng as his concubine.

Seeing Zhengde looking over, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Since the founding of the royal family, there have been nine generations, many grandparents are children, and grandchildren are old people.

Although Xue Wangfu is also a descendant of Gaozu, His Majesty's generation is about to produce five suits, and the princess has already come out. What's more, this Yu's surname is Yu, and his surname is not Zhu, so don't mention this aunt and nephew.

The minister was only worried that the fourth princess was arrogant, if she knew Zhou ...... Yun Shanbo has a heart, and I am afraid that he will be unwilling. ”

Indeed, marriage is not enmity, if marriage gives a couple of resentful couples, it will be counterproductive.

Zhengde stared at Zhou Bei fiercely, but it was not hatred, but the kind of sigh that hated iron but not steel. "You bastard, you really don't know how to lift."

Zhou Bei saw his attitude clearly, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, Weichen will present a strange treasure to His Majesty to ensure that His Majesty will be relieved." ”

Zhengde nodded, naturally knowing that he was talking about the treasure in the space.

But Li Yuan and Su Shanggong thought that Zhou Bei had some invention, and they didn't care.

Su Shanggong asked, "Your Majesty, how should this holy decree be formulated?" ”

Zhengde had a headache and said: "I originally wanted to give him the Mafang Gaozu Mansion, and the hot spring annex also relies on the royal annex, and if I contribute in the future, I will marry the princess to him naturally." Now it seems that we have to think about it......

Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow, let's go eat first. By the way, let him think about it alone at night, and don't let people disturb him. Tomorrow the next court will bring him into the palace. ”

Although this sentence was said to the boss, Zhou Bei knew that it was aimed at himself, and he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Is this to put yourself under house arrest and not allow yourself to see your mother?

This emperor looks wise and martial, but he is so stingy?

The old man trembled and smiled: "I want to teach you a good lesson, and even Your Majesty dares to disobey." ”

The two of them got up and left first, and Zhou Bei could only follow behind and listen to the two of them make fun of themselves.

When eating, Zhou Bei found that he was sitting on four rice buckets.

He didn't eat enough at noon, and the food in the palace was fragrant, and he didn't control himself, gobbling it up.

But whether it is the emperor, or the old man who looks like he is about to enter the ground, or the Su Shanggong who looks thin, they are all big-bellied men.

A large table of dishes, as well as a bucket of rice, was eaten clean by several people.

During the banquet, Zhengde had been thoughtful, obviously recalling the many information that Zhou Bei told him in the afternoon.

He didn't speak, and no one spoke, and the dinner was quickly over.

At this time, Zhengde confessed: "The boss will send you to rest, tomorrow at lunch, come to accompany me for lunch, I still have a lot to say to you." ”

"Wechen knows."

"Minister, the holy decree has not been issued, you are still a civilian!"

After speaking, he waved his sleeves, turned around and left.

Su Shanggong gave him a smile and followed Zhengde away.

A group of palace maids came to clean up, and the female official in her thirties who received him first came over with four palace maids and led him out of the palace with the boss.

The street lamps in the palace are bright, and each street lamp is meticulously carved and very chic.

Zhou Bei stretched out his hand to support the old man who was about to go down the steps, and asked embarrassedly: "Your Majesty has never said it explicitly, and the kid doesn't dare to say much, may I ask what the boss is called?" ”

The old man laughed and said, "Dog Li Ji." ”

Zhou Bei was shocked, and his body, which had been slackened, suddenly tensed. "I don't know if the left arm of Gaozu is here, please forgive your sins."

Li Yuan is the son of a princess, although his father is the commander of Jinyiwei, he is the commander of Jinyiwei, and his son is also the commander of Jinyiwei.

But he is different from his father and son, who are outstanding, he does not love authority, and throughout his life, except for a brief time when his father died, he followed Gaozu all his life.

When he was young, he worked as a driver and a guard for Gaozu, and he never got involved in national affairs, but he was the most trusted by Gaozu.

He and Yang Zhihe, who is currently the military governor of Dongzhou, are known as the right-hand man of Emperor Gaozu.

Zhou Bei finally understood why his own affairs were discovered by him, because he was the only one who could mobilize the power of Jinyiwei and other intelligence agencies.

Not only did he not refuse Zhou Bei's support, but he also leaned all his strength on Zhou Bei's arm. "When you're old, it's up to you young people in the future."
