Chapter 51: King Zhennan
"That's right."
Zhao Feng continued to speak, "The task of purchasing white vinegar is also handed over to you, and after the purchase is returned, it will be sold in small bottles, and this matter must not leak the news, otherwise it will cut off my financial route." ”
"Yes!"
Xiao Yunzi immediately responded.
On the second day, an "invisible potion" immediately swept the entire capital, and for a time the supply exceeded demand, and those rich people who pursued freshness rushed to buy it, and it is said that it was once auctioned at a sky-high price.
"Invisibility potion?"
This matter even spread to the palace, and Chu Qingqing was also quite surprised by this,
"Is there such a thing in this world? Can you make the traces invisible and reappear again? ”
Seeing Chu Qingqing ask about this, Zhao Feng smiled dumbly, but he didn't intend to tell her the truth.
After all, if Chu Qingqing didn't approve of his opportunistic behavior, he was afraid that it would cause disagreement.
"It's just folk rumors, Your Majesty can believe it for half a cent."
Zhao Feng opened his mouth and said, "But compared to these rumors, what has Your Majesty learned recently?" ”
The experience he asked about was naturally about the situation in the imperial court.
Seeing Zhao Feng asking about business, Chu Qingqing's expression also became a little more serious, compared to her who was ignorant and slightly cowardly at the beginning, now under the guidance of Yuling and Zhao Feng, she can already be independent.
She also has her own opinions on the situation in the imperial court.
"Right now, with the assistance of Otomo, the 100,000 soldiers of the Imperial City Forbidden Army have been taken into our hands."
Chu Qingqing opened his mouth and said, "The courtiers in the court have basically been replaced by the students trained by Sun Taifu, and they can be regarded as our secret forces. ”
"The strength of the two parties of the Queen Mother and Fan Shicheng has been greatly weakened, but the situation is still not optimistic."
"Oh?"
Zhao Feng raised his eyebrows, "What does Your Majesty think is not optimistic?" ”
"One is the deficit of the treasury."
Chu Qingqing's expression was slightly worried, "Once the two parties with the Empress Dowager Fan Shicheng tear their faces, they will inevitably provoke a war, and if we don't have enough money to support it, I'm afraid we will lose without a fight." ”
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this."
Zhao Feng smiled, "This matter has already been solved by the minions, as for how to solve it...... I can't tell Your Majesty about this for the time being, but Your Majesty can rest assured that the minions must be for Your Majesty's good. ”
Looking at him with such a mysterious appearance, Chu Qingqing was a little helpless.
However, out of absolute trust in Zhao Feng, since he said so, Chu Qingqing naturally wouldn't ask.
"There's another side."
She continued to speak, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face, "Big companion...... You should also know about King Zhennan, right? ”
King Zhennan?
Zhao Feng frowned, he vaguely remembered in his memory that King Zhennan was the younger brother of the first emperor, and he had been guarding the frontier since the death of the first emperor, except for these, he didn't have much of an impression.
Looking at Zhao Feng's slightly puzzled expression, Chu Qingqing sighed helplessly.
"It's normal that you don't know about this, after all...... It's not a decent thing either. ”
Chu Qingqing's expression was subtle,
"I also saw it when I was a child, I should have called the king of Zhennan to call the emperor's uncle, the emperor's uncle is the younger brother of his father's mother's compatriots, and his father's emperor also has special trust in him."
"Therefore, the imperial uncle can be regarded as coming and going freely in the palace, but one day, I saw him having a private meeting with the queen mother......"
Zhao Feng was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, the Queen Mother had an affair with the younger brother of the former emperor?!
"At that time, I was still young, and I didn't understand the relationship between these men and women, but I didn't care, I just thought it was a little strange that this imperial uncle often visited the Queen Mother."
Chu Qingqing sighed and continued, "But after I ascended the throne, she was not there when I went to Cining Palace to find the Queen Mother one day, so I was bored and walked around, and I found a letter sent back from the frontier by the imperial uncle. ”
"His words are extremely explicit, and after reading that letter, I also understand why the imperial uncle used to come to Cining Palace so often, so I thought that if I really want to return to power and defeat the queen mother and Fan Shicheng, I am afraid that I will have to pass the imperial uncle's pass."
Hearing this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but gasp.
I didn't think that the Queen Mother would have such a big backstage!
He originally thought that Fan Shicheng was the biggest enemy, but he didn't expect it to be the Queen Mother!
"How many people know about this?"
Zhao Feng frowned and asked, but Chu Qingqing shook his head, "I'm afraid only the people close to the Queen Mother know, after all, if this kind of thing is known by others, but if you want to lose your head, I only found out by accident." ”
Zhao Feng was still a little shocked by this matter.
I thought it would be enough to raise a few noodles at most, but I didn't expect to have this relationship with King Zhennan.
"King of Zhennan......"
Zhao Feng thought for a moment, "Only the slave will find a way to deal with this matter, Your Majesty is just too worried, just focus on dealing with the things in the court now." ”
"Then I'm bothering you."
Chu Qingqing was also full of sadness when he mentioned this, "I, the imperial uncle, am not an easy character to deal with. ”
Zhao Feng didn't know much about this Zhennan King from the memory of the original owner, and he only knew that he was the younger brother of the former emperor and had a lot of military power in his hands, and Zhao Feng really didn't know what kind of person he was.
Let's ask someone.
"King Zhennan?"
Xiao Yunzi was slightly surprised when he saw Zhao Feng asking about this person,
"The king of Zhennan is our Majesty's imperial uncle, and now he guards the frontier and returns to Beijing once every two years to report on his work, and he will come back at the end of this year."
"At the end of the year?"
Zhao Feng was shocked, now it is already the middle of the year, and there are not a few months left until the end of the year, if the king of Zhennan Chongguan is angry at the end of the year and leads troops to fight for Hongyan, then the matter will be a little troublesome.
"How many troops does this Zhennan King have in his hands?"
Zhao Feng then asked, Xiao Yunzi thought for a while,
"I don't know the specific number of minions, but there must be hundreds of thousands, the first emperor trusted the king of Zhennan very much, and almost half of the military power of our Great Wilderness Dynasty was in his hands."
Hearing such an answer, Zhao Feng couldn't help but gasp.
Unexpectedly, this Zhennan King was even more tricky than he imagined.
In that case, their progress will have to be slightly accelerated.
Exactly as Zhao Feng expected, the "Invisible Potion" he developed was quite popular in the capital, and in just a few days, it sold an astonishing amount.
"Mr. Zhao! We've sold about 8,000 bottles of potions in the past three days! ”
Xiao Yunzi excitedly took the account book and reported to Zhao Feng,
"If you don't count the cost, we earned 800,000 taels of silver in three days! That's a full 800,000 taels of silver! ”
