Chapter 30 Follow the Trend
Hearing Xu Jinrou say that she really wanted Princess Zhao to be the third envoy, Fang Ruo was very surprised.
"Princess, if you really let Princess Zhao be the third secretary, then she may change the rules you set before and make a mess of the third division."
Xu Jinrou smiled and nodded, "Come to think of it, in order to get the land of the iron mine, Princess Zhao was willing to use her body to please that minion, it can be seen that she is unscrupulous in order to achieve her goals, if she is given the opportunity to be the third envoy, she will definitely find a way to change the many restrictions and regulations set before on mining." ”
"Princess, what do you mean... Is that what you want her to do? Fang Ruo's face was puzzled, "At the beginning, you had to change the previous mining rules with great difficulty, and now..."
Xu Jinrou's expression was calm, "That's right, I just want to overturn and change the mining rules I proposed, but this matter can't be done by me, otherwise it will definitely attract suspicions from all parties, especially the queen's attention to this matter, and some things I want to do in the future will not go well, and now I have this opportunity, and it is most appropriate to hand it over to Princess Zhao to do this." ”
With the experience of the previous life, Xu Jinrou clearly knows the specific location of many mineral resources in the Great Chu Kingdom, and in this life, she must control these minerals in her hands, and cannot let them fall into the pocket of the Song royal family, so as to pave the way for her revenge and rejuvenation.
In this life, she has not been reborn when she proposes to formulate new mining policies, and when she is reborn, she finds that these new policies limit her future plans, and if she changes it back, it will inevitably make people suspect what her intentions are, but if Princess Zhao changes it, then she can justifiably act according to the rules, and no one can say a word.
"Well..., the princess is relieved to know the slaves and maids, but can Princess Zhao be the third envoy? It's a thankless errand, and she might not be willing to do it? "Fang Ruo in the previous life had constant problems, and this life has not changed in the slightest.
Xu Jinrou was very willing to ask Fang Ruo, so when she answered her, it was the time to sort out the plans in her heart.
"What I just said in Jinghua Palace must have let Princess Zhao know how much power the three divisions have in the matter of mining, and how important the three divisions make this position is.
She should be thinking about what to do now in her heart so that she doesn't have to share the profits from the iron ore to Liu Rentu, for example, after an iron mine is distributed to Liu Rentu, she will go to the iron mine that the slave knows, but in this way, she is afraid that the mineral will be discovered by others, so she will take the lead.
"Well..., Princess Zhao will definitely think so, so will she want you to help, Princess? You have just reminded you that as the third division, you have the right to decide which iron ore to give to Liu Rentu. Fang Ruo's eyes were slender, and now they were full of question marks.
"She naturally thinks so, but she is unwilling to come to me, because she senses that my behavior is changing, and she is afraid of being calculated by me."
Fang Ruo suddenly realized, "Oh, the slave maid understands, the queen thinks that Princess Zhao can speak in front of Liu Rentu now, because the King of Jin was arrested in the city patrol division, the queen will let her beg Liu Rentu, she can naturally think of taking this opportunity to make a request, take your place, and she will be the third envoy." ”
The corners of Xu Jinrou's mouth rose, "Yes, she will also tell the queen and even make a promise, saying that she can get silver to relieve the tension in the palace." ”
Fang Ruo nodded, "The queen is resentful of the princess because of the matter of King Jin, and there is a good chance that Princess Zhao will agree to this request." ”
Xu Jinrou shook her head slightly, "It's not nine times out of ten, I will definitely agree, I can be sure." ”
"Then you don't plan to be a third envoy in the future?"
"Whether I want to do it or not, it won't be long before the queen comes to beg me to do it again." Saying that, Xu Jinrou thumped her waist with her backhand.
Seeing this, Fang Ruo immediately came to Xu Jinrou deftly and gently massaged her.
Xu Jinrou continued: "Soon the queen will know that Princess Zhao alone can't save King Zhao, let alone King Jin, and the three divisions will be a mess in her hands, and she won't be able to get enough money to improve the situation, so she will come to me again or make a decree for me to do." ”
"Where's the iron mine?" Fang Ruo continued to press while asking, her hand was right, and Xu Jinrou felt that her waist was much more comfortable.
"The iron ore in Tianzhu Mountain will naturally not fall into the hands of Princess Zhao, and when she changes the mining regulations, I can send someone to mine it justifiably."
"Princess, how do you know that the iron ore is in Tianzhu Mountain?"
"I have the power of a prophet of the unknown."
"Princess, you tease me,..."
Xiao Xuanzi came to report, just now the queen urgently summoned Princess Zhao to Tianshou Palace, Xu Jinrou and Fang Ruo looked at each other and smiled.
I haven't heard the news that Wan Niang and the child were brought into the palace, and in the afternoon, when Xu Jinrou was sleeping, the queen sent a decree announcing her audience.
Xu Jinrou got up lazily and let Fang Ruo accompany her to Tianshou Palace.
Seeing Xu Jinrou, the queen did not show any abnormality, she gave the seat as usual, and ordered the grandmother next to her to bring refreshments.
Xu Jinrou didn't dare to move, she was afraid that the symptoms of vomiting would make the queen suspicious.
The queen took a sip of tea gently, and then opened her mouth without hurrying.
"Jin Rou, for the revival of my Da Chu, in order to save King Zhao from prison, this period of time is really hard for you."
"Thank you for your concern, these are what concubines should do."
Xu Jinrou spoke respectfully and humbly.
"Last time your proposal was good, Princess Zhao is indeed more suitable than you to approach Liu Rentu, I heard that it is not easy for you to see Liu Rentu now, it was really difficult for you before." The queen's eyes were fixed on Xu Jinrou.
"Fortunately, the last time I was in the Marshal's Mansion, I saw Liu Rentu and talked to him."
"Ahem..., for the sake of Yuzhi, don't mention the matter of the Marshal's Mansion last time." The queen frowned slightly.
Xu Jinrou hurriedly stood up, "The concubine didn't mean to mention it, please don't blame the queen mother." ”
"Sit down, the mourners know you didn't mean to." The cruelty in the queen's eyes flashed.
Xu Jinrou sat down lightly with some trepidation.
"I remember the day before yesterday you mentioned that someone pretended to be the King of Jin, you can look at that person carefully, is it really like the King of Jin?" The queen picked up the teacup as she asked, and seemed to be careless.
"Well..., the concubine looked carefully, that person did look a little similar to the King of Jin, but..., actually..., the concubine had only seen the King of Jin, and the candle flame was flickering that night, and the King of Jin rushed to the barracks before they could talk a few words." Xu Jinrou said cautiously, honestly afraid.
"The concubine dreams back at midnight, and often dreams that the king of Jin returns to his home, and confides in me his heart, and the feelings of longing make the concubine unable to help herself, and the tears wet the bed, it is indeed always the night when I first saw him." After saying that, Xu Jinrou sobbed again.
The queen stared at Xu Jinrou, seeing that she was sincere in what she said, and she couldn't see the fakeness, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "Hey, the mourning family really hopes that my poor Heng'er is not dead, and the news from the battlefield is just wrong." ”
Xu Jinrou sobbed, "Why don't you want to think about it, when I saw that villain pretending to be King Jin, the concubine was almost deceived by him, but it's really impossible to think about it, it's been so long, if the news is wrong, King Jin should have come back a long time ago." The concubine will never forget her husband's words when he left, he said that he would let the concubine wait for him, and he would come back to accompany the concubine no matter what. ”
The queen's face was a little unnatural, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Jinrou, don't mention the sad thing, since the truce between Da Chu and Ximan, you have worked hard and tirelessly, and the mourning family can't bear to look at it, thinking that you can rest and take care of your body." ”
Xu Jinrou got up, "Queen Mother Shengming, since the concubine was in charge of the three divisions, she did feel physically and mentally exhausted, if she could rest for a while, she really couldn't ask for it." ”
Hearing Xu Jinrou say this, the queen was stunned, her eyes flashed, and she pondered quietly for a moment, unable to think of any other intentions of Xu Jinrou.
"Jinrou, in this case, you can put aside the affairs of the three divisions for the time being, and the mourning family will appoint others to take care of it, and when your physical cultivation is almost complete, you will consider other things as appropriate."
Xu Jinrou's face was overjoyed, and she bowed, "In this way, the concubine will thank the queen mother." ”
Xu Jinrou's cheerful attitude made the queen hesitate a little, "Well..., the mourning family wants Wen Jing to temporarily take charge of the third division first, and the unfinished matters in your hands can be handed over to her." ”
"Oh, it turned out that Princess Zhao took over the Third Division." Xu Jinrou looked a little surprised, and then smiled again, "Also, now that Liu Rentu is in love with her, they complement each other, and she is indeed the right person to be in charge of the three divisions." ”
"Jinrou, if you have any doubts, you can also mention it to the mourning family, after all, Wen Jing's close proximity to Liu Rentu is also your recommendation." When he said this, he had a bit of schadenfreude to the queen.
"The concubine has no doubts, everything is up to the queen mother."
"Okay, today and tomorrow, you can go to the third division to explain the matter, since I already want you to rest, let's do it as soon as possible."
Xu Jinrou saluted again, "The concubine obeys the order of the queen mother. ”
Out of Tianshou Palace and seeing that there was no one left and right, Fang Ruo approached Xu Jinrou, "Princess, thanks to your deliberate doing, otherwise you would have been really used as a gun by the queen, and after using it, you would be impatient to abandon it, which is chilling to think about." ”
Xu Jinrou let out a breath of turbidity, "It's easy to do if you understand it, I'm most afraid that I won't understand it, and I will be really aggrieved by them." ”
In the last life, she didn't understand the true face of Queen Xiang, she only thought about filial piety and loyalty, and she was called like a dog, and she couldn't get any good, and the queen secretly made arrangements, so that she ended up so miserable, every time she thought about it, Xu Jinrou's revenge in this life was high.
Although Xu Jinrou was tired, she still left the palace with Fangruo, and still left the palace in a carriage driven by the coachman Chen Qing.
The coachman Chen Qing was less than thirty years old, he was a eunuch or a mute, he was originally only responsible for raising horses in the palace, and once the crown prince Song Feng went to ride a horse.
Song Feng ignored Chen Qing's obstruction and chose the fiercest horse to ride, but fell to the ground.
Song Feng immediately ordered Chen Qing's tongue to be cut off, punished him for the crime of not being reminded, and then ordered to be beaten to death with a stick, it was Xu Jinrou who saved Chen Qing's life on the grounds that there are few young and middle-aged people in Dachu now.
At that time, Xu Jinrou was in charge of the palace, so she transferred Chen Qing to be a coachman to transport the things needed in the palace.
Later, Xu Jinrou's errand was withdrawn by the queen, worried that Chen Qing would be killed by Song Feng when he went back to raise horses, so Xu Jinrou asked Chen Qing to be a special coachman when he entered and exited the palace.
The experience of the previous life let Xu Jinrou know that Chen Qing was very loyal to her, and until he died of illness, he never let outsiders inquire about Xu Jinrou from him, so he could trust and do things without avoiding him.
When she passed by the inn, Qingluan got into the car, and she told Xu Jinrou that the queen had found Wanniang.
