Chapter 1959 My Queen
It was Zhao Rao's intention to let Zhao Ning come to Qi State. She just wanted to prove to the courtiers that even though she was the queen now, her relationship with her sisters was not estranged and she would treat all her brothers and sisters well.
Cheng Zheng agreed with her approach and personally arranged for Zhao Ning and the others to live in the princess mansion. Three months ago, Zhao Ning learned that she was pregnant. She originally wanted to keep them longer, but Mo Rong Yi insisted on returning to the Kingdom of Jin, but she didn't say anything and even rewarded him with many things. If it weren't for Zhao Xiang, she wouldn't have known that Zhao Ning didn't go back at all.
Zhao Rao took a deep breath, "Tell me, why is this?"
"For Qi State." Cheng Zheng said solemnly, "Morong Zhan's disappearance is an opportunity for our Qi State."
"What opportunity? Do you think I can't bring the people of Qi a life of peace and contentment?" Zhao Rao asked.
Cheng Zheng said, "That's not what I meant. If Merongyi becomes the emperor, we and the Jin Kingdom can coexist peacefully and will not be invaded by the Yuan Kingdom in the future."
"Are you worried that Murong Ke doesn't want to become an ally with us?" Zhao Rao asked doubtfully.
"Murong Ke could become the new emperor after Murong Zhan disappeared, and if he could make Murong Yi become the King of Xian, you should know what kind of person he is, and the Yuan Kingdom... Ye Zhen also disappeared, although he has not supported the new emperor so far. The emperor, but he will definitely replace Tianfei as the emperor. I have contacted Shui Yichen several times. He is an ambitious man and is definitely more difficult to deal with than Murong Ke." Cheng Zheng said, "We need Jin Kingdom Only by forming an alliance can we deal with the Yuan Kingdom."
Zhao Rao gradually calmed down. She knew that since Zhao Yong's death, Qi State was no longer the strongest country. Especially her seizure of power had a great influence on Qi State. She also wanted to return to its previous strength. , but this cannot be accomplished in one or two days.
"Even so, you shouldn't treat Zhao Ning like this." Zhao Rao said in a low voice.
"If Zhao Ning is not kept, Murong Yi will not agree." Cheng Zheng shook his head lightly, "Only in this way will Murong Yi contact Morong Zhan's old subordinates to truly take away Murong Ke's throne. "
Zhao Rao glared at him, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I told you, you can't be cruel." Cheng Zheng said lightly, "I originally left Zhao Ning at Cheng's house, but someone took her away."
"Did Morongyi come back to save him?" Zhao Rao asked.
"Impossible!" Cheng Zheng shook his head, "I sent people to keep an eye on Mo Rongyi personally. He has returned to Jin Kingdom and there is no way he will come back to save Zhao Ning."
Zhao Rao didn't like Cheng Zheng's approach, but he knew in his heart that he was doing it for Qi State and for her. "Who else in the imperial capital will help Zhao Ning?"
Cheng Zheng pondered for a moment, "The former emperor's old ministers, they are the only ones who can help Zhao Ning."
"How did they know you had Ning'er under house arrest?" Zhao Rao asked.
This is what Cheng Zheng couldn't figure out, "Find Zhao Ning first."
"Cheng Zheng, no matter what you do, you can't hurt Ning'er." Zhao Rao said, "She is my sister... I don't want to be thought by future generations as having no humanity at all."
"No." Cheng Zheng said with a smile. Even if he was considered inhumane, he was just scolding her and had nothing to do with her.
This is the reason why he wants to hide her. In the future, people will only say that he is ruthless and will not implicate her.
Zhao Rao looked at Cheng Zheng for a while, then hugged his neck, "If I had known, I wouldn't be the emperor anymore. I'm just too tired."
"Hold on a little longer." Cheng Zheng whispered, "You'll get better soon."
"I hope so." Zhao Rao sighed, "But, you haven't found Ning'er after searching for several days. Could it be that she has left the imperial capital?"
Cheng Zheng's eyes were slightly cold, "No, we will always find her."
Zhao Ning is pregnant and has a child with her. She won't be able to hide for long, and she will be discovered sooner or later.
"What if Mo Rongyi doesn't do what you said?" Zhao Rao asked again. Today Zhao Xiang came to question her, and she answered so resolutely, "Xian'er suspected that I put Ning'er under house arrest and wanted me to let her go today. To meet Ning'er."
"How did Zhao Xiang know?" Cheng Zheng frowned. He hid Zhao Ning in the Cheng family, and almost no one knew about it.
"She said she found Merongyi returning to Jin Kingdom alone." Zhao Rao said.
Cheng Zheng nodded lightly, "If Mo Rongyi doesn't do what I arranged in the end, or what he is asked to do is not done, I will still send Zhao Ning back to Jin Kingdom and will not harm their mother and son. My queen, Is this okay?"
Zhao Rao raised a smile and said, "Okay."
"Is there anything bothering you in the court today?" He didn't go to the morning court today because he had something to do. When he dared to return to the city, he heard that Zhao Rao had been looking for him, and he guessed that it must be related to what happened in the court.
"No, that's not what they said." Zhao Rao said disgustedly, "They think I am a girl and don't understand, and they always want to fool me."
Cheng Zheng picked up a memorial and read it, "Do you think you punished Yao Shiming too harshly? You are trying to oppose my punishment order."
The reason why Qi State has shown signs of decline in recent years is mainly because there are too many corrupt officials. However, the court's punishment of corrupt officials is not enough. The punishment order proposed by Cheng Zheng can not only punish the officials who accepted bribes, but also those who were behind the scenes. Giving gifts was also punished. After this punishment order came out, many officials became even more dissatisfied with Cheng Zheng.
"I think this punishment order is quite good. At least the treasury will no longer be empty." Ye Zhen said.
"Any new government decree will be difficult at the beginning, but it will get better later." Cheng Zheng reassured.
Zhao Rao nodded, "I know, by the way, is there any news from Merongyi?"
"He has returned to Jin Kingdom. It depends on what he plans to do next." Cheng Zheng said softly. He looked down on Mo Rongyi a little and gave in too easily. If such an emperor ascends the throne in Jin Kingdom, then He could completely hold Murong Yi in his hands.
Unfortunately, Murong Ke and Murong Zhan are both old foxes, so he has to deal with them carefully.
"What if Murong Zhan and the others come back in the future..." Ye Zhen frowned, and she still can't figure out how Murong Zhan and Ye Zhen just disappeared.
"Even if he comes back, what can he do?" Cheng Zheng sneered, "He is no longer a threat."
Zhao Rao looked at the sky outside. She pushed Cheng Zheng's shoulder, "Go find Mingyu quickly. She is still pregnant with the child. You can't just go around and take it."
"Okay, I'll go find him right away, okay?" Cheng Zheng smiled and pinched the tip of Zhao Rao's nose.
Zhao Rao said, "The people that the late emperor believed in most were Dai Shi, Gu Yuexian and Song Hongao. Maybe you can check them out."
Cheng Zheng smiled slightly, "Yeah."
