Chapter 958 Compensation

In the government hall, there was only the emperor, and the prince was not there. Eunuch Liu withdrew. After Zhou Shuren saw the ceremony, he glanced at the messy papers on the table, and his heart sank. The emperor's mood was not beautiful!

The emperor signaled Zhou Shuren to sit down, "Have you met King Qi and King Chu in succession for the past few days?"

When Zhou Shuren heard it, the emperor was indeed the most suspicious person. King Qi had many ulterior motives. If King Qi came a few more times, he might lose his trust in the emperor. He admitted generously: "Yes, King Qi told the minister, It’s not that he sent someone to assassinate, but also implied that the king of Qi knew who did it, and the king of Qi invited the minister to drink tea, but the minister refused.”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhou Shuren to say it generously, "King Qi is my son."

Aren't you afraid that I'm partial to my son, and you trust him more?

Zhou Shuren understood the emperor's hidden meaning, "The minister is the emperor's minister, the emperor must know everything when he asks the minister, and the minister will never hide anything from the emperor."

The emperor stared into Zhou Shuren's eyes. The old fox really saw sincerity in his eyes. He was a little jealous of the old fox, especially the old fox was very protective of his weaknesses. He knew the Zhou Mansion's reaction, but Zhou Shuren didn't react at all, and he had to think about it when he saw the second and third sons one after another.

Only then did today's question come into being, the emperor withdrew his gaze, "Then what did the third child tell you?"

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart, "The King of Chu asked the minister's son and told him to keep his eyes open. The King of Chu thought what the King of Qi and the minister said."

This time Zhou Shuren watched the emperor, and heard the emperor snort, Zhou Shuren knew it, it was not the king of Chu, the emperor's snort was because the king of Chu was not a thief but reacted too much, so it was the king of Liang, that's right, the king of Liang This year's momentum has been very strong, coupled with a lot of flattery, it is a bit too floating, and the wings can flap, but it is not the most courageous.

Zhou Shuren touched the jade pendant on his waist. King Liang has always been very courageous. When Zhang Jinghong was still the fake fifth prince, King Liang was the youngest son of the emperor.

The emperor knew what the third child said, but he didn't know what the second child said. There was no one around them at the time. Zhou Shuren was an old fox. With the addition of his two sons, this old fox must have known it well, just like Ning Xu. Why didn't Ning Xu Noisy, because I also guessed who did it.

The emperor fiddled with the bracelet, "I heard from Rong Chuan that your third son wants to be dispatched to Beijing?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes, I came up step by step, so I hope Changlian can also walk down-to-earth. Although I am luckier, Changlian is not bad. He has me as his father who can keep out the rain."

Zhou Shuren put it bluntly,

Even if he doesn't say it, it's true. Isn't the purpose of being a father to support his son?

The emperor paused, feeling that Zhou Shuren's words were pointing at him, "The coastal states have developed rapidly in the past two years."

Zhou Shuren's heart moved. It is true that the development is very fast. The better the development, the better the political achievements. "Indeed, it can be seen from the tax revenue of each state."

The emperor hummed, "I think the coast is a good place, what do you think?"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I think it's pretty good too."

This is compensation. Compensation is better than no compensation. He would also like to thank King Qi and King Chu. If it weren't for the two tossing about, the emperor would not have summoned him, especially after ignoring Changlian.

The emperor smiled, "You really know how to live."

Zhou Shuren's heart moved, "I am the pillar of the family, and I carry the whole family on my back, so I naturally have to understand."

He will surely live longer than the emperor, and he waits for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

In the temple, the queen has already prayed for blessings first. There are many steps in the temple. The princesses are very embarrassed. They are too tired and dare not fall behind.

Xuehan felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, her position was in front of the princesses, although she was a little behind the princess and the princesses, but her position was wrong.

Feeling Xuehan's uneasiness, the queen opened her eyes, "Calm down."

Xuehan hurriedly closed her eyes, and silently recited the scriptures in her heart, repeating the scriptures over and over again, and slowly calmed down.

The Queen was very satisfied, but the Crown Princess murmured in her heart that the Queen Mother liked Miss Zhou's family too much, so she even took her with her to pray for blessings.

Princess Qi hates her teeth so much, the empress did it on purpose, the empress can also practice martial arts in the palace, even though she is old, her body is still in good shape, and she doesn't breathe too much when walking up the steps, they are different, even if they are incense Walking slowly, walking so fast, her chest hurts now.

Concubine Qi looked at Miss Zhou's family again, what does Empress Dowager mean?

Concubine Chu and Concubine Liang were not much better either, they were both weak ladies, and it was summer again, and their faces were all covered in makeup.

After another half an hour, Zhulan thought to herself that the knees of ancient people were not knees. After kneeling for such a long time, even if there was a cushion, the knees were still very uncomfortable. She was already sitting on her back heels, and her kneeling posture was not at all standard.

The queen got up first, followed by the princess. Xuehan was tangled up, and the princess gave Xuehan a hand. Xuehan had never knelt for so long, but now she was flustered and ignored her legs.

Xuehan looked at the princesses, and silently looked away. The makeup of the princesses was all messed up, making them look ugly.

The princess also wanted to laugh, she was not from a military commander's family, but in order to cater to the mother's preferences, she also practiced, so she didn't feel much about going up the steps, and then thought of Miss Zhou's family, it seems that Miss Zhou's family also practiced.

The queen didn't even look at Princess Qi and the others, and walked out with strides, and the officials and family members also got up one after another.

The empress first chatted with the officials and family members of several important officials, and waited until all those who should be taken care of were taken care of before she said: "Mr. Yang Shu, come forward."

Zhulan thought to herself that fortunately she had been tense all the time, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects, "Empress Empress."

The queen personally helped her up, "Excuse me, the emperor often mentions the third son of the Zhou family in front of me. The children taught by Shuren are very good. I like Xuehan very much. In the future, Shuren will come to the palace to chat with me more. chat."

Sure enough, Zhulan Xindao guessed right, today the empress organized blessings for Rong Chuan and the Zhou family, all the officials and family members from the fourth rank of the capital came, the empress' words elevated the Zhou family, and also elevated her, feeling warm in my heart Yes, "As long as the empress does not dislike the minister's wife, the minister's wife must enter the palace more often."

The empress smiled, "I don't dislike it, but I am worried that there is no one to chat with."

This is interesting. Is the queen short of someone to chat with? There is no shortage. How many officials and family members want to be in the eyes of the queen, but unfortunately the queen rarely summons the officials and family members.

The queen's words are for everyone, and Zhou Yang's is what she values.

In the capital, Zhulan relied on Zhou Shuren, and indeed gained a lot of respect, but in the hearts of the officials of the great family, she still looked down on Zhulan. If the queen said it, at least no one would blatantly look down on her in the future.
