Chapter 139 Concubine Liu and Concubine Min Take Charge of the Harem
"This night, I came up with seven or eight changes to the decrees while playing. What about you?"
Xiao Yunzhou's hoarse voice sounded very rough.
It was as if he had worked all night, working hard without sleep.
But this was all an illusion.
[Ah, the emperor's voice is hoarse, not because he was thinking about the decrees, but because he was playing the game of the rich man last night. He was anxious to urge Fu Cha Ge Lao and Lord Shen to make a quick decision on whether to buy land, and he was hoarse. ]
"..."
Liu Channiang was holding her daughter Chuchu, standing outside the imperial study, and she could hear her temples beating.
Last night, Xiao Yunzhou and the ministers played the game of the rich man all night.
Until the moon was on the top of the willows, the little princess was not returned, and she asked the nanny to take her back by force.
As a result, as soon as the daughter Chuchu returned to the side hall of Donghua Palace, her voice did not stop. When she was awake, she broadcast the fierce scene of the emperor's battle with the cabinet and the six ministries to Liu Channiang.
Liu Chan's mother heard everything clearly, including the fact that after midnight, Xiao Yunzhou slammed the table and added a new way to play the game of the rich man - players who arrived at the money bank could borrow money from the money bank.
[The emperor father has realized it, not bad. ]
Xiao Chuchu was in her mother's arms, praising the emperor father, as naturally as eating and drinking water.
[Not stupid. ]
[It's worth the wisdom and painstaking efforts of my mother, Qiuli, and Aunt Minpin to invent the "rich man" from the leaf play cards. ]
Xiao Chuchu had already slept well this morning, and she started her inner drama at the door of the imperial study.
Liu Chan's mother couldn't help laughing when she heard it.
Xiao Yunzhou in the imperial study was separated by a wall. When he heard the voice of the little princess, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The daughter is here?
Did she see the ability of her father?
Xiao Yunzhou suddenly became more excited, looking at Jiang Li, who was also exhausted from working all night, and said, "Big rich man, you can't beat me."
"You can't beat me when it comes to new financial policies."
"Jiang Li, the Minister of Revenue, are you ashamed?"
Jiang Li's face flushed, and he almost crawled under the table. He could only stand up, "I, I beg the emperor to lend me the big rich man for one day, so that I can take it back to the Ministry of Revenue and study it with other officials of the Ministry of Revenue."
The Queen Mother, the Queen, and Concubine Li outside the Imperial Study were stunned.
The Minister of Revenue also borrowed this toy to let the entire Ministry of Revenue study together?
"Humph," but Xiao Yunzhou's dissatisfied voice soon came from the Imperial Study, "If you take it back, you can't study it as well as I can. Isn't it a waste of the efforts of Concubine Liu and Concubine Min?"
"......!" The Queen and Concubine Li, who complained, looked extremely ugly.
"Who says women are inferior to men?" Xiao Yunzhou knew that his daughter was out, and he also knew that his daughter was a typical protective mother.
Moreover, he was able to understand the loan of this bank, thanks to the intelligence of the women in the harem.
If there was no rich man, Jingguo Bank would probably have remained at the single function of deposits.
Immediately, Xiao Yunzhou stroked the hair of his precious fairy, and did not hesitate to praise the woman, "When I wanted to make Liu Concubine a female official, you all opposed it."
"The voices of the cabinet and the six ministries were the loudest."
"Now, she has made another contribution," Xiao Yunzhou spread his hands, "What should we do?"
"Does your face hurt?"
"Cabinet, six ministries?"
There was silence in the imperial study.
There was also dead silence outside the imperial study.
The empress dowager who stopped to eavesdrop was silent for a moment, turned around and found Liu Channiang and Min Concubine, nodded gently to them, her eyes full of kindness and praise.
The Queen and Concubine Li: "..."
The Queen Mother turned around gently, lowered her voice, and ordered the guards at the door, "Don't let the emperor know that we have been here."
"Let's go, let's not disturb the emperor and the ministers from studying government affairs."
"..."
A group of concubines in the harem were speechless.
What are they studying? Leaf cards?
The steps of the harem women turned around, as if they were stepping on clouds, with blurred eyes.
It is obvious that what Concubine Liu made was a toy that was similar to leaf cards, so how did it become a contribution to government affairs?
How did the table cards and dice become something that inspired the emperor, the cabinet, and the six ministries?
They were puzzled, and dared not ask in detail, so they could only look at Concubine Liu and Concubine Min with curiosity and admiration.
What a gap.
How can the gap between people be so big?
"You are so amazing, Sister Liu, Sister Min." The courageous low-ranking noble blurted out.
But just after she finished speaking, she was pinched by the little sister next to her, signaling her to shut up.
The faces of the Queen and Concubine Li were dark at this time.
But the Queen Mother was about to go to the Cining Palace, but Xiao Chuchu refused.
[Humph, Queen and Concubine Li, are you just leaving like this? You just wanted to sue my mother and Aunt Min, are you just going to let it go? You still owe my mother, Aunt Min, and Sister Qiuli an apology! ]
Xiao Yunzhou had just finished pretending in the Imperial Study, and was smugly watching the cabinet and the six ministries have no shame, and bowed their heads to reflect more obediently than their grandsons.
Hearing his daughter's voice, he was stunned.
The Queen and Concubine Li are here?
At the door of the imperial study?
Xiao Yunzhou pricked up his ears.
Sure enough, he heard his daughter's dissatisfaction again.
[Even if the emperor father is really addicted to games, what does it have to do with my mother? ]
[Adults' self-control ability cannot be blamed on others. ]
Xiao Chuchu kept beeping in her heart, [Speaking of which, the queen mother and the queen are really something. ]
[After so many years, they still treat the emperor father as a child. ]
Xiao Yunzhou frowned for a moment.
[He is almost 40 years old, okay? You still treat a 40-year-old man as a 4-year-old child, thinking that he will not grow up, thinking that he is a greedy Chengshan? ]
"!"
Xiao Yunzhou couldn't help but stand up.
Here it comes again.
My mother is good in everything, but she doesn't trust that he has grown up to be a king who can rule the country.
This is how the last vaccination happened.
This time, the landlord card is like this again.
"Empress Dowager," Concubine Li took two steps, still feeling unwilling, "Even if the emperor wants to work hard, he should take care of his body. Don't you think so? That big landlord card won't run away..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yunzhou had already strode out of the imperial study, with a gloomy face.
"Mother, Queen, Concubine Li, what do you want to say to me this morning?"
"......!"
"!"
"I also want to take care of my body. If Concubine Li can also relieve my worries, I can sleep a little longer."
"What do you think, Concubine Li?"
Xiao Yunzhou's sharp eyes moved from Concubine Li's face to the Queen's face.
"And Queen, what do you think?"
"!"
Concubine Li's face turned pale.
The Queen felt that she was being insinuated, and her expression was ugly.
"Mother, I think the Queen and Concubine Li are a little tired recently."
Xiao Yunzhou's eyes were sharp, "The affairs of the harem can be handed over to Concubine Liu and Concubine Min, what do you think?"
The Queen looked up in disbelief.
Concubine Li opened her mouth.
A trace of surprise flashed across the Queen Mother's face, but she soon sighed and nodded, "They are both brave and resourceful, so it's good."
"Queen, please take a rest for a while."
The Queen closed her eyes and fell backwards!
[Awoo, my mother, Aunt Min, have become the boss of the harem? ]
Xiao Chuchu didn't expect that the melon would suddenly fall on her!
That day, Xiao Yunzhou asked the Ministry of Revenue to draft detailed terms for the bank to lend money and cooperate with merchants.
When Sanda estimated the time and entered the Jingguo Palace again, ready to comfort Xiao Yunzhou, who must have been taught a bloody lesson by the ministers, he found that everything was the opposite of what he thought.
"?"
"Does your mother agree that you can play with the ministers?"
"What? The Ministry of Revenue has borrowed a set, and everyone wants to play together?"
"Ah... your cabinet's deputy assistant also wrote a poem praising the board game?"
"The concubine who invented this toy has become the master of the harem?"
Sanda was stunned. Damn, the Emperor of Jingguo is too happy...
"Great, big brother!"
"You are better than the previous emperors in the Central Plains."
"......!"
Xiao Yunzhou almost rolled his eyes.
This praise, keep it to yourself!
Three days later, several princes who were vaccinated were safe and sound. Sanda finally made up his mind to let his own prince start vaccination.
Wu Yunguo and Jingguo signed a ten-year agreement on mutual trade and cooperation with money banks.
*
The Imperial Palace of Chu.
The King of Chu read the letter sent by the spy, his face was uncertain.
"Xiao Yunzhou... this is a master's help."
King Chu closed his eyes, "It's time to use the trump card."
"Duoti, who is beside Sanda, has received so many gifts from us. Let him weigh it himself."
"This king does not want to see Wu Yunguo and Jingguo join forces."
*
[Awoo, the task of saving the prince of Wu Yunguo is completed! ]
Xiao Chuchu finally received the system message when Sanda Khan was about to set off to return.
Xiao Yunzhou, who was flipping through the draft of the loan details in the study, was relieved.
But soon he breathed again.
[嘤, the task reward has unlocked an elite map that can be conquered! ]
Xiao Yunzhou's eyes lit up and he pricked up his ears.
[Elite: Duoti, the vanguard general of Wu Yunguo. ]
"???" Xiao Yunzhou was stunned.
Generals from other countries can also be accepted by Jingguo?
He and Sanda have been brothers for more than ten days. Is this not authentic?
[Duoti: Martial Strength 92, very good at charging and breaking through. Secretly bribed by Chu State, intending to destroy the relationship between Wu Yun State and Jing State. ]
Xiao Yunzhou: “!”
