Chapter 958： compensate

In the political hall, there was only the emperor alone, 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 motioned Zhou Shuren to sit down, "Have you seen King Qi and King Chu these days?"

When Zhou Shuren heard it, the emperor was indeed the most suspicious person. The king of Qi had a lot of motives, and if the king of Qi came several times, he might have lost his trust in the emperor, and generously admitted: "Yes, the king of Qi told the minister, It wasn't that he sent someone to assassinate, but he also implied that the minister King Qi knew who did it, and the King 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."

You are not afraid that I am partial to my son, and trust my son 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 looked into Zhou Shuren's eyes. The old fox really saw sincerity in the eyes of this old fox. He was a little afraid of this old fox, especially the old fox was very revengeful. He knew the Zhou Mansion's reaction, Zhou Shuren didn't react at all, and he saw the second and third children one after another, so he couldn't think about it.

Only then did today's question come about, and the emperor retracted his gaze, "What did the third child say to you?"

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

This time, Zhou Shuren looked at the emperor, and heard the emperor humming softly, Zhou Shuren knew it, it was not the king of Chu, the emperor hummed because the king of Chu was not a thief but had a radical reaction, so it was the king of Liang, and yes, the king of Liang The momentum has been very strong this year, and with a lot of flattery, some of them are too fluttering, and their wings can flap, but they are 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. If you add his two sons, this old fox must have some idea. Just like Ning Xu, why didn't Ning Xu not Make a fuss, because I also guessed who did it.

The emperor flicked the bracelet, "I heard Rong Chuan say, your third son wants to be dispatched to Beijing?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes, the minister has come up step by step, so I hope Chang Lian can also walk down-to-earth. Although the minister is luckier, Chang Lian is not bad. He has me as a father and can keep out the rain."

Zhou Shuren said it bluntly, even if he didn't say it, it was a fact. Isn't being a father just to support his son?

The emperor paused, always 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 indeed developing rapidly, and the better the development, the better the achievements. "Indeed, it can be seen from the taxation of each state."

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

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

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

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

Zhou Shuren's heart moved, "This minister is the backbone of the family, and the minister carries a large family on his back, so the minister will naturally understand how to live."

He will certainly outlive the emperor, and he is waiting for the prince to ascend the throne.

In the temple, the queen has already prayed first. There are many steps in the temple. Several princesses are very embarrassed.

Xuehan was sitting on pins and needles. Her position was in front of several princesses. Although she was a little behind the crown princess and several other princesses, her position was not right.

The queen felt Xuehan's unease and opened her eyes, "Meditation."

Xuehan hurriedly closed her eyes, reciting the scriptures in her heart, reciting it over and over again, and slowly calmed down.

The Queen was very satisfied, but the Crown Princess was murmured in her heart. The Queen Mother also liked Sister Xiao of the Zhou family so much that she even brought her to pray for blessings.

Princess Qi hated her teeth itching, the empress did it on purpose, the empress would also practice martial arts in the palace, even if she was old, her body and bones were still very good, and she would not breathe much when going up the stairs, they were different, even if it was incense Walking slowly, walking so fast, her chest hurts now.

Princess Qi looked at Sister Xiao of the Zhou family again, what does the empress mean?

Princess Chu and Princess Liang were not much better, they were all weak ladies, and it was summer again, and their face makeup was all spent.

After another half an hour, Zhulan thought to herself, the knees of ancient people are not knees. Even if there is a cushion on the knees for so long, the knees are very uncomfortable. She has already sat on the back heels, and her kneeling posture is not at all. standard.

The queen got up first, followed by the Crown Princess, Xuehan was tangled, the Crown Princess pulled Xuehan, Xuehan had never kneeled for so long, but now she was flustered and ignored her legs.

Xuehan looked at the several princesses, and looked away silently. The makeup of the several princesses was smudged, which was very ugly.

The Crown Princess also wanted to laugh. She was not from a family of military commanders, but she had also practiced in order to meet her mother's preferences, so she really didn't feel anything about going up the stairs. Then she thought of Sister Zhou's family, and it seemed that Sister Zhou's family had also practiced.

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

The queen chatted a few words with the family members of several important officials, and when all the people who should be taken care of were taken care of, she said: "Yang Shuren came forward Zhulan secretly said that fortunately, she has been tensing her heart and hurried forward. Greetings, "Queen Empress. "

The queen gave her a hand, "No gift, the emperor often greets the third son of the Zhou family in front of this palace. The children taught by Shuren are all outstanding. Bengong likes Xuehan very much. In the future, Shuren will come to the palace to chat with this palace. chat."

Zhu Lan's heart really guessed right. Today, the Queen organized a prayer for Rong Chuan and Zhou Jiacai, and all the officials and family members who used to be in the fourth rank of the capital came. The Queen's words raised the Zhou family and her, and my heart was warm. Yes, "As long as the Empress does not dislike the ministers' wives, the ministers' wives will definitely enter the palace more."

The Empress smiled, "Bengong doesn't dislike it, I'm just worried that no one chats."

This is interesting. Is there a shortage of people to chat with the queen? There is no shortage of people. How many officials and family members want to be in the eyes of the queen, but unfortunately the queen rarely summons 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 got a lot of respect, but in the hearts of officials of the great family, they still looked down on Zhulan. If the Queen's words were spoken, at least no one would blatantly look down on her in the future.
