Mo Rongzhan held Ye Zhen in his arms refreshedly. Her carambola-colored dish-patterned pajamas had long been out of shape. They were crumpled and still under the bed. The sheets had been changed. He also changed his clothes, and was leaning on Murong Zhan's shoulder, listening to him talk about the envoy of Qi State today.
"So, Qi Guo doesn't really care much about Zhao Ning." Ye Zhen said in a low voice, if Zhao Yong valued this wandering daughter, he would definitely let people recognize her first, and it wouldn't happen I haven't seen Zhao Ning yet.
"There are four princesses in Qi State. I have never heard of any princess who is having a bad life. Zhao Yong is good to his children. No matter what, as long as Zhao Ning is his daughter, there will still be decent princesses." Mo Mo Rong Zhan said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen frowned and said, "I don't think Qi Guo will be grateful to you for finding the princess back for them."
Seeing her frown, Mo Rongzhan just found it funny, "Do you think they will still be grateful to Dade?"
"At any rate, it's to find the princess for the country of Qi. Even if you don't have to be grateful to Dade, you have to show it. As long as Zhao Yong shows the intention of forming an alliance with the country of Jin, the war in Xiliang will definitely go much smoother. Even if you don't plan to form an alliance, It's good to have a good time." Ye Zhen grumbled.
"Well, Zhao Yong is really nothing." Mo Rongzhan laughed and nodded.
Ye Zhen stared angrily, "Why are you laughing, did I say something wrong?"
Murongzhan hugged her in his arms and coaxed her, "No, Yaoyao is right, but Zhao Yong thinks more than you, what he considers is not the interests of Jin, but the influence of Qi. "
"What do you mean?" Ye Zhen asked confusedly.
"Zhao Yong's alliance with the Kingdom of Jin, and Beiming Kingdom are naturally afraid. If they launch Xiliang, who will benefit?" Murong Zhan patiently analyzed the situation with Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen looked at him seriously, "We! Beiming Kingdom retreated from Xiliang, you stay in Xiliang in the name of precaution, and incorporate Xiliang into Jin Kingdom, Jin Kingdom will benefit in the end."
"The state of Jin takes Xiliang as its own, so what's the benefit of the state of Qi?" Mo Rongzhan asked again.
"Qi State..." Ye Zhen froze for a moment, "Qi State has added a strong enemy."
Murong Zhan kissed the corner of her mouth, "Yaoyao is so smart."
Ye Zhen sighed dejectedly. She hadn't figured out such a simple truth. The alliance between Qi State and Jin State is not beneficial at all, it will only give Jin State a chance to become stronger. Why is Zhao Yong so stupid, giving Jin State a chance for no reason? .
"So, after Zhao Yong takes Zhao Ning away, he won't associate with Jin Guo anymore." Ye Zhen said.
Murong Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly to rest his mind, "Not necessarily, let's just watch."
Ye Zhen touched his face, "Are you tired these days? You lost weight."
"No." Murong Zhan said with a smile, and kissed her palm, "Sleep with me for a while."
Isn't it normal for him to be skinny? When she was in the palace, she used to stew this soup and make that dish for him every now and then, but now he is often in the Qing Palace, and any woman in the harem dares to bring the soup. He usually eats alone and it tastes bad, so what he eats is naturally tasteless. More than before.
What's more, the matter in South Vietnam has not been resolved yet, and there are too many things that worry him, he can't sleep for long every day, and now he is by her side, so he looks tired.
Ye Zhen knew that he must have a lot of troubles in the palace, she wanted to ask him, but she knew that he would not tell her the truth in order to save herself from worrying.
"Do you want to go to court tomorrow?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"No need." Mo Rongzhan hugged her tightly, and she was almost asleep.
Ye Zhen said, "Then have breakfast with me tomorrow morning before going back."
"good."
…
…
South Vietnam.
Murong Ke and Murong Yi got down from the dock and got into the carriage in the dim light.
"I didn't expect that the prosperity of Nanyue is not inferior to that of Kyoto. I heard that this place is barren. After coming here for so many days, I really can't see where it is barren." Murongyi looked at the dock on Biwan, he couldn't tell. The first day he arrived in Nanyue, he thought that even if it was close to the sea, even if the imperial court agreed that Nanyue was qualified for trade, even if it could go to sea to do business here, it would not be so prosperous.
What a surprise.
"If you have been to Jinkou City, you will find that it is comparable to Jinkou City." Murong Ke said in a low voice. He had seen the prosperity of Jinkou City's import and export business. It has a lot to do with it.
When did South Vietnam develop to this point? The court knew nothing about it.
Murongyi frowned and said, "But in these years, the tax paid by South Vietnam to the imperial court is not even half of that of Jinkou City. According to South Vietnam's situation, their tax money will definitely not be lower than that of Jinkou City. Where did all the money go? ?”
"Yeah, where did the money go?" Murong Ke sneered. Either the merchants here didn't pay the tax money, or someone paid the tax money but didn't hand it over to the treasury. One is that it will cost people their lives.
"Brother Six, the water here in Nanyue is very deep." Murong Yi said in a low voice. They have recovered part of the money after they came here for a few days. However, he also saw that those who owed money were procrastinating. People invited him and Sixth Brother to dinner all the time, and the words were so flattering. They wouldn't think that if they flattered him and Sixth Brother, they wouldn't have to pay back the money they owed, would they
Murong Ke said in a low voice, "Now we only recovered 30 million taels, which is still a lot worse. We will stay behind closed doors tomorrow, and wait for those people to bring the money on their own initiative."
Murong Yi has already seen Murong Ke's posture of talking to those people. The sixth brother who seems to be easy to get along with on weekdays is really scary when he changes his face. .
"Okay." Murong Yi nodded, and raised his eyes to look at Murong Ke.
Back at the inn where they lived, Murong Ke had just gotten off the car when someone handed him a secret letter. Seeing the wax seal on it, he knew that the letter was sent from the palace.
Murong Ke opened the letter and glanced at it, frowning into Sichuan characters.
"Sixth Brother, what's wrong?" Murong Yi asked in a low voice.
"The emperor sent Lu Xiangzhi to South Vietnam." Murong Ke said in a low voice.
Murong Yi smiled and said, "That's a good thing, why do you look so sad?"
"It's not that simple..." Murong Ke handed him the letter, "Look for yourself."
"Is there anything more difficult than begging for money?" Murong Yi said with a smile, took the letter and read it, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, "Could it be that Brother Huang wants us to investigate the case of the Feng family and the Pan family back then? "
"The letter didn't make it very clear. Lu Xiangzhi should arrive soon, and it will be clear when we ask him." Murong Ke said.
Murongyi was right in saying that the water in Nanyue was deeper than he imagined.
