Although Long Lao admitted that he had caused trouble due to lack of consideration, Emperor Xuanwu didn't take it seriously at all. ;23+wx
In his heart, Wu Zhe admired Emperor Xuanwu's art of controlling people and his strategic vision. Instead of dwelling on the past, look to the future. Although it is a bit troublesome now, this kind of trouble will appear sooner or later, it is better to mobilize all the men to try to solve it now. And it can also boost morale and win people's hearts, which is definitely a good idea.
Mentioning the strategic significance of Princess Yoyo at the national level, everyone began to think.
"Mo'er has Miss Zhou Zhiruo as a staff officer, do you have a think tank by your side?" Emperor Xuanwu looked at the eldest prince.
"I have a personal maid named Pomegranate." The eldest prince didn't expect Emperor Xuanwu to ask this question, and he didn't have time to reply immediately.
Emperor Xuanwu pretended to recall: "Pomegranate? Is it the official servant girl assigned to Prince Mo by the clan mansion?"
The eldest prince happily said: "Father still remembers her."
Every official servant girl was approved by the emperor after the clan mansion made the decision, so it is not too much for Emperor Xuanwu to know. It's just that he was also a little worried about whether Emperor Xuanwu knew about the fact that the clan mansion had robbed a maid with a huge amount of money.
After spending so much money, I don't know if my father will be angry. The eldest prince is a bit lost. But considering that Zhou Zhiruo was invited as Prince Mo's think tank, and Princess Qing was also invited to be present, there must be no intention of discriminating against women.
Um? When the eldest prince thought of this, his heart trembled.
Why did Prince Mo use Zhou Zhiruo as a think tank? Could it be that she is not only good-looking, Prince Mo deliberately found a beautiful girl as a staff member to show me
If Zhou Zhiruo really has the ability to think tank, how can Pomegranate explain it? Both of them are think tanks
The eldest prince was a little confused. These days, I habitually think that pomegranate is a think tank, and it is not easy to change my concept.
He is not a big fool, but his brain is definitely not as flexible as Prince Mo and others, and he is definitely not as quick-witted as Master Maitreya. Fortunately so. He didn't have a cerebral hemorrhage like Master Mitreya did, but he started to worry about something wrong with him.
"We are here to advise on this matter. If you feel that the strategy is not enough, you can find your own helper." Xuanwu Emperor looked at the reaction of the eldest prince and said.
The eldest prince cautiously said: "I originally planned to bring pomegranates into the palace, and I am looking for an opportunity to report to you, father, and dare to come in after I get permission."
"Well. Then you can bring her in. But she is not qualified to come in this Hall of Mental Cultivation, at least I haven't seen her ability yet." Xuanwu Emperor said slowly: "You go and ask Chief Peng to bring her in." The maid named Shiliu entered the inner palace and waited in the west side hall of the outer hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. If you have any undecided matters, you can go over and ask and clarify before coming back to me."
The eldest prince was happy, but also a little apprehensive.
He couldn't realize that there was something wrong with the pomegranate in a short time, and when he heard that his father was so kind, he immediately responded and went out to tell Director Peng.
Chief Manager Peng replied with a smile on his face, but said in his heart: Eldest prince. You are so confused. Do you still not understand this kind of thing? If Zhou Zhiruo was just a top fake after pomegranate, how could he be able to fall into the eyes of the emperor? How bad is your vision of the Xuanwu Emperor who has been ruling the country for decades, and Zhou Zhiruo was allowed to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation, while your pomegranate can only enter the side hall
It seems that the emperor hopes that the eldest prince can come to his senses through practical planning, and observe whether the heir candidate can turn his back on his way. Responding to the words passed down from generation to generation by the eldest prince, Director Peng sighed secretly in his heart and left.
Director Peng compared Prince Mo and the eldest prince in his heart, and felt that there was not much difference between the two. But now there is one missing Master Maitreya, who fell seriously ill, and Zhou Zhiruo, who is extraordinarily cunning and thick-skinned. The situation became clearer...
Bystanders are clear, authorities are confused. The eldest prince returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Also the confidence in the heart increased greatly. He looked at Prince Mo, who had no expression on his face, and said self-righteously in his heart: Hmph, my think tank can also cooperate to make suggestions, let's see how the emperor's problem is resolved.
"I called you here today, saying it's a state matter, but it's actually a bit like a family gathering." Emperor Xuanwu didn't mind Wu Zhe's presence at all. He just smiled and said to his two sons and one daughter: "You are either people who have a heart for the world, or you are brave after knowing your shame, or you are a woman who refuses to let her bearded. Let's talk about it."
Emperor Xuanwu didn't say anything about me here. Instead, I used my title, which is equivalent to showing my attitude.
Wu Zhe and Prince Mo understood in their hearts, would Emperor Xuanwu really think so? Bah, absolutely impossible. I'm afraid that this discussion of state affairs is also an important issue in choosing the heir to the throne.
Emperor Xuanwu turned to Longlao again: "Longlao was my minister when I was the prince, and I have long regarded him as a family member."
Long Lao clasped his fists and cupped his hands: "Contributing to the emperor is a matter of life. If the emperor says so, how dare this old man do it?"
"You don't have to be polite, that's how you are in my heart." Emperor Xuanwu smiled, and said again: "I said before that Princess Youyou of Qi State is under our control..."
Princess Qing laughed and said: "Father, you forgot to mention one person, she is the female consort who broke my husband-hunting competition in my favor."
"Indeed, there is no shortage of good think tanks who are good at making suggestions for the Lord." Emperor Xuanwu said with a smile. He didn't care about Princess Qing's talkativeness at all, and put on a very magnanimous look.
In fact, Princess Qing didn't even call out to her father, and said in a joking manner, that Emperor Xuanwu himself spoke first, so naturally she would not blame her.
Wu Zhe knew that Princess Qing was helping her improve her status, and she didn't know whether to be grateful or sad.
What do you mean when you are in a hurry, you are not a business? Wu Zhe was a little uncomfortable with such a beautiful woman being delivered to her door. If she was begging and teasing her in every possible way, making Princess Qing fall in love with her shyly and delicately, it would make her feel more at ease. But now this princess Qing often takes the initiative to show her favor to her, which makes Wu Zhe, who was not very popular with women in her previous life, a little uncomfortable.
Wu Zhe didn't realize how attractive he was. With her current appearance and displayed talent, it would be strange if she didn't attract the attention of Princess Qing, who had a serious lily tendency.
Soon, Chief Peng reported outside: "Go back to the emperor, go back to the eldest prince, Pomegranate is already waiting in the side hall."
After reporting this sentence, Director Peng stepped down on his own.
"En. Continue with what I just said, and treat it as a family game." Emperor Xuanwu laughed, and said slowly: "Princess Yoyo has snatched it, what should we do to get the most cost-effective deal?"
This is very plain and simple.
The First Prince, Prince Mo and Old Long were used to the seriousness of Emperor Xuanwu in the past, but they were not quite used to it.
In fact, to a certain extent, this is also the reason why Wu Zhe was present. The evolutionary body is to evolve towards human aesthetics, how to be pleasing to the eye, how to make people look angry, and how to make people look at it without killing intent, this is the appearance trend that the evolutionary body first considers.
So with Wu Zhe present, even if he caught sight of this beautiful woman out of the corner of his eye, Emperor Xuanwu himself would subconsciously feel happy, so the intentional gentle atmosphere was created more properly.
"How to do it?" Long Lao was surprised: "This is the national policy of the emperor to test the prince and princess."
Emperor Xuanwu laughed: "It's just for fun, it's not a test."
If Grand Chief Peng was present, he would surely find that the number of times Xuanwu Emperor laughed at this moment was more than the sum of the past few days.
Long Lao knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he stopped talking immediately.
"Hey, Mr. Long, including you, come and play this game."
"Is it still like this for an old man?"
Emperor Xuanwu said: "It's just a game. In the end, I will be the referee and make the decision. The best one will be rewarded with 10,000 taels. Are you convinced?"
Ten thousand taels was just casually said by Emperor Xuanwu. He was also sure that compared with his own favor, none of you present put ten thousand taels of silver in their eyes.
"Father, you can just talk about how to do this game." Princess Qing urged her with common people's titles.
"You and Shiliu go to plan. You and Zhou Zhiruo go to plan." Emperor Xuanwu said this to the Eldest Prince and Prince Mo respectively. After a pause, he continued: "Girl Qing and Elder Long, you plan separately. There are four answers in total."
"Zhou Zhiruo should be in my group." Princess Qing objected.
Prince Mo winked his eyes at Wu Zhe, which seemed to be a lot of teasing.
Wu Zhe said: "Princess Qing, I got Prince Mo's moon silver, but how can I not distinguish between public and private?"
Princess Qing tugged Wu Zhe's sleeve, and said eloquently, "Today is a private matter, just a family game. If you want to distinguish between public and private, Miss Zhou, you should be on my side."
Wu Zhe went all out, and said tit-for-tat: "If it's about personal matters, if I hadn't entered the Yuan Healing Palace, I'm afraid I would have been Prince Mo's maid in the room. How can I get Princess Qing to recruit your husband? Who is it? Finally, we can all distinguish clearly, right?"
Princess Qing has nothing to say now.
The eldest prince didn't bother to pay attention to the bickering here, and bid farewell to Emperor Xuanwu.
"Go and discuss with that maid, Pomegranate, we will meet again here in a quarter of an hour." Emperor Xuanwu nodded, got up and entered the inner hall.
At first, Mr. Long was still thinking with a sad face, but soon his brows relaxed, and he started to drink tea next to him. He is not stupid, so he naturally figured out that today he is just a foil, and the emperor is just evaluating the national policy of his children.
"My lord, should we find a place to discuss?" Wu Zhe took the initiative to ask Dugu Mo.
Dugu Mo is even a bachelor, so he directly threw the burden on Wu Zhe: "Miss Zhou is here to advise me, and I will listen to your advice."
"My lord cheated on me." Wu Zhe complained, and didn't make any excuses, but he didn't frown and think, but started to sit at the table and eat snacks.
Princess Qing sat down beside her, and graciously handed over a piece of pastry.
Prince Mo blushed beside him, thinking that it was fortunate that Zhou Zhiruo was a woman, otherwise she would definitely be the public enemy of men and the killer of girls. (To be continued..)
