Zheng Shuwen is sitting next to the dragon chair, behind the bead curtain.
Even if the bead curtain was thin and dense, it still couldn't block her face that was pale with anger, and what Zheng Sheng and the Zheng family did this time had even more embarrassing details.
She didn't even have the slightest excuse to beg for mercy and be pitiful.
The gold list that originally issued the decree clearly stated that only ten guards were allowed to go to pay the fee. Fortunately, Zheng's grandmother agreed to Zheng Shuwen that day and held a family meeting when she returned. Most of the government troops were assigned to Zheng Sheng.
So as to help him achieve success immediately.
A rough calculation shows that the number of soldiers in the government is no less than 2,000. In addition to the ten excellent imperial guards selected by Zheng Sheng himself, it is not difficult to suppress bandits in every area.
But who knew it would be such a result.
Of course, Zheng's grandmother would not tell Zheng Shuwen these details, but it does not mean that Zheng Shuwen did not know about it.
Therefore, she is now so angry that her face is pale, her whole body is still trembling, and she has cursed countless times in her heart, "Trash!" waste! waste!
"The Queen Mother, according to what I see, the ambition of the thieves cannot be encouraged, otherwise it will undermine the prestige of our country. I suggest that the general send troops to suppress it!" The left minister observed the situation in the DPRK. Although he was unwilling to say this, he had to explain.
Some ministers and ministers of the left prime minister came out to second the proposal.
Prince Ning Yi Pang sneered: "Why didn't anyone suggest that the general send troops before? Now that Zheng Sheng's incident happened, he thought of the general."
So sour.
The Prime Minister's face was slightly unhappy, his gray beard moved, but he said nothing.
Above the court, there was silence, or in other words, a kind of balance.
Obviously, the Queen Mother is still unwilling to use Fu Tingye and does not want Fu Tingye to take the opportunity to extend his hands into the internal territory of Qi State, but there is no way at the moment.
She didn't want to say this, very much.
Moreover, Zheng Shuwen was sure that Fu Tingye would not send troops casually, but would definitely make some kind of request that made her very unhappy.
Therefore, the court fell into silence, and for a while it was almost audible.
"General, what do you mean?"
After a long time, Zheng Shuwen finally felt uncomfortable under the depressing atmosphere, but when she opened her mouth, she asked Fu Tingye for his opinion.
Fu Tingye looked uncertain: "I'm not willing to go back to the Queen Mother."
What... all the ministers looked away.
For Fu Tingye, such a good opportunity was an opportunity to expand his sphere of influence and further establish his career, but he was unwilling to go.
That's not a mistake
Zheng Shuwen actually smiled: "Why
"Mere bandits are not enough to cause trouble. If Zheng Sheng is not good enough, we can send someone else, and the imperial list is still there. Our country, Qi, is a big country, so naturally there will be no shortage of such talents." Fu Tingye paused at this point: "If one party Bandits have to be suppressed by generals. If word spreads, how will other countries view our country's national prestige?"
Zheng Shuwen finally picked up something after hearing this. Sure enough, Fu Tingye was still the same Fu Tingye. It was not that he was unwilling to go, but that he was negotiating conditions with her.
Fu Tingye then stopped talking. His reasoning was tenable and Zheng Shuwen could not force him to suppress and save her nephew.
But if the Queen Mother was willing to give something, he wouldn't mind giving it to a few people.
The Fu family army is many times stronger than the imperial army trained in the greenhouse of the palace.
"Let me think about this matter again." Zheng Shuwen said in a serious tone. After discussing this matter, she then withdrew from the court.
…
When Zhao Sheng came to see Hua Qingxue again, Hua Qingxue was drafting the admissions test papers. When she saw him, she immediately put down what she was holding.
In the room, Huan'er and Xi'er were getting snacks for Tongtong. Although Tongtong couldn't speak, he understood adults very well and was often not as well-behaved as other children of the same age.
That's why she's so popular.
"Madam, we have made an appointment over there. If Madam comes forward and Mr. Tang Yu is willing to come forward to meet, we can set the time." Zhao Sheng respectfully asked for Hua Qingxue's opinion.
Hua Qingxue thought for a while: "Then let's do it one day after admissions. Before admissions, I guess it will be very busy."
"Okay, just listen to Madam." Zhao Sheng accepted Hua Qingxue's intention and immediately withdrew.
But as soon as he left, Qin Laowu stepped in. Hua Qingxue looked up at him and couldn't help but tell: "The general hasn't come back yet. I'll have someone notify you when he comes back soon." She thought he was here to come. Fu Tingye's.
Qin Laowu smiled awkwardly: "Madam, I'm here to see you."
Hua Qingxue raised her eyebrows: "Is something wrong?"
Qin Laowu nodded, and sat down on the stool closest to Hua Qingxue calmly: "I heard... Madam wants to meet Mr. Tang Yu?"
He said this in such a mysterious manner that the room fell silent.
Qin Laowu looked over subconsciously and saw two girls and a little girl reading some rice paper.
Qin Laowu didn't know what was drawn on the rice paper, so he paid more attention. Huan'er asked Tongtong from the side: "Do you understand?"
Tongtong nodded.
Huan'er laughed: "I don't believe you can understand, then let me test you, what is your answer to this question?"
Huan'er and Xi'er are illiterate, but they still understand numbers.
The first few questions on Hua Qingxue's test paper were simple addition and subtraction, so Huan'er could naturally do the calculations.
But what no one expected was that Tongtong immediately stretched out a few fingers, which were clearly the answers to the questions pointed out by Huan'er.
"That's amazing! You little girl!" Huan'er couldn't help but reach out and pinch Tongtong's soft little face, and laughed: "You are many times more powerful than my sister when she was a child."
Tongtong's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he started laughing.
It turned out to be an admissions test question.
Qin Laowu withdrew his gaze and at the same time stopped his consideration.
"Yes, I just finalized it with Butler Zhao. The date is set one day after the enrollment." Hua Qingxue did not intend to hide it. This is not something that needs to be kept secret: "It's just that I don't know why Brother Qin is asking this?"
"There is really one thing that I want to trouble Madam." Qin Laowu is a rough guy, and he never talks in roundabout ways when talking to his own people: "I would like to ask Madam for a favor."
"Say it." Hua Qingxue looked calm.
Qin Laowu was about to speak when he suddenly realized that there were several people in the room. The general had ordered this matter to be kept secret, so even his wife could not fully inform him.
So he stood up and held his hands towards Hua Qingxue: "Madam, please lend me a step to speak."
Very mysterious.
Hua Qingxue nodded, and then followed Qin Laowu to the yard outside the house.
After Qin Laowu was sure that he was relieved, he said: "The general wants to check Xiao Han's properties and cooperative merchants in the capital. Please ask Madam to convey this news when she meets Mr. Tang Yu."
"Hey, the general also knows about this person?" Hua Qingxue has heard the name of Mr. Tang Yu frequently recently, but it is difficult to remember it.
Qin Laowu's expression became a little strange: "Who in the capital doesn't know the name of Mr. Tang Yu?"
Um...that's the sentence again.
"But I don't know, and I haven't heard Li Jingnan mention it. Li Jingnan is a true Shengjing native, right?" Hua Qingxue retorted with an example. It was reasonable that she didn't know.
Qin Laowu's face was complicated for a moment, and he was twitching violently: "Madam, that is the Emperor you are talking about! The Emperor!" That is an ordinary person, and Madam, you are not an ordinary person... Of course you don't need to know.
Ah!
Qin Laowu roared silently.
"Okay, what you said makes sense. I can mention it when the time comes, but I can't guarantee whether the other party is willing to do it. It sounds like the favor you asked me to do is not that easy to do."
Hua Qingxue was telling the truth. People who do business are most honest. No matter what kind of relationship Xiao Han has with Mr. Tang Yu, it will not be a hostile relationship, or they have cooperated, or they may be familiar with each other.
It is quite difficult to be a stranger and ask people to betray your acquaintances at every turn.
Moreover, if forced in the name of Fu Tingye, it would feel a bit like forcing a good girl into prostitution.
"Madam is very resourceful, and she often helped the general resolve countless problems when she was on the front line. I believe she can do the same this time." Qin Laowu flattered the people on the sidelines, but the flattery was too purposeful.
Hua Qingxue smiled: "Don't put your hat on me here. I can only say that I will try my best, but I'm not good at forcing others to agree to this kind of thing."
Qin Laowu was frustrated for a moment, and then changed his strategy: "Please, madam, this matter is very important to the general. If you can't do it, it will be difficult." After saying that, he sighed deliberately, full of suspense.
Hua Qingxue really took the bait: "What will you do if you can't do it?"
"Alas!" Qin Laowu said with a sad face: "If I can't do it, then I will be beaten."
This... this, this, this.
Hua Qingxue couldn't hold back and laughed: "Anyway, it's not me who's getting hit."
Madam, your kindness has fallen to the ground.
Qin Laowu suddenly felt hopeless. The wife who shared the same difficulties and never forgot to cooperate with him in escaping has disappeared. Is the one in front of me a fake, made by Nuwa out of mud? No, no, no, they are the last ones painted with wicker...
Hua Qingxue couldn't help laughing when she looked at his appearance. After laughing enough, she said: "Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you. But you have to tell me, why did the general want to check Xiao Han's property in Shengjing?" Is it possible that you still want to annex it?"
Why is the madam so smart? Qin Laowu's heart sounded an alarm.
Hua Qingxue's prying has reached the limit that Fu Tingye reminded him when he ordered her. Madam must not be allowed to know that Xiao Han may be in Shengjing and we are arresting him.
Otherwise, I don’t even know why I was killed by the general.
However, how to answer now, Qin Laowu found that he had a kind of sincerity that came out of his mouth when facing his benefactor.
But in the end, he found an excuse to convince Hua Qingxue without letting himself take the blame.
"How about Madam ask the general in person." After Qin Laowu finished speaking, he hurriedly left: "Ah, there are still things in the army, please leave first, leave."
Hua Qingxue looked at his back as if he was running away with his tail between his legs, and said with emotion: "He's running so fast."
