Chapter 958 Compensation

There was only the emperor in the political hall, and the prince was not there. Eunuch Liu withdrew. After Zhou Shuren greeted him, he glanced at the messy notes on the table, and his heart was deep. The emperor was not in a beautiful mood!

The emperor signaled Zhou Shuren to sit down, "Have you met King Qi and King Chu in a row these days?"

When Zhou Shuren heard this, the emperor was indeed the most suspicious person. The King of Qi had many plans. When the King of Qi came a few more times, he might have lost his trust in the emperor. He admitted generously: "Yes, the King of Qi told me that he was not sent to assassinate me, and he also hinted that the King of Qi knew who did it. The King of Qi invited me to have tea, but I refused."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhou Shuren to say generously, "The King of Qi is my son."

Are you not afraid that I will be biased towards my son, and I believe in him more?

Zhou Shuren understood the emperor's secret meaning, "I am the emperor's minister. The emperor will definitely tell me everything I ask, and I will never hide anything from the emperor."

The emperor looked at Zhou Shuren's eyes. The old fox really saw sincerity in his eyes. He was a little afraid of this old fox, especially the old fox who had strong desire to protect his short-term security. He had been staring at Zhou's mansion in the past two days. He knew that Zhou Shuren had no reaction at all, and he had met the second and third brother one after another, so he had to think about it.

This is why today's question came about, and the emperor withdrew his gaze, "What did the third brother say to you again?"

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart, "The King of Chu asked me about my son and told me to keep my eyes open. The King of Chu thought that the King of Qi and me said something."

This time, Zhou Shuren looked at the emperor and heard the emperor's humming softly, Zhou Shuren knew that it was not the King of Chu. The emperor's humming softly because the King of Chu was not a thief, but had an excessive reaction, so it was King of Liang. It was also true that King of Liang had a very strong momentum this year, and with the fact that he had flattered a lot, he was a little too fluttering. He could flap his wings, but he was the most courageous.

Zhou Shuren touched the jade pendant on his waist. King Liang was always brave. When Zhang Jinghong was still a fake fifth prince, King Liang was the emperor's youngest son. He curled his lips in his heart. He had the chance to inherit the throne when the royal son and the illegitimate son of the royal family were given the opportunity to inherit the throne.

The emperor knew what the third brother said, but he didn't know what the second brother said. There was no one around them at that time. Zhou Shuren was an old fox. With the words of his two sons, the old fox must have a clear idea in his mind. Just like Ning Xu, why did Ning Xu not make trouble? Because he also guessed who did it.

The emperor pulled the bracelet, "I heard from Rong Chuan that your third son wants to be sent out of Beijing?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes, I have come up step by step, so I hope Changlian can also walk down to earth. Although I am more lucky, Changlian is not bad either. He has me, the father, who can block the rain."

Zhou Shuren said it bluntly, even if he didn’t say it, it was a fact. Didn’t the father just support his son?

The emperor paused, always feeling that Zhou Shuren's words were on his finger, "The coastal states have developed very quickly in the past two years."

Zhou Shuren felt aroused that he did develop very quickly, and the better he developed, the more he could achieve political achievements. "Indeed, it can be seen from the tax revenue of each state."

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

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

This is compensation. It is better to have compensation than not. He also wants to thank King Qi and King Chu. If it weren't for the trouble, the emperor would not have summoned him, especially to ignore Queen Chang Lian.

The emperor smiled, "You really understand how you live."

Zhou Shuren's heart moved, "I am the pillar of the family. I am carrying a family, so I naturally have to live a clear life."

He will definitely live longer than the emperor, and he will wait for the prince to ascend the throne.

In the temple, the queen had already prayed for blessings first. There were many steps in the temple. The princesses were very embarrassed and were so tired that they did not dare to fall behind. They had to kneel down when praying for blessings, and the princesses were a little shaking.

Xuehan felt like she was sitting in pins and needles. Her position was in front of several princesses. Although she was behind the crown princess and several princesses, her position was incorrect.

The queen felt Xuehan's uneasiness, opened her eyes, "Calm down."

Xuehan hurriedly closed his eyes, recited the scriptures silently in his heart, recited them over and over again, and slowly calmed down.

The queen was very satisfied, but the princess was muttering in her heart that the queen liked Miss Zhou too much, so she actually took her to pray for blessings.

Princess Qi was so angry that her teeth were itchy. The Queen deliberately said that the Queen would practice martial arts in the palace. Even if she was old, her body was still very good and she would not breathe too much when she went up the steps. They were different. Even if she burned incense, she would walk slowly. She walked so fast that her chest was now hurt.

Princess Qi looked at the lady of the Zhou family again, what does the Empress mean?

The Princess Chu and Princess Liang are not much better. They are both weak ladies from the family. It's summer again, and the makeup on their faces is exhausted.

After another half an hour, Zhulan thought to herself that the knees of ancient people were not knees. Even if there was a cushion, her knees were very uncomfortable. She was already sitting on her heels, and her knees were not standard at all.

The queen stood up first, and then the Crown Princess. Xuehan was confused. The Crown Princess pulled Xuehan, but Xuehan had never kneeled for so long, but now he was panicked and ignored his legs.

Xuehan looked at the princesses and silently looked away. The princesses' makeup was so ugly that they looked very ugly.

The Crown Princess also wanted to laugh. She was not from a military general, but in order to cater to the preferences of her mother, she also practiced it, so she really didn't think much about going up the steps. She thought of Miss Zhou again. It seems that Miss Zhou had practiced it.

The queen didn't even see the princess and others, and walked out with steps, and the officials and their families also stood up one after another.

The queen first chatted with the officials of several important officials, and after all the people who should be taken care of were taken care of, she said, "Yang Shuren comes up."

Zhulan thought to herself that she had been nervous and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Empress."

The queen personally helped her, "Quickly and exempted the gift. The emperor often asked the third son of the Zhou family in front of me. The children taught by Shuren are very outstanding. I like Xuehan very much. In the future, Shuren will go to the palace to chat with me."

Zhulan thought to herself that she guessed it right. Today, the Queen organized a prayer organized by Rongchuan and the Zhou family. The former officials and relatives of the fourth rank of the capital have all arrived. The Queen's words raised the Zhou family and also raised her. She felt warm in her heart, "As long as the Queen does not dislike her, her wife will definitely enter the palace more often."

The Empress smiled, "I don't dislike you, I'm worried that no one will chat."

This is interesting. Does the queen lack people to chat? It’s not too short of them? How many officials want to fall into the queen’s eyes, but unfortunately the queen rarely summons the officials.

The queen said something about everyone, and Zhou Yang was valued by her.

In the capital, Zhulan has indeed received a lot of respect by relying on Zhou Shuren, but the officials of the great families still look down on Zhulan. If the queen is the one who says she will not be blatantly looking down on her in the future.
