Qichunnian was summoned to the palace, questioned about the king's manor, and received extremely severe criticism.
"Your Majesty, I don't know about this matter. The headquarters has no relevant information to tell me. I have no idea at all."
Qichunnian said with a blank look on his face, and then he felt ecstatic in his heart, "King's Manor, hahaha, the owner of the manor has finally figured it out and finally knows how to do it to maximize benefits? Good thing, this is definitely a good thing."
.
"If you don't know, then you go ask, it's best to ask Xu Yuan, what does he mean? Are you planning to break your promise and betray your promise?" Zhu Youjian said with a cold face.
"Okay, I'll ask."
Qichunnian had no choice but to act as an intermediary liaison and sent an emergency telegram to Harbor City to help convey Zhu Youjian's dissatisfaction and protest.
In the afternoon of the same day, Harbor City headquarters sent a reply, and Qichunnian brought it to Zhu Youjian.
The reply was relatively short, with only one line: The King's Manor is experimental in nature and has no other intentions. It may be suitable for small countries, but it will never be implemented in the Ming Dynasty. Don't worry.
But Zhu Youjian still found it difficult to be satisfied and could not be relieved of his anxiety.
He said secretly: "Xu Yuan, you told me not to worry, don't I feel anxious? How do I know what you are thinking in your heart?"
Of course, Zhu Youjian also knew that Xu Yuan was not from overseas, but came from a magical place called the Fairyland. He had to stay in the Fairyland for at least four or five months every year. For a long time, he could not stay in the Fairyland.
The Ming Dynasty established a rotating governance system to prevent anyone from becoming a powerful minister and having to hand over part of the decision-making power to Fang Qingyan, a woman who was a concubine. It can be said that it was a random arrangement with huge hidden dangers.
However, this also determines that such Xu Yuan is unlikely to usurp the throne and become the emperor. The emperor ignores government affairs for three to five months every year. This situation is unimaginable and will definitely cause huge problems and give many people
Careerists take advantage of this opportunity and find it difficult to maintain the stability of the empire.
Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that Xu Yuan would rebel and ascend the throne.
Xu Yuan will not be rebellious, but when he gets old, will his son be able to endure the temptation, won't take that step, and won't covet that supreme right?
No guarantee.
There is no guarantee at all whether figures like Sima Zhao will appear among Xu Yuan's descendants.
Perhaps how long the Ming Dynasty has left depends on how long Xu Yuan can live. Maybe after he leaves, there will be a dozen or so 'King Manors' rising up in the Ming Dynasty.
Or it could be replaced by a larger 'Emperor's Manor'.
How can this be avoided.
Emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan.
After much deliberation, Zhu Youjian believed that the only character who could break the situation was the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan.
Privately, Zhu Youjian also discussed with Empress Zhou n times, thinking that as long as the emperor's sister-in-law is willing to help and use the beauty trick to win over the lustful Xu Yuan, the royal family will have a lot more room for maneuver and gain more
The interests may even make Xujiazhuang no longer a threat (although this probability is extremely small).
Moreover, in the eyes of Zhu Youjian and Queen Zhou, the threat and destructive power of Fang Qingyan is far greater than that of Xu Yuan. On the one hand, while Xu Yuan is away from Xujiazhuang, Fang Qingyan has the ability to make temporary decisions.
, and she has a strong and selfish personality, is stingy, and is not very friendly to the royal family and has a certain amount of hostility.
Secondly, Fang Qingyan's son Xu Jiaguang is the eldest son of Xu Yuan, and is also the default first heir of the Xu Family Village. There is a high probability that he will inherit the position of the owner of the village in the future, and all children are susceptible to their mother's influence.
influence, or do things according to mother's opinions.
Xu Yuan is now thirty-five years old, ten years older than Fang Qingyan, and women tend to live longer than men, so there is a high probability that Xu Yuan will not survive Fang Qingyan. When Xu Yuan is gone, Fang Qingyan will be like Empress Lu
This character will definitely take action against the royal family, show his ferocious side, and even take away the royal family altogether, let his son Xu Jiaguang ascend to the throne, and establish the Xu family dynasty...
That is, Fang Qingyan has become the biggest threat to the royal family. If no one checks and balances this woman, the fate of the royal family is almost certain.
This time, the negotiation with Qichunnian failed to achieve any results. There was only a light "Don't worry" to comfort him. Zhu Youjian was not willing to give up, so he continued to question and annoy the other party, so he
All we can do is suppress the anxiety in our hearts and maintain a wait-and-see mentality.
In addition, it was not easy for him to persuade the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan, because he had already tried to persuade her dozens of times, but to no avail. If he dared to persuade her more, Zhang Yan might take extreme actions in a minute, such as hanging a white silk ribbon, asking for poisonous wine, etc.
Yes, it has the meaning of dying to make one's ambition clear.
I can only talk and complain to Queen Zhou in private, pouring out my inner bitterness.
"Zitong, it's too difficult for me. Those who can help me have to pay a price of one kind or another. In the end, I may not be the one who earns the money. But the people I want to help me are obsessed with tradition and are unwilling to help me.
Hey, what's the fun in being an emperor? It's better to be an ordinary rich man." Zhu Youjian hugged Queen Zhou's delicate body and said.
"Does Your Majesty want to talk about the emperor's sister-in-law?" Zhou Yufeng asked.
"Is it useful to say what I say? If I dare to persuade again, I accidentally kill someone and spread the word, where will I put my old face?" Zhu Youjian said.
"The emperor's sister-in-law is heartbroken. It's useless for me to persuade her. Besides, she doesn't pay much attention to me now. The emperor's sister-in-law has also sworn more than once that even if she dies, she will not become the first queen in history to remarry a businessman.
We cannot discredit the Zhu family royal family and become a person who will be infamy for thousands of years." Zhou Yufeng said.
"In this era, we still care about the evaluation of history books, but now people care more about the evaluation in newspapers!" Zhu Youjian shook his head.
"Your Majesty, if the royal family's dilemma requires the help of the royal sister-in-law, I have a solution here that is not a solution."
Zhou Yufeng suddenly gritted her teeth and a plan came into her mind.
"What method?" Zhu You asked.
"Send the imperial sister-in-law to Xujiazhuang, and let her stay in Harbor City from now on. She does not have to return to the capital. As for the name of staying there, she can help take care of Cixi, Yuluo and others who are studying there, or she can
It was to better negotiate with Xujiazhuang. In short, after the emperor's sister-in-law arrived in Harbor City, she could not be allowed to come back and create opportunities for Xu Yuan to get close to and pursue the emperor's wife. The so-called love will last for a long time, as long as they stay in contact for a long time.
, the emperor's sister-in-law is just like a stone, she will melt sooner or later."
Zhou Yufeng said.
"Isn't this just a plan to take the stairs upstairs?"
Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up, as bright as two light bulbs, and he clapped his hands repeatedly and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, as long as the emperor's wife is sent to Xujiazhuang and placed in Xu Yuan's mouth, will he still be able to resist eating? I'm afraid
It's like turning into a bird... Ahem, anyway, this is a brilliant plan. As long as we think of various ways and reasons to prevent the emperor's sister-in-law from returning to Beijing, even if she resists and struggles very much, after a long time, she can only accept the reality.
In addition, Xu Yuan should also seize this opportunity, work hard and sincerely, and win the emperor's wife as soon as possible."
In Zhu Youjian's mind, he also had dirty thoughts: With Xu Yuan's lecherousness, which is no less than mine, facing the thirty-one-year-old emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan, who is already cooked to the core, how can Xu Yuan hold back and not pounce on her?
Go up? And the more the emperor's wife struggles and resists, the better. For a man like Xu Yuan, prey that is too easy to obtain will not be cherished. There is no sense of accomplishment. Only a concubine is worse than stealing, and stealing is worse than not being able to steal. Only then can Xu Yuan be allowed to
I will never tire of pursuing this.
Haha, you are also a man, Xu Yuan, please stop pretending, I don’t understand you yet?
Ahem~
Zhu Youjian coughed twice quickly to expel these dirty thoughts from his mind.
But the kind-hearted queen Zhou Yufeng was still a little worried and said: "The emperor's sister-in-law is a strong-willed person. If we do this, if the emperor's sister-in-law refuses to fight to the death, and Xu Yuan behaves harshly, the overlord will force the emperor's sister-in-law to leave."
What should we do if we reach a dead end? Then we are her murderers, or we should forget it."
"Then we have to do more ideological work for the emperor's wife, and on the other hand we have to remind and warn Na Xuyuan to be more polite and polite. He must not act roughly without the emperor's wife's consent. Everything must be done naturally. If
If something unexpected happened and the emperor's sister-in-law was killed, I will destroy Xu Yuan's reputation!" Zhu Youjian said with an evil look on his face.
Zhou Yufeng couldn't help but nodded: "In short, we still need to communicate more, keep in touch frequently, and slowly let the emperor's wife accept the status quo."
So in the whispers of the couple.
A conspiracy that is about to change the fate of Queen Yi'an, no, it should be decided for her to arrange a good blind date.
But in the specific implementation process.
Zhu Youjian was cautious and did not directly contact the commercial representative Qi Chunnian this time. He asked him to send a telegram to ask Xu Yuan directly. This was too low security. Instead, Fang Qingyan might learn about it, and a conspiracy turned into a
Bubble.
He changed his contact information and ordered Shen Tie, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, to send out a number of elite Jinyiwei and have them ride bicycles, travel by road at a speed of five to six hundred miles a day, and go to Xujiazhuang Harbor City to find the liaison representative of the royal family.
Father-in-law Feng Jiuying asked Feng Jiuying to ask Xu Yuan to see him alone, presented him with a secret letter written by Zhu Youjian, and asked Xu Yuan what he thought, should he agree or not?
The entire contact process takes at least four or five days, and the efficiency is quite slow. However, for the sake of confidentiality and the interests of the royal family, even if it is a little slower and the waiting time for a reply is longer, it is very worthwhile and necessary. It also means contacting the eunuch Feng Jiuying.
This chess piece was put to good use and finally came in handy.
August 18th, early morning.
Emperor Zhu Youjian's autographed letter was carried by the most loyal guards, and they immediately rode their bicycles to Xujiazhuang.
As for the protagonist, Queen Yi'an, Zhang Yan, was completely kept in the dark. She didn't know that she had become a bargaining chip that had been taken out by the royal family.
