Chapter 356 Stingy

After nearly half a month of delay, Yuan Youren was finally willing to sit down with Zhang Wulang and have a serious talk.

"The imperial court cannot tolerate me. Mr. Zhang, tell me, what should I do?"

Zhang Wulang coughed lightly and said after careful consideration: "Most of the court officials are so-called moral gentlemen who cannot see others being different from themselves. What they pursue is to live in harmony with the light. These people are all ordinary people. You don't have to be like this."

They are generally knowledgeable.”

Yuan Youren smiled half-heartedly, "These ordinary people hold the power of life and death. As long as they make a noise, not even Your Majesty can do anything to them."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this group of people. The imperial court cannot tolerate it, but your Majesty can tolerate it. Your Majesty and the Queen want to protect one person, so I don't believe anyone would dare to fight against them."

"Cui Daqi is dead! He was beaten to death by the crowd. I feel deeply sorry for him. Cui Daqi has served the country well and will die when he wants. What does Mr. Zhang say?"

"This is different! Master Cui's incident happened so suddenly that His Majesty has not yet turned his attention to Jiangnan. However, Your Majesty, the whole world is paying attention here. His Majesty sent me here. This is the greatest sincerity."

Yuan Youren sneered, "It's true that you are His Majesty's companion. But you are also a descendant of the Zhang family. His Majesty promised Nanzhao to the Zhang family. You Zhang family can't wait any longer!"

Zhang Wulang said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you are wrong! Nanzhao is a barbaric land, and the imperial officials regard it as a dangerous place. They have always regarded Nanzhao as a place of exile. Your Majesty handed Nanzhao over to the Zhang family, not so much as a generous reward, but as a place of exile."

It's not that he's trying to avoid trouble. Or to put it another way, he's just calling him an old scalper.

We, the Zhang family, are the old scalpers of the royal family, pioneering the wilderness of Nanzhao for the royal family. After a few decades, when Nanzhao becomes rich and has a large population, the royal family will send people to pick peaches. In the end, we, the Zhang family, are the most pitiable.

, I am always making wedding clothes for others."

"Old scalper, this statement is quite novel. This dynasty treats foreign relatives well, but strictly guards against foreign relatives. Speaking of which, I can barely be regarded as a foreign relative, and I can also be regarded as one of the objects to be strictly guarded against. Come, I would like to give Mr. Zhang a drink

, cheers to the shared fate.”

"cheers!"

The two raised their glasses and drank.

Yuan Youren put down his wine glass and laughed, "It is not difficult for me to hand over my military power. All I need is your Majesty to issue a decree to give me an official status, and then hand over all the Jinwu Guards in the south to my command. After that, I will

The officer will hand over his military power and go to work at the Royal Bank."

"this……"

Zhang Wulang frowned, "May I ask, sir, what you mean by the Jinwu Guards in the south..."

"The Jinwu Guards of the Four Prefectures and Eighteen Prefectures."

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to ask the capital for instructions."

"Of course. Come on, come on, drink!"

…

The capital finally bids farewell to the severe cold and enters spring when flowers bloom.

However, after Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng received Zhang Wulang's secret letter, his mood suddenly fell into the cold winter.

He took the secret letter and went to Weiyang Palace to meet Queen Ye Ci.

"This is the person you said is available. He dares to open his mouth and open his mouth to the four states and eighteen prefectures. Yuan Youren is ignorant and arrogant. He thought that the late emperor is now sitting on the throne, allowing him to take whatever he wants. How can this be unreasonable! I will punish him.

capital offense."

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng was so angry that he walked around the hall and glared at Ye Ci several times: Look at the person you chose, what the hell.

Ye Ci picked up the letter and read it from cover to cover, "How could His Majesty get so angry over such a trivial matter? You like to get angry too much! Anger hurts the liver, so this is not good."

"You call this a trivial matter? Do you call this a trivial matter in the Four Prefectures and Eighteen Prefectures?" Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng asked repeatedly.

Ye Ci coughed lightly, "Isn't it a small matter? It's a big deal. Negotiation is nothing more than asking for a high price and paying back the money. If you're not afraid of Yuan Youren's price, you're afraid that he won't. If he raises a price, it proves that he doesn't want to rebel. He wants to negotiate. This

That’s a good thing!

He wanted the four states and eighteen mansions, so His Majesty would give Zhang Wulang a bottom-line price and let them negotiate. Besides, the Jinwu Guards in those places in the south were weak in power and had no airs but could do everything.

No. Yuan Youren wants to take over Jinwu Guard's role and do something, so let him go. Are you still worried that he won't use Jinwu Guard to rebel?"

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng glared, "You think I'm making a fuss."

Look down on him so much, huh!

Ye Ci rolled his eyes, "It's just a fuss. As long as it's not a rebellion, everything can't be called a big deal, it's all a trivial matter. Things like bargaining are even more trivial among trivial things. In other words, you are rare and strange. Alas, still

Because you have been the emperor for too short a period of time and have seen too little, you are the one who makes noises whenever something happens."

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng: "..."

I feel very depressed.

The queen actually complained that he was an ignorant person.

That’s not true!

He is a majestic emperor, why don't he have any knowledge?

He kept snorting and had an evil look in his eyes.

Ye Ci pursed his lips and smiled, "Are you angry? Really angry."

"Of course I am really angry. Could it be that my anger is fake? Why don't I have any knowledge? Why do I have so much knowledge? I am nervous about military and national affairs. This is a sign of diligence and love for the people. How can I say it to you?

It becomes ignorant.”

"Yes, yes, you are knowledgeable. I made a mistake." Ye Ci quickly admitted his mistake to avoid the other party's reluctance.

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng snorted again, "Speak clearly. In your mind, am I ignorant? Am I rare and strange?"

"No!" Ye Ci quickly surrendered.

A stinky man just loves face.

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng sat next to her, "You are just perfunctory with me, and you are not sincere at all. If you really realize your mistake, you should take the initiative to comfort me."

"It's not enough for me to admit my mistake, I need to be comforted!"

Queen Ye Ci joked.

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng chuckled twice and rolled his eyes to the sky.

Ye Ci suppressed a smile and said, "Are you embarrassed to let me, a pregnant woman, comfort you?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I have nothing to be embarrassed about. We are one husband and wife, and I am not happy. Shouldn't you comfort me?"

"Okay, okay! How can I comfort you?" Queen Ye Ci also had a headache, "Why don't you ask the imperial dining room to prepare a heavy-flavored dish, and we can have a few drinks."

"You can't drink."

"Oh, you are so annoying. I order you not to be angry and give me a smile."

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng grinned, and his smile was uglier than crying. Ye Ci couldn't help laughing loudly, and even slapped the table.

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng: "..."

His face couldn't hold back any longer, and he started laughing. But he couldn't bear to accept it, so he hugged Ye Ci and nibbled on her face.

"Wrong, right, wrong, right?"

Ye Ci avoided his mouth and nodded, "Wrong, wrong. My good majesty, please let me go quickly. I almost burst out laughing."

The two of them quarreled for a while, but finally they had laughed enough.

Now Ye Ci's hair was messed up and his makeup was messed up.

The palace maid redressed her, and she said to Emperor Cheng Liu Heng, "The puppy is chewing."

"I am a puppy, and you are also a puppy." Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng bared his teeth at her.

Ye Ci: "..."

How childish!

After rearranging his makeup, Ye Ci asked him, "Am I beautiful?"

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng said with a smile on his face, "First of all, admit that you have been coveting my beauty since the first time we met. I will tell you whether I am beautiful or not."

Pooh!

Ye Ci was determined not to be fooled, "When we first met, you were not pretty at all. A bean sprout is not as tall as me."

"Nonsense! I was taller than you when we first met, and now I'm even a head taller than you."

When it comes to height and reputation, Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng will definitely fight for it.

Not only must we fight for it, but we must also get Ye Ci to admit it.

You can say he is ugly, but you cannot say he is short.

Height is related to a man's dignity and cannot be compromised at all.

Ye Ci snorted, "I showed your height when we first met. You must be shorter than me."

"You're talking nonsense again! You showed your height, but I'm obviously a little taller than you."

"Okay, okay, even if they are the same height."

"Obviously taller than you."

"Okay, okay, you are taller than me."

Kaicheng Emperor Liu Heng was satisfied and extremely proud.

"Don't say I'm shorter than you next time!"

Ye Ci looked dumbfounded, "As for that? How many years have passed and you still care!"

"I always remember that you said I was a bean sprout."

"Then I won't call you a bean sprout, I'll call you a bamboo pole. You clearly said you didn't mind at the beginning, but you didn't expect that you remembered it today. You're stingy!"
