Chapter 97 Too Silly and Too Naive(1/2)

Deng Shaotong hid in Yunxiashan Farm Village.

Of course, what he said was that he was ordered to visit Mr. Zhang and Ye Ci, explain the reason for the marriage, and make corresponding compensation.

Ye Ci circled around him twice, "Why don't I believe you?"

Deng Shaotong smiled awkwardly, "Miss Ye is telling a joke again."

"Your master is a smiling tiger, selling people while smiling. You have been with him for so many years. As the saying goes, those who are close to black are black and those who are close to red are red. You are definitely not a good person. I can't believe what you said.

I'm afraid I'll be betrayed by you."

"Miss Ye loves to joke. You are now the fiancée of His Majesty Prince Ding and the future Princess Ding. Even if you give me a hundred courages, I would not dare to sell you out."

"Bah! You are an old man."

Ye Ci stared, she was obviously a little girl, okay?

Deng Shaotong quickly explained, "This is our family's respect. Of course, if Miss Ye doesn't like it, I will keep my mouth shut in the future."

snort!

Ye Ci sneered, "The imperial edict said that Wuqing County and the neighboring Fengyi County were given to Prince Ding as fiefs. Is this true?"

"It's true! It's absolutely true! Our family also came to see Miss Ye after confirming the reliability of this news."

"In other words, Yunxia Mountain will be under the rule of King Ding from now on?"

"Exactly! However, Miss Ye, don't worry. You will be Princess Ding from now on, and you will have the final say over the entire fiefdom. This is also what His Highness means. His Highness has said that he will give the entire fiefdom to you as a betrothal gift, and it is up to you to plan it.

Management, this is his sincerity. I hope Miss Ye will not dislike it."

Hahaha……

Ye Ci laughed loudly, "You underestimate me too much. How can I dislike the territory of just two counties?"

Two counties, it’s so exciting.

dislike?

That is impossible.

It is impossible to dislike it in this life.

She has distributed so much territory, hahaha...

But... do you think that using the territory of two counties can eliminate the anger in her heart? It would be too underestimated.

She is not easily bribed.

Well, I don’t even think about who smiled and readily agreed when they heard about the territory of the two counties.

This is typical duplicity.

She coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness is not sincere enough!"

"Miss Ye is not satisfied? But, Miss Ye was clearly very satisfied just now!" Deng Shaotong blinked and reminded the other party that he had seen everything, so don't try to deceive him.

Ye Ci snorted coldly, "Which of your eyes is satisfied to see this girl? I just smile casually, my own territory, even a smile is not enough? Eunuch Deng, you have always been prejudiced against me, and you still have this attitude until now.

.It’s really chilling.

Don’t forget that it was me, the evil star, who saved the Queen and your highness. If there was no evil star, how would your highness escape? How would you save the siege?"

Deng Shaotong was choked and explained with a guilty conscience: "Miss Ye, don't get me wrong, we are just joking. If Miss Ye wants anything else, just ask."

"Let me ask you, where will Prince Ding's palace be built?"

"Unsurprisingly, it should be the county seat of Wuqing County, or the county seat of Fengyi County. Considering that the terminal is in Shuanghe Town, it is very likely that it will be located in the county seat of Wuqing County."

"If the palace is built in Wuqing County, then the official road from Wuqing County to Shuanghe Town will be renovated and widened, right?"

"Of course! Shuanghe Town Wharf Gate is the main source of taxation. This is a financial source that the future palace must capture and firmly control."

"Then do you know how to master Shuanghe Town Chaoguan?" Ye Ci asked with a smile.

Deng Shaotong didn't know how to run a business, but he knew how to employ people. "Select capable people to work for His Highness. As long as they keep an eye on the bank accounts and count the cargo of passing ships, not a penny of tax money will be lost."

Ye Ci laughed, laughing at Deng Shaotong for being too stupid and naive, for thinking too simplistically about paying customs officials at the wharf.

But she didn't say clearly that it wasn't yet time.

The real owner is not here, so talking too much is nonsense.

"You stay in Zhuangzi first, and then go back to the capital when the wind calms down. Do you dare to go back to the capital? Will you be beaten by the emperor's eldest son's men as soon as you enter the city gate, and die in a back alley, even in front of the murderer?

Haven’t seen any.”

Ye Ci's words are indeed a bit scary.

Deng Shaotong trembled, "Miss Ye, please don't scare our family. Our family is the most useful person around the prince. The eldest son of the prince..."

Ye Ci sneered, "Are you trying to say that he doesn't dare? If you are a chamberlain, he will kill you. Even if the Jinwu Guards are dispatched, they won't be able to find him.

Besides, it is impossible for the Jinwu Guards to be dispatched for your death. People are busy ransacking your home every day, so how can they care about your life and death.

As for your Highness, he is about to be kicked out of the capital. As the saying goes, which yamen in the capital will pay attention to a prince who has fallen from power?"

Deng Shaotong was bald, "According to Miss Ye, our family will definitely die when we return to the capital?"

"Exactly! What did your Highness give you when you left the capital?"

"Your Highness asked our family to do everything according to the instructions of Mr. Zhang and Miss Ye."

"Then you stay in Zhuangzi and don't go back to the capital. I'm going to ship some goods in a while, so I can use your identity to pressure a few people for me."

Ye Ci arranged all the uses of Deng Shaotong.

People who come from the palace, this status is still very useful in the local area.

Not to mention businessmen, even officials would not easily offend people from the palace. If someone went directly to Tianting, and a letter would reveal the messy affairs in the place to the emperor, then everyone would be in trouble.

.

Therefore, everyone from the officialdom to the private sector would keep a respectful distance from anyone who came from the palace, and would never offend easily.

During the time that Deng Shaotong lived in Zhuangzi, of course he could not just live a leisurely life, but must make use of it to shine.

When Deng Shaotong saw Mr. Zhang, his first words were: "Sir, he looks really good. He has a little more flesh on his face. He is at least ten years younger than when he was in the capital."

Mr. Zhang likes to hear this.

He stroked his beard and said, "Yunxia Mountain is really a blessed place. When I get here, I feel relaxed all over, my sleep has also improved, and my muscles and bones have become stronger."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Congratulations, sir. So Yunxia Mountain is really a good place to retire."

"Exactly. Little Ye Zi is right. Since you are here, don't go back to the capital. Anyway, His Highness Prince Ding will leave the capital next year at the latest and join the feudal clan."

"I'm afraid that the young master is unwilling to give enough money to establish a feudal lordship. Sir, you also know that your majesty is really fussy about money."

"If the money is not enough, then I will issue an IOU. No matter what, the Shaofu will drive His Royal Highness Prince Ding out of the capital within the time limit, so you can rest assured."

Why!

Deng Shaotong sighed, "My Highness is really unpopular with His Majesty. He is obviously a direct descendant, and his talents and intelligence are among the best among many princes. Why can't he please His Majesty?"

"Because Prince Ding came out of Queen Zhang's belly. Anyone who gets close to Queen Zhang will not be liked by Your Majesty."

Mr. Zhang obviously knows a little bit about the inside story.

Deng Shaotong was extremely depressed. He picked up his wine glass and poured his own wine without any hesitation.

He truly felt aggrieved for His Highness. There were many parents who were biased, but it was rare to be biased toward Emperor Chengyuan Kangdi.

If we say that Prince Ding Liu Heng was born from the womb of a palace maid, it is understandable that he would not be welcomed. However, if he was born from the womb of a queen, he would not be welcomed, which is very dissatisfying.

Instead of caring about the son born by his first wife, he would care for the son born by his concubine. This has been criticized in every dynasty and in every generation.

What is the first wife and the first wife? Those who live and die in the same cave and are buried together after death are called husband and wife. A concubine will always be a concubine, so that is not called a husband and wife.

Emperor Yuan Kang clearly acted randomly and disturbed his legitimate concubines.

certainly……

Emperor Yuan Kang was not a legitimate son in the first place. He himself was a concubine who came to power, so it was not surprising that he did not want to see his legitimate son.

Deng Shaotong, perhaps because he had drunk too much, suddenly asked something treacherous, "Based on your knowledge, sir, does my Highness still have a chance to be crowned the Great Treasurer?"

Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "No one can say for sure until the end. However, given His Highness Guanding Wang's recent behavior, there may be a chance."

"really?"

Mr. Zhang said softly: "It depends on whether his life is tough enough, whether his luck is good enough, and whether God is willing to help him. Come on, come on, let me count them for you. Apart from His Highness Prince Ding, there are still about ten princes left.

.

Assume that Your Majesty still has twenty years of good life, by which time the youngest prince will have reached adulthood, and the eldest son will have reached middle age. At that time, there will be many variables.

Every adult prince has the opportunity to compete for the position of crown prince. If His Highness wants to stand out from so many princes, he must find a way to return to the capital. Think about the difficulty for yourself.

In addition, if more princes are born in the past twenty years, the competition will be even greater. The older people are, the more they like Yao'er, especially the old one, you know! What if His Majesty is here..."

Mr. Zhang pointed to the head and continued: "If there is something wrong with His Majesty's brain and he wants to leave the throne to Yao'er, then all the adult princes will die, and their blood will be used to pave the way for Yao'er. Your Highness

There will be no exception.”
