Chapter 99 Who else would you rather me?(1/2)
How can Empress Zhang rest assured?
Whenever she thinks about Tiansha Lone Star marrying her precious son in the future, she becomes worried and has trouble sleeping and eating.
It was such a lone star of evil that even the emperor was afraid to avoid it and wanted to drive Liu Heng out of the capital before the wedding.
To put it bluntly, if you believe it, you have it, if you don’t believe it, you don’t have it.
Whether they believe it or not, most people would rather believe it. Even those who talk nonsense would not dare to be in the same room as the evil star.
People can't always have everything they want.
Once things go wrong, I will inevitably think more about it, is it the evil star that is trying to defeat me?
Just like Empress Zhang, it's impossible for her not to think more about what she's been through in the past six months. After being arrogant for so many years, why did she capsize in the gutter when her son came back from Yunxia Mountain?
"You still need to be careful about your marriage." Queen Zhang was a little reserved.
"Does the queen really think that she can regret her marriage? Don't say that her son won't agree. Even my father will not be able to pass this test."
"Your father always changes his mind."
Liu Heng shook his head, "There is no need to mention this matter again."
Empress Zhang narrowed her eyes slightly, "You kid, you didn't plan to marry Ye Ci from the beginning, right? Did your father ask for a decree to grant the marriage? Are you just going along with the flow?"
The more she talked, the more suspicious she became, and the angrier she became.
She controlled her anger and continued to ask: "Have you really developed feelings for Ye Ci? What good is she so that you should defend her at all times?"
"She is my son's fiancée and my mother's future daughter-in-law. It is natural for me to protect her."
It's natural.
"You risked your future for her. This sacrifice is too great."
"The Queen Mother made a mistake about the cause and effect. We were in trouble and had to use her reputation to escape. As for the future, is the Queen Mother sure that I can get it if I stay in the capital?"
"if not?"
Liu Heng said solemnly: "I don't even have the opportunity to go to court to listen to politics, let alone participate in the discussion of politics. The boss, Liu Pu, has no title, and can leave the palace and open a government just as a prince. And I,
You have to find excuses to deal with when you step out of the palace gate.
When I was in the capital, Liu Pu's status was as stable as Mount Tai, and he became more and more favored day by day. Because my father projected all his dissatisfaction and disgust on me. Only when I leave can my father treat every prince fairly.
.
It can be said that my father's preference for Liu Pu is all due to my foil. Without me as a foil, I don't believe Liu Pu can still be as prosperous as he is now.
Just like Concubine Xue, without the support of the queen mother, do you think she can do everything as she pleases? Even the eunuchs in charge of the twenty-four yamen are weighing her worth.
In the past, they were just accomplices wearing a pair of trousers. Once they changed their identities, how many of those eunuchs would really sell her the face of Concubine Xue? It is one thing to support Concubine Xue, but it is another thing to share the profits and convince her to take charge of them.
.
Just like Zhang Wulang, as a rich man, everyone supports him. When he joins the Yamen as an errand, how many people still support his bad feet? You have to see his ability first before deciding which method to use.
Treat him with attitude."
"With one sentence from me, you have ten rebuttals waiting for me. With just one sentence from me, I am not satisfied with Ye Ci, my daughter-in-law."
Princess Xinping was very worried, fearing that the two of them would fall out.
She wanted to persuade her, but neither of them gave her a chance.
Liu Heng was the first to say: "As long as a son marries a wife, no matter who it is, the mother will not be satisfied and will find a lot of faults. This is not only true for the mother, but also for mothers all over the world when it comes to the marriage of their children.
Mother, think about it carefully, which lady in the capital can catch your eye, satisfy you, and really want to marry her as your daughter-in-law?"
Queen Zhang: "..."
There is really no one that can completely satisfy her.
In her eyes, her son is of course a very good son, and no woman in the world is worthy of her good son.
Ye Ci, huh, is even less worthy.
She doesn't deserve to marry into the royal family, let alone become a princess.
However, her precious son was determined to marry her, and she had a headache.
"Mother, you might as well think about it from another perspective. Since your son met Ye Ci, has things gone a lot smoother? At least he is in good health. He doesn't have to worry about his life every day. Moreover, he has also been awarded a title and a king, and he will be able to get it soon.
Just the money from the feudal clan."
hehe!
Empress Zhang sneered, "The young master gave you a 30% discount on the two to three hundred thousand taels of money to start the government, and you still accepted it. Is this called being obedient? Ye Ci saved your life. This kindness is recorded in this palace journal."
In my heart. But it cannot change the fact that she is not worthy of you."
"If the queen mother had met Ye Ci, she might not think so. As for the 30% discount on the money to open the mansion, there is nothing we can do. Expecting the young master to pay the full amount of silver is no less than a daydream."
"The young master is obviously trying to bully you into being weak. If I can step out of Weiyang Palace, I will personally lead people to smash the young master. I want to see if Liu Bao, the master of the young master, dares to
stop."
Everything is hypothetical.
The Shaofu is the private treasury of Emperor Yuan Kang, so how can it be allowed to be smashed at will?
"Don't be angry, Queen Mother, 30% off is enough. Using me as a benchmark, the brothers below will be granted titles and open mansions, and the maximum amount of money to open a mansion will be 60% off."
This is a fact you can guess with your toes.
This is why the concubines are trying to find ways to make money. When their sons leave the palace and open a mansion, they spend money everywhere, but they often fail to count on the emperor. They love their own sons and provide for them.
Queen Zhang is also ready to provide subsidies.
She waved, and Li Shaojian brought a list, "This is what I have prepared for you. The people, animals, mules, horses, and various items on it can be transported to Yunxia Mountain in advance to settle down. In addition, I have also prepared a list for you.
Two ships. I heard that business at Xiashui Wharf in Wuqing County is booming. When you arrive at the fiefdom, you can organize your own manpower to carry out north-south trade.
There are too many places where money is needed to open a palace. Thousands and tens of thousands of people are counting on you for food. No one will listen to you if you don't have money. With ships and trade, part of the palace's expenses can be covered.
Also, whether you want money or food, I just want to give you whatever you want. I can give you one hundred thousand taels of silver, but if you want food, I can only give you three to fifty thousand taels of silver."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Thanks to my mother for your love, my son wants half grain and half silver. I heard that some southern states have suffered from drought this year and grain production has decreased. In the lean season, a lot of grain is needed.
Impact the market.”
Empress Zhang frowned and said sarcastically: "You are really a filial son, taking the food provided by this palace to provide disaster relief to your father."
"It is not disaster relief, but normal trading. It is nothing more than an impact on the market and suppressing the hoarding behavior of some grain merchants."
"Hmph! Do you think your father will be satisfied if you do this? Dream! Your father will only think that you are nosy and meddle in other people's business, and may even misunderstand that you are ambitious, seeking fame and fame, and inviting others to buy fame."
"The mother's worries have been taken into account by her son. The son will not carry out grain trade in his own name."
"In whose name? Could it be Ye Ci?"
Queen Zhang was so angry that her heart and liver ached.
Before he entered the house, Liu Heng was thinking about Ye Ci. Once he entered the house, it would be okay.
Liu Heng, with a smile on his face, said, "A son will not force his mother to like Ye Ci, but the mother cannot force his son to do anything. The queen and Ye Ci are so far apart. As the saying goes, the smell is far away and the smell is close, the mother ignores whether she is
feasible?"
"She wants to be my daughter-in-law, how can I ignore her?"
"Out of sight, out of mind!" Liu Heng's method is very direct and realistic.
He would not naively expect that his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would get along well with each other. This was impossible. He understood this basic truth and had no intention of covering up the truth.
Do men in the world really not know that it is difficult to get along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Do men really not know that it is difficult for their wives to be in front of their mothers?
In fact, everyone knows it very well, but deliberately pretends to be deaf and dumb. They always cover their ears and steal the bell, and pretend it doesn't exist as long as they don't encounter it.
This is true for men in ancient and modern times, without exception.
Being at peace in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is their innate ability, and they know how to operate it without any deliberate instruction.
Just like women love beauty, they are born with it.
Some men pretend to be deaf and mute their entire lives.
Some men force their wives to pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know how vicious and difficult their mother-in-law is.
Anyway, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is an eternal mystery, and Liu Heng doesn't think he has the ability to mediate this conflict. Instead, just stay out of sight, out of mind, and stay far away, so that no one can be upset.
Well, I started forgetting my mother even before I married my wife.
Once you officially marry your wife, that will be fine.
Empress Zhang did not do the drama of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself. This drama could only be enjoyed by Emperor Yuan Kang. She could not let her son see her ugliest side.
She chuckled and said, "You've even thought of a solution. You really worked hard."
Liu Heng laughed and laughed, "My son can't bear his mother to worry about such trivial things. Those who can do more work. Does your mother like the fruit wine in Yunxia Mountain? My son asked someone to bring another batch, and part of it was given to his father as a New Year's gift, and the rest was given to his father."
Mother."
"You have a conscience. The fruit wine in Yunxia Mountain is really good. You won't get drunk after drinking it, and your body will be very warm. It's a bit special."
