Mixed martial arts: I am the best in the world

Chapter 260 I'm in no hurry anyway

In the main hall, Wang Hua recounted the situation at the city gate, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that Zhen is too arrogant. This person is the Prime Minister of the country and is not a blessing to our Ming Dynasty. I ask Your Majesty to take a closer look."

"Wang Qing, do you really think Zhen Qing is reckless and ignorant? Extremely daring?" Zhu Shou had not yet spoken, but Wu Meiniang beside him sneered: "The Zhen family has been inherited for thousands of years and has a profound heritage. Zhen Qing is the heir of the Zhen family. Such People don’t know how many trials they have gone through before they are qualified to be heirs. Do you think such people are reckless and ignorant?”

"The queen thinks that Zhen's move is to deliberately confuse Gu?" Zhu Shou immediately understood the reason and smiled bitterly: "Could it be that in the eyes of Zhen's superiors and subordinates, Gu is a brainless person, and he vented his anger at the city gate? , Gu just thinks that he is a dandy, so he will not take him to heart."

"So, I think the Zhen family has a great cause, but the heirs they cultivate are no more than that. They are probably people who have never experienced setbacks, but they think they are very smart. In fact, they have high ambitions and low hands, and they cannot achieve great things." Wu Meiniang analyzed.

"The queen is smart." Wang Hua's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he nodded repeatedly. Unexpectedly, this guy Zhen Qing was so smart that he was mistaken for his cleverness, and the queen immediately saw the truth.

Regarding Wu Meiniang, the ministers had complicated thoughts, because the other party controlled the government, and she basically made the final decision on all major affairs in the court. She even reviewed the memorials. This made the ministers very dissatisfied, but on the other hand, they had to admire her. Wu Meiniang's talent and learning, and the huge country he managed were well organized. When King Ming went on an expedition, the other party was sitting in the rear without any worries. This was all due to the other party.

Simply speaking, King Ming was wise and powerful and was able to suppress Wu Meiniang. Although the ministers were a little dissatisfied, they could only reluctantly accept her.

"Zhen is really interesting. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the other party has other ideas or not, it doesn't matter. He is the Prime Minister! If Gu recognizes him, he is the Prime Minister. If Gu doesn't recognize the other party, it means nothing. No one can admit it. Prime Minister, is there anyone who dares to contact the other party?" Zhu Shou shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the thousand-year-old business family will be in decline from now on."

"Yes, according to the information from Minglou, all the dignitaries in Jinling City have given up on Zhen's Rouge, and the same is true in other cities." Wu Meiniang explained.

"The same is true for the Chen family." Wang Hua coughed, but there was a feeling of emotion in his heart. In the past, the Zhen family's rouge was so popular. It was used by high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty. However, with the changes in the royal family, the Zhen family was completely abandoned.

"Businessmen are businessmen, and officialdom is officialdom. It is best for merchants not to get involved in officialdom, otherwise, sooner or later, they will be in trouble, especially people like Zhen who not only get involved in officialdom, but also involve the change of royal power and the change of ownership of the country. This This matter is too big and no princely state will agree to it." Zhu Shou shook his head.

This is true in any era. You can be close to the government, but you must not interfere in politics. Otherwise, you will die miserably.The Zhen family is obviously not like this. She is very bold and actually participated in the dynastic struggle for hegemony. Doesn't this mean that she didn't die quickly enough?I also know what everyone in the Zhen family is thinking.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor has received an imperial edict this time. What kind of etiquette should be used to welcome him tomorrow?" Wang Hua asked.

"What kind of etiquette was used in the past is what etiquette was used. Didn't your etiquette department make arrangements?" Zhu Shou said nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty, I think that your martial arts skills are unparalleled and you are now an innate master. According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, innate masters are not required to kneel before you. Moreover, I see the arrogance of Zhen family. How can I, a minister of the Ming Dynasty, kneel down to worship the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty? ?" Wang Hua said seriously. "I have read all your memorials, and what you said makes sense, but there is no need to make a fuss about these small things. Your Lord Minister has already prepared it, so don't change it. Follow the rules innately, and don't irritate it for the time being. Martial Saint Mansion." Zhu Shou frowned.

At first, he thought of resisting forcefully, but Wu Meiniang persuaded him that there was no need to do so. Those ministers were also ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When receiving the imperial edict from the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they must naturally follow the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But it is impossible to kneel down. No one in the world has such courage.

"Yes, I obey the order." Wang Hua just persuaded casually. He knew that the cabinet had already prepared etiquette, but today he met Zhen Qing. He wanted to try to change something. Unfortunately, King Ming did not agree. .

"Someone is coming from the Southern Song Dynasty. Lu Xiufu is the Minister of Rites of the Southern Song Dynasty. He happens to be at the same level as you. Go and greet him." Zhu Shou took out a memorial from one side and handed it to Wang Hua and said.

Wang Hua took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Your Majesty, I wonder how we are going to respond when Lu Xiufu comes to participate in the peace talks? Is it money or land?"

"Let's talk first, don't be anxious. As long as we are not anxious, they are the ones who are anxious, you know?" Zhu Shou said with a smile: "They are in a difficult situation now, with enemies on three sides. If there is no foreign aid, the Southern Song Dynasty will be in ruins." It's about to change hands. At this time, you can only come and beg us." Zhu Shou explained: "As long as we wait one more day, we will definitely be the winner in the end."

The corners of Wang Hua's mouth twitched, and he no longer knew what to say. As a Confucian disciple, now he met a businessman, King Ming. The contrast was really too big.

"Not only Lu Xiufu, but also someone else is coming. Cai Jing, the Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, is coming. Hehe, the Northern Song Dynasty pays more attention to us than the Southern Song Dynasty. Not only the Prime Minister is coming, but also a woman named Li Shishi, who gave birth to Extremely beautiful." Zhu Shou said with a smile: "They already know Gu's preferences."

Wang Hua immediately knew Zhu Shou's plan and was ready to eat both sides. However, until now, King Ming had not decided which side to help, so he was dragging both sides like this.

"Whether it is the Southern Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty, the benefits sent are secondary. What we need to do is to balance the strength of both sides. At the very least, let them continue to fight. In the future, our eyes will still be on At home." Zhu Shou looked outside and sighed in his heart.

In fact, he also wanted to dominate the world and be happy with his grudges, but he had no choice. There was a Martial Saint above him. Yin Xi was not dead. If he tried to commit suicide, he would be the only one who died in the end.

"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Hua also knows the current situation of Ming Dynasty. Zhen Yi's arrival shows that Ming Dynasty has been targeted by Emperor Zhou and Wusheng Mansion, so he can only keep a low profile now.
