Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

Chapter 66 Before breaking up
  Xiao Yi's eyes widened, "Your majestic little marquis's concubine, a cheap girl who grew up in the countryside can't even look down upon her!"

"She grew up in the countryside, but she is the daughter of An Guogong!" Zhao Shu stood up angrily, getting angry at Xiao Yi for the first time in his life, and hating King Leping for the first time.

The Duke is superior to the Marquis, and Duke An Guo and Marquis Gao Yang can be regarded as sworn friends and friends in times of need. How could he let Duke An Guo's daughter be his concubine?
  Can't even think about it, let alone mention it.

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment by his yelling, and said: "Why are you angry with me? This is my Queen Mother's idea. She has long wanted you to marry Sister Yan, but the Marquis didn't mention it before when he was away. Now that the Marquis has returned from the border, you have reached adulthood, and your marriage should be put on the agenda. If you are dissatisfied, just talk to your mother and concubine!"

Having said that, why didn’t you ask the imperial concubine to show your favor?
  The day before yesterday, he knelt on the porch and begged his mother. Yesterday, he went to the palace to beg Concubine Zhao, but nothing worked. Today, he had no choice but to come again to beg King Leping.

He thought, after all, they are brothers who have played together all their lives. They should know what he is thinking and be able to say a few words for him in front of the elders. When I came today, I discovered that this was actually King Leping's idea.

King Leping knows better than anyone else that his heart is for Xu Beisheng!
  Zhao Shu lowered his eyes, frowned sadly, and lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, please. Even if there is no Beisheng, how can I marry sister Yan as my wife? It's not about whether I like it or not. The problem is that we are uncles and cousins, and blood and family ties are the biggest barrier!"

Xiao Yi spread his hands and couldn't understand, "There are many uncles who are related by blood. Why does it become the biggest barrier when it comes to you, Prince Zhao?"

He patted Zhao Shu on the shoulder and said: "It is my king's turn to beg you. You know best what I have been thinking in my heart over the years. Now that Xiao Xun is gone, I can easily get the position of crown prince. As long as you marry me." My sister, the Marquis will give me a helping hand and let me marry Nanyin again. By then, the two armies of Xu and Zhao will be at my disposal, so why worry about the big thing failing?"

Zhao Shu said: "You and I are blood relatives. My father and I have never supported the prince's important affairs, so why should I marry my sister?"

"You don't understand!" Xiao Yi pointed at him and said, "You don't understand. There must be no mistakes in what I plan. Only marriage can truly tie you and me to the same boat."

Zhao Shu was speechless at what Xiao Yi said.

Haolai had said all he had to say, and his lips were worn out, but he was unable to do anything. Everyone was working against him, and King Leping's interests and future were actually buried with his.

Zhao Shu's heart became cold, and after a long while he said: "Your Majesty wants to achieve great things, why don't you think of a way based on the people's sentiments, but use all the other means?"

"The hearts and minds of the people?" Xiao Yi sneered, "As long as I have the power in my hands, the people's hearts will naturally obey me. If I have no power in my hands, what will happen to the people's hearts and minds towards me?"

Then he said: "I just got into a good mood yesterday, please don't hurt me again!"

"Is that Yan Mo who defrauded the prince of more than 40,000 taels of silver?" Zhao Shu asked, "I heard that he came to apologize to the prince yesterday. Can the prince believe a liar?"

King Leping said: "It's just a misunderstanding. Even if it's not a misunderstanding, for the sake of my reputation, I can't do anything to him. Yan Mo is more capable than Zhao Kun and promised to help me sell cotton and raw silk. I want to make a profit in the future. This Yan Mo is a helper."

Zhao Shu pursed his lips and smiled, "If I were the prince, I would follow Sir Lang's advice and deliver that batch of goods to the people for free to win over the people. If you want to achieve something big, a little money is nothing!"

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "In my opinion, even if the life or death of the prince is unknown, the world may not belong to you, the prince. If the prince wins the hearts of the people, why worry about the ministers not going to court? If he does not win the hearts of the people, even if he has millions of people under his command, , is tantamount to rebellious ears!”

Zhao Shu's words were very serious. He understood King Leping very well. Just because he understood him, he knew that he was not the emperor's material.

In the past, he followed King Leping, and he also longed for King Leping to ascend the throne in the future, and the Zhao family would become powerful officials. Now that I have followed my father in the army to provide disaster relief, I will know what the people's heart is and what kind of monarch the world needs.

The sentence "It's tantamount to treason" was like a sharp knife piercing King Leping's heart. His most taboo words were blurted out by Zhao Shu. King Leping was startled for a moment, and he was really shocked.

He said: "I just want you to get married, why do you say such harsh words?"

Zhao Shu cupped his hands towards Xiao Yi and said, "Although my words are serious, the truth is very simple. The prince will think about it for himself and leave first."

Coming out of Prince Leping's Mansion, Zhao Shu was riding on a horse, trusting the horse to rein it in, and he was so confused that he didn't know where to go. The dazzling sunshine in the middle of the day shines directly on the earth, but it cannot shine into Zhao Shu's gloomy heart.

If he had known that today would become a stone for others to climb the ladder to heaven, why would he bother to provoke Miss Xu Er and make a promise to each other?

The horse's hooves stopped in front of the Jade Linglong Pavilion. Zhao Shu raised his eyes and looked at the four gilded characters of the inscription. The coldness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows finally subsided.

His love for Beisheng was like a surging river, but now it seemed like it was blocked by a dam. His love surged in his chest and he was unable to vent it.

Beisheng didn't see Zhao Shu for four or five days in a row, so he went to Gaoyang Marquis' Mansion to ask, but the people in the mansion were hesitant and unsure.

She took Luzhu and the others to make medicinal mud and jujube, and planned to go to Gaoyang Houfu again tomorrow morning.

The maid at the door came to report: "Second girl, the eldest girl is here."

Wan Yue held the pills in her hand and murmured: "The eldest girl has been too diligent in visiting our Qingaiyuan these days. I wonder if she has really changed her gender to be nice to the second girl, or is she just holding something bad in her belly? Girl, be careful not to fall into her trap.”

Beisheng smiled bitterly in his heart. Zhao Shu had been avoiding her these past few days. It was estimated that Nanyin's plan was almost done, so why not hit it? In her eyes, he was already a sheep in a trap.

She put down the pills in her hand, stood up and said, "You guys go ahead and I'll go take a look."

Lu Zhu said: "Then please accompany the girl."

The master and servant cleaned their hands in the basin at the door before going to the main room.

Nan Yin was already sitting and waiting. When she saw Bei Sheng coming in, she said coquettishly, "You are so busy at home every day. You don't even have time to talk to your mother or me."

Beisheng smiled and asked Lu Zhu to serve tea, and then sat across from Nan Yin, "I have nothing to do and make some digestive pills. Everyone liked what I made before. My father will be back soon. I want to make some for him to try." .”

Nanyin said: "You are filial, and I, as a sister, cannot compare to you."

Lu Zhu brought the tea in, and Bei Sheng personally served tea to Nan Yin. He smiled and asked, "Sister, what's the matter with your visit today?"

Nanyin sipped her tea and smiled: "What could possibly happen is just that I heard some rumors."

She suddenly leaned forward to Bei Sheng and lowered her voice and said, "Hongzhu went out to buy cakes this morning and saw Prince Zhao. He looked hungover. His clothes were disheveled when he was picked up from Zuixian Tower by people from the Hou Mansion. The face is covered with makeup..."

She sat up straight, looked at Bei Sheng and frowned, sighed, and smiled: "Don't be angry with him if you know. Men, aren't they all like that? They only pretend to be one person in their hearts when they say it. But the body can be shared by everyone. After what happened to King Leping last time, I can see through it."

Bei Sheng lowered his eyes, holding the tea cup tightly with both hands, and frowned so hard that it hurt.

Nanyin looked at her uncomfortable look, raised his eyebrows and smiled secretly, everything fell into Lu Zhu's eyes.

Bei Sheng had been sitting there, and even when Nan Yin left, she looked dumbfounded and did not get up to see him off.
