Chapter 222 Father-in-law, what do you think
Kunning Palace.
Queen Zhou had a smile on her face, and meeting her father made her very happy. She just mentioned it to the emperor. Not long after, her father entered the palace, which made Queen Zhou feel it in her heart.
To the emperor's favor for her.
"Queen, you are pregnant with a dragon seed, so be careful."
Zhou Kui sat on a chair and looked at his daughter, and began to say, "But the prince is still very young. You should take care of him too. At the time of the turmoil of the country, His Majesty decided to lead the army in person,
Fighting against the invading Jianlu and enthroning the crown prince to uphold the country, it is enough to show his favor for the queen..."
"Father, my daughter knows."
Seeing that his father said this, Queen Zhou blushed on her cheeks and said, "My daughter has always taken good care of her and she is very strong."
"That's good."
Zhou Kui smiled and looked at Empress Zhou and said, "No matter what, I am also the father-in-law of the current dynasty, the prince's grandfather... Queen... Look at when to mention the emperor, whether to grant me a title, after all
…”
The smile on Queen Zhou's face disappeared. Seeing her father chattering endlessly, her originally happy mood disappeared at this moment.
Originally, she still had a lot of things in her mind, and wanted to talk to her father. After all, she hadn't seen each other for a long time. But she didn't expect that her father would openly ask her to give the emperor a big deal, such as the title of title.
‘I am worthy of being a stingy and short-sighted father-in-law. It’s really awkward to have such a father. It’s really embarrassing to have a father like this.”
As soon as he arrived at Kunning Palace, Emperor Chongzhen had not yet entered, he heard his father-in-law chattering, saying that he was not concerned about his daughter, but clearly used this as a banner to seek some benefits for himself.
Han Zanzhou and others standing next to him lowered their heads and pretended not to hear what the father-in-law of the dynasty said. After all, the matter of awarding titles is not a trivial matter for the dynasty.
"Queen...I'm back."
Emperor Chongzhen, who was calm, smiled on his face, lifted his sleeves, first said something, and then raised his foot and walked forward.
"I have some government affairs at hand, but it has been resolved until now. How are you talking to the father-in-law? The father-in-law hasn't left yet?"
Although I know what kind of virtue I have for my stingy father-in-law, after all, I am the father of Queen Zhou, so I can't worship the heavens, and I still pretend to be confused, but I still have to pretend to be confused.
"Emperor~"
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Hearing the voice of Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou held her stomach and slowly stood up, while Zhou Kui quickly stood up and saluted Emperor Chongzhen who was walking in.
"The father-in-law doesn't have to be too polite."
Emperor Chongzhen smiled, walked up to support Zhou Kui's arms, and smiled and said, "It's rare that the father-in-law can enter the palace. The queen... will he send someone to Shangshen to supervise the meal?"
"Not yet..." Queen Zhou replied, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhou Kui. "Your Majesty, don't have to be so troublesome. Your Majesty is busy with all your affairs, so the old minister will not stay in the palace for a long time."
"What the father-in-law said is wrong." Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said, "It is rare to go to the palace and chat with the queen more. I am very happy."
Old man, if I don’t train him well, then the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will be in vain.
However, this stingy and calculating nature is quite suitable for issuing invoices. If you want to find a way to scare this stingy father-in-law and send loyal and reliable eunuchs to monitor it, so that the treasury can have another source of wealth.
In this deep palace, don’t talk about any feelings. Except for Empress Zhou, Emperor Chongzhen will not overflow the slightest true feelings, it is purely a waste.
"Your Majesty, sit down and rest first." Empress Zhou held her stomach and walked forward slowly, with a little joy in her eyebrows, and said, "Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day, so you should take care of yourself."
"I'll ask the queen to worry."
Emperor Chongzhen held Queen Zhou's hand in front of Zhou Kui and smiled and said, "I'm not in trouble, let's go, don't stand, be careful."
Empress Zhou lowered her head slightly, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she followed Emperor Chongzhen forward. This scene made Zhou Kui flash in his eyes after seeing it, and he felt excited.
It is a good thing that the emperor is so loving to his daughter. If he asks his daughter to say a few more words, then will the matter of his title be solved?
"Bestie, you can sit down too." Emperor Chongzhen, who sat down, said to Zhou Kui with a smile: "I heard that these days, the father-in-law wants to share my worries?"
"…yes!"
Zhou Kui, who had already taken the opportunity to sit down, immediately bowed and said, "The old minister knows that his ability is limited, but as a royal relative of the Ming Dynasty, he should give His Majesty some worries.
If Your Majesty…”
Listening to the stingy father-in-law, the Emperor Chongzhen, who was talking nonsense and smiling on the surface, sneered in his heart. Just your stingy spirit, still want to share your worries?
What about cheating a three-year-old child?
Isn’t it just that I want to get a title and then make money secretly?
"I am very pleased that the father-in-law has this intention."
Emperor Chongzhen smiled, looked at the Queen Zhou beside him and said to Zhou Kui: "Brother Wang is still young now. If he knew that his grandfather could share my worries, he would be very happy, but the father-in-law, I
There is really a worry now. The strong troops I recruited before were fighting against Jianlu, and now they are still owed a batch of food and wages..."
"What does the Ministry of Revenue do for food?"
Zhou Kui frowned and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to tell me that this official from the Ministry of Revenue is taking the salary of the state and eating imperial grain, why does anyone who doesn't know how to share the worries of Your Majesty? This..."
“Haha~”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled. He listened to his stingy father-in-law, who didn't mention anything and wanted to pay money to help him solve the problem. He couldn't help but complain.
Compared with Shanxi Laosou, that's a good match.
Is Emperor Chongzhen short of money and food?
There is really no shortage.
He had previously searched the thief and rats in the imperial village and got so much wealth. If he had planned to use it, he would not have been worried about the money.
The reason why I told Zhou Kui these things was nothing more than trying to test them. The facts proved that it was impossible to wake up someone who pretended to be asleep.
"Mr....I have an idea."
Emperor Chongzhen interrupted, and Zhou Kui, who was talking in front of him, smiled and said, "I don't know if the father-in-law can organize a group of people in private to transport grain in the south of the Yangtze River. Of course, I will follow the market price to go from the country.
If you buy it from the boss, it can be considered as helping me solve a problem. What do you think about it when my father-in-law?"
It is fake to ask Zhou Kui to sell food, but it is real to ask his stingy father-in-law to jump inside. If he doesn't do this, how can he do something to beat him?
