Old Master Liu sat cross-legged on the bed. When he saw Min Ruoxi coming in, he smiled slightly: "Empress, please forgive me for being rude and unable to salute the Empress."

Min Ruoxi shook her head and sighed: "The old man shouldn't have gone out this time. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have been so early..."

Old Master Liu laughed: "A person dies. Five years ago, in order to fight Moro, I had already fallen into the root of my illness. If it weren't for Shu Chang, I would have died long ago. I have lived for so long and I am content."

The old butler Liu Neng brought a brocade stool to Min Ruoxi. He was also injured in this battle. Now he is recuperating in Taiping City. His face is sad. He brought a stool to Min Ruoxi, then retreated to the corner of the bed, wiping his tears silently.

Min Ruoxi was silent for a moment. She was also a person who had experienced life and death. She had taken the worldly love indifferently. She also knew that even if she was a hero for a lifetime, she would not be sad and sad, and would be like a child.

"Does the old man still have any wishes?" she asked after adjusting her mood for a moment.

Old Master Liu smiled and said, "The Empress is indeed not an ordinary person. It is Your Majesty's blessing for you and the Ming Dynasty to have a good helper like you. Is it my Majesty's blessing for you and the Ming Dynasty. Empress, can I talk to you alone?"

"Of course." Min Ruoxi waved her hand, Yinggu, skillful hands, the imperial physician and others immediately left the room, and Liu Neng followed them out.

"The most correct thing I have done in my life is to decide to unite with the emperor. The other families were not clear about it at that time, but the facts proved that the old man's vision was still very correct." Old Master Liu said happily: "The storm was in turmoil. If I hadn't made that decision, the Liu family might have disappeared in this storm."

"You have helped Qin Feng, and of course, in turn, they have also helped the Liu family." Min Ruoxi said.

"Yes, Empress, my death may be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty." said Old Master Liu.

Min Ruoxi was slightly stunned, "Young master can't say that, at least I know that Qin Feng has always been grateful to you and value you very much."

"I know this. But I also know that there is a Shayang system above the Ming Dynasty court now!" Old Master Liu said: "The many great masters in Shayang now hold high power in the Ming Dynasty court. They not only have power, but also financial resources. With the strong rise of the Ming Dynasty, the five great masters of Shayang, oh, no, there are only four great masters, whether in power or wealth, they are growing rapidly, and their influence is constantly expanding. This is not a good thing for the court. And this so-called Shayang system..."

Old Master Liu laughed: "Actually, there is no Shayang system, but to outsiders, he does exist. He takes me as the leader. After the Ming Dynasty was officially established, Your Majesty was wary of me. I understand. Empress, I have no intention of blaming Your Majesty. On the contrary, this is what an emperor should have."

Min Ruoxi remained silent. Of course she understood that after the official establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Feng had not stopped his actions to differentiate the Shayang system. However, because of the existence of Mr. Liu, the effect of this differentiation was not obvious.

"If I die, the Shayang system will collapse, because none of the remaining people can effectively condense them. This should be considered a blessing for the court." Mr. Liu said.

"Old man, what do you want to say to me?" Min Ruoxi asked.

"Empress, until now, I still believe that in the near future, Your Majesty will unify the world. What I want to say to the Empress today is that no matter what time it is, please take care of the elderly people like Shayang. Please do not forget the contributions they made at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. As long as they do not commit serious crimes of treason, please tolerate them one or two."

Min Ruoxi nodded slightly, "I think Qin Feng should be able to do this. Since the old man opened this to me today, I will remember this matter."

"Thank you, Empress!" Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Xingwen is not a talent who can explore. If he can achieve success, it would be amazing. There are no outstanding figures in my third generation of Liu family, and it is even worse than Xingwen."

"They are all still young!" Min Ruoxi said with a smile.

"It is said that when I am three years old, not to mention that my grandsons are already in their teens." Old Master Liu shook his head and said, "Liu is prosperous because of me, but the so-called wealth is only three generations. This is the problem I worry about the most. No outstanding person is to support the Liu family. This is the problem I worry about the most. I forgive my sins. When I get old, I will die soon. I have to think more for my younger generations."

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, Daming will remember Liu's contributions." Min Ruoxi said: "Whether it is Qin Feng or me, it will not end up with the descendants of Liu."

"Thank you for your promise. I want to be honest and have a close relationship with you." Mr. Liu said.

Min Ruoxi was slightly stunned, "Old man, what do you want to say..."

"Although my grandchildren are not good, their youngest granddaughter is smart. His mother is not Xingwen's main wife, but she is also from a great man, and her appearance is reasonable."

"Do you want to tell her to Xiao Wu?" Min Ruoxi said in a slight shock.

"I dare not look for the position of the official wife, the concubine is enough." Old Master Liu stared at Min Ruoxi, "Liu's man, no one will follow him. I have to find a way out for them, and I hope the empress forgives her for her crimes."

Min Ruoxi stood up and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, "Mr. Liu, I won't hide it from you. I only have a son like Xiao Wu, and I'm not going to have another child." She raised her head and looked at the roof. "Although there are many children and many blessings, it is not a blessing for the royal family to have more children."

Old Master Liu knew about Min Ruoxi's experience. The two sons of Min's family fought for the throne and killed each other, which caused Min Ruoxi to be deeply injured.

"So Xiao Wu will inevitably become the only heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty in the future. His wife is afraid I can't make the decision. This requires discussion with Qin Feng before making a decision." Min Ruoxi said.

"So I said I dare not look for the position of the official wife, I just want the concubine." Old Master Liu said slowly: "If you accept a concubine, the empress can still make the decision. My little granddaughter is still young. In the future, the empress can bring her closer to the palace and teach her personally. I think with the empress's teaching, my granddaughter's character will never be bad in the future."

Min Ruoxi went back and forth in the room, feeling quite embarrassed. The Shayang system was indeed the second largest force in the Ming Dynasty, except Qin Feng's old subordinates. If we talk about financial resources, it could basically be regarded as the largest force. Their every move was of great importance to the Ming Dynasty. Once Mr. Liu died, the Shayang system would inevitably lose its backbone, and it was natural to panic in his heart. The court wanted to calm their hearts, and doing so was also a way. If the Liu family became a royal relative, they would definitely become the leader of the Shayang system. However, Liu Xingwen's talent was insufficient, and the Shayang system would inevitably be unable to be able to be as one of the same rope as Mr. Liu was alive when he was alive. This was also a good way.

Thinking of this, she had already made a decision. She turned around and looked at Old Master Liu, "Okay, I've agreed on this matter. I can't make the decision on my wife's wife, but I can still have the final say in the concubine. This child, I will let Liu Xingwen go to the palace when I turn around. As for the matter of taking the concubine, I will announce it to the world."

"Thank you, Empress!" Old Master Liu smiled, reached out and took a box from the pillow, and pushed it to the edge of the bed, "Empress, this is the dowry I prepared for my granddaughter, this is the one I gave to the Empress."

"Ah?" Min Ruoxi was shocked.

Old Master Liu looked at the box, "The cunning rabbit has three holes. Liu has been prosperous over the years, but the flowers have not been red for a hundred days. So I have been in a long time ago. This box is my preparation for the years. Since the Empress has responded to my granddaughter, Liu will have no worries anymore."

There was a booklet in the box. Min Ruoxi took out the booklet and looked through it for a few pages, then she was already shocked.

"Although the imperial court won this battle, it was also very damaged and the national treasury was empty. But according to the old man's opinion, His Majesty must have used this matter to obtain the greatest benefit, so the war may not end immediately, and may not be fought again, but confrontation and bargaining may last for a long time. Although this money is not much, it can also help His Majesty."

Min Ruoxi breathed a long sigh. The money was not too much, but too much. Anyway, the inner treasury of his own is empty now, and the national treasury is also empty. The Ming Bank has made every effort to print money to pay all expenses, which is a hidden worry. Mr. Liu’s money is 5 million taels, which makes people have to be amazed at how rich Liu’s family is, and it can almost be said that he is rich enough to rival a country.

"This dowry is too heavy," she said softly.

"Compared with my future wealth and honor, this little money is really nothing." Old Master Liu seemed to have given only dozens of taels of silver, and said unconsciously. "This money is just buried underground and grows hair, but it can make him play a greater role in the hands of the emperor. Xiong, Xingwen doesn't know about this money, so there is no need to tell him. The only one who knows about this is the butler Liu Bao."

Min Ruoxi put away the small box, "Don't worry, old man, Liu will share weal and woe with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is here, and Liu is here."

"Thank you, Empress. It's a pity that the old man couldn't see His Majesty returning to the court. Today, when he heard the cheers outside, we must have achieved an absolute victory on the battlefield."

"Yes, Qin Feng has defeated the Qin army and killed Deng Pu, Deng Su, and Qin State. There is no need to worry about it." Min Ruoxi said with a smile.
