"This can only stop some people's mouths, but in fact, everyone knows the truth of the matter."
Zhou Zhenwen picked up the teacup and sipped the tea, then gently slid the lid of the teacup, looking at ease.
"Master Zhou, you just need to block some people's mouths!"
"As long as there is no clear evidence, everything is easy to say!!"
Gongsun Wuji showed a smile that everyone knew and said flatteringly.
"Why!"
Zhou Zhenwen looked embarrassed, put down the teacup, and said, "Master Gongsun! Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"It's hard for me to do it too..."
"Yes, yes, yes, I also understand that it is not easy for you!" Gongsun Wuji was about to curse in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face, "If you can make a small contribution to help our five families tide over the difficulties, from now on From now on, our five families will definitely follow the leadership of the adults. If the adults tell us to go east, we will never go west. If the adults tell us to chase away the dogs, we will never kill the chickens..."
Gongsun Wuji patted his chest and made a solemn promise.
"Hey, if that's the case, I can't refuse... So let's do it!" Zhou Zhenwen stood up and said, "Let's go, take me to that antique shop and take a look at the white-glazed blue and white porcelain... ....”
"Why bother, sir?" Gongsun Wuji was instantly overjoyed and said quickly: "We have discussed it with the shop owner a long time ago. He is willing to send the porcelain here to show it to you."
"Oh?" Zhou Zhenwen showed a playful smile, "Master Gongsun, this piece of porcelain is extremely rare. It would be a pity if it was damaged during transportation..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, the store has made preparations and there will be no accidents during transportation." Gongsun Wuji said with a smile.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll wait in the house!!" Zhou Zhenwen nodded and sat down again.
"Okay, let me go and see how the progress is?" Gongsun Wuji bowed his hand.
"Then I'll bother you, Master Gongsun." Zhou Zhenwen nodded slightly.
Gongsun Wuji left quickly.
After the other party left, Xiaosi walked in from the door.
"It seems everything is going well." Xiaosi said softly.
"Yeah." Zhou Zhenwen nodded slightly, "It's just everyone getting what they need."
"He will be back soon. When he comes back, I can rest."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Xiaosi nodded and whispered: "My lord sent back a message saying that he will be back in seven days."
"Well, after those seven days, it's almost time to leave for Beijing." Zhou Zhenwen said.
While the two were talking, a hurried footsteps approached quickly from a distance.
Zhou Zhenwen frowned slightly and gave Xiaosi a look.
Xiaosi immediately understood, stopped talking, and stood quietly aside.
Not long after, a figure walked into the hall and took out a volume of imperial edict from his arms.
"Zhou Zhenwen accepts the order!"
Zhou Zhenwen squatted slightly and said, "I'm here."
Xiaosi also half-knelt down.
"Zhou Zhenwen, I order you to go to Xuanwu City immediately and command the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, waiting for changes."
"If the King of Yu raises an army to rebel, you can recruit your own troops, no less than 50,000, to send troops to Yuzhou to quell the rebellion and destroy the rebel army...I appreciate this!!"
The visitor quickly read the contents of the imperial edict, then handed it to Zhou Zhenwen and whispered: "Master Zhou, this matter is of great importance. It must be done in secret. Please leave immediately!!"
"I obey the decree!!" Zhou Zhenwen took the imperial edict and took a look at the content. It was no different from what the visitor read out, so he put the imperial edict away.
"Angel, don't worry, I'll leave now." Zhou Zhenwen nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Okay." The angel took out a golden tiger talisman and handed it to Zhou Zhenwen solemnly, "Master Zhou, this is the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops. With this and your majesty's imperial edict, the prefect of Xuanwu City will know what to do. !”
"Yes." Zhou Zhenwen looked at the golden tiger talisman he received and asked, "Does your Majesty have any other explanations?"
"Your Majesty, please tell me everything, so I'll bother you dear," the angel said.
"Okay, I'll leave now." Zhou Zhenwen ordered Xiaosi beside him: "Wait until the head of the Gongsun family comes over and proceed according to the original plan... Well, also, if Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has any questions, please He said that His Majesty has sent me to do other things, and the affairs of Qingzhou will be left to her for the time being."
"We can also tell her our plan. You will assist her and she will take charge."
"If I'm not here, they may not listen to you. Her Royal Highness must come forward to suppress them."
"Yes, sir." Xiao Si nodded in understanding.
"Remembering the imperial decree is of great importance and no one can say anything about it, understand?" Zhou Zhenwen took a deep look at Xiao Si and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, sir, I will never reveal a word." Xiaosi responded with a respectful bow.
"Okay." Zhou Zhenwen nodded and strode towards the door without any delay.
Xiao Si immediately returned to the backyard and came to a secluded place. He took out a pencil and quickly wrote a series of special symbols on the paper. He pressed it under three stones. After taking a look around, he quickly left and headed towards the long road. Walk to the courtyard where the princess Huaizhen is.
After Xiaosi left, a figure quietly came to the stone, took out the paper inside, put it into his arms, and disappeared into the yard.
Xiaosi met the eldest princess Hua Zhen through the communication.
Huaizhen sat on the chair, looked at Xiaosi, her beautiful eyes flashed, and asked, "What on earth did Zhou Zhenwen do?"
"Your Highness, the Princess, this matter is of great importance. I made it clear before I left. I cannot reveal it. I hope that Your Highness will forgive me." Xiaosi bowed with a respectful attitude.
"Since it is a matter assigned by His Majesty, I don't want to interfere too much. However, the Qingzhou locust incident is at a critical moment. If Zhou Zhenwen leaves at this time, who will handle the follow-up matters?"
"Did he leave any explanation?"
Huaizhen was dressed in red, her eyebrows were curved, and her delicate face looked serious at the moment, exuding a strong sense of majesty.
"Go back to Your Highness the Princess. Before you leave, please explain that the follow-up matters will be handled by Your Highness. The villain will assist you." Xiao Si replied.
"Have full authority to handle it?" Huaizhen's mouth curved up, not knowing what he was thinking, "Tell me, how far has your plan gone?"
"Back to Princess, now that the head of the Gongsun family has returned to heaven and earth, our plan is as follows..." Xiaosi told most of the plans. In fact, he also knew that with his identity, It was impossible to suppress the heads of the five great families. They were already dissatisfied with Zhou Zhenwen's arbitrary actions, so compromising at this moment was just a helpless move.
If they knew that Zhou Zhenwen had left Qingzhou, they would probably immediately change their faces and shut up about cooperation.
Only when Zhou Zhenwen is here, can this game continue.
Without Zhou Zhenwen, this game is a joke.
Without Zhou Zhenwen's power, many things would not be possible. What they want to do now must be done by Zhou Zhenwen.
After Huaizhen understood what happened, he nodded slightly, "These heads of aristocratic families are really greedy. How much did you charge them for that white-glazed blue and white porcelain?"
"Go back to Your Highness Princess, one hundred thousand taels of gold." Xiaosi said directly without hiding anything.
"Haha." Huaizhen covered her mouth and chuckled, "You guys are quite cruel!"
Xiaosi didn't know the princess' temperament, so naturally she didn't dare to say anything.
"Well, since it's Zhou Zhenwen's mess, I'll help him clean it up!" Huaizhen stood up and walked towards the front hall.
"Let's go to the front hall and wait for them!"
"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
Xiao Si quickly followed.
