King Yu City, Yuxiang Pavilion.
All kinds of birds, fat and thin, with graceful figures, lined up in a row, occupying the entire hall.
The women bowed and said in unison:
"Welcome Mr. Zhou to come..."
The delicate female voice, coupled with such a big posture, even Zhou Zhenwen felt a little numb...
At a glance, everything is covered with white flowers, it is really turbulent! !
"Who is the princess?" Zhou Zhenwen looked at Princess Liu on the side and asked tentatively.
Princess Liu smiled slightly: "Does Mr. Zhou have a girl that he is satisfied with? You can stay and pour wine..."
"Oh, so that's what it means!" Zhou Zhenwen nodded slightly and casually selected a girl with a good figure: "Just her!"
"Okay, Yan'er stays, and the other girls can go down." The older woman bowed to Princess Liu and Zhou Zhenwen, then greeted the other girls and took them down.
"Yan'er, entertain Mr. Zhou well..."
"Yes, Aunt Ying." Yan'er nodded with a smile, took the initiative to pour wine for Zhou Zhenwen, and said softly: "Master Zhou, please drink!!"
"Okay." Zhou Zhenwen nodded, took a sip of wine, and looked at Princess Liu: "Princess, I thought Yuxiang Pavilion was a quiet place for tea, listening to music and playing the piano, but I didn't expect it to be a bit dusty. ah!!"
Mrs. Liu smiled lightly: "If Mr. Zhou likes this kind of play, I can also let Yuxiang Pavilion satisfy Mr. Zhou."
"That's not necessary. Deliberate pandering doesn't taste like that. Besides, Zhou has important things to attend to, so it's not convenient to be hungover here." Zhou Zhenwen smiled slightly, "Since the princess likes to get straight to the point, then Zhou will naturally cooperate!"
"Hey... Actually, it is what I should do to accompany Mr. Zhou to see the characteristics of our King Yu City." Mrs. Liu sighed slightly, "But... to be honest, I really don't have the ability to do so." I hope Mr. Zhou understands this feeling."
"When this matter is over, I will apologize to Lord Zhou again!!"
"A good treat..."
Zhou Zhenwen smiled and told Yan'er beside him: "Okay, you can go down first."
"Yes, sir." Yan'er left knowingly.
After Yan'er left, Zhou Zhenwen looked at Mrs. Liu and said straight to the point: "What the princess wants is nothing more than how to support Liang Youzhen to ascend the throne of King Yu and ensure his current power... I wonder if Zhou is right? "
"Mr. Zhou knows things like a god, and he is worthy of being the Chief Assistant. He is indeed amazing!!" Mrs. Liu did not continue to hide it, but said directly: "Now that Mr. Zhou has understood my intention, I will not go around in circles. I hope Lord Zhou will help Liang Youzhen stand up and help Liang Youzhen participate in the Liang family's ancestor worship ceremony and get rid of his identity as an illegitimate son..."
"If this can be accomplished, I will be deeply grateful!!"
Ms. Liu stared at Zhou Zhenwen nervously, waiting for his answer.
"Princess, have you ever thought about fighting Liang Youji like this... If you lose, your end will be very miserable. If you give in now, he will remember your kindness..."
Zhou Zhenwen responded calmly.
"Does Mr. Zhou think that Liang Youji will definitely win?" Mrs. Liu frowned slightly, and Zhou Zhenwen's answer caught her off guard.
Could it be that the chief minister of Zhou who came from the imperial court had already chosen Liang Youji?
Just because he has a greater chance of winning?
Princess Liu couldn't help but become nervous. If this was the case, her next situation would be very difficult.
Without Zhou Zhenwen's help, it would have been very difficult to help Liang Youji become a regular employee...
"It's not that I'm bound to win, but I don't have to do anything unsafe. The success rate of investing in Liang Youji is very high, but to be honest, the success rate of investing in the princess is not high..."
"The conditions and bargaining chips that the princess can provide, Zhou believes that Liang Youji can also provide them, and they are no worse than the princess..."
Zhou Zhenwen's attitude remained calm, like a calm lake without any ripples.
"Master Zhou...what do you want?" Princess Liu knew that ordinary things would be difficult to impress Zhou's chief minister. She thought carefully about the things in the palace, and finally thought of one - the royal treasure house.
The most precious collection of Prince Yu's Mansion.
I'm afraid only the things in it can impress this chief minister! !
"Does the princess understand me?" Zhou Zhenwen did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"At a young age, Chief Zhou is already the chief bachelor of the cabinet and the leader of the Tsing Yi Party. He is extremely powerful in the court..." Liu thought for a while and briefly explained the information he had collected.
"Then Princess, do you think I am so powerful that ordinary things can impress me? Even if you give me gold and silver, what's the use to me?" Zhou Zhenwen smiled and shook his head.
"Shoufu Zhou, I naturally know that ordinary things cannot impress you, but there is something in King Yu's city that will definitely impress you..." Mrs. Liu pondered for a moment and said with determination.
"oh?"
"What is it?"
Zhou Zhenwen asked with an interested look.
"The jade seal of the country."
Mrs. Liu stared at Zhou Zhenwen and spoke word by word.
"What did you say?"
Zhou Zhenwen's face changed slightly, and his expression gradually became serious.
"Master Chief Assistant, you heard correctly, it is the Imperial Seal." Liu's voice was calm, and there was a calmness in her words.
"The Imperial Seal has not always been in the palace...how could it be in the royal treasury of Prince Yu's Mansion?" Zhou Zhenwen frowned slightly and stared at Mrs. Liu.
"Back then, Taizu established the world, took the sacred stone from the North Sea, and tempered it with divine fire for seventy-seven and forty-nine days to refine the national jade seal that could carry the destiny of the nation for eternity..."
Mrs. Liu slowly told this story.
Zhou Zhenwen also nodded slightly and said that he had heard about this too: "It is said that when the country was founded, a golden dragon appeared in the sky above the capital of the wilderness, flying in the clouds and mist, golden light, and various strange phenomena appeared. This national jade seal was also contaminated. The destiny of the country.”
"Yes." Ms. Liu nodded, "But you only know one, not the other."
"I would like to hear the details." Zhou Zhenwen also became serious.
"The sacred stone of the North Sea is warm in color and as hard as sacred iron. When the jade seal passed down to the country was refined, there was still a part of the sacred stone left. Taizu refined it into a three-square seal and awarded it to three vassal kings. King Yu was the one of them."
Mrs. Liu revealed the secret of that year.
"A three-square small seal made from the original stone of the Chuanguo Jade Seal?" Zhou Zhenwen frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Even so, this should only be regarded as a small square seal, and how can it be regarded as the Chuanguo Kingdom's extended seal? Where is the jade seal?"
As the supreme emperor in the world and the true dragon emperor, the emperor is a representative of power, and the jade seal is also a key prop for the emperor to exert his power. However, in many cases, except for formal occasions such as being formally conferred, the emperor prefers to use personal seals and small seals.
For example, if you make a painting today, a poem tomorrow, and a lyric the day after tomorrow, it would be unofficial if they were all covered with the national jade seal. This is the origin of the small seal.
Many emperors only have thousands of small seals and private seals, which are not worth mentioning at all.
"If it is blessed by the national destiny, does it count as being able to upload the national jade seal?"
Mrs. Liu looked at Zhou Zhenwen and asked.
