Qiao Zhongguo was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Holy Emperor would give Jiaojiao such a great favor on the first day he ascended the throne.
Qiao Jiaojiao was still muttering in her heart. It turned out that when she sat in the emperor's seat and looked down, she had a sense of control that she could see all the little movements.
As a result, she suddenly heard that Shen Yuanzhan wanted to make her the county head.
Qiao Jiaojiao: Huh?
Where did the wealth come from?
She was originally here to act cute and ease the situation for her father and eldest brother, but she ended up earning a county title?
Shen Yuanzhan couldn't help but cough slightly when he saw Qiao Zhongguo didn't respond for a long time.
Qiao Zhongguo raised his head when he heard the sound and saw Shen Yuanzhan blinking at him, to the effect of:
Qiao Aiqing, you must not think that the county master is too small, at least leave some room for me, otherwise you will be unable to seal me in the future, and you will embarrass me.
Ministers: (•̅灬•̅ )
Ahhhh!
The Holy One actually gave such blatant preference to the Qiao family, damn it! They all saw that little look just now!
When Qiao Zhongguo saw that the new emperor protected their Qiao family in this way, he felt extremely grateful and immediately knelt down to thank him:
"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty. I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my little girl!"
Qiao Jiaojiao: ◟(∗˙ ꒵ ˙∗)◞
【Wow! I am the head of the county~]
Shen Yuanzhan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
He looked around and saw that the ministers were still there, so he held Qiao Jiaojiao in one hand and supported his chin with the other, and asked with a smile:
"Why, dear ladies, do you have any opinions?"
Ministers: (ꐦ ´͈ ᗨ `͈ )
"The Holy One is wise!"
The Holy One has praised the Qiao family so much, how dare any of them have any objections?
Damn it, look at how proud Mr. Qiao is, his butt is sticking up to the sky!
Qiao Zhongguo inexplicably felt scorching eyes staring at his butt, "..."
Shen Yuanzhan waved his hand, "Let's have a banquet!"
During the whole banquet, Qiao Jiaojiao kept rotating in the arms of the Emperor, the Queen and the Queen Mother, and her feet never touched the ground!
The ministers' reluctance gradually turned into envy and jealousy.
If I had known earlier, I would have stopped using the excuse of "being weak" and worked harder in bed, and I would have given birth to such a cute little daughter with my old wife at home!
The old wife on the side: (|||❛︵❛.)
dislike! Don't get involved!
...
The banquet was coming to an end. When Shen Yuanzhan stood up, everyone in the banquet also stopped and stood up.
Shen Yuanzhan looked at the people sitting down, then turned his head and whispered to Xiao Qianlan beside him:
"Lan'er, I want to leave my father-in-law to talk for a while, so that my mother-in-law and my second sister can spend more time with you, okay?"
Jiaojiao was being held in Xiao Qianlan's arms. When she heard this, she was immediately stuffed with a mouthful of dog food.
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu2uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu2uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu On the surface, the young emperor who claims to be one and the same, secretly not only calls himself "I", but also calls Sister Xiao "Lan'er" so tenderly, I'm going to go crazy! 】
Xiao Qianlan's eyebrows were curved, her head was slightly lowered, and she lowered her voice and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen. Lan'er also wants to talk more with her mother and second sister."
Qiao Jiaojiao: ♡( ˃᷄˶˶̫˶˂᷅ ) fell to the ground covering her heart! ! !
【ah! Shen Lang! What a blast! 】
Shen Yuanzhan called Qiao Zhongguo and Xiao Hongda away alone, and even the fourth child also called out.
Several people came to the imperial study room all the way, and the person accompanying them was the young eunuch Liu Fuzi.
At this time, Shen Yuanzhan talked about national affairs seriously.
"Qiao Aiqing, I have carefully read the book you submitted before. It is very thoughtful."
"It's just that there is no turning back when the bow is fired. After careful consideration, I am still willing to spend longer time preparing in exchange for fewer casualties."
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his heart instantly felt warm. He bowed and said:
"The Holy One loves his people like his own children, which is a blessing to the world. This war is inevitable, but as the Holy One said, adequate preparations can make us fight more confidently."
"Although the public has a lot of hatred for the North Kingdom now, we still need to find a reason to ensure that the division is famous, and before declaring war on the North Kingdom, we must first deal with the relationship with the Nanli Kingdom."
The Qiao family had already reported to Shen Yuanzhan about Shen Yuanbai's escape to Nanli.
"According to Princess Nanning, the maid Yinzhu in front of Yu Liu has been using her identity as the eldest prince's concubine as a cover-up to participate in the struggle for the throne of the Nanli royal family."
"Now that Shen Yuanbai has joined in, the situation in the royal family of Nanli Kingdom will definitely become even more chaotic."
"If we can't secure Nanli first before attacking the Northern Kingdom, and Shen Yuanbai interferes, I'm afraid our Yong Dynasty will be attacked from both sides."
Shen Yuanzhan nodded with deep understanding after hearing this, "I also have this concern in my heart."
When it comes to Nanli Country, Xiao Hongda obviously has more say.
"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, next September will be the fifty-fifth birthday of the leader of the Nanli Kingdom. According to the custom of the Nanli Kingdom, there will be a big event every fifth day."
"Last time, the leader of the Nanli Kingdom sent the third prince to congratulate the Supreme Emperor on his birthday. The courtesy was reciprocated. Should we also send someone to congratulate him then?"
"I would venture to guess that the leader of the Nanli Kingdom should also send an invitation, and the Northern Kingdom may also be invited."
Shen Yuanzhan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "The words of the abbot touched my heart. This is exactly what I want to mention!"
"According to reports from informants, the leader of the Nanli Kingdom is vaguely interested in retiring. According to rumors, he may choose the next leader on his birthday next year."
"We cannot miss such a grand event."
This sentence has great meaning.
Should I not miss my birthday, or should I not miss the choice of the new master...
Xiao Hongda thought for a while and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, there are three princes in Nanli Kingdom. The eldest prince is a bargaining chip for Shen Yuanbai and Yinzhu."
"The second prince and his ministers have dealt with each other, and they are quite ruthless, radical and belligerent. Several small-scale riots in the southern border are inseparable from his handiwork."
"From this point of view, perhaps the third prince becoming the new king is the most beneficial to our Yong Dynasty."
Shen Yuanzhan was equally impressed by Baili Chengyou.
"The third prince has a lot of beauty in his chest, and his future will definitely not be easy..."
Shen Yuanzhan did not refute Xiao Hongda's words. It was obvious that everyone knew that Baili Chengyou was the most suitable to become the leader of Nanli Kingdom, even though he might also be a powerful enemy.
"The envoy to Nanli should first appoint the king's father. There is still more than a year. Don't worry, let me see what the third prince's methods are."
Shen Yuanzhan was also curious about how far Baili Chengyou could fight with Shen Yuanbai.
"Qiao Aiqing, I will leave it to you to prepare for war with the Northern Kingdom. Aiqing, just let your hands and feet go and do it boldly. I will definitely support Aiqing."
Qiao Zhongguo got the right message and respectfully accepted the order.
After Qiao Zhongguo and Xiao Hongda said goodbye, Shen Yuanzhan looked at Xiao Si aside, smiled and stepped forward to touch his head.
"Come on, brother, take the Junior Four exam. What did you hear tonight?"
