Xiao Shuyu met Zhao Shan for the first time.
Before, I had only heard about Zhao Shan. I knew that Zhao Shan was good at fighting. I also knew that Zhao Shan was decisive in killing and working hard to conquer. Today, Daqian is getting better and better, and there are even signs of resurgence.
According to the current development, the Daqian court has a bright future.
If her son establishes a virtuous reputation in the court early, she will have great hope for her future life. Once his son becomes the wise king of Daqian, he might be able to leave his name in history and become a very influential lineage of Daqian.
This is Xiao Shuyu's plan.
As for helping Zhao Rui unconditionally, Xiao Shuyu had no intention of doing so at all. She was just taking advantage of King Chu.
Xiao Shuyu has long seen that a waste like Zhao Rui could not conquer the world before, and it is even more impossible now. Zhao Shan had not been defeated before, but now he is getting stronger and more unlikely to be killed.
Staying in the court is the best choice.
Just like this, Xiao Shuyu hopes to let her son Zhao Ce open the mansion.
Zhao Ce is young, so if he wants to open a palace, he must be crowned king. As long as Zhao Ce becomes a king and opens a palace, Zhao Ce can slowly become famous and gain experience. When her son becomes an adult in the future, he will try to get her to leave this cold palace, and everything will be fine.
Xiao Shuyu smiled sweetly and said: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan said: "The concubine does not need to be polite. I heard that the concubine is virtuous, and Zhao Ce is young and smart, so I made a special trip to see her."
Xiao Shuyu quickly showed modesty and signaled to Zhao Ce.
Zhao Ce quickly said: "Zhao Ce pays homage to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan put his hand on Zhao Ce's head and touched it, rubbed his hair, pinched his baby-fat cheeks, and praised: "Polite and well-behaved, he is a good boy and a good seedling."
Xiao Shuyu didn't know Zhao Shan's purpose, so she waved her hand and said: "Your Majesty, please!"
Zhao Shan nodded and strode into the palace.
The hall is very simple, with no screens, porcelain, or expensive calligraphy and paintings. There are only a few unsigned calligraphy paintings, all of which are inspirational quotes.
From this aspect, Xiao Shuyu is extremely knowledgeable. She understands the uselessness of a luxurious life and the importance of reading.
If Xiao Shuyu gave up on herself and only cared about having fun, the son she would raise would be the same. Xiao Shuyu has a calm temperament, and the sons she teaches will never be too bad.
After Zhao Shan sat down, he looked at Xiao Shuyu who was very reserved and ordered: "Sit down, don't be restrained."
Xiao Shuyu thanked her and sat down.
Zhao Ce sat aside.
After some pleasantries, Zhao Shan ordered: "Cer, go play, I have something to discuss with your mother and concubine."
"I obey!"
Zhao Ce stood up and saluted respectfully before leaving in a polite manner. Every move he makes shows the rules. To be able to do this at this age shows that Xiao Shuyu definitely put a lot of thought into it.
Xiao Shuyu waited for Zhao Shan to speak, but Zhao Shan did not say a word, causing the atmosphere in the hall to be very solemn.
Xiao Shuyu was also beating a drum in her heart.
The emperor in front of him killed powerful ministers in difficult times, defeated invading enemies, and achieved countless victories in conquests from east to west.
By no means a general person.
Just like this, Xiao Shuyu did not act rashly.
In fact, the letter sent by Zhao Rui said that Qin Yueyao should first seduce Zhao Shan and suppress the courtiers, especially Zhuge Shang and Fang Weihu, and then Qin Yueyao should assassinate Zhao Shan.
Xiao Shuyu did not follow the plan and only hoped to settle her son first.
Even so, Xiao Shuyu was nervous and cheered up: "Your Majesty is coming to Hanqi Palace today. What are your orders?"
Zhao Shan glanced sideways at Xiao Shuyu and said, "I'm thinking about how to deal with you and Zhao Ce."
brush!
Xiao Shuyu's expression changed slightly and she asked, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Zhao Shan said: "Last night, Hui concubine told me about your request and suggested that I use more royal clan members to train my own people. I thought about it carefully. When the country is in crisis, each clan member will You are cowering, why should I train you?"
Xiao Shuyu said quickly: "Your Majesty is the emperor of Daqian and the supreme king. But if your Majesty wants to govern Daqian, it is definitely not enough to rely on outsiders alone, and only your own talents are the most reliable. That is why I will ask Hui Bin, please intercede on your behalf."
Zhao Shan sneered and said: "In today's big cadre, those who are on my side and help me are all outsiders. The people you call our own include Zhao Yong, Zhao Fan, Zhao Rui, Zhao Gou, and others. Countless local clans are eager to overthrow me and ascend the throne as emperor."
Xiao Shuyu defended: "Everyone your Majesty encounters are wolfish and ambitious. The clan members such as Ce'er are young and have not yet finalized their character. They can be cultivated. They will definitely be His Majesty's right-hand man in the future."
Zhao Shan glanced at Xiao Shuyu with a deep look, and said with a smile: "I think they are all the same, maybe these people have more vicious thoughts."
Xiao Shuyu said: "Your Majesty is serious."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "The evil of human nature is sometimes beyond imagination. For example, in your heart, are you thinking that after I have wiped out Zhao Rui, Zhao Gou and others, you will let Qin Yueyao poison me to death? Your son is serving as a vassal in the court again. King, can I be welcomed as the emperor?"
brush!
Xiao Shuyu's expression changed drastically.
She actually had a thought like this, but she killed it immediately.
Because Zhao Shan is too powerful.
Xiao Shuyu ignored Zhao Rui's arrangement and only hoped that her son would do well and strive to become a useful vassal king.
Xiao Shuyu knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have such thoughts. Please tell me clearly."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Why do I think so? Hui Bin is from Xiangyang, you are also from Xiangyang, and they are all related to Zhao Rui."
hiss!
Xiao Shuyu took a breath.
She suddenly thought of a possibility. Zhao Shan might have gained insight into Qin Yueyao's identity, but he just didn't explain it.
Xiao Shuyu was terrified.
At this moment, Xiao Shuyu knew that ordinary conditions were not enough to impress Zhao Shan or even dispel Zhao Shan's suspicion. It's a pity that she is old and is no longer a young girl.
Otherwise, can you still use your own advantages?
Xiao Shuyu thought about the situation of King Chu. She was not in a superior-subordinate relationship with King Chu Zhao Rui, nor was she loyal to Zhao Rui. It was only in the chaotic situation that King Chu gave Xiao Shuyu some help and money to maintain the relationship.
It is naturally impossible for her to work for the King of Chu.
Xiao Shuyu thought about this, thinking about Zhao Ce's future and Zhao Shan's plans, and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Zhao Shan said: "What's the big deal?"
Xiao Shuyu replied: "The King of Chu, Zhao Rui, arranged for someone to contact me and tell me that Qin Yueyao is his and will stay with His Majesty to charm you, and may even harm Your Majesty in the future."
"Zhao Rui asked me to contact Qin Yueyao and ask Qin Yueyao to confuse His Majesty and attack Zhuge Shang and others. I made no arrangements. I just asked Qin Yueyao to suggest that Your Majesty reuse the clan."
Zhao Shan said: "Is that all?"
Seeing that Zhao Shan was not satisfied, Xiao Shuyu said again: "I also know who in the harem has contact with the King of Chu, and who has contact with the King of Wu and Zhao Gou. In addition, I also know who is from Zhao Rui and Zhao Gou." "
Zhao Shan had a smile on his face.
This is right!
How is it possible to always want to gain benefits and benefits without giving any information? Now it seems that Xiao Shuyu is the real person who is waiting for the price, not a stupid woman who has gone all the way.
