Early morning the next day.
In Fengtian Palace, Zhu Qizhen announced the distribution of market shares.
Thirty-seven open.
The ministers didn't have much of an opinion. Who should let them be justified?
Seventy percent, just seventy percent.
But after understanding the specific distribution, they couldn't bear it anymore.
Emperor seven, three of them?
Then can't they kneel down and beg for food?
Kneel down, just kneel down. Who makes others the king and they the ministers?
But it is impossible to beg for food. This is their bottom line. There is only one emperor, but there are thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty who make money around maritime trade.
How much money can you make with such a small score?
In particular, there was Shen Xin in Jinling. Suzhou and Hangzhou, and even the whole of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, were affected by the chaos.
Now that Zhu Qizhen is doing this, he is simply killing them.
Naturally, the ministers are not willing to do so, and they talk a lot about putting the people first and putting the people first.
But no matter how good they said, Zhu Qizhen remained unmoved.
He has the capital to be strong-willed, and the worst outcome would be to make the same mistake again, but even then he can find a way to calm down.
What's more, now he is taking advantage of the shortcomings of the ministers, and he will directly kill anyone who dares to go against him.
After finally reaching this point, Zhu Qizhen was unwilling to compromise.
The facts were indeed as he expected. The ministers had no choice but to do so. After all, they did not want to die.
Zhu Qizhen was very happy. He finally won once and for all without any compromise or compromise.
For him, this was a landmark breakthrough.
But Li Qing couldn't be happy. Things couldn't be that simple.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, he met Zhu Qizhen alone and tried to reason with Zhu Qizhen, but the result was not ideal.
Zhu Qizhen is very tough now. He has the ability and confidence to deal with it, so why should he give in?
His reasons are very good, but Li Qing's great principles appear to be a sign of weakness.
"Sir, you are just too cautious." Zhu Qizhen was still grateful to Li Qing and his words were polite, "Prudence is a good thing, but being too cautious is not advisable."
Li Qing smiled bitterly: You are the only one who is taking lessons from me, you are so lost!
This time, Zhu Qizhen did not listen to him.
Li Qing also had no good reason to convince Zhu Qizhen. In short, this was a failed conversation.
Walking out of the gate of Qianqing Palace, Li Qing suddenly felt a sense of regret. If he had known this, he would not have been in a hurry to plan this matter, or he would have taken this situation into consideration before planning.
There is no way, human ability is limited after all, how can Li Qing have a perfect plan for everything.
"Let's take it one step at a time." Li Qing sighed and was about to leave the palace, but was stopped by a voice: "Mr. Li, stay here."
Li Qing stopped and was startled when he saw the person coming, "Is it you?"
"Sir, remember your maid?"
"I have the impression that your name is Zhen'er, right?"
"They say noble people forget their things, but it seems the rumors are untrue." Zhen'er nodded with a smile, a bit flattering, "Sir, could you please lend me a moment?"
Li Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
The two of them came to the shade of a secluded tree. Zhen'er looked around and saw no one around, so she bowed and said, "Zhen'er has met Mr."
"No need to be polite, the Queen Mother sent you, right?" Li Qing asked.
Zhen'er nodded: "Yes, but not entirely."
"Oh?" Li Qing was surprised, "What do you mean by this?"
"Zhen'er also wants to ask for help from sir."
Li Qing smiled, "This is really strange, okay, let's talk about the Empress Dowager first?"
"The Queen Mother wants to win over you." Zhen'er said, "If you agree, it will be beneficial."
"Yes." Li Qing nodded, indicating to continue.
"No, it's my servant's business next." Zhen'er was a little anxious.
Li Qing was speechless: "You are really good at delivering messages. Okay, I'm not interested."
With that said, he turned and left.
Zhen'er hurriedly ran in front of him, stretched out her arms to stop Li Qing, "I beg you, sir, to listen to your servant's request."
"You are asking for life, right?" Li Qing sneered, "I can't help you with this. You should have expected this result from the moment you drugged the queen."
"In a deep palace, people can't help themselves. Who is a born evil person?" Zhen'er said bitterly, "A little person like me is just a tool for others. I have no control over whether I am good or bad."
Li Qing understood this, but understanding was understanding, and he had no reason to help the palace maid.
"I'm sorry, the emperor is deeply in love with the queen, and I can't help you." Li Qing said bluntly, "To put it bluntly, why do you ask me to help you?"
"My servant has capital." Zhen'er puffed up her chest.
Li Qing was ashamed: "I admit that you are quite handsome, but do you overestimate yourself?"
Zhen'er was stunned, then her face turned red with embarrassment and her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Sir, you misunderstood. This is not what the maid said."
"That's not it?" Li Qing touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Then what do you mean?"
"My servant is a popular figure around the Queen Mother." Zhen'er said, "As long as the Emperor doesn't kill me, I can provide him with information about the Queen Mother."
Li Qing pondered and nodded: "This is a good bargaining chip, but...you betrayed the Queen Mother, isn't this just seeking death?"
"I've calculated it. There is a risk, but it's not big." Zhen'er said firmly, "I'm willing to take a gamble."
Li Qing looked her up and down, and suddenly became interested. The people in this palace were really extraordinary.
"Tell me why."
"Yes." Zhen'er had no choice but to try her best to satisfy Li Qing, "The emperor knows that I am the Queen Mother's confidant. As long as the Emperor wants to keep track of the Queen Mother's movements, he will not put me to death, so the risk of my exposure is It’s not big.”
"It makes sense." Li Qing nodded, but still didn't understand: "Since you are the Queen Mother's confidant, there is no reason for the Queen Mother not to protect you. Logically speaking, you should hug the Queen Mother's thigh tightly to survive!"
"I'm hugging her now," Zhen'er said. "I even advertised everywhere that I was hers in order to make her have to protect me, but... I have no confidence in her anymore."
"It's interesting." Li Qing rubbed his chin, nodded and said, "Continue talking."
Zhen'er nodded: "The Emperor is too domineering and too strong. Even the Queen Mother...ahem, she couldn't do anything to the Emperor when such a big thing happened, and the civil servants who were waiting for the opportunity were also suppressed by the Emperor.
Moreover, Eunuch Wang, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is also safe and sound. All signs indicate that if the Emperor is determined to kill me, the Queen Mother will not be able to save me even if she wants to. ”gòйЪ.ōΓg
Oops... Li Qing couldn't help but marvel: This little girl is so smart despite her age.
This plan, tsk tsk tsk...there are indeed crouching tigers, hidden dragons inside and outside the palace!
In terms of scheming and wisdom, this little girl is no less generous than the official literati.
"How old are you?"
"Sir, my maid is sixteen this year." Zhen'er said with a blush. She might have mistaken her meaning, and said that Li Qing was attracted by his good looks. "Um...Sir, this is the palace after all, and there are many people. , when this servant comes out of the palace, you can do whatever you want."
Li Qing rolled his eyes: "I'm overthinking it. I'm just curious about your age."
"Well, the last question." Li Qing said, "The Empress Dowager is the master of the harem and has many spies. Are you so confident that you won't be discovered?"
"Because there are adults." Zhen'er said flatteringly, "My maid is following the Queen Mother's order to make friends with you sir."
"You want me to be a mouthpiece?" Li Qing tutted, "You're really planning on this. If I'm a mouthpiece, you have to agree to the Queen Mother and pretend to be in the same camp with her. In this way, you can achieve your goal and give orders to the Queen Mother. ,
Don't tell me, you little girl is so mean-spirited. "
Zhen'er blushed and said coquettishly: "Nothing can be hidden from my lord's discernment, hahaha... I am really convinced, my lord is so..."
"Stop filming, I won't do this." Li Qing interrupted her.
Zhen'er was afraid of offending him, so she quickly shut up and stared at him expectantly.
After a while, Li Qing suddenly laughed: "It's interesting, it's so interesting, Infernal Affairs, okay, let's have fun."
Zhen'er didn't understand what Infernal Affairs was, but she understood what Li Qing meant.
Suddenly, excited ecstasy flashed in her eyes. She knew Li Qing's energy to some extent, and the fact that the Queen Mother wanted to win over him now was enough to illustrate Li Qing's ability.
Zhen'er's eyes were filled with mist. Finally, there was a high probability that she wouldn't have to die.
She cried with joy: "Thank you, sir, for your help. If Zhen'er can survive this disaster, one day..."
"You, a palace maid, have nothing to repay." Li Qing sneered and waved his hand, "I just did it for fun."
