Mixed martial arts: I am the best in the world

Chapter 257 Zhen Jiang
In the main hall, Cao Zhengchun and Shangguan Haitang stood aside obediently. Wu Meiniang was reading the memorial, while Zhu Shou was leaning on the rocking chair with his eyes slightly closed, seeming to be thinking about the problem.

"Your Majesty, the Zhen family makes a living by making pottery. 500 years ago, the ancestor of the Zhen family, Zhen Wu, moved from Zhongshan to Haojing. The Zhen family gradually developed. 18 years ago, Zhen Yi's daughter worshiped in the Wusheng Mansion. She was canonized as the Crown Princess." Cao Zhengchun collected the information in his hands.

"Your Majesty, Zhen's rouge shops are all over the wilderness. They are found in almost every city with a population of more than one million in the Ming Dynasty. In Jinling City, there are two. The person in charge of the entire Ming Dynasty is Zhen Yi's second brother Zhen You. This person is actually the same person. A person who is kind to others." Shangguan Haitang smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that time is short and I am incompetent, so I can only find these things temporarily."

"Your Majesty, a businessman. Neither Dongchang nor Hulong Villa paid attention to this at first. I didn't expect that this Zhen family would have such a big background." Wu Meiniang also didn't expect that Zhen family had such a big background.

"Although he is a businessman, this businessman is not simple. He is more powerful than Thirty Thousand." Zhu Shou chuckled and said: "Don't underestimate the businessmen. Maybe they have already paid attention to the situation in Jianzhou. This Jianzhou City The population has not reached one million, but the other party has already set up manpower there, what does this mean?"

"Your Majesty is wise, but this old slave is ashamed." Cao Zhengchun said quickly.

Zhu Shou waved his hand and said: "These are nothing. Hey, the Zhen family's nearly thousand years of foundation will probably be ruined in Zhen Yi's hands. It is not easy to be the prime minister. The other princes and kings will probably be afraid of the Zhen family. , who asked them to follow Emperor Zhou now!" Zhu Shou shook his head.

This clan leader of the Zhen clan has no brains. He sent his daughter to the Wu Sheng Mansion to become the Crown Princess of the Zhou Dynasty, which is a scary thing in itself. Now he actually wants to be the Prime Minister. This is how he can’t wait to serve the Emperor of Zhou. Potency.

Wouldn't the Zhen's Rouge Shop run by such a person become the eyes and ears of the Emperor and the Wu Sheng Mansion? The situation in each city could be reported to Hao Jing in a short period of time. This is something that the major princes and kings cannot tolerate. matter.

"Your Majesty, do you want to give it?" Cao Zhengchun made a murderous gesture with a ferocious look on his face. In his opinion, there was no problem that couldn't be solved by killing someone.If it cannot be solved, then there will be fewer people to kill.

Zhu Shou shook his head and said: "You can kill one, how can you kill ten? Since Wusheng Mansion wants to monitor us, let him monitor us. I, Ming Dynasty, have always been very respectful to the Emperor of Zhou, and other princes and kings I even forgot to pay tribute, but I, the Ming Dynasty, have never defaulted on arrears. We are not loyal ministers, who is the loyal minister. It’s good to have a prime minister, and it will be much easier to handle matters in the court in the future.”

Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes turned and she said, "Your Majesty, will all these memorials be handed over to the Prime Minister in the future?"

"No, according to the voting plan, the cabinet uses a black pen, the Queen uses a blue pen, and the Queen uses a red pen. As for the Prime Minister? Let the Prime Minister participate in the discussion. If you have different opinions, you can write them out separately with a black pen and attach them to the memorial." Zhu Shou said with a smile: "We can't let the other party discuss politics! Zhen Yi is well-informed after all. Maybe he can provide us with different opinions and let us have a more appropriate solution."

"Your Majesty, the Holy Ming." Wu Meiniang immediately understood that Zhen Yi, the Ming Xiang, was not simply an offering, but also needed to be used.

But how to use it is still important.You have to use your talents, but that's all. No matter whether it is the prime minister, cabinet ministers, or even Wu Meiniang, they have no decision-making power on major matters in the court.Only King Ming can decide things.

I'm afraid Zhen Yi will be in trouble and won't be able to tell anything about it.Say he has no power!But there are actually people who have power, let’s just say they have power!But it cannot determine the direction of development of things, let alone its ending.

King Ming uses him, but guards against the other party. You can see the core secrets, but how to solve it is not yours to decide.I just feel more and more frustrated.

"Although Mrs. Zhen is rich, on the surface, we cannot treat him badly and allocate a mansion to him. Will he come to take office alone this time?" Zhu Shou was a little curious.

"Your Majesty, he came with his eldest daughter." Shangguan Haitang said quickly.If you don't even know this news, then Minglou is really useless.

At the border of the Ming Dynasty, Killing the Tiger Pass is located in front of the mountains. In front of it is an endless plain. There are a group of hundreds of soldiers, each wearing armor. The armor is very gorgeous and dazzling. But the most attractive thing is not these hundreds of soldiers, but They were a group of well-dressed warriors, numbering dozens of them. The leader was a man with a scarred face, a ferocious expression, and a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The aura of these people is very powerful, and each of them has entered the level of divine transformation. However, the leader, Scarface, has a calm expression and no aura around him. He is just like a mortal. He is obviously an innate master.

These people were guarding a carriage, which looked very simple and low-key.On the roof of the car, there is a small flag moving in the wind, with the word "Zhen" embroidered on the flag.It was Zhen Yi who came to Ming Dynasty to take up his post.

At this moment, Zhen Yi was sitting in the carriage. There were many books in front of him, most of which were related to the Ming Dynasty. Opposite him sat a young woman with a soft facial frame and a round and full face, which made her appear dignified and majestic.At first glance, it is not very beautiful, but the more you look at it, the more beautiful it becomes, and the other person's gentle breath makes people feel very comfortable. This is a different kind of beauty.

She is Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of Zhen Yi.She is Zhen Mi's half-sister. They were born only an hour apart.However, at this moment, the fate of the two sides was completely different.

Zhen Mi worshiped the Martial Saint Mansion since she was a child, and was canonized as the Crown Princess when she reached adulthood. Zhen Jiang could only practice Zhen's martial arts. When she was originally preparing to get married, the groom was killed by bandits on the way to get married. Not only did Zhen Mi After that, Zhen Jiang was betrothed to others twice, but both of her fiancés died unexpectedly.

For a time, everyone in the world spread the news that Zhen Jiang was destined to marry her husband. In recent years, no one dared to come to propose marriage.Zhen Yi was also worried about her eldest daughter, so she simply came to Daming just to relax.Sure enough, after leaving Haojing, a smile gradually appeared on Zhen Jiang's face.

It's just that her daughter's mood has improved, but Zhen Yi's mood has deteriorated.Especially as the territory of Ming Dynasty got closer and closer, Zhen Yi felt fearful.

"Sir, ahead is the Killing Tiger's Pass. After passing the Killing Tiger's Pass, it is King Ming's territory." Scarface's voice came from outside the carriage.

"The Killing Tiger's Pass." Zhen Yi breathed out softly and said, "This was the place where King Mingwu beheaded the great Shang general Hu Gonghui. Therefore, the Emperor of Zhou renamed this place the Killing Tiger's Pass. Will The area south of Shahukou was given to King Wu of the Ming Dynasty. After passing the Shahukou, it was the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

"Killing the tiger's mouth?" Zhen Jiang opened the curtain and saw a majestic pass standing in the distance. Although the distance was still relatively far, Zhen Jiang still felt the pressure within it.

"Yes! The opposite side is Ming Dynasty's territory." Zhen Yi looked complicated.

"Father, are you worried that Prince Ming will embarrass you?" Zhen Jiang Bingxue was smart and instantly saw the tension and worry in Zhen Yi's heart.

"It's a lie to say that I'm not worried. King Ming became famous as a young man. He conquered the south and the north. Even Wang Chongyang was killed by him. The Southern Song Dynasty surrendered and became an official. It's not an easy task to be an official in front of such people." Zhen Yi smiled bitterly. road.

If he was just an official, Zhen Yi wouldn't have anything to worry about, but now that he was ordered by Wu Sheng Mansion and Emperor Zhou to become an official, he naturally had to be careful.

He thought of the young man he met in the East Palace before leaving. He was smiling, gentle and kind, making people fall in love with him at first sight.This is not the first time he has met each other. Every time he sees each other, he always feels different.

The emperor of Zhou was weak, but the son he gave birth to was good, wise and magnanimous, and had some prestige in Haojing. Coupled with his status, many ministers of Zhou Dynasty still admired him.

"Father, no matter how cruel King Ming is, I can't kill you! You have to give face to the Emperor and Wu Sheng Mansion!" Zhen Jiang said dissatisfied.

Zhen Yi glanced at her daughter, took out a letter from the letters next to her, handed it to Zhen Jiang, and said: "This is an urgent letter from my second uncle. My people have not arrived yet. They are in Jinling City." , King Ming will take action."

Zhen Jiang curiously took the letter and read the contents. His beauty suddenly turned pale and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Prince Ming is so decisive, he actually stopped the purchase of rouge? This, is going to put me, Mrs. Zhen, to death." Come on! The entire Zhen family's business in Ming Dynasty will suffer a heavy blow."

Zhen Yi was even more bitter. The Zhen family had a great business, and losing a little money was nothing. But this matter started in Jinling, and soon it would spread, and even the entire wilderness would know about it.

More importantly, what Zhen Mi told him would not be completed. King Ming acted decisively and solved the problem from the source in an instant, leaving him useless. He touched the brocade box on one side. The brocade box was very exquisite. It was originally prepared. What was given to the concubines of the royal family can only be kept with them and wait for the opportunity.

"Father, I'm afraid King Ming has spies in the capital. According to what my second uncle said, you had just accepted the emperor's canonization in Haojing. Even when the emperor had just had such an idea, King Ming started to take action." Zhen Jiang put the letter on the aside.

She also had another guess in her heart, that is, even if there was no incident of Ming Xiang, Prince Ming would still attack Zhen. However, this guess was too scary, and it only flashed through Zhen Jiang's mind.

"The success of King Ming is not accidental. Jiang Er, you and I must be careful when we go to Jinling this time. Your second uncle may have to leave Ming." Zhen Yi sighed: "The current situation in Ming is not suitable for him to stay there. .”

"Father, don't worry. Wherever the father goes, the daughter will go." Zhen Jiang said quickly.

"Okay, okay, you are not young anymore. This is Ming Dynasty, not Haojing. When the time comes, I will see if there is a suitable one for my father and make a marriage for you." Zhen Yi said again.

Zhen Jiang's pink face changed color after hearing this, and she whispered: "Father, no need, my daughter is fine like this."

Zhen Yi wanted to say something else, but looking at her daughter's appearance, she could only sigh.
