Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 195 It’s better to wait for internal friction

"It's not your original intention, so what do you mean?" The queen ignored Zhu Youxiao and asked directly with a cold face.

"I am thinking that after the war in Liaodong is concluded, I will take Hailanzhu back to Beijing." Wang Qi looked extremely calm, not disturbed by the fact that he was facing the queen.

"Or do you want to take her back to Beijing?" Zhang Yan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "Do you think Princess Ningde is not enough?"

"Ningde is a gift from the emperor, and she will also be the mother-in-law of my family in the future. I dare not act rashly," Wang Qi bowed: "But as a man, he cannot break his trust with a weak woman and welcome Hai Lanzhu and his daughter back to the house. , being the heroine of a house is also the duty of a minister."

"Duty?" At this time, the queen didn't care that the emperor was beside her, and laughed angrily: "You think my royal daughter is easy to bully? You are an unparalleled contribution to the Ming Dynasty. If you want to have three wives and four concubines, you only need to The Emperor has no objection, who dares to say otherwise? Even Princess Ningde will be offended when the time comes!"

"I don't dare!" Wang Qi stood there without any extra explanation, just bowed his head and said, "I don't dare!"

Only villains and women are difficult to raise.

At this time, if Wang Qi said one more word, in the Queen's ears, it would be all reasons.

Listening to the queen questioning Wang Qi several times in succession, Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting aside, was helpless.

Ever since the Queen Mother heard that a prairie woman had entered Beijing in a sedan chair from the Duke of Lang's Palace and entered the Duke's Palace, she rushed directly from the Kunning Palace to the Qianqing Palace to question Emperor Tianqi about the matter, but she learned that Zhu Youxiao was also confused about this matter. Although Wang Qi had already explained the matter to Zhu Youxiao an hour ago, but at this time, aren't you going to kill it first and tell it later? What's the point of discounting?

"How do you plan to place that woman?" Zhu Youxiao frowned and looked at Wang Qi: "I remind you, you have to think about Ningde!"

"It's just a matter of marrying back to the house. They both have status. Ningde is my wife and Hailanzhu is my concubine. This is the right thing to do and I know it." Wang Qi nodded, indicating that he knew what he was thinking.

"If Ningde knew about this, I'm afraid he would have cried all his tears." The queen on the side, her chest rising and falling, was obviously still very angry: "Mr. Langguo, I want to ask you, what will you do to the people of the world with this move? look?"

From the moment he walked in, he was questioned by the Queen as if he were reprimanding a primary school student. Wang Qi also patiently explained, but now the Queen's words did not make sense.

What do people in the world think?
  When I, Wang Qi, marry a wife, do I have to worry about the public opinion of the world?

"I believe that stability is the most important thing in the house. As for what the people in the world think, I have never thought about it and I don't care." Wang Qi answered with a straight face. Apart from being indifferent, he also kept others away.

"Okay, okay, I will criticize him, queen, don't be angry," Zhu Youxiao saw that the atmosphere was tense. If he doesn't get it right, it won't end well! He immediately spoke up and acted as peacemaker: "The Queen is also pregnant today. Let's go and rest first. Don't be tired. Someone, please help the Queen back to the palace to rest!"

The queen glanced at Zhu Youxiao angrily, and then looked at Wang Qi. She knew that as a queen, she seemed to have lost her decency by talking too much, so she could only stand up with the help of the palace maid and walked towards the side hall.

"I heard that that girl is also pregnant?" Zhang Yan took two steps, then suddenly stopped and turned to ask Wang Qi.

"I have been pregnant for the past four months, half a month earlier than the empress," Wang Qi replied with a bow, avoiding looking up from the queen.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Yan reached out and touched her belly. The shape of her four-month-old figure was already very obvious.
  "Now that she's here, treat her well. However, as for Ningde, you have to support her in the future!" The Queen's voice was unquestionable and firm.

"I obey!" Wang Qi's tone became more respectful.

Not long after, the queen left Shi Shiran
  "Huh, sit down," Zhu Youxiao wiped the sweat from his head and cursed at Wang Qi: "Why did you come here? A grassland woman just rewarded some gold, silver and jewels to pass away. Now it's out of control. Are you done? I'm fine, but it's hard to explain to the Queen and Ning De!"

Judging from Zhu Youxiao's appearance, it was obvious that he was pretending to be so angry because the Queen was here just now.
  Wang Qi sometimes stumbles, right?

This discovery made Zhu Youxiao, who used to regard Wang Qi as a wise man and a demon, feel that Wang Qi is also a flesh and blood man, and he is also a man who is trapped by passionate women. This is not easy!

"Your Majesty should know that women are sometimes more difficult to deal with than slaves," Wang Qi smiled bitterly and sat on the round stool given by the emperor.

"Okay, you can take care of Hailanzhu's affairs yourself. I won't ask anything. The only thing is that Princess Ningde cannot be hurt." Zhu Youxiao drew the bottom line for Wang Qi. No matter what, the dignity of the Tian family must be maintained. .

"I understand."

"Well, let's talk about things in Liaodong," Zhu Youxiao chatted for a few words, and then brought the topic to the only major event in the court recently: "Xiong Tingbi is already gearing up. I heard that the Jurchens in Shenyang City have already There is civil strife, Daishan and Azig are fighting each other. What do you think about this?"

"Your Majesty, no matter how bloody hell Shenyang City is now and how endless the civil strife is, our plan remains unchanged." Wang Qi shook his head and said solemnly: "Waiting for the pay, waiting for the war, waiting for the food and supplies, and then we will slowly make plans. , eating away at it step by step, crushing it to death step by step among the white mountains and black waters of Liaodong, without giving it a chance to move around!"

"I'm worried that I missed this opportunity. I'll do it next time," Zhu Youxiao smacked his lips, obviously hearing a lot of talk about encouraging the war, and was a little moved.

"Your Majesty, you can get one hundred taels of silver in ten days. If you bet now, there is a 50% chance of getting one hundred taels of silver. How do you choose?" Seeing Zhu Youxiao's urgency, Wang Qi could only ask with examples.

"This," Zhu Youxiao touched his head, still hesitant.

"Your Majesty, have you heard from Xiong Tingbi?" Wang Qi continued.

"Xiong Aiqing, my advice is the same as Aiqing's." Zhu Youxiao stood up and took two steps, laughing: "But in my opinion, Xiong Tingbi's opinions are not all from your Duke Lang? What's the difference? ?”

"We don't know whether the movements in Shenyang City are true or not, and Daishan now controls the entire Jurchen tribe. If we invade at this time, it will give Daishan the opportunity to rectify the internal and external affairs, and with the help of external pressure from us, we can completely twist the Jurchen tribe into a single rope. , forming a force for Jedi counterattack, I am not willing to take this risk." Wang Qi also stood up and continued to explain: "If it is slowly worn out, the power of Daishan will continue to weaken in the internal fighting. , when the time comes, Jianzhou’s internal friction will be our biggest help.”

"Internal friction?" Zhu Youxiao smacked the word Wang Qi recently coined.

Internal friction?
  This word is very interesting.
