The entire northwest is guarded by the Duke of Zhenguo. The princes are fighting openly and secretly, all thinking about marrying the Duke of Zhenguo, which has been a headache for His Majesty.

Jiang Ningning, the second daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, is a female cavalry general. She is already sixteen years old and has not yet found a suitable husband.

The reason why she couldn't find a husband was not because she was ugly, but because Jiang Ningning had said, "I won't be a concubine, and I won't allow men to take concubines. If you want to marry me, you must swear in black and white that you won't take concubines. If you do take concubines, I will kill him."

All the princes, including the crown prince, could not do it.

Gu Shaoyu's idea was to make Zhang Hexuan the second son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"The Duke of Zhenguo probably despises Zhang Hexuan because he is a commoner and doesn't like him. However, if Zhang Hexuan is in charge of Yuzhou, which is the supplier of food and fodder for the Duke of Zhenguo, and if he makes Zhang Hexuan sign a written agreement that he will never take a concubine, and Zhang Hexuan's family background is also worthy of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, under these three conditions, the Duke of Zhenguo will naturally agree to let Zhang Hexuan be his son-in-law."

"If the Duke of Zhenguo agrees to make Zhang Hexuan his son-in-law, I will go to His Majesty and tell him that Zhang Hexuan is the Duke of Zhenguo's son-in-law, and ask His Majesty to give Zhang Hexuan a position as a seventh-rank county magistrate. His Majesty will definitely agree happily."

"Mr. Ying, the governor of Yuzhou, is already fifty years old and is still a fifth-rank official. The difference between a fifth-rank official in a local area and a fifth-rank official in the capital is like heaven and earth. If Minister Zhang helps him find a fifth-rank official position in the capital, won't he be grateful?"

"In order for his son to take office quickly, Minister Zhang will definitely actively find a vacant position for Lord Ying."

"As long as Lord Ying leaves Yuzhou and comes to Jingdu to retire, Zhang Hexuan can take up the post immediately, and the whole matter will be completely resolved."

Gu Ge Lao pinched his wife's face and said, "You say, it's simple, right? Did I make a lot of money?"

Xie Zhaozhao was stunned by what he heard, and was full of admiration. What a great trick to get something for nothing. Ah, no, what a great chess game with all the tricks! !

Except for the Crown Prince and Prince Qi and his gang, it can be said that everyone is happy. The Lord has won!

"Do you admire me?"

Xie Zhaozhao gave him a sincere hug without saying a word.

With her face pressed against his chest, she said with deep admiration: "Thank you, Lord."

"Well, let's try the picture books in your box tonight, okay?"

Xie Zhaozhao was stunned, raised his head and looked at his serious eyes. His admiration for his unparalleled wisdom in handling things was broken in a second.

Her face turned red, and she always felt that the previous and current cabinet ministers were not the same person.

But, she couldn't refuse.

She took out the small book from the bottom of her box and read it under the light. She was so embarrassed that she almost died.

But Gu Shaoyu looked at it very seriously and said to her, "I think these are too basic. I have better ones."

He actually took out a book from his arms.

Xie Zhaozhao was stunned: "You, you, why do you carry it with you?"

I was discovered. Is this okay?

Gu Shaoyu didn't feel embarrassed at all: "I've already thought about it. If you finish reading it, I will destroy it to avoid being seen by others."

"Then you didn't think about what would happen if someone saw you?"

"Then I will hide it desperately. I can't destroy it before you see it, right? It's very expensive! When I bought it, the person told me that it was obtained from Xiandou and Daqian didn't have it. They asked me for 20 taels of silver!"

"20 taels of silver, you..."

A small booklet like this would cost at most one tael of silver, right?

Such a shrewd Lord Gu was actually deceived.

"I have seen it before, but I dare not burn it. I am afraid you will not believe it and think that I made it up on my own."

The man tried hard to take credit, "Little sweetie, am I good?"

What a great head!

Qingpuyuan was cleared today.

In the dark night, fireflies peek in with lanterns in hand, and crickets chirp “go, go, go” to chase people away!

"Little sweetheart, this is great, would you like to try it?"

"Do not"

"Little boy..."

"Stop yelling."

"Little darling, let's do it again"

……

The candles in Qingpuyuan are lit until the morning.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't want to move anymore, not at all.

All the admiration and gratitude towards Lord Gu turned into a helpless roll of the eyes.

"Little sweetheart, I have to go to court. You should take a good rest. I have another book over there..."

"Burn it, burn it quickly..."

"But I haven't bought it yet!" Gu Shaoyu tried hard to suppress the smile on his lips and said, "I paid the deposit."

"Back off!" Xie Zhaozhao pulled a sheet to cover his head.

Gu Shaoyu changed his clothes by himself, went out and said to Manman who was waiting outside: "Madam, please sleep a little longer, don't call her."

Manman agreed: "Yes."

Gu Shaoyu added: "Whether it's the old lady or anyone else, just say it was me who said that no one is allowed to disturb her rest."

"Yes, thank you, uncle."

Manman was so happy that she smiled. The elder was so good to his young lady.

Gu Shaoyu walked out of the door in high spirits. Bei Chen flashed out at the door and said, "Lord, last night, the prince went to the prince's mansion to report your visit to the Zhang family."

"Well," Gu Shaoyu didn't take it seriously at all, and told Bei Chen, "Keep watching what he's doing."

Three days later, Princess Xiyan, the Queen, and the Queen Mother specifically called Emperor Hui to the harem.

Princess Xiyan: "Royal brother, you took the Zhang family's matter high and put it low. Who will respect the royal family in the future?"

Emperor Hui: "Princess, are you here to attack me? Zhang Hexuan didn't say anything about you, did he? As for the man who said the stallion, I have already caught him. He is the prince's disciple! If the princess really wants to punish him, the prince will be implicated."

"This..." Princess Xiyan was speechless.

The Queen kept her mouth shut and just listened.

The Queen Mother spoke first: "Xi Yan, forget about this matter. From now on, ask your Prince Consort to be more restrained."

"Mother, why have you changed?"

Princess Xiyan and the Queen Mother had agreed that when His Majesty came, they would give him a warning. His throne was given to him by the Wei family, so he wouldn't forget his roots, right?

The prince was determined to take down the Zhang family, but he had never found a good excuse. This time, he could catch them for disrespect and take down Shangshu Zhang, and then completely eradicate the Zhang family.

Didn’t the Zhang family side with Prince Qi?

Who is King Qi?

Your Majesty wants to support Prince Qi to replace the Crown Prince? Don't even think about it!

Every big family has its share of dirty deeds. There are countless secret affairs in the backyard alone. If just one hole is torn, the Zhang family can be uprooted.

Otherwise, the incident would not have happened. When Prince Qi saw that the situation was not right, he immediately abandoned the Zhang family, and other ministers also retreated.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty not only did not execute Zhang Hexuan, but also arranged a marriage between Zhang Hexuan and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is a neutral faction. They are only loyal to Daqian, so no matter which faction they are, they can't do anything to them.

But the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has many talented generals, and Daqian really cannot do without them to guard the border.

Originally, as long as Zhang Hexuan was found guilty, the marriage would be useless and the Zhang family would not be able to escape.

The Zhang Mansion collapsed, and the Xie Mansion is not far behind...

However, Your Majesty has the prince's shortcomings.

The prince's people are not clean!

The Queen Mother and her group had no choice but to give up.

Originally, they had considered giving the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo to the prince, but the Duke of Zhenguo stated that his daughter would never be a concubine.

And you also ask the other party not to take concubines, how is that possible?

The Crown Prince can't divorce the Crown Princess who already has two children, as well as all the concubines and royal concubines in the mansion, right?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Hexuan got a bargain.

The Queen Mother immediately took prudent measures to protect herself.

The matter was settled.

The Crown Prince and Prince Qi were playing a game of chess, and originally intended to strangle the Zhang family, but in the end both of them suffered losses.

Let a group of outsiders make a fortune.
