Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

The situation in the court changed and everyone was terrified.

Many people understood that His Majesty wanted to promote the Changning Marquisate and suppress the external relatives from becoming more powerful.

As for Prince Ning's affairs, many people still don't know about it.

However, some top dignitaries already knew about it. Especially after learning that Prince Ning was finally captured by Marquis Changning and Jinlinwei, they were both envious and wary of Marquis Changning Zhou Ze.

Marquis Changning handed Xiao Cui over, and the Jinlin Guards were now divided into two groups.

One part was to wipe out the remaining forces of Prince Ning, and the other part was to track down the "poison".

After the court session, Emperor Kangping left Changning Marquis Zhou Ze alone and went to the Tianlao under the jurisdiction of the Jinlinwei Yamen.

Prince Ning was sitting in the cell with disheveled hair at this time. After all, he was a royal noble, so the cell was quite clean.

"Seventh brother, I'll give you a chance." Emperor Kangping stood outside the cell and looked at Prince Ning who had a proud look on his face.

Prince Ning's eyes were sinister. "Give me a chance? Are you going to pen me up like a pig? If that's the case, I'd rather die."

Emperor Kangping's eyes were cold, "Want to die? Fine, I'll grant you your wish. Neither the wise king back then nor you now are my match."

“Hahaha!” Prince Ning laughed loudly, his face grim, and he looked at Emperor Kangping fiercely, “First there was the virtuous king, and now there is me. In the future there will be others who will rebel against you and your son, and you have no good solution anyway. Once I die, everything will be fine. You are suspicious all day long, and you will never have peace, and you will not die a good death!”

When Emperor Kangping heard this, his pupils shrank slightly and he felt extremely heartbroken.

He thought he had been kind enough to these princes and had been diligent in governing the country, but why did these princes rebel?

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze shouted, "Prince Ning, you have failed the emperor's grace and you still don't repent. You have a rebellious heart, but you don't have the talent to be ambitious. You don't believe in people's hearts. You use poison to control everyone, so do you think you have a sure win?"

"No, your plot was exposed, and no one fought for you. Don't you think it's pathetic? You are so mean and cruel, and you still want to be compared with the wise, brave, diligent and people-loving Majesty? Are you worthy?"

King Ning looked at Changning Hou Zhou Ze angrily and sneered, "Zhou Ze, just wait until your whole body becomes swollen and painful, and you will regret it."

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze raised his eyebrows, breaking down King Ning's psychological defenses. "Xiao Cui is your capable subordinate. Her sister participated in the preparation of the antidote, and we have obtained the antidote. Those shameful minions of yours have been slaughtered."

"No..." King Ning spat out a mouthful of blood before he could finish his words, "Zhou Ze, you will die a horrible death!"

Marquis Changning said coldly: "I, Zhou Ze, am loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and I care about the common people. In the meantime, I and my colleagues are united as one. It is not my turn to die a miserable death! You should keep this kind of treatment for yourself."

Prince Ning spat out blood again, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from anger.

Emperor Kangping was originally affected by Prince Ning's words and was in a bad mood.

At this time, hearing Changning Hou Zhou Ze's words of condemnation against King Ning, his mood turned from cold to warm.

After coming out of the prison, Emperor Kangping looked up at the sky, stroked his beard, and asked quietly: "Yunzhi, do you know why these princes want to rebel?"

Under his rule, although people could not be said to have enough food and clothing, they could be considered stable.

Except for this time when Li Guojiu failed to provide disaster relief, he handled other situations well.

Emperor Kangping was puzzled!

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, some vassal kings are insatiable and greedy. They always think that they are all from the same royal family and can compete for that position. Don't they know that the throne can only be occupied by those who are not virtuous and capable?"

"Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne, you have worked hard to govern the country. The people live and work in peace and contentment, the four barbarians are subservient, and all nations come to pay tribute. Your Majesty's achievements are obvious to all."

Emperor Kangping's confused eyes suddenly became clear, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling up, "How can I be as good as you say? You just see that I'm in a bad mood and you're trying to cheer me up!"

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze quickly said: "I dare not, this is all from my feelings."

Emperor Kangping chuckled and said as he walked: "Next, I will trouble Yunzhi to deal with Nanyue, even if it means using force."

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze shook his head and chuckled, "War costs money and kills people. War is the last resort. As the saying goes, the best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy. Let me have secret talks with several small countries around Nanyue first. If there is no effect, I can resort to force."

Emperor Kangping was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.

He thought back to when he was young, Zhou Ze, a scholar, was traveling in the northwest with his friends and was robbed by a small country.

After Zhou Ze, Marquis of Changning, sneaked out, he did not run back to the border of Kangguo for help. Instead, he used his eloquence to borrow troops from three countries surrounding this small country, destroyed that small country, and saved his friend.

When he came back, he brought back the head of the king of that small country, as well as two hundred carts of jewels, gold and other valuables.

It was also from that time that Emperor Kangping saw Zhou Ze's ability to form alliances and make coalitions.

Over the years, dozens of neighboring foreign countries, any of which had grown large, had been eager to take action against Kangguo.

Changning Hou Zhou Ze began to take action. He was always able to unite the surrounding small countries at the lowest cost to deal with the bigger countries and obtain the most favorable results for Kangguo.

This is the minister left to him by the late emperor. The late emperor told him that Zhou Yun's literary skills could stabilize the country and his military skills could pacify the country.

Because the old marquis had a very high reputation in the army, he let his only son study literature and gradually handed over the military power to him.

Emperor Taizu was mindful that the old marquis was not greedy for merit, so he specially bestowed him with a gold medal for "loyalty and bravery".

It seems that the late emperor was right and left him a good minister.

Emperor Kangping thought of his only son, the Crown Prince, and also of Zhou Jin who was working diligently in the Agriculture Department.

Perhaps Zhou Jin could become the assistant minister he left for the prince.

Emperor Kangping smiled and said, "Very good!"

After sending Emperor Kangping to the palace gate, it was getting dark, so Marquis Changning returned home.

As soon as he returned home, Marquis Changning received a secret report that the person who ordered the imperial guards to besiege and search the Marquis Changning's mansion last night was Uncle Li.

Zhao Xiang and Pang Ming are just Li Guojiu's minions.

Marquis Changning's eyes were slightly cold and the corners of his mouth were upturned.

Your Majesty has begun to suppress Uncle Li, so he will not be polite!

Marquis Changning went to pay his respects to the old lady and met his first wife, Song.

"You are tired too. Go back and rest early. Don't worry about me." The old lady waved her hand and looked at her awkward son and daughter-in-law. She felt a headache. Out of sight, out of mind.

"Yes, mother." Song and Marquis Changning came out of Songhe Garden one after another.

Back in the main courtyard, Marquis Changning took a bath and changed his clothes.

When Song came in, she saw Marquis Changning sitting on the bed, looking tired and dozing off from time to time.

She wanted to drive him away, but thinking that Marquis Changning had worked the hardest during this period, Song couldn't say anything cruel.

Song gently took the book from Marquis Changning and placed it on the table, "My Lord, go inside and take a nap."

Just like that, the two of them half-pushed and half-agreed and lay back on the same bed.

Song closed her eyes and did not see the upturned corners of Marquis Changning's mouth after he succeeded.

When it comes to your wife, using force alone won’t work!

Only by showing weakness can you make your wife soften her heart and feel sorry for you!

Someday, he must teach his son more and tell him not to stiffen his neck and compete with his wife all the time.

What is there to argue about between a husband and a wife?

If you can't win, you lose face.

Even though I won the fight, there is no substance behind it.

Anyway, at home what the wives say is right, but outside, isn’t it the men who have the final say?
