Chapter 468

Before Zhu Cihong's buttocks were hot in Duanben Palace, Liu Hongjian was summoned by Empress Zhou again.

As for why he was summoned, Liu Hongjian murmured at first.

His wedding with that girl Kunxing?

Uncle Chongzhen cared more about this matter than anyone else. If Liu Hongjian hadn't pushed the wedding date to midsummer next year, Chongzhen would have planned to accept him as son-in-law immediately.

Only Liu Hongjian felt that it was still necessary to cultivate and cultivate feelings, so what's the rush?No matter what, we have to wait for this girl to grow up to be 16 years old, right?
As the lord of the harem, Empress Zhou shouldn't be too likely to interfere with the major events he and Chongzhen are going to do next, so the purpose of this summoning is obvious.

Who else could there be except Zhu Cijiong who lived in prison in Jinyiwei Prison?
Empress Zhou could disregard how Chongzhen dealt with the courtiers, or how Chongzhen and him tossed about nobles, but she would not let Zhu Cijiong be killed by Chongzhen.

After all, to Queen Zhou, Zhu Cijiong was not only King Ding, but also her son.

Having figured it out, Liu Hongjian no longer hesitated, and followed the maid into the Kunning Palace.

Empress Zhou had been waiting for a long time in the main hall. As soon as Liu Hongjian came in to salute, Empress Zhou waved her hand to show her body away from the ceremony. After seeing the seat, Liu Hongjian said nothing.

Even if he knew what the beautiful future mother-in-law in front of him wanted to do, he didn't intend to say it first.

The king's case can be big or small. After all, Zhu Cijiong is only 14 years old. If it is older, it is treason, and if it is younger, it is nonsense.

But only those who are successful are qualified to say these words. If Zhu Cijiong really succeeds in his position, things will not be so simple.

Maybe Zhu Cijiong would not kill his own brother for the sake of fame, at most he would be locked up and die for the rest of his life.

But it doesn't seem likely to let him go.

Let's take a look at the people who support Zhu Cijiong first. The censor of the Inspectorate, the six divisions, the chief assistant of the cabinet and a few ministers are in the lead.

Who do these keyboard warriors hate the most?Chongzhen?No no no?They just didn't like each other, after all, Chongzhen, who used to complain a lot before, was furious.

Wasn't he the one who stepped on the keyboard man's face and rubbed it against the ground?If this guy is in the top position, he, Liu Hongjian, will be the first keyboard warriors want to kill!
According to Liu Hongjian's thinking, he didn't have time to take care of that shadowy kid, he was already 14 years old, he should be responsible for what he did, don't talk about protecting F, so he won't get used to it.

But the situation is stronger than others, and the future mother-in-law is not easy to pass. If she asks, can I still refuse?
After Liu Hongjian saluted, he sat on the stool, quietly waiting for Queen Zhou's instructions.

It's not that he is arrogant, but that people are going to kill you, and you still take the initiative to intercede. Those who know it call it kind-hearted, but those who don't know think he is easy to bully.

"Liu Qing's family helped me drive out the Tartars and recover the rivers and mountains. This Palace has never had a chance to express my gratitude. This is why I summoned you here today." Empress Zhou waved her hand, and then several maids came in holding various gift boxes.

"Eating the king's salary, sharing the worries for the king, this is the duty of the minister, the queen empress loves it." Liu Hongjian stood up and saluted.

"Liu Qing's family, don't be humble, I know what you have done." Empress Zhou was also speechless for a while by Liu Hongjian's words.

She didn't know the situation of the courtier in front of her, but she was too embarrassed to speak out, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.

"Now that you and Kun Xing have fixed the date of marriage, we will really become a family after a while." Queen Zhou said again, but she still didn't speak.

"Empress, you are here to secure His Royal Highness!" Seeing a mother doing this for her child, Liu Hongjian finally couldn't bear it.

Alas, who made him soft-hearted!

"Hey, Liu Qing's family, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, I knew this matter was embarrassing for you, but... Cijiong..." Empress Zhou sighed.

"I heard that a few years ago, in order to reduce the expenses in the palace, the empress subsidized the emperor's fight against the establishment of slaves, and even sewed female reds to subsidize the country by herself. Your deeds make me very admired.

As for His Royal Highness Prince Ding's matter, I will go to the emperor to intercede tomorrow. I can't say what the result will be, but I will try my best. "It doesn't need to be so troublesome to talk about it, Liu Hongjian has always been holding back and retreating.

"Then I have thanked Liu Qing's family on behalf of Cijiong. I have nothing else to ask but Cijiong to live a peaceful life." Empress Zhou's eyes were filled with tears. This is how she was born in the royal family. But he can't even protect his own children.

Conspiracy is a serious crime, and usurping the throne is an even worse crime. Chongzhen must have been really angry this time, otherwise it would be impossible not to listen to Queen Zhou's words.

Looking at it like this, I guess the two of them are already having an awkward fight, alas, it's true, they're both old couples, what's the big deal?

Seeing Liu Hongjian's response to this matter, Empress Zhou felt at ease, after all, she understood the status of the young man in front of Chongzhen.

It's not easy for anyone to say this, and it may even be counterproductive. Only the young courtier in front of him may be able to persuade him.

On the other hand, for Chongzhen's arbitrariness in arguing that Kunxing should be betrothed to Liu Hongjian, Queen Zhou actually recognized in her heart that this is a responsible and capable young man.

The only thing that made Empress Zhou feel uncomfortable was that the Anguo County King already had two marriages, and Kun Xing married in the past. How does this count?
But the wedding date of the two is still one year younger, and Queen Zhou is not in a hurry.

When he came out of the palace, he saw that it was dusk, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he thought that the banquet had been set up at home, waiting for him to go back.

But Liu Hongjian didn't go back directly, but went to the ordnance store first, and invited Song Yingxing's family to the Duke's mansion.

For more than half a year, the success of the Xishan Workshop was due to Uncle Song's painstaking efforts, and the victory of the Northern Expedition also had a lot of credit to Uncle Song.

And in the future, he will still need the help of others, so that he can paddle freely.

Liu Hongjian took out a stack of banknotes from the ring and stuffed them into Song Yingxing's hand.

"My lord, why is this?" Song Yingxing was obsessed with studying all kinds of utensils all day long, and had already lost interest in things outside of the body such as money.

After all, Xishan Workshop was in charge of food and housing, and as the second-tier head of the Ordnance Institute, his salary was not low, and he was in charge of a huge amount of funds for the entire Xishan Workshop.

If he wanted to, he wouldn't be short of money at all.

"Whether you need it or not is one thing, and whether you should give it is another. Song Laomo wants to refuse, and these are not only for you, but also for the craftsmen in our workshop!"

They have worked hard for half a year, so it can be regarded as a half-year reward, and the money is not much, a total of 10 taels.

Except for the 1 taels of Song Yingxing's family, the remaining 9 taels were distributed to the managers of the workshops and the craftsmen who made contributions to the workshops.

Song Yingxing learned that the money was for the craftsmen, so he accepted it with peace of mind.

Alas, Liu Hongjian sighed, he really doesn't have much money at the moment.

Fighting thieves, eliminating profiteers, and exterminating slaves have been tossing for more than a year, and they have been fighting outside, where there is no time for scientific research.

Fortunately, I finally persuaded Chongzhen not to be the chief assistant of the cabinet.
Jiannu has been destroyed, and Fan Paopao from Sichuan is said to be beaten by Qin Liangyu to the point of being overwhelmed. It seems that there will be no wars in the near future.

Well, it's time to think about your own financial plans!
