Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 493;
Not long after, King Jin came in from the outside.

He was wearing a black fox cloak, and some snowflakes fell on his shoulders.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao frowned slightly, stood up and said, "It's snowing outside again? You don't know how to wait for the snow to stop before coming back in this cold weather?"

While speaking, she reached out and patted the falling snow off Prince Jin's shoulders, and handed over the cloak to Qiu Yu beside her.

"I haven't seen you for so many days, and I heard that you went to the flower viewing party held by the queen today, so I wanted to come over and ask about the situation."

King Jin smiled, walked to the side and sat down.

"How is it? Today, the empress should choose a woman from the Han family, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao shook his head and said, "Yes and no."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Lu Yaoyao quickly told what she had seen and heard today, and also expressed her guess.

After hearing this, King Jin's expression turned serious.

"This is not a good sign."

"It seems that this should be what Duke Zhen meant."

If it's just the Han family, he still doesn't care about it. After all, the current Han family is already a grasshopper after autumn, and they have already gotten closer to Duke Zhen and King Ning.

He and Emperor Hongwen didn't care much about continuing to deepen the relationship, but now that Lu Yaoyao said that the queen actually intended to appoint Wu You of the Wu family as her concubine, then something was wrong.

Although the iron ore in the hands of the Wu family cannot be compared with the current imperial court, it is also very dangerous.

Especially in the current situation, Duke Zhen has the support of the Han family, so he is not too short of money.

If there is no shortage of iron, I am afraid that they will become very passive if they want to continue to target Zhen Guogong in the future.

If one fails, Duke Zhen will find an opportunity to counterattack frantically. Once that happens, the situation in Dongzhou will be very difficult.

"No, I have to hurry up and talk to the emperor about it."

As he said that, he stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Lu Yaoyao.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

"Even if we talk about it now, so what?"

Hearing this, the King of Jin was taken aback, and said, "Of course it is to stop it, otherwise why should they be bound together?"

"Can you stop it? If you think about it carefully, since Lord Zhen is doing this, he knows that you will stop him, but if he still does it, doesn't he have a little backup?"

King Jin was silent.

Indeed, if Lord Zhen Guo could do this, there must be a problem.

"He has been silent since he came back last time, and his attitude has been shown. Now that King Ning is choosing a concubine, if you stop him, he will probably move."

"At that time, he only needs to operate a little bit, and you will be very passive. If he takes this opportunity to make trouble, can you bear it?"

"Now that his mind has been completely exposed, he must not be given a chance."

King Jin nodded again and again, of course he was very clear about this.

It's just that I didn't expect Zhen Guo Guild to do this at all.

"Is this the way to let him succeed?"

"So what if you succeed? I'm not in the right mood. The more he helps King Ning, the sharper his minions will be. What do you think of the Zhenguo Guild then?"

Reminded by her, King Jin's frown immediately relaxed a little, and now there is already some suspicion between King Ning and Duke Zhen.

Especially Queen Wang, who has a lot of dissatisfaction with Duke Zhen.

"Things are already like this, what we need to do now is if King Ning is pulled to your side, after all, the emperor is his father, understand?"

"That's the only way to go. I still have to go see the emperor."

This time, Lu Yaoyao didn't stop him again.

"Yaoyao's words are very reasonable. We have already been passive in this matter."

After hearing the news from King Jin, Emperor Hongwen showed no surprise on his face, which surprised King Jin a little.

"The emperor knew it a long time ago, and they would do this?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen glanced at King Jin and said with a smile, "That's right."

"In that case, why not stop it?"

"Why stop it?"

Emperor Hongwen asked back with a faint smile, and then revealed his plan.

"I see, but it would be very dangerous for you to do so."

"There are dangers, but if it succeeds, the rewards will not be small. Dongzhou is not the only one that is eyeing Duke Zhen alone."

There are many internal worries in Dongzhou, and the aristocratic family is the biggest problem among them.

The Dong family was very knowledgeable, and the Luo family followed suit. Emperor Hongwen was very satisfied with their reaction, but did not plan to target them too much.

Moreover, the main thing about the Dong family is that there are many scholars. Now that he has mastered papermaking and printing, the influence of the Dong family is not too much of a threat to him.

Even if they don't know what to do in the future, it's perfectly fine to get rid of them.

However, the Dong family should be very knowledgeable. In this way, the Dong family is likely to become the humerus of Dongzhou.

As for falling, it's just a grain merchant. Although the business is big, why can't it be raised to become Dongzhou's grain depot?

The situation of the Han family and the Wu family is different. One controls the salt industry and the other controls the iron industry, both of which should be strictly controlled by the state.

The Han family must be wiped out. Although the Wu family followed the Dong family and got a little more savvy, if it happened this time, they could not be more sober, and instead had delusions.

That can also be taken advantage of this opportunity to clean up together.

Lord Zhen Guo's plan is big, so why is Emperor Hongwen the same, wanting to wipe them all out?

It just depends on who succeeds in the end. The risk is high, but the reward is not small.

"What is the emperor's follow-up plan?"

"Don't worry, some things have to be taken slowly, it's not good to be too anxious, King Jin only needs to train those soldiers well, and I will notify you when needed."

Hearing this, King Jin pondered for a moment, nodded, and said nothing more.

"Since the emperor already has an idea, I won't ask any more questions."

Not long after, King Jin left the palace.

For the next few days, he didn't go to Chengyuan Villa. He sent a letter from the palace saying that a banquet was going to be held and Lu Yaoyao was invited to attend. Only then did King Jin appear.

"The envoy of Xirong is here."

"Well, I heard it before, do you know the purpose of coming?"

King Jin nodded and said with a smile; "It's still a marriage. The current situation in Xirong is not optimistic. If you want to win allies, Northern Chu and Southern Xinjiang have plundered them. Naturally, it is impossible to choose."

"Another marriage?"

Lu Yaoyao frowned, she was quite disgusted with marriage and so on.

Since ancient times, few married women have had a good ending.

It is better to say that they are seeking peace than sending those women to die.

"Yes, but this time is different from last time. This time there is a princess from Xirong, who is said to want to marry the princess."

"This attitude is completely different from last time."

Lu Yaoyao sneered, she looked down upon Xi Rong.
