The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

The next day, Zhao Yao followed Liang Run to the Wangjiang River Teahouse.

Wangjiangnan Teahouse is one of the famous teahouses in the capital city. Because of its elegant and elegant decoration, it is deeply loved by scholars and dignitaries in the capital city.

Liang Run and Zhao Yao deliberately came to Wangjiangnan Teahouse a moment earlier.They chose a window seat on the second floor.

Zhao Yao sat behind Liang Run, and they were separated by a screen so that Wang Siqi would not notice Zhao Yao when he came.

Tong Xi sat across from Zhao Yao, serving Zhao Yao for tea and snacks.

After a while, Wang Siqi came up with a servant.

Liang Runfa hurriedly got up and said hello: "Young Master Wang."

Wang Siqi also hurried forward and greeted Liang Run: "Boss Liang."

He hurriedly apologized to Liang Run: "Boss Liang, sorry for keeping you waiting."

Liang Run was surprised to see Wang Siqi's polite attitude today. You must know that Wang Siqi's attitude was very aggressive when we met last time.

What's the matter today, you're so polite?

Is it to be polite before soldiers?

Liang Run did not let down his vigilance because Wang Siqi's attitude became polite.He secretly became alert in his heart.

"No, I just arrived too. Besides, it's not yet the time we agreed on. You don't need to mind, Mr. Wang." Liang Run said, reaching out to Wang Siqi for a "please" gesture, "Mr. Wang, please sit down."

Wang Siqi also made a "please" gesture to Liang Run: "Boss Liang, please sit down too."

After the two sat down, Wang Siqi called the waiter and ordered the best tea from Jiangnan Teahouse.

Liang Run was not in a hurry to talk about the business cooperation, he was waiting for Wang Siqi to speak.

He originally thought that Wang Siqi would be very anxious. After all, Wang Siqi's attitude towards him before was impatient. Unexpectedly, after sitting down, Wang Siqi was not in a hurry to talk about cooperation, but started chatting with him.

Liang Run didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Siqi's gourd, so he chatted with him.

The two were like friends, first they chatted about what happened in the capital in the past few days.During this period of time, the most talked-about event in the capital was the congratulations of foreign envoys.

Wang Siqi heard some interesting things about foreign envoys from somewhere, which made Liang Run laugh non-stop.

After talking about the foreign envoys, Wang Siqi chatted with Liang Run about the Western Regions.

After hearing this, Liang Run said in his heart: Here we come!
Sitting behind the screen behind Liang Run, Zhao Yao unconsciously pricked up his ears to listen to Wang Siqi's next words.

Wang Siqi asked Liang Run about the Western Regions.Liang Run briefly talked to him.

After hearing about the events in the Western Regions, Wang Siqi praised Liang Run for his foresight.When people from Wusun first came to Dazhou, Liang Run was one step ahead of the others, doing business with people from Wusun.

Liang Run did not relax his vigilance towards Wang Siqi because of Wang Siqi's praise, on the contrary, he became more and more vigilant in his heart.He thought to himself that Wang Siqi would definitely talk to him about cooperation in business next, but Wang Siqi still didn't mention a word and started chatting with him about business in Yangzhou.

Seeing that Wang Siqi hadn't mentioned the cooperation business for a long time, Zhao Yao thought to himself that this person really can hold his breath.Based on this alone, this Wang Siqi still has some merits.However, if Wang Siqi had no redeeming qualities at all, mynah wouldn't like him either.

Seeing Wang Siqi talking about Yangzhou business with him, Liang Run could only chat with him.

He is not in a hurry or willing to cooperate with the business.He wanted to see how long Wang Siqi could bear to mention this matter.

After a while, Zhao Yao finished his snacks and tea, but Wang Siqi and Liang Run hadn't finished chatting yet.It's been almost an hour, and Wang Siqi is still chatting with Liang Run about the affairs of Yangzhou.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with this man?" Tong Xi became impatient.

Zhao Yao frowned slightly and said, "Wait a little longer."

Liang Run also felt strange seeing that Wang Siqi never mentioned the matter of cooperation.Since Wang Siqi didn't mention it for a long time, then he continued to pretend that he didn't know anything.

After a while, Wang Siqi finally mentioned cooperation.He first apologized to Liang Run, and then said that he had other things to do, and he couldn't take time off to do business with Liang Run.

After Liang Run heard this, he couldn't help but froze.

Wang Siqi apologized to Liang Run repeatedly, and immediately said that if he had the opportunity to do business together again in the future.Before leaving, he specially gave Liang Run a brocade box as an apology.

Naturally, Liang Run couldn't accept it, but Wang Siqi insisted on giving it to him.

Wang Siqi said that he still had things to do, so he took his leave first and left.Before leaving, he also said that he would have a chance to eat and drink together in the future.

Liang Run politely sent Wang Siqi downstairs and watched him get into the carriage and leave.

After the carriage carrying Wang Siqi left for a while, Liang Run returned to the second floor.

Tong Xi had already stood up and gave up his seat to Liang Run.

"Yaoyao, what's the matter with this Wang Siqi, why doesn't he force me to cooperate all of a sudden?"

"It's very simple, Myna won't let him force you to cooperate." Zhao Yao raised the corners of his mouth, with a bright smile on his face, "It seems that my younger brother is still very important to Myna."

"The eighth prince?" Liang Run exclaimed, "The eighth prince knows that Wang Siqi forced me to cooperate in business?"

"You should know, otherwise Wang Siqi wouldn't change his mind suddenly." Zhao Yao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.To be honest, he was really afraid that the starling would not stop Wang Siqi from forcing the second uncle to cooperate in business.If the starling doesn't stop it, it means that in the starling's heart, his younger brother is not important, which means that in the starling's heart, there is only great cause and no family affection.Such a starling will be very scary, and he will not dare to get close to the starling in the future.

Fortunately, the starling did not disappoint him.There is still affection in mynah's heart, and such a mynah is his good mynah.

"No, Wang Siqi just sent a letter last night saying that he hoped that I could meet him today, and he also hoped that I could give him the answer he wanted." Liang Run said doubtfully, "It only took one night. Why did Wang Siqi suddenly change his mind?"

"He should have reported the matter to Myna last night, and Myna objected to him forcing you to cooperate in business." Zhao Yao guessed, "He should have not told Myna in advance about forcing you to cooperate in business."

Liang Run nodded suddenly, "So that's the case."

"Looking at how polite he was to your second uncle just now, he must have been severely reprimanded by myna after he reported the matter to myna last night." Zhao Yao said with a smile on his face, "Myna is still my good myna."

Liang Run also smiled: "Yes, the Eighth Prince is still your good starling." To be honest, he was relieved.Like Yaoyao, he was really afraid that the Eighth Prince would not stop Wang Siqi.The eighth prince is resourceful, has great means, and his scheming is unfathomable. He is really afraid that they will become enemies with the eighth prince.

Zhao Yao said happily: "It's really great not to be an enemy of myna." To be honest, he really didn't want to be an enemy of myna, let alone be unfamiliar with myna.

Although everyone in the palace doesn't like starlings, in his heart, starlings are the best elder brothers.He really didn't want to fight with mynah brothers.

The starling is not completely cold and heartless in his heart, there is still affection deep in his heart.

"Yeah, it's really great not to be an enemy of the Eighth Prince." Liang Run thought of Wang Siqi specially giving him an apology gift before he left. He hurriedly took it out of his arms, opened it and saw that it was a pair gold cake.He looked surprised and said, "This is too expensive."

Zhao Yao picked up a piece of gold cake and weighed it, and found it was a bit heavy.

"It's really a big deal."

"This Wang Siqi is so generous." Liang Run said in astonishment, "One shot is two gold cakes."

Zhao Yao said with a deep expression: "It's not that he's generous, but that he's afraid of starlings."

"Yaoyao, what kind of person is the eighth prince?" Liang Run had never met the eighth prince, and was very curious about the eighth prince. "Although Wang Siqi is a bastard, he is the bastard of a century-old family. Most people want to subdue him. Easy. Besides, he is several years older than the Eighth Prince, and he is so afraid of the Eighth Prince, what kind of ability does the Eighth Prince have to make him so afraid of submitting?"

"Second Uncle, I told you before that mynah is very smart and very resourceful." Zhao Yao said, "I don't know how much mynah has done in these years."

"The Eighth Prince is really unfathomable."

"Second Uncle, you don't need to ask more about myna." Zhao Yaoyu warned, "The matter between myna and Wang Siqi is not something we should worry about."

Liang Run nodded lightly and said, "You're right."

"Second Uncle, Wang Siqi will not force you to cooperate in business, but will also help you secretly." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Second Uncle, you can rest assured."

"What, Wang Siqi will help me, how is that possible?" Liang Run said with an expression of disbelief.

"Based on what I know about starlings, starlings will definitely ask Wang Siqi to help you secretly."

"If that's the case, then the Eighth Prince is really kind to you."

"Mynah has always been very kind to me. He and fourth brother are my best brothers." From this point of view, in the future, fourth brother will lose to mynah. It is possible to spare the fourth brother's life.

Tong Xi, who was standing by the side, interjected, "Your Highness is also very kind to His Highness Eighth, and Your Majesty is also very kind to His Highness Eighth." His Highness the Eighth Prince is too ungrateful.

"For myna, my mother and I are his relatives in this world." Zhao Yao said, "Of course, we also regard myna as relatives."

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Liang Run was stunned, and immediately asked: "Yaoyao, are you going to help the Eighth Prince fight for that seat?" For the Eighth Prince.

"No, I won't help Mynah." Zhao Yao said seriously, "Mynah won't let me help him either. Neither he nor Fourth Brother should let me get involved in the fight."

Liang Run felt relieved when he heard this.

"That's good."

"I won't get involved in the affairs of the fourth brother and the eighth brother." Both the fourth brother and the eighth brother are his good brothers, and it's not good for him to help anyone, so it's better not to help any of them.

"You are right not to participate, otherwise it would be too dangerous." Liang Run said, and then handed the brocade box in his hand to Zhao Yao, "Yao Yao, take these two gold cakes back."

"Second Uncle, keep it." Zhao Yao pushed the brocade box back, "It's not very good for me to keep it."

Liang Run understood Zhao Yao's scruples: "Okay, then I'll keep it." After finishing speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and asked quickly, "Yao Yao, these two gold cakes are too expensive, should I send something back to Wang Siqi?" ?”

"He said this is an apology, so you can accept it with peace of mind, and there is no need to return the gift." Zhao Yao flicked the teacup with his fingers, and there was a ding sound, and the teacup made a crisp sound, "Second uncle, although the starling ordered Wang Siqi to help you secretly You, but you had better not have any contact with him."

"I know." Liang Run thought that Wang Siqi would force him to cooperate in the business, and whether other aristocratic families would have the same idea as Wang Siqi. "Yaoyao, if the Xun family or the Yuan family also come to me for business cooperation in the future, what should I do?"

"Second uncle, the Xun family and the Yuan family don't like your business." Zhao Yao comforted Liang Run and said, "Wang Siqi wants to swallow your business, not the Wang family's business. Although these aristocratic families They are usually greedy, but they are also very arrogant and disdain to swallow up your business. With their means, they will directly take away your business."

"Ah, what should I do?" If the Wang family really robbed him of his business, he would have no power to fight back.

"Second uncle, don't worry, they won't steal your business." Zhao Yao comforted Liang Run, "Now the Liang family is an imperial merchant. Even the Wang family and their aristocratic families dare not easily steal the Liang family's business."

It was only then that Liang Run remembered that their Liang family had become an imperial merchant, he raised his hand and patted his forehead: "I forgot about it."

"Second Uncle, since it's all right, I'll go find Second Uncle."

"Go."

Zhao Yao left the teahouse and went to find He Lianfang.

Seeing Zhao Yao, He Lianfang said, "This morning, the eldest prince of An Ran Kingdom asked to marry the noble daughter of Da Zhou."

When Zhao Yao, who was drinking tea, heard this, he was so surprised that he choked a mouthful of tea into his throat.

"Cough cough cough..."

He Lianfang raised her hand and gently patted Zhao Yao's back.

Zhao Yao coughed for a while and then stopped.He said with a look of surprise: "Second Uncle, did you just say that the eldest prince of An Ran Kingdom asked to marry the noble daughter of Da Zhou?"

"Yes."

"The eldest prince of Anran Kingdom is over 20 years old. It is impossible that he does not have a concubine. How can he ask to marry the noble daughter of the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Zhao Yao was startled. "Is he going to marry the noble daughter of the Great Zhou Dynasty as his concubine?"

"The concubine of the eldest prince of Anran State died of illness some time ago, and he has not yet married a second concubine."

"Then why didn't he mention marrying Da Zhou's noble daughter when he first came here?"

He Lianfang stared at Zhao Yao, and asked back, "What do you think?"

"The prince of An Ran didn't propose to marry the noble daughter of Da Zhou himself, but someone proposed to him."

"Who do you think it is?"

Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "Prince and Duke Zhen."

He Lianfang smiled and said, "That's right."

"My father agreed?"

"Your father didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either."

"Could it be that Duke Zhen wants to marry the daughter of the Xie family to the eldest prince of An Ran?"

Why did the eldest prince of An Ran propose to marry the noble daughter of Da Zhou as his concubine instead of the princess.The main reason is that the princesses of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all young, most of them are underage, and they cannot marry the eldest prince of Anran Kingdom at all.

The emperor had five daughters.The eldest princess has already grown up, and has already married and had children.The second princess has not yet reached the age of Ji, but she has given a marriage to Wu Chenghou's youngest son some time ago.The third princess, the fourth princess and the fifth princess are all too young to marry the eldest prince of Anran Kingdom as his concubine, so the eldest prince of Anran Kingdom can only marry the noble daughter of Da Zhou as his concubine.

"The government of Zhen Guo is married to the royal family of An Ran, what do you think it means?"

"It means that the Duke of Zhen's government can control the royal family of Anran." Zhao Yao sneered, "Grand of Zhen really has a good plan, but unfortunately, the father will not agree." The father will definitely not agree with Zhen Guo The government is married to the Anran royal family.

He Lianfang smiled meaningfully and said, "Not necessarily, your father may agree."

Zhao Yao said in amazement: "Is the father's brain broken?"

He Lianfang laughed and said: "Who said that only the eldest prince of Anran Kingdom can only marry one noble daughter of Dazhou, two are not enough?"

"Second uncle, do you mean that the father may let two noble daughters marry the eldest prince of Anran Kingdom?" Zhao Yao's mind turned very fast, and he immediately thought of it, "The noble daughters of the Zhenguo government and the Wang family?"

"It's possible." He Lianfang continued, "Perhaps the noble daughters of the Xun family and the Yuan family will be married to the second prince."

"In this way, wouldn't it be..." Zhao Yao's expression suddenly became very subtle, "With the temperament of father and prince, he can really do it."

At this time, in the imperial study room of Chengguang Hall, the emperor was discussing this matter with He Xiang and the others.

"There are quite a few princes who came to congratulate me this time. How about I be more generous and give them noble daughters to fulfill the wishes of these aristocratic families? What do you think?"

Grand Master Liu supported: "That's fine, there are quite a few women in these families."

He Xiang echoed: "If you want to give it, give it to the prostitute."

The emperor pointed at Taishi Liu and He Xiang, and said with a smirk: "Old Liu, Lao He, you have learned badly."

Master Liu said very frankly: "I learned from you."

He Xiang is more euphemistic: "The one who is close to vermilion is red, and the one who is close to ink is black."

The emperor stared at Taishi Liu and the others and said, "You are scolding me, don't think I can't hear you."

"Since it was proposed by Duke Zhen, Your Majesty, you will be the Duke of Zhen." Grand Master Liu said maliciously, "Duke Zhen's youngest daughter will be married this year, and she just happens to be married to the eldest prince of Anran. Successor princess."

He Xiang followed up and said: "If you marry the concubine of the Wang family to the prince of An Ran as the side concubine, I think the prince of An Ran will be very happy."

Sorry for the late update guys.

Emperor: Lao Liu, Lao He, you have learned badly.

He Xiang: The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

Taishi Liu: You teach well.

Emperor: You are scolding me, and I have evidence.
