Princess of the auxiliary country

"Where did the papermaking workshop come from?"

King Qi was stunned by his sudden question.

How could he not know where this papermaking workshop came from? Wasn't it Huo Junyao who did it?

This doesn't seem to have much to do with what they were talking about at this time, right?

Just when he was about to speak, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he remembered the rumors outside today.

According to Huo Junyao, it was the Zheng family that cut off her financial path first, and she had to find another way to make money, so she had the papermaking workshop.

Thinking of this, his eyes immediately widened and he hissed and gasped.

"It turns out that she actually hid such an exquisite arrangement."

With the experience he accumulated from following the intrigues of his brothers over the years, he has already understood some of Huo Junyao's plans.

This is to shift the target and make the Zheng family the target of public criticism, thereby reducing the impact of the papermaking workshop.

In short, it is to let the fat meat of the Zheng family out in the open to attract the firepower of the nobles.

After all, compared to the industry owned by the Zheng family, the gains from the paper business are very average.

The Zheng family was responsible for the incident, and other noble families would definitely seek an explanation from the Zheng family. If Duke Ji's government continued to attack, the situation of the Zheng family would be even more dangerous.

At that time, in order to protect themselves, the Zheng family will inevitably bleed a lot and satisfy other noble families, thus ensuring that the Zheng family will not completely decline.

The income from the things given out is definitely higher than the income from paper. As a result, other nobles have been supplemented and even made a small amount of money. Naturally, it will not have much impact.

Naturally, there is no need to continue to have bad relations with Huo Junyao. After all, what happened this time will be a deterrent to many people.

So the final result is that the Zheng family who provoked Huo Junyao will lose all their money, and her papermaking workshop will become the default existence of the major noble families, which not only suppresses the enemy, but also allows herself to snatch a part of the paper business without any impression. .

It can be said that I make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, he felt a little complicated for a while.

First of all, he was happy that such a character, the prince, his biggest opponent, could not grasp it, but instead pushed him to the opposite side.

Very good news for him.

At the same time, he was speechless and depressed. Originally, enemies of enemies could be friends, but because of something, he offended this originally powerful ally.

Seeing the constant changes in his expression, how could the gentleman opposite him fail to see what he was thinking.

"His Royal Highness, King Qi, there is no need to be like this. Although we have made a mistake this time, we have not reached a situation where we will never die. There is still a chance to make amends."

"Even if we say we can't be friends, we still can't be enemies. As long as we're not enemies, it's not a bad thing for us."

Hearing this, King Qi felt much more at ease and nodded, "Sir, you are right. After a while, I will prepare a generous gift and come to resolve the matter in person."

He finally understood that it was better not to provoke Huo Junyao. At the same time, he also understood that it would be impossible to make friends with her.

Such a smart and shrewd person can definitely understand some of the consequences of beingfriend him.

But as the gentleman in front of me said, if he doesn't make good friends and doesn't make bad friends, it's not a bad thing for him.

"So good."

"But His Highness's most pressing priority is still to target the Zheng family."

"According to my speculation, Duke Ji's Mansion will definitely continue to target the Zheng family, and may even bring trouble to the court."

"The Zheng family has done a lot of dirty things over the years."

King Qi nodded repeatedly, already understanding the benefits mentioned by his husband.

"I will immediately prepare some matters regarding the Zheng family. If Duke Ji is impeached tomorrow, I will step forward to add fuel to the fire and strive to seize some court resources from the Zheng family."       Those who have the same idea as him There were a lot of people. On this day, the study rooms of many mansions in the capital were still lit until late at night.

One family was an exception, and that was the Zheng family. At this time, the main courtyard they added was brightly lit.

After Zheng Wengong received treatment, his injuries were stabilized and he regained consciousness.

But at this time, he felt pain all over his body, and of course the most painful thing was his heart.

Thinking about him, a direct descendant of the Zheng family, everything has been smooth sailing since childhood. Even the current emperor would give him face. How had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Whenever he recalled being dragged like a dog to death today, dragging the entire capital to embarrassment, he wished he had not died like this.

To describe his current mood in one sentence, he was ashamed and angry, but he was also afraid of asking him to commit suicide.

So, it's hard to describe how complicated his mood was.

"Master, don't think too much. This time we admit defeat and leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood."

Looking at her husband who was not human in shape on the bed, Mrs. Zheng felt very distressed and comforted her.

"Well, madam, what you did today is very good."

The matter has come to this, so what if I am ashamed and angry? He himself didn't have the courage to commit suicide, so he had to borrow Poxia's donkey as a small comfort to his self-esteem.

"Is there any news from Yuan'er? What's the attitude of the other companies?"

Hearing his question, Mrs. Zheng's face suddenly turned ugly.

Some hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Mrs. Zheng thought about it for a while, and realized that she couldn't hide this matter, and she didn't dare to hide it. After all, it related to the entire Zheng family. If she didn't make it clear, she wouldn't be able to bear the burden if something happened in the end. .

At the same time, she is really not qualified to make any decision on this matter.

"Yuan'er went to find those houses according to your instructions, but all he got was the same sentence."

"What?"

Zheng Wengong asked with a frown.

"They all said that the Zheng family must give them a satisfactory explanation about Princess Zhaode's papermaking workshop."

Hearing this, Zheng Wengong on the bed was extremely shocked and angry. As soon as he moved, the injuries on his body were affected, causing him to gasp in pain.

"Explain, why did I become like this? They actually have the nerve to ask me what explanation the Zheng family wants? They are still shameless."

I think the reason why he went to see Princess Zhaode was because several people had negotiated and asked him to go over and discuss the matter.

Although some of his actions after going to the Hot Spring Villa were somewhat deviated from the Huairou plan discussed with them, at least it was because of the big guy that he suffered such hardship.

Even if those guys don't want to share the same hatred, they should come over to visit and comfort them, right?

I never thought that there was none, but that I still wanted him to give a satisfactory explanation?

How can a person be so shameless?

As he thought about it, his face turned red, but he didn't dare to move. After all, this thing was covered in wounds and it hurt to move.

"They, how dare they do this?"
