The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 71 Why Convince 4
For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Zhou Siyang's mind, and he understood the posture of Prime Minister Gu. This was the Hongmen Banquet, and he would only be at the mercy of others.

Anger appeared on the young man's face.

No one likes to be threatened.

But under absolute pressure, compromise is the best option.

"If your Majesty has anything to say, I can convey it to you."

"When Prime Minister Gu comes to Hezhou, it is a blessing for the Zhou family to come to the Zhou family as a favor."

Zhe Sang felt a little sad in his heart. Even his countless calculations were not as useful as Gu Heng's light words.

However, Gu Heng's methods were too harsh, and Zhou Siyang was obviously reluctant.

There is a difference between being willing and unwilling, and small complaints can also harm big things.

"It would be great to be recommended by Vice General Zhou." Zhe Sang said with a smile, knowing that he was not happy, so he tried his best to resolve it.

She caught a glimpse of Gu Heng from the corner of her eye and said, "I heard that Vice General Zhou is obsessed with martial arts. Although Prime Minister Gu is a civil servant, he is very good at riding and shooting. You two can also communicate with each other."

"Don't dare to compare yourself to the Prime Minister." Zhou Siyang said stiffly, feeling aggrieved no matter how much he thought about being treated like this by Gu Heng.

Gu Heng thought to himself that the queen was really good at coaxing people. As soon as he helped her win over people, she was thinking of using herself to coax them again.

But he was not angry, this was her original appearance, cunning and intelligent.

He could sense that these things were slowly bringing her back to life.

For the first time, I felt that it was a good thing to be a bad guy in a boy's heart.

"You do have some talent, but you're not very good as a master." Gu Heng commented.

Zhou Siyang became even more unhappy and frowned, "My master is brave and good at fighting and has a great reputation. Prime Minister Gu can look down on me, but he can never question my master."

Gu Heng smiled and crossed his legs gracefully, "He's just a defeated general. Is he very powerful?"

Zhe Sang: As expected, he is a typical representative of those who prefer soft things over hard things.

Zhou Siyang endured it again and again: "There must be a limit to big words. Prime Minister Gu is good at riding and shooting, but in swordsmanship and fighting, we still don't know who will be defeated!"

Gu Heng said calmly, "What are you doing in such a hurry? Are you talking nonsense? Go ask your master if he doesn't know."

"Hu Wei is very good at fighting, but his disciples——"

Gu Heng said, slightly twitching the corners of his lips.

"Not very good."

Zhe Sang suddenly felt that Gu Cheng was very kind to him.

At this moment, a bird song came from the horizon, and the homing pigeon stopped at Gu Heng's hand.

Gu Heng took down the letter, slowly unfolded it, folded it and skimmed it off. There were not many words, but he couldn't read them clearly.

"I have to go back to my house if I have something to do. Your Majesty, please go back too."

Gu Heng stood up and turned to Sangdao.

Zhe Sang glanced at Zhou Siyang who was standing aside. It was inconvenient for her to go out and she wanted to resolve the matter at once.

Gu Heng didn't have time to tease the young man anymore, so he just said to him: "Go back and ask Hu Wei first if you want to come and kowtow to recognize your master and work together for the empress. Naturally, I won't treat you badly."

"However, the premise is to keep your mouth shut, and trouble will come from your mouth. You should know what to say and what not to say."

Zhou Siyang was frightened and angry after being threatened by him. His breath was stuck in his throat and he couldn't squeeze out a single word.

"Prime Minister Gu, please go and deal with important matters quickly. I and Vice General Zhou will leave after a few casual chats."

Although Gu Heng had almost captured Zhou Siyang, she hoped that this move could be a little more perfect.

Gu Heng knew that she had her own ideas, so he let her go.

Anyway, there were secret guards guarding her, so if nothing happened, he would go ahead and deal with his own affairs.There were only two people left in the pavilion, and Zhou Siyang felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhe Sang smiled warmly at him and said softly, "Prime Minister Gu is so arrogant, don't take what he said to heart."

"You are a smart man, and you must know why I want to see you and your mother."

Zhou Siyang had been threatened by Gu Heng before, so he softened his temper slightly in response to the queen's friendly attitude. "If there is anything you need help from the Zhou family, just tell me. If the Zhou family can do it, they will do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it even with a knife on your neck."

"Don't worry, this matter is just a trivial matter for the Zhou family. It will only do you good and no harm."

Zhou Siyang didn't say anything, he obviously didn't believe it.

Zhe Sang took out a brochure bag and handed it to him.

"Inside is the treasure of Dongnan Zhai and a letter. Please turn the corner and give it to Mrs. Zhou."

"Why did you give such a secret recipe to the Zhou family?" Zhou Siyang was already prepared for the Zhou family to bleed, but the reality didn't seem to be what he thought.

"I know that the main force of your business is practical things such as oil, grain and cloth, and the restaurant does not make pastries."

Zhou Siyang knew about this, as his mother had said in a letter that the Lin family was the only one and that the Zhou family would not be able to take a bite even if they broke their teeth.

"Next, you can try it. I will join hands with you to open a restaurant."

"I have checked. The prices of Lin's Restaurant are on the high side. The main customers are noble families. It would be difficult for people who are not rich and powerful to stay in a hotel and make top-notch restaurants. But this is also our opportunity."

"Enter through the opening of Benefit. With the support of me and the Prime Minister, no one dares to touch you."

Zhe Sang will put the plan on the tray.

The alienation and defensiveness on the young man's face was slowly replaced by meditation.

What the queen said is indeed a good thing for the Zhou family.

Sometimes, being too rich is not a good thing. The Zhou family just happened to start in the hands of his parents. Because it was so violent and eye-catching, the foundation was shallow at the same time.

This resulted in the Zhou family spending a large sum of money every year to worship the "protector god" in the imperial court.

When her mother agreed to go to the frontier to learn martial arts, she had such concerns. It would be better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. It would be the best thing if the Zhou family could lay some foundation in the court.

Now, according to the Queen's statement, Zhou Siyang was also a little moved.

However, he still has concerns.

"It's good to hear your Majesty say this, but how can you guarantee that those people will listen to your Majesty's words?"

He paused, as if thinking of better words.

"Speak up if you have any concerns. Avoidance will not solve the problem."

He was young and straight-tempered. Seeing that Zhe Sang was easy to talk to and had a great attitude, he unknowingly let down a lot of his guard.

"The Empress has no children, the Holy Emperor loves Concubine Shu very much, and Mrs. An is the only one who has a dragon heir even though she was a sinner in the previous dynasty."

"Looking at it this way, I'm afraid my mother's words won't work. The Zhou family is the hard work of my parents. Although my mother often scolds me for being out of touch, I also selfishly hope that the Zhou family will get better and better. But it is not a temporary success, but a long-term success. "

Doing business with the queen means waiting to be subordinated to the queen, and you will suffer both prosperity and loss. If she does not secure her position as queen, it will be a disaster for the Zhou family.

"You don't trust me." Zhe Sang said, still smiling and not angry.
