I want to be a good minister

Chapter 453 The King's Temporary Concealment

"Gu Lao, why is this so?" Zong Li's voice came from the cold Weizhong Hall.

On the side is a silent lonely old man, why is this so, no one would have expected such a situation.

After waiting for more than ten years, all hope was that Her Royal Highness would wake up, but no one would have thought that Her Royal Highness's waking up would be the beginning of a brand new trouble.

The lonely old man immediately denied his idea.

What trouble, at least Her Majesty the Holy Maiden has sat up alive, can eat and talk, and has been constantly testing and thinking for the past few days.

"Your Majesty, how is His Highness doing today?" The lonely old man asked instead of answering.

"I had a bowl of sago porridge for breakfast, and some green vegetables for lunch, which seemed to be very suitable for the fresh fruits that Nanyu paid tribute to." Zong Li said, his gaze became more tender.

It seems that he still attaches great importance to his own attire. He also looked at three of the several sets of clothes he sent, and chose a satin suit with a white brocade base. He also added a gold hairpin inlaid with jade to his hair accessory.

"Then what does Your Majesty think of His Highness's recovery speed compared to ordinary comatose people?" The lonely old man asked again.

Zong Li was stunned. In this regard, they have done too many experiments and researches. They have encountered cases where they have been in a coma for several years. Even if they wake up, it will take half a year or even longer to recover.

"You mean, Your Highness can recover to this state in just a few days, which is far more than ordinary people? Lonely old man, you should know what I mean just now." So what is different from ordinary people, the most important thing for His Highness is to be with you. The ability that comes from birth, this ability, can reach the energy that can only be accumulated in hundreds of years or even longer in a few years, this ability can predict the future, see through life and death, and guide the direction of the next saint.

However, His Highness who woke up now has nothing, just like an ordinary person.

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks, maybe the coma has been too long, and it may be revealed slowly. This is not the most urgent thing now. After all, His Highness has woken up. The energy that comes is Her Majesty the Holy Maiden, and there are not a few kings who are foolish, tyrant, and do not think about their careers in this country.

The most urgent thing now is what to do next. Your Majesty must be mentally prepared. If His Highness has always been like this, then what should you do? Of course, this old servant believes in your Majesty's ability. Now, this big thorn has been very stable, since it is so, it seems that it is not a big problem whether Her Majesty the Holy Maiden can recover her powerful ability—”

Zong Li turned his head and looked at the lonely old man respectfully standing beside him. If you talk about the lonely old man, this person who was left behind by the former queen can be said to be a pillar on Zong Li's road of controlling Dajing's entire government for so many years. One of the keys to being able to seize power so successfully and quickly.

"The lonely old man means that the news of Her Royal Highness is still blocked from the outside world, as usual?" Zong Li suddenly realized, yes, he has been doing things for more than ten years, so why would he care about one more day or one day less? Besides, now The situation is much better than when he was in a coma, no, anyway, his notoriety of dominating the government is no longer a day or two.

"Thank you Gu Lao for your advice. Now that I know it, the civil strife in Houzhao country can be stopped for a while." Zong Li said with a relaxed expression. All of this is a dead end he made for himself, nothing more than mediocrity.

"The civil strife in the Houzhao country has stopped by itself—" Zong Li hadn't finished speaking before another voice rang out, followed by a figure in a red robe who walked in sluggishly, seeing the tea on the table, poured it himself After drinking a glass, he sat on a stool beside him, and waved away the maid who was about to step forward.

Zong Li has long been familiar with Zong Chi's actions. He has always had his eyes high above the top, and he doesn't take anyone seriously. There are only a few detours in his mind. If he hadn't been imprisoned in Weizhong Palace, he would have died a few times already. Back and forth.

"What news did Commander Zong hear?" The lonely old man was taken aback, a little surprised that Zong Chi came back, thinking about it, Zong Chi was only interested in the affairs of Weizhong Palace, and he was forced to go to Houzhao Kingdom.

"Guess what is the name of the mountain where the flood occurred in the Houzhao country? Oh——by the way, Mount Yu, guess what you found after this mountain was washed away by the flood?" Zong Chi raised his eyebrows, staring Her eyes are like water, compared with Zong Li's clear and moony, non-human fireworks, she is a bit more coquettish, especially the unrestrained and imageless sitting appearance, which is a style of its own.

Zong Li didn't speak, knowing that Zong Chi in front of him was not someone who could hide his thoughts, and not asking would make the other party more anxious.

The lonely old man bowed his head. Their goal was to win over the Houzhao country, and now it has basically been completed. Stopping the civil strife is also to preserve the strength of the Houzhao country for emergencies. As for why the civil strife was stopped, he is really not interested in knowing.

"Aren't you curious? Lonely old man, I've stayed in Houzhao country for a few years, and I never knew that there might suddenly be a pie in the sky in Houzhao country. You say this- —”

"But the Houzhao Kingdom has formed an alliance with the Guhun Kingdom?" The lonely old man really didn't want to speak, but because of the identity of the other party, he could only speak.

"Alliance?" Zong Chi sneered, "The Houzhao Kingdom has completely offended this stupid young man from the Guhun Kingdom."

"Okay, okay, I'm here to tell you this news, I'm not going to be a secret—" Zong Chi waved his hand, too lazy to compete with these two.

"A heavy iron mine was washed out of that mountain by the flood. According to the news I got, that iron mine is the largest heavy iron mine discovered so far. Do you think it's a pie falling from the sky.

I didn't care about the civil strife before, and even the rumors that the boy who committed suicide was a nobleman of Houzhao country rose again, not to mention, if it wasn't for that boy, he really wouldn't have discovered the iron mine. "

Zong Chi shook his head, playing tricks on people, that kid died a step too early, and he didn't wait until this day.

"How much iron ore do you have now?" Zong Li finally spoke. This was indeed beyond his surprise. As for the dead man, he has no regrets. If he can't get the remaining two jade pendants, His Highness will not will wake up.

"One-third, and the remaining two-thirds are in the hands of the Houzhao State Teacher." Zong Chi turned the jade cup in his hand and looked in Zongli's direction. For the past two days, this kid has guarded against them like a thief. His Highness did not allow them to see him face to face.

Not to see him?He doesn't even bother to see it. If Her Royal Highness really wakes up and recovers her abilities, can you Zongli hide it?It's not too late for him to work hard at that time.

Zongli nodded. Iron mines meant a great increase in military strength for the whole Dajing. As long as Houzhao country has such iron mines, it is afraid that there will be no worries in the next ten or even decades.

"Your Majesty, Commander Zong, God helped me." The lonely old man showed joy. Commander Zong owns one-third of it, and Houzhao Kingdom must donate the second floor according to the usual practice. Then they are equivalent to controlling nearly half of the iron mines. .

Moreover, Houzhao Kingdom is bound to repay the kindness of the emperor, which is a good time.

"Why did the Guhun Kingdom have feuds with the Houzhao Kingdom?" Zong Li said suddenly, looking at Zong Chi, Guhun Kingdom, it seemed that he had heard about it, and the Guhun Kingdom also had a grudge with the Beichang Kingdom, and the grievances were quite deep.

Moreover, both of these things happened after the death of the mysterious woman.
