I want to be a good minister

Chapter 459 The Memorial of the Lord Houzhao Kingdom 2
Not answering?Cen Xi lowered her head, it seemed that she couldn't do it anymore, she had overestimated her status, and also, if Zong Li had no opinion at all, she wouldn't be able to sit where she is now.

Zong Li saw that the expression of the woman in front of him slowly began to lose, and this loss only flashed in the expression, and what changed was the still calm face.

Zong Li didn't know what Cen Xi thought in front of him at this moment, to convince himself to regain his composure so quickly, but he didn't want the other party to lose.

"As for the maid, how about asking Qu Mu to send her back now, and send a few more by the way, so that you can choose carefully?" Cen Xi, who was about to sit down obediently, was taken aback for a moment, as if surprised that the man suddenly change of mind in between.

Maybe, she was wrong at the beginning?
"You've just recovered a bit, so you shouldn't be tired. You can rest here for a while before leaving, okay?" Seeing this, Zong Li didn't pursue further. How did she know that the person was taken away by him? She should be the only one in the main hall. She can do whatever she wants.

"Thank you." Cen Xi said, already sitting on the wide chair beside the desk.

Cen Xi didn't take a closer look at Zongli's study room when he came here in a hurry before. The log-colored wide chair is shiny and moist due to the polishing of time, and the wood is delicate and crystal clear. This whole set of tables and chairs tends to be more natural. On the whole wooden table, there are fine carvings along the wooden lines, or pavilions in distant mountains, or nearby streams and rocks, which are a bit thicker and refined. charm.

Cen Xi naturally had some taste, and couldn't help but be attracted by this seemingly very simple table and chair.

Zong Li's eyes fell on the piles of papers on the desk.

This is not his most frequently used office space. There used to be many in the Ziwei Palace, but this time, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, and don't know what the final result will be, he sent her to the Ziwei Palace and moved her to his Star Palace, so , it was temporarily used as a place for him to review the notebooks.

Caiyu and Mingyu have already served tea, but in the past few days, they found that the master doesn't seem to like drinking tea, and he doesn't pay much attention to the variety and taste.

But Cen Xi does not refuse, he has never been very strict with life, and is willing to try new things, but compared to tea, Cen Xi prefers coffee and milk tea, so he will drink it, but he just doesn't feel it.

Moreover, Zong Li in front of him has already agreed to her request, so this face must be given.

"The Dongli Kingdom paid tribute to the technology of the sailing arm, and I rewarded the Dongli royal family for inheriting the glory of the royal family." Zong Li spoke slowly, picked up the top memorial, and spoke suddenly.

Cen Xi was taken aback, what's the point of telling her these things?But in the corner of my eye, I found a familiar memorial book, with gold bronzing blue silk and satin as the background, and only Houzhao Congress made this thing so fancy.

Cen Xi suddenly remembered that before she was drunk, no, before she fell into a coma, she seemed to have heard something, that delicate and flirtatious man was nervously announcing something.

Therefore, even if she has nothing to do with Cen Jing from Houzhao country or Cen Xi from Beichang country, no one can find any evidence of connection, but her memory will not change.

"Xishan Kingdom is close to Xishan. This is the 12th time to write a letter this year. Seeing that this Xihai land is merged into his Xishan Kingdom." Zong Li picked up another copy, as if chatting with Cen Xi in an ordinary way.

Cen Xi only listened, but did not dare to answer the words. These matters were related to the political affairs of the Dajing Kingdom. Even when she was the most favored minister under An Xiujun, she would not easily participate in the political affairs of the Houzhao Kingdom.

Zong Li looked at the blue satin booklet in front of him, is this one?
"Speaking of which, something happened in Houzhao country a few days ago." Zong Li said, and he didn't show much interest when he met Cen Xi in front of him again. Could it be that he guessed wrong.

The excuse of coming to his study because of a little maid was not convincing after all.

Even if he wanted to hear about the affairs of the Dajing Dynasty, even if she didn't come, he would slowly tell her in a few days.

The reason why Cen Xi's expression didn't fluctuate was that, as the person involved, now from other people's mouths, he only heard "something happened" to sum up the accident.

Cen Xi leaned forward slightly. Since that was the case, she was willing to hear about the accident from other people. She was never afraid of failure.

"The Lord of the Houzhao Kingdom, An Xiujun, built water conservancy facilities in the western border. Within half a year, he built all the water conservancy projects through the three counties. It was indeed a great move. However, due to poor construction, the mountain collapsed, causing two Floods in counties and counties." Zong Li said slowly.

Cen Xi didn't respond at all, his expression was like listening to a strange story and staying out of it, but also like he was not interested.

"What happened later?" But the woman in front of her asked again.

"Houzhao's civil turmoil forced Mr. Anxiu to hand over Mr. Cen, the minister in charge of water conservancy construction. Mr. Cen had no choice but to take the blame and punish himself."

Cen Xi moved her finger slightly, taking the blame and committing suicide, yes, she did commit the blame back then, so what about the civil strife?Her death should solve An Xiujun's dilemma, and she should have an explanation for everyone.

"Master Cen is dead, so the civil strife in Houzhao country is over?" Cen Xi pretended to be casual and asked, holding up his teacup to hide the mixed feelings in his belly.

"Things have taken a turn for the better at this time..."

Cen Xi was taken aback, and looked up at Zong Li in front of him. Of course, she was no longer clear about what happened after the suicide.What's more, when things have reached this point, there is no turning point, just like a dead game of chess, there is no possibility of turning around.

After all, the system has already issued a notice, which directly caused her to die early and be reborn early.

Zong Li was not in a hurry, as if he was very sure that the following content would interest Cen Xi, even if it was just a joke, she would be amazed and sigh.

"Originally, everything was doomed at this point, but after a few days, a dramatic news came. The mountain range that collapsed originally discovered a middle iron mine, which is the largest ever discovered in the Western Realm. The iron ore in the entire mountain range is full of iron ore. This iron ore can at least make Houzhao country rich and strong in the next few decades. With such important news, no one has the intention to fight civil strife. Go get a share of the pie. If Mr. Anxiu is willing to spend more time on government affairs, Houzhao Kingdom may be able to change its face from now on, and it is not impossible to rise rapidly within a few years..." Zong Li said slowly.

Cen Xi was taken aback, and belatedly understood the meaning of Zong Li's words, heavy iron ore?Even if she has a little understanding of this world, she also understands what heavy iron ore means to such a cold weapon era.

With a "bang", the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and he didn't even know it.

Does this mean: she died in vain?
