From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Zhou Yuan's eyes seemed to be glowing, and that light was brighter than the moon in the sky, as if it could illuminate people's hearts and clear their souls.

His voice was very calm, but every word seemed to contain endless power and unimaginable firmness.

"I... I..."

Qu Ling's heart suddenly became confused. She was just a rebellious girl. Although she had made some achievements in the business world, she couldn't find her heart for a while when facing such a big thing.

"Zhou Yuan, I... I don't know how to answer you."

Her expression was no longer playful, but solemn and anxious, with a little impatience.

"In fact, I am just an ordinary woman. I have no way to influence the will of my family. I can't help you."

"My father and grandfather are both very opinionated people. They will not consider my opinions at all. Otherwise, I would not be forced to run away from home and flee south to get married."

"You think too much of me."

Zhou Yuan's eyes were calm, but he kept staring at Qu Ling, as if he wanted to see through her soul.

He said in a deep voice: "You can help me, you have the ability. You have a business mind, you have the ability to manage money and grain, you have a wide network of contacts, and you have a huge family behind you."

"I won't force you to ask the family to do anything, but I need you to help me as much as you can."

"When the sky falls, there will be rivers of blood and mountains of corpses."

"As a man, I don't want to see my homeland being slaughtered and destroyed like this. I want to protect the prosperity here."

"And you are one of the most important people to me."

Qu Ling clenched her fists. Although she was smart, she had no idea about such a big thing.

She just held the teacup and drank tea sip by sip, her face full of entanglement.

Finally, she looked up at Zhou Yuan and said, "I don't know whether to refuse or agree. Can you tell me about it?"

Zhou Yuan said, "If the Great Jin Dynasty perishes, the world will belong to the Tartars, the children of the Han family will be enslaved and slaughtered, the women of the Han family will be imprisoned and humiliated, the war will sweep across the country, and the people will not be able to live."

"If we succeed, the Great Jin Dynasty will still be the Great Jin Dynasty. Perhaps the prosperity will be destroyed by the war, but a better Great Jin Dynasty and a more prosperous era will be established."

Qu Ling said, "If there is a choice, I certainly hope that the world will get better and better. Businessmen need a big environment."

"But do we really have a choice? Is it really meaningful to agree or not?"

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice, "I have no intention of bragging, but I also have the courage to admit that I have the talent to rule the world and the ambition to swallow the universe, and I am willing to devote myself to it and mend the cracks in the sky."

Qu Ling fell into a long silence.

She was entangled with countless things, but more confused.

She was not thinking about whether to refuse, she was just thinking about what she could do about this matter.

But she finally raised her head and said solemnly: "It was you who saved me from the pool of blood with a sword."

"From now on, I am willing to fall in the pool of blood with you, without any regrets."

Zhou Yuan stood up and bowed deeply to her.

Qu Ling returned the gift but sighed softly: "Zhou Yuan, although I promised you, I have no confidence."

"I admit that your idea is correct, but everything has a beginning, but few can have an end. What will be our final outcome?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said lightly: "My willpower is still firm. To be honest, once I make a decision, I will hardly change it, at least not because of hardship."

Qu Ling said: "So Dajin is already like this, what can we do?"

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said: "At least we must first ensure the safety of Lin'an Prefecture, keep Zhejiang, and keep the court's purse."

Qu Ling smiled bitterly: "How to keep Zhejiang? You said that the rebellion is very close, and we can't stop it."

Zhou Yuan said: "Everything has a way. In the current situation, we can only go all out."

Qu Ling said: "Then we What should I do now? "

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "In the next few days, you will visit the most famous Confucian scholars or geniuses in Zhejiang. They must be well-known and well-known."

"I want you to help them prepare psychologically and let them know the situation in the court and Lin'an."

Qu Ling was full of doubts: "Confucian scholars? What can they do? To be honest, in my eyes, they are just noisy."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "After all, scholars are still respected. Their voices can guide the voices of the people to a certain extent and represent the people's will."

"At the critical moment of the stalemate, they can play an extremely important role."

Qu Ling thought about it, and then smiled bitterly: "I really don't know anything about this matter, but I listen to you, leave the Confucian scholars to me."

Speaking of this, she suddenly frowned and said: "Speaking of Confucian scholars, Shen Qiaoshan is definitely the core personI have a thing, but I can't see him. After all, he has a very good relationship with my grandfather. I am worried that he will write a letter and send it directly to Jinling. "

"Leave it to Shen Qiaoshan."

Zhou Yuan said, "I will visit him tomorrow."

Qu Ling hurriedly said, "Don't ignore another person, Kong Li Kong Cunzhen. This person is a genius, a Jinshi, and a Shujishi appointed by His Majesty. However, he resigned from the position and was sought after by countless people. "

Zhou Yuan frowned and said, "Do you know this person?"

Qu Ling said, "Everyone knows him. He is the most traditional Confucian scholar. He doesn't eat soft or hard food, but only eats Confucian food."

"That's easy to deal with. "

Zhou Yuan had an idea in mind, but he was still worried.

Qu Ling alone was not enough. If he wanted to achieve great things, he would need a lot of helpers, at least a certain amount of helpers to complete the initial rise.

The key here may still depend on his father-in-law.

And Qu Ling had even less confidence, and was even confused.

She looked at Zhou Yuan and sighed faintly: "I really don't know what we can do, alas..."

Zhou Yuan pointed out the window and smiled: "Look, it's dawn. "

The moon disappeared without a trace. The sky in the east was turning pale, and a faint red light could be seen. It seemed that the morning glow was about to appear. Today would be a good day.

He did not sleep all night, but was in high spirits. He walked out of the door slowly. He saw the green leaves of the trees falling, the fruits were conceived, everything was bursting, and everything was welcoming the newest posture.

This is the seventh day.

Lord Wang Ang, what are you doing?

There was no carriage in the backyard, but he walked to the Qianhu Suo.

All along the way, there were people who got up early, pushing carts and carrying goods. They A new day has also arrived.

Even though their lives have never changed, they have only been worrying about food.

There is still a long way to go in life, but for Zhou Yuan, everything is too urgent.

To truly break the deadlock, the right time, right place, and right people are all indispensable.

However, Zhou Yuan felt much better when he saw Gao Biao gather all the hundreds of people from the Inspection Department of Qianhu Suo together and almost enforce the order.

And Gao Biao's words made Zhou Yuan frown.

"Sir, Qianhu Wang is back, just two quarters of an hour ago."
