Side of the Jade Throne

After eating too much breakfast, Taiqi has to go to the court meeting.On such an occasion, Zhenye is of course not suitable to accompany him.

"Is it really all right?" Taiqi asked with some concern. After the Baigui Palace was cleaned up, most of the officials were temporarily transferred from the local government. He didn't trust those people, so he couldn't assign female officials to accompany Zhenye.

Zhenye's calm expression reassured Tai Qi a little: "It's okay, I have some personal friendship with King Jiao, and I lived in Baigui Palace for a while, so I won't get lost."

Tai Qi nodded: "Okay, after dealing with the government affairs, let's have lunch together in Renzhong Hall."

Seeing Taiqi still looking serious, Zhenye finds it very interesting.

——Did you get used to appointments for lunch in the past?

After Taiqi came to court, Zhenye naturally didn't want to stay in the Hall of Renzhong, but now she is not suitable for wandering around, so she informed the female officer and went to the palace library.

Zhenye is no stranger to Shuku.King Jiao and Xiaozong are both warriors, and Dai Guo has a tough folk style. The library has not been greatly changed in the past few decades, and it has almost maintained the appearance that Zhenye saw more than 30 years ago.

After the Axuan Rebellion, Dai Guo's talents withered, but the person guarding the library was still the same person from more than 30 years ago.

The scribe was a short, fat old man with a beard that grew to his waist. He looked at the girl who came suddenly in some surprise.

Dignified and elegant, rich in brocade clothes, and most importantly - black hair and black eyes.

Black is Swiss color.

If it wasn't for a young girl instead of a young man, the scribe would almost have thought that the famous person had arrived.

In the history of the Twelve Kingdoms, except for the extremely rare black unicorn, there were only two pure-color black hair and black eyes: Princess Hua, the last king, and Princess Liu, the current king.

However, Princess Hua only exists in legends, and Princess Liu

Before the clerk finished thinking, Zhenye smiled and nodded: "Master Yu Yu, I haven't seen you for a few years. I never thought you were still being raised in the library. You are really a pleasant person."

A trace of horror appeared on Yu Yu's face: "Princess Liu, aren't you?"

Zhenye gently stretched out his sleeves and sat down: "It is precious and effective."

Yu Yu suddenly realized, and hurriedly took some clear springs to make tea.

Sitting in the position many years ago, holding steaming tea, Zhenye felt a warmth that traveled through time through his fingertips.

Yu Yutong Zhenye is an old acquaintance.Zhenye has been missing for these years, so Yu Yu is naturally curious.

"Where has the princess traveled all these years?"

"Penglai." Zhenye said to Shang Yuyu's surprised expression, "For some reason, only His Majesty the King of Thailand and Taifu Tai know my identity in Baigui Palace. Please also hide it for me temporarily and tell me to stay Ji is fine."

The teacup in Yu Yu's hand paused: "Since you are hiding your identity, princess, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhenye said with a smile: "Master Yu Yu is knowledgeable, at least no one in the country of Dai can surpass him, but I don't know, at a time when the country is waiting to be rebuilt, would you be willing to help His Majesty the King of Thailand?"

The kind and amiable smile on Yu Yu's face faded away, replaced by a dull face: "I'm getting old, and I have no intention of doing things that are doomed to fail."

Zhenye still had a gentle smile: "How do you know that you are doomed to fail?"

Yu Yu sighed quietly: "Sovereign Xiao is the same kind of person as the proud king back then. Speaking of this—" He looked at Zhenye curiously, "In the past, neither you nor Sect Master Xiao could get used to each other. Why did you become the lobbyist of Sect Master Xiao today?"

"No." Zhenye covered his hands with a teacup. It was a very cute gesture, but his eyes were sharp and direct. Is Your Majesty still the King of the Wind from ten years ago?"

Yu Yu looked at Zhenye in shock, and sighed softly: "Zhenye deserves to be called the 'princess with the air of a king'."

Such insight into things and people's hearts, such sharp words and methods...

After getting an affirmative answer, Zhenye was not in a hurry to leave, and hurried back to the Hall of Renzhong after reminiscing with Yu Yu until noon.

The female officials outside the hall looked at Zhenye who made Taiqi "wait for a long time" with unkind expressions, but after Zhenye stepped into the side hall, Taiqi was the only one.

Tai Qi at the dining table had a gloomy face, as if he was distressed.

Zhenye smiled lightly, walked up to Taiqi lightly, covered his eyes, and whispered into Taiqi's ears with a soft and smiling voice: "Who am I?"

Taiqi was taken aback, and the corners of his lips pursed lightly: "Are you hungry?"

Seeing that Taiqi was serious and uncooperative, Zhenye brushed his cheeks with his hands and hung them around his neck: "Fortunately, I drank some tea at the old man's place. It must be very easy for a gentleman to deal with Ruizhou affairs after the court is over." are you tired?"

"Fortunately."

"Don't comfort me, I know everything about Taifu's work, and it's not uncommon for him to be so busy that he forgets to eat lunch." Having said that, Zhenye sat back in his seat and picked up some dishes for Taiqi, " Eat it quickly."

Taiqi was originally upset and had no appetite, and only took time to go back to Renzhong Hall to have dinner with Zhenye. Even though Zhenye had a spring-like temperament, Taiqi's melancholy did not decrease a bit.

Originally, Zhenye didn't intend to directly interfere in other countries' internal affairs, but Taiqi's expression made her lose her appetite.

Zhenye put down the jade chopsticks: "What are you worrying about?"

Taiqi didn't want to bring government affairs back to the Hall of Renzhong, but he really wanted to confide in others: "Winter is coming again, the national treasury is not enough to support the winter expenses, and many people will die... "

Zhenye is silent, the pressure of human life is the heaviest for Ren Beast.

After a long time, Zhenye said: "In the history of various countries, there is no lack of difficulties in breaking mountains. Among the existing kings, there is the king Yan who is far away, and the king who is near. They all stood up in the danger of breaking mountains. They lack money and people. Everything has happened, and this is not a problem that cannot be solved.” It’s just that in the process of solving the problem, some unfortunate people must die.

Hearing the words, Taiqi relaxed his heart a little, and asked casually: "What was the situation of His Majesty the King?"

Zhenye seemed to think of something interesting, and said with a smile, "Father is very lucky."

"Didn't the damage caused by the late kings not be great?"

Zhenye shook his head: "The former king's posthumous title 'Li Wang' was originally very strict. In the later period, he can be said to be a tyrant. The weather is uncertain, and he will kill his officials from time to time."

"Did someone help His Majesty King Lie?"

"It's okay to say that." Zhenye smiled, "Father came from a family of merchants, and the family was Shun's largest drug dealer. Father was born in a major, and he stepped into the government step by step from the university. He is very popular, even with the university. The most withdrawn and unpopular student can still say a few words." When Zhenye said this, he turned his eyes, and there was a shocking reversal, "That withdrawn and unpopular student is the later King Li."

This luck...

"King Li went to ascend the mountain before he graduated from university, while his father entered the government step by step. His father is capable, rich, and popular, and as the only friend of King Li, he naturally rose to the top. One of the top six officials. At the craziest time in the late King Li, his father, as his most trusted person, saved many innocent officials. Therefore, after the death of King Li, his father was naturally pushed to the position of slaughterhouse. become a false king."

"Although King Li likes extravagance, his father, as the prime minister, preserved the most basic stock of the national treasury. He was elected king by ascending the mountain, which is also expected by everyone." It is very lucky. Under such circumstances, the new king can grasp the government better and faster by virtue of his own education and experience, contacts and influence he has established for many years. Like his father, he was born in a wealthy family, graduated from a university, and served as the Dazai Ten years, and three years of experience as a magistrate and false king, he is kind to all officials, and he can accept the throne smoothly without any transition, which is rare good luck even among kings." Zhenye said, "Like His Majesty Yan Wang, His Majesty Fan Wang and His Majesty Gong Wang also all have superior family background and knowledge and education, but when it comes to the accumulation of officialdom, probably only His Majesty Cai Wang can compare with the father."

Seeing Taiqi's pensive expression, Zhenye couldn't help but smile: "Do you think father is born like this?"

Tai Qi looked up at her, saw her and said: "This is my own way of life, built up by my father over decades, and it cannot be replaced by anything else, time."

Seeing Taiqi's still blank expression, Zhenye said: "In the afternoon, let's meet someone."

"Who?"
