    After King Zheng had discussed government affairs with the emperor, he arrived at Yanghe Hall. Seeing Wen Wan busy, he smiled and said, "Wan'er, go and see if you have been lazy recently. Have you made any progress in your writing?"

    King Zheng looked at Wen Wan's words and shook his head, "My writing has not improved at all recently. Although I am busy, I can't fall behind. Come, play chess with your uncle." Wen Wan nodded meekly.

    The two of them played chess quietly, and Xia Yao came in to get some tea.  Wen Wan frowned. When playing chess, she was most tired of being disturbed by others.

    Xia Yao looked at Wen Wan and exited with a smile.

    King Zheng wanted to speak, but Wen Wan shook his head.  Wen Wan scratched the table a few times with her hands.  So, the two continued to play chess.

    "Wan'er, how are you doing with your uncle?" King Zheng wrote.  When Wen Wan is around the emperor, she can always guess three points of the holy will.  The more you know, the better you can respond.  There will be no detours.

    "The basic thing is to work diligently, handle things with a high profile, and behave in a low-key manner. The most important thing is to put the stability and interests of the court first." Wen Wan wrote it out word by word.

    The closer to the critical moment of the game, the more calm you have to be.  Just like when negotiating.  Whoever can't help but take action first will lose.  And fighting for the throne is no more than negotiating. You must also get the emperor's approval.  Working diligently on errands can prove your ability.  Only by doing things with a high profile and being a low-key person will you be appreciated by the ministers below.  Putting the stability and interests of the court first, only by doing this can one prove to be a qualified prince.

    Since you want to sit in that position, you must put yourself in that position and look at the problem.  The prince must not only have outstanding abilities, but also have far-sighted political ability, and must have a mind that can accommodate all rivers.  If you have these, you have passed the test.  It is impossible for a person to manage a country well without considering the overall situation.  Just like the book says.  Endure what is difficult for ordinary people to endure, and do what is difficult for ordinary people to do.  That proves it.  You are qualified.

    As for any more nonsense about brothers and sisters, Wen Wan is no longer stupid.  Just show an attitude and don't take the initiative to cause trouble.  As for the outcome of the fight for the throne, no matter the previous dynasty, it is the current dynasty, which one will end well.  If you want to prevent him from dying, let him ascend to a high position.  As long as Uncle Zheng can make things more harmonious and leave some room, that will be enough.

    Wen Wan put down the chess piece in her hand.  There was a knock on the door outside, and Xia Yao brought in the cakes Wen Wan requested.  Xia Ying brought over the soaked chrysanthemum honey.

    King Zheng smelled the fragrance and said with a smile: "This is another thing you made!" Wen Wan smiled and said that it was indeed something he made in his spare time.

    The two of them stayed together for an hour.  at last.  King Zheng's move was still one step behind.  Gentleness wins.  Wen Wan knew that Uncle Zheng's heart was not at peace.

    King Zheng praised, "Wan'er's chess skills have made great progress."

    Wen Wan smiled and wrote, "It's not that Wen Wan's art has made great progress. It's because my uncle's heart is not at peace. Uncle, no matter what happens, you must maintain a peaceful mind. Only by keeping a clear head at all times can you not make mistakes. Uncle, in this situation  At this moment, the most important thing is to see who can remain calm. My uncle has endured so many hardships and suffered so many years. Wen Wan believes that he can remain calm now."

    ?????? Gentle words.  They all talked about it in the heart of King Zheng.  Touching his head, he said, "Wan'er, don't worry, uncle knows." He felt relieved to hear Wen Wan's words.  This proves that his father actually favors him.  My father did it so secretly that most people wouldn't notice it.  Only Wen Wan can detect it.  However, these are enough, and it is worth enduring it for so many years.

    When the two uncles and nephews were about to say something, a eunuch sent a message outside, saying that the emperor asked Wen Wan to come with Prince Zheng to have dinner.

    In ancient times, it was important to eat without speaking and sleep without speaking.  So I usually stay quiet when eating.  But now, Wen Wan looked at the royal wine in Eunuch Wen's hand, her eyes bright.

    "Want to drink?" Wen Wan nodded quickly.

    The emperor looked at Wen Wan's greedy look, smiled and asked Eunuch Wen to pour her a glass, and Wen Wan took a sip.  Well, it tastes really good.  It's better to drink it gently and slowly, and say drink it instead of saying taste it directly.

    Wenwan looked happy, making the emperor chuckle.  This silly girl in my family has three major hobbies: one is good wine, and a woman is actually good at wine, which makes people laugh and cry; second, she is obsessed with money; third, she is extremely afraid of death and is cautious in everything she does.  , after that incident, I became even more cautious.  According to Wen Wan, you must look at the sky before going out, otherwise, a stone will fall from the sky and kill you, which is an injustice.

    "The war is getting more and more intense along the coast. Bai Shinian is getting discounts every day, and he needs weapons and equipment and food and salary. Yulong Pass is not peaceful either. The Manchus are watching with eager eyes. It is estimated that there will be several more long battles after the beginning of spring. Here at the Ministry of Revenue, but  Do you have enough money to support the front?" The emperor ate slowly and asked King Zheng while eating.

    On weekdays, we should pay attention to eating without talking and sleeping without talking.  todayThe emperor was an exception.

    "The tax revenue in Jiangnan is getting less and less year by year. Now, it is one-third less than ten years ago. To support the huge expenditures in the two places ahead, the Ministry of Household Affairs is very tight." King Zheng frowned.

    The emperor was naturally very clear about it, so he turned to ask, "The third child of your family has not yet gotten married, but which girl does he like?" Wen Wan admired the emperor's jumping thoughts.  But this time, she was just slowly tasting the wine.  Today's wine tastes really good.

    "The princess is choosing. I think once she gets married, she won't be so impulsive anymore." King Zheng said cautiously.

    The emperor was noncommittal and saw that Wen Wan had secretly drank three small cups while the two were talking like a cat. The emperor couldn't laugh or cry.  He is gentle and good at drinking, but his drinking capacity is extremely poor. He will basically get drunk after just two drinks.  Fortunately, he was very drunk, so he climbed into bed and fell asleep.  Never talk nonsense.  No worries about leaks.

    The emperor saw Wen Wan's appearance, and so did Prince Zheng. Wen Wan pretended to be stupid, lowered her head, and ate the food slowly.  The emperor didn't care if she said, "All grain seeds have been distributed to various provinces. Everything is sorted down below." This errand is still assigned to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works.

    Last year, the number of Wenwan sweet potatoes increased from more than one million to tens of millions of kilograms.  Starting in January, these grain seeds began to be shipped to several provinces prone to drought.  If there are no problems, the big problem of food can be solved in less than three years.

    King Zheng responded: "Everything has been prepared below. All relevant people have also been dispatched. I believe that this year will be a good harvest."

    The emperor was quite satisfied with King Zheng's ability to do things: "There have been a lot of things lately. Do you feel that it is difficult? If you feel that you can't cope with it, I will ask King Heng to come back and help you."

    "My son" King Zheng's heart tightened, and he was ready to reply to the emperor's words in a decent manner and let the emperor make the decision.  The words remained unspoken.  Just heard a thud.

    Turning around, Wen Wan was lying on the table, looking at the emperor with drunken eyes, squinting and giggling, as if she was about to fall asleep.  Looking at it like that, I was drunk.

    "Normally, it takes two drinks to get drunk, but why is she drunk now? You didn't watch her carefully, so you just let her drink secretly." The emperor asked with a smile.  One look showed that Wen Wan was drunk.

    Wen Wan¡¯s eyes are blurred and she wants to sleep.  The emperor smiled and asked the palace maid to help him back, then waved his hand and asked King Zheng to go back.  This topic was not continued.

    Wenwan returned to the palace, and Xia Yao helped her get into bed.  After waiting for the person to go out, he turned sideways, facing inward, and fell asleep.

    After King Zheng left the palace, he looked back at the location of Yongning Palace.  If Wen Wan hadn't interrupted like this just now, no matter how he answered, it would be extremely detrimental to him.  It seemed that his father was indeed extremely dissatisfied with his previous actions.  You have to be careful in the future.  But thinking of Wen Wan's cute and naive look just now, King Zheng laughed again.  This girl is so clever!  Getting drunk was really timely.

    King Zhao got the news immediately and asked a secret guard.  "Have you found out what Princess Wenwan said to Prince Zheng?"

    "No, the two of them played chess for an hour, and then the emperor ordered them to have a meal. There were no ashes in the study, and there was no water on the table. Nothing could be found. After the meal, Princess Wenwan drank three glasses of wine.  , drunk. He was helped back to Yongning Palace and Prince Zheng also checked very carefully.  Even these were found.

    "The emperor said that he would let Prince Heng come back to help Prince Zheng with his errands, but because Princess Wen Wan was drunk, nothing happened. If Prince Heng comes back, it will muddy the waters. This will be extremely beneficial to us." The people below were cautious.  said.

    King Zhao was thoughtful after hearing this and said nothing.  If King Heng comes back, the situation will be even more chaotic than it is now.  It's not a good thing for him either.  What on earth is Father doing?

    "Your Majesty, by doing this, the emperor should be warning Prince Zheng not to make too many small moves. Otherwise, Prince Heng will really come back, and then this trip will really become more and more confusing. It is not conducive to the stability of the court."  One of the staff said.  Because under normal circumstances, what the emperor said would not be spread without the emperor's instructions.

    "Well, the border is not peaceful now, and a war is about to start along the coast. He can't let the situation be chaotic. This time it is probably to express dissatisfaction with King Zheng and give him a warning. But the more this happens, the worse it will be." Zhuang  The more the gentleman spoke, the more serious his face became, and finally he became shocked.  That way, I was extremely frightened.

    "What's wrong?" King Zhao looked at Staff Zhuang's appearance, his heart tightened, and bad thoughts immediately came out.  In so many years, this was the first time that King Zhao saw Mr. Zhuang lose his composure.

    "For this matter, if we are going to reprimand you, you should be reprimanded first? Because the prince started this matter. But why did the emperor only reprimand Prince Zheng?" Mr. Zhuang's face was ashen.  No, it¡¯s impossible after so many years of hard work.  For the first time, Mr. Zhuang did not believe his speculation.

      "Isn't this a good thing? You really wish that the prince would be reprimanded." Another staff member said unhappily.

    "A good thing? What good thing? It can be seen from this incident that the emperor's requirements for Prince Zheng are obviously higher than those for the prince. Is this still a good thing? For us, there is nothing worse than this? Your Majesty, this is  This is extremely bad news," Mr. Zhuang said with numbness.  The higher the requirements for King Zheng, the greater the emperor's expectations for King Zheng.  The meaning behind the great expectations is self-evident.

    Author's words: There has been a power outage until now, so I'm sorry for the delay.  (To be continued)
