Chapter 743: Honesty and upright arrogance

The child was teased by Zhou Heng for a while, and then he was carried away by the wet nurse. When Zhou Heng saw the wet nurse, his face suddenly changed. Taking advantage of Miao'er's time to enter the inner room, he whispered to Chen Ao: "Cousin, this wet nurse..."

Chen Ao said calmly: "Don't make a fuss, I'll get used to it as I looked at it. After looking at this wet nurse, do you think Miao'er is simply unparalleled in the world and a stunning beauty on earth, like a fairy who fell from the sky?"

Zhou Heng took a deep breath and felt it made sense. The chicken nodded like a pecking rice and said, "When thinking about it this way, Sister Miaoer is so beautiful. But..." He immediately said, "My sister is even more beautiful and charming, as if Xizi was alone in the depths of the lotus pond."

Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "That's it, so there is ugliness in this world that beauty will be produced. For example, your cousin, when he sees the wet nurse three or five times a day, he can always examine himself. When he thinks of all the good wives, he feels that he is the happiest person."

Zhou Hengluo said, "My cousin now thinks that the girl who has just walked over is also a fairy-looking girl. If you look at the wet nurse a few more times next time, wouldn't she be as good as a wife?"

Chen Ao said with a stern face: "Don't be greedy in life. If there are sixty or seventy people, you will be content. Why don't you learn? Don't learn..." Chen Ao coughed and said: "Don't learn from the one in Bianjing Palace..."

"Who?" Zhou Heng was confused, then reacted and said, "You are so ruthless, cousin, I've learned bad things from you."

Miao'er smiled and greeted Zhou Heng, with deep eyes. He asked Zhou Heng about Bian Jing, so he could not do without Zhou Ruo. Zhou Heng was foolish and said everything. Chen Ao gave him a wink. Seeing him unaware, he just thought he had heard nothing.

Miao'er chuckled and said, "Husband, your cousin is really interesting."

Chen Ao thought to himself, it was probably Zhou Ruo and Zhen Zhen, An Ning would be more interesting to you. He stammered: "I'm hungry, please ask someone to have a meal and have a meal!"

The three of them were having lunch in this Manshu Pavilion. After all, Zhou Heng came from the Duke Mansion and understood the rules. However, this meal still made him feel a little embarrassed. For example, Miaoer picked up a piece of mutton and gently bit off the lean meat. He put the fat meat stained in Chen Ao's bowl and chopsticks with his feet. Chen Ao just buried his head in chewing and ignored him.

Zhou Heng saw it, hesitated for a moment, then picked up a piece of mutton, bite the lean meat, and put the remaining skin sticks into Chen Ao's bowls and chopsticks.

Chen Ao became angry and slapped his desk: "Does my bowls and chopsticks be trash cans? Pour everything here!"

Miao'er held the chopsticks and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Heng coughed and said, "I...I see..."

Chen Ao raised his face and taught him: "She is her, you are you, do you think this is the custom of the Xixia people?"

Zhou Heng explained: "No, I think that Sister Miaoer is my cousin's wife, and my sister is also my cousin's wife. If she can let her go, I will also let her go to you on behalf of my sister. This is how my cousin is considered a fair bowl of water, right?"

Chen Ao was so angry that he suddenly became silenced. He threw Zhou Heng's pimp and continued to eat, never mentioning this matter. What he feared the most was to mention another one in front of one wife, and he felt guilty and always felt like a thief. He did not forget to say: "The Jurchen envoy has arrived at Longxing Mansion, and my cousin will follow me to see him in the afternoon."

"Oh..." Zhou Heng nodded obediently.

After a meal, Miao'er asked the nurse to carry the child for lunch. Chen Ao and Zhou Heng went to the warm room to have tea. Li Ganshun was no longer willing to come here. After all, this place was more like a study. Now the Supreme Emperor was light and moved to the harem. The place was large and more pure. He occasionally came to the warm room, but the number of times was getting smaller and smaller.

Zhou Heng took a sip of tea and smiled at Chen Ao, saying, "Cousin, you are getting more and more amazing now. Dad said that my cousin's future is limitless."

Chen Ao enjoyed this feeling very much. Zhou Heng's words were not flattery or compliment, but to Shen Ao, it was more beautiful than flattery. He deliberately waved his hand and said, "It's just a mistake. My cousin is lucky. But you, as the prince, have to do the same thing so that you can inherit the family business and carry forward the Zhou family in the future."

Zhou Heng smiled bitterly and said, "I think, but I always feel that heroes are useless. This time I will not have the chance to select the lieutenant to go to Qilian Mountains."

Chen Ao smiled and said slowly: "There are many places to use you in the future. My cousin is afraid that you will be in danger. The Zhou family is the only male. If something happens, will my mother-in-law still have to live?"

Zhou Heng said solemnly: "A man is wearing a horse and a corpse, so how can he have so many children and love each other?"

Chen Ao spat at him: "You are speaking lightly."

Zhou Heng thought for a while and said, "Cousin, when are you going back to Bianjing?"

Chen Ao said lightly: "An Ning's child is about to be born. Of course, he must return as soon as possible, as long as one month or as few as a few days. The matter of Xixia has been straightened out now. I am the Regent, as I am the same as the one? But I am worried that something will happen to Bian Jing."

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What else can happen?"

Chen Ao was just a guess. The collapse of Taiyuan is a huge thing for a country. To put it bluntly, this collapse of the field is enough to trigger a complete reshuffle of the entire court. At this critical time, who knows if anyone will use it to make a fuss? After years of official career, Chen Ao knew that any major event was a time when someone was interested in causing trouble. Some people wanted to consolidate their position, some wanted to eradicate political enemies, some wanted to take the opportunity to gain benefits, and some wanted to move away the stone in front of them to further enter the core of power. Countless people are waiting for an opportunity and waiting for the next breakthrough, and this collapse is enough to become an excuse to make the opponent never turn over.

When Zhou Heng heard Chen Ao say he was going back to Bianjing, he said happily: "Then I will go back with my cousin."

As he was speaking, Huaide walked in and said, "Your Highness, the Jurchen envoy Wanyan Duozhu to meet him."

Chen Ao took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Please come in."

After a cup of tea, a Jurchen man with a tiger back and a bear waist walked in. He glanced at Chen Ao, and a chill flashed in his eyes. If he hadn't been allowed to meet with a knife, he might have the urge to slash Chen Ao with one knife.

Zhou Heng stood up at this time, pressed the knife on his waist, and a trace of malicious intention flashed in his eyes.

Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "Are you the Jurchen envoy Wanyan Duozhu?"

Wanyan Duozhu snorted coldly and said, "I am here to negotiate with Your Highness at your order."

Chen Ao held the teacup, crossed his legs, and kept silent.

Seeing his arrogant look, Wanyan Duozhu was furious and said, "Your Highness, where is my empress dowager? Can I let me meet you?"

Chen Ao closed his eyes, lowered his head, gently blowing away the tea foam and drank a sip of tea, and then said lightly: "Are you a Jurchen envoy?"

This is Chen Ao's second time asking him.

Wanyan Duozhu said in anger: "Your Highness, I want to see the Queen Mother!"

Chen Ao smiled coldly and said, "Come on, blow him out!"

Outside the warm pavilion, two sword-bearing guards rushed in, Wanyan Duozhu said: "What does your Highness mean?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Since you are a Jurchen envoy, you are standing and talking to me like this? This is the rule of your Jurchen people? If you want to talk, I welcome you very much, but what I hate the most is that someone stands taller than me and kneels down!"

The two guards had already pulled out their waist swords. Even Zhou Heng was so murderous that he pulled out his Confucian sword and scolded: "Dog guy, this is also a place where you are acting arrogant?"

Chen Ao's reputation has spread throughout the desert, from beheading the prince, expelling the Jurchen envoy, to defeating the Jurchen cavalry, and robbing out of the pass. In the eyes of the Jurchen people, this guy has become a vicious tyrant. Wanyan Duozhu hesitated for a moment and had to kneel down and said, "Wanyan Duozhu has seen Your Highness."

Chen Ao changed into a smile that looked like spring breeze, sat high on the chair, looked at him from a high point, then said to the guards Nunu and signaled them to go out. Then he said slowly: "Is your king Wanyan Aguda safe?"

Wanyan Duozhu was both discouraged and a little unwilling to say: "Your health is healthy and can't be better."

Chen Ao said oh, then slowly said: "I wonder if the noble envoy comes to my Daxia to declare war or to make an alliance?"

Seeing that Chen Ao pretended not to understand, Wanyan Duozhu said coldly: "I am here to negotiate with Your Highness. Please let Your Highness release my empress dowager return to China."

Chen Ao laughed and said, "It's easy to put it back. I am not an unreasonable person. I live in this world and are based on faith and righteousness. But then again, I am tight recently and I am trying to borrow some money from the king of your country to spend money. Have you brought this money?"

Wanyan Duozhu said: "Your Highness wants too much. If you have 300 million yuan and 500 million yuan, you can still raise one billion yuan. Even if I, the Jurchens, can't raise it even if I can sell it."

Chen Ao said seriously: "Is that true?"

Wanyan Duozhu He nodded and said, "That's right."

Chen Ao curled his lips and said, "Come here, go and invite Dr. Zhou."

Wanyan Duozhu didn't know what mysterious Chen Ao was doing, so he knelt on the ground in a daze. He wanted to stand up but was afraid that the surname Chen would turn against him, but it was really unreasonable to kneel down like this. After a full stick of incense, a man with a doctor-like appearance came over with a book box on his back, put it on, and said, "What are your instructions?"

Chen Ao stood up and said, "Have the accounts settled?"

Dr. Zhou said: "Fortunately, I have not been disgraced."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "You report it and listen."

Dr. Zhou said: "In order to investigate the wealth of the Jurchen Kingdom, Husband specially consulted the Khitan people. In addition, he also asked many prisoners that the Jurchen people rose to the desert and plundered the various tribes in the desert for the time being; only the Qijin Mansion was counted, the Khitan people were robbed for more than one billion guan. Among them, the Khitan treasury has a total of 300 million guan, and the treasures, calligraphy, paintings, and gold and silver in the palace treasury are at least 300 million guan, as well as the princes and nobles, as well as wealthy families. It is estimated that even 1.5 billion guan. What's more, the Khitans are not the only one in the Qijin Mansion in the desert. Therefore, Husband thinks that the wealth of the Jurchen Kingdom is at least 3 billion. Of course, there will be no real gold and silver, but if you count calligraphy, painting, treasures, and antiques, this number is still the most conservative, and in addition..."

Wanyan Duozhu heard the clear-cut words of Dr. Zhou, and he had nothing to say. It turned out that this man surnamed Chen had been thinking about the Jurchens for a long time. The Han people often said that they were not afraid of thieves stealing but were afraid of thieves thinking about them. Today he has experienced it.

Chen Ao narrowed his eyes and waited for Dr. Zhou to finish speaking, then he smiled and said, "You are the one who tells me, is Dr. Zhou wrong?"

Wanyan Duozhu said: "The subordinates didn't know."

Chen Ao's face suddenly changed, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Since you don't know, why did you say that the Jurchen Kingdom couldn't raise so much money? You think I am easy to bully, do you want to bully me? I am nicknamed Chen Hanhou. Usually you see that I am honest and honest, so I believe that I will be deceived by you and let you Jurchens fool you, right?"

"Damn it!" He stood up with a loud noise, pulled out the Shangfang sword from his waist, and stabbed the sword into the imperial desk viciously, and said hideously: "Tell you, I will give you two ways, whether to spend money to eliminate disasters, otherwise... Humph... Go back and tell you the lord that he will not die, and I will definitely make her famous all over the country and cause a sensation in the world!"
