Chapter 490 It’s also a good thing
When her little daughter enters the palace and becomes the crown prince’s princess or just a concubine,
her daughter will listen to Zhu Xuntao.
There is no need for Zhu Xuntao to enter the court or the palace. Whether it is the front court or the harem, Zhu Xuntao will have the right to speak and
become a person who is truly second to one person and above ten thousand people.
The position of the queen is no match for Zhu Xuntao’s dignity.
The Zhao family is willing to put Zhu Xuntao in such a high position!
It can be said that with Madam Ji’s attitude, the person the Zhao family wants to rely on is the crown prince?
No, they clearly want to rely on Zhu Xuntao.
Even Zhu Xuntao was stunned by Madam Ji’s meaning.
Why, even if Zhao Xiangyao becomes the queen in the future, she is willing to listen to her?
No, how could Minister Zhao think that she was such an ambitious person?
This was simply slander for Zhu Xuntao who had always wanted to sit back and relax and retire!
Although she was surprised, she still had to deal with the business.
Zhu Xuntao smiled at Madam Ji and said, "I understand what you mean, Madam."
"Then is the Crown Princess willing?"
Madam Ji was very excited that Zhu Xuntao did not play dumb with her.
"Madam Ji, don't you and Minister Zhao think that your attitude today is a bit misleading?"
"Keep the position of Minister, and then push your little daughter to the side of the prince, and become a popular candidate for the crown princess or even the queen." "
Madam Ji, calculate for yourself, are all the benefits your family's? Our Marquis' Mansion seems to have taken advantage, but also seems not to have taken advantage?"
"What makes me even more surprised is that under the current situation, if we let it go, Minister Zhao's worry will come true."
"Will everything you just described change?"
Xiao Jingshen took over Minister Zhao's job. Does that mean he is no longer the prince's man and does not support the prince?
Compared with Minister Zhao, Xiao Jingshen is his own man and more trustworthy.
The advantages that Madam Ji mentioned are somewhat like a big pie.
In modern times, Zhu Xuntao's stomach was ruined by the big cakes painted by capitalists every day. In the Great Yong Dynasty, can she still eat the cakes of Madam Ji?
She can't eat it.
"Madam Ji, is this your idea or the idea of Minister Zhao?"
"No matter whose it is, I can only say one thing, it's not sincere."
Kneel?
Even if Zhao Xiangyao broke his legs today, she would never nod.
Minister Zhao is in his current situation, and he still wants to take advantage of the Marquis' Mansion. Zhu Xuntao sighed: Absolutely!
Madam Ji blushed and was so embarrassed that she almost buried her head in her skirt: "I, we..."
"Otherwise, if the Crown Prince's Consort has any request, just ask."
She also knew that what she said was sincere, but not much, but what could she do as a woman?
Zhu Xuntao was unwilling to get involved in this matter:
"Minister Zhao wants to fool me, taking advantage of my youth and lack of experience, and even wants me to use my status as a master to suppress my third brother. Minister Zhao is bullying me."
"Since Minister Zhao thinks there is still room for improvement, and you are not sincere at all, Madam Ji, please go back."
"Who knows, Minister Zhao may have come up with a good way to protect himself."
Madam Ji felt that she was sincere, but Zhu Xuntao refused to admit it.
After being sent away by Zhu Xuntao, Madam Ji took her two daughters and the three of them returned to the Zhao Mansion with a dejected look on their faces.
Just by looking at the expressions of the mother and daughters, Minister Zhao knew that the plan had failed.
After Madam Ji repeated all the conversations between her and Zhu Xuntao to Minister Zhao, Minister Zhao sighed deeply.
He was not insincere about this cooperation, but he was too naive and wanted too much.
"My Lord, what should we do if the Crown Prince's wife doesn't allow it?"
"Also, although Xiangyao can still wait, there may not always be a suitable position for Xiangyao by the side of the Crown Prince."
"If you miss this opportunity, how can Xiangyao compete with those women in the future?"
Seize, just seize an opportunity.
Minister Zhao smiled bitterly. How could he not understand what Madam Ji said, but... he
was reluctant to give away something that he had worked hard for half a lifetime. Even if he knew, he could no longer keep it.
"The Crown Princes' Consorts want us to surrender?"
Madam Ji nodded: "That's what the Crown Princes' Consorts said."
"Okay!"
After a long time, so long that Madam Ji thought that Minister Zhao would not speak again, but Minister Zhao finally made up his mind and made a decision,
"Wait for me here for a while, I will write something, and you go to the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion and give the things to the Crown Princes' Consorts, and see what the Crown Princes' Consorts say."
The Crown Princes' Consorts were right, and only by giving up can you gain. You ca
n't have your cake and eat it too, and he can only choose one of the two.
After Madam Ji took the things given by Minister Zhao and hurried to the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion for the second time,
Zhu Xuntao read all the contents under Madam Ji's anxious gaze and finally nodded to Madam Ji: "Yes."
"Thank you, Crown Princess!"
Madam Ji cried with joy, her voice choked,
"Then..."
"No need to ask more questions, you take my answer back to Minister Zhao, he will understand."
Zhu Xuntao returned one of the two letters in his hand to Madam Ji and asked her to take it back.
In fact, what Zhu Xuntao returned was not a letter, but a memorial in the strict sense, a memorial from Minister Zhao requesting to resign and retire.
The position of Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Revenue was not tolerated by either the emperor or the prince.
Zhu Xuntao still has an old grudge against Shangshu Zhao. Zhu Xuntao was once betrayed by Shangshu Zhao because of a glass incident.
Therefore, even if Zhu Xuntao is capable, it is impossible for him to help Shangshu Zhao keep this official position.
It is rare that the emperor can think clearly and does not mind using men from the marquisate other than Xiao Jingzhan.
Zhu Xuntao must strike while the iron is hot and reserve this position for Xiao Jingshen.
It is because after Minister Zhao left, no matter how well Xiao Jingshen performed, he could not take office directly. He had to gain some experience. The person
after Minister Zhao was just there
to hold a position for Xiao Jingshen. Apart from the title of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, everything else was Xiao Jingshen's business.
The person arranged by the crown prince after this situation could accept it, but Minister Zhao certainly could not.
Since Minister Zhao was unwilling to hold a position for Xiao Jingkong, he naturally did not even have the qualifications to hold a position.
This time, the news brought back by Madam Ji was barely good news. At least Zhu Xuntao agreed.
But when Lord Zhao received this answer, he smiled a smile that was uglier than crying:
"In this case, Xiangyao can finally get what she wants."
It's a good thing that one of them can make her dream come true, right?
