Chen Youliang was fantasizing about what would happen after becoming emperor.
However, he was not dreaming of a long and glorious future.
Nowadays, looking at all the rebel kings in the world, he indeed has the greatest power.
At this moment, Chen Youliang had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and sufficient food and wages. If Zhao Min had not promptly recalled the 600,000 troops from Jiangnan to defend the city of Dadu, Chen Youliang would most likely have been enthroned as emperor.
It’s a pity that there are too many people who want to be emperor. If Chen Youliang wants to become emperor, he has to defeat at least four people.
These four people are Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Min, Zhang Wuji, and the dying Zhang Shicheng.
Except for Zhang Shicheng who is relatively easier to deal with, none of the remaining three are easy to deal with.
…
Three days later.
Zhang Wuji's troops finally withdrew to Jinyang, Shanxi.
Jinyang City has high walls and thick walls. As long as we can hold this place, we can stop Zhao Min's army from advancing westward.
In the city, generals such as Yang Xiao had already cleaned the best mansion thoroughly.
This mansion is waiting for its owner.
Zhou Zhiruo and others were extremely happy when they stepped into this mansion.
Only Zhang Wuji's face showed a trace of melancholy.
Zhou Zhiruo only needed to glance at Zhang Wuji to know what he was thinking.
Zhou Zhiruo said to Zhang Wuji, "Don't think too much. Although we suffered a defeat and lost Longcheng, we still have Hexi, such a large piece of land in our hands. In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to turn the tables."
"Don't worry, Zhao Min is no match for you. Sooner or later she will become your prisoner."
Zhang Wuji looked at Zhou Zhiruo with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Zhiruo, I'm not the kind of person who can't afford to lose."
"What's more, failure is also a good thing. It's better to lose to Zhao Min now than to lose to her in a few years."
Zhao Linger on the side quickly said: "That's right, who hasn't lost a battle in his life? People who have always had smooth sailing cannot become emperors. Only those who are indomitable can conquer the world."
After Zhao Linger said this, she turned around and said to Yu Fei who was following behind her: "Junior sister, you must find a way to collect one million taels of cash from our Jiangnan bank tomorrow and transport it here as quickly as possible."
Yu Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, senior sister, for giving me a day to rest. If you asked me to do this today, it would be too disrespectful to me."
"One million taels," when Zhao Linger said this number, Zhu'er immediately ran to her side.
Zhu'er said with a smile: "Sister, I heard that you were rich a few days ago, so I thought you were just a lady from a wealthy family."
"I didn't expect that you would not make a move, but you made a move of one million taels. This amount of money might not be available even during the heyday of the Ming Cult."
"Sister, tell me honestly where you got so much money. In the future, I will ask you directly for money for my sisters' food, clothing and other expenses."
Zhao Linger laughed and said to Zhu'er, "My dear sister, I told you a long time ago that I am rich enough to rival a country, but you still underestimated me."
"Don't worry, I will take care of all the food, clothing and other expenses for the sisters in the future."
Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhao Linger's smug look and became extremely angry.
Although she had never cared about money, at this moment, she envied Zhao Linger from the bottom of her heart.
Zhou Zhiruo thought to herself, "Right now is the time when Zhang Wuji needs money, but I can't even come up with a single penny. This is so embarrassing."
Zhou Zhiruo was angry because of her poverty.
Zhang Wuji on the side said to Zhao Linger shyly: "Miss Zhao, I'm spending your money again. You have helped me so much."
"Now, I feel like I'm living off you."
Before Zhao Linger could reply, Zhu'er said quickly: "Brother Wuji, what do you mean by being a gigolo? What you said is so harsh. Sister Zhao is already yours, and she is pregnant with your child."
"We have been a family for a long time, there is no need to distinguish between you and me. The worst that can happen is that when you become the emperor in the future, you can just give her the position of queen."
Zhu'er's last words are the finishing touch.
What Zhao Linger was too embarrassed to tell Zhang Wuji was actually blurted out by Zhu'er, the heartless girl.
Now that things have come to this, Zhao Linger actually hopes that she can have a sister with a more straightforward personality to speak up for her.
Zhao Linger didn't say anything. She just stood there, snapping her fingers back and forth nervously.
On the other hand, Zhang Wuji.
He first glanced at Han Zhao, then looked at Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo thought to herself, "I didn't expect this day would come so soon."
Zhou Zhiruo knew that Zhang Wuji was asking for her opinion. Even though he also wanted Zhao Linger to become his future queen, as long as she didn't nod, this matter would not happen.
Although Zhou Zhiruo sometimes likes to act like a little woman and is jealous, at this moment, she knows even more clearly that Zhao Linger is Zhang Wuji's biggest help in conquering the world.
Now that things had come to this, Zhou Zhiruo decided to give it her all. She had been spending half a year with Zhao Linger day and night.
"Zhou Zhiruo also understands Zhao Linger's character. She is genuine and treats Zhang Wuji wholeheartedly. In return, she just wants the position of queen."
"From a woman's perspective, it's actually nothing. If you're pregnant, you can fight for it."
"But since my stomach is not doing well, I can't blame anyone else."
After Zhou Zhiruo figured everything out, she said to Zhang Wuji calmly, "I had the same idea, but that little girl Zhu'er said it first."
"Today, since we have come this far, let's talk it out completely."
"I think Sister Zhao is the best choice for the queen. She is of noble birth and rich enough to rival a country. In terms of cultivation, apart from Zhao Min, no other woman in the world can compare with her."
After Zhou Zhiruo finished speaking, Han Zhao, who had been on the sidelines, spoke up and said, "Since Miss Zhu'er and Sister Zhou both think that Sister Zhao is the only choice for the queen, then I have nothing more to say."
"My biggest dream in this life is just to serve tea and water to you, sir. I don't care about my status, I just want to stay by your side."
"Our family has finally gotten together again. Today, I will let you taste my cooking skills."
"I, Han Zhao, may not be as good as you in other areas, but what I cook must be your favorite."
