Chapter 16: Countermeasures



It was just a wild idea, he just held on and didn't want to let go. From time to time, chuckles could be heard in the hall, but no one expressed their opinion, waiting for the emperor to refute.

The emperor looked at Shen Shurong and laughed, "Yongjia actually has such a heart?"

Chen Shurong bowed generously, "Uncle Huang is busy with many things every day and has no extra energy to work on the treasury. Grandmother is also old. Yongjia has been with grandma since he was a child. He is influenced by her and feels that he can do it. What's more, grandma can teach Yongjia from time to time."

"Moreover, Yongjia is the princess of the Great Zhou, and is worshipped by the people of the Great Zhou. She also wants to do her part for the people, and should not be just sitting there doing nothing."

The emperor thought seriously that since Yongjia had this intention, he might as well give it a try.

The prince narrowed his eyes. Was she really going to take over?

The ministers were silent for a moment. The eldest duke had always been in charge, and now it was handed over to the granddaughter, and with the eldest princess's assistance, there seemed to be no reason to object.

But we can’t leave it in their hands any longer.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't trust the princess, it's just that she is too young and the treasury is extremely important."

"Yes, Princess, the treasury has become increasingly weak in recent years. Perhaps a change of personnel will bring about changes."

Prime Minister Cao did not move.

Xie Yunzhao became angry after hearing this. Why couldn’t his Rongrong take over?

Duke Lu stood up and bowed, "The princess is indeed too young, and she is about to marry my son. I am afraid it will be inconvenient after the marriage."

Xie Yunzhao also stood up and helped Duke Lu sit down. "Dad, it's not inconvenient. My son and the princess will manage the treasury together. Today, the princess appointed my son as the director of the treasury."

What? The Duke of Lu felt dizzy. The treasury hasn’t been taken out yet, and Yun Zhao had sneaked in?

So, it can be considered as having been taken?

He looked at the prince, who obviously didn't buy it.

Duke Lu didn't say much and sat down with Xie Yunzhao. The treasury now belongs to his son and daughter-in-law, what is he fighting for?

The prince saw through his intention and dragged him into it: "Duke Lu is right. Sister Yongjia is getting married and has more children for the Xie family. I'm afraid she won't have the time or energy to take care of the treasury."

Minister Xu of the Ministry of Revenue was still thinking that the treasury could be under the management of the Ministry of Revenue, but now a princess has appeared. "Yes, the princess is the daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion. After entering the back house, it is inconvenient for her to walk outside. After all, she is different from the eldest princess."

"Hey, old man Xu, you don't understand me. I said I will help the county manager!" Xie Yunzhao retorted directly, one by one, they all came to rob Rongrong's treasury and treated him as a decoration!

The prince laughed, "Yun Zhao, you? It's not that Lord Xu didn't understand, it's just that you make me more worried!"

The ministers in the room burst into laughter, and some noble ladies covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Xie Yunzhao was a joke wherever he went.

Xie Yunzhao was annoyed. How dare the useless prince laugh at him?

Just as he was about to argue, he was stopped by the Duke of Lu.

Chen Shurong bowed to Li Chen, "Now the government is busy, the emperor uncle is working hard every day, and the prince brother is the regent. Do you have a plan to deal with this year's floods and border harassment?"

The prince choked and said, "I am planning it, it will take some time."

"That's it. Yongjia knows that you and Uncle Huang are busy for the people, but Yongjia and Brother Yunzhao have been idle for nearly 20 years. Now they want to do something for the Great Zhou and the people."

"If you don't trust me, can you give Yongjia a year? After a year, we will make a deal based on the benefits. If he is not competent, Yongjia and Brother Yunzhao will resign."

There was complete silence, everyone was thinking.

It’s not impossible to make great achievements in a year.

Without any objections, Shen Shurong looked at the emperor, "Uncle Huang, what do you think?"

"What do you think, Prime Minister?" the emperor asked.

"I think it would be convenient for the princess to take over. The Princess's Mansion knows the treasury very well, so we can give it a try."

The emperor raised his hand and said, "The Prime Minister is right. I am very pleased that Yongjia has such a heart."

"Father, I support this, but my sister Yongjia is getting married, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

"It's okay. I have granted Yongjia a Princess's Mansion, which is next to the Princess's Mansion. Don't worry. Yongjia has been spoiled since he was a child and can't live without his aunt."

The hall was silent again. Princess's Mansion?

Add to that the treasury, wouldn’t it be the next Princess’s Mansion?

Extremely powerful?

The third princess suddenly felt hot on her face and lowered her head as low as she could. She had just boasted that her father doted on her and built the largest princess mansion for her... Damn Yongjia, he wanted to grab everything!

A group of noble ladies also shrank their heads. In the past few days, they had made fun of Princess Yongjia a lot. She lost Prince Xie, could not become the future wife of a duke, lost the best marriage, and was suppressed by the first wife.

As a result, they have a princess’ mansion!

The Xie family was confused. Will Yun Zhao and Yongjia live in the Princess Mansion in the future?

He married his daughter-in-law but took his son away to live with him. The Duke of Lu and his wife did not dare to have any dissatisfaction with this. After all, it was a low status for the princess to marry Xie Yunzhao.

Xie Yunzheng's fists were clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound. He felt extremely heartbroken. All the advantages he had over Xie Yunzhao were now gone!

Xie Yunzhao heard this and grinned, "It's better to live alone, so Rongrong can stay away from Xie Yunzheng."

Chen Shurong walked to the center of the hall and gestured for Xie Yunzhao to come out.

Xie Yunzhao rushed out and supported Shen Shurong. The two of them knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Uncle Huang/Thank you, Your Majesty. We will not let you down."

When the party was over, only the sunset glow remained in the sky.

Chen Shurong took his grandmother's carriage back, and Xie Yunzhao rode a horse to escort him.

The grandparents and grandchildren smiled at each other. Keeping it is the first step. "You will be busy in the future."

"Grandma, Yongjia wants to go out and see more."

"Okay, let Yun Zhao protect you," the eldest princess felt more and more that the changed marriage was good. Yongjia would not have to rely on her husband's family, and it would be better for her to have a husband who would put her first in everything, just like the old man beside her.

"Well, he's willing to do that."

The eldest princess smiled. The couple had known each other since childhood and got along well. If the Duke of Lu’s Mansion had not changed the crown prince, they would have been a couple.

Fate is destined by heaven.

"Yun Zhao is not good at studying, but he is the best at martial arts," Old Master Shen agreed, "He can protect you."

Shen Shurong's cheeks flushed slightly, she knew that all the flesh in his body was tense and full of strength.

When they reached the door of their home, Shen Shurong was helped down by Xie Yunzhao again.

"I'm going home?" the man said with reluctance.

How could Shen Shurong not hear, "Well, be careful on the road."

Xie Yunzhao watched her go in. Sui Han and Yin Zhi wanted to laugh when they saw her, and the son-in-law wished he could follow her in and not leave.

Seeing the gate closed, Xie Yunzhao turned back to get the horse. They had been together for a whole day and it was already very good. Besides, it was normal not to see each other at night.

Qingzhu Qingying was quite satisfied, which was beyond his expectation. He thought he would be rejected several times.

Just as they were about to mount their horses, a man came out of the small door.

When Xie Yunzhao saw Sui Han, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Did the princess give any instructions?"

Sui Han Fu Li: "Second Master, the princess will be waiting for you to have breakfast tomorrow morning."

"I understand. Go back and tell the princess that I will come to accompany her early," Xie Yunzhao's voice was filled with nervous lightness.

Sui Han bowed again, looked up at his expression, smiled and went back, and the son-in-law was happy again.
