To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 236 Volume 5 8 Sounds of Ganzhou

You Miao never thought that these two people would quarrel in just a few words. Today, Zhao Chao has been quite irritable from the very beginning, and hurriedly said, "We'll talk about this when the time comes. Don't get angry."

"I've done everything you asked me to help with." Li Zhifeng said, "When fulfilling your promise, don't evade. You are the Son of Heaven."

Zhao Chao said calmly: "Because I am the emperor, the courtiers have never been qualified to ask me to honor anything."

"But I'm not your subject." Li Zhifeng replied.

Zhao Chao exploded in an instant, staring at Li Zhifeng, unable to say a word for a while.You Miao wanted to persuade him, but suddenly felt that Zhao Chao had nothing to do with Li Zhifeng.So You Miao didn't want to persuade him anymore.Suddenly there was a kind of schadenfreude, wanting to see what Zhao Chao wanted to do with Li Zhifeng.

Li Zhifeng was always looking at Zhao Chao with the same appearance that the mountain collapsed on the top without changing his face.

Zhao Chao panted for a while, calmed down, and nodded instead: "You're right."

"You promised to give me [-] soldiers." Li Zhifeng said, "You can't go back on your word."

Zhao Chao smiled and said: "I really have no choice. You lead the troops yourself, and you know best in your heart that there are only 6 people who can fight. Where do you want me to gather 5 people for you?"

Li Zhifeng originally thought that after recovering the Central Plains, he would borrow troops from Zhao Chao, borrowing [-] soldiers and horses, and go north to fight Daleke for a decisive battle.But since Daleke participated in the battle in the Central Plains, Zhao Chao put this matter in the Northern Expedition and resolved it together.That said, it's not unreasonable.You Miao analyzed this method and felt that it was a good thing to do so.

On the one hand, it is ahead of time, and on the other hand, it is merged into the Northern Expedition, so it is easy to borrow troops.

You Miao quickly said, "Let's just say that first." Then he gestured to Li Zhifeng with his eyes, and Li Zhifeng nodded without saying anything.

After Zhao Chao drank the glass of wine, he said, "It's over, I'm leaving."

You Miao wanted to stay, but Zhao Chao got up and said: "I have to approve the papers when I go back, and come back when I have time."

You Miao had no choice but to send Zhao Chao out. Since Zhao Chao left, he kept a dark face and said nothing more.

After sending Zhao Chao away, You Miao felt a headache and explained to Li Zhifeng in the courtyard. Li Zhifeng thought for a long time, nodded and said, "That is to say, I can take you away after the Northern Expedition."

"The Northern Expedition won." You Miao corrected: "We can get away now."

Li Zhifeng said happily: "That's right, I didn't expect that."

Seeing Zhao Chao leave, Qiao Rong came into the courtyard, her face turned pale.You Miao and Li Zhifeng stopped talking and looked at Qiao Rong.

"What did he say to you?" Qiao Rong asked.

Knowing that Qiao Rong wanted to ask about Nie Dan, You Miao replied, "My elder brother will release him."

Qiao Rong said: "It's not about your elder brother, nothing else?"

You Miao was taken aback, and asked, "What else?"

There was an announcement from outside, and a palace official came in.

You Miao was puzzled, and the palace servant smiled and said, "General Li, Master You. Congratulations."

"Is there an imperial decree?" You Miao asked in surprise.

Didn't Zhao Chao just leave...why is there another imperial decree.

You Miao said sternly: "You Miao is no longer in the court, and the grassroots You Miao accepts the order."

Gong Ren said: "Your Majesty, please don't be too polite, it is His Majesty's order. Your Majesty has been visiting Moyan Tower for a long time, and knowing that Miss Qiao is not married, he specially sent a young lady here to discuss with You Daren, and wants to use the Queen's gift..."

There was a buzzing in You Miao's head, and the world was spinning, and his eyes went black for a while, and he said in disbelief: "What's going on?!"

"Don't marry." Li Zhifeng flatly rejected the palace man, the palace man's expression changed immediately, and You Miao immediately knew that this was a big deal, how could he say that?

Qiao Rong also turned pale, and hurriedly said: "General Li, don't say that..."

The palace servants were only briefly surprised, then changed their faces, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is joking, Mr. You, it is a great joy for His Majesty to take a fancy to the Qiao family. I have to call you your country's uncle. Your Majesty is here today, too. I wanted to mention this marriage to you personally, but I couldn’t say it for some reason, Mr. You, please see, when will I enter the palace to discuss, and the younger ones can return it.”

You Miao said: "Please report back to Your Majesty, You Miao will definitely go to the palace for an interview on this matter."

The palace servant nodded and left. You Miao was about to be played to death by Zhao Chao. He frowned and said to Qiao Rong, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Qiao Rong looked gloomy, sighed, and didn't speak.

That night, You Miao and Qiao Rong talked all night.

"Go to sleep." Qiao Rong said finally.

"How could I fall asleep?" You Miao said helplessly.

After the emperor asked for the book, it was not good to choose anyone, but he chose the Qiao family.The Qiao family has no power at all, at best they are a declining family in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhao Chao will marry Qiao Rong, it must be because of him You Miao.It's not good to provoke someone, so why did you provoke Zhao Chao?

However, You Miao thought about it again, and she couldn't blame anyone.

After all, Zhao Chao knew what happened in Maocheng.If you want to blame, you can only blame Nie Dan and Qiao Rong for getting too close.So, why did Zhao Chao marry Qiao Rong?Did he even ignore Nie Dan's face?

"Do you like him?" You Miao asked after listening all night.

Qiao Rong didn't answer, but sighed.

You Miao felt a little surprised: "Do you like him?"

"I can't say I like him." Qiao Rong said, "But I don't hate him either. The last time I went to see him, he made it very clear."

"How do you understand the law?" You Miao said.

Qiao Rong said: "In short, don't worry about it, I will marry. I am willing."

You Miao said: "How can we not care? Yu Zi, you are my cousin, and I am your natal family. Yu Gong, once this marriage is concluded, our family will be tied to Zhao Chao's boat, and we will never think about getting off again! "

Qiao Rong said: "The emperor asked me to marry, how can I not marry? If I don't marry, let alone Yangzhou Maocheng, who would dare to marry me in the whole Tianqi?"

You Miao said: "My elder brother can marry you."

Qiao Rong said: "Don't worry, he won't marry me, you men are all virtuous."

You Miao heard some words again, frowned and asked, "What did elder brother tell you?"

Qiao Rong gasped for breath, and said after a long time: "Miaozi, go and rest first, sister is tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

You Miao knows that Zhao Chao's marriage proposal is definitely well known, and it is impossible to decide a lifelong event in a day or two.And Qiao Rong knew this matter well, it was impossible for her to be in a mess until today.Abandoning the emperor's desire to marry Qiao Rong, whether You Miao can agree to this matter is another matter, the key is to ask Zhao Chao why he married her.

Somehow after You Miao returned to Yangzhou, the news spread. Many people came to visit in a few days.Whether Nie Dan is released or not is related to Zhao Chao's attitude towards the previous incident and the reconciliation with the ministers.

Now the court is still tense, and the ministers are not only in danger, but also hate the emperor Zhao Chao to varying degrees.Sooner or later there has to be a solution.The position of being a political adviser is still vacant, and everyone agrees that You Miao will still enter the court.Zhao Chao only had such a confidant left, and it was impossible to let him go home to farm.What's more, Li Zhifeng was still leading the troops, "How is Li Yan doing?" You Miao asked.

"I don't have any contact with us now." Lin Luoyang said helplessly, "Li Yan already has the final say in the Imperial Academy. He also manages the government. If you don't go to the court, I'm afraid it will become like that in Beijing again."

"Impossible." You Miao said.

He naturally knew that Lin Luoyang was trying to provoke him, otherwise, in his capacity, it would be absolutely impossible to say such things, and Zhao Chao must have scruples about Li Yan.Zhao Chao is not like his father Zhao Min, who can hide in the harem to cultivate immortals and make alchemy without going to court.

For Li Yan to be favored, there must be collusion between the monarch and his ministers.Zhao Chao must rely on him.

Now no one knows about this matter, You Miao stayed in Yangzhou not to leave, firstly in order to save Nie Dan's matter, secondly also had to give Zhao Chao an answer.
