Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1922

They already had each other's eyes and ears around them. If he didn't accept the arrangement of the eldest brother, the people around him would also be bribed, and it would be hard to guard against. Instead of doing that, it would be better to openly use the other party's manpower to do some unimportant things, such as helping the North Wing with disaster relief.

It can not only win the favor of the princess, but also conceal his intentions. Cen Che was in a good mood.

He knew that his elder brother came to the North Wing with the intention of capturing Hong Que and threatening him to hand over the gold vein drawings.

The only person who knows that he likes Hongque is Huiying...So, Huiying is Cen Ji's man.

After he figured this out, he gave up the idea of ​​killing Cen Ji. He decided to let Cen Ji go back to Liang State to muddy the waters, so that he could live a more relaxed life.

Maybe once he finds the gold mine, he can go back to Liang State and continue to reap the benefits.

He originally wanted to be a jerk.

Thinking of this, Cen Che regained his usual clear stupidity. He always felt that Princess Beiyi was just putting on airs, and the powerful ones were the civil servant under her and the military commanders around her.

And the one named Shi Chengyi, who is very decisive in doing things without any procrastination.

Cen Che knew what was going on, so he went back to find Xie Huai and told him that the matter had been settled and asked him not to worry.

Xie Huai looked at him deeply, and felt his heart beating faintly between his eyebrows. "Why don't we tell the princess the truth?"

Cen Che glared coldly, "Now the Xie family has the princess's trust, and you sold me out out of the blue. Do you think the princess will still use the Xie family?"

Xie Huai was embarrassed and scared.

Cen Che patted his shoulder and said, "Wait a little longer, let's make some achievements and then confess to the princess. This will give us more bargaining chips, don't you think?"

Xie Huai was really reluctant to give up the current situation. Once he surrendered, not only would he be exposed, but he would also incur the wrath of the princess.

He nodded, determined to seize this disaster opportunity and maximize the light and warmth of the Xie family.

At that time, Anxia received 500,000 taels of silver from Cen Ji, and allocated 100,000 taels to the Xie family to manage, and another 100,000 taels to Lingzhou to subsidize disaster relief.

She sat cross-legged on the warm kang and carefully looked through the lantern festival register.

Qiu Zhiyan also sat cross-legged opposite her, with a small desk between them, and they worked on the accounts together.

The two of them talked to each other from time to time, reducing and adjusting every expense. All the fancy and unnecessary expenses were cut.

Every penny was spent wisely, and some opera troupes were even dismissed and replaced with more porridge stalls.

Only when you are full can you listen to music. Shi Anxia wanted to let all the people eat warm thick porridge during the New Year, and they could queue up to get it if they wanted.

Qiu Zhiyan suddenly spoke up, "It is a lucky thing to be a commoner in my cousin's fiefdom."

In fact, what he wanted to say was that women are as good as men, and if his cousin became emperor, the people of the Northern Wing would be the luckiest.

But Qiu Zhiyan didn't dare to say such outrageous words and could only keep it in his heart.

And he suddenly remembered that his mother and cousin were against each other in their early years, and everything went wrong.

Since he made up his mind to join his cousin's camp, everything went smoothly. He entered Yunqi Academy, won the second place in the imperial examination and entered the official career, and then followed her to Lingzhou.

When Qiu Zhiyan first started doing his job, he was a little nervous, fearing that he would make a mistake, and also afraid that he would embarrass his cousin and make people think that he got the job through the backdoor.

His cousin comforted him, "Just go for it. If you can't make up your mind, let's discuss it together."

Although she said it was a discussion, she actually considered his proposal seriously, made slight modifications, and finally did it his way.

After a long time, Qiu Zhiyan became confident and felt that he could do it on his own and had endless energy.
