Winner Takes All

Shen Zhuo looked like he was coaxing a petulant child.

But Yu Niaoniao was not a child.

She was not throwing a tantrum.

She enunciated each word. "I don't understand."

Shen Zhuo sat down in front of her and smiled. "What don't you understand?"

Yu Niaoniao said, "Why did Prince Jia change sides on the spot? And why did a few cabinet ministers help you refer to a deer as a horse?"

There were no outsiders here. Shen Zhuo did not hide anything and generously gave an answer.

"Father gave Prince Jia an imperial edict and allocated all the areas north of the river to him. As long as he accepted the imperial edict, he would be able to obtain half of the Dayan Dynasty."

Yu Niaoniao's lips twitched. "I see. What about those old cabinet ministers?"

Shen Zhuo said, "Gave them what they wanted. If they want money, we'll give it to them. If they want power, we'll give it to them."
