The emperor smiled: "Even if this is the case, Yu'er doesn't have to worry about it, Ming boy is lucky, this time he went out, not only did he run an errand, but also let him hit a gold mine." I have already sent someone to investigate, if the gold mine is rich enough, hahaha, at least the food and grass in the army will not be worried. ”

The emperor did not take his eyes off the prince's face while speaking, he had already given him one last chance, but unfortunately, this good son was determined to occupy the gold mine privately!

Sure enough, the prince, who has always been the best at concealment, instantly changed his face: "Yes...... Really?"

How could it be possible for the crown prince to turn over the river and the sea at this moment? Could it be that his father was cheating him again? This father's thoughts and methods have always been unfathomable. He immediately came back to his senses after a moment of gaffe, and looked surprised: "Cousin Ming really found the gold mine? Where is it? Cousin Ming, you won't really be so lucky to see the gold nuggets exposed, right?"

Pan Jiaming didn't seem to hear the irony in the prince's words, and said with a smile: "How can there be such a good thing?" But Uncle Zhuang has followed his father to mine gold since he was a child, and he is not familiar with the characteristics of the mine. "He was ordered to investigate the gold mines, and he was naturally prepared.

The prince is really beating a drum in his heart now, isn't he?

The queen was genuinely surprised: "Ming'er, is this true? Did you really help the emperor find a gold mine?" No wonder the emperor just said that this kid had made a great contribution.

The emperor laughed: "I have a golden mouth, can there be a fake? Ming boy, you go back to the house to meet your grandmother first." Starting tomorrow, you will go to the Sixth Department to study, starting with the Household Department, which happens to be in charge of the Baieling Gold Mine and the Xishan Racecourse. ”

Pan Jiaming had a bitter face: "Your Majesty, are you a reward or a punishment for me?"

The queen "snapped" and slapped him on the right arm: "What do you say, such a big person is not in shape!" Pan Jiaming will take charge of the British government in the future, the future of the Pan family is on his shoulders, the emperor is willing to hone him and reuse him, the queen is naturally happy.

Of course, Pan Jiaming knew that the emperor had already spoken, and there was absolutely no reason to take it back, and this was a plan that the emperor had mentioned many times earlier. Then he retreated and left, and when he turned around, he glanced at the prince who was like being struck by lightning, and sighed secretly. He has always known that the emperor does not like the prince, but according to the emperor's temperament, as long as the prince does his duty, since he is established, he will not be abolished lightly, after all, there is already a abolished prince in front of him, isn't it? But the prince is so eager to plan, does he feel that the emperor is physically tough, and he is worried about the long nights and dreams? How can the emperor not be cold?

How did Pan Jiaming know about Baieling? How did he discover that there was a gold mine in Baieling? Impossible! How much manpower and financial resources did he spend and two years to determine that the gold mine was in Baieling, and Pan Jiaming took two servants and a coachman to Los Angeles in just ten days and half a month, and he could find Baieling? Few people in the entire Los Angeles still knew the name of Baieling, okay? Not to mention that there was still Zhong Kai in Luocheng, and they were holding back Pan Jiaming's attention? What the hell is going on? What is he going to do now? Does my father know that it was his people who bought Bai'e Ling?

"What's the matter, Yu'er," the emperor took a sip of the tea handed over by Yi Luo, "Are you overjoyed?"

"I didn't ...... No," the prince replied with a smile, "Erchen just thinks that Cousin Ming's luck is too good, Erchen has put so much effort into it, and he didn't even see the shadow of the gold mine, he bumped into it so easily, will it ...... Could it be a mistake?"

"Really?" said the emperor in a cold voice, "I will know when the people who probe come back, they have set off early now, and they have also brought my will to the prefect of Luozhou, and there will be definite news back in a few days." ”

The coldness in the emperor's tone made the prince shiver involuntarily, and he came back from his senses completely: "Yes, the son has congratulated his father in advance! If it is really a rich gold mine, it is really the blessing of my father and the emperor, and the blessing of my great Ying." After the father and the queen mother, the sons and daughters retired, and the mother concubine will go to Jueming Temple tomorrow to burn incense and pick up the emperor's grandmother back, and the sons and daughters are also ready to accompany them, one to pray for the father and the queen mother, and the other to protect the emperor's grandmother and mother. "There are too many eyeliners in the palace, he needs to go out and make some arrangements, first of all, the second master of Baieling must be replaced quickly, in case he is recognized by the people who go to the capital, it will be very troublesome. Although there are not many people who know that person, who knows who the emperor will send?

Jueming Temple is a royal temple, and in a royal summer resort in the north of the capital, the carriage journey also takes five or six days. Since the death of the first emperor, the empress dowager will go to the temple every year to live in the temple for a few days before the first emperor's birthday sacrifice day, and pray for the emperor and the great ying. The crown prince's biological mother, Qi Guifei, is the niece of the queen mother, and her affection with the queen mother is naturally a little closer than that of other concubines, including the queen. Fortunately, the emperor's feelings for the queen are extraordinary, otherwise such a "sister" with the support of the queen mother is in front of her, and the queen's life will not be easy.

The emperor waved his hand: "Go, I am also going to let you pick up your imperial grandmother on my behalf." "There are some things that should be thoroughly investigated, such as the accident in the hunting grounds, and the fact that the deposed prince who was imprisoned in the cold palace three months ago was almost poisoned. Originally, I thought that the successive abolition of the prince would not be good for the stability of the society, and it would easily cause riots in the hearts of the people, but now it seems that if I turn a blind eye and close my eyes, I am afraid that I will ...... The social and people's hearts have become even more unstable.

The queen sat silently and watched the interaction between the father and son, she felt that something was wrong with the prince today, and now looking at the emperor's expression and words, she was even more sure that something should have happened. The queen has no children of her own, and basically treats all princes and princesses equally, at least as everyone seems to be. The emperor has more than once built yì She chose a prince who was destined to put it in her name, but she politely declined, only saying that the emperor's children were all her children, and it made no difference whether she put it in her name or not. She knew that the Queen Mother had always wanted the second prince (not the crown prince at that time) or the fifth prince from Concubine Qi Guifei to pass under her name and obtain the status of a concubine.

However, a few days ago, she moved her mind and wanted to put the third princess Ouyang Chun, who grew up in Kunhe Palace since she was a child, under her name, the child's biological mother Yu Concubine was bleeding heavily during childbirth, and the emperor saw that the baby looked like her, so he asked people to bring Kunhe Palace, saying that it was for her to be her companion. Princess Chun moved to Chunhe Hall years ago, but she often came to Kunhe Palace to accompany her to eat or have fun, she was very well-behaved and filial, and she also loved her little niece Pan Shuling.
