Chapter 114: You've Been Referenced
Shen Rong raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on Gu Qingzi's body, "I didn't know that you had such a high opinion of my face." ”
He brushed it off, and he didn't pay so much attention to his appearance, the key is to be strong.
"He's good, though. ”
Mi Chun echoed excitedly, "Shen Xiang is really capable, the slave maid inquired several times, but I didn't hear anyone who dared to be dissatisfied with Shen Xiang." ”
Shen Rong replied without thinking, "Oh, that's because those who have opinions don't end well." ”
Michun was shocked again.
Gu Qingzi seemed to have an epiphany, "I understand, he can grow from a small Hanlin to a prime minister in just ten years, where is a simple character? There is no thunder means, and it is estimated that he does not know how many times he has died at the hands of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. ”
Shen Rong looked at her with admiration, "You can see it, don't you think such a person is terrible?"
"Of course it's scary. Gu Qingzi admitted calmly, "But how can the position of prime minister be so easy to sit on, either you die or I die." And if you want to survive, you can only let the other party die. ”
Shen Rong didn't speak, but a smile spread across his face.
Gu Qingzi reacted in hindsight that the person in front of her was saying 'bad things' about the current prime minister.
“…… Senior brother, you should be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and when you open your mouth, you will say that the powerful minister is cruel, if these words reach his ears, you estimate that he is the one who was killed. ”
For the sake of her senior brother, the fifth princess of the dynasty broke her heart.
Mi Chun also dutifully reminded again, "My master's words are right, your lord, you are still wise to protect yourself, don't be too upright." After speaking, her gaze looked back and forth on his white jade face several times, and finally smacked her lips, "...... Eh, Shen Xiang's face is really unparalleled in the world. ”
Shen Rong: "......"
After saying this, he did not continue to discuss the appearance of the prime minister of the dynasty.
After a while, there was a soft knock on the door outside, and you pushed the door in.
"Master, the soup has been prepared in the small kitchen, and I am asking if I want to send it over now. ”
Shen Rong nodded.
If you have a noble, you have to quit, and when you see spring, you have to go over and get it together.
Regarding the fact that his senior brother actually had a small kitchen near the political affairs hall, Gu Qingzi was no longer surprised. He was young, but he had his own secret guard, and he was always busy until midnight, so it was not so unusual for him to bring a little cook over to cook on the fire.
She also served delicious dishes every night, what pastries and soups, what dishes and desserts, everything tasted good.
She also transitioned from the initial twisting to the habitual.
There were only the two of them left in the room, and Gu Qingzi was reading under the lamp.
Shen Rong was also reading the fold at the other end, and the pen and ink in his hand were very neat. When I took another fold from the side, it was silent for a while.
"Is Qingyang City your fiefdom?" the man raised his eyebrows, "I remember that you have a title. ”
Gu Qingzi's pen is a stroke, and a bold apostrophe jumps on the paper.
…… She didn't expect that there would be people who remembered her as a princess with a title, and she didn't expect that this person would be a handsome courtier sitting in front of her and dealing with official documents.
She didn't speak for a long time, and Shen Rong thought that she didn't remember these things because of her illness in those years.
His eyes were deep, his voice was steady, and he spoke of what he knew.
"Your title is Changning, which was sealed by the emperor. Probably because you were too young at the time, you didn't remember many things. Your fiefdom is located in the southeastern corner of our country, south to Qingyang City, north to Ningzhou County, and west to Hexiang Township; the soil is fertile, the rain is abundant, but it is a very rich land of fish and rice, and even the fruits grow very well. To the east, you can face the sea and eat a lot of fresh seafood. He paused for a moment and let out a smile, "Such a good place is a fief for you, which shows that the emperor really loved you and treated you as an eyeball." ”
Gu Qingzi was also very emotional.
The Emperor Ancestor was indeed extremely fond of her, as can be seen from the fact that he deliberately settled a Michun beside her holding a gold medal for avoiding death.
was so favored back then, but now it is such a miserable situation, and I can't help but sigh in my heart.
She couldn't laugh a little, so she pretended not to care and asked, "Why did Senior Brother suddenly talk about this?"
Shen Rong saw her unhappiness, and didn't talk much, "Liu Shaoyan, the prefect of Qingyang, handed over a fold and came to you to participate in a copy, saying that the weather has been bad in the past few years, and the waterlogging and drought have caused the harvest to be halved, and the people can only barely survive." However, the excesses and miscellaneous taxes are heavier than before, causing the people to suffer unspeakably. ”
Gu Qingzi's face became more and more ugly, and she didn't know what to say.
…… She really didn't know this, not to mention that although the fief was hers, in fact, it was Luo Guifei who was in charge.
It must be this man who is insatiable and exploits her fiefdom at will, making her people's lives miserable.
Thinking like this, Gu Qingzi couldn't help but scratch his fingers blue.
Shen Rong's gaze turned back and forth on the fold again before raising his deep eyes, "Liu Shaoyan said that he began to write letters asking for appropriate tax reductions and exemptions two years ago, but he has not heard from him again and again. At the end of the letter, he also said that if this problem is not solved, he will go to Beijing with his bags on his back to ask to see the emperor. ”
A very slender hand tapped lightly on the edge of the table, "What do you think?"
Gu Qingzi only felt that her face was hot.
She naturally hopes that her fief will have a good harvest every year, smooth and prosperous, and live a prosperous and happy life.
But she can't do it now.
She was silent for a long time, and the man across from her was silent for a long time. She didn't have to look up to feel the man's gaze on her.
Gu Qingzi thought about it, and had to answer truthfully, "...... Don't hide it from my brother, although I have a fief, I don't have the jurisdiction of a fief for the time being; when I was sick, Concubine Luo took advantage of the danger of others and took away my fief. Now, not only do I not know the situation on the other side of the fiefdom, but I don't even know about the several times that Liu Shaoyan mentioned in the excerpt, I think someone secretly blocked the news. ”
Who this person is, Gu Qingzi can guess it with her eyes closed.
Except for Luo Guifei, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could do such a thing.
She originally thought that if she told such a truth, she estimated that she would be nagged by this poisonous senior brother. Without thinking about it, he just hummed softly and asked her very seriously, "What are your plans?"
Gu Qingzi was silent, not knowing how to answer for a while.
If you have any plans, you will naturally take back the fiefdom! Before you take it back, no matter how much you think about it, it will be in vain.
…… But Concubine Luo is not a good person, where is it so simple to regain the fief?
Shen Rong looked at her, "Actually, it's not as difficult as you think." ”
The originally dim girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
