Emperor Wen pressed the thoughts in his heart and raised his hand to open another letterhead.

It was a coincidence that the two sons who were away wrote back to the imperial capital at the same time, and Emperor Wen thought faintly in his heart, could it be that both of them missed home? Or did he really get old, and when he saw the letterhead sent back, he couldn't help but miss his son.

In fact, he will release the two of them, not all because the cause of the prince's death is unknown, to give an explanation to the world, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to see the brother cannibalism happen again and again, since both of them are interested in the throne, they will fight for it in the open, so as not to always make a stumbling block behind his back, but embarrassing him as a father.

Emperor Wen thought as he opened the letterhead in his hand.

As soon as he read the first line, the thoughts that lingered in Emperor Wen's chest were suddenly dissipated by this letter.

Emperor Wen's cold eyes narrowed, the fourth child is really good!

He looked at the letterhead in his hand, and slammed the teacup he was holding to the ground.

Which Taifu taught him such a false accusation? This is all out of the clouds, and it will not stop, do you have to put the third child to death!

He couldn't help frowning, and shouted "Zhao Yuande" in a deep voice.

Zhao Yuande hurriedly responded: "The slave is here, what does the emperor command?"

Emperor Wen's body was filled with a cold aura, and there was frost in his eyes: "Passing on Sun Zhihuan." ”

Zhao Yuande didn't know where Emperor Wen's anger came from, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly went down to announce people.

Since the death of Liang Xingyong, the post of the head of the household department has been vacant, and Sun Zhihuan was originally the left servant of the household department, and later served as an interview envoy, and his talent in managing the flood was very outstanding.

Fortunately, Sun Zhihuan was on duty in the palace today, and at this time he was in the room to discuss affairs with the elders of the cabinets, and when he heard the emperor summoning him, he hurriedly straightened his clothes and went to the Qianyuan Hall with the inner servants who passed the decree.

"Jiangnan's taxes haven't been collected yet?" Emperor Wen called him over and asked him directly about his official business.

Sun Zhihuan nodded, "Last year, the taxes in Jiangnan were affected by the floods in Fujian, many fields were not well harvested, and some of the rice and grain on the top were not enough, and the ministers were also having a headache these days, and the fief of the four princes happened to be put in Jiangnan by the emperor. ”

The taxes on the fiefdom are usually handled by the vassal kings, and Emperor Wen gave the richest Jiangnan to the four princes, so this year's taxes in Jiangnan will be taken over by the four princes, and Sun Zhihuan has not had much contact with the four princes, and he is also having a headache about how to collect taxes.

Unexpectedly, the emperor would ask about it.

Emperor Wen muttered: "In this case, then I will order you to pay the same taxes last year and this year as Jiangnan within a month, and since the fief belongs to the fourth child, I will hand over this matter to the fourth child." ”

Sun Zhihuan was stunned, in this way, it means that the taxes of the four princes in the first year of the fiefdom will be all paid!

He was surprised in his heart, but he also felt reasonable, after all, Jiangnan was rich, and more than a year less was nothing, but this should not be too good news for the fourth prince.

And when the news reached Chu Shaohan's ears, he was stunned.

He obviously wrote to his father, and the third evil seed colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty to track down the secrets of more than ten years ago, so that his father knew that the third brother was obsessed with the previous dynasty, why did his father not take any action, but he took away all the taxes he deserved?

He looked at the officials who came from the clouds, and he was angry.

If you want to cultivate your own power in Jiangnan, how can you do it without money? Father, this is going to cut off his financial route for this year!

He gritted his teeth with hatred, but in the end he was helpless, so he had to say to the little official in a deep voice: "Since you are in such a hurry, it will be hard for you." ”

Where did the little official dare to speak bitterly in front of him, and said with a smile: "The minister is just running an errand, and it is the fourth prince who works hard!"

Hmph! Chu Shaohan sneered in his heart, he naturally worked hard, he understood that his father's love for that evil seed was far beyond that of others, and it was no wonder that the prince would behave so irrationally.

Squinting his eyes and thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Then you will follow this king to collect taxes tomorrow." ”

Let you also take a look at how disadvantaged my prince is in Jiangnan, go back and tell my father well, and the father of the province will know how to exploit me!

……

"Twenty miles further is Youzhou City," the woodcutter carrying the firewood pointed to the road with a smile, "There is everything in Youzhou City, you can buy anything you want." ”

The closer Xu is to the Northland, the more simple the people become, and the people they meet along the way are all smiling and very kind.

Zhang Quanshun thanked him with a smile, turned back to Chu Shaoyuan and said, "Master, let's hurry up again, and we will be able to get to the city soon." ”

Chu Shaoyuan frowned and was a little absent-minded, the more he entered the Northland, the more he felt that something was not quite right, it was clearly supposed to be a prosperous scene, but it was desolate everywhere, and even some of the larger towns were about to be gone.

He jumped off his horse, got into the carriage, and put it among the horses that pulled it.

Chanyi and Yan Dai in the car were taking care of Jiang Yaya and Mrs. Yan, who were sick when they stayed in Qingzhou before, Jiang Yaya didn't suffer much from the wind and cold, they didn't take it seriously, and they continued to hurry after taking a few doses of medicine, but later it became more and more serious, Chanyi felt that it was not very good, but the medicinal materials brought were all life-saving medicinal materials, and they were not very effective for these minor illnesses and pains such as wind and cold.

Originally, I planned to buy some medicinal herbs when I got to the next town, but who knew that after two days of hurrying, I couldn't see a town except for the post station, and most of the people in the village were lonely and widowed old people, not to mention medicinal materials, even food was scarce.

And at this time, Mrs. Yan also contracted this cold, and she was even more sick than Jiang Yaya.

Chanyi was in a hurry, so she could only hurry away, in order to be able to buy medicinal herbs in the town and give them to the two of them.

Chu Shaoyuan didn't worry about them, so he simply abandoned the horse and sat in the car with them, seeing Chanyi frowning, looking anxious, he comforted him repeatedly: "Don't worry, you can reach Youzhou City after walking for a while, the master left a letter, saying that he has arrived in western Sichuan, let's buy some medicine in the town first, and then meet the master after arriving in Sichuangui." ”

There was a strong anxiety on Chanyi's face: "The important thing is my grandmother, she is old and in poor health, so I am afraid that I will not be able to endure such a long journey." ”

Chu Shaoyuan wanted to hug her very much, but after all, it was not good to be too presumptuous in front of people, so he had to comfort softly: "Hold on a little longer, and it will be good to get to the city." ”

The worry in Chanyi's eyebrows almost overflowed, I hope so.

The carriage went all the way, the wind in autumn was a little cool, and it was about to approach the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because of the presentation of the token of the palace, so all the way into the city, although Youzhou City is not as prosperous as the south, but in the end it is a main city, everything in the city is very orderly.

And as soon as his token was presented, Qiao Zheng, the governor of Youzhou, happened to be patrolling the city gate, and immediately took people to his mansion.

Mrs. Qiao was even more enthusiastic, and after Chanyi and her party entered the mansion, they vacated the best courtyard in the mansion for them to live in, and after knowing that Mrs. Yan and Jiang Yaya were sick, they tried their best to ask for a doctor.

Xu is a famous doctor, but it was difficult to invite, and he waited for an hour before the doctor came in with a medicine box. The doctor was an old man who was close to his sixtieth birthday, with a goatee, white hair and beard, and very clear eyes.

He took the pulse and said with a smile: "It's just a cold, these days and a lot of work, can't rest well will become more and more serious, don't tight, take three or five doses, and then rest for ten days and a half to get better, especially the old lady is old, to raise." ”

In other words, you can't be in such a hurry.

Chanyi wrote them down one by one, "I said that my grandmother is old, for fear that she will hurt her body in such a hurry, and sure enough, it seems that she still has to take care of herself." She sighed and went to get the money to thank the doctor.

Mrs. Qiao is a careful person, and she has paid the doctor's consultation fee early, so the old doctor hurriedly excused herself: "Mrs. Qiao has already paid the consultation fee, you don't have to be so polite, you remember to take two doses before breakfast and dinner, the old lady's illness is milder, the little lady's illness is serious, you need to use a few more doses of medicine to get better, I will come to see it after three or two days of eating." ”

Chanyi nodded and thanked Mrs. Qiao: "In the end, it is inconvenient to go out, otherwise such a wind and cold should have been cured a long time ago, where can it be so serious." ”

Mrs. Qiao said: "I just want this illness to come urgently, so I will stay in Youzhou City for a few more days, and it is not too late to hurry after the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

Chanyi smiled bitterly: "Now I can't go if I want to, but I am a little anxious on the other side, and this disease is menacing, which catches people off guard." ”

Mrs. Qiao settled the left and right, and said with a smile when she heard Chanyi's words: "Maybe this is my fate with you, you think, this day in the South China Sea, you live in Yunfu City, but you got sick when passing through Youzhou, which means that God is also leaving you to live in Youzhou for a longer time." ”

Mrs. Joe is witty and well-informed, and can always tell the story perfectly.

Chan Yi smiled faintly, this is the benefit of power, even if Chu Shaoyuan is down, he is still a prince in the end, as long as his identity is revealed, there are as many people as there are people who are rushing to tie up like a carp crossing the river.

At night, Mrs. Yan and Jiang Yaya took medicine, and finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

Chanyi stayed by Mrs. Yan's side and nudged Yan Dai: "You can also go to sleep, just let the maid guard at night, your health is not good, don't look back Grandmother, but you have fallen." ”

Yan Dai's eyes were flushed red, and she also knew her body, so she nodded without hesitation: "Sister-in-law should also be settled earlier." ”

Chanyi smiled and nodded, her eyes fell on Mrs. Yan, and the worry became more and more intense.
