After all, it was a small-scale draft, and Emperor Yuanwu's final selection was just a free time to take a look. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The number of people was small, and Emperor Yuanwu chose quickly, and only ordered a dozen or so gorgeous women, among them, folk women and noble women in the capital accounted for half of each.

The rest of the people are almost all nobles from the capital.

Emperor Yuanwu bowed his head with satisfaction and instructed the concubine: "These people, you look at their family backgrounds, and then consider giving them to King Qi." ”

The concubine said with a smile: "Then the concubine will draw up an arrangement, and then give His Majesty a look." ”

Emperor Yuanwu nodded, pondered for a while, and then arranged the residence of the new concubine he ordered, and smiled at the concubine: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The concubine shook her head gently: "Your Majesty is busy with important matters, and the concubines can't share your worries for Your Majesty, so you can only worry about these miscellaneous things for Your Majesty." It's all what a concubine should do, and he shouldn't say 'hard' to His Majesty. ”

Emperor Yuan Wu patted her hand, and the mood that had been depressed since the brothel murder case was solved was finally better.

In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest arrived.

In just two months, the pattern of the Great Wei Dynasty has undergone some changes.

Although they are all inconspicuous small changes, and they have been slowly changing in a subtle way, they can't attract too much attention.

But there are always a few bright-eyed people who have begun to speculate about this treacherous change.

King Cen, who has some upward momentum, has suffered a lot of blows recently.

First of all, he was inexplicably reprimanded twice by Emperor Yuanwu in the court, and then the drawing of the loom mechanism and the decomposition structure diagram in his hand were ordered by Emperor Yuanwu to be handed over to the Department of Internal Affairs, and in the name of "promoting the people", he was forbidden to sell finished looms again.

Immediately afterwards, out of nowhere, there was a rumor that Princess Cen abused the maid in the palace to death, and the concubine Niangniang obeyed the holy order and sent the eunuch out of the palace to the Cen Palace, and carried out a verbal "education" to Princess Cen, and this matter also became the talk of the gathering of the upper concubines.

At the same time that King Cen began to weaken, King Rui also fell a little silent.

When the brothel murder case was about to become an unsolved case, it was solved by King Rui, which greatly increased the prestige of King Rui.

Ke Rui Wang did not rise in strength because of this, and then did a few more big errands, but he got a lot of old and piled up chores to do from Emperor Yuanwu, mostly some statistical things, the archives on the table piled up into a mountain, waiting for him to deal with urgently, King Rui alone could not see it at all, but Emperor Yuanwu wanted him to complete it as soon as possible, and everything required to see King Rui's annotation.

King Rui had no choice but to summon his trusted staff and strategists, plus the help of several imperial brothers such as the Nine Emperor Princes, and strive to complete this time-consuming and labor-intensive mess as soon as possible.

When King Cen and King Rui were all weak, King Qi and King Li began to be a little nervous, and they moved frequently.

But the result?

These two didn't see how powerful they were, but the prince who "kept to himself" during this time came back.

Before, the courtiers were secretly speculating, thinking that the prince had lost his sacred heart, but recently, Emperor Yuanwu's actions faintly suppressed King Cen and King Rui to support the prince.

The weaving plan handed over by King Cen went to the Department of Internal Affairs, which has always been the territory of the prince of the East Palace. Emperor Yuanwu's move is hardly said to be sending a righteous and bright financial path to the crown prince.

And King Rui is busy with chores, and it is somewhat difficult to take care of the overall control of the household department. The prince's power in the household department has some momentum.

The secret game between the princes and princes is even more confusing.

By the time King Rui finished reviewing the files of those innocuous miscellaneous matters and forming a complete summary to present to Emperor Yuanwu, the autumn harvest had already passed.

The prince's power in the household department has now been regained, and even this year's new grain unified verification and tax collection books are all in the hands of the prince.

Liu Tong was so angry that he almost dropped the cup in his hand, but he didn't fall in the end, he squeezed it tightly in his hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand faintly appeared: "How can this be!" ”

The Twelfth Prince's face was clear, and he looked at King Rui and said, "Father and Emperor are deliberately tossing these things during this time, stumbling on the Fifth Emperor Brother, so as to buy time for the Crown Prince." ”

Rui Wang nodded lightly.

"Then the fifth brother, ...... you" Liu Tong frowned deeply, and looked at King Rui with some concern.

King Rui smiled: "What are you afraid of?" I was worried about whether the rest of the people and the backward people were all dedicated to the country after the liquidation of the household department, and I was still thinking about how to test one or two...... Now I can take advantage of the prince's solicitation to see it clearly. ”

Liu Tong paused: "What does the fifth brother mean...... To test their loyalty by whether they defected to the crown prince? ”

"That's not what I said." King Rui said with a smile: "Those who can be recruited by the prince's verbal interests do not necessarily mean that they are not for the country." It's just that, after all, the household department is a place where the money and grain of the whole Great Wei are passed, and if they are greedy for money or have greed in their hearts, the household department will not be able to stay. ”

Liu Tong bowed his head lightly, and asked King Rui again: "What are the plans of the fifth brother?" ”

King Rui took a sip of tea and took a sip gently: "I'm not busy, since my father revealed that he wants to cut my power and not let me do things, I might as well take advantage of this time to rest and rest, and save my eyes." ”

He looked at Liu Tong and the Twelve Princes: "It just so happens that you have also been busy with me for this period of time, and my body is afraid that I can't bear it." Let's go back and rest first, let your five sisters-in-law hold a small banquet in two days, and let's get together again and gossip. ”

Liu Tong and the Twelve Princes should be.

Liu Tong and the Twelve Princes parted ways and returned to the house in front of the Ruiwang Mansion, Chang Runzhi heard that Liu Tong was back, so he got up with a big belly to greet him, and the towels and warm water were properly prepared.

Liu Tong smiled and hugged her, and asked with concern, "It's okay today." ”

"It's good." Chang Runzhi nodded, and when he saw Liu Tong with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but smile: "Are you in a good mood today?" ”

Liu Tong bowed: "The fifth brother's errand has been handed over, and I have to take a break recently, so I can also take a break." ”

Chang Runzhi handed Liu Tong a handkerchief, and when he heard the words, he said: "The case was solved before, and it was said that King Rui and you could take a break, but not only did it not stop, but you were even busier." ”

Liu Tong said helplessly: "The previous situation was different...... But not this time, don't worry. ”

Chang Runzhi was happy, and after Liu Tongjing came over, he pulled him and said, "Just rest if you can, you have been busy and lost weight during this time, I feel distressed...... Besides, you haven't been with me for a long time. ”

Liu Tong chuckled, hugged Chang Runzhi's waist, let her borrow strength on herself, and asked her with a smile: "Do you miss me?" ”

"Hmm......" Chang Runzhi replied in a low voice, leaned on him, and said softly: "You are not around, I always feel that the house is empty." ”

Liu Tong suddenly smiled: "I also said that my house is too small, you say that...... What if we change the big house in the future? ”

"Then I won't change it." Chang Runzhi said with a smile.

Liu Tong scratched Chang Runzhi's nose, and didn't say to change it or say no.

He felt sorry for not being able to accompany Chang Runzhi during this time, and after returning to the house to rest for a day, he happened to hear Chang Runzhi's rough mother-in-law who married him say that the princess rarely went back to her parents' house after she was pregnant, and the nine princes rarely took the princess back to the door, so he took the opportunity to take Chang Runzhi back to his parents' house with great interest.
