Chapter 334: The Triangle Situation

"I have a concubine, you have a concubine, I have the Duke of Yuguo, and you have a civil and military minister in the court. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info I see you as an adversary, and you treat me as a mortal enemy. Fifth Emperor Brother, I thought you were my only opponent, and the crown prince, although he has the support of the Queen Mother, his father doesn't like him very much after all, so it's not a problem. The third prince paused for a moment, "But we all seem to be wrong, in the eyes of my father, the crown prince is the crown prince." Have you ever wondered why he didn't let any of us get the power of the Bai family? ā€

The fifth prince kept an eye on it. "Not for General Bai?"

"At this time, you are still playing with me, Fifth Emperor Brother, no wonder everyone says that you are a poisonous snake. But I have sincerity, my father is trying to contain us and build momentum for the crown prince. He pushed the Shangguan family to the side of the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother to support the crown prince, ostensibly making discord with the Queen Mother, but in fact, he had a plan in his heart! ā€

"The three emperor brothers can't help but think too much, the discord between the father and the queen mother is not a matter of one day. On the contrary, I don't think it's necessarily for the prince. ā€

"The crown prince has been a prince for many years without merit, and he has made many mistakes without heirs. He is ambitious and talented, his father has punished him many times but has never abolished him, and now he is seriously ill but still lets him be in charge of the government, do you say that his father will really abolish the prince? ā€

Hearing him say this, the five princes' hearts also began to waver. Over the years, he has been most afraid of the three princes, the two have been fighting openly and secretly for so long, and they have both lost a lot of strength. If this is to pave the way for the crown prince to make them infighting...... "So what does the imperial brother mean?" ā€

"Now the crown prince is our biggest enemy, don't be confused."

The third prince patted him on the shoulder and swaggered away.

"Your Highness, don't believe his words, he secretly asked people to eradicate our people, this is to use us as gunmen against the prince!"

"I know, but what he's saying isn't without reason." The fifth prince touched the white jade wrench in his hand, "How many people did he kill me, I will let him return it twice!" Let King Qin's army do it, and first grab the fiefs of the feudal kings in Beijing. ā€

"Yes!"

The government is tight, and so are the finances.

Shangguan Qingyun is now in a bad debt, looking at the account books, more than a dozen shops are actually losing money. This has never been the case before, but there is no problem in the books.

"What's going on? You say! Shangguan Qingyun said angrily to the dozen or so big shopkeepers, "In addition to the shops that Ruyi manages, there are a few others, and the rest have been losing money for several months in a row, how do you do business?!" ā€

"Master, we don't know what the situation is, these days there is either a problem with the goods in the shop or a delay in delivery, and we can't explain to the guests at all."

"And our price inventory seems to be well known to the other party, and the price is very low, and there is basically no profit."

"Recently, a few new commercial houses have emerged to purchase on a large scale, and they don't seem to care about silver at all, and the price of the bank has been inflated, and the cost of our goods has more than doubled."

"You won't figure it out, who is the other party, have you checked it? Isn't it the Yun family?! ā€

Shangguan Ruyi lowered his head before talking. "Let Zezhi go and check, it seems to be a group of people outside the gate, their posture is not good, and the Yun family has also suffered a lot of impact."

"Outside the gate, how can there be people outside at this time." Shangguan Qingyun immediately became vigilant, although he was not a good person, he still had to be external, "Do you have any news about them?" ā€

"My daughter didn't dare to let her guard down, and she kept sending people to keep an eye on their news." Shangguan Ruyi was sure that Shangguan Qingyun would definitely report this matter, "I have also read the accounts of several big shopkeepers, and there is indeed no problem." These days, homeless people and bandits are rampant and robbing, in order to ensure the safety of goods, we have increased the number of escorts. In addition, the price of some people starting from the obstruction is inflated, and it is reasonable for everyone to cut back on food and clothing, and it is reasonable that they cannot make ends meet. ā€

"You're speaking for them?!" Shangguan Qingyun was dissatisfied.

Shangguan Ruyi still looked calm. "My daughter is telling the truth, and now my daughter has temporarily closed some of the shops that are not profitable in her hands and reduced the number of people, so that she can keep the accounts level."

"Miss, this is a good idea, our shops are basically not patronized, and someone needs to take care of them to prevent trouble, which is really a waste of cost."

"I didn't expect that there would be no need for more manpower."

Several big shopkeepers applauded, and the mouth suddenly opened.

"Well, you're right, Ruyi, you're doing the right thing. You can count the shops that are making a net profit now, Ruyi, you and I come in. ā€

Shangguan Qingyun looked at the woman in front of her carefully, she was indeed not young in terms of age, but she couldn't find a thorn in terms of appearance. "Ruyi, you're not too young this year."

"My daughter is twenty-one."

Twenty-one, it's all so big? Shangguan Qingyun was suddenly shocked, he had indeed ignored this daughter for too long. "Your father has neglected you for many years because of your mother. Now that your sister is gone, and your two younger brothers are not in the climate, this family relies on your father and your eldest sister to support them. ā€

"But your eldest sister has been in the palace for many years, although she has been blessed by the Queen Mother, she has never given birth to a boy and a girl."

"The eldest sister and father support His Royal Highness the Prince, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherits the unification, the eldest sister is the half-mother, and my Shangguan family is still honored." Shangguan Ruyi was not fooled.

Shangguan Qingyun sneered. "Now the prince needs the financial resources of our Shangguan family and the support of Concubine Jing, which is why he loves my Shangguan family so much. But if Concubine Jing Niangniang and him are not biological mother and son when they ascend the throne in the future, how will he care about us? ā€

"After thinking about it, Dad thinks that there is only one way now, are you willing to marry His Royal Highness the Prince?" Shangguan Qingyun had already calculated, "Although your biological mother is humble and old, with the current status of my Shangguan family, you can also sit firmly in the position of the crown prince and concubine." Passing you into your mother's name will be counted as making amends to your father over the years. ā€

Adoptive? How rare is she to be the daughter of that murderer poisonous woman? Shangguan Qingyun really thinks beautifully! If Shangguan Liuli was still alive, this "beauty difference" would never be her turn, and now you want to use it to win her over?

Seeing that she was silent, thinking that she was unwilling, Shangguan Qingyun was immediately unhappy. "Ruyi, you think clearly, this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future Son of Heaven, and not anyone can climb high. And if you agree, you are the upright lady of the Shangguan family, and you will inherit such a big family business after a hundred years. ā€

"It's not that my daughter is unwilling, but there are still two younger brothers, and my daughter doesn't dare to break the rules of the Shangguan family. What's more, the position of the head of this family has always only recognized the owner of the treasury of the official family. ā€

Treasury? It turns out that this girl has this idea, but if she can help the Shangguan family through this difficulty, it will be nothing to give her some sweetness, anyway, only he knows where the key is, and he is afraid that she will be able to turn out the palm of her hand? (To be continued.) )
