Another relatively important thing for Chen Jia is that Sun Aoting's second uncle died unexpectedly, according to Xing's private inquiry, Sun Aoting's second uncle has been gambling outside all the year round, and owes a lot of money to the gambling house. He also sent someone to clean up the gambling house. How do you know that people are not as good as heaven, the remnants of the gambling house actually sent someone to kill him on the way, and Old Man Sun once again experienced the grief of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, and it didn't take long for him to leave.

When Chen Jia heard about this, although he was saddened by the death of Old Man Sun, the death of Sun Aoting's second uncle also made Sun Aoting have one less worry. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that after the death of Old Man Sun, Sun Aoting also justifiably wanted to keep filial piety for three years, and he didn't say anything about getting married.

Thinking of the scene when Sun Aoting finally gave up at the auction, Chen Jia felt that Sun Aoting just couldn't let go of himself for the time being. One day I will give up.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Jia entered the palace, the emperor was in the early court, and Chen Jia went directly to the Jiuxia Palace, the new palace of Duan Guifei.

"See the concubine." Chen Jia gave a salute.

"Chen Jia? How did you get hacked like this? When Ronghua saw Chen Jia, he couldn't close his mouth in shock.

"Ronghua, I haven't recovered from my illness for a long time, Lang Zhong said that I have too deep a toxin into my body, and I need to be discharged slowly, and it is estimated that there will be a period of time to be this complexion." Chen Jia smiled heartily, accidentally forgetting that she was a woman, and showed a bright smile with her standard eight teeth.

Ronghua stepped forward and grabbed Chen Jia's hand directly. smiled and scolded: "You skin monkey, you must have gone somewhere to play." Don't let me see it, you must be tanned like this. Don't forget, I'm now a mother of four boys. ”

"Uh. is still the most powerful in Ronghua. Chen Jia also held Ronghua's hand, and the two walked hand in hand to the chair and sat down. Chen Jia grabbed a piece of osmanthus cake on the table and ate it.

"Say, where did you go crazy this year? He also said that he was sick, and I was worried about it for a long time. Ronghua complained.

"I've been traveling everywhere for a year, and it's easier to wear men's clothes when I go out, and I've been pretending to be a man, and I've also tanned a lot." Chen Jia took a sip of tea. I ate so hard that I almost choked.

"Then you can also hand me a letter, let me worry about it for so long." Ronghua patted Chen Jia on the back. Angry.

"I'm sorry, Ronghua, for worrying you." Chen Jia was full of emotion, but she couldn't tell the truth to Ronghua. This is what the emperor ordered. If she let Ronghua know, and accidentally let the emperor know, she didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

"I heard that the martial arts competition is going to be held soon, and the emperor ordered it to be held in Shengcheng, will you go to see it?"

"Oh, maybe. I would go if I had nothing to do. Chen Jia said vaguely.

"Sheng Cheng, you should go and have a look. The last time my brother came to Beijing, he told me that the development of Shengcheng was better than I imagined. It can be called a model of the five cities of Shenghe Kingdom. ”

"Oh? What's a good way? Chen Jia narrowed his eyes.

"My brother said that he himself has made some achievements in recruiting troops in Fancheng. But the cost of raising troops is also large, and the emperor does not allocate money from the treasury. It's up to each city to figure it out. The economy of Fancheng was like that, he only increased his army by 20,000, but he ended up with no money to hand over to the national treasury. But I heard that Shengcheng increased its troops by 80,000, and it still had the money to be handed over to the treasury as in previous years. ”

Ronghua seemed to have something to say, Chen Jia blinked his eyes and thought about it, and Ronghua continued to speak when he saw this.

"The Marquis of Zhongyong, the Marquis of Anding, and the Marquis of Yuancheng all increased their troops by 50,000, but none of them handed over the money and grain to the treasury, and now the treasury only relies on the support of the capital and Shengcheng. My brother has become the most backward one, and he was reprimanded by the emperor last time he was summoned to the capital. ”

It turns out that Ronghua is in a hurry to find a way for himself, and the entire Shenghe has increased its troops by 250,000, which is indeed a very large expense, but among the 250,000 soldiers, Fancheng does not even account for one-tenth, while Shengcheng accounts for nearly one-third. The emperor's original intention was to recruit troops and increase the strength of the whole country, but now Shengcheng is almost a monopoly, and over time, it will be difficult for the emperor to balance the strength of the five cities, and if Jiang Wenhan has different intentions, the emperor will also be in a dilemma.

Chen Jia also knew that the emperor ordered all cities to recruit troops, and she also knew that Shengcheng did the best, but she never expected that the gap between Shengcheng and Fancheng would be so big.

It seems that he should go to Shengcheng to have a look, at least to explore Jiang Wenhan's reality, if he really wants to support the army and respect himself, he should have made plans early.

"Sheng Cheng is indeed like this, then I'll go and see how they make money, so that I can also share the pie." Chen Jia said with a smile, and explained without a trace that he would go to Shengcheng, which made Ronghua feel at ease. Chen Jia changed his words and asked, "Didn't you say that you want to have another little princess?" Why is there no movement now? ”

"The emperor wants to worry about the government, saying that Li Sheng is in civil strife, and he sent Cheng Dong to help suppress it, and he rarely even comes to the harem. However, the Qing nobleman was pregnant with a dragon heir a few months ago, and somehow she slipped the fetus, she had to say that Concubine Rui and Concubine Hui harmed her, but there was no evidence, which made the emperor bored and sent her into the cold palace. ”

Unexpectedly, the invincible little nobleman ended up like this, Chen Jia couldn't help but think of what the emperor said, Ronghua and Zhaoxue can give birth to children because he wants them to give birth, so if the Qing nobleman failed to give birth to a child, does the emperor not want her to give birth? Qing nobles only thought that it was the harem that competed for favor, and they were afraid that other concubines would harm themselves, but they didn't expect that it was the emperor she relied on who really didn't let her give birth to a dragon.

Chen Jia couldn't help but feel a little frightened, the royal family is the center of power, and it is also the most terrifying, whether it is a noble concubine or a lowly palace maid, it is impossible to help herself. Maybe one day I'll die with a whimper, and I don't know who is going to kill me.

"She's so nice." Chen Jia smiled reluctantly.

"Yes, but she offended a lot of concubines and palace maids in the palace before, and now she is also very sad in the cold palace." Ronghua also sighed.

"Guifei Niangniang, the four princes have come to greet Niangniang." Lotus came in and preached.

"Oh, let them in." Ronghua said with a smile.

Chen Jia stood up when he saw this, after all, he was a prince, although he was a child, he still had to make a salute on his face, maybe he had been here for too long, Chen Jia also had a deep understanding of these respectful and humble etiquette, and he didn't want to be so awkward when he first came, anyway, it was just a salute, just treat it as a handshake in his previous life.

"The child has seen the mother." The four little ones were brought in by the nurses, lined up, and saluted in a proper manner. Cute and cute, especially the two twins, who can just walk and talk, they actually do a good job.

"I've seen all the princes." Chen Jia said with a smile.

"Come and see your aunt of the county lord." With a move of Ronghua's hand, the four princes pounced, and when the two little guys saw that they couldn't hold Ronghua, they turned their heads like Chen Jia and pounced. Chen Jia hurriedly caught it.

"Ronghua, you are so powerful, teach them etiquette at such a young age. I thought I was dazzled when I saw them like that. Chen Jia lifted one in one hand and sat directly on his lap. (To be continued......)
