Chapter 270: Changing Heavens
"Ruixue, since you want to help Ting Zhuo take charge of the Chen family, you have to do it thoroughly. It's really not good to hesitate like this. The old lady said: "The Chen family is already going downhill now, and the ancestral industry should no longer be in the hands of Chen Hai." β
It is Han Ruixue who is sometimes quite depressed. How much does the Chen family have to do with her? Even if Chen Hai's character is corrupted, Chen Tingzhuo's brothers are all clever on the surface, what does it have to do with her?
When the time comes, she will have a good life with Chen Tingzhuo.
But sometimes she feels that since she married into the Chen family, she is a member of the Chen family, and her children will also have the surname Chen in the future.
It's a relief when you think about it.
Since Han Ruixue told Chen Sansi about the situation in the court, a major event has happened in Dongruiguo.
The prince was already quite suspicious, so he has always lived in seclusion and doesn't care about anything.
But even so, the prince was deposed, because the slaves and maids around the prince reported the prince, saying that he was drinking and listening to music every day and was not doing his job.
This is simply a trumped-up charge, and whoever listens to it will feel that it is not a thing.
Originally, normal people also want to drink and listen to music to enjoy it, and it is not a special period for state funerals.
It was because of this report that Emperor Ruiwu deposed the crown prince.
The high-sounding in the edict is just that the prince will be the pillar of the country in the future, if he sees that he is about to be established, he still does not do his job, how can he take on a big role in the future.
After Han Ruixue heard the news, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
"Which tendon is wrong with this emperor?" Han Ruixue asked angrily, "If there is any great crime of rebellion, he will abolish the crown prince." What a broken excuse this is! People like me, who don't know anything about politics, know that this is a trumped-up crime, and it's obviously a frame-up! β
Chen San sighed that he was just drinking all night, and he was also a little sad.
At that time, he was enthusiastic about studying for the imperial examination, just to be able to serve the country.
thought that the contemporary prosperity was the time for him to show his talents, but now it seems that he is too naΓ―ve.
"Well, you don't want to think about it, a little slave. How did you have the courage to go to the palace to sue the prince for such a trivial matter? Think again. The reason why Emperor Wu used such a small charge to depose the crown prince was for what was it for? Chen San sighed and asked.
Chen Tingzhuo said: "He was instructed by the emperor, right?" The reason why Emperor Wu wanted such a small reason to depose the crown prince was just because he wanted to see how strong his control over these courts and the world was. "He didn't care about politics before. But since I heard Han Ruixue say it that time. I also began to pay attention.
Chen San sighed and nodded: "That's right." Emperor Ruiwu should be very pleased with this incident. None of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty stood up to speak to the prince. β
"Then will there be another prince?" Han Ruixue cares about this issue.
"Emperor Wu didn't mention the matter of the crown prince." Chen San sighed, "Emperor Wu was in very poor health before. is still thinking about delegating power, but now that his health is better, he naturally has to hold on to power tightly. β
"But why doesn't anyone speak for the prince?" Han Ruixue is very strange, don't they all say that the prince is virtuous? Why didn't anyone stand up at this time?
Chen San sighed and said in a low voice: "Because the prince doesn't let everyone intercede." β
As soon as they heard this, Han Ruixue and Chen Tingzhuo both let out a low "ah".
Sure enough, the affairs of the court are not something they can understand.
"Although I analyzed so much with you that day, I still think that our Dongrui Congress has been peaceful for many years." Chen San sighed and sighed: "Now it seems that what you said is not bad at all, you should plan early and plan early!" β
"And what are your plans?" Han Ruixue asked boldly.
Although he has a good relationship with Chen Sansi, it is still a bit abrupt to ask such a question.
Chen San sighed and was slightly stunned, but immediately smiled and said, "My ambition is to be able to assist Lord Ming." β
Needless to say, Han Ruixue understands.
When they returned home with Chen Tingzhuo, the two began to discuss again.
"If there is a real war, where can we go?" Han Ruixue asked with some concern.
Chen Tingzhuo thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's find a big temple and put more incense money there, if there is anything else, let's go to the temple to hide?" Even if there is a war, it is not easy for them to fight the Buddha, right? β
Han Ruixue shook her head and vetoed: "If you really kill the red eyes, who cares about the gods and Buddhas?" β
"Then let's find a big mountain to live in, and the army won't kill it to escape the victims of the war, right?"
"That's a good idea, but where can I find such a suitable mountain?" Han Ruixue is still worried.
Chen Tingzhuo thought for a while and said, "Then let's build a secret room, and if there is a war, let's hide in it." β
"How big is the chamber?" Han Ruixue continued to ask.
Rao is Chen Tingzhuo has a good temper, but he still can't help but say: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, where should we hide?" β
"Have you ever seen a pearl?" Han Ruixue asked.
Chen Tingzhuo said patiently: "Of course I have seen it." I gave you a pair of pearl earrings, have you forgotten? β
"Do you know where the pearls come from?"
"Naturally, it's from the sea!"
"Let's hide in the sea!" Han Rui Snow Road.
"To the sea?" Chen Tingzhuo didn't know what Han Ruixue was talking about.
After the two discussed, Chen Tingzhuo was finally convinced, and he said happily: "If you really find such a place, not only can you have many disasters and get tired of life, but you can also stay for a while to relax." β
"Xianggong, you should pay more attention!" Han Rui Snow Road.
Chen Tingzhuo nodded in response.
Since you have to prepare, you should be prepared.
Han Ruixue first sent someone to the horse market to buy twenty horses.
These horses are worth a lot of money, but they are good horses that can travel thousands of miles.
After being kept in the horse farm, Han Ruixue began to make the carriage again.
This time, the carriage was different from the usual magnificence. Rather, it is necessary to meet two requirements, one is to be light, never too heavy, and the other is to be strong.
Chen Tingzhuo also began to make some moves. One of them is to withdraw the funds little by little, and the silver tickets bet on various banks have also been exchanged for real money.
When it came to the war, these real money and silver were life-saving things, and the money bank did not exist, and the silver ticket became a piece of paper.
The second thing is that there is a big promotion of things in Beauty Square. The goods are freshly made and sold. The goods are not prepared in advance at all, as before.
Chen Tingzhuo wanted to inquire about the matter, and there was news soon.
He came back excitedly and said to Han Ruixue: "Ruixue, I met a businessman from Xize Country, he knows where there are things we want!" β
"Then ask him to meet him!" Han Ruixue said happily.
This time the treat is not in Zhen Yuju. is in the hot pot restaurant opened by Han Ruixue and Li Dongsheng.
Looking at the high-nosed businessman sitting in front of him. Han Ruixue didn't have the slightest curious look.
Chen Tingzhuo and the businessman were very surprised.
First time meeting a foreigner. behaved so calmly, he was really the first person.
The merchant, who could speak Chinese, asked curiously, "This beautiful young lady." Aren't you surprised to see me? β
Han Ruixue shook her head and said, "I feel very kind when I see you, because I always see you in my dreams." β
"See me?" Rao is the people of Xize are open-minded, and when he heard this, he still felt a little incredible. Looking at Han Ruixue's beautiful face, businessman Tom has already made up a romantic love story in his heart.
"It's not to see you, it's to see people like you." Han Ruixue said, "In a dream." β
"Oh, beautiful lady who loves fantasy!" Tom exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.
Chen Tingzhuo couldn't listen anymore, interrupted the two of them, and asked, "Mr. Tom, you can talk about the island now." β
Looking at Chen Tingzhuo's somewhat ugly face, Tom scolded "stingy man" in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "The island is not mine." I'm just going to give you a briefing. β
Originally, Nishizawa Province was an island nation made up of countless small islands.
The country does not have much land to grow food, so it can only develop commerce. Naturally, the income of the royal family was also taxed.
There weren't many taxes, so the royal family in Nishizawa was in a state of embarrassment.
The emperor had a flash of inspiration one day, there are so many small islands in the country, why not sell one?
So a notice was posted in the country.
At this point, Tom shrugged his shoulders and said, "I want to buy it, but where is the money!" Our emperor is really crazy about money. β
"How big is the island?" Han Ruixue asked.
"Just a hundred miles," said Tom, "but it will be sold, for a hundred thousand taels of silver here of yours." "He's a natural businessman, so he's going to have to pay a little more.
"One hundred thousand taels?" Han Ruixue and Chen Tingzhuo said in unison.
A hundred miles square, only sold for 100,000 taels, there is such a good thing in the world. What's more, it's still an island, and after buying it, you can be the emperor of that small island country.
"Isn't it too much? But I think our emperor should be cheaper, like more than 90,000 taels or something. Tom said worriedly.
Han Ruixue and Chen Tingzhuo glanced at each other, and continued to ask tacitly: "How long does it take to get to that island from Dongrui Kingdom?" β
Tom thought for a moment and said, "It's going to take a month." My carriage is the best in the country. Tom had already thought that if Chen Tingzhuo and his wife went in his carriage at that time, he would be able to make another amount of money.
After meeting Tom, Han Ruixue discussed with Chen Tingzhuo and decided to let Chen Fu take a trip.
Chen Tingzhuo's subordinates are loyal and have strong work ability, and it is none other than Chen Fu.
After all this was done, Han Ruixue still felt not very relieved.
Because during this time, another incident happened in the court, that is, several sons of Emperor Wu were convicted.
The charges are also varied, leaving those who hear them dumbfounded.
Among them, there is a prince who is accused of having no children.
This prince has just been married for a year, and he has a harmonious relationship with his wife, there are no other concubines, and it is normal to have no children for a while.
But because of this, he was demoted to a civilian.
These princes are princes, so naturally they won't put up with each of them without saying anything. Therefore, the atmosphere of Dongrui Kingdom today is very delicate. It was in the stillness before the gunpowder exploded.
"Will we have to leave the capital without waiting for Chen Fu to come back?" Chen Tingzhuo asked Han Ruixue.
Han Ruixue shook her head and said, "These princes can't make it to the climate, so we don't have to worry." The one with power is still gathering power, and he will not act rashly for a while. β
"You know so many things?" Chen Tingzhuo admired her little lady more and more.
Han Ruixue shook her head and said, "Naturally, I don't know, but my father knows." If there is turmoil in the capital, he will definitely send someone to protect me as soon as possible, or take me with him, and now he has not said anything, which means that there will be no major incident for the time being. β
Things really came according to Han Ruixue's words.
Several princes united to make Emperor Ruiwu abdicate.
But before they could finish their plan, the army sent by the emperor had already captured them in the prison.
Chen Sanxian used to be busy with government affairs every day, but now he often comes to Chen Tingzhuo for a drink.
His depression was palpable on his face.
Thinking that such a person with a strong backbone in the past has become like this now, Han Ruixue feels uncomfortable.
Some time ago, when Han Ruixue told him about Emperor Ruiwu, he also told Han Ruixue to be careful, but now it's okay, every time he wants to say something, he wants Han Ruixue to close the window, for fear that someone will hear it.
"As the saying goes, tigers don't eat children, but if you look at what Emperor Wu is doing now, he doesn't want to keep any of the adult princes anymore! The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all knelt down and begged him, and a few of them almost died in the main hall, leaving the lives of several princes. He also kept saying that he had convicted the princes in the first place because he wanted to test their loyalty. But the prince didn't do anything against it, he was deposed and didn't say anything, why didn't he say anything? Chen San slapped the table and said loudly.
Thanks to the fact that they sent the people out early, otherwise Chen Sansi's words would have died a hundred times.
"I'm so sad!" Chen San sighed and took a big sip of wine, and said sadly: "I thought that I was full of wealth and could make some achievements, but when I finally met him, he told me that he wanted to be a loyal man and a loyal father!" I was blind and thought he was an ambitious man! β
Han Ruixue and Chen Tingzhuo were a little confused, but they didn't ask much. They can't help with what Chen San sighed said, and it is better to know less.
Chen San sighed but didn't intend to let the two of them go, he asked drunkly, "Do you know who this person I'm talking about?" Yes, he is the crown prince! has always been a prince with a good reputation, but he plans to swallow his anger and be a commoner for the rest of his life. (To be continued.) )
