The sky had not yet fully lit up, and the air was cold and substantial, and every breath was filled with a thick white gas.

In the cold palace, a small chamberlain ignited the earth dragon, and the warm current slowly spread.

Several palace ladies began to clean up, and the dust on the ground told the loneliness of this place.

Since Emperor Gengyuan and the abolished prince both died here, the Chunhe Palace, the center of the original empire, has become an ominous place.

Xinjun Zhao Cai rarely set foot here, and of course there is no reason for others to come here, everyone knows that since a hundred years ago, this has always been the most important place for Daqi's decision-making.

Half an hour later, there was an inner attendant holding a lamp, Zhao Cai was wearing a dark fox fur and a leather crown, and walked into the Spring and Hall of Harmony.

On either side sat six courtiers, all of whom looked at each other, not knowing what was the matter with the early morning summons.

These old ministers are all related to the royal family, and they are afraid that the emperor will accidentally say something and kill themselves.

You must know that the whole dynasty is the eyes and ears of the loyal and brave marquis, and if you have a small meeting here, maybe people will know it immediately.

After a while, Zhao Cai came, sat on the dragon chair, and looked very energetic. After all, he was young, and he didn't look sleepy when he got up so early.

The corners of Zhao Cai's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything, called the old eunuch Wang Xiang to his side and whispered.

Wang Xiang looked embarrassed, but still asked seriously: "All of you here are old ministers of the country, and they should share worries for the country, Your Majesty asked, what kind of business can earn two or three times the profit in three months?" ”

Everyone who originally carried a heart and was about to reach their throats were all stunned.

What does the little emperor want money for?

Of course, they didn't dare to ask more, but they finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Prince, aren't you embarrassing us, how can you have any business in such a short time?" Make so much money. If so? Isn't everyone rich? ”

Zhao Cai looked around and was disappointed? He's been sneaking out of the palace a lot lately? There are so many novelties that he can't even afford to buy.

Especially the last time I met a hunting dog from the Western Regions? Running as fast as flying, that Hu man bid 5,000 taels? Zhao Cai himself was embarrassed to say that he would take five thousand taels of silver from the inner house? Go buy a dog.

You know, five thousand taels can feed hundreds of fairly solid families.

If it is known that the Emperor of Great Qi spent five thousand taels to buy a dog? It is estimated that it will become a strong stroke in the history books? Lingering for 10,000 years.

The young emperor encountered growing pains, he was originally a rather hot-blooded teenager, but Chen Shou's layers of "protection" made him unable to touch anything that could be hot-blooded? On the contrary, he is surrounded by dogs and horses, cockfighting and lackeys? Falcon hunting...

As we all know, a teenager's playful heart? It is bigger than the sky, and any will will will depress you.

The best part? Zhao Cai almost didn't leave the palace? Nor was he raised as an emperor? His vision is actually very low.

Handan Marquis Zhao Xu said with a smile: "If Your Majesty is short of silver, you can ask the household department for it... Now we are united, the people are rich and the country is rich, and there is money. ”

Zhao Cai was moved for a while after listening to this, and secretly said in his heart, after the morning dynasty today, he wanted to leave Zhao Xiangcheng, the head of the household, to ask.

Early in the morning, Bianliang Street.

A group of people galloped through the cross street, and the leader, a tall man, sat in front of a noodle soup shop and shouted, "A bowl of noodle soup and two meatloafs." ”

The shopkeeper knew that this was the man of the year in the capital, Gao Huan of Jin Yuwei, who was a first-class powerful person, and hurriedly smiled and came up with a bowl of hot noodle soup and two crispy meatloaf.

Gao Huan ate by himself, and his subordinates knocked on a Hu merchant shop next to him, and after a while, he pulled out a dog.

Gao Huan is a knowledgeable person, and after a glance, he fell in love, looked left and right, and said, "It's really good." ”

"That's not it, the thief bird and lion opened his mouth widely, asking for 5,000 taels, and said that there was a son who had already booked, so he must not sell it."

Gao Huan smiled and said, "Isn't that the master, how much did you spend?" ”

"The subordinate negotiated with him, hehe, it cost three hundred taels."

Gao Huan laughed and threw a meatloaf on the ground, and the hound under his feet didn't even smell it.

"Hey, this beast is a bit of a dog."

The shopkeeper came out, with a reluctant face, and spoke some Chinese to them that he was not very fluent in. Presumably how noble the breed of the dog is, what kind of meat to eat, how often to bathe it.

Gao Huan waved his hand to chase away the flies, and secretly said in his heart, just to go to the Marquis of Zhongyong to report more silver, and it can be regarded as not running in vain early in the morning.

Thinking that he could earn a few thousand taels, Gao Huan waved his hand and said proudly: "Brothers, sit down and let go of eating, I have come to treat you today." ”

A group of subordinates scolded in their hearts, holding Ge noodle soup, how much can you spend to make this pie, I don't know if I thought you invited everyone into the night snow in Loulan.

Although he was slandered in his heart, these spies of Jin Yuwei also let go and ate a meal.

After the group finished eating, they entered the Ouchi, Jin Yuwei is also a branch of the Ouchi guards, responsible for guarding the forbidden middle, except for the new internal guard forbidden army, that is, the imperial horse supervisor, all of them are Gao Huan's old friends.

He went all the way unimpeded, came to the imperial garden, said a few words to the chamberlain, and after a while, the little eunuch trotted out: "General Gao, Your Majesty asked you to go in quickly." ”

In the imperial garden, Zhao Cai was overjoyed, holding a slender and short-haired hound, and couldn't put it down.

"Gao Aiqing is really my minister. Come on, give Gao Aiqing a handle. ”

The two eunuchs came out with a jade Ruyi, Gao Huan was overjoyed, he didn't expect that the three sides could make money.

Zhao Cai said with a smile: "With it, I can summon the Hou Shizi of Xiangcheng, the Hou Shizi of Handan, and the King of Guangling County to hunt." ”

Gao Huan hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, in late autumn, it is not easy to hunt, why not wait for the warm spring of the next year, raise this hunting dog to be mature, and then go hunting." ”

"Practice first!" Zhao Cai laughed.

Gao Huan was even more disdainful in his heart, hugged his fists, and turned to leave.

Wang Xiang on the side, a trace of strangeness flashed on his face, and His Majesty was on a whim, and Gao Huan sent the dog in.

How many quarters of an hour's secrets can be hidden in this big interior?

Looking at Zhao Cai again, he looked elated, he didn't seem to notice at all that his every move was under the surveillance of others, and he didn't have a heartless joy.

Wang Xiang has served two generations of emperors, when he was young, he was responsible for taking care of Emperor Gengyuan, and he still had a trace of loyalty to the royal family of Daqi, he smiled tentatively: "Your Majesty, General Gao Huan's news is really well-informed." ”

Zhao Cai's expression remained unchanged, he lowered his voice, and said with a smile on his face: "Official, do you want to see me die violently?" ”

Wang Xiang's heart slammed, his shocked look flashed, and he skillfully lowered his head to cover up the past.

In the imperial garden, only the laughter of the emperor and the barking of dogs were sparse.

"Hounds?"

Inside the water pavilion, Chen Shou asked with a frown.

"That's right, it's a hound from the Western Regions, my subordinates remember you said, as long as Your Majesty likes it, buy it for him to play, and the money can... Uh, hey, hey. ”

Chen Shou nodded and said, "This is no problem, even if it is reported in Jin Yuwei's accounts, I will let people do the accounting." ”

Gao Huan picked up the thumb brother and said, "Master Hou is atmospheric! ”

Chen Shou tapped his fingers on the table and asked playfully, "Gao Huan, you didn't make a false report on your dog days, right?" ”

"How is that possible, the loyalty of the subordinates to the Hou Ye is like the stone of Mount Tai and the pine of the Yellow Mountain..."

Chen Shou waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't know you yet, I don't know you yet, I don't make a false report, it's nothing to give the brothers an errand money, what else do I pretend." ”

Gao Huan blushed and said with a sneer: "Hou Ye's eyes are like torches. ”

"Has Your Majesty been enjoying hunting lately?" Chen Shou asked casually.

"It should be, when his subordinates see him and see the hound, his eyes are as bright as when you see a beauty."

Chen Shou slapped the table and scolded: "Bastard! ”

"The subordinates have no intentions, and the Hou Ye forgives the sins."

Chen Shou was too lazy to see this inferior thing, and said: "You pay attention carefully, where is our foundation, don't you know, I am not afraid of how strong the external enemy is, if there is a slight carelessness inside, we will all be unable to escape death, or we will never recover, you know, right?" ”

"My subordinates understand."

"We can get rid of Wei Yunse, we can get rid of the first emperor, we can get rid of the abolished prince, and others can also do the same, and don't be used by others to give me back my way."

Gao Huan didn't pay much attention to it, and walked out with a hippie smile, Chen Shou stood up, took the hot towel handed over by Tao'er, and asked while wiping his face: "Are all the things you have prepared?" ”

Tao'er wrung out a new one for him, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Green said that there are some to purchase, and I will send them to the master later." ”

"It's weird to call the second lady, and it's weird to call the green lady." Chen Shou smiled angrily.

Although Lu'er is not very old, she is the first concubine, so she is the second in line.

Chen Shou thought about it, he was such a big official, and he didn't know how high he was compared to the medicine seller in Yanggu County, and the concubine was on par with him, and he was also six, and he was really a bad woman.

It's ridiculous that he looks at people with high-handled eyes, and he actually utters slanderous words, which is really ridiculous.

Chen Shou asked Lu'er to prepare some children's application things, plus gold locks, toys, and small clothes, and prepare to send them to the summer palace.

"Why hasn't Lu'er come yet?"

Idle and bored, he asked the two maids to untie their shirts, and together, revealing the white and rich chests, playing for a while, and eating a cup of tea, Lu'er was about to arrive.

She wore a white silk jacket, and her immature body has been a little round recently, and it is even more charming. She wiped the thin sweat from her forehead, with a smile in her eyes, and asked secretly: "Master, tell you the truth to Lu'er, are you outside and adding a population to our house." Is it a man or a woman, is he born fat, is it the same as the master? ”

Chen Shou pinched her cheek, took a sip, and said, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, if Mrs. knows, we won't be happy." ”

Lu'er winked at him and grinned, "Are you still afraid of Madame?" ”

"It's not fear, it's respect." Chen Shou said: "Is my Chen Shou a person who is afraid of his wife?" ”

Lu'er and the two big girls nodded together, and the angry Chen Shou got up, slapped one of the three behind them, and said sneakily: "No one is allowed to say outside, if there is a little wind in our yard, I will hang the three of you, and the leather whip will be dipped in water and pumped." ”

"The master knows what kind of ability he has to be able to do it to us?" Lu'er covered her buttocks, laughing as she walked, and grimaced at him.

If this is someone else, even if it is Princess Huaishan, Chen Shou is not afraid, the main thing is that this child was born to him and Li Lingfeng. If Li Lingyue knows, he will have to make a big fuss, and his wife is afraid that he will not have a few hundred catties with a punch, and he will not have the confidence to survive.

Recently, Li Lingyue went to see her sister, but she was turned away several times, and her gossip heart was blazing, and she urged Chen Shou to inquire several times.

Chen Shou prevaricated, and Li Lingyue simply concluded that his sister and her little lover were eighty percent pregnant, which frightened Chen Shou so much that his face turned pale.

Speaking of which, I haven't been there for a few days, but today I have the courage to go to the summer palace to see my unborn child.

Acting like this, but like a thief, Chen Shou was in the carriage and sighed: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world." ”
