Imperial City, Daming Palace.

Jiangnan is still red and willow green, and in Shenjing City, although it has not snowed yet, you can already feel the chill through the bones.

The palace has already burned a hot earth dragon.

In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Long An, who had a somewhat thin face, put down the cinnabar imperial pen, his brows furrowed tightly, and his solemn eyes suppressed anger and irritability.

It's not that his self-cultivation skills are not enough, he has been sitting in the position of King Lianjun and Prince Lian for more than 20 years, working hard, and never showing a little intention of winning the heir like his siblings, how could it be that his self-cultivation skills are insufficient?

It's just that now that he has ascended to the throne of God, 100,000 miles of rivers and mountains are on his shoulders, and the livelihood and education of hundreds of millions of Li Shu are pressed in his heart, making him like a burden of Mount Tai.

If that's all it takes, it can disrupt his plan for at least five years because of the chaos that came out of thin air.

Moreover, a wave of talented ministers who had been preparing to replenish the military aircraft department had been expelled from Beijing for five years after he had been on the throne for five years and even twenty years after his submersion, which greatly damaged his vitality!

Plus the Jiuhua Palace......

The fundamental differences in governing the country have been exposed at once.

Even if it is another two or three years, when the dragon of Jiuhua Palace returns to the sky, but at the moment, there is no one left in this Manchu Dynasty.

The contradiction is so sharp that he has already sat on the throne, and he is still frightened.

With all kinds of troubles in his heart, how can he not be irritable in his heart......

Outside the hall, the Amitayus Pagoda in the Xianlou Buddha Hall is blown by the cold wind, and the copper bell rings, echoing in the hall, like a burst of Sanskrit sound, which seems to be able to soothe some of the anger in the heart of the supreme in the world.

"Master......"

Dai Quan, the chief eunuch of Daming Palace, who was dressed in a red python dragon robe, called softly.

Emperor Long An looked sideways, his gaze was cold.

For the inner servant, he has always used it and is deeply wary of it.

He always thought that such a person with a crippled body would inevitably have a crippled mind.

Loyalty may be faithful, but loyalty does not necessarily lead to faithfulness.

Therefore, in the case that most of the ministers, nobles, and generals in the army were former ministers of the Emperor, Emperor Long An entrusted the internal servants with important responsibilities and used them to balance the power of the courtiers, but he never indulged in the slightest.

Over the years, there were no less than ten great eunuchs who were beaten to death with a rod because of their misdeeds.

Therefore, Dai Quan is now highly regarded and majestic on the outside, but in front of Emperor Long An, he is still humble like an old dog.

"Master, the servants below have reported that there has been a strange incident in several royal mansions and prime minister's mansions in the past few days, and it also involves the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, Ning Guofu and, that Jia Qiang."

Dai Quan bowed and said.

Hearing the word "Jia Qiang", Emperor Long An's already solemn gaze immediately turned vigilant, and asked in a low voice: "Jia Qiang?" What happened to his restless generation? Isn't he already out of Beijing? ”

Between the words, he no longer concealed his disgust with Jia Qiang.

Dai Quan hurriedly said: "Jia Qiang also got two weaving and dyeing recipes out of nowhere, which are more clever than the weaving and dyeing recipes of the Bada Cloth Zhuang Hengsheng and Dongsheng. He sold the indigo-dyed recipe to the Hang Seng for 30,000 taels. Among them, 20,000 taels were lent to Xue Pan, a disciple of the Xue family, an imperial merchant, to help him collect 100,000 taels of silver and redeem himself for the flower Xie Yu of Fengle Building. The other Fang Zi was handed over to Jia Yun, a clan brother who worked under him, before leaving Beijing, and told him that if Dongsheng came to buy the son, he would receive 30,000 taels of silver and give the Fang Zi to others. But he didn't want to, Dongsheng Zhao Donglin didn't go directly to the door, but found Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion, gave Jia Zhen 10,000 taels of silver, and asked Jia Zhen to come as the patriarch of the party......"

Hearing this, Emperor Long An snorted coldly and said, "Clever and robbed!" ”

Dai Quan smiled and said, "Who said it wasn'......"

Emperor Long An glanced at him coldly, and Dai Quan instantly realized that the Son of Heaven in front of him didn't need him as a eunuch to praise him, so he hurriedly lowered his head and pleaded guilty.

Emperor Long An didn't want to be too harsh, so he didn't pay attention to it, but asked, "Then Jia Yun gave Jia Zhen the recipe?" ”

Dai Quan hurriedly replied: "I gave it, I gave it on the spot." If it weren't for the timely arrival of Hou Shizi of Huai'an, even Jia Yun would have been taken away by Jia Zhen. ”

When Emperor Long An heard this, he snorted, he naturally knew that Jia Qiang cooperated with several powerful marquis mansions in Huai'an Hou Mansion.

Although he didn't think much of it, he didn't care much about it.

It is more noble to make a living and earn some money than to drink the blood of soldiers and greed for silver.

After a pause, Emperor Long An was puzzled again: "In this case, how can it have anything to do with several royal mansions and prime ministers?" ”

Dai Quan twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "This is a strange thing, the recipe left by Jia Qiang was actually divided into two parts." He told Na Jia Yun that if Dongsheng brought 30,000 taels of silver seriously, he would hand over the two Tibetan recipes. If Dongsheng goes crooked and forces Fangzi, he can hand over a bag. As a result, Jia Zhen took a prescription and went back to pay the errand. Dongsheng didn't know what was going on, so he printed and dyed like that, and sold the dyed silk into Prince Zhongshun's Mansion and Jingxiang Mansion and Luoxiang Mansion, especially Prince Zhongshun's old lady was going to celebrate her 80th birthday, so she bought most of it. But I never thought that the dyed silk actually faded. The Zhao family couldn't say if they were suffering, so they could only bother Lord Zhao Dongshan, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, to come forward in person and apologize one by one. ”

When Emperor Long An heard this, after being silent for a while, he squinted his eyes and said, "This Jia family actually has such a city plan......

However, Dai Quan said: "Master, the slave and maid are not talking about this for Na Jia Qiang. The master said that Jia Qiang had made an oath three times and twice, and if he did not enter the court as an official, it was not worth paying much attention to. I want it to live and die in the future, but the master will decide with a word...... The slave said this because she had discovered something strange. ”

"What's the odd thing?"

Involving several royal mansions, prime ministers' mansions and purple officials in the court, Emperor Long An was not careful.

Dai Quan said softly: "Master, the guards of the CRRC Mansion under the slave maid found that after the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate entered the Ningjun Palace, the time spent was nearly an hour longer than the time spent in other mansions. On weekdays, I haven't seen any communication between Lord Zhao and King Ningjun. The slave maid thought that there was something unusual about this. ”

When Emperor Long An heard this, an extremely dangerous gaze flashed in his eyes.

King Ning!

What does this grandson of the Emperor want to do?

Like his crazy old man, do you want to die?!

"Check it out, what's going on with this Zhao Dongshan!"

Emperor Long An said in a deep voice.

After Dai Quan hurriedly responded, he whispered again: "Master, there is one more thing ......"

Emperor Long An looked sideways, and Dai Quan hurriedly said: "The slave maid has been staring at the Ningjun Palace, and she has never found anything serious. But recently, the slave and maid suddenly reacted, and there was something that didn't seem quite right......"

Emperor Long An frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Dai Quan's eyes were puzzled, and he said: "King Ningjun is a generous person, the younger generation among the sect masters, he has the highest title and the most expensive status, so he often takes a group of young clans out to eat, drink, and spend a lot of money. But even if he is the title of county king, a year's worth is only that. There are also a number of income slaves and maids on Wang Zhuang, all of which add up, and the annual income is no more than 30,000 taels of silver. It costs a lot to maintain a royal palace. Ushering in the Boxing Gift is another big expense. But on weekdays, when King Ning Jun was short of money, where did he get so much silver? ”

Emperor Long An's face was gloomy when he heard this, thinking that he was a serious man, and he had often worried about the lack of money in the treasury all these years, and a small county king was actually rich to this point?

He asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that it was rewarded by the Emperor?" ”

Li Hui, the king of Ningjun, is the son of the late Prince Yizhong, and Prince Yizhong is the son of the Emperor Taishang, and his blood is extremely valuable.

Before Prince Yizhong was abolished and banned, the Emperor Taishang had only one son in his eyes, and the others were all sons and courtiers.

Although the past is gone, it is not impossible to favor the first grandson.

Dai Quan shook his head again, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, master, if such a thing really happens in Jiuhua Palace, there will never be no rumors." ”

Hearing him say this, thinking of what he had done before, Emperor Long An's face suddenly turned pale, and he said coldly: "Then in your opinion, Li Hui's silver is honored by others?!" ”

If even the government and the opposition heard of the name of the upright and upright Fang of the Imperial Palace, such a high-ranking and powerful Yizi official, all of them were devoted to Li Hui, and were even willing to give him filial piety to gold and silver, it would be cruel and cruel to Emperor Long'an!!

"Check!"

"Investigate it thoroughly!!"

……

Ningguo Mansion, the second floor of Tianxiang Building.

Sitting in the north, an ivory gold wire collapsed, and Jia Zhen leaned on the big red Danfeng Chaoyang brocade quilt.

Set up a moire begonia incense table in front of you, and there is a pink petal water blue cup on the several, a magnetic carved mandarin duck tripod and a pair of firewood kiln beauty bottles.

A few feet of incense, but also set up a copper carved plum blossom three breasts foot incense burner.

The incense burner is burning with the incense of Mrs. Stamen, and the misty white smoke floats from the plum blossoms, which is sweet and refreshing.

However, Jia Zhen was full of depression.

His expression was a little depressed, and sometimes he was a little cruel and resentful, looking at his daughter-in-law Qin Keqing who was playing the qin opposite, and sipping a rock sugar lotus seed soup......

In the past three months, it has been the most fiery day Jia Zhen has ever had in half of her life.

There was an evil animal in the clan, and his dignity was ruined several times.

Although no one dares to say anything to her face, Jia Zhen is not a fool, how can she not feel the changes in the people around her?

In the past, except for Xifu, he was able to suppress the entire Jia clan, relying on the prestige he gained by beating his son every day.

Even Jia Rong spat on his face, who is not in awe of the patriarch?

But now, this prestige made Jia Qiang step on his feet and rub it hard a few times, so that his face was almost wiped blood, although no one said anything at the moment, but there are not many people who watch his jokes in private.

In the future, it will be difficult to say anything in the clan like before.

for the hearts of men are scattered......

Jia Zhen has lived for half her life, and if she doesn't be an official or a businessman, she has a good face.

Now that he can't even maintain his face, how can he not be angry in his heart?

In just these two days, Jia Rong couldn't get up......

Everyone in the house was frightened, and they only hoped that he would be able to pass this section as soon as possible.

Jia Zhen looked at her daughter-in-law who was as charming and charming as a disaster on the other side, and listened to the ethereal sound of the piano, and her heart gradually calmed down.

It's just that he didn't know that in Qin Keqing's heart, his image had slowly collapsed......
