The Eighth Emperor Feng Wujing and the Nine Emperor Zi Feng were ordered to inspect the Yellow River embankment and Cao Yun Qing Ying but the porridge has been three months, although there will be no flood after the winter, and Cao Yun is not unusual, but because the emperor has not issued a decree to summon the two into Beijing, the two golden and noble princes can only stay in the Hedu Mansion bored. Thinking that the New Year is about to close, the other princes in Beijing will definitely do everything they can, but they can only nest in this kind of ghost place, and the two of them are naturally full of evil fire in their hearts.

"Starling, the situation has really changed at this time, the two of us are here to inspect the riverbank in the winter, but those filthy officials are enjoying themselves in the capital, it is really indistinguishable, the father is so confused, it is really too much!" The Nine Emperor Princes were indignant without injury, and when he tilted his neck, he poured a glass of wine, and suddenly coughed violently, choking and sweating profusely.

"Lao Jiu, be careful, don't drink too much." The Eighth Emperor Feng Wujing handed over a handkerchief and glared at his younger brother dissatisfiedly, "This is the one that the river workers like to drink, how can you pour this kind of hot rice wine into your stomach indiscriminately?" If it hurts my stomach, I can't explain it when I go back. Moreover, the father has his own father's reason, and we have no reason to argue whether we are sons of men or ministers, if you can't control this mouth, you will have to suffer when you go back! ”

Feng Wuxian wiped the beads of sweat on his head with a handkerchief, and pursed his lips indifferently.

His mother Concubine Rong Zhou and Feng Wujing's mother Concubine Zhao are cousins, and they are the best when they are in the boudoir, so they also take care of each other after entering the palace, and after they got children, they all became concubines, which really made the Zhou family and the Zhao family very beautiful. However, the position of the concubines in the palace depends on the title.

The second is to look at the mother's family, so although the two concubines are quite passable, they are much worse than the Yu Guifei Xiao who is in the sixth palace and He Xueming, who has just been promoted to Hui Guifei. Moreover, the mothers of the three princes and the four princes are all concubines. If it is really according to the rule that the son is more expensive than the mother, the two princes of them are not much worse than a few popular figures.

"Starling. You're too unproductive! Feng Wuxian suddenly burst out with a sentence, "If it is said that it is the dragon son and the phoenix grandson, everyone is the blood of their father's emperor, and everyone has the hope of ascending to the dragon land, why can they sit and enjoy their success in the capital." But we have to freeze outside? This is already clearly bullying us, my father was blinded by those powerful ministers, if we don't know how to fight for it, why should others help us? Don't you see the shitty River's intentions? ”

He also ignored the wind and the ugly face, and continued to say: "When the two of us first came, he waited in front of the saddle and behind the horse, and he was very attentive, but then he gradually became estranged, and when he went up the embankment to inspect the road, he only sent his subordinates to guide the way. When he asked for the list of river workers, he prevaricated in the name of the imperial court, and then offered us as bodhisattvas as he does now. Good wine and good food, and the rest of the truth is not half a sentence. You can bear it, I can't bear it! He slapped the table vigorously.

Huo Di stood up, "In the past, a slight thief could shout, the prince and the general, rather there is a kind of thing, why can we only suffer such idleness!" ”

Feng Wujing saw that his younger brother was getting more and more unsympathetic, so he got up and rushed forward, covered Feng Wujing's nagging mouth, and reprimanded him fiercely: "It's okay to hide these things in your heart, you want to say it, are you impatient or what?" He listened intently to the movements around him for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he let go of his hand, "In the future, use your brains to speak, even your own mansion can't be so presumptuous, not to mention that this is the River Governor's Mansion you said!" It doesn't matter if you are interrogated by the Zongren Mansion, what do you let your aunt do? ”

After saying a few words, he was speechless, and stood there for a while, seeing that the anger on his brother's face had not been eliminated, he couldn't help but panic a little. "Starling, aren't I just quick to speak? The mother concubine is an honest person, and she doesn't know whether to fight or let go of anything, isn't the second aunt the same? He suddenly lowered his voice, "According to what you just meant, as long as we can act in secret, this storage position can still be fought?" He has tested this guy several times, every time the wind is not scene, he is concerned about him, and it is easy to show a little bit of wind today, how can he not like it?

Feng Wujing glanced at his younger brother angrily, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person, just know it yourself." His gaze suddenly changed from the initial desirelessness to ambition, "Everything is to be fought for by yourself, I want to think about how beautiful the fifth brother was at the beginning, but now he can only spend his whole life in the Zongren Mansion, and within a few years, all he can see is the narrow place above his head, which shows the impermanence of the world." You don't have to envy others, as long as you do your own errands, even if the current storage position is not for you and me, the future is uncertain. ”

Feng Wujing nodded knowingly, of course he understood what Feng Wujing meant, rather than mixing in it indiscriminately now, it was better to put hope later. Looking at the meaning of the father's face, the candidates for the prince are nothing more than those people such as Feng Wuyan and Feng Wuxi, and as for the winning side, it is Feng Wuxi, who uses the Xiao family as a backup

Big, but that's all for sure. Concubine Hui was promoted to concubine just after she became pregnant, maybe her father still hasn't made a final decision, so from this point of view, everyone has a chance now. (Wen 'Xin' Hand ' Hit 'Group' Hand ' Hit 'Whole' Li)

The two were relatively speechless, and after drinking for a while, Feng Wujing seemed to have a question in mind. "Old Nine, the end of the year is approaching, I think at this time, my father will not let us hang around outside no matter what, so he will definitely issue an order to summon us back before the year, just the gift will take a lot of brains. Not to mention the necessary congratulatory gifts from the father, even the concubines of the harem can't be left behind, and there are other brothers who also need to be counted, and it is not a small amount. ”

When it comes to the issue of money, Feng Wuxian feels irritable for a while, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and now it is difficult to move an inch without money. Neither of their mothers' families is a wealthy family, and the Zhuangzi given by their father is also the least among the princes, and the annual silver issued to the children of the royal family is not enough to even plug the gaps. But what about the expenses, in addition to maintaining a large royal palace, whether it is the handover of foreign officials or vassals, everything needs silver, and they dare not blatantly try to do it, they can only do it secretly, compared to the kind of powerful people who have a business of hundreds of thousands of taels at every turn, these two princes really can't even smell the smell of fish.

"Where the hell is this money?" The wind tugged at his hair without injury, and an idea suddenly came to him. He leaned his head a little closer and suggested in a low voice: "Starling, they all know how to deal with businessmen, and they don't know how much money they scrape off from those wealthy businessmen every year, why don't we learn this trick too?" "There are already a lot of salt merchants in Huai'an, so it's no wonder that Feng Wuxian hit these people with the idea.

"Are you crazy? These salt dogs are all inextricably linked with the court officials, not to mention anything else, let's just say that now the Yue family and the Luo family, whose business names are all over the world, they have climbed many wealthy families in the capital by relying on Lao Qi, and every year they send more than one million dollars of regular silver alone, so most of the powerful people have given up the original old people, and many have invested capital in it. Although there are many salt merchants in Anhui today, the majority is still in the hands of a few families, although there is no name of the Yueluo family, but who knows that there is no figure behind them? Feng Wujing simply stood up, almost gritting his teeth and spit out a sentence, "Lao Jiu, you remember one sentence, now we have too many constraints to be arbitrary, so we have to think twice before acting." ”

Feng Wuxian sighed heavily, and just when the two of them were helpless, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Two highnesses, there is a person who claims to be the old man of Huainan who asks to see him, and he said that he once had a relationship with the two highnesses. ”

Feng Wujing couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at Feng Wuxian, who was also full of doubts, before asking: "This king doesn't remember that he has an old friend he knew in Huai'an, and if you go to reject him, you will say that this king has an important position and does not dare to meet guests easily." "Feng Wujing is cautious by nature, and it is better for these unknown people to have less contact with each other, so as not to get into trouble. Since the elder brother was not interested, he didn't bother to pay attention to Feng Wuxian, and continued to drink sullenly by himself.

The little guy outside the door agreed, left for a while and hurriedly replied: "Back to His Royal Highness, the man claimed to be surnamed Yun, said that he was an old acquaintance of the two, and said that he had written off the account for the two. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Feng Wujing and Feng Wuxian suddenly remembered this thing, when the two of them first arrived here, they also secretly went to sell the gold cave, and once they did not bring the capital to wrap their heads, and finally they were almost detained by the bustard, but fortunately, a merchant surnamed Yun met the money for the two. Afterwards, Feng Wujing also sent his subordinates to look for him, but he never found the right owner, so he had to give up, and he didn't expect this person to come to the door today.

"Starling, this person is extraordinary, you might as well meet him, there is nothing important to deal with horizontally and vertically."

Feng Wuxian glanced at his brother and suggested in a low voice.

"Okay, please ask that Mr. Yun to come here." Although the river governor Wuping was not in the yamen, Feng Wujing did not want to be too ostentatious, he was very curious, this person generously cleared the accounts for the two of them, disappeared for more than a month and came to the door again, I don't know what the idea was.

"The grass people, Yun Qianshan, knock on the two highnesses." As soon as the man came in, he was a big gift, which immediately made the two young princes very good. Those provincial gentry who came and went before, conceited that they had a huge net worth or had a good relationship with a famous family in the capital, they were often extremely arrogant in front of the two, and they were a little reluctant to salute, so respectful as this person. Looking at this person's age of more than forty years old, he looks dignified, his eyebrows are full of spirit, and there are a few long strands of beard under his chin, which looks full of curly, and he doesn't look like such a cunning villain at first glance.

"The grass people have long admired the names of the two highnesses, but they have never had the opportunity to meet, and yesterday they met two old friends, only to learn that there was a relationship in the past, so they took the liberty to visit, and asked the two highnesses for forgiveness."

Yun Qianshan finished his words and saluted again, and his respectful demeanor greatly satisfied the vanity of the two princes, so he also politely invited him to sit down. Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Chapter 5 Party Struggle Chapter 40 Heart-to-heart
