Chapter 385, Confession
With Zhu Heng's words, Qian Yi also understood what he should do next.
Later, the nephew and uncle once again discussed the tax reform of the imperial court, but it was more accurate to say that Zhu Heng was learning the way of economics from Qian Yi rather than a discussion.
He had never been in contact with these mundane affairs in the past few years, and no one had taught him these, Qian Yi's words undoubtedly opened a door for him, and he realized that the way of economy is not as simple as yellow and white, it is related to the lifeblood of a country, the food, clothing, life and death of tens of millions of people, and whether the dragon chair of his father is stable.
Because he stayed to accompany his uncle for dinner, Zhu Heng and his entourage returned to the palace It was past the unitary time, after entering the palace, he first went to the Qianning Palace to see his father and the emperor, and informed his father and uncle that when he entered Beijing, the grain was also ashore and could be handed over.
When Zhu Xu heard that the eldest brother saw Zhu Heng first after entering Beijing, he couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and his gaze at his son was also a little cool.
Zhu Heng didn't care about this, he had already explained that it was a coincidence, believe it or not, if he said more, he would be suspected of deliberately clearing it up.
Back in Cining Palace, Zhu Heng went to see the Queen Mother again, and also informed the matter, the Queen Mother didn't suspect anything, but was a little worried, it was easy for the relationship between father and son to ease a little, the Qian family appeared at this time, and it would definitely open the old accounts, wouldn't it be a good thing to open the grandson's wound again.
"Are you crying?" The Queen Mother took a closer look at her grandson and found that her grandson's eyes had traces of crying, and she said distressedly.
"Back to the emperor's grandmother, my grandson finally understood today that blood is such a wonderful thing, a stranger who has never known his life, just because of the traction of blood, as soon as he met, he actually hugged his grandson and cried bitterly, and his grandson was moved by him and cried." Zhu Heng told the truth.
"And what did you all say?" The Queen Mother asked.
"That's too much, he asked me about my experience over the years, asked about my mother's condition, and I also asked him who else is in the Qian family, why he hasn't entered Beijing all these years, but what we talk about the most is the tax reform and the grain and grass deficit in the five cities in the north, my uncle has never understood that now there is neither war nor major famine, why there is such a big food gap in the imperial court."
The Queen Mother wanted to reproach her grandson, but she opened her mouth and closed it again.
The shortage of grain and grass cannot be hidden.
It is reported that rumors have long been flying all over the sky inside and outside the capital, although the Dali Temple trial did not involve Wang Bai, but these officials are not stupid, such a big crime, if there is no support from the commanders of the five northern cities, they dare to make such a big move?
Also, when Wang Bai made trouble at the court meeting before, he almost forced the emperor to stamp the food on the spot, who doesn't remember the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?
Fortunately, Concubine Yu had a difficult birth that day, and the emperor found a reason to hide.
Rao is like this, afterwards, Wang Bai did not talk less about Yu Bing's mother and son, saying that the emperor's pattern was small, and he became more affectionate with his children, and he actually left the Manchu Dynasty civil and military for a concubine, and the food and clothing of hundreds of thousands of troops on the border were not as important as the life of a concubine.
These words were later passed into the palace by people with a heart, not to mention that the emperor was unhappy when he heard it, even the queen mother herself was very angry, and even her love for the queen and queen was reduced by a few points.
This is still the case in the palace, let alone outside the palace, so why is there any need to hide it?
Besides, the Qian family donated 250,000 stone grain and grass, so they should always buy the right to know, right?
Instead of asking him to find out these news from the streets, it is better to let Zhu Heng tell him the truth.
"By the way, your relatives, shouldn't you be telling the truth?" The Queen Mother changed the subject and asked with concern.
She was worried that Qian Yi would know about it, and she would definitely talk to her family when she returned to her hometown, and it would inevitably not be passed on from person to person, which would affect not only Zhu Heng's relatives, but also the royal reputation.
On the other hand, the Qian family must not want Zhu Heng to marry a peasant girl, if the Qian family is willing to persuade Zhu Heng together, this matter can be fifty or sixty percent certain.
If the Qian family has another woman of appropriate age to send it, this matter should be seventy or eighty percent certain, Zhu Heng himself said that blood is a wonderful thing, and he should not object to letting him marry a cousin of his own, right?
As soon as she thought of this, the Queen Mother asked her grandson about the Qian family.
Zhu Heng didn't notice it for a while, and thought that the emperor's grandmother was Aiwu and Wu, but he also knew that everything was endless.
What Zhu Heng didn't know was that when he talked to the imperial grandmother about the Qian family, his father in the Qianning Palace also found Zeng Rong and asked about their nephew's meeting today.
When Xiao Quanzi came to look for Zeng Rong in the third office, Zeng Rong had just finished washing, and was rummaging through the cabinets to find a piece of fabric to make two clothes for his little nephew.
Today in Qianfu, in order not to disturb the nephew and uncle, Zeng Rong and Xiaoluzi stood in the courtyard for half an hour, and later learned that Zhu Heng was going to stay for dinner, she went to see the doctor from the side door, and then went back to Nanqing Hutong to visit her family.
The eldest brother has been a junior in an inn with the help of Uncle Qin, in addition to running errands, he also went to the stove room to help, this is what Uncle Qin meant, first follow the study for a year or two, and then have the confidence to do it alone.
The second brother went to the academy, and Ah Hua also went to Xu's house, but they didn't see each other.
Therefore, on this trip home, Zeng Rong only saw Chen and his little nephew Niannian, and the little things were very cute.
Probably due to habit, Chen still can't change the savings when he was in the countryside, not only he wears coarse cloth clothes, but also on his children, and the fancy and style are quite rustic, just like the dolls in the village.
Zeng Rong couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and then he was a little sad, so he thought about coming back and making two clothes for the child himself.
Hearing that the emperor was going to see her, Zeng Rong quickly guessed that it must be related to that Qian Yi, and she and Zhu Heng discussed it on the way back to the palace, whether they should confess this matter to the emperor.
said, the emperor must be reluctant in his heart, thinking that Zhu Heng deliberately went to see his uncle without him, Qian Yi entered Beijing and did not enter the palace to see him but saw Zhu Heng first, anyone will have suspicion in their hearts, not to mention, this time Qian Yi still entered Beijing with a mission.
Not to mention, the emperor must also know from other sources, since the last time they were disturbed by mad dogs on Qianmen Street, Zeng Rong guessed that someone had planted eyeliner next to Zhu Heng, otherwise, the other party would not have the ability to lay out the unpredictable prophet in advance.
Since he can't hide it, it's better for Zhu Heng to admit it himself, at least be frank, whether the emperor trusts or not is the emperor's business, Zhu Heng only does what he should do, and doesn't hand others a handle or a knife.
But this emperor wants to see her, Zeng Rong guessed that the emperor is still too careful.
Sure enough, after entering the Qianning Palace, Zhu Xu still repeated the old trick and dried Zeng Rong for a while, and he took the book to read it for review, and after about half a cup of tea, Zhu Xu put down the Zhu pen in his hand and looked at Zeng Rong.
Zeng Rong saluted again and waited quietly for the other party to ask.
