King Cheng was envied by the princes sourly, and envied him for marrying Shen Jinqiao, or by holy decree.

And the Shen family is not like this, they thought that Shen Jinqiao was the princess of Ming, no matter how bad it is, Princess Xiang is not bad, why is it the most miserable Chengwangfu?

After all the princes set up the mansion, it is separate, although there is a column of silver in the palace, but there is a blood-sucking Xiao Guogong Mansion behind King Cheng, Xiao Guogongfu is a mud that cannot support the wall, and Chengwangfu is also deeply implicated, becoming a well-known 'poor' palace.

So even if Shen Jinqiao married a princess, but seriously, few people envy her.

Among all the princes, King Cheng is the least competitive, he has no backer, and there is even the burden of Xiao Guogong's mansion.

If you are not competitive, you will be average, and if you are average, you will be poor......

Except for the title of the prince himself, the others, no matter how miserable they look, and Shen Jinqiao was actually married to him, which is definitely a bad thing and has been retributed.

In the past two days, when they met Shen Jinxi and Mrs. Hu in the house, the two of them actually looked at Shen Jinqiao with extremely sympathetic eyes, and Mrs. Hu rarely did not scold her, and even took the initiative to ask Shen Jinqiao if she needed her help to do something.

Shen Jinqiao: "......" Does she really look so miserable?

Leng Yi secretly told her that now in the entire circle of celebrities, who can be worse than Shen Jinqiao, the discussion was fierce after dinner, and even Shen Jinqiao's miserable life after marriage was thought about for her.

Especially Feng Qiuyun and Yang Xueying, they have been walking with the wind these days.

Shen Jinqiao: "......"

Shen Jinqiao went out once, and after seeing with her own eyes what Leng Yi said about the heated discussion, she decided not to go to these banquets again before she got married, otherwise she would be the only one who would be embarrassed and embarrassed.

Although she doesn't care about the quality of Chengwangfu, she is said to be like that every day, which sounds too harsh.

It was the Duchess of Xiao Guo's Mansion who sent her a post and invited her to go to dinner, Shen Jinqiao didn't want to go, but she had to go because of her identity, in the end, it was Concubine De's maiden home.

Although the Xiao Guogong Mansion is not as dilapidated as the rumored houses, it is really cold, except for the main building, there are few superfluous precious ornaments in the house.

Duchess Xiao Guo is almost sixty years old, she looks rich and speaks politely, but after saying a few words, she began to inquire about how much dowry Shen Jinqiao brought and what kind of business the family had.

The two youngest sons of the Duchess of Guo, in their thirties, are already fathers, and when they came to see Shen Jinqiao, they actually stared at her obsessively, and their obscene gaze almost didn't make Shen Jinqiao attack on the spot.

Shen Jinqiao left with a blushing face, and she could see that this Xiao Guogong Mansion was broken from the roots, and it would definitely not be able to support the mud on the wall.

From now on, she would never set foot in this place again.

It is said that King Cheng has been helping the Duke of Xiao Guo, and these people seem to regard King Cheng as their own money bag, and they just take King Cheng's money, and they actually calculate how much money she can bring to them after she marries.

is so greedy, shameless, and shameless, it is comparable to the old lady of their Shen family, or even more excessive.

Such a blood-sucking relative, Cheng Wang is still offering?

Shen Jinqiao took a deep breath and was so angry that he almost didn't fall.

Yuzhu hurriedly helped Shen Jinqiao: "Master, are you okay?" Why don't we talk to Lord Hou, this is really unacceptable, if you marry the palace, won't you be sucked dry by the people of the Xiao Guogong Mansion in the future? ”

Shen Jinqiao sneered, showing a rare hint of anger: "What are you afraid of? It is his business for King Cheng to take over the Mansion of Xiao Guo, if he dares to do anything to my things, which hand dares to reach over, I dare to cut it for him. ”

Yuzhu: "......" She was worried in vain.

-----

Just when Sheng Jing was discussing the marriage between Shen Jinqiao and King Cheng, an urgent report of 800 miles was sent to the palace urgently.

Something happened in Liangzhou and Meizhou in the southwest.

It all started in May, when there was a great sweat in the southwest for two months, the fields cracked, the farmers were sunburned, and the drought was followed by floods.

At the beginning of July, after half a month of heavy rain, the southwest ushered in a heavy flood disaster that had not been seen for decades, and there was already no harvest, and now when the flood came, even the houses were washed away, and many people could not eat.

This matter was reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court immediately allocated funds for disaster relief, but it didn't want the silver to be embezzled layer by layer, and there was not much left in the disaster area.

How can I get relief without money?

In particular, Liangzhou and Meizhou were the most seriously affected, with tatters everywhere and starvation all over the ground, and a miserable appearance.

The officials embezzled the money, and could not save the people from fire and water, but they could not take any more money from above, so they could only suppress the disaster, but whenever anyone resisted, they would use coercive means to suppress it.

It is also because of their inhumane approach that they have forced many people to death, forced many people to fall into the grass, and many people directly gathered together to rob the homes of wealthy people.

Now the southwest is full of thieves and chaos.

The reason why the news was sent out was because there was a teacher in the southwest who was kind to the officials of the government, and in order to save the people, he wrote a letter and asked the officials to help send it to the post house, and stuffed the silver to ask people to travel several places before it was sent to a good official, and then 800 miles were sent to the palace urgently.

Emperor Xia was furious when he saw the letter, and almost vomited blood.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military hurriedly knelt down and begged him to take care of the dragon body and beg him to calm his anger.

Emperor Xia was very angry, but he couldn't help it, no matter how angry he was, he had to solve the matter first.

Local officials have been corrupt every year, but never before has it been so serious, greedy for money, forcing the people to death, forcing the people to rebel, this is simply an unforgivable crime.

Emperor Xia was furious and wanted to severely punish the officials and purge the southwest officialdom, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty naturally agreed, and then began to discuss how to deal with it.

The southwest has decayed, and people must be sent from the DPRK to the central government, who is the right faction?

In addition to solving the problem of corruption and embezzlement in the southwest, it is also necessary to win over the people's will, which will inevitably shake the foundation of the country.

Everyone discussed for a long time but could not have a result, and finally Prime Minister Wei stood up: "Your Majesty, the southwest officials protect each other, the people's hearts are unstable, according to Weichen's view, Your Majesty should send an official who can use thunder means to punish the corrupt officials in the southwest with iron and blood, and at the same time, you have to send a prince to accompany you, the prince is coming, and the people feel that the emperor's grace is vast, and it can stabilize people's hearts." ”

Prime Minister Wei's advice was immediately approved by many people, and then someone recommended several princes, King Fu, King Cheng, King Xiang, and King Ming were all recommended again, but they were vetoed by Prime Minister Wei.

"Weichen thinks that this matter is none other than His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has bathed in the sound of Buddha since childhood, if it is His Royal Highness, he will definitely be able to appease people's hearts, and the prince, as a prince, should stand up when the people need it most, so that the people can return to their hearts, fear the royal family, and make the Xia Dynasty more stable."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"
