Chapter 457: Ask the Heart 2
Murong Chong rarely wandered on the early dynasty, or never.
Today, however, is an exception.
Bright red silk always comes to mind, as well as the smart, cunning, delicate and lovely but fierce and decisive Lin Ruo.
Fortunately, Murong Chong has very few expressions in front of outsiders, and he has always been accustomed to having a straight face, a non-smiling and solemn appearance, and it will not make people see that he is absent-minded, so the famous Prince Rong is so in front of the emperor and hundreds of officials, and he wanders out of the world in a grand manner.
However, even if he didn't give up, Murong Chong still noticed a few major events in the morning today:
The first thing is related to Su Muyu. In the battle with Beiqi, Su Muyu only had a reward, but did not increase the official, until today, the emperor issued an order to mention Su Muyu's official title - the head of the criminal department. The head of the criminal department is in charge of the prison and the prisoner, which is the fulfillment of Su Muyu's long-standing wish, from the temporary position of the military department to the criminal department that can really let him play his strengths. But the meaning behind Emperor Mingzong's arrangement also made the hearts of people with a heart a little clear: the family affairs of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion and the Jingping Marquis Mansion are afraid that it is also a certainty. However, with Su Muyu's current official position, it is not the turn of the early dynasty, and this honor was received by his father, Marquis Su of Jingping.
The second thing is related to Gu Ting. The marriage between Gu Manni and Song Huanchu was set at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last year, and now it has been more than half a year and there has been no follow-up, and Song Huanchu is in Beijing at this time, but he rarely goes to the door of the Ministry of Officials Gu Mansion again, which is tasteful, and the Gu Ting family, who has finally improved a little, has become the object of ridicule by many people in private. Fortunately, the matter finally came to an end, and Song Huan Chu, the envoy of Xishu, Prince Zhan, submitted a letter and set a date for the wedding - in September. Gu Ting, who got the exact news, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The third thing is that the prince and Zhang Xu handed over the recital one after another, stating the recent situation of Shangyu, and describing the method of green seedlings, hoping to choose a pilot place with this method. The prince who just liked the children of the dragon and phoenix was in good spirits on happy occasions, and this green seedling method was deduced by the staff in the palace in detail, and was corrected and repaired by Zhang Xu and Li Yan, two talented people who already had complete ideas, and the pros and cons were clear, which caused everyone to be surprised. King Ye and the ministers who were attached to King Ye had the intention to find faults, and the prince resolved them one by one with confidence. The prince, who has always been regarded as mediocre and cautious, seems to have suddenly changed a person, pointing out the country with ease in the upper reaches of the court, refuting and justifying the defenses, so that everyone is impressed, including Emperor Mingzong.
The crown prince raised his eyebrows justifiably, looking at Ye Wang Tieqing's face, he was even more proud in his heart, of course, the trust in Zhang Xu and Li Yan in his heart added a little bit, especially to Zhang Xu.
After the early dynasty, the emperor also specially left the crown prince, Zhang Xu, and several pavilion elders and Shangshu to move to the imperial study to continue to discuss matters related to the Qingmiao Law, but King Ye was not among them. Especially when the crown prince passed by him, he gave him a provocative smile, which made King Ye's face even more embarrassed.
is also uncomfortable, and Shen Di, the head of the household. As the prince's father-in-law, and in charge of the household department, the "green seedling law" is indispensable for the smooth implementation of the household department; If the "Green Seedlings Law" is implemented well, the problem of the emptiness of the national treasury can be easily solved. However, before that, he did not get the slightest information about the "Seedlings Law", what does this mean?
He had obviously asked the prince for help, hoping that the other party would read it on Concubine Shen's face, and also on the Shen family's love for the prince, and reach out to help.
The prince helped, but it was a complete way to hide from him.
Moreover, the prince clearly knows that if the allocation of "green seedlings" is led by the household department, then the oil and water in it are more than a decimal? It is definitely not less filial than the businessman Lu family on King Ye's side! However, what did the prince say in the recital?
"The imperial court cannot compete with the people for profit, otherwise it will inevitably cause criticism from the people, criticize the scholars for collecting money, and cause the businessmen to be depressed." Can't let the literati and writers denounce the court for only profit in the eyes of the court, nor can they rob the livelihood of the businessmen who originally made a living by lending, let them hold a grudge, okay, for the sake of the face of the court, this truth is acceptable to Shen Di.
However, what is the meaning of "it is also possible to put an end to those who are unkind to officials to enrich their own pockets for personal gain, and even collude with officials and businessmen to prey on the common people, and change the good way of governing the world into a heavy burden of harsh government, so that the people are full of grievances and affect His Majesty's reputation"? Who is this scolding around the corner!
Who is he risking money for!
In the end, it was such a stigma!
Shen Di was so angry that he couldn't show it, so he could only keep a strained face and follow his colleagues to the imperial study with resentment.
Murong Chong, who was not sent to the imperial study together, was relaxed, and after bowing his head to his colleagues, he left the palace. Thinking that he would be able to go back to his house to see Lin Ruo soon, his heart was overjoyed, but someone didn't let him get his way, and the street stopped him.
Murong Chong frowned slightly, and looked at the other party unhappily: "Get out of the way." ”
Careful eyes, looking up and down at the philistine man in front of him, he looks like a ruffian who is wandering in the streets and alleys, and has no martial arts background, but dares to block his way?
"Lord Rong, stop your anger, stop your anger!" The man in the short riding coat smiled flatteringly, "My master has been waiting for the prince in the private room on the second floor for a long time, and he has some things about Princess Rong, and he wants to inform the prince, please ask the prince to move." ”
Something to do with Ah Ruo?
Seeing that Murong Chong was silent, the man added mysteriously: "Lord Wang, my master said that if you miss this news, you will definitely regret it when you look back!" ”
Murong Chong raised his head and looked at the second floor of the restaurant on his side, and finally fixed his gaze on the second window at the end, through the gap in the window lattice, he couldn't see it clearly, but he clearly felt that when he looked in that direction, a figure flashed away.
Who is it? It doesn't look like a calm one.
If it's on the side, it's fine, but if it's related to Ah Ruo, it may even threaten her safety...... Murong Chong pondered for a moment, and said to the ruffian-looking man who was still smiling, "Lead the way." ”
The man originally saw that Murong Chong had no reaction, and was worried about how to continue to persuade, but he didn't want the other party to give the answer he wanted neatly, so he immediately smiled even more, nodded his head, and led Murong Chong into the wine shop, climbed the ladder, and went straight to the destination.
Murong Chong's steps were steady, and he stopped at the door of Yaju: sure enough, it was the second room in the end.
Yaju's door was pushed open, and a girl dressed in a blue-gray dress, but it could be seen at a glance that it was a woman disguised as a man, saluted Murong Chong, and then threw a full money bag to the man who led the way. The man opened the purse and took a look, and the golden light made him grin with pleasure. I bit it through my purse, it was genuine, and I bowed my hand to the girl with satisfaction, and I left happily.
"Lord Rong, my son-in-law has been waiting for you for a long time, please."
The girl dressed as a man stretched out her hand and respectfully invited Murong Chong to come in, but Murong Chong stood motionless at the door, staring at the so-called "son" who was also dressed as a man in Yajuzhong, her face sinking like water.
"Miss Gu."
