Chapter 196: You Know Him Pretty Well
Ling Tiancheng's arms were empty, and he hadn't recovered from the enthusiasm just now, he only looked at Zhuang Siyan in a daze.
But she looked serious, or calmly asked again: "Zhuang Siyan and your childhood sweetheart in the past, so what you like is her, right?" ”
Ling Tiancheng couldn't deny this: "Yan'er, my thoughts about you have not changed, you should know this." ”
Zhuang Siyan smiled, she tried her best to make an expression that she didn't care too much, but this feeling of knowing the truth was really unpleasant.
And she is not a person with deep emotions, she can't do it at all, and even because of Ling Tiancheng's words, she is a little irritable, and her words rush out: "No, I'm different from her, this person has changed, haven't you noticed?" In the past, Zhuang Siyan was the fourth lady of Zhuang Xiangye's family, and I am a person who comes from a different place, has a different personality, and has completely different preferences from her, you had better think clearly, otherwise, I don't think this child will be born, right? ”
After speaking, he was still able to stand with his whole clothes on, and by the way, he took the account book on the table and walked out of the Xuan Palace.
Ling Tiancheng was stunned for a while before he suddenly reacted.
What happened to his Yan'er today?
It was fine just now, why did you suddenly say such a thing, and why did you suddenly become angry like this?
Rao is Ling Tiancheng is extremely smart, but he couldn't think of crossing this kind of bridge, but Zhuang Siyan's words just now still caused him to think deeply.
The person in front of him is too different from the person in the past, there are too many differences, what is wrong here, he doesn't know, but no matter what this person becomes, he will love her the same, this Ling Tiancheng is very sure.
He stood up from the soft couch, and her temperature seemed to remain on his fingertips, but the little man blew out like a gust of wind.
This kind of thing can't be delayed, he has to ask as soon as possible.
When Ling Tiancheng arrived at Baizhu Courtyard, Zhuang Siyan had only been back for a long time, and he was still angry.
For a while, I felt that I was a little nervous, and now the ducks are cooked, married, and slept, what is the use of dwelling on this?
The most terrible thing is that that person is still the emperor, unless she is really like Ye Yuanpei said, she can wear it back to modern times, otherwise she really can't escape from the palm of this person's hand.
Although Ling Tiancheng has not embarrassed her very much so far, he has been very tolerant most of the time.
That was when Zhuang Siyan said that he was consistent with him and was a family.
On the other hand, if she says that she wants to give him a green son and marry someone else, will the man who is extremely possessive and the boy Bara still be as chic as the wind blows?
Hey, hey, this kind of thing is annoying when I think about it, I used to envy those people who fell in love, but now I only find such a little feeling, I have a lot of worries, and even the matter of making money has been delayed.
Thinking so, he went to look at the book in his hand.
Originally, I wanted to find that person to ask about the things of the year, but now it collapsed, don't look for it again, it's better to go out and ask Wen Qing for a while, maybe he also knows.
Zhuang Siyan threw the account book aside and asked Ping'er to bring some snacks.
I didn't eat a piece, and Ling Tiancheng came.
He didn't force the previous question to ask again, but quietly instructed Li Fu a few words, and then walked towards Zhuang Siyan, sitting in a chair not too far from her, as if nothing had happened.
Not long after, Li Fu came back, followed by four palace people in the imperial dining room, each holding a plate of dim sum in his hand.
It was almost noon at this time, Zhuang Siyan overslept in the morning and didn't eat, and now he was really hungry, so as soon as he saw the food, he put his emotions aside and began to eat a lot.
Experts say that sweets make people feel better, and eating can also make people feel better.
Probably Ling Tiancheng was an expert who knew this well, and a few plates of dim sum, plus a cup of sweet and dense tea that he had brewed himself, had already extinguished all of Zhuang Siyan's previous anger.
She also held a small honey bag in her hand, and when she bit into it, the sweet smell filled the air, and people couldn't help but take a second bite.
After swallowing the entire small bag in his mouth, when Zhuang Siyan reached out to take the second one, he took the time to point to the account book on the table, and said, "Look at that." ”
Ling Tiancheng added tea to her, and then turned over the account book that she had roughly flipped through last night, and then asked her, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhuang Siyan swallowed the contents of his mouth and gave himself a Shao'an Don't Be Irritable Pill.
Those messes, love you and love me in advance, this case was promised to him before, check it first, and then calculate it later.
If so, her tone was much calmer, and she glanced at the account book and said, "Didn't you notice anything wrong?" ”
Ling Tiancheng shook his head, the account book left by the household department in Wenyuan Pavilion, even if something was wrong, he would find enough reasons to cover up the past, and he couldn't see anything on the surface.
But Zhuang Siyan asked: "Think about it again, you went to disaster relief a few years ago." ”
This was Ling Tiancheng's personal experience, and something went wrong again, and he naturally remembered it very clearly.
"I understand what you mean, when I went to disaster relief, I only pulled out gold, but there was no food or clothing, and except for that time, every disaster relief in the Dasheng Dynasty had these things."
Zhuang Siyan still admired his surprise, in the end, he didn't say anything, people remembered, and he wasn't very stupid!
"Then you didn't think there was a problem that time?"
Ling Tiancheng put down the account book, got up and walked a few steps indoors, as if sorting out his thoughts, and after a while, he spoke again: "There was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River that year, and there was a drought in the north of the Yangtze River.
And when the gold was plucked, it was not all to be given to the people, but half of it was to be used to buy food and clothing.
Therefore the amount was very large, and it was not used in official silver, as usual, but in gold. ”
Zhuang Siyan immediately asked: "Why did Jia Mingyuan provide disaster relief, and the imperial court would pull out food, and yours had to buy it yourself?" ”
Ling Tiancheng turned his head to look at her: "Yan'er doesn't know, in the years when my father was in power, there were disasters almost every year, either here or there.
There was no surplus grain in the granary in the palace, and there was little cloth, so there was nothing to take out for disaster relief. ”
Speaking of this, he thought that he had touched something, and said in a deep tone: "Even now, the treasury of the Dasheng Dynasty is not rich, but it is just a little better than in the past. ”
The emperor was really unlucky enough to do this, he couldn't even help his own people in distress, and even Zhuang Siyan sympathized with him a little.
Still, she asked, "If the treasury is so poor, and there is no food, where does so much gold come from?" ”
This really stopped Ling Tiancheng.
He had just returned to the palace from Zhuangfu at that time, and he didn't know anything about the inside story of this matter.
And he didn't pay much attention to the government before, because he knew that he didn't have a chance, so he simply didn't think about those things that didn't exist.
One thing I know is that when I decided to return to the palace, I made up for it temporarily, but you can imagine how far he is from those scheming ministers in terms of political strategy?
If everyone worked together to dig a pit and let him jump in, let alone a Ling Tiancheng, even if it was replaced by anyone at that time, he would have to jump down and fall to death.
It is not easy for him to live until now and become an emperor.
When Zhuang Siyan thought of this, he almost reacted online, and he thought of Wen Qing.
She immediately asked: "When did Wen Qing give up the throne to you, when did you decide to return to the palace, or later?" ”
Ling Tiancheng replied: "After my father died, I already had the heart to seize the throne at that time, he was the crown prince, and he would do it if he didn't let us." ”
When he said this, the expression on Ling Tiancheng's face was a little complicated.
Brother killing is a cruel thing, and he must not want to see it, but for the sake of this throne, he will still do it to his brother.
Thinking about Wen Qing's support for him now, it is estimated that his heart is also tormented, right?
"Then whose idea was it for you to go back to the palace?"
"Father, it's also me, at that time I had already begun to operate the relationship between the court, but I had been outside for a long time, and I had not been favored, so I could use very little, and I could still get a chance to return to the palace.
After all, he has been away for many years, and he is an adult, and he still has royal blood in the end, even if he can't return to the palace, he will be crowned a prince or something.
So my father agreed to this matter, made me king, and let me go back to the palace. ”
The rest of the matter, Ling Tiancheng told Zhuang Siyan before.
After Ling Tiancheng handled a few things beautifully, he had a keen sense of smell to perceive the difference in this prince, and when he was old, someone sent his daughter into his mansion.
That's when the concubine entered.
This kind of trouser relationship is hateful to say, but it has played an indispensable role since ancient times, even the current Ling Tiancheng is still using this relationship to control some people in the court.
The person who dug the pit for him also stood up at this time, seeing a deposed prince, others had forgotten his existence, but suddenly appeared again.
What would other princes think? And what do the ministers think? Everyone has their own camp, and if they are not in their own camp, they must be killed without mercy and never suffer in the future.
Ling Tiancheng understands these things, and Zhuang Siyan also understands.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Who supported the prince at that time?" ”
"Luo Ke, now that I think about it, Zhuang Changyuan should also be on his side, if Wen Qing really became the emperor, he might not be worse than me, maybe he would be better than me, after all, there are more people who support him."
Zhuang Siyan shook his head and smiled: "How is it possible, you don't know Old Man Zhuang's ambitions, he doesn't want to support Wen Qing, but wants to replace him."
It's just that at that time, he showed support, but he felt that he was weak and could be controlled.
I think Wen Qing probably knows very well that with his strength, he can't hold up the palm of Old Man Zhuang at all, so this emperor won't do it, just let it be given to you, and let you go to the head. ”
Ling Tiancheng looked at her and was silent for a moment before saying, "You know him very well. ”
Zhuang Siyan smiled: "It's not that I understand him, but I have a new understanding of this situation, and now it seems that only you can calm it, if you are someone else, maybe the Dasheng Dynasty will be in chaos a long time ago." ”
He didn't say anything more about Ling Tiancheng, and changed the topic and asked her, "So you suspect that this pit was dug by the people who supported the prince at that time?" ”
