Chapter 187: Military Might
When he returned to the palace, Emperor Wenyuan was furious, "I finally know that I am back, so I can take a bath comfortably!" ”
Gonggong Xu fell to the ground in fright, and said that he didn't dare, Emperor Wenyuan waved his hand, let everyone in the room withdraw, and didn't tell Gonggong Xu to get up, "Where is the child now?" ”
Gonggong Xu knelt on the ground, just one thought, I have to rub my knees when I turn around, I am old, and I really can't stand the bumps.
Gonggong Xu's essence-like figure, looking left and right, looking afraid that the wall would have ears, Emperor Wen Yuan glared at him, "Get up and talk back." ”
Gonggong Xu hurriedly got up, leaned into Emperor Wenyuan's ear, and muttered for a while, Emperor Wenyuan's brows first furrowed, then stretched, then frowned, and finally twisted without bounds, "Are you sure?" ”
Gonggong Xu nodded again and again, "That's right, I took it back to the house on the same day, and there is a mole on the back shoulder, and there is Mei Xue to testify, so I can't be wrong." ”
Emperor Wen Yuan looked at Gonggong Xu coldly, "You dare to protect the person I ordered to kill?!" ”
Gonggong Xu's face turned white in fright, but he didn't kneel, "Your Majesty, the slave has persuaded you earlier, what kind of person is the first queen, the prince loves her more than himself, if the queen really intends to connect with the king, will the prince still help the emperor pass on the message?" Besides, the queen was pregnant with Liujia that day, and she was about to give birth, so she didn't even dare to take a few more steps, how could she not cherish herself and King Lian's private ...... There is also the eldest prince, when you were a child, you and the emperor were carved out of the same mold, and you can tie the emperor's rope, pile piles, all show that the first queen was wronged, even the king and you are your own siblings, he gave up the queen that day, how could he go back on his word? Pity such a small county king, even after the decline of the palace, his temperament is ...... withdrawn. ”
Emperor Wen Yuan's face became worse and worse, his eyes became more and more cold, there was a kind of bloodthirsty coldness, Gonggong Xu was a little afraid, and turned sideways to avoid his eyes.
This night. How many people in the palace can't sleep at night, first of all, the princess, lying on the bed tossing and turning, how can she not sleep steadily.
Zhao's mother opened the curtain and came in. Seeing her sitting on the bed, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why doesn't the princess sleep at this time, but she has something in her heart?" ”
As he spoke, he took a big pillow embroidered with pine cranes and gave it to the princess to lean on, and lit two candles in the room, listening to the princess call for tea, Zhao's mother turned around and said, "If you drink tea at night, you won't be able to sleep well, if the princess is thirsty." Just drink some water. ”
The princess didn't say no, so Mother Zhao poured a cup of tea, the heat and cold were moderate, the princess drank it all, and gave her the teacup. "My heart is fluttering, I always feel that something is going to happen, these days are too abnormal."
Mother Zhao helped her fold the quilt and said with a smile, "The princess thinks too much, and the second young master is obedient and smart when she is young." How can it be abnormal? ”
The corners of the princess's mouth moved slightly, she didn't dare to say something she wanted to say, Mother Zhao was her mother and her confidant, but it was a matter of rebellion, and she was not careful. That's the end of being shattered, one less person knows that there is less danger, "It's okay, what happened to the sixty-four stools?" ”
Mother Zhao glanced at the princess and sighed. "Princess, the old slave has a lot of words, we are afraid that we have been calculated by the princess of the county, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to make money every day on the water side, the princess of the county said so refreshingly, although there is no lack of anger, but you can also see, one down, how much silver money did the three wives spend to get in, adding up to almost ten thousand taels of silver, and there are so many stools left, it will be more difficult than one in the future, and the money is afraid that it will be lost."
Zhao's mother thought of going down today, the three wives were happy, and the princess also wanted to get involved, but she was ridiculed by the fourth wife, the huge family business of the palace was not enough, and it was too bad to fight with them, and the princess choked angrily, and it happened that the rice in the granary was finished, and the princess turned around and went back to the house, and the three of them made a fuss.
The princess thought, and a sneer curled at the corner of her mouth, "Those three can't wait for me to give them all the palace, and when they see a bargain, they want to take advantage of it, and they deserve to be pitted!" ”
Mother Zhao nodded again and again, "There is a prince staring at the water side, and there is the emperor on it, although it is a day to make money, but when you turn back to the treasury there is a shortage of silver, maybe you will take it from there, I heard that the princess of the county took the water side to exchange melon seeds and peanuts, and the emperor sent dozens of catties, which can be seen staring at our Zhennan Palace." ”
The princess's face was soothing, she didn't plant much silver in it, but it was more than a hundred taels, she didn't understand that those stools were so difficult to fill, and when she heard that she was talking about the night, she was full of confidence!
The princess of the county, you really can't underestimate it.
The princess was glad that the eldest lady over there couldn't sleep because of the pain, so she covered her heart and liver, "Five thousand taels, it cost five thousand taels in one afternoon!" ”
The mother on the side comforted, "Madam, as long as you get it on the water side, it is worth spending more money." ”
The eldest lady thought of the 1.6 million taels, and her mood was a little better, and she was also stunned in the afternoon, so she only cared about filling the stool and didn't give money, so she told the maid to hurry up and move the food, for fear of being preempted by the third and fourth wives, and when the shopkeeper counted the rice money, she was not almost stunned, there were so many!
The eldest lady asked the maid to take out the bottom of the pressure box, and there were 10,000 taels and hundreds of taels of loose money in it, and she fell into a headache for a while, and the money was not enough.
The eldest lady's head collapsed all afternoon, it hurt badly, the maid persuaded for a while, and was about to rest, when suddenly the door was slammed open, which scared her a lot, and the sleepiness that was not easy to brew suddenly disappeared, and the eldest lady was about to scold, so she listened to the maid's trembling invitation, "I've seen the master." ”
The eldest lady can scold the maid at will, but she doesn't dare to scold the eldest master, and the eldest lady has a good temper, and has never kicked her door, what's the matter today, the eldest lady is busy getting out of bed, and when she sees the eldest lady's face is blue, she can't help but panic, "Didn't the lord go to the banquet on the water side, why did he come back?" ”
On the water side, it is innocent, not the kind of place where the three are indiscriminate, at most it is to play mahjong, and on the water side, it is clear that it will not provide loans, and the most that you lose is to lose the money in your purse, and it will not make people bankrupt, so she can rest assured.
It's just that the eldest man went out happily, but came back with a blue face, and the eldest lady was frightened and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The eldest man raised his hand, and slapped it over, the eldest lady was stunned, and tears rolled in her eyes, "I did something wrong, you want to do this to me!" ”
"What did you do wrong? You still have the face to ask. Greed is not enough to swallow elephants, causing me to be laughed at by my colleagues! The eldest lord's face was gloomy, and he looked at the eldest lady with an ice blade in his eyes.
The old man has lost his face this time, and he was so noisy in the afternoon. Kyoto's major grain shops sent grain to Zhennan Wangfu, hundreds of soldiers carried grain through the streets and alleys, Zhennan Wang's wives exchanged grain for water A gust of wind blew all over Kyoto, he went out, and several colleagues came up to curry favor with him and invited him to drink, he was happy for a while, so he followed, and ate good food for a long time, and took a hot bath. pinched his shoulders and planned to play mahjong again.
The wishful thinking of those people was to wait for him to get the water in his hand, and let them participate in it, and the eldest man was full of food and drink, but he didn't feel dizzy and agreed. A fool would give such a golden cake to someone to gnaw, isn't this a fight haha.
Who would think, on the mahjong table, everyone is laughing and talking about this, and what's more, someone took this to open a gambling game, and the poison in the water side will not change the master tomorrow.
Almost all of them bet. Wait for tomorrow's bet, at this moment, the young master of the household servant ran over and laughed at them for being stupid.
At that time, it was a fuss, and there was almost no fight, and finally the young master of the Shilang Mansion explained it to everyone. This is an example of rice.
He realized how stupid they were!
At the latest, the fifteenth stool will cost one copper plate, and the sixteenth will cost two.
The twenty-fifth stool is one or two.
The thirty-fifth stool is a thousand taels.
The forty-fifth stool is a million taels.
At this point, the eldest master is already dumbfounded, and those who bet on changing masters are also dumbfounded. They didn't expect a few grains of rice to become like this, this is still the forty-fifth stool, and when they wait until sixty-four, they don't know what a terrifying number.
The people who began to envy him still gloated, "I said that for the sake of a hundred taels of gold, how could the princess of the county who dared to smash the prince of the county be so happy to hand over the water side, it turns out that the pit is here, if anyone gives me so much money, I will build ten more and give it to him on the side of the water!" ”
"In fact, it can't be said that the princess of the county is treacherous, people dig pits, and someone has to be willing to jump into it, it won't be that the princess of the county thinks that she is too profitable on the water side, and her hand hurts to count the money, right?"
"Stealing chickens doesn't make rice!"
The eldest man listened to those words, and he couldn't wait to go into the hole, so he hurried back, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he couldn't help but slap the eldest lady.
You won't get that money back!
When the eldest lady heard what the eldest master said, her mouth trembled with anger, and she called a set of high-quality tea cups on the table to the ground, and her eyes were cold, "Slut!" ”
Linmoxuan, study.
Zhiwan was flipping through the account books, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, the corners of his mouth were pursed, "Taking one million taels is already a heart, and I also took one million million taels, even if the eldest prince didn't find it before, but now I find it, maybe one day the purple rope on Chen'er's wrist will be gone, I'm not a bad person, fighting is the court's business, don't worry about my!" ”
Hearing Zhiwan swearing, Bai Shao's forehead jumped, and she looked at Zhiwan in some surprise, Zhiwan didn't care, she now has the heart to kill!
The corners of Ye Guiyue's mouth twitched, and he also felt that what the prince had done was a little outrageous, "Don't worry, even for the 1.6 million taels, I won't let him be the prince." ”
"Hmph, a broken prince's position is worth 1.6 million taels?"
Bai Shao looked at the ceiling and rolled his eyes, the position of the prince is immeasurably valuable, how many people want to be the prince, if it is sold for 1.6 million taels, I don't know how many people will make up for it.
Ye Guiyue had nothing to say, "What should I do now, my father is on the way to the border pass, and I will send someone to chase the silver back?" ”
Zhiwan's stomach is evil, "It's strange to chase it back, your secret guards, are they loyal to you, or loyal to your father, in addition to being on the water side, there is also wine, which is also taken from me, even beef jerky, which is also counted on my head, and even directly in the name of the water side, I made an order of 30,000 taels with the Su family, and sent it directly to the border gate, I eat everything, I just don't suffer losses, I do everything, I just don't make wedding clothes for others!" ”
The more Zhiwan spoke, the more angry she became, Ye Guiyue walked over and pinched her nose, "Only this time this year, not in the future." ”
Zhiwan slapped his hand, "There are two if there is one, if the court does not use the treasury to pay for the silver, the generals can still make meritorious contributions, if I am the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty, I will fight every year!" Beat me to the broil! ”
Bai Shao burst out laughing, and when she saw Zhiwan coming over, she pursed her lips and tidied up the desk silently, but her shoulders were still shaking.
The door creaked open, and Leng Mu came in and said, "Princess Jun, the eldest lord has returned, and the eldest lady already knows that she can't fill sixty-four stools." ”
Zhiwan nodded her head, Leng Mu retreated, and Bai Shao looked at her puzzled, "Why don't you take care of them well?" ”
"I'm happy to rectify them, but tomorrow the price of food in Kyoto will rise, and then everyone may be complaining about me," Zhiwan said aggrievedly, she was not really hard-hearted, ignoring those poor people, and also punished a few wives, if there were more, she would definitely come to Linmoxuan to trouble her, she didn't want to trouble herself.
Ye Guiyue took down Zhiwan's hand, rested it on Beacon Mountain, and said with a smile, "It's late at night, it's time to sleep." ”
Zhiwan raised his eyes and glanced at him, a shy smile flashed in his eyes, and he was very excited when he saw it, but in the next second, the smile froze at the corner of his mouth, "Bai Shao, help the prince of the county make the bed in the study." ”
With that, he got up and left.
Bai Shao stood there, looking at Ye Guiyue, who couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't dare to make the bed, she better go back to the house.
Zhiwan went back to the house and washed his face, took off his coat and went to bed, but before he closed his eyes, a hot body lay on his side, and before she could react, he pressed her under him and looked down at her, "Really angry?" ”
His smile was doting, and the evil phoenix eyes reflected himself, and he was stunned for a while, until a mellow and hoarse laugh came from his ears, and he reacted, and immediately blushed, even more ashamed, "I'm just angry!" ”
Caressing her smooth forehead, Ye Guiyue smiled and asked, "How can I not be angry?" ”
Zhiwan didn't speak, it didn't seem to be particularly angry, Ye Guiyue imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and said with a smile, "Father is also doing this for our good, although there is Zhennan Wangfu on the water side, it is not difficult to gain a foothold, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be impeached by the imperial history because of extravagance, in addition, Zhennan Wangfu has the backing on the water side, and on the battlefield, the soldiers will not lose their fighting spirit because they have no salary, and the treasury is empty, but Zhennan Wangfu has money, and this money is earned by the little prince and little county lord born to the princess of Yuejun, invisibly, The soldiers remembered Chen'er Si'er in their hearts, and when Chen'er grew up, his martial arts were good, his talent was extraordinary, and he had Zhennan Wangfu as a backer, as well as a lot of silver, as long as he entered the military camp, he was definitely a figure who raised his arms and shouted, and the three armies were shocked, this is the military prestige, Chu Pei grew up with me, how did I not know that I was aiming for the throne, he would not rob it with Chen'er, and he couldn't grab it. ”
Zhiwan stretched out his hand to push him, "I don't have to be the emperor of Chen'er, you are sure that Chen'er will have good martial arts in the future, and his talent will be extraordinary, what if he is ......a gentleman like you." ”
The rest of the words were swallowed up before they were spoken, and only the silence remained, but the beauty of the room.
The bright moon outside the window couldn't bear to look at it, and hid in the clouds in shame.
