As the emperor flicked his sleeves away, the civil and military officials looked at King Jing's gaze, and there was something strange.

Twenty days later is Chinese New Year's Eve, and after Chinese New Year's Eve, it will be the emperor's fiftieth birthday, and it is definitely not a good errand to lead troops out of Beijing at this time. There are even more people who slap horses, surrounded around King Han, and you are saying flattering words to me.

King Han couldn't hide the pride in his heart, looked at Yan Shuyuan raised his eyebrows, and said in a loud voice: "This Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the second brother should take care of himself, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and the soldiers are chaotic, so he needs to go early and return early, so as to save his father and the emperor from worrying." When worshipping ancestors, I will kowtow a few more times for my second brother. ”

King Jing looked at King Han fixedly, his face was blue, and he walked away, and Shi Jie, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly followed, and then more than a dozen courtiers withdrew from the hall.

At the same time, in a certain dormitory in the palace, a person who looked like a eunuch whispered a few words in Queen Su's ear.

Queen Su half-closed her eyes, a smile on her face was even bigger, and said leisurely to the visitor: "Spread the word to the Su family, these days have been restrained for me!" ”

……

Late at night, in the study of the Shen Mansion, Shen Jungong stood in front of the desk, patiently waiting for his father to finish writing this pair.

After a long time, Shen Ping put down the brush, took the towel handed by his son, wiped his hands and said, "Sit down, I already know about this, tell me your opinion." Update 41st The other foot was pulled out, and Shen Jun pondered for a moment and said: "Father, seeing that the New Year is approaching, the dignified prince was actually sent to Huguang to suppress bandits, there are so many capable people in the military department, which one is not a talent to lead the army?" Moreover, today's birthday is imminent, officials from all over the world flock to Beijing, but King Jing is forced to stay away from the capital. I'm afraid it's not good. Father, is our Shen family ......?"

Shen Ping glanced at his son coldly.

Shen Jun knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Today in the court." Jinshang clearly knew that the household department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were the people of King Han, and actually asked them to check the disaster relief funds, and the discerning people looked like they were going through the motions, father, could it be that things have changed? ”

Shen Ping shook his head and sighed: "You, you still see too shallowly. I'll ask you, two months ago. Lao Qing made a fuss in front of him, and then his grandson-in-law Xu Hongyuan entered the household. Ren Hu Guangqing Division History, whose world is the household department? ”

"King Han!"

"King Han and Prince Lao Qing have already fallen out because of their marriage, and King Lao Qing voted for King Jing. Xu Hongyuan has always been a person of King Jing, at this time, he entered the household department and served as the secretary of Huguangqing, do you think there is something strange in it? ”

Shen Junyou was puzzled: "What's wrong? ”

Shen Ping glanced at him in disappointment and sighed: "King Jing's people have entered the household department, and there is no pressure from Jinshang in secret, do you say that with King Han's person, will King Jing's people come in?" Who doesn't know that the household department is King Han's money bag. Which side of the history of the Qing Division can't be. It's Huguang again, do you say that today's move is unintentional, or is it intentional? Update 41st The other foot was pulled out, and Shen Jun groaned and did not speak.

"Think again. In this summer's floods, who will be sent by Huguang and Guangzhou to provide disaster relief? ”

"Sun Shangshu's son Su Mingjie!"

"Do you guess Su Mingjie's ass was clean on this trip to Huguang, or did he poop?"

Shen Jun was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Father, you mean ......"

Shen Ping shook his head and sighed, "Five million taels." Hmph, the silver of the white flowers is in front of you. I don't believe that the Su family can not be moved! Jun'er, you're also in your early forties, and you can't just look at the surface, you have to see what's sinking underneath. The Su family, sooner or later, will be an outcast. ”

Shen Jun suddenly realized, and looked at his old father with respect.

Shen Ping stroked his beard and said: "Others only saw that King Jing was forced to leave Beijing during the Chinese New Year, and a few of them could understand that this was an opportunity to build momentum for him." For the way of the king, save the people first, think of the peace of the country, and accumulate virtue and righteousness. As long as King Jing settles Huguang and ascends to the sky in the future, the people will be righteous. Wonderful, wonderful! ”…

Shen Jun stared at his father's wrinkled face and was speechless for a while.

Shen Ping looked at his son with a complicated expression and said, "Do you know how to act in the future?" ”

Shen Jun thought for a moment, and said slowly: "My son thinks that Xu Langzhong is a former detective, and his knowledge is very comparable, if he gets the opportunity, his son wants to get acquainted with one or two, and discuss together how to discuss this article on disaster relief!" ”

Shen Ping nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tell your daughter-in-law, the Zhang family has been sick for the past few months, and she is a filial child who gets up early and goes to bed late." The Ye family takes care of the two children, and their energy is inevitably limited, and from tomorrow, half of the housekeeper power of the Shen Mansion will be handed over to the Zhang family. ”

Shen Jun was secretly startled, and he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.

Shen Ping turned a blind eye, and only sighed long: "Since one foot wants to go forward, the other foot has to be pulled out, and dragging mud and water will cause you to fall on your heels." Go ahead, and do as I command you. ”

After his son left, Shen Ping leaned on the Taishi's chair, his facial features were hidden in the dark, his expression was unpredictable, and he did not move for a long time.

……

In the study of Xiao Mansion, Xin Yao looked at a room of people, and lowered her eyes slightly, what a good day is it today, everything that should come is here, it is really complete!

Xiao Han greeted her, took off the big cloak with raw edges in the frost-colored brocade red silk for her, threw it to Weiyun behind her, and said with a solemn expression: "Let Guisheng, Guiming watch at the gate of the courtyard, and no one is allowed to approach without my permission." ”

The corner of Weiyun's eyes slightly, seeing the people sitting in the room, he quickly lowered his head in fright, withdrew from the door, and gently closed the door with both hands.

Xin Yao stepped forward, looked at Yan Huanyuan Yingying at the top of the house, and said with a smile: "As soon as the second brother came, this small study suddenly shone brightly. ”

Yan Songyuan saw that he was wearing a moon-white blue-edged embroidered orchid pattern jacket and a white embroidered long skirt.

Slim and elegant, with an extraordinary demeanor, where can you see that it is a person who is pregnant.

Then he smiled and said, "Brother and sister don't have to be polite, sit down." ”

Xin Yao walked to Xu Hongyuan's side with a smile, saluted, and called out glutinously: "Little uncle!" ”

Xu Hongyuan gave him a hand, saw that his face was ruddy, and nodded lightly: "Sit down and talk!" ”

Du Tianxiang saw Jiang Xinyao sitting still, lost the teacup, and walked to him.

Xin Yao knew that he had this habit, so she didn't say anything, and obediently stretched out her hand.

Du Tianxiang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Cousin-in-law, everything is in order!" ”

Jiang Xinyao's face was slightly red, and she threw a grateful look at her.

Du Tianxiang remembered the performance of the pair of grandchildren at the beginning of pregnancy, the corners of his mouth curled, and he just wanted to joke a few words, but suddenly remembered that the second brother was behind him, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he swallowed his saliva and sat down obediently.

Xiao Han knew that the second brother didn't have much time, so he told everyone about today's affairs in the court.

After finishing his words for a while, the study fell into silence, and even Du Tianxiang, who liked to laugh the most, straightened his face with a solemn expression.

Jiang Xinyao sat quietly beside Xiao Han with a hand stove, squinting her eyes, her eyes were out of focus, and she was obviously in deep thought.

Yan Songyuan looked at everyone's expressions, picked up the teacup, drank two sips, and then said: "The incident happened suddenly, I will leave Beijing early in the morning after tomorrow, and this trip will take a month or two at the earliest." Although my brother and sister are women, their intelligence is higher than that of men, so I have brought them here today because the stakes are very high, and we must have a good discussion on what to do next. ”

Du Tianxiang said thoughtfully: "Second brother, today's birthday is coming, is it appropriate to let you go to Huguang at this time?" ”

Yan Songyuan sighed slightly: "I know that my father wants to build momentum for me, after all, I don't live long, I don't live in the heir, only with a virtuous word, can I inherit the unification in a straightforward way, this errand, if done well, not only won the hearts of the people, but also has meritorious service, and the best time to do it." It's hard for him to think so carefully about me in just a cup of tea. ”…

Xiao Han was silent for a moment and said: "With just a few words, we don't know what Huguang is messed up into. These two places are the same as Jiangnan, they are the territory of King Han, second brother, bring more secret guards by your side, there is no room for mistakes at this time, when necessary, he is in the light, you are in the dark. ”

Yan Songyuan's eyes were deep, and he nodded: "For dinner today, my father rewarded a bowl of jade tofu soup to the mansion, implying that I need to secretly find out clearly and clearly the matter of the local officials in Huguang helping the Su family to be greedy for ink and silver." These two places are all King Han's people, and this hard bone is not easy to gnaw. If I am not careful, I will have a hard time for my father. ”

It is necessary not only to find out the truth about the rebellion and put down the rogues, but also not to hurt the innocent people, but also to straighten out the intricate network of relations between the local officials in this area and find out where the disaster relief funds are going.

Xiao Han glanced at Xin Yao and said lightly: "Second brother, if not, I'll go with you." ”

Yan Songyuan shook his head and said: "No need, the capital is mixed, and the cumbersome is better than Huguang, without you in Beijing, I don't feel at ease." ”

Xin Yao suddenly said loudly: "Li Gang's ancestral home is Hunan, and after his mother died of illness, he helped the coffin back to his hometown, and now he has been worried for nearly three months. This is the abandoned son of King Han, although he is loyal to King Han, he must be a little unwilling, if the second brother can take him for his own use, Huguang and Guangzhou, all of them will live. ”

As soon as this plan came out, everyone in the house only felt that their eyes lit up.

Du Tianxiang patted his forehead and sighed: "Good idea, why didn't I think of him!" ”

Yan Songyuan was overjoyed and said: "Good plan, brother and sister, it's really a good plan." ”

Xu Hongyuan glanced at his niece with approval, but smiled silently.

Xiao Han secretly took Xin Yao's hand and stroked it gently, but said to Xu Hongyuan: "In this way, the second brother's trip is not a big deal. It's just that this disaster relief silver is one thing, how do we act here? ”

Xu Hongyuan said in an orderly manner: "Second brother, I have investigated the account books in the past ten years, and the books are fake, and the discrepancies are huge, and this place alone collects no less than two million taels of wealth for King Han every year." This year's account book alone is particularly complicated, and it is estimated that it will take three to five days. ”

"Well done, Ah Yuan!" Yan Songyuan praised it very rarely.

When Du Tianxiang heard this number, he gasped, and said in a strange manner: "Strange that over the years, all the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army have eaten well, dressed well, and farted with the smell of meat, and their feelings have come from here. It's really bold! (Miss Jiang Si.) /0/602/)--
