"The prince has been established, and my brother is cautious." Queen Wang felt a headache, "Could it be that my brother still thinks that my brother-in-law's family is not guilty enough, so he has to drag our family into the water?" ”

As soon as Wang Shouyi thought of the brother-in-law of the eldest grandson, he couldn't help sighing, and said in a soft tone: "The minister is dedicated to the sake of the queen. The queen didn't want to think about it, on the way to the Eastern Capital, who did the sage send to take care of the Nine Emperor Princes alone? To put it bluntly, the crown prince is abolished, and the same is true for the queen. In the past, the emperor abolished the queen and replaced the empress, only more than 70 years ago, the sage had already favored Concubine Wuxian, and among the princes, he loved the nine emperors the most, and gave him such a name...... Now that the Nine Emperor Princes are too young, it will be too late for the Nine Emperor Princes to grow up in the future, and the deep meaning of the saint will be announced to the world. When the Nine Emperor Princes become the crown prince, is she still willing to succumb to the position of the fourth concubine? ”

Queen Wang treats everyone in the harem leniently, treats every child as her own, but only maintains superficial peace for Concubine Wuxian, which is the reason. Now that he was told by his brother himself, Queen Wang stroked her lower abdomen, helpless and lost.

At this time, Princess Qingyang said: "The third brother is not a ruthless person, and the third sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much. If Concubine Wuxian is only the most favored, and the Nine Emperors are only the most loved by the third brother, in fact, it is nothing, among my brothers, Aya also likes the fifth brother the most, but is it not only the eldest brother who is the eldest son and the third brother who later made meritorious contributions as the crown prince? If it is really the successor of Jiangshan Sheji because of love, the courtiers will not agree in the first place, not to mention that the Wu clan at this time is no longer the Wu clan at that time. ”

Wang Shouyi thought for a while and said, "Then you can't sit still, right?" ”

Princess Qingyang laughed and said: "It's better to be still than to be still, people haven't done anything yet, the third sister-in-law is still the queen, why can't you sit still?" ”

Wang Shou has always said that he can't talk about his wife, so he has to look at the queen. The queen asked, "Brother, what do you want to do?" ”

Wang Shouyi had already moved his mind, but when he heard his sister ask, he didn't dare to say it. Princess Qingyang was also curious, seeing that her husband was struggling, and there was a look of apprehension and fear, and the sensitivity of being born in the royal family made her think of a terrible possibility. She first asked the only remaining outsiders in the palace to help add some tea, and then asked solemnly, "Do you want to...... Murdering the prince, right? ”

Queen Wang immediately patted the case and said: "Bold! My royal family has been loyal and good for generations, and I will never do such a thing that deceives the king and destroys people's morals! ”

Wang Shouyi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Don't dare!" Minister...... It's just to think about it, and I don't dare to do it, otherwise the minister will be blunt! ”

"You don't have the guts." Princess Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief, helped her husband up, and said angrily, "If you really dare, you will be exposed in the future, and even I will not be able to protect you." ”

Queen Wang felt a feeling of apprehension, and said, "This matter is over here, and I am not allowed to say it again." Although the Nine Emperors were born to Concubine Wuxian, they were also the sons of San Lang. I am Saburo's wife, the mother-in-law of the child, and the child is also my son, and I will not allow anyone to hurt him! If such a thing really happens, even if it is you, brother, I will only kill my relatives in righteousness, do you understand?! ”

Wang Shouyi hurriedly said: "Understood, understood!" Please calm the Queen's anger! ”

Queen Wang knew that her brother was worried about herself, all because she did not have a biological child, after all, it was her own fault, and she felt deeply remorseful. She softened her tone and said, "Brother, please rest assured." If Concubine Wuxian really moves her heart to win the heir in the future, I will definitely not allow her! ”

Wang Shouyi couldn't help but nod and said, "In this way, the minister can rest assured." ”

But less than a month after their conversation, Li Yi, the ninth son of the emperor, died of a sudden illness at the age of just over a year. Li Longji was very sad and posthumously named him the King of Xia, and his nickname was mourning.

Queen Wang confirmed several times that Li Yi was indeed sick and died, and at the same time repaired the family letter, so that Wang Shouyi must be honest before relieving his heart. Seeing Concubine Wu Xian's loss of soul after losing her son, although Queen Wang also felt the same way, she couldn't help but wonder if Concubine Wu Xian's grief was because she lost her own son, or because she lost a prince who could fight for her power?

Concubine Wu Xian didn't suspect that the children of the other concubines did not die young, but why was her child the only one who died after birth, and there was no one left? But no matter how she investigated, the two children were undoubtedly sick and dead. She couldn't help but be a little discouraged, could it be that she was destined to have no children? Then why didn't God just let her not give birth like he did for the queen? If she gave birth to a child, why did she take it away?

Is it wrong for her to want to be a queen? Is it wrong for her to want to be the mother of the future Son of Heaven? She wants to repeat the legend of Empress Zetian, is this wrong? She won't give up because of that!

Since the loss of Li Yi, Li Longji has lost a lot of fun, except for the court and the government, he only stays in the dormitory, revising all kinds of music scores in the past. This is what he wanted to do many years ago, anyway, state affairs were taken care of by Song Jing in an orderly manner, he didn't have to worry, and the others really didn't have any interest.

When Xiao Jiangyuan led people into the dormitory with food, Li Longji was sitting behind the imperial case and silently wrote something. On his left is a drum and drumsticks scattered on the ground, and on his right is a lute with an inky treasure pattern, sometimes he picks up the drumstick and knocks on the drum, sometimes picks up the lute and plays with it, and then continues to scribble on the imperial case.

Xiao Jiangyuan can't understand those songs, only knows whether they are good or not, so no matter what Li Longji asks her, she can't get the answer she wants. After a lot of times, Li Longji was a little unhappy, and Xiao Jiangyuan said: "Why don't you go and invite Concubine Wuxian over?" ”

Li Longji was silent and said, "It's okay." ”

After Concubine Wu Xian came, she revised the score with Li Longji. Li Longji said something, Concubine Wu Xian tried to play it with the pipa, and the two had nothing else to say, but they still had a tacit understanding. After the revision of the national music was completed, Li Longji suddenly said: "Yueniang...... How about we make a eulogy for Kuro? ”

Concubine Wu Xian was stunned, and when she saw Li Longji's serious expression and sincere feelings, she smiled gently: "It's just to increase sadness, no need." San Lang and Yueniang should look forward, we will definitely have children who grow up safely. ”

Seeing that Concubine Wu Xian was so strong and free, Li Longji couldn't help but admire, worthy of being the daughter of the Wu family, and at the same time felt a little distressed. He has seen many strong and capable women since he was a child, but he still thinks that women are weak and need the protection of men, but when he saw that Concubine Wu Xian was so strong and did not show him his weak side, his desire to protect did not decrease but increased.

Concubine Wu Xian's favor also became deeper and deeper.

Since the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there have been Yao Chong to stabilize the situation of the dynasty, and Song Jing to standardize the rule of officials, but in a few years, the population has increased to more than 10 million households, and the rice is three yuan per bucket, which is much cheaper than before the Kaiyuan Dynasty. There were few wars, and most of the soldiers were busy with farming, and some of them were not even aware of weapons. Enslaved and peaceful, punished the province, and the Haiyan River was clear, the products of the Quartet became more and more abundant, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and gradually became rich, and commerce and trade also prospered.

Due to the rapid development of commerce, although grain and silk can also be used as currency, and have been used for many years, after all, there are many inconveniences, such as its difficulty in carrying, and its conversion is often different from place to place, which is not as convenient as copper coins, and over time, the copper coins minted by the imperial court are not enough.

The common people would not use it because they did not have enough money, so some merchants began to make copper coins privately. Although they are also imitated according to the appearance of Kaiyuan Tongbao, the copper coins made, regardless of material, size, thickness or color, are far less delicate and durable than the copper coins made by the imperial court, and even two private coins are not as good as the weight of an official coin, but they still have the face value of an official coin, and the people call it "bad money".

Bad money is also money, and it can also be bought and sold through its value, and as soon as it appears, it will cause prices to skyrocket, and commerce and trade seem to be becoming more and more prosperous, but in fact there are great hidden dangers.

After Song Jing knew about this, he had a headache. He was a Confucian minister and a literati, and he regarded money as dung, and he had a very bad impression of merchants. It is related to the people's livelihood, he is afraid that the defense time will be long, causing greater chaos, and seeing that the evil money in Jianghuai is the most prosperous, he sent a supervisor named Xiao Yinzhi to Jianghuai to rectify.

Li Longji also hated this matter. Coins can only be made by the imperial court, and private individuals dare to get involved, if it is serious, it is not an exaggeration to sue him for rebellion, but after all, Li Longji is a few years older than when he first ascended the throne, and he is also a little more mature and calm, thinking that it is also because the imperial court mints too little money, which caused this matter, so he did not want to make the matter too serious.

Song Jing agreed with Li Longji's idea, but he also felt that there were no rules, there was no square circle, and there were still clear rewards and punishments, which Li Longji also agreed, so he handed over the matter to Song Jing with full authority.

Half a month later, Xiao Yinzhi's performance arrived. Song Jing felt very satisfied after reading it, so he handed it over to Li Longji.

Li Longji was very relieved of Song Jing, and naturally he was also very relieved of the person Song Jing chose, so he was not in a hurry to watch it, and when night fell, he finished another piece of ritual music before Xiao Jiangyuan read it, and then relayed it to him.

Xiao Jiangyuan was also very satisfied after reading it: "After Xiao Yushi arrived in Jianghuai, he brought all those who held evil money to justice based on the amount of bad money, confiscated all the evil money, and returned it to the imperial court for re-casting, and at the same time issued an order to prohibit the use of evil money - well, it's really happy." ”

Li Longji was rolling up and sealing the Xinli score, and after listening to it, his hands couldn't help shaking, and the score rolled to the ground and scattered again. Xiao Jiangyuan hurriedly put down the music and went to pick up the score on the ground, but he heard Li Longji say sharply: "Give me the music!" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was slightly stunned, and then according to Li Longji's instructions, he picked up the song and handed it to him. Seeing that he looked at it carefully several times from beginning to end, not only did he not look happy, but his eyebrows were tightly locked, Xiao Jiangyuan realized that something was wrong: "Is Xiao Yushi not good enough?" ”

Li Longji ignored Xiao Jiangyuan's question, and muttered: "That Xiao Yinzhi is just an imperial history, and you must ask for the consent of Duke Song before doing this...... Song Gong actually agreed? ”
