Wen Yaojia's righteous and stern words made Murong Zhao's face sink, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Your Highness, are you going to forget Xiao Qi? Do you also think that it is tiring to have such a person in your heart year after year? Miss Yang Qi was indeed born very beautiful, and her background is good, unlike slaves and Xiao Qi, who are all lowly people. Wen Yaojia said to herself, sadness came from it, and she burst into tears.

Murong Zhao didn't know how to speak for a while, only looked at Wen Yaojia's aggrieved appearance, and said uncomfortably: "Don't say that, I have never regarded you as lowly people. Besides, you are my cousin, the only relative left by my mother's family. ”

Wen Yaojia said abruptly: "Without me, you still have relatives next to you." But I'm just you. Let me ask again, who does His Highness think of me and Ruyi? ”

Murong Zhao had never thought about this question, or he had never faced it squarely. Wen Yaojia suddenly asked like this, which made him slightly stunned, and frowned: "You and Ruyi are both people I value very much. ”

Wen Yaojia smiled sadly, and said, "No, Ruyi and I are both people who make you feel indebted." You don't care, and you won't give us a word. Ruyi is nineteen years old this year, and the slave is also seventeen. Wen Yaojia didn't continue, and stopped at the right time. She blushed and said, "Even if Your Highness thinks that the slave is shameless, the slave and the maid must ask Your Highness to give a clear statement." ”

Murong Zhao still didn't understand what Wen Yaojia meant, they were all at the age of getting married. Girls from ordinary families are either discussing marriage or already married. He frowned, "I was too careless, and I should find a home for you." ”

Wen Yaojia heard the word "you" in Murong Zhao's words, and her heart was simply crumpled, and her sad brows were wrinkled together. Desperate and sad, he said: "Your Highness, if you have never been, you will never ...... If you don't have that kind of mind, you can let the slave and maid go, and let the slave and maid fend for themselves. Wen Yaojia finished her words and ran out crying.

Murong Zhao saw Wen Yaojia running out in tears, and wanted to get up to chase after her, but as soon as he stood up, he felt that his feet were heavy, and finally he only pursed his lips and called An Liang and said, "You, you follow her." ”

"That kind of mind?"

Murong Zhao couldn't tell, he felt that Wen Yaojia was very good, since Xiao Qi was gone. Wen Yaojia was by his side, meticulous and considerate, which reminded her of her mother. And Wen Yaojia is his cousin, and she has no one to count on in this world.

Occasionally, he also thought about keeping Wen Yaojia by his side, so he stayed by his side.

But now? If you are looking for a home for Wen Yaojia, what kind of person are you looking for? If the Wen family is still there, Wen Yaojia is also the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Nangong after the famous family. What kind of family should she match?

Thinking of Wen Yaojia's tears falling like pearls, Murong Zhao felt a little unbearable. is reasonable, he doesn't want Wen Yaojia to marry aggrieved. It turned out that he had been thinking about rehabilitating the Wen family and the Zhu family. But this matter is not something that can be achieved overnight. When the Wen family is really rehabilitated, how long will it take, and Wen Yaojia has a good identity at that time, but what about the age?

It is also said that Ruyi's mother was implicated because he and his mother left the palace and martyred his mother. How could he persecute them and disobey their wishes?

Throughout the morning, Murong Zhao fell into contradictory and tangled contemplation.

Until Yang Qiqi came over, he still had a cold face and frowned.

Yang Qiqi had just had lunch, wearing a homely lotus blue embroidered skirt with folded branches, looking sweet and leisurely.

When he arrived at the main room, Tan Fujia was talking to the accompanying guards under the cloister. Seeing that Yang Qiqi was in good spirits, he walked over gracefully and generously, hurriedly stopped talking, and said to Yang Qiqi from a distance: "The seventh girl is fine." ”

Yang Qiqi nodded slightly, returned a salute and smiled: "Hello sir." ”

Tan Fujia said politely and respectfully: "The injury on His Royal Highness's left arm is not light, we are afraid that we will have to harass the girl for a few days, and we can only leave for Yuhang after the Double Ninth Festival." ”

Yang Qiqi smiled indifferently: "The left and right return to the Jinlou to usher in, and it is also for people to live, you just have to live with peace of mind." ”

Tan Fujia smiled and bowed his head, and asked Yang Qiqi when he planned to leave for Yangzhou Mansion and if he wanted to stay in Yuhang for a few days. Yang Qiqi replied that he wanted to go to Yuhang's Zhuangzi to have a look, and the two entered the main house one after the other.

Murong Zhao sat cross-legged in front of the couch by the window, and when he heard Yang Qiqi's voice, he came back to his senses. The center of his eyebrows relaxed, and even the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, no longer the sad face of Fang Cai.

Seeing Yang Qiqi enter the door, dressed in lotus blue clothes, with a calm appearance, it looked very relaxing. Murong Zhao hurriedly stood up with his shoes on and asked her to sit down.

"What's the matter with Your Highness calling me?" Yang Qiqi opened his mouth calmly, no different from usual.

Murong Zhao looked at her expression carefully, as if he had to find some displeasure on her face. But she was still indifferent, which made Murong Zhao a little discouraged, coughed, and said, "I went back to the Eastern Capital on July 15. ”

Of course this Yang Qiqi knew, he ran into it that day, but he left halfway without interest.

"My father got an important message, saying that King Xin and the commander of the Qinling garrison have a head and tail, and my father asked me to secretly investigate when I return to Yuhang."

Yang Qiqi listened to Murong Zhao's eloquent words, and was quite surprised in his heart. This King Xin was the imperial uncle of Emperor Yonghui and the youngest brother of the first emperor. is a very carefree prince, what do you say about having a head and tail with the Qinling garrison? She didn't remember anything like that.

Wait a minute, King Xin, King Xin?

Yang Qiqi suddenly remembered that in his previous life, the emperor seemed to have pointed out Murong Mian, the granddaughter of King Xin, to Yuan Xian.

In the sixteenth year of Yonghui, King Xin's family took the little county lord Murong Mian into Beijing, met bandits halfway, and the family died tragically on the way to the capital. The king of faith also lost his heirs.

She vaguely remembered that there was a very secret rumor. said that the Xinwang family was going to rebel, and the emperor ordered Murong Zhao to be a lobbyist. After King Xin saw Murong Zhao, his family died tragically.

A dignified prince, the guards of the palace can't even beat the bandits? It is said that this matter was caused by Murong Zhao in order to curry favor with Emperor Yonghui, so he did this to King Xin.

In this life, Murong Zhao is still the same as in the previous life, and he is involved with King Xin. It's just that how the Xinwang family died at that time, she really can't understand.

Seeing her in a thoughtful daze, Murong Zhao couldn't help but call twice, "Seventh girl, seventh girl?" ”

Yang Qiqi hurriedly came back to his senses and asked him: "King Xin and the commander of the Qinling garrison have a head and tail, what does it have to do with Xiao Qincun and the prince?" ”

Murong Zhao explained: "I took my henchmen to Qinling, and I didn't find out anything wrong with the defenders of Qinling. However, he stumbled upon Xiaoqin Village and Qinling Gold Mine. The villagers of Xiaoqin Village are almost isolated from the rest of the world, and the whole village is mining gold. The gold mine has always been owned by the imperial court, but the prince took possession of the gold mine privately. In the past two years, the prince has been very generous, and he has secretly made a big deal with many officials in the cabinet and the six ministries. We suspect that a lot of the money comes from this. ”

Yang Qiqi's expression became solemn.

After the establishment of the Great Yan Dynasty, the first emperor nationalized the gold, and private individuals were not allowed to mine it. Dayan used gold, silver, and copper coins as coins, and gold was rarely seen in the homes of ordinary people. People who can afford to use gold when they go out are either rich or expensive. Ordinary trading is dominated by copper coins and silver tickets. The crown prince opened the gold mine privately, so naturally he would not hand over the gold mine to the imperial court.

Not to mention a prince, what is the purpose of accumulating a lot of wealth. Dotting the six cabinets? What are the officials of the six cabinet ministries going to do with the unsolicited gold? Naturally, it will be transferred to the private black market. What happens when a lot of gold flows out.

Yang Qiqi once heard Pei Xin say that in the early Qin Dynasty, Emperor Qin Xian once rewarded the royal family and heroes with gold mines, and allowed them to make gold ingots privately. The price of gold is high, and the royal family and nobles who occupy the recent situation are suddenly rich and rival the country. And without moderation, spending gold is like flowing water.

The result?

A stone of rice sells for five thousand to ten thousand dollars, and a horse is worth a million. The price of food has inexplicably doubled by a hundred. Civilians were displaced, famine spread, people were cannibalized, and more than half of the people died.

Yang Qiqi naturally couldn't tell the truth of this, but he also knew what serious consequences would happen if a large amount of gold poured into the people.

Tan Fujia was about to explain to Yang Qiqi, but saw Yang Qiqi's brows tightly pinched together. said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like this, he is drinking the blood of the people and eating the bones of the people!" He ...... "Yang Qiqi secretly thought in his heart, it shouldn't be, why didn't he show any signs in his previous life?"

Tan Fujia was surprised that Yang Qiqi was a little thorough, and immediately thought that Yang Qiqi was Mr. Qingping's tall feet, and immediately admired Yang Qiqi even more.

Murong Zhao nodded, also quite indignant, "I didn't know that the prince was such a bastard before. Mining gold privately, and then there is a matter of Xiaoqin Village, which is enough for the father to abolish the prince. ”

Yang Qiqi shook his head disappreciatively.

Emperor Yonghui is not a fool, and he may not be ignorant of some things about the crown prince. Maybe the father and son are turning a blind eye.

Anyway, in her previous life, as a person outside the center of power, she saw the prince who had no merit and no fault, was impartial, and sat firmly on the throne of the prince for thirty years. Although I can't figure out what Emperor Yonghui thinks now, it's better to be stable in this kind of thing.

Thinking of this, Yang Qiqi immediately reminded Murong Zhao: "No, let's not say whether the emperor has the heart to abolish the prince." His Royal Highness, as the adopted son of the queen's mother, is a sibling with the crown prince. Such a thing cannot be said by His Royal Highness, not to mention, the face of the crown prince is the face of the royal family, and it is the face of Dayan. If you want to expose it, you should let someone else do it. His Royal Highness can't have the slightest involvement in this matter! Yang Qiqi's tone was very soft, but he was loud.

Tan Fujia nodded in agreement, and was very comforted by Yang Qiqi's astuteness and his heart for Murong Zhao, "That's exactly what the seventh girl said. Fortunately, the prince only knew that someone was checking him, but he didn't know that it was His Highness Eleven. ”

Murong Zhao saw that the two of them had the same thoughts, and suddenly felt ashamed, and said, "I'm still too impulsive, not as agile as you." ”

Yang Qiqi shook his head with a smile, his eyes were soft and bright, "His Highness the Eleventh is bright and bright, the young man is promising, and he is heroic and upright, which is different from what we think." ”

Murong Zhao stared at Yang Qiqi's bright smile, his eyes were full of joy, and he said jokingly: "It's like you're old." ”

Tan Fujia smiled and said: "The humble position is a villain, and the seventh girl is a woman, so she thinks narrowly." When Tan Fujia said this, he deliberately glanced at Yang Qiqi, as if he was deliberately testing Yang Qiqi's strength.
