Chapter 7 Debts

Just take care of yourself.

It had been an hour since I returned to King Qin's Mansion, and there were a large number of men standing in the courtyard. Sure enough, it is still inconvenient to live with Zhou Shuxuan.

Someone noticed her coming in, but at a glance, she only felt that her bones were crispy, and her eyes stuck to her and couldn't be removed.

I don't know why these people are here, and it is impossible to hide aside and wait for them to leave, where she stands is too eye-catching. simply walked to Zhou Shuxuan's house, and it was only right to get back to the matter.

Entering the house, Zhou Shuxuan was shaking a small saucer, and I don't know what was "rustling" in it.

Zhou Shuxuan could always find her before she spoke, and asked expressionlessly, "How is it?" ”

He saluted and replied, "Lord, the eldest princess said that she was fine, so the prince didn't have to worry." ”

"Okay, come here." Miao Li went over, and Zhou Shuxuan handed him the small plate in his hand, which contained small black grains, which were the ones found in the horse farm. "They say it's gunpowder"

"This?" Miao Li didn't believe it, she had never seen such gunpowder, she fiddled it a few times, and then put it under her nose and sniffed it, probably because there was too much, and she could really smell a faint smell of saltpeter. "But how does this ignite?"

Aren't things like gunpowder guns all about a big body with a twist on it? It doesn't look like it.

Zhou Shuxuan's face did not change and said: "You can explode if you ignite the fire." ”

"Ignition? How do you light a fire on a horse's hooves? "That's not a fragrant roasted horseshoe.

"If the king knows, he doesn't need to ask you." Without further explanation, Zhou Shuxuan raised his head and pointed at the people in the courtyard and said, "These are the king's staff, you discuss matters with them." The emperor has summoned that the king will now enter the palace. ”

Wei Hai felt that something was wrong, glanced at Miao Li, and said a few words to Zhou Shuxuan.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced outside the house, then at Miaoli, and said to her with a gloomy gaze: "You choose what identity you are?" ”

If you become a concubine, go back to the backyard. If you are a counselor, you should not care about men and women.

She has only come to this point with all her strength, and it is impossible for her to give up because of men and women. Zhou Shuxuan's staff, she should have a good meeting for a while.

On that side, Zhou Shuxuan had already arrived at the palace, and he was also very uncertain about the emperor's sudden summons.

The eldest prince Zhou Shu'an is strong in martial arts, and he is relied on by the emperor. The identity of the prince is there, there is no need to say more. The rest of the royal brothers are all half-grown children, and the emperor is more partial to his younger son. Only he, because of his mother, was not loved by the emperor from the moment he was born. When he was older, the emperor said that he was cunning to gain power and did not have a good heart.

When he was in good health, the emperor rarely looked for him except for official affairs, not to mention that now, the official affairs in his hands had already been handed over, and he really couldn't figure out why the emperor was looking for him now.

Saying that there is a little benefit to a broken leg, he has been pushed out of the palace of diligence when he is trying to figure out the holy will.

It was really inconvenient for him to kneel down on his legs, and the emperor had exempted him from kneeling, and just said goodbye, "Erchen respectfully asks for Saint Ann." ”

The emperor's eyes fell on his legs, and there was a faint regret in his words, "You're here, are your legs better?" ”

Zhou Shuxuan faintly felt that the emperor seemed to desperately hope that his leg would get better, but it was not like the care between father and son.

"Back to my father, it's still like this, nothing has improved."

The emperor sighed, "There are thousands of doctors in the world, but none of them can heal your legs well, so it can be seen that they are all quacks." ”

Zhou Shuxuan didn't have any waves in his heart, "It's the sons themselves who are not angry." "It's too late to care.

After the emperor cared, he said straight to the point: "I called you here to check the accounts of the household department at the beginning of this year. ”

Sure enough, it's for business, but it's not right. At the beginning of the year, the household department was in his hands, but the prince said that the accounts were not right, and he had to check the accounts. took the opportunity to brush off a lot of him, and finally snatched the household back. It stands to reason that the matter of the household department should not be looked for him, what does the emperor mean by mentioning it now?

Zhou Shuxuan simply pretended not to understand, "Please make it clear to my father." ”

The emperor took an account book from the dragon book case and threw it to him, "Look at it for yourself." ”

This is the year he was in charge of the household department, and the prince's account book this year. Zhou Shuxuan's brows furrowed the more he looked at it, and he asked in surprise after turning it over: "In other words, the treasury is empty now?" ”

The prince is so bold and does it so well, he really thinks that the emperor and others are fools. The emperor stood with his hands behind his back and nodded slowly.

I thought that the prince would not do good deeds, but I didn't think that he would be so arrogant, Zhou Shuxuan had a cold face, and counted the places where the money was used this year, "Even if there is a drought in Yizhou at the beginning of the year, the subsequent repair of the river and the locust plague will not be like this." ”

The emperor waved his hand with his back to him, "Don't mention those first." Not only that, but the people from the Internal Affairs Office are also reaching out to ask me for silver, and I am afraid that this year will not be good. ”

Zhou Shuxuan understood, and asked him to come for money. Every time it was like this, throwing any hard bones at him. This is obviously the prince's fault, and in the end he has to make up for the leak. It is really a contradiction to hate his scheming and scheming, but to use his scheming.

Zhou Shuxuan did not accept this stubble, "The sons and daughters still have the things that their father has rewarded over the years, and all of them can be sold or made up." ”

The emperor said sharply: "Confused, let the people know that the prince is selling his property, and I don't know what to say about the royal family." ”

He didn't want to take over this mess, the matter of falling off the horse, not to mention the love between father and son, the emperor didn't even have a little affection for him.

Zhou Shuxuan continued to shirk, "It's better for my father to find the prince to ask what is going on, and it is not necessary to have a hidden secret." ”

The emperor simply made it clear, "I want you to settle the matter of the New Year." ”

Obviously they are all biological sons, why do they connive at one in every way and suffer everywhere?

Zhou Shuxuan touched his knees with his hands, and he had to talk about these legs, "I'm afraid my son's body can't take on this heavy responsibility." ”

The emperor came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said quite lovingly: "There is almost a month to go before the New Year, you take your time." ”

It seemed that he couldn't shirk it, so Zhou Shuxuan had to grit his teeth and take it, "If you can relieve your father's worries, your sons and daughters must do their best." ”

Probably gave birth to him to relieve the emperor's worries and treat him as a sword. One day, he will become the bearer of the sword.
