Jiang Yanshi was waiting in the gatehouse of the imperial palace, and when he saw that the prince was back, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Let's go in and talk." The crown prince motioned to Jiang Yonsei.

Jiang Yanshi saw the tiredness in the prince's eyes, and frowned slightly, it seems that this arrest week, the mother has something to do again.

The two entered the study, and while the prince sat down, he said that Empress Jiang had announced that she was going to abolish the use degree, "...... A-Niang is becoming more and more bent on going her own way, and the income handed over by Huangzhuang is not small, we have all calculated it, I told A-Niang, and you also told A-Niang. In the past, why Quanyou was able to send so much silver, this is something that everyone knows, but I can't say it, A-Niang takes this life thing one by one, it's really ......"

The prince patted the arm of the chair in annoyance.

"What we want is stability, it's best to be fine." Jiang Yanshi smiled bitterly, but his aunt refused to stop for a moment.

"Ugh." The prince sighed, "Every time I tell her to be stable, don't make trouble, be stable in the court, and be even more stable in the palace, she sneers, squints at you, and says that this stability is not what we can ask for at all, and says that the queen mother ......"

The prince's words paused, and he sighed again, looked at Jiang Yanshi and said with a wry smile: "The queen mother is sixty-seven years old this year, she is not as good as before, and she talks a lot, often talking about this matter, pulling that thing, pulling one thing at a time, after a while, I don't know what she is talking about, people are old and confused, she is like this, what else can happen?" ”

Jiang Yanshi thought about the old appearance of the Empress Dowager Jin, and nodded, the Empress Dowager is very old.

"In the past two years, the uncle has also withdrawn and retreated, and he can ignore everything, but A-Niang still holds on to it, admitting that the uncle has a heart of disobedience, and the queen mother has a heart of disobedience." The prince clenched his fists and pounded the dwarf next to him, "Uncle is the queen mother's own flesh and blood, and the emperor is also the queen mother's own flesh and blood, if you want to say that the queen mother loves the uncle, this is indeed true, if the first emperor is still there, it is human nature to say that the queen mother wants to set up a young son because she loves her young son, but the first emperor left before the uncle was born, is the queen mother crazy?" ”

Jiang Yanshi's eyelids drooped slightly, "Aunt's words, I discussed it with Mr. Mo once, and Mr. Mo said the same, but Mr. Mo felt that if it was planned for King Qin, now there are one or two little princes in the palace, and they will be close to Prince Qin, grow up with the son of King Qin, and be helped by Prince Qin to ascend to the big treasure, which is a plan for two generations." ”

The prince's face was slightly pale, and he was silent for a while before he said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the emperor thinks the same way, and the emperor called the imperial doctor again and asked how the Tang family's pulse is, since everything is fine, why is there no movement." ”

"It's pregnant, whether you can give birth or not, it's still in Liangke, if you are born, you can't stand, and it's in Liangke, whether it's a man or a woman, maybe it's a woman." Jiang Yanshi's voice was low and cold.

After a while, the prince snorted, "Don't talk about this, this matter is still far away, let's take care of the present." ”

"Well, since Niangniang has had a seizure, this matter has to be supplemented by one or two, and second, it can also be used." Jiang Yanshi immediately turned to business.

The prince took a sip of tea and motioned for Jiang Yonsei to continue.

"I have to compare the current Huangzhuang income with that time, this is too ridiculous, otherwise, I will go to find Wei Xiang, ask Wei Xiang to come forward, explain one or two to the emperor, and then praise a few words, today's Huangzhuang, Su Ye takes care of it very well, so that you will not lose the heart of the courtier because of the blame of Niangniang."

The prince nodded, "You'll go in a while." ”

"The second thing, now the palace is extremely tight, this is a fact, this one has to come forward, find Yan Xiang, he is in charge of the household, ask him, can you get a sum of money from. After Bai Shumi's purging of bandits, the southeast area became more and more prosperous, and the sea ships in Mingzhou, Quanzhou, and Jiangyin more than doubled in the past three or four years. ”

The prince listened intently to Jiang Yanshi's words, and when he heard the huge ship that could hold tens of thousands of catties, his face was full of yearning, "If only I could see such a big ship with my own eyes." It's just right, let's see how Yan Kuan handles this matter, we have a number in our hearts, we really have to ......"

The prince paused, "Then find a way to take the household department out of his hands, and the officials will be in Su Guangyi's hands, and we can afford to hold this household department." ”

"Hmm." Jiang Yanshi answered, discussed a few more things, Jiang Yanshi stood up and withdrew.

When King Qin returned to the mansion, Jin Zhuoyan and Lu Yi were sitting on the porch playing chess, and when they saw him coming in, they hurriedly stood up to meet him.

"So early." Jin was a little surprised.

"Jiang Niangniang said that she would cut three adult manpower and use it everywhere." King Qin replied, passed by the chess table, and stood and looked at it for a moment, "Clumsy words? ”

Jin nodded his head.

"Look at the current situation, you are going to lose this game again." King Qin seemed to be in a good mood.

"It's not more than mid-game." Jin Zhuoyan saw that King Qin was in a good mood, and he smiled and disagreed.

"In terms of chess strength, you are not as good as me, I am not as good as the prince, you have made a few bad moves." Lu Yi smiled and answered, followed behind King Qin, and entered the upper room with Jin Zhuoyan one after the other.

"The day before yesterday, when I came out of the dynasty and met Su Ye, he complained to me a few words, saying that he had been studying since he was a child, and now he is taking care of those things in Huangzhuang, which is really miserable." King Qin looked at Jin Shuyan and Lu Yi and said: "When the emperor assigned the affairs of Huangzhuang to Su Ye, I thought that he would have to find an excuse to shirk this mission after holding out for a while, but I didn't expect him to do it all the time, and the reason for this has never been found." ”

"Taking care of the Huangzhuang is always a great help to Concubine Su in the palace." Jin Shuyan glanced at Lu Yi, who hung his head slightly.

King Qin shook his head, "Since Su Ye took over the Huangzhuang, Jiang Niangniang has been saving everywhere, reducing expenses, and returning to make the Huangzhuang's income far inferior to that of Quanyou at that time as a reason, this is not a help, this is to invite hatred for Su Guifei." After a pause, King Qin looked at Jin Humble and said, "Concubine Tang is angry today. ”

Jin Shuyan frowned slightly, and then relaxed, "It doesn't matter if she is angry or not, I told the Tang family a long time ago, from the day Tang Concubine entered the palace, she was considered dead, and the Tang family is an understanding person." ”

"Tang Concubine dared to say it in public, and in front of the emperor, she must dare to say that the emperor loves her very much now, and there are a few things ......" King Qin looked at Jin Zhuoyan, "The emperor should have listened to Tang Concubine's gossip." ”

Jin Zhuoyan's expression was a little not very good, King Qin turned his gaze away and changed the topic, "No matter what Su Ye did with Huangzhuang, look at it at this time, what he wants to do is about the same, I am afraid that I will take advantage of Jiang Niangniang's attack today to throw Huangzhuang out, we have to have a number first, this Huangzhuang, is it to take it over and check one or two." Su Ye has spent two or three years working on Huangzhuang, and I always feel that there is something strange here, and besides, things will not be small. ”

"Last time I drank at my house, Guo Sheng mentioned it once." Lu Yi owes his body.

"This matter should also be discussed with Guo Sheng, he is the best at this." King Qin was about to raise his voice to command, but Lu Yi hurriedly answered: "Guo Sheng went out, saying that he wanted to settle someone, and said that it was the girl's order." ”

"Hmm." King Qin responded, and then said: "Forget it, Su Ye is cautious, since he has regressed and withdrawn his hand, he must clean it up, this imperial village is best in the hands of the prince." ”

"Fourth Master?" Jin Cunyan reacted very quickly, Lu Yi nodded in agreement, the prince is in charge of the Huangzhuang, it is the most suitable.

"Well, I think so too, let's push the fourth child here." King Qin's voice was flat, "Let someone send a message to the fifth child and make him sick for a while, it is better to be more sick, so as not to lose two by a little." King Qin looked at Lu Yi and commanded, the emperor's temper must be more willing to be a little bit or two, if he really wants to be the fifth prince, he will not be able to get out of it.

"Yes." Lu Yi agreed.

In a ruined temple outside Hangzhou, in front of the statue of Guanyin in the middle of the half-collapsed hall, there was the old monk sitting cross-legged, a tall but thin gray-robed monk who could not see his age came in, five or six steps away from the old monk, put his hands together and bowed and said: "Master, it is said that the wedding date has been set, August 22. ”

The old monk opened his eyes, his eyes overflowing with indescribable joy or sadness, and after a while, he commanded in a low voice: "Pack up, set off for the capital, and leave now." ”
