Hu Tong said: "Yes, many princes and nobles are involved in this matter, some are in person, and some are entrusted to relatives. The world is crowded, all for the benefit of the 'This matter is not to blame, but the winter clothes used in the army, several of them are added with black cotton wool, which is not cold-resistant at all, and there are some weapons, all of which are broken by a slight bump, if such a thing reaches the hands of the Zuo Dudu, how can it beat those rebels in Jiaozhi? โ
"It was originally a good thing that was beneficial to the country and the people, but it was made into a miasma by those insatiable and rampant magnates, not to mention that in order to seek huge profits, relying on power and humiliating and bullying ordinary people and businessmen are countless, if it were not for these hamster silverfish, how could the rebellion of Jiaozhi last for a long time?"
"The emperor is also afraid that the people's grievances will boil and there will be a big mess, so he instructed the ministers to supervise the winter clothes and other military supplies in Beijing. In order to prevent this matter from affecting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's imprisonment, I have come to pay tribute today, and I sincerely ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make an explicit order, prohibiting officials and their families from participating in the supply of military supplies, and selecting those who are old and honest among the people and merchants to supply them exclusively. The minister has written down the chapter on this matter, and at the same time the emperor is played, His Royal Highness the Prince, please see, this is a copy of the chapter that the minister sent to the emperor! โ
Hu Tong said, took out a copy of the chapter from his sleeve, and sent it with both hands. The prince took it from the hand of the chamberlain Chen Huifu and opened it to take a look, and sure enough, it was written to the emperor, and the content was exactly what Hu Tong had just said, and the original piece needed to be seen by him before being sent to Kyoto, and it was impossible for Hu Tong to fake this matter.
But this Hu Tong was obviously ordered to investigate his virtues, and he came to Beijing for a few days, but he suddenly asked to see him, if it was just for this matter, he couldn't help but say that it was unreasonable, after all, even if he didn't come to the performance, he would know about it sooner or later.
He said that he ordered to prohibit the families of officials from participating in the supply of military supplies, and if this matter is completed, it will be very popular with the monarch, and if it is not done, the princes and nobles who originally had a wait-and-see attitude in the court will fall to the hostile side of the East Palace, and they have always stood in front of the people of the world with benevolence, filial piety, and righteousness, and there are many twists and turns in this position, and it takes more time and energy to get to that seat smoothly, and they have been enduring and waiting for so many years, if the foundation is messed up because of this matter, what should they do?
If he didn't follow what he played, if his father knew, he was afraid that he would say that he was not of great use, and that this matter was not only related to the military supplies of Jiaozhi, but if it was not rectified, I am afraid that it would be extended to other military supplies, and at that time, the catastrophe would be cast, and it would be even more difficult to clean up.
Seeing that the prince was silent with the copy, Hu Tong said again: "In the Imperial Procuratorate, the emperor also ordered the imperial envoy to strictly investigate the case, and select a capable official to investigate this matter, because the matter is very important, lest it be unclear that His Royal Highness the prince does not know the details and delays the major event, so the minister hurried to state to you, you see, if there is any incompleteness, the minister will definitely revise it according to your instructions." โ
Looking at this situation, Hu Tong is really dedicated to the country, and he wants to do what he says, this letter is sent to the emperor, and the military supplies in Jiaozhi are really in trouble, and even if the war situation is affected, he can also get rid of his responsibilities to the greatest extent.
Zhu Gaochi decided to believe that Hu Tong's move was good-intentioned...... It was to use this move to suggest to himself that his father had secretly ordered him to investigate his virtues, and there would be a good answer.
If this is the case, it is very beneficial to himself, the prince secretly thought to himself: Hu Tong is scheming, his father trusts him very much, and even entrusts him with the task of finding Emperor Jianwen's life and death, such a person is willing to surrender to himself, doesn't it show that his father's attitude towards himself has changed greatly.
The prince happily raised the tea to Hu Tong, "Lord Hu is loyal and patriotic, and I can hear what you are doing today, and according to what my lord said, it is strictly forbidden for people in the government to participate in the military supplies of the imperial court, and we must ensure that the needs of the soldiers are of high quality, so that they can protect their families and defend the country with peace of mind." It is not advisable to drink alcohol at the moment, so let's replace wine with tea and drink this cup together. Come on, Master Hu, you don't have to stand there, sit down. โ
Hu Tong thanked him.
The two raised their glasses and smiled.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this tea is really superb, it is pleasing to drink, and I forget my worries." Hu Tong said meaningfully after putting down the teacup.
The prince laughed, "Since Lord Hu likes this tea, Xiao Chenzi, put all of them on the adults." This tea is also obtained by chance, only these are the only ones, I hope the adults are not too little. โ
Hu Tong hurriedly stood up and bowed, "The minister is disrespectful, and he deserves it." โ
The prince also said quite vaguely, "Lord Hu is for the country and the people, not to mention this small tea, even better things can be endured, but it is inconvenient now, and I can only appreciate it in the future." โ
After this meeting, the crown prince in the name of supervising the country clearly ordered the world to supply military supplies, and the officials of the court and China and their families were not allowed to participate, and specially selected reliable people and merchants, with inspectors, to ensure the supply of military supplies in peace and stability, and when Hu Tong arrived in Anqing, the crown prince sincerely respected and filial piety and seven things secretly, eliminating Emperor Yongle's suspicion of the prince.
In mid-July, when she got the news, the crown princess gently put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Amitabha, this level has passed. โ
She didn't point out anything, but Mama Shan knew what she was referring to, and said happily: "This is also the same as you and the prince and his wife, what you think is the same, Xiao Chenzi didn't say, Lord Hu drank the tea, very happy, although the prince later ordered him to retreat and guard, did not hear the details, but from the expressions of the two, it is obvious that they are talking very happily." Now it's okay, the things you and the prince were worried about didn't appear, and with the help of Lord Hu, it will be more secure in the future. โ
The crown princess didn't speak, and said for a long time: "Xiao Chenzi's matter, don't make the master suspicious, he is doing things in front of Zhan'er, and he is a close confidant of the master, and he doesn't even shy away from meeting Lord Hu, it can be seen that he is good at meeting the wishes, he is the apprentice of Wang An's father-in-law, you tell him that you must control your own mouth strictly, these terrible things, if you leak the slightest rumor, I will not spare him again." โ
Mama Shan hurriedly responded, "Don't worry, Xiao Chenzi is clever, the prince can only ask some irrelevant news from his mouth, and he also knows that this matter is very important, and he also told the slave and maid to be careful, and there will be no difference." And when the slave and maid came back to see him, they were all hiding their business, and no one could see the truth, and again, we didn't contact him for small things, and no one would be suspicious, in fact, the prince didn't know that Xiao Chenzi was spared by you that day, and he was willing to let him listen to it, but also to inform you of the news and calm your heart. โ
The crown princess sighed: "Mama is the most reassuring person for me, if you think it's appropriate, of course I think it's appropriate." I hope that as you said, the lord used him to calm my heart, in that case, at least it shows that in major matters, we husband and wife are still of one heart and one mind. Fortunately, this time Master Hu favored the East Palace, resolved his father's suspicions, and turned this matter into invisible, not taking advantage of those people's intentions, but this time they lost their hands, and they may not have other tricks next time, so it is better to be careful. And Zhan'er's side too, it's been almost a year since they got married, and there is no movement at all, you look at Jun'er, one concubine and two concubines, but two of them are pregnant, and they are in front of him. My heart is really half sad and half happy. โ
Mama Shan laughed: "The crown princess is the most loving and thoughtful, not a slave boasting, this up and down, can not find a few loving mothers-in-law like you, the princess of Jingjun and the concubine are pregnant, then the good things will be moved over as if they don't need money, and sooner or later people will inquire about the situation." His Royal Highness has always said that they are all young, and they are afraid that their birth and upbringing will affect their bodies, but in fact, Princess Jingjun is more than a year younger than Princess Taisun. Or...... First choose a safe person who is older and easy to give birth to, help blossom and bear fruit, and attract dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren to follow? It's just that I'm afraid that the concubines and concubines won't be happy. โ
What Mama Shan said was to find someone to be a maid for Zhu Zhanji, and after she became pregnant, she either went to her mother to keep her son, or she was lowly as a mother, and sent her heirs to the name of the princess.
Hearing Mama Shan's words, the crown princess frowned, "This matter can't help them, wait a little longer, if the one-year period expires, there is no movement, and you can only try this method, you should pay attention now, pick a good child, if you want to get pregnant, you will live in the name of the princess." It stands to reason that they shouldn't eat such dry vinegar, the maid in the room is the same as dust and clouds compared to them, and they can't even tolerate this, in the future, Zhan'er has three palaces and six courtyards, won't they make trouble and die, this life can be long, which woman in the palace didn't come over like this? If this matter is decided, you can also help me watch, who dares to make a fuss about this, the family and everything is prosperous, and when you enter this mansion, you should understand that it is not an ordinary person's family, and these things are jealous, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only press it in your heart, and you are not allowed to show it to me at all, let alone take advantage of this to make trouble and make the house restless. โ
Mama Shan nodded frequently, "You are right." The old slave is now starting to pay attention to the right person. โ
As the grandson of the emperor, Zhan'er is not the eldest grandson of an ordinary family after all, and she is not rich in heirs and cannot inherit the world. The crown princess turned her head, looked at the pomegranate in the peacock peony lantern bottle of blue and white porcelain on the table, and secretly hoped that the princess could conceive a man and a woman as soon as possible.
In the Wutong Courtyard, Hu Shanxiang leaned crookedly on the beauty couch, listening to the chirping of birds in the woods outside the window, and felt faintly sleepy. Just as he was about to lose the small clothes he was going to make for Zhu Zhanji, and fall asleep on the couch, he heard the soft sound of the curtain, and Zhihe walked in, looking a little hesitant.
Hu Shanxiang lazily raised his voice and asked, "What's wrong?" โ
Zhihe said in a low voice: "Hu Shanggong is here, do you want to see Concubine Taisun?" โ
