Chapter 356: Death
Qian Jun pondered, he didn't want to go, and it was estimated that the emperor wouldn't let him go, but did the emperor want him to recommend one, or did he already have a plan?
Qian Jun couldn't think of it for a long time, Emperor Yongchang was a little anxious, and asked himself: "What do you think is to let the prince go through training for two years?" β
"The prince, the prince is smart and reasonable, and he has no problem doing things, but Weichen is only afraid that he is young and vigorous, and he has been plotted."
"This is not difficult, just let Master Zhang assist."
Qian Jun lowered his head, lest his stunned appearance be seen by the emperor, and after a pause, he raised his head and said: "The prince must not be awarded an official, and Lord Zhang is already ranked as the third duke, and he can't give a governor of Liangjiang. β
"Well, this matter can't be implemented for a while, you go back and think about it, and think about it for me."
"Yes!" After Qian Jun agreed, he bowed and retreated, frowning all the way, the two provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are the money bags of the Jurong Dynasty, but in recent years, because of the land annexation, even the business has been monopolized by the family, the tax exemption amount is too large, the area is broad, and the tax revenue has been declining all the way, and it is less than the South China Sea in the past two years, he knows that the second uncle is a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes, and giving the emperor this fold, repairing the seawall is an excuse, and implementing the new policy is his real purpose.
The emperor transferred Shen Mingyun to the cabinet, because he was afraid that his reform would be destroyed by pressure from the imperial court, who should be chosen for the person who can implement the reform? It is necessary to have prestige, but also to be determined to innovate, but also to have thunderous means, dare to be responsible, Qian Jun thought of dozens of feudal officials of the Jurong Dynasty from the beginning to the end, and from the end to the end, and did not find a suitable one, either too slippery, too pedantic, or there are suspicions of corruption......
For a few days, Qian Jun couldn't make up his mind, he wanted to give the emperor some twists and turns, naturally in addition to the candidate, but also according to the person's character and ability, to give the emperor a feasible reform steps and implementation methods, this is a major event related to the fortune of Jurong Guo, he has to take it seriously.
On this day, he was meditating in the study, and a eunuch from the side of the main courtyard flew over, Qian Jun quickly put down the affairs at hand, asked his relatives to help lock the door, and went to the inner courtyard - Prince Ren is not good.
It may be that a person is about to die, and his words are also good, Prince Ren took Qian Jun's hand and pinched it weakly: "In the future, the house will depend on you." As he spoke, he motioned for Jing Yan, who was waiting, to come over and gave Qian Jun a small box.
"This is my life savings, you take half of it, keep half for them, Qian Zhang is too young, help me take care of one or two." After speaking, he looked at his son with hope.
"Yes, father, don't worry, I will take care of Brother Zhang."
Prince Ren smiled slightly, and then his eyes dimmed and he was not breathing.
Princess Naren, who was guarding the side, couldn't help crying, Concubine Dong outside the house heard it, and took Qian Hao to cry too, she had worked hard for so many years, and now she didn't catch anything, and just now, the man didn't even have a word of explanation to her son Qian Hao, thinking that Prince Ren only cared about Qian Zhang, Concubine Dong hated it so much.
Qian Hao also heard his father's words very clearly, since he had Qian Zhang, his relationship with Prince Ren has become more and more distant, no matter how their mother and son are courteous in front of Prince Ren, they can't change the old man's mind, although he has long understood this, but he really heard his father only say Qian Zhang's name in his mouth, and he didn't explain anything to him, and he was still very disappointed and sad.
"Fatherβ"
"Lord Wangβ"
The cries of Princess Liu, Qian Xuan and his wife, Concubine Dong Fangfei, and Qian Hao are the loudest and loudest, if outsiders who don't know see it, they think they are the dearest. Prince Ren was alive, and he was separated from his women and sons, but he didn't expect that after he died, they cried the most. And Princess Naren, who really loves him, has to be busy arranging family affairs.
Concubine Dong made a fuss for a while, and then began to think about whether her son could inherit the title as he wished with the help of her brother.
Prince Ren is a first-class king, his funeral is very complicated, not only the juniors of the clan and the low-ranking nobles come to worship, but also the civil and military officials of the capital have also come, and the palace of Prince Ren is full of people every day, Qian Jun's eyes are red, and his voice is hoarse.
Princess Naren worked even harder, although she gave a lot of affairs to Wen Jin, she was still sick in bed in the heavy affairs.
Concubine Dong took the opportunity to come forward, like E'er putting out a fire, she was inside and outside the house, in fact, she didn't care about anything specifically, just showing off, or trying her best to make a few useful ladies.
Seven seven forty-nine days passed, Prince Ren went into the earth for peace, the master and the servants of the house were tired, these days walking around the house, everywhere was very quiet, not to mention the tired and broken waist of the servants were lazy to sleep, even the masters were lying down and did not want to get up.
There is always someone who is an exception, and that is Concubine Dong, who is receiving the mother-in-law sent by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Dong.
"Did Madame say that the master had decided the matter?"
Mother He shook her head: "I didn't say it." β
Concubine Dong twisted her handkerchief in both hands: "Princess Naren may have made up her mind to split up, she thought that the title would definitely be inherited by Qian Zhang, Mother He, let the lord hurry up and tell the emperor, otherwise it will be too late." β
"My lord, these days, I have been bothering to talk about the young master, and the emperor is a little dissatisfied with him."
Concubine Dong's forced smile could no longer be maintained, and the smile became like a bitter melon.
At the same time, Liu Cheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Qian Kuan, the right sect of the Zongren Mansion, were in front of the emperor, talking about the attack on the lord of Prince Ren's mansion, both of whom were Dong Jincai's people, so they naturally spoke to this side.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ren's son is too young, and there are so many people in the house, should I let the older brother inherit the title first, and then return the title when the prince is an adult?"
Emperor Yongchang didn't speak, but the unhappiness on his face was undisguised, Qian Zhang was ten years old, and he was not a two or three-year-old child, why should he let someone else take the title on his behalf?
Zhang Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was a relatively upright person, and he gave the emperor a salute: "Although Prince Ren is not an adult, he is already ten years old, so he doesn't need to be inherited, right?" β
Qian Kuan retorted very seriously: "The ancestral family law, can you not follow it?" This hat is so big that the people in the room are speechless, and even the emperor has to ask: "Then, who will take it?" Qian Kuan pretended to say: "Naturally, the eldest son of Prince Ren is already a prince, and he can't lower his own price and then inherit the title of a county king, the second son of Prince Ren's mansion is paralyzed, and the third son is still underage, so only the concubine will attack on his behalf." β
