Shen Zhongkang sat opposite, watching the new emperor change his usual appearance and coax the Hubu Shangshu away, and after the people left, he sighed one after another with a sad face, and he said: "Your Majesty is short of silver?" ”

Ying Yuanyu looked at him instantly: "Yuanfu has?" ”

Shen Zhong Kang smiled: "The old minister doesn't have it, His Majesty also knows what the situation of the Shen family is, if it's only eight thousand taels, it's okay, but if it's too much, even if you sell the old minister, you can't get it." ”

Ying Yuanyu's eyes instantly lost their brilliance: "You don't have any, ask me what I am missing?" ”

He's running out of money and going crazy!

Shen Zhongkang said: "The old minister doesn't have silver, but others do." ”

Ying Yuanyu was stunned: "Others? ”

"Your Majesty has forgotten, the excerpt sent by the Bai family some time ago?"

Shen Zhongkang said, "The Bai family has been transporting grain and grass to Shuozhou in the past two years, earlier you gave them the brand of the imperial merchant, and gave Bai Xiaogongzi the title of county lord, and now the Bai family has no richer ...... in the entire Shuokang and Jiangnan area."

Ying Yuanyu's eyes lit up again when he listened, and he couldn't help but think of the Bai family.

The old man Bai is a great businessman, but he didn't expect that there was a Bai Jinyuan, and he was even more blue.

In the past two years, when the money in the DPRK was out of money, the Bai family sent grain and grass to Shuozhou several times to support military supplies, and also took the initiative to donate a large amount of silver to help with disaster relief during the drought last year.

But that kid has a somewhat perverse temperament, he doesn't like to enter Beijing, and he refuses to say that he wants to guard Old Man Bai for retirement, but secretly almost leads the Bai family caravan to run all over the whole business.

In this great business, from the royal family to the common people, it is as expensive as gold, silver and jade, and as cheap as straw mats and hemp ropes, so there is no business that he does not do.

Before this year, Bai Jinyuan aimed his business overseas.

Some time ago, the Bai family was on the top of the seal, wanting to ask the DPRK and China to open the sea ban and allow the Bai family to build a ship and go to sea.

Only the fold has been pressing, and there are many people in the DPRK and China who are arguing about whether the sea ban can be opened.

Shen Zhongkang sat opposite, reached out and picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard and threw them into the chess box on the side:

"Your Majesty had intended to reopen the sea ban earlier, but some ministers in the DPRK and China have been holding on to their old ideas, and what they are worried about is nothing more than that the opening of the sea ban will not see any benefits and will cause chaos along the coast, so it is better to agree to the Bai family's request first, and let the Bai family build ships and go to sea first in the name of the imperial court."

Ying Yuanyu thoughtfully: "Yuanfu wants to exchange profits with the Bai family?" ”

Shen Zhongkang nodded: "The reconstruction of Shuozhou needs silver, and there are still a few months left for this year's autumn harvest, and the treasury is stretched thin. ”

"The Bai family wants to try the first thing and let the DPRK open the sea ban, so let them exchange silver money for the opportunity to go to sea, they must also be willing."

"At that time, Your Majesty will give the Bai family an official identity, ask them to go to sea as special envoys for the great cause, and then send coastal officials to accompany them, which can not only appease the DPRK and China, test the situation after the opening of the sea, but also make the Bai family willing to pay silver, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds."

Ying Yuanyu pondered for a moment, but felt that what Shen Zhongkang said might not be the solution.

He had the intention of opening the sea ban, but there has been no good candidate.

Bai Jinyuan's kid is relieved, after all, although he has changed his surname, there is still Ah Yao in the end.

That kid dared to mess around, and Ah Yao was the first to break his leg.

As for the rest......

Ying Yuanyu didn't care, whether those old and old-fashioned people in the court were willing to do anything to him, they wanted to shout again, okay, that was to stick to the family foundation to solve the urgent needs of the court, as long as they could get the silver given by the Bai family, he would also be willing to comply with their wishes.

Wait for the next time there is a shortage of silver, and then open the sea ban.

The two discussed for a while, and Ying Yuanyu decided to do what Shen Zhongkang said, in addition to allowing the Bai family to build a ship and go to sea, he also decided to give Bai Jinyuan another official position and tie the kid into the court, and secondly, as long as the Bai family was willing to support the court with money, he would allow Bai Jinyuan to go overseas as a special envoy of the Great Cause Dynasty, and eight hundred officials would accompany him to protect him.

After letting go of his thoughts, Ying Yuanyu's face instantly brightened.

He explained that Pan Qing sent an edict to let the people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry enter the palace, and while reopening the chess game to play against Shen Zhongkang.

The two were gossiping, and Shen Zhongkang asked, "I heard that the people of the Yuan family will be escorted into Beijing soon?" ”

Ying Yuanyu nodded: "Ah Yao said that he set off at the same time as the letter, and it should be a few days." ”

Speaking of this, his head hurts,

"It's just the people of the Yuan family, send it back, send it back, and judge it how it should be judged, but do you know, Ah Yao actually sent back a woman."

Shen Zhongkang was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

When Xue Nuo and the others first left Beijing, they had only 50,000 troops in their hands, and they couldn't defeat the Xiling Palace.

At that time, Beidi was the most chaotic time, and the cunning girl didn't plan to fight with the Yuan family at all, she only let Jiang Cheng and Qiu Changqing lead Yuan Sheng, who was caught, to take 20,000 people to the vicinity of Shuozhou to disturb them, plus the spies sent earlier, used some unseemly means to contain the Yuan family's troops, and she and Shen led the other 30,000 people straight to Jiangpu.

There are vassal kings in the great cause, and there are subordinate armies in the hands of the vassal kings everywhere.

That Jiangpu is the territory of King Luo, King Luo has a sleek and timid temperament, the two went without saying a word and started to fight directly, first caught people off guard and almost robbed the domain, and then Xiaozhi moved with emotion to benefit, half forced and half coerced to let King Luo get on their thief ship.

King Keluo was also afraid that Xue Nuo and them would turn their faces afterwards, and he was even more afraid that the court would investigate it in the future.

Xue Nuo's riotous operation came, and he directly recruited people from the Luo Wang family to enter the palace in the name of the new emperor.

Xue Nuo got 40,000 elite soldiers from Jiangpu, countless armaments and weapons, and at the same time, King Luo's niece became the first woman Xue Nuo sent back to the capital.

At that time, although Ying Yuanyu was stunned, he also understood that Xue Nuo lacked everything in his hands, and felt that one more concubine in the harem could be exchanged for King Luo's heart, and it was worth it to win the Shuozhou victory as soon as possible, so he put people into the harem and gave him a good position for his leniency.

But I never thought that this was just the beginning!

After that, every once in a while, Xue Nuo would ask people to send some beautiful women back to Beijing, sometimes one or two, sometimes three or four, and those women were either relatives of feudal princes, or daughters of powerful clans and military armies in various places.

When people enter Beijing, it is impossible for Ying Yuanyu to hang out.

In addition, with the matter of King Luo in front of him, rejecting other women will only make those people uneasy.

Afraid that there would be chaos, Ying Yuanyu could only put all the people into the harem, so that in just over two years, he originally had only one queen and two concubines, and his harem was so full that he couldn't remember the faces of those concubines.

Shen Zhongkang looked at the new emperor's troubled face, and couldn't help asking, "Who is the eldest princess sent back this time?" ”

"I heard that it is the sister of Lu Changcun, the commander of the Shuoyongguan garrison."

Seeing Shen Zhongkang laughing, Ying Yuanyu directly held his head and complained,

"In the past, she just wanted to fight Shuozhou, but now that Shuozhou has been defeated, she still sells favors to me."

What he knows is that he is sympathetic to his subordinates and wants to appease all places with concubines.

I don't know and think he's selling himself, making him look like a little girl......

"Tell me about her, how can a little girl's family hold such a grudge."

"At the beginning, the queen just mentioned that the Qin family and Changyuan raw rice should be cooked and cooked, but didn't that happen, how can she keep remembering it until now, she sends people back to Beijing every three or five days, and the queen is so angry every time that her face is blue, and even her nose is not a nose to me, and her eyes are not eyes."

He and the queen are young husband and wife, and they share hardships and sorrows, and they can't talk about their deep love, but he is different from the queen after all.

If it's just an ordinary choice of concubines, forget it, occasionally fill a few to deal with those people in the court, and the queen will not be unhappy.

But Xue Nuo came here every three or five times, and the women sent back were even more powerful than the other, but none of them lost to the queen with a net worth background, which made the queen's eyes red with anger.

Ying Yuanyu rarely returns to the harem recently, and he is so afraid that he will see the queen's eyes full of resentment as soon as he goes, as well as the room of warblers and warblers.

Instead of chattering non-stop at the eight hundred duck-like women, or playing tricks, or using tricks, either delivering soup or dancing, he can wear a tulle and sing a little song like a ghost on a cold day to "meet" him, he might as well stay in the imperial study to make folds.

He is willing to do his best for the great cause and die!

Shen Zhongkang knew that it would be a little unkind to laugh at this time, but he really couldn't hold back.

Xue Nuo's girl is really damaged.

Ying Yuanyu said angrily: "And Changyuan, I have been friends with him for many years, and he didn't stop Ah Yao, and he actually wrote a letter of yin and yang." ”

"When I turn around, I will give Ah Yao a few handsome young men, and then find a few appearance signs to send her in the backyard, don't be angry with him!"

Shen Zhongkang smiled even more when he heard this, but he didn't take the new emperor's words seriously, but just couldn't help but smile and said, "Did Your Majesty misunderstand?" Now that the war in Shuozhou has subsided, the eldest princess doesn't need to win people's hearts anymore, so how can she give it to you again. ”

Ying Yuanyu's eyes widened: "Then why did she send people back?" ”

Shen Zhongkang said: "The eldest princess probably didn't give people to His Majesty. ”

"Some time ago, Changyuan wrote a letter back to the old minister, saying that General Lu's parents died early, and his sister was nearly twenty years old apart from him, and she has always been pampered like a jewel.

"General Lu entrusted Changyuan and the eldest princess to send his sister into the capital and hand it over to his aunt, not only to stay in Beijing for a while, but also to take the opportunity to see if she could find a good husband for her sister."

Ying Yuanyu's eyes widened and blurted out: "Didn't you give it to me?" ”

Shen Zhongkang only smiled: "General Lu loves this sister very much, and he is like a father when he says he is a brother." ”

A bunch of unmarried men of school age in the south can't look down on them, how can they send Jiaojiao in the palm of their hands into the Longtan tiger's den in the palace?

Shen Zhongkang's words were not too clear, but the new emperor understood what he meant.

His expression froze suddenly, and he said, "So that's the case... Haha..."

Ying Yuanyu smiled embarrassedly, and said something else: "By the way, Shuozhou has been taken back, when will Ah Yao and Changyuan get married?" ”

Shen Zhongkang didn't break the stiffness of his forcible change of topic, and only followed his words: "Changyuan said that it will take a few months, and now Shuozhou is in ruins, he and the eldest princess can't take care of it, and Changyuan's mother is going to Shuozhou, the road is far away, and after I go, I will prepare for some big weddings, and it will almost be after the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Ying Yuanyu asked, "Yuanfu is not going?" ”

Shen Zhongkang shook his head: "The old minister is old, he can't withstand the long journey, and Changyuan's father's business hasn't been completed, so he doesn't have time to rush over, so just let Changyuan's mother lead a few small people in the house to go over." ”

Shen Zhongkang accompanied Ying Yuanyu to play a few words, and chatted for a while about the affairs of the court and the south, and when he left the palace, the sky was a little dark.

After sending Shen Zhongkang away, Ying Yuanyu sighed lightly.

"Your Majesty?" The eunuch asked, "But you're not feeling well?" ”

Ying Yuanyu shook his head: "I'm just thinking, no matter what I do, there are some things that can't go back." ”

Little Eunuch: "? ”

Ying Yuanyu ignored him, and only sighed faintly.

The eldest son of the Shen family got married, how could Shen Zhongkang, as a grandfather, not go because of the fatigue of traveling and driving, not only that, but even Shen Zhengtian stayed in Beijing under the pretense of official business, and only let the Zou family lead a few Shen family juniors to the south, he was obviously afraid that the people of the Shen family would go, and he, the emperor, would think more.

In fact, he was really not as complicated as Shen Zhongkang and the others thought, and he had never been suspicious of Shen Jie following Xue Nuo to the southland.

After forcing the palace at the beginning, Shen chose Yuan Qiao to give up on him, he was indeed angry, but after he got angry, he didn't blame Shen anymore, but in the eyes of the Shen family, they decided that Shen had "betrayed" him, and the two could never go back to the past, even Shen Zhongkang, who taught him a lot in the past and helped him, was a little cautious and tentative when facing him.

He tested his bottom line little by little, showing the loyalty of the Shen family all the time.

In the eyes of the Shen family, he is the emperor and the king, and he is no longer the crown prince who can share hardships with them and say everything.

Ying Yuanyu actually wanted to go to Shuozhou, wanted to see Yuan Yao's wedding, and he even wanted Yuan Yao and them to come back to Beijing, and he would hold a big wedding for them that everyone was envious of.

He would prepare a dowry for her for many, many years, and he would teach Shen a lesson so that he would treat her well, and he could even marry her in a beautiful way as a brother.

But......

Ying Yuanyu smiled bitterly.

She probably didn't want to.

A lot of things seemed to be the same as before, but he knew that they had changed.

Even if Ah Yao still called him the prince's brother before he left Beijing, the little girl who would let him hold him on the tree, would be coquettish to him, and would playfully pull him to hide behind him after causing trouble was finally gone.

There are things that can't go back to the way they used to be.

Some people, too.

"Your Majesty..."

The little eunuch looked at the loneliness on his face and couldn't help but let out a low voice.

Ying Yuanyu cleaned up his emotions, and after a while, he became the wise and wise emperor again: "Go and tell the queen that the eldest princess Zhaochen is getting married, and let her prepare a congratulatory gift." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
