The day after moving into the palace, King Qian received the latest news from Jiankang.

"Hua Shaojin, an old horseman, has been in the officialdom for decades, controlling the court, forming a party for personal gain, and acting in front of outsiders, but in fact, he is incorruptible, shameful, despicable and dirty."

Mr. Zhang's hand holding the teacup shook slightly, and he slandered in his heart, since Hua Shaojin is so unbearable, why do you still want to be a son and daughter with him, prince?

To put it bluntly, I didn't take a fancy to the power of Washington at the beginning, and felt that Washington's status in the imperial court was worthy of your lintel.

Now that he has lost power, the prince who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun in the land of Gyeonggi at the beginning also knew that he had fallen into the well.

However, having said that, even if the prince falls into the well, it is what their Hua family deserves.

I think that the reason why they were able to come to Lingnan in the first place was due to Hua Shaojin's hard work.

Although they have calculations in it, Hua Shaojin is undeniable about the fall of their Qian Palace.

Now that Washington has suffered from the seedlings, Mr. Zhang only feels very happy and has no sympathy at all.

"Now that Washington has been copied by the new emperor, and the Hua family has been imprisoned, looking at the new emperor's actions, he did not kill the Hua family and cut off their heads, so the most likely thing is to take the family and exile." Mr. Zhang looked at Mr. Yan and asked, "I just don't know where the emperor will exile the Hua family?" ”

Exile to Lingnan, exile to Mobei, exile to Liaodong, or exile to the southwest?

Mr. Yan thought for a while and said: "It is possible in other places, because there is a prince here in Lingnan, it is impossible for the new emperor to send the Hua family to Lingnan." ”

Lingnan has the royal government to take care of, and sending the Hua family here cannot achieve the purpose of hardship and transformation.

To be honest, Mr. Yan admired the new emperor quite a bit through this matter, and I don't know how he came up with such a method, and he quickly resorted to thunderous means to convict Shoufu of copying the family!

King Qian gloated and smiled: "If you want this king, it is best to send his family to Mobei, where the wind and sand are big, the water source is small, the winter is cold and the summer is warm, and the purpose of exile can be fully achieved. Let Hua Lao Pifu, a person who is accustomed to the prosperity of the world, experience the hardships of the low-level people! ”

Mr. Zhang shook his head helplessly, "Lord Wang, don't forget, he is your son and daughter's in-laws, and now that we have received this news, do you want to inform the uncle?" ”

The smile on King Qian's face froze slightly, and he thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Tell the boss, as for whether he will tell his daughter-in-law after listening, we don't care." ”

Mr. Zhang shook his head, the prince was so unconcerned about his family, he used to have a bad reputation in Gyeonggi, his words and deeds were out of line, and most of the ministers in the court hated him and disdained to be in the company of him.

In the end, he was transferred to Lingnan by Hua Shaojin, and no one in the court spoke for him, otherwise the will to come to Lingnan would not have been successfully issued.

"Lord, uncle asks to see."

The doorkeeper knocked softly.

King Qian was stunned for a moment, "It's really a coincidence, does the boss know the news?" ”

Mr. Yan reminded, "Maybe the uncle came to find the prince for something else." ”

"Oh, that's right." King Qian looked at Anu who was standing next to him, "Let him in." ”

"Father."

Li Chengshang came in and saluted King Qian.

"Sit down."

King Qian carefully observed the eldest son's expression, and did not see panic or urgency on his face, wondering in his heart, did the eldest son not know the situation of the Hua family?

"Did you come here today?"

Li Chengshang felt the coolness of the study, and said "um", "I came here because I wanted to discuss something with my father." ”

King Qian casually asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The two gentlemen in the study all looked at Li Chengshang, and wondered what he had come to discuss with the prince?

Anu saw Li Chengshang looking at the ice basin in the corner of the study from time to time, and he chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Chengshang opened his mouth, what he said was related to the ice basin.

"Father, your study is so cool, people don't want to go out after staying in it for a long time."

As an elder, it was impossible for King Qian to pay attention to Li Chengshang's expression at all times, and after listening to his words, he replied without thinking: "The reason why this king's study is so cool is that it is all piled up with silver. If you also want to be cold, you can put a few more pieces of ice in the room. ”

Li Chengshang smiled helplessly, "My father knows that we have lost our property in Gyeonggi, and Lingnan is a newcomer, so it is impossible to produce immediately if we want to buy an industry. For example, when we use ice in the summer, we control the amount to half of the usual amount, so that we can save a lot of money in the summer. ”

King Qian was stimulated by Li Chengshang's helpless smile, when will the people in his Qian Palace's Mansion have to live frugally?

Therefore, he didn't think much about it, and said with a little hatred: "When did the people of our Qianwang Mansion need to be so picky and searched in their lives?" If you want to buy ice, go to your mother and ask her to give you a discount, but you can't get enough money to make a credit account, and then settle it after the autumn. It's all a family, and this king doesn't believe that the princess will not make it convenient for you. ”

Li Chengshang smiled embarrassedly: "It's better to rely on others than on yourself, it's not good after all, outsiders don't know and think that we are going to beat the autumn wind of the mother's concubine as a son." ”

After listening to Li Chengshang's words, he said angrily: "Since this is the case, then you should continue to endure it, and wait until you are too hot to stand it or earn enough silver to buy ice." ”

Lee Seung-sang: "."

I almost forgot that my father was an old gentleman, and he was an impatient person when he treated people and things.

Mr. Zhang shook the fan slowly, pursed his lips and held back a smile without showing it.

Look, the uncle wants to calculate the princess, although the prince didn't notice it, but the instinct of the gentleman is still very strong in the sense of danger.

"No, father, I mean" Li Chengshang scratched his nose, but still spoke: "I mean it's a pity that the concubine's ice shop is only sold in Fucheng, with the relationship between our Qianwang Mansion, we can do business all over Lingnan or expand to other state capitals." The business is only in Fucheng, and I don't know how much silver I will lose in a summer? ”

King Qian thought about the popularity of the ice cube business in Fucheng, and then thought about how hot the business would be if all the towns in Lingnan opened an ice shop? How much silver must flow to the palace every day?

If you are a little more ambitious, spread the ice all over the other cities.

I can't imagine that it is really a mountain of gold and silver smashing towards the palace.

Li Chengshang noticed King Qian's eyes, and knew that he was moved, so he continued to persuade him: "I see that the mother concubine has no plans to become bigger and stronger, if the mother concubine does not want to expand to other cities, this business will not be done in vain, instead of letting the silver go down the drain, it is better for us to help her spread the ice all over other towns, what do you think, father?" ”

The other three people in the study were quite shocked, they didn't expect the uncle to be so ambitious, and he wanted to spread the ice all over other cities, and his ambition was not small.

King Qian was a little excited, since he arrived in Lingnan, he was short of money, very short of money, and now a business that is sure to make money without losing money is in front of him, does he accept it or refuse?

"Your idea is good, I'll discuss this matter with your mother."

Li Chengshang saw that King Qian agreed, and his joy was overflowing, "This matter has been bothered by King Lao's father." ”

King Qian waved his hand absently and handed him the news he had just received, "This is set aside in advance, you better take a look at this news first." ”

The most important thing this time is that King Qian has come down, Li Chengshang's expression relaxed, and he didn't think much about it, and he took the letter happily and looked down.

"Is this true, Father?"

"How could the king lie to you about such a thing!" King Qian glared at him.

Li Chengshang couldn't believe it, "How can this be?" How did you raid your home? ”

He used to need the support of his father-in-law in the court if he wanted to inherit the throne smoothly, but now that the Hua family has been raided, he will have a big help behind him in the future, and the impact on him will be too great.

So much so that Li Chengshang didn't know how to go back to the backyard in a daze.

Mr. Zhang watched Li Chengshang leave, sighed, and turned around: "This incident has hit the uncle too hard, and it seems to make him a little unbearable." ”

"People who are dozens of years old always have to learn to withstand pressure." King Qian said indifferently.

For him, the most important thing is to live happily, and let them handle the affairs of their juniors, and he is too lazy to worry about it.

If he hadn't come to Lingnan and been in Gyeonggi, as long as there was nothing important in the palace, he would generally not ask about the affairs of the palace, let alone the affairs of his sons' rooms.

Mr. Yan coughed and had to remind him, "Cough, Lord Wang, the method of making ice was thought up by the princess, you just promised the uncle, the princess is there"

King Qian's face froze, and he hesitated slightly, "In this matter, the princess is not so stingy, right?" We don't compete with her in Fucheng, we just want to spread the ice further and make more money. ”

Mr. Zhang shook his head, as soon as King Qian spoke, he felt that this matter was unreliable, according to his understanding of the princess, what she cared about was not a method of making ice, what she cared about should be the attitude of the prince.

As for whether he guessed correctly or not, we can only wait and see.

Recently, the local tyrants have been going very smoothly to divide the fields, and it is not a big deal to watch the excitement left and right, and it is not bad for everyone to watch the prince's deflated food together.

King Qian has something hidden in his heart, and he can't be at peace when he sits in the study, anyway, sticking out his head is a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife, so it's better to go directly to the backyard to find the princess and see what she says?

He entered the Yigui Courtyard with apprehension, and the little maid who liked to plant last time was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard again.

The little maid was the first to notice him this time, so she stopped what she was doing, and bowed to him on her knees.

King Qian ignored her, took Anu past her, and went directly to the main room.

The mother-in-law who was sitting in the corridor outside the door saw King Qian's master and servant, and hurriedly stood up to salute, "The old slave has seen the prince, the prince is safe." ”

Hongmei in the house heard the movement outside, lifted the curtain and walked out, "Hongmei has seen the prince." ”

"Where's the princess?"

"The princess is in the house."

Hongmei opened the curtain and let King Qian walk in.

Anu consciously stood at the door and acted as the door god, Hongmei glanced at him, and saw that he had a paralyzed face and an expressionless face, so he lowered the door curtain and followed in.

Xia Jing flipped through the account book, silently calculated in her heart, heard the footsteps and looked up at the door, and saw the person who came with a slightly stunned expression, "Why are you here?" ”

"Things are almost busy, come and see you." King Qian walked over to the desk and sat down.

Xia Jing obviously didn't believe it, "You have such a good heart? ”

King Qian touched his nose weakly, noticed the account book in her hand, and changed the topic and asked, "What book is the princess reading?" ”

Xia Jing held up the ledger in her hand to him.

King Qian looked at it fixedly, "It's an account book, and this king thinks you're reading a book." ”

"It's the current account of a few shops in Fucheng." Xia Jing explained.

"Oh."

King Qian looked at this living room, which was spacious and bright, and there were dark rooms on the left and right, which was convenient for the maid to rest and do things.

"Are you used to living here?"

"Fortunately, it's more comfortable than living in the backyard of the government." Xia Jing told the truth and recorded the results of her mental calculations on the last page of the ledger.

Closing the account book, Xia Jing raised her eyes to look at him, "Just say what you have to do today, don't be too timid." ”

When King Qian heard this, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and he was stunned? He is not a woman, "Princess, how can you use such words to describe this king?" ”

Xia Jing leaned back relaxed, "Then do you want to say things now or not?" ”

King Qian: "."

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said the purpose of coming, "This king thinks the boss's proposal is good, what do you think?" ”

"I don't think so?" Xia Jing won't give face to King Qian in this matter, the method of making ice is hers, and it depends on whether she agrees or not.

If you want to open a store and come to her directly, talk sincerely, Xia Jing is not an unreasonable person, maybe she will really hand over the management rights of other cities, and only get a little bonus every month.

However, a few good sons did not come to her, but calculated her behind her back, how could she agree to King Qian's opinion.

King Qian didn't expect Xia Jing to refuse directly without giving any face, "Isn't this a bad idea?" ”

Xia Jing shook her head: "We don't talk about the merits of this idea, I just ask you if you came up with the method of making ice?" ”

King Qian nodded: "You think." ”

"It was I who came up with it and it belonged to me, and you agreed to the big house without my permission and without consulting me." Xia Jing was very disgusted by King Qian's way of doing things first, "You play very smoothly with others, that is, you didn't think that I would refuse before you opened your mouth to agree?" ”

"Or are you not taking my rejection seriously at all?"

King Qian didn't understand very well: "This matter is beneficial to you and me, it is a win-win situation, why do you refuse?" ”

Xia Jing raised her head proudly, "Am I the one who sees money?" What I mind is that when you decide what I do, you decide without my consent and don't know how to respect me at all. ”

In her past and present lives, Xia Jing hated others being her masters very much.

Especially the kind of people who always think that you are good as an excuse and help make decisions without authorization.

King Qian didn't understand Xia Jing's thoughts very well, "Why doesn't this king respect you?" Isn't this king here to discuss with you, if you think you can, you can agree, if you don't think you can't, just refuse. ”

Xia Jing looked at him with a smile and said word by word: "I-refuse-no!" ”

King Qian: "You"

Xia Jing cleaned up the ledger on the desk and ordered the eviction, "Okay, I've refused, you can go back." ”
