Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 606
After getting the emperor's promise that he would use the money and food from the inner treasury to redeem it with the household department, Shen Shangshu left the Hall of Martial Arts contentedly.

However, he apparently forgot one thing.

According to the usual practice, only local taxes will be allocated to the national treasury. As for some windfall income, such as confiscated property, under normal circumstances, it belongs to the internal treasury.

If it is said that the money for the redemption of the army’s garrisoned acres this time was issued by the Ministry of Households, then maybe we can discuss it in the end, but if it was originally the redemption silver from the internal treasury...

In short, Shen Shangshu left alone. As an old fox who has been up and down in the officialdom for many years, he naturally knows that he should know what he should know, and avoid what he should not know as soon as possible.

As a result, only Yu Qian, Fan Guang and Zhennan Wang were left in the hall.

Up to now, the people called by the emperor have basically used everything that should be used. The only thing that has not been mentioned is...

"Fan Dudu, have you been busy recently?"

Looking at the gentle face of the emperor, Fan Guang felt a little apprehensive and said.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is indeed a bit busy, but getting married is a happy event, and I have a lot of energy in my heart."

After the words fell, King Zhennan couldn't help but support his forehead in his heart. His in-laws are really...

If Your Majesty wanted to ask about the marriage, he just asked by the way, would he wait until now?
You know, he has a special status, he is a member of the royal family, and he ran all the way from the fief to the capital, busy with his son's crown marriage.

Therefore, it is natural to talk about these things in front of the emperor, and as a clan, you can't talk about other things.

But, Dudu Fan, you are a serious court official!
The emperor asked you if you were busy, and you said that you were busy with your daughter's marriage every day?
Without Naihe, the fat prince could only cough lightly, with a smile on his face, and said.

"To tell you the truth, your Majesty, this marriage is in a hurry, and the back house alone can't manage it. Therefore, these days, the minister and Fan Dudu are also busy."

"Especially Dudu Fan. After handling the affairs of the military mansion every day, he has to confirm various details with the minister after he leaves the government office. I'm afraid his legs are running thin."

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, but only glanced at King Zhennan lightly, so the smile on his face froze immediately, and then he backed away embarrassingly, without saying a word.

However, after such a meddling, Fan Guang finally reacted, said.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. During this period of time, due to the approaching of the New Year's Eve and the marriage between the two governments, there are many affairs. In terms of the affairs of the military government, I am indeed a little slack. Please punish me."

Compared with the incomparably smooth King Zhennan, Fan Guang, who was born as a general, was obviously much more forthright.

In fact, this is also the reason why he and Yu Qian have similar temperaments.

Admit when you make a mistake, don't shirk, don't quibble, and be straightforward.

As a result, a smile appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face. What he valued was actually Fan Guang's courageous spirit.

Talking to a smart person like Zhennan Wang and doing things, it's easy to worry about, but it's really tiring.

Relatively speaking, it's much easier to face a general like Fan Guang who doesn't have so many twists and turns, and he doesn't even have to beat around the bush when he speaks.

"Since I know that I have been slack lately, I have to work harder to make up for it later!"

After reprimanding neither light nor heavy, Zhu Qiyu turned to the topic and said.

"Recently, Changping Marquis Yang Hong has been sick, and has repeatedly handed me the memorial, intending to resign from the position of Admiral of the Beijing Camp. It just so happens that the marriage between the Fan family and the Zhennan Palace will be completed after the year, and the children will have a place to go. , you can take office with peace of mind and serve the imperial court."

These words are not inquiries, but confirmations.

Therefore, Fan Guang didn't hesitate too much, he knelt down on the ground and performed a military salute, said.

"The minister leads the decree, and will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

"Okay, get up, this matter is not in a hurry, and when the dust of the marriage is settled, I will issue an order to Jingying."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, signaling Fan Guang to get up, and then continued to ask.

"Speaking of which, I heard that in the recent days, apart from preparing for the wedding, Fan's mansion also has all kinds of guests in an endless stream. I don't know, but is it true?"

Fan Guang didn't know what the emperor meant, but he nodded honestly and said.

"Your Majesty Meng asked, since the news that the little girl is going to marry the prince of Zhennan, there are indeed many honorable families who have not been close enough to come and walk around. It's easy to refuse, during this period of time, I have indeed stayed in the mansion more."

Seeing Fan Guang's 'honest' look, King Zhennan stood aside, feeling depressed again.

In-laws, don't worry about your absenteeism anymore, okay?The emperor has turned over this article, so what are you doing holding on to it?

These words are obviously asking, what is the current friendship between you and Jingzhong Xungui, and where did you answer it...

Sure enough, the emperor was also a little helpless for Fan Dudu, who was half a beat behind, so he simply asked directly.

"How many mansions are there?"

Fan Guang thought for a while, and said: "Most of the nobles in Beijing have sent invitations, but there are not many people who have visited the mansion. There are Duke Feng, Marquis of Wu'an, Marquis of Zhenyuan, Marquis of Yongkang, Marquis of Cheng'an, etc. How many people."

"By the way, Princess Changde also sent someone to the mansion, and gave the little girl a pair of scarlet gold hair."

When he heard the previous sentence, Zhu Qiyu still looked normal, but when he heard the latter sentence, he was stunned for a moment and asked.

"From the queen?"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Qiyu asked again: "But Concubine Xue sent it over?"

Fan Guang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, no, it was sent by the aunt in the mansion sent by the Eldest Princess, who said it was worn by the Eldest Princess when she got married, and said..."

At this point, Fan Guang's tone was heavy with doubts, he hesitated for a moment, but he continued.

"I also said that since the youngest daughter is married to the clan, it is a great blessing to be married by His Majesty himself. Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, has not seen the clan get married for a long time, so she should also be blessed."

It's no wonder Fan Guang was puzzled, what he said was really weird.

Who is Her Royal Highness the Princess?

That was the first emperor's direct daughter, the overlord and the only surviving elder sister of today's emperor. In terms of honor, no one could be more honorable than her except the empress dowager and empress.

Even though the Fan Mansion is a dignitary now, it is only because they climbed to the royal family and were lucky enough to be married to the prince of the Wang Mansion.

And Princess Changde is the royal family herself, and all the blessings in the world belong to the royal family, so there is no need for any blessing...

However, Fan Guang didn't understand, but Zhu Qiyu did.

After understanding, his complexion became a little complicated.

The blessing of Princess Changde is naturally enough. As the only surviving sister of the two brothers Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu, no matter what happens in the future, it will not affect her, a weak woman.

However, it was only herself. As for her husband, the son-in-law captain Xue Heng, that might not be the case.

Going through what Fan Guang just said in his mind again, Zhu Qiyu rubbed his forehead, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Xue Heng, the Xue family, Yangwuhou's mansion...
