After the prince enters the play

Chapter 324 Chapter 325: King Rong is building the city wall
The queen felt that there was a lot to do in this matter, although it was a bit difficult, she could give it a try.

After making up his mind, he looked at Su Xinyi and said, "I already know about this matter, you can go back and wait for the news."

"Thank you, mother, my daughter-in-law is leaving." Su Xinyi smiled and got up to salute, then turned and left.

After Su Xinyi left, the queen looked at Zhao Mama and said, "King Xiang is going to be in trouble."

Zhao Momo didn't understand for a while, so she heard the Empress sigh and said: "Didn't the Crown Princess just scare King Rong at the hunting ground?"

Zhao Momo remembered in an instant that there was such a thing, and she saved His Highness in the hunting ground.

"Empress, even if this is the case, does the princess still want to attack King Xiang in the hunting ground? This is impossible, there are so many people." Zhao Mama said hesitantly, the princess is not stupid, such a matter of giving people a handle How can I do it.

The queen scoffed, "Since she dared to speak, there must be a way. Don't forget, she has been with the mountains and wild animals since she was a child. It's not that she wanted King Xiang's life, but just to frighten him and make him feel ashamed. not easy?"

Mother Zhao: ...

What the empress said makes sense, it seems that it is really possible, then King Xiang is really going to be unlucky.

Zhao Momo suddenly became happy, looked at the queen and said: "If it is really possible, the empress will be able to vent her anger. Back then, His Royal Highness Rong Wang was frightened by the Crown Princess, and Li Guifei still laughed at it."

Mother Zhao was not very happy when she mentioned this matter. Why did the Empress dislike the Crown Princess in the first place? It was not Concubine Li who fanned the flames, so that the relationship between the Empress and the Crown Princess was not good before.

Now that she sees that the Empress and the Crown Princess are getting more and more harmonious, Mother Zhao is actually relieved. His Royal Highness Rong Wang looks bad-tempered, but he is actually kind-hearted, and he has no ambitions for the crown prince at all. His Royal Highness is fighting, but His Royal Highness doesn't want to fight at all.

Since there is no dispute, we can only win over. Finally, the relationship between the Empress and the Crown Princess has eased a lot, and Mother Zhao naturally hopes to continue.

"Your Majesty, how do you want to make this happen?" Zhao Mama felt that if the Empress directly talked to His Majesty about this matter, she might not be able to achieve what she wanted.

The queen said: "In the battle of Zhangping Mansion, King Xiang didn't have any credit, and Concubine Li Gui was more anxious than anyone else. As long as there is a chance for King Xiang to stand out, Concubine Li Gui will definitely not let it go. If you release the news, you will It was said that the palace hunt could not be held this year, so someone proposed to hold it at the hunting ground in the capital."

After hearing what the empress said, Zhao mama said suspiciously: "My empress, can it be done like this?"

"I have to try if it works. If it doesn't work, I'll go see Your Majesty again. However, Concubine Li Gui is more anxious than us now, and she is looking forward to the opportunity to let King Xiang show off her demeanor so as to overwhelm the crown prince." The queen said coldly He opened his face, and now he misses his son very much. If his son is still there, he can go to His Majesty to ask for it, and he can't do it by himself.

My son is used to this kind of eating, drinking and having fun, and His Majesty is no stranger to it.

It's a pity that no one is there.

The son is not here, so the mother can only take over.

Zhao Nanny thought about it carefully, and felt that this matter should not make Yuzhao Palace think it was Yuanhui Palace's idea, and she had to avoid the Empress Empress to avoid Li Guifei's suspicion.

After much deliberation, Zhao Mama made someone deliberately leak the news in front of Concubine Qi Xian. Concubine Qi Xian has always been on the fence, whichever side is strong, the other side will fall. With such news, it is to give Concubine Li Gui If you sell well, you will also talk about it.

Su Xinyi didn't know that Madam Zhao had set her mind on Concubine Qi Xian. As soon as she returned to the East Palace, Zhang Jian came with the former queen's warehouse booklet.

"Crown Princess, the things have been put into the warehouse. Your Highness told the Crown Princess to take care of it, so my subordinates sent the brochure." Zhang Jian said respectfully.

This was left to His Royal Highness by the previous empress, but His Highness gave it to the Crown Princess without even trying.

Zhang Jian already knew that the crown princess was very important to His Highness, but now it seems that it is even more important than he thought.

Su Xinyi was not surprised. She and His Highness had not mentioned where these things belonged before, but now that His Highness sent them to her, she actually felt that His Highness would do this.

Delphinium finally handed the brochure to the Crown Princess, then bent down and stepped aside.

Su Xinyi picked up the booklet and flipped through it, it was quite thick, flipped through a few pages at random, and saw that there were many good things on it, she didn't expect the former queen's private savings to be so rich.

"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Zhang. Since the items have already been stored, let's seal them up first." Su Xinyi didn't plan to use these items, and if His Highness needed them, he would just open the storage.

Zhang Jian responded with a word of resignation, walked out of Deyang Hall and smiled, the princess was really frank, she just kept it in the warehouse and sealed it, and she was not moved at all, you must know that when the things were put into the warehouse, he felt his heart pounding Jump.

No wonder His Highness trusts the Crown Princess so much.

Zhang Jian returned to the Mingguang Palace to report, Yan Junchu nodded casually, waved his hand to let Zhang Jian back down, and continued to discuss the follow-up matters of Zhangping Mansion with Wang Ce and others.

"Your Highness, His Highness Rong Wang said in the letter that the damaged city walls at Zhangping Mansion were repaired, and the damaged ordnance was supplemented and repaired. In addition, there were supplements for the frontier army. These are not trivial matters. We have recruited military households from all over the country to go to Zhangping Mansion, but the newly recruited military households still need to practice, which will take time..."

Although Wang Ce's voice was neither too fast nor too slow, he could still hear a faint sense of anxiety.

Although the Tatars were defeated and retreated, they did not know when they would make a comeback. Zhangping Mansion, Yulin Guard, and Yunxiang Guard, the guard cities that had suffered from the war, would cost a lot of money just to repair them.

In addition, there are damaged good fields that need to be recultivated, the people need to be appeased, and food and grass need to be replenished.

A lot of money was spent, but the Ministry of Household Affairs did not allocate so much money, and I don't know how much time it would take to gossip.

The national treasury is not full, and the Minister of the Ministry of Households is like an iron cock. Pulling out a feather is harder than reaching the sky.

July is coming soon, and the summer farming season is almost over. I don't know how much farmland in Zhangping Prefecture has been replanted. If the replanting is not timely, I am afraid that this year's winter rations will be a problem.

Wang Ce is so ugly that he is going bald on the top of his head recently, but he can't think of a better way.

Huang Zhongsheng looked at His Highness the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, this matter can be big or small, and I feel that the Ministry of Household Affairs should deal with this matter."

Asking for money and spending money has always been the responsibility of the Ministry of Accounting. Now the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting shrank his neck and kept silent, wanting His Highness to come forward. Is this a human thing?
At this time, Jiang Jun, Minister of the Household Department, was sighing in his study, half of the notebooks were spread out on the desk, and the remaining half could not be written.

Hey.

Mrs. Jiang came in with some snacks, looked at her husband, and said, "Still worried?"

Jiang Jun watched his wife come in, cheered up and said, "Why are you here? Ruo Lan is about to get married, and you have to prepare for her marriage."

Mrs. Jiang opened the food box and brought out a cup of ginseng tea and several plates of dim sum on the table, "Master, let's eat something first, Ruo Lan's dowry is almost ready, so don't worry."

Jiang Jun was indeed a little hungry. Although he had no appetite, he still sat at the table and ate slowly.

Mrs. Jiang sat with her, and said softly, "Is it because of Zhangping Mansion?"

Jiang Jun nodded slightly, "Two years ago, the war with the Tatars was almost bottomed out. In the past two years, natural disasters have continued in various places. Your Majesty pursued a benevolent government to reduce and exempt taxes. In fact, the treasury has not been filled much. This year's battle has brought the bottom to the bottom Empty. Now Zhangping Mansion needs money for the follow-up repairs and security matters, but the Ministry of Households has no spare money."

Hubu Shangshu's seat looks at the scenery, whoever sits knows how hot his ass is.

Jiang Jun had long wanted to change jobs, but His Majesty disagreed.

Mrs. Jiang saw her husband was so worried that he couldn't eat any more, thought for a while and said, "I heard from Mrs. Yue that the salt-selling land in the south of the Yangtze River is very rich..."

Master Jiang interrupted his wife, "No, have you forgotten about Li Ji?"

Didn't Li Ji just pour it on Yanyin?
"Your temper is really getting more and more anxious. You should listen to me." Mrs. Jiang said angrily, "I heard Mrs. Yue say that salt is rare, and many businessmen can't get it. It's for nothing. There is nowhere to spend money."

"After Li Ji arrived, the imperial court became stricter on the management of the salt. If anyone can buy the salt with silver, wouldn't it be a mess?" Jiang Jun said in a deep voice.

"You said that Yanyin also has sales outlets. You said that if you sell Yanyin from the northwest to the salt merchants in the south, will it work?" Mrs. Jiang didn't understand this, but she listened to Mrs. Yue's talk a lot. I also have some ideas of my own.

Jiang Jun was taken aback, looked at his wife and said, "What did you say?"

"I mean, let the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River get the salt from the northwest, and transport the salt to the northwest, wouldn't it be enough?"

"Shipping salt to the northwest?" Jiang Jun frowned and repeated.

Mrs. Jiang also said casually, and said with a smile: "I only got this idea after hearing what Mrs. Yue said, and I don't know if it can be done."

"The road to the northwest is far away, and the cost of transporting salt used to be more expensive than salt. Who can do it for ordinary businessmen?" To be plotted against, one needs to be escorted. Not everyone can do this business.

How could Mrs. Jiang understand this? After hearing what her husband said, there was no other way, "Then there is no other way."

Jiang Jun always felt that something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it for a while, so he got up and spun around the room with his hands behind his back.

Mrs. Jiang saw that the stubbornness was coming up again, so she quietly packed her things and went back.

Jiang Jun was like a donkey pulling a mill. He stopped for countless times and went straight to Prime Minister Wang's mansion without changing his clothes.

Prime Minister Wang was discussing with his wife about his daughter's marriage. There were many twists and turns in her daughter's marriage, and he had seen several of them. If there was a problem with this or that, Mrs. Wang would be very worried.

Su Xinyi, who is about the same age as her daughter, is married, and Jiang Ruolan is also waiting to get married. Even Han Wenyin's marriage is settled. She is her father's student. Although she is only an editor of the Hanlin now, she is following the way of the Hanlin. As long as you walk steadily and well, your future will not be bad after more than ten years, but it's just a matter of time and qualifications.

Mrs. Wang looked at her husband and said, "Second Mrs. Su asked someone to pass me a message. Do you think our family should marry the Duke of Qi?"

Civil and military are different, Mrs. Wang doesn't know what her husband means, but her daughter's marriage is really a headache for her.

"Who are you talking about?" Prime Minister Wang frowned when he heard that Duke Qi's mansion had a princess. Marriage with them would be beneficial, but the corresponding dangers were also extremely high.

"It's the second son of the Su family, Su Qi." Mrs. Wang had seen Su Qi before, and she thought he was a handsome scholar before, but who would have thought that he would come back with meritorious service this time, and he would become a hundred households.

Of course, a hundred households are not considered high-ranking officials, but this is Su Qi's first expedition with him and he can bring back a hundred households. It has to be said that the children of the Su family really live up to the prestige of their ancestors.

Mrs. Wang has a good impression of Su Qi, but she doesn't know what her husband thinks.

"Why did the Su family want to tell us this?" Prime Minister Wang looked at his wife and asked.

Mrs. Wang said: "Master, Mrs. Su's niece, have you forgotten?"

Prime Minister Wang really didn't remember it for a while, and his face froze for a while.

Fourth Mrs. Su has been very low-key these years, with almost no sense of presence, making people forget that her natal family is Gao's.The only thing that can be remembered is that she is the aunt of the crown princess. If you don't think about it carefully, you can't remember that her father is a senior scholar.

Prime Minister Wang was silent.

Mrs. Wang is very optimistic about Su Qi. He is good-looking and capable. The key is that he studied in the past, and he is also a little famous in the college. Sorry about the difference between civil and military.

She was afraid that her husband would disagree.

"Master, I see that Su Qi's child is very good. Although he has abandoned literature and pursued martial arts now, he earned a hundred households and came back from the first expedition. He will definitely have a good future in the future. Besides, this child has a good character. People are also strictly controlled, there are no messy people around, Yingyao is a bit arrogant, this marriage has not been going well, I am afraid that she will think wildly..." Mrs. Wang really thinks this marriage is good, so what if there is a difference between civil and military, The princess is still wielding a gun and sticking a stick, isn't she chosen by His Majesty to marry the prince.

If it was before, who would believe that a princess is so tough?

Your Majesty has such a clear vision in choosing a daughter-in-law, and their family has to stick to the rules when choosing a son-in-law. Naturally, the daughter is the most important thing.

"Let me think about it." Prime Minister Wang was also annoyed, this marriage is a big deal, if the marriage is not good, the entire family may be lost.

At this time, someone came to report that Mr. Jiang had arrived.

Prime Minister Wang was quite surprised. Why did Jiang Jun come to him at this time?

As soon as Mrs. Wang had guests, she got up and went back to the backyard. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the marriage was okay, and she turned around and went to her daughter's yard.

Wang Yingyao didn't go out recently, she was bored in the room reading a book, and when she heard her mother came, she got up to greet her.

"Mother, why are you here?" Wang Yingyao asked her mother with a smile as she welcomed her into the door.

Mrs. Wang felt bitter when she saw the smile on her daughter's face, and she didn't want her to think too much, so she said, "I'm here to see you, are you studying again?"

"It's okay to be idle, just read a few pages casually." Wang Yingyao said.

Mrs. Wang looked at her daughter and tried to make her tone sound normal, "Your sister-in-law came back to her mother's house today and said that the second young master of the Su family sealed off a hundred households. Have you heard?"

Wang Yingyao shook her head, "Sister-in-law told me what to do with this, but Xin Yi must be happy if Second Young Master Su seals off a hundred households."

"Don't call the concubine by her boudoir name outside." Mrs. Wang said hastily.

"I know, I won't." Wang Yingyao nodded with a smile. She and Xin Yi hadn't seen each other for a long time, and being a princess is not as comfortable as before.

"What do you think of Second Young Master Su?"

"How about what?" Wang Yingyao asked inexplicably, "I'm not familiar with him, how can I know if I haven't met him a few times..." After a pause, she looked at her mother, "Mother, what do you want to say? "

Mrs. Wang: ...

Knowing that her daughter is smart, she might have thought of what she said, coughed lightly, and pretended to be natural, "It's nothing, it's just that Mrs. Su likes you very much, and she asked someone to tell you that she wants to marry our family."

Wang Yingyao was stunned, her mind was in a mess, and the face of Second Young Master Su, who hadn't much impression before, was completely blank at the moment.

"How is this possible, father will definitely not agree." Wang Yingyao said.

"You don't care what your father does, you just say what you think." Mrs. Wang looked at her daughter and asked.

Wang Yingyao stopped asking again, and said after a while, "My daughter doesn't know either, and I don't know Second Young Master Su well."

Mrs. Su thought so too, she thought about it and said: "Why don't you find a chance to meet?"

"Mother." Wang Yingyao shook her head, "You have to discuss it with your father first, and then say that he is the elder brother of the Crown Princess. If our family marry the Su family, it will be equivalent to getting on the prince's boat. My father may not be willing. not see."

Don't make it to the end, the friendship between her and Xin Yi has changed, and they can't be friends anymore.

Mrs. Wang's heart became even more sad when she heard her daughter's words. She patted her hand and said slowly: "Okay, mother understands. I'm not in a hurry. We'll talk about it after your father has discussed it."

Her daughter is both talented and beautiful, why is her marriage so rough.

In the study in front, Prime Minister Wang was stunned when he heard Jiang Shangshu's words.

"Salt introduction replacement?" Prime Minister Wang looked at Jiang Shangshu in astonishment and asked.

Jiang Jun nodded, "Brother Wang, to tell you the truth, the Ministry of Households is really empty. Most of the army's expedition costs, and the rewards for the three armies after the war, and the follow-up post-war matters are free of money. If the money is spent, the household department can't stand it."

Prime Minister Wang knows that Jiang Jun is an iron rooster. He has regarded the Ministry of Households more strictly than his own for so many years, so His Majesty never thought of letting him move to another place. Now that he is crying to himself, it can be seen that the Ministry of Households really has no food left. .

"You can't open your mouth about this matter lightly. It's a very important matter. I'm afraid that a bad envoy will turn against you." Prime Minister Wang frowned.

Jiang Jun looked at Prime Minister Wang. The two had been friends for many years. Although there were times when they confronted each other in court, they were all for business. At this moment, he said softly, "You forgot what Rong Wang did when he went south?"

"Why don't you say that King Rong is going south, and now you can build the city wall in Zhangping Mansion." Prime Minister Wang said that he was very impressed with King Rong when he said this. Such an overlord who walks sideways in the capital, did not expect that one day he would be able to do such a thing. .

　Third more.
