After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 49
Du Fu
When Du Ximing returned home, before he could sit still, Mrs. Du asked impatiently, "How is the situation today?"

It was planned by the Du family that Du Ximing went to the General's Mansion today.

Ever since they knew that General Qu was going to find a marriage for her junior sister, the Du family became interested.

If it is just a general Qu, the Du family is not so determined to win, but there is a king of Chu behind General Qu.

Du Ximing recalled the situation in the General's Mansion today. General Qu treated him well, and he was even more enthusiastic towards him than when he was on the road before.

The King of Chu should be satisfied with himself, otherwise he wouldn't have taken him to the General's Mansion on purpose.

only……

Du Ximing frowned lightly, "King Chu and General Qu are polite to me, there is nothing to worry about them, it's just..."

Although Mrs. Du is also reluctant to part with her niece, her son's future is more important.She asked urgently:

"Just what?"

General Qu became the Princess of Chu, and she valued that junior sister the most. If her son could be supported by the King of Chu, his future would be really bright, even a second-rank official.

And his father is very likely to be promoted again, and will not work in this Honglu Temple without real power for the rest of his life.

Du Ximing's voice was a little erratic: "General Qu's junior sister is very cold to me."

"Is it because the girl is thin-skinned and embarrassed?"

Du Ximing lowered his eyes and did not answer Madam Du's question.

Mrs. Du could not see the expression in Du Ximing's eyes, she didn't know that Du Ximing's eyes were full of strangeness at the moment.

Imperial Palace Study Room

There are four brothers sitting in the imperial study room.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room at this time was not as pleasant as usual, but rather indescribably depressing.

"Youyuan, Huaicheng where you live has always been a place of prosperity. I originally left Huaicheng to Youbei. At the beginning, you begged me hard, saying that you had no savings, so I gave Huaicheng to you in a soft heart. you.

It's good now, you have only been there for a few years, and you have made the people of Huaicheng miserable.

Do you know how many officials have impeached you? "

Being reprimanded by the emperor, Duke Huai Ning Youyuan didn't dare to show his anger.

The emperor spun around in a hurry.

He likes to go in circles when he's angry and annoyed.

"I will now issue an imperial decree to take back the governance of Huai City.

In the future, Huaicheng will be handed over to the governor of Jianghuai, and I will ask him to transfer [-]% of Huaicheng's income to you. "

After hearing these words, Duke Huai quickly knelt down on the ground, and even reached out to hug the emperor's leg.

"Brother Huang, if you take back the governance rights of Huaicheng, how will you let your younger brother behave? Why don't you all think that I have made a heinous mistake?"

The emperor pulled out his leg forcefully.

"Aren't you making a mistake now?

Regardless of whether it is my dynasty or the previous dynasty, when did the Jianghuai area suffer from starvation?Fortunately, [-]% of the people are displaced.

If you let it go on, will the people of Jianghuai rebel? "

What the emperor said was the truth, King Huai couldn't tell the truth, so he had no choice but to continue playing the emotional card.

"Brother Huang, my brother didn't mean it. I don't know why this made it like this. Why don't you arrange someone to manage it for me, brother Huang, so how about not taking back the right to govern Huai City?"

The emperor didn't speak.

Duke Huai looked at Ning Youbei, "Youbei, please intercede for me."

Since the imperial brother has not issued an imperial edict, perhaps this matter can be turned around.

Ning Youbei decided to help Zhun Wang.

"Youyuan, who do you entrust to manage Huaicheng?"

Ning Youyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and quickly said:

"I just said how did Huaicheng become like this? It turned out that someone harmed me. Brother Huang, if you give me another chance, I will deal with that person after I go back. I will definitely manage Huaicheng well in the future."

Ning Youbei slapped his fan hand for a while, just wanting to cover his face with the fan.

What an idiot!
Even if he wants to shirk his responsibility, it's not like this. He will only make Brother Huang more angry when he says this.

Before the emperor spoke, Ning Youbei made things right for Duke Huai.

"Brother Huang, You Yuan is still young and inexperienced, so it's possible that he was deceived.

Since it's his first offense, you'll let him off this time.There are only four of us brothers left, and the emperor is still watching from the sky. "

Hearing what Ning Youbei said, the emperor's anger calmed down a little.

He doesn't really care if his father sees him in heaven or not, but he still cares about what the people in the world think of him.

Now there are only four brothers left, King Jing is unpredictable, and he doesn't know what troubles will happen in the future, so King Huai must keep them, and it is good to set a target for the world.

Having figured everything out, the emperor calmed down.

"This time, I will forgive you for the sake of Youbei pleading for you, but Huaicheng still can't let you mess around. I will send a long history to follow you to Huaicheng, and Huaicheng will let him help you in the future. governance."

Duke Huai quickly kowtowed a few times, "Thank you, Brother Huang."

"Get up first."

Duke Huai stood up and bowed to Ning Youbei again, "Thank you too, Youbei."

King Jing didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but the expression on his face was always calm, as if he had nothing to do with it.

The four brothers chatted a few more words, and King Jing proposed to leave Yudu.

"Your Majesty, the sacrificial ceremony for Emperor Father has passed. I have been in Yudu for nearly a month, and it is time to return."

The emperor pondered for a while, "That's fine, you can't leave Jingcheng for a long time, go see Duke Zhen before you go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although he said thank you, King Jing's expression and tone did not express gratitude, and he was still calm.

……

After King Jing and King Huai left, the Emperor asked Ning Youbei, "What do you think?"

Ning Youbei retracted the fan in his hand, and lightly slapped his left palm.

"Brother Huang, I feel that the matter in Huai City is not that simple.

Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers have always been rich and prosperous places, no matter how foolish Youyuan is, the people will not live in poverty and complain a lot in just a few years.I'm afraid someone is playing tricks behind the scenes. "

The emperor has completely calmed down at this time, he is thinking about everything carefully.

"According to what you say, Governor Jianghuai can't get away with it?"

"That's not good.

Fang Haichang is the Jianghuai salt transport envoy, but the salt tax revenue in recent years has not been as good as before. Counting the loss of several million taels of silver, where did the money go? "

Fang Haichang is the son of Prime Minister Fang.

The emperor understood what Ning Youbei meant.

Although the governor of Jianghuai is the highest administrative official in Jiangcheng and Huaicheng, Fang Haichang is in Jianghuai and controls the most profitable salt business in Jianghuai.

If it were someone else, the governor of Jianghuai would definitely be able to overwhelm him.It's a pity that it's Fang Haichang.

With Prime Minister Fang as his backer, Fang Haichang would never buy the account of the governor of Jianghuai, and the governor of Jianghuai would not dare to do anything to Fang Haichang.

The emperor turned around quickly again.

"Brother Huang, after I get married with Ah Chu, I will go to Jianghuai for you. This time, I will go in disguise."

The emperor stopped in circles.

"Okay, besides Jianghuai, you will go to Jingcheng again for me. At that time, I will announce to the outside world that you have brought General Qu back to the northern border defense."

The emperor is most worried about King Jing.
