Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 50 Return to Beijing quickly, Wanshou Tower (Please collect and read)

After Su Ran put down the southwest rebellion, he handed over command of the army to deputy general Meng Chao.

As for the follow-up deployment of the army, this will have to wait for Emperor Qingyong's will, and Su Ran did not decide on his own.

As for himself, he rushed to the capital day and night.

If not for anything else, just to be able to visit Qin Ye's mansion before the woman in black arrives in the capital.

In a hurry to get to Qin Ye's house, Su Ran traveled to the capital at starry night after leaving the Qing army camp.

In less than ten days, he returned to the capital city covered in dust.

The first thing after returning to Beijing must be to meet Emperor Qingyong.

After all, there are still so many soldiers waiting on the southwest front, so we need to ask for orders first.

In addition, it was also necessary to report to Emperor Qingyong how the army had completely put down the rebellion through the Battle of Xiding City.

Only after finishing business can you visit Qin Ye.

Su Ran asked herself whether she still had this little awareness.

Since he had the post of walking in the south study room, it became much more convenient to enter the palace to see Emperor Qingyong.

Not only did I no longer have to climb over walls and tiles, but no one was bothered when I swaggered into the palace. The journey was smooth without any obstruction.

Li Quanzhong, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was standing at the door of the south study room, saw Su Ran. He was slightly startled at first, and then his face was immediately filled with smiles.

"General Su is back so soon. It must be that the rebellion in the southwest has been put down?"

When Su Ran heard this, he smiled and said: "The emperor is wise, mighty and talented. The so-called rebels are just a bunch of chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning."

When Li Quanzhong heard this, the smile on his face immediately became brighter: "General Su is right, the Holy One is naturally wise and powerful, but if General Su hadn't been so brave, wise and courageous, I don't think this rebellion would have been that good." Easy to pacify.”

Seeing this, Su Ran didn't want to discuss this issue any more, so she had to laugh, and then asked Li Quanzhong, "Is the emperor in there?"

"The Emperor went to the Ministry of Industry half an hour ago. I guess... he should be back soon." Li Quanzhong frowned slightly, looked at Su Ran and said, "In less than half a year, it will be the Emperor's seventieth birthday. This morning, Prince Yi Zhong and Prime Minister Feng proposed to build a Wanshou Building to celebrate the birthday of the Supreme Emperor, and it was for this purpose that the Emperor went to the Ministry of Industry."

After hearing these words, Su Ran nodded slightly: "Since I'm coming back soon, I'll wait here for a while."

Seeing this, Li Quanzhong came up to Su Ran and lowered his voice: "Actually, His Majesty is not very active in building the Wanshou Building. It's just because of some things that he had to reluctantly agree. I heard that he wanted to build this building." The Wanshou Tower is estimated to cost seven to eight million taels of silver."

When Su Ran heard this number, she couldn't help but gasped.

The treasury is already empty, so if Emperor Qingyong spends so much money to build a building at this time, are Prince Yi Zhong and Feng Bingyuan out of their minds?

If something goes wrong again at this time, are we going to let the soldiers drink the northwest wind and go to the battlefield?
Thinking of this, Su Ran said to Li Quanzhong: "No, I have to go to the emperor. This building must not be repaired."

"General Su, please don't do it. Aren't you going to get yourself burned by doing this?" When Li Quanzhong heard that Su Ran was going to find Emperor Qingyong, he immediately became anxious. "Not only did he offend Prince Zhong, he also offended the Supreme Emperor. Yeah."

When Su Ran heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

That old guy Feng Bingyuan would be offended if he offended him, but it was really unwise to offend the Supreme Emperor and Prince Yi Zhong at this time.

However, this Wanshou Building, which is a waste of money and people, cannot be repaired.Otherwise, when the Wanshou Tower is completed, the Daqing Dynasty will probably be so poor that they will not even be able to pay their border officers.

If you encounter a natural or man-made disaster and need money, you can only stare blankly.

By then, there will be more beggars on the streets.

After a moment of silence, Su Ran turned to look at Li Quanzhong and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I won't mess around. I believe the emperor is also thinking of countermeasures. I just went to the Ministry of Industry to see the emperor. At worst, I won't mention this now." The thing is just to report the joy that the rebellion in the southwest has been put down."

When Li Quanzhong heard what Su Ran said, his heart that had been hanging finally dropped, and the worry on his face was wiped away.

"I just said that General Su is both wise and brave, and he will definitely not do such stupid things. If you say that, I will feel relieved. Come on, I will take you to see the emperor."

"Then there's Manager Lao Li." Su Ran nodded when he heard this, "I haven't really had much dealings with the Ministry of Works. I've only heard of a maintenance man named Qin Ye."

"General Su, have you ever heard of Qin Ye?" Li Quanzhong frowned immediately when he heard the name Qin Ye, as if he was a little surprised that Su Ran knew about Qin Ye.

Seeing this, Su Ran chuckled and said, "Actually, I've only heard of it, I haven't even seen what the person looks like."

"Let me just say, General Su has been guarding the border for Daqing in Northern Xinjiang before. How could he have anything to do with him? But it would be normal if he just heard about it. Speaking of which, I also have some impressions of this Qin Ye. He should have been there by now. She is almost 60 years old and has a son and a daughter, but this daughter is an adopted daughter."

At this point, Li Quanzhong's words suddenly stopped, and there was something secretive in his eyes.

When Su Ran heard the words "adopted daughter", her heart suddenly shook.

Isn't Qin Keqing the adopted daughter of Qin Ye?
But if that's the case, who is Kanemi?

Could it be... there is really a clone technique in this world?
Su Ran suddenly felt that his brain was not enough, and this matter was indeed a bit beyond his cognition.

However, although there were huge waves in his heart, he remained calm on the surface and did not show it. He followed Li Quanzhong silently.

After arriving at the Ministry of Industry, Su Ran discovered that it was actually not too far from the South Study Room.

At this moment, Emperor Qingyong was still staying at the Ministry of Industry to discuss the construction of the Wanshou Tower with officials.

Seeing Su Ran, the emperor of the Daqing Dynasty finally showed a smile on his originally gloomy face.

The next moment, he left all the people from the Ministry of Works behind and walked towards Su Ran.

"I feel relieved when I see you come back. Okay, okay, okay. I will go to the temple with you tomorrow morning. I will reward you heavily!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran bowed to Emperor Qingyong and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. You are all wise and powerful. Those chaotic officials and thieves are just a mob. Where Your Majesty's power comes, all the thieves will fall apart."

After hearing these words, Emperor Qingyong immediately laughed.

The next moment, he patted Su Ran on the shoulder and said: "You kid, you have learned this trick unexpectedly. From now on, don't say these things in front of me. Just continue to run errands for me and solve my worries." , those things, my ears are calloused."

After saying this, Emperor Qingyong's face was quickly shrouded in sadness again.

Su Ran knew that he was probably still worried about the construction of Wanshou Building.
