Chapter 40 The Battle of the Imperial Treasury
(On the first day of the new year, I wish everyone all the best, Gong Xi Fa Cai, bring the red envelopes! Haha~~)

Until Lu Yun took the maid to leave, Gu Yan did not tell Lu Yun about the previous life.

One was that she didn't know how to speak about it, and the other was that the information revealed in Lu Yun's words made Gu Yan secretly puzzled.

The idea that Changyi Princess instilled in Lu Yun was to make her the daughter-in-law of Emperor Chongde. There was no choice for Lu Yun. The only difference was which prince to marry.

Lu Yun said that recently, her grandfather and mother had a big disagreement on this matter. Lu Qing was firmly opposed to marrying his granddaughter into the royal family, so he quarreled with Princess Changyi without any regard for face.

"Mother contradicted grandfather, saying that I would marry into the royal family no matter what!" Lu Yun said with a faint smile.

It's not that she doesn't know everything. The more she flaunts her identity, the more things she can't control herself.Where there is gain, there is bound to be loss.

Gu Yan was speechless and could only hold Lu Yun's hand tightly.

What is Princess Changyi thinking?She thought that marrying sister Yun into the royal family was the best guarantee?But she herself came from the royal family, how could she have such a naive idea?
Moreover, Princess Changyi's remorse and revenge later showed that she was actually not that loyal to Emperor Chongde.Emperor Chongde, the third prince, the princess of Changyi, father and son, nephew and nephew, seem to have a lot of weird things?

Gu Yan knew it was more than that.In her opinion, it is not very difficult to prevent Lu Yun from contacting the third prince at the flower viewing banquet.

But this matter can be prevented once, but it cannot be prevented twice. To really help Lu Yun, it is necessary to stop Changyi Princess from marrying her daughter into the royal family. This is especially difficult!
She couldn't rush to Princess Changyi and tell her that sister Yun would die in less than half a year after marrying the third prince.Let alone whether the princess believes it or not, it's hard to say whether he can survive.

This matter still needs to be figured out slowly, after dealing with the hurdle of appreciating the flowers first, Gu Yan finally thought this way.

Just because Gu Yan can't understand something doesn't mean someone can't understand it.Regarding Changyi Princess, the father and son of the Shen family knew better than anyone else.

"I didn't expect that the princess of Changyi actually took care of the private treasury for the emperor. No wonder the emperor agreed when the princess married Ju'an." Shen Su stroked his white beard and said with a half-smile.

Shen Du nodded, the meaning in his eyes was similar to that of Shen Su, and he replied: "Everyone thinks that Princess Changyi is favored because of Prince Rong, but I didn't expect this one. It seems that the third prince knows this too. It’s one o’clock, there are a lot of actions recently because I want the power of the private treasury.”

The private treasury of Emperor Chongde is the imperial treasury of Dading. It is also called the three treasuries of Dading together with the state treasury of the Jingzhao household department and the Jiangnan Bank. It occupies eleven of the total money and food in Dading. : "Emperor treasury silver and Mifei can't be used in the war. Most of them are kept for post-laying. Those who win will look forward to the future."

For the royal children, those who get the imperial treasury get the second reserve, which shows the importance of the Dading imperial treasury.

Shen Du, like the Jingzhao officials, thought that the imperial treasury was in charge of the trustworthy ministers of Emperor Chongde. If Chen Wei and a few Huben soldiers hadn't discovered the clues, he would have never thought of it!

The money and food for Dading [-]th are held in the hands of a woman, the emperor's actions are really not what the courtiers expected!
"The emperor really loves the third prince. Among all the princes, he is the only one." Shen Su still had the same tone, his eyes narrowed, and he couldn't tell whether he was smiling or not.

It took so much effort for the Shen family to find out about Changyi County Lord's private treasury. If the emperor hadn't taken the initiative to tell the third prince, the third prince would have found out?
On this point, Shen Du and Shen Su have similar thoughts. It seems that even if the emperor is in his prime, he is still thinking about the successor.

Originally, Shen Du didn't have much idea about who would be the future emperor.But the third prince... is not only the son of Concubine Shu in the palace, but also has a close relationship with Duke Cheng's mansion, which made Shen Du think a little bit.

"If the private treasury belongs to the third prince, the situation in the future will be settled, so it's meaningless..." Shen Su didn't finish his sentence, but Shen Du was too late.

Although the emperor has not registered a crown prince yet, the Jingzhao officials are spared, and the most promising one is the third prince.It seems that the emperor also had such a plan in his heart, and he also planned for the third prince early on.

Both the second prince and the fifth prince are eyeing the throne covetously. Even if their power is weak, if they unite, even if they have no power to compete, they will still be harmful.

Emperor Chongde loved the third prince selfishly. By not establishing him as the prince, he avoided possible shocks and injuries in this position. Isn't this a kind of protection?
That's why Shen Su said, "The emperor is the only one for the third prince."

It's just that such things as emperor's father and father's father, emperor's father first, emperor's grace, are always uncertain. Every day that position is not determined, it makes people feel uneasy.

Feeling uneasy, I had to do something.This kind of thinking, everyone will have it, let alone the high princes?

Shen Du sees this very clearly, he just waits to see some people pretend to be dead.

Shen Du spoke his arrangement slowly so that Shen Su could hear it more clearly. His clear voice of the collision of gold and stone made Shen Su nod frequently.

"It's so good, this big show needs more people to perform it, otherwise it will be too boring..." Shen Su said.

At this moment, his beard and hair are all white, and his body is slightly hunched. He is no doubt like an ordinary old man. Only the light shining from his eyes makes people startled.

The several princes of Emperor Chongde all left the palace when they reached the age of 15. The second, third and fifth princes all opened their mansions successively, and their mansions were all not far from the imperial city.Among them, Zhuque East Road, not far from Taiping Front Street, is where the Third Prince's Mansion is located.

The Third Prince's Mansion does not occupy a large area, and its luxury is not comparable to that of the honorable family. However, since the Third Prince opened the mansion here five years ago, Jingzhao officials have paid more and more attention to this place. Maybe it is the place of Qianlong.

At this moment in the third prince's mansion, the third prince Zhu Xuanming was sitting at the head, looking at the officials kneeling on the ground with a stern expression, without saying a word.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, I don't know why the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince are so kind to the Lu family...Please punish me..."

This official was Feng Zuhui, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was secretly favored by the third prince.Recently, he was ordered to closely investigate the home of chief official Lu Qing, and found the above findings.

When questioned by the third prince, he was speechless. He searched many ways, but he didn't know why the second prince and fifth prince were so close to the Lu family suddenly.

With such an obvious fact, but without knowing the reason, Feng Zuhui felt apprehensive for a moment, fearing that his master would punish him.

"Master Feng must be preoccupied with family affairs recently, so it is understandable that he has no way of noticing the affairs of the Lu family...Your Highness, please forgive Master Feng this time."

Qin Ji sat on the lower left of the third prince and begged for mercy.

Hearing this, Feng Zuhui glanced at Qin Ji gratefully, and then became a little bit agitated.

Concerned about family affairs... Recently, he has really spoiled his concubine so much that he doesn't think about other things.

After hearing Qin Ji's words, the third prince narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes, and his face turned pale.
