A Thousand Hills

Chapter 167

The fifth prince started the low-key construction of Nanshan. Xie Moru counted the congratulatory gifts for the sixth prince's wedding in the mansion. The wedding date of the sixth prince was set in October, the tenth day of October.

The six princes got married, and the brothers and sisters-in-law in the sub-fu couldn't be less polite.Xie Moru has always been cautious in this matter, there are exceptions for congratulatory gifts, but they should not be too standard.Human relationship is the most important homework for the princess, Xie Moru has always been cautious in this regard.

When the news of Minzhou's defeat came, what Xie Moru thought was that the luck of the new Qin Tianjian Supervisor was not very good.Instead, he made an inventory of the congratulatory gifts, Xie Moru called Aunt Du Juan, and asked if the luggage for Fujian was packed.

Aunt Du Juan was originally a maid who served Fang Shi. After Fang passed away, she followed Xie Moru. She was not needed for other trivial matters, and Xie Moru's entire property was watched by her.

Du Juan said, "It's all ready, but if His Highness is impatient, I'm afraid it should be simplified."

Xie Moru sneered, "Even if you lose, there's nothing to worry about." The fifth prince doesn't know how to fight, even in the past, he was nothing more than being a sea god, trying to turn the tide or something, unless the god of war has the ability to come to this world.With a sarcasm, Xie Moru said, "I'm afraid I will live in Minzhou for a few years this time. Your Highness and I will take the children and leave first, and leave the things behind for escort."

Rhododendron should go down.

The fifth prince was summoned directly from the Nanshan construction site to the palace. Emperor Mu Yuan looked very pale. The crown prince and adult princes were all present, and the cabinet was all in place. The fifth prince saluted and sat under the fourth prince. Emperor Mu Yuan was still stable , said, "Show the king of Min the memorial of Yongdinghou."

Min Wang.

The fifth prince was sealed in Fujian, so he was naturally the king of Fujian.It's just that everyone is used to calling him the fifth prince. When Emperor Mu Yuan said this title, everyone's hearts sank.

The fifth prince took the memorial from the servant. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The situation is still under control. Please rest assured. Victory or defeat is a common trend in military strategists. Marquis Yongding is a veteran military strategist. If you are not familiar with naval battles, and there are troops stationed in Fujian, it should be no problem to return to the shore to garrison."

Emperor Mu Yuan was furious, "If tens of thousands of marines are buried, how can I be relieved!"

The fifth prince got up and said, "My son is willing to leave the domain immediately and take over Fujian."

Because of his anger, Emperor Mu Yuan asked the fifth prince with a rare coldness on his face, "What are your plans?"

The fifth prince said, "My son has also asked my eldest brother, the Marquis of Nan'an, about the situation in Fujian. It is better to defend Fujian than to attack. When the situation in Fujian is stable, my son thinks about rebuilding the navy. However, I am afraid it will take a few years."

"No matter how many years, more than ten years, or even decades, you just let go and do it." When Emperor Mu Yuan said the word "Min Wang", he had the intention of letting the fifth prince become a vassal, let alone the fifth prince. The prince had reminded him earlier that King Jingjiang might not be easy to deal with, and Emperor Mu Yuan had too much confidence in Marquis Yongding to this day.Emperor Mu Yuan said, "Hand over your mission to your fourth brother, and you will be a vassal immediately. Marquis Yongding can no longer preside over the military affairs in Fujian..."

The fifth prince hurriedly said, "The Marquis of Yongding has been in Fujian for two years. Although he has suffered such a big defeat, he is more familiar with Fujian. My son please forgive him for the time being, and allow him to take the crime and make meritorious service."

Emperor Mu Yuan gave the fifth prince this face. Of course, it is not ruled out that the father and son agreed to ask the fifth prince to give Yongding Hou a favor. The fifth prince took over the military and political power in Fujian, and asked the fifth prince to choose a day to become a vassal.

It was late at night when the fifth prince returned to the mansion, Xie Moru was still waiting for him.Under the light, the black cloak worn by the Fifth Prince was a bit unfamiliar, Xie Moru saw the bright yellow tie around the neck of the cloak and knew that it should be the clothes of Emperor Mu Yuan.

After the fifth prince changed his clothes under the service of the maid, he had some supper before he said to Xie Moru, "I think, I will leave as soon as possible."

Xie Moru said, "I ordered someone to pack up the things earlier, let's take the children and leave first, and escort the things later."

The Fifth Prince hesitated, "Do you want to take the children with you?"

Xie Moru was sure, "The whole family must be together. The matter is over, Your Highness, don't be too impatient, I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask, if it is convenient, we will take mother and concubine together, this trip to Fujian will take several years. "

The fifth prince said, "It's not suitable at this moment, I'm afraid the father won't allow it."

Xie Moru smiled, "Your Highness and His Majesty are too nervous. There is no one who is always victorious and undefeated in the world. The defeat in Fujian was ultimately at the hands of King Jingjiang. It is not a bad thing to have this defeat, otherwise, The imperial court probably doesn't know the strength of Jingjiang. This time we are going to Fujian with His Highness, why don't we take some time to visit Jingjiang."

The fifth prince trembled slightly, and then suddenly became proud, saying, "It makes sense, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub."

Xie Moru smiled.

The fifth prince said that if he wanted to leave the domain, he would not be able to leave on the second day. On the second day, he had to go to the palace to discuss with his father about leaving the domain. He planned to leave on the third day. The fifth prince did not mention taking him with him. Niang also discussed the matter of the feudal clan, and only discussed the departure time with Emperor Mu Yuan.

Emperor Mu Yuan asked, "Have you packed everything?"

The fifth prince said, "The concubine ordered someone to pack up the things earlier. We will take the children and leave first. The same is true for delivering the things after they are placed in custody."

Although Xie Moru's identity is often picked on by others, such a person is also very useful at critical times.Emperor Mu Yuan warned, "Going to Fujian, there are a lot of clues, so you must be careful."

The fifth prince took the opportunity to ask his father for Xue Langzhong, and Emperor Mu Yuan naturally would not refuse to give it. After the father and son discussed the important affairs of the country, Emperor Mu Yuan said, "Go and see your mother and concubine, don't make her worry about it."

The Fifth Prince then went to Shuren Palace, Xie Moru was already talking with Concubine Su, Concubine Su was always reasonable, besides, there was nothing she could do if this matter was unreasonable, Concubine Su said, "Just rest assured, I will take care of everything here, You are all right in the feudal land, and I can rest assured here. It will be peaceful there, please take me over there to have a look, and it will open my eyes. Speaking of which, I have never seen a place outside the imperial capital."

The fifth prince smiled, "Don't worry, Concubine Mother, it's nothing serious now."

Xie Moru didn't take it seriously, and downplayed it, "It's nothing more than a defeat. The court has been in peace for a long time, and this defeat is obviously very serious. When the Emperor Taizu went to the world, why was he never defeated? The court was a little fussed. Success or failure is very important. Back then, Liu Bang’s wives and children who were chased by Xiang Yu all threw them under the wheel and escaped by themselves. In the end, it was still Liu Bang who took the lead in the world. Now it’s just a defeat in Fujian, so it’s nothing to worry about. It’s just that it’s not good for the time being. Please go with your mother and concubine. Next year, let His Highness ask for an order to come back to pick up the mother and concubine, and our family will live in the same prescription after all."

Concubine Su smiled, "Okay, I'll just wait."

The husband and wife accompanied Concubine Su to have lunch before leaving the palace. The fifth prince was worried about Concubine Mother, Xie Moru said, "We are in Fujian, and the palace will not treat Concubine Mother badly. Besides, even if we go to the Imperial Palace, It's not like I've cut off contact with the palace. There are plenty of people in the mansion, and it's the same with sending letters quickly."

The fifth prince said, "Next year, I will definitely take my mother and concubine to the feudal land."

"it is good."

Xie Moru's efficiency is not so high, today he entered the palace with the fifth prince, and at the same time, he notified the side concubines' natal family to come and talk to the side concubines, seeing that tomorrow is about to leave, he should meet with his natal family of.

Mrs. Xie Shangshu and Mrs. Xie came here in the evening, it's not that the two of them are free, and it's not that they don't want to come earlier, it's just that Xie Moru sent someone back and said, "Come back in the evening." She is not free during the day and has to go to the palace to visit Concubine Su.

Xie Moru said, "I have never seen King Jingjiang, grandfather, you must have seen it, no matter how much you know, please tell His Highness." The fifth prince and Xie Shangshu went to the study, Xie Mo spoke like Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie was nothing more than It was to suppress the anxiety in my heart and say some words of care, Xie Moru said, "Don't worry, grandma, the matter in Fujian is not serious, but it will take longer."

Mrs. Xie has never seen Xie Moru lose her temper. If another woman followed her husband to such a feudal land that had just suffered a defeat, she would probably have the mentality of sacrifice.Xie Moru is still calm and composed, every word she said, and every subtle look on the corners of her eyes and brows tell you that she is sure of this matter.

The fifth prince originally wanted to stay Xie Shangshu and Mrs. Xie for dinner, Xie Shangshu said, "These two days, Your Highness is also busy, and we are close relatives, so we will not be here for this meal. Your Highness and Your Majesty should take care of your health, and we will come back tomorrow."

At this point, there is no need to be polite.

Before Xie Shangshu and his wife left, Jiang Xingyun had already arrived.Sending off the grandparents, Xie Moru and Jiang Xingyun went to the study to talk, Xie Moru said immediately, "The business in Xining Prefecture has been recovered?"

Jiang Xingyun said, "It's been dealt with cleanly."

Xie Moru said, "I didn't expect King Jingjiang to move so fast."

Jiang Xingyun said, "It's too late for me to say. If it's just a few days before the ceremony of building the library, it will be a lot of trouble."

"It's not like those few days, but if it's at that time, I'm afraid that the officialdom in Fujian has been replaced by a new blood." Don't talk about Yongdinghou, the defeated general, I am afraid that the career of the governor will also end here.

"Marquis Yongding is so courageous?" Jiang Xingyun was born as a general, and it is not uncommon to conceal military reports, but once this incident leads to a major incident, it will be a serious crime of losing his official position and breaking his family.

"The Marquis of Yongding may have a secret booklet, or His Majesty has made it clear." Xie Moru said, "Go to Fujian with me and see if there is any business. There is nothing wrong with getting involved."

Jiang Xingyun thought for a while, "The big merchants in Fujian are the Xu family and the Wei family. The Xu family wooed the eldest prince and intervened in the business of the Fujian army. The Wei family has been declining in recent years, so the Xu family is the only one. Ever since the prince was entrusted with the title, the Xu family has shown goodwill to me a lot."

"Let the Xu family air out first."

Jiang Xingyun doesn't care about this. Employing people is the same as fishing. The royal family is too arrogant and too friendly. Xie Moru has always been careful. Besides, Xie Moru is not very interested in the Xu family. She asked, "Does Jingjiang's first-class merchants know?" ?”

"In the Qiu family of Jingjiang, the daughter of the Qiu family is the concubine of King Jingjiang, with one son and two daughters. Among the descendants of King Jingjiang, there are many who accept the daughter of the Qiu family as the concubine. The third son of the concubine Qiu married the daughter of the Qiu family as his main wife. The Qiu family is the largest merchant in Jingjiang, and the rest are far inferior compared to them."

Xie Moru nodded, it seems that the fifth prince missed one thing from Emperor Mu Yuan.
