A Thousand Hills

Chapter 179

It is not easy for the prince and concubine to be on the job. For example, the fifth prince is busy with the affairs of officials outside, Xie Moru will not be idle in the mansion, and the family members of local officials also have to communicate with each other from time to time.What's more, Xie Moru will also accompany the Fifth Prince when he visits the feudal domain.The hostess is not dispensable in any family.

The fifth prince never had a free day when he arrived in Fujian. As the saying goes, the top moves his mouth, and the bottom runs broken legs. The fifth prince is so busy, let alone the officials below.

Mrs. Tang heard her husband say that he would accompany the fifth prince to the military camp on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and said, "The prince really cares about the people and is a benevolent person." No more.

Governor Tang said, "My lord loves the people like a son, it's our blessing. You and I will accompany the princess when the time comes."

"The princess is also going to the army?"

"Correct."

Mrs. Tang found it incredible, but they are courtiers, it's not good to talk about the royal family in this way.Since she was told to go, she went, but, what kind of clothes did she wear, Mrs. Tang asked her husband, "I'm ordered to wear homely clothes, or a dress?"

Governor Tang was also stumped for a while, the imperial court did not have female family members to go to the military camp, and there were really no regulations on clothing regulations.No, it's not. Governor Tang is old and has witnessed history. Back then, Princess Fusheng visited the barracks...

It's really not a good association, Governor Tang said, "To be safe, I'd better send someone to the palace to ask." After all, you must be cautious when going to the military camp or something.

The Tang family asked people to ask, Princess Xie soon ordered someone to send clothes to Mrs. Tang, not imperial clothes, nor home clothes, nor a dress, the style that Princess Xie said, high-end tailoring by needlework and embroidering mother.

Although Mrs. Tang is not young, but fortunately she is in good shape. Nowadays, long skirts and wide sleeves are popular among women, which are rich and romantic. Xie Moru often wears this kind of clothes at banquets, but it is definitely not cheap if she goes out to the army.Xie Moru changed it, the long skirt is still a long skirt, it doesn't matter if it has wide sleeves, but it is changed to narrow sleeves, Mrs. Tang is a first-class imperial order, and the purple satin embroidered with di bird is quite delicate.Mrs. Tang smiled, "Wangfei's clothes are really well made."

The daughter-in-law, grandson-in-law and others all praised, one is flattering the elders, and the other is that the clothes given by Princess Xie are really beautiful, the materials and embroidery are very particular, and the size is just the same, and it can be worn on Madam Tang's body.

Mrs. Tang couldn't help but be more cautious in wearing this dress. This dress was not just randomly taken out of the palace, it must have been made in advance, and it must have been made according to her stature.

Seeing little knowledge, Mrs. Tang told her husband about this matter, Governor Tang said, "The prince and concubine are people who know what they know." The prince became a vassal the first time he met the prince, and the fifth prince has done a few practical things in the imperial capital. This newcomer to the fief naturally wants to do something.But seeing how smoothly the fifth prince did this set of things to win people's hearts, you know that he has his own ideas and ideas. Now even a piece of clothing is in the forefront. Governor Tang thought, if the fifth prince hadn't been excited for the first time Head, that must be a man of foresight.

Whether the fifth prince is far-sighted or bloody, Governor Tang still has no conclusion.The imperial decree of the imperial capital arrived a few years ago, and Emperor Mu Yuan agreed with the fifth prince to take the post of conscription general, and at the same time asked Fujian officials to cooperate with the re-conscription.At the same time, 50 taels of silver were sent as a fee for the first phase of conscription.

The fifth prince was very touched, and said, "The household department will be tight next year, and the father can still move out the money. If this matter can't be done, he will have no face to go back to the emperor and see the father."

Therefore, everyone said, Your Majesty is wise, and His Highness is virtuous and filial.

The fifth prince touched his father once, and his father gave him money, so he didn't have to touch his wife's private house.His imperial father is really a good father who is considerate and considerate to his son.

In fact, the fifth prince didn't have to be so moved. Originally, Emperor Mu Yuan didn't want to be so considerate to him. It wasn't that Emperor Mu Yuan didn't care about the fifth son. Wait until summer to have silver.In fact, this is indeed the case, but the fifth prince expresses his love to his emperor's father with a letter on the left and a letter on the right. He has seen and heard all the way since he set off from the imperial capital, and he moved into the governor's mansion in Fujian. In terms of the situation of the land, what the fifth prince saw and heard, he wrote to his father, saying that he is a good son who possesses all four qualities of loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and righteousness.

The fifth prince has one advantage. He is not a person who slaps his face to make himself fat. What can he say? When he mentioned that Fujian is not well-off, he even said that he saved all the precious wood in his vassal mansion, and the glazed roof was not built yet. , It saved tens of thousands of silver, and thinking about being able to do some practical things for the people, it really moved Emperor Mu Yuan's face.Thinking about where the fifth son has suffered such hardship, the emperor used to watch for himself, which is not the best. Of course, Emperor Mu Yuan himself is not a luxury person, but he can't ask his son to save money from the vassal palace.Moreover, the old Mu's family has always attached great importance to their son, even though the five emperors were not considered the most valued son by Emperor Mu Yuan, but in recent years, father and son get along very well, and when the relationship is gradually warming up, the fifth son went to Fujian to clean up the mess up.Seeing the hard work of the fifth son in today's self-confidence, Emperor Mu Yuan felt very distressed.But just like this, Emperor Mu Yuan didn't plan to transfer money to the fifth son at the end of the year. The end of the year was too busy, and the household department was in short supply of money, so Emperor Mu thought that it was time for Fujian to be repaired, and there would be money in the next summer. Give the money to the fifth son first.

The point is, how considerate the fifth son is in the letter. I have said it all. I know that the money is tight at this time in the court, and I know that the father must love his son. So, first send the budget. The daughter-in-law discussed it, and his daughter-in-law was virtuous and took out all the money from her private house.He first used the couple's private house money to cover it.

What a considerate letter from the fifth son.

Emperor Mu Yuan frowned when he saw the use of his private house to pay for the conscription fee for the time being. If the fifth son used his private treasury or something, Emperor Mu Yuan would think nothing of it, but would say that the fifth son is selfless, benevolent and righteous King, good son.However, if the daughter-in-law is required to use her private house to support it, not to mention the emperor of the Mu Yuan Emperor, even the father-in-law of the common people will be shamed when he hears this!
What's more, Emperor Mu Yuan is the king of a country!
Although Emperor Mu Yuan selfishly believed that most of Xie Moru's dowry private house was inherited from Princess Fusheng, of course, Xie Moru deserved it.However, Emperor Mu Yuan still didn't want his son to be so tight that he wanted to move his wife's private house.Although Yi Xie Moru's temperament is not so stingy, but since Emperor Mu Yuan is his own father, he has to consider his son's face.

For the sake of the fifth son's face, Emperor Mu Yuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out the military expenses to send to the fifth son.Of course, Emperor Mu Yuan agreed that his son would replace Yongdinghou as the general.

For the former, the First Prince agrees, anyway, the Crown Prince is in charge of the household department and has no money, hehe, let the Crown Prince be embarrassed.

For the latter, the crown prince agrees. It should have been a whiteboard for Yongdinghou. Last time, the fifth younger brother insisted on interceding with Yongdinghou.Alas, I underestimated the fifth younger brother. It turned out that the fifth younger brother kept Yongding Hou because it was convenient for him to seize power in the past.

and so:
Regarding the latter, the eldest prince frowned, what is the fifth child going to do, you are a majestic feudal lord, why are you trying to steal my father-in-law's errand?Back then, you had no purpose in protecting my father-in-law, did you?
Regarding the former, the crown prince is in trouble, and the Ministry of Finance does not have much money. Fifth brother, what are you doing in such a hurry to conscript? You have just arrived in Fujian, have you stood your ground?It's a bit scrambling for quick success!
Therefore, the two expressed their appreciation and dissatisfaction with the fifth prince in front of their emperor father in batches.

Emperor Mu Yuan had been emperor for so many years, and he didn't know anything. He could see through the selfishness of the two sons at a glance. , Xining Pass is also a bit uneasy, but thanks to the capable Governor of Shaanxi-Gansu Li, Xie Bo and General Xining took precautions, and they did not cause major incidents and repelled the Western Man.In Nan'an Prefecture, there were also excerpts about Nanyue disturbing the border. Emperor Mu Yuan even moved his mind to let the Marquis of Nan'an return to Nan'an Prefecture. Fortunately, Mrs. An was brave, and Su Buyu made a contribution in it, and was promoted by Emperor Mu Yuan to be the prefect of Nan'an.The king of Nanyue deliberately reprimanded the emissary and said that it was all a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding, hum!
The emperors are not short of brains, and Emperor Mu Yuan is the leader among them. There are several days of unrest, and Emperor Mu Yuan directly suspects that there is any connection between them.It's not just Emperor Mu Yuan, Su Xiang thinks about it and is thankful that there are many capable ministers in the court, otherwise the chaos in Xining and Nan'an will cause chaos in the country.

The monarch and his ministers were very fortunate, and they agreed to increase military expenditure next year, and sent imperial decrees to Xining Pass and Nan'an Pass, and even the garrison in Beichang was instructed to strictly guard against surprise attacks.

In this case, a prince, the crown prince of the country, the most important son in his heart.An eldest prince, the brother of all the princes, and a very respected son.See what kind of selfishness these are. Did the matter of the fifth prince’s conscription be mentioned too early? Was it selfish to take away the post of General Marquis of Yongding? Regardless of justice, in terms of personal relationship, the fifth prince is your younger brother. He wants to conscript, is it for himself?Prince, the future is yours. Is your brother worrying about himself?From now on, it will be your country!And the boss, is the father-in-law closer or your younger brother closer?Is your brother completely selfish?How many people were folded by your father-in-law before, and he conscripted again, not to mention the common people, can other officials be convinced?
Emperor Mu Yuan was relieved, and considering the face of the royal family and the dignity of his fifth son as a husband, he really didn't want his fifth son to use Xie Moru's private house, so Emperor Mu Yuan transferred the money to his fifth son.
