A Thousand Hills

Chapter 185

It's not that the fifth prince can't think about it. The fifth prince is concerned about the country and the people, and his heart is toward the sun.

His father didn't show the secret book that the fifth prince gave to his father. Others only saw the eldest prince and the queen mother fall into the pit one after another, so they couldn't feel the contradictions and difficulties of the fifth prince in the secret book.However, his father could feel it.Since the fifth son's secret book is not ordinary, in the secret book, the fifth son also recalled a lot of interesting things about his brothers when they were young, and the importance he attaches to the brotherhood between father and son is beyond words!

If it weren't for the fifth prince's nostalgia for his father and son's brotherhood during the secret compromise, his father would not be able to treat Donggong so lightly.

Although, Donggong's reaction was the same as that of the eldest prince, and he absolutely cannot thank the fifth prince.

The East Palace was even more puzzled by this backstabbing than the First Prince. The First Prince had some rifts with the Fifth Prince before, and it was normal for the Fifth Prince to take the opportunity to trick the First Prince.However, Donggong and the Fifth Prince have never had any quarrels!The prince often speaks kind words for the fifth prince in front of the emperor!If the fifth prince cheated him because of the nonsensical letter sent by the fifth prince, the prince would never understand!
Is your fifth child clean in the Ministry of Rites?
... Well, this, the fifth prince is indeed quite clean in the Ministry of Rites, otherwise the fifth prince's criminal investigation would have been found out and stepped down long ago!

The crown prince has not been deprived of his post in the household department, but his subordinates have changed from the minister of the household department to the two servants. What is the difference between this and his post in the household department!
When the crown prince thinks of the fifth prince, his teeth itch!
It has to be said that at this moment, the First Prince and the Crown Prince who are in the same situation unexpectedly have a tacit understanding towards the Fifth Prince!
The prince really couldn't figure out why the fifth prince was like this?

Instead, Ning Jijiu told the prince a story. Ning Jijiu said, "Fang Ao, the eldest son of the former British prince, liked to train rare birds and beasts when he was young. It is rumored that there is nothing he can't tame. Once, someone offered him a white forehead. Tiger, it took Fang Ao three years to tame this tiger, and he was very proud of it. He set up a tiger banquet in the imperial capital and invited celebrities from all walks of life in the imperial capital to participate. To be tame is to show it in front of everyone. He let the tiger out of the iron cage, but the tiger bit off half of its head the next moment. Dozens of people were injured at the banquet, and there were six dead including Fang Ao. "

The prince was silent.

Since the emperor is good at brain supplementation, in fact, the emperor's son, the prince, is also very good at this.

If it wasn't for the prince being angry, the story of Ning Jijiu would not be appropriate. The prince is not a tiger tamer, and the fifth prince is not a tiger. The two of them are clearly brothers.But who knew that the crown prince would immediately imagine the life experience of Xie Moru, the wife of the fifth prince?
When the prince was born, the British government had disappeared. He didn't know much about the British government, but he also knew that the family was killed by his father because they wanted to rebel.As for this Fang Zhu, this is the first time the crown prince has heard that this method of death... is simply death!
The Fang family has long been in the past, and there is nothing to think about, the prince is just thinking, even if the fifth prince is a good one, with a wife of blood like Xie Moru, I am afraid that he will not be able to get better!Look, everything looks normal when you are in the imperial capital, but when you go to Fujian, you feel like you have lost your wind and gone crazy!
The prince still didn't understand, and said, "I treat my fifth brother with sincerity and relatives alone, I really don't know why my fifth brother is like this?"

Although in Ning Jijiu's view, the fifth prince is naturally rebellious and unruly, but since the crown prince said so, obviously the story of Ning Jijiu failed to convince the prince, and Ning Jijiu said, "The eldest prince has always been at odds with His Highness, but What's your disrespect in treating the eldest prince?"

The prince sneered, "Brother is the elder brother of our brothers, and it's normal to have some ambitions."

Ning Jijiu bowed, lowered his eyes and said, "Even though the Fifth Prince has no ambitions, Your Highness, don't forget, who is Princess Xie?"

Xie Wangfei, who is she!

These words hit the crown prince's mind!

The prince was cold, and in his clenched left fist, his nails pierced deeply into his palm.

The eldest prince and the prince were killed one after another. Emperor Mu Yuan investigated the six departments, and all the officials were cautious.Fortunately, among the six ministries, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry are all Qingming. As for the Ministry of Rites, the six princes have been in charge of the six ministries for a short period of time.

The third and fourth princes are all younger than the eldest prince and the crown prince, not to mention the fifth prince, who is also a younger brother. When he thinks that younger brothers are cautious, but these two elder brothers are so unbelievable, Emperor Mu Yuan became angry again.

Emperor Mu Yuan was not in a good mood, so he went to Concubine Su for a walk or two. The main reason was that Emperor Mu Yuan felt that the Fifth Prince was a caring and single-minded son. The eldest son and the second son were the ones that Emperor Yuan placed the most high hopes on. Unexpectedly, it was these two sons who disappointed him the most.The five princes said in the secret document that everything in Fujian is complicated and complicated, and my son's talents are limited, so he only records what he sees and hears and presents it to his father.The father's strategy is a hundred times better than the son's, and there are too many children who can't decide. He begs his father for advice and hopes earnestly.

It means that there are too many things here in Fujian, and my son can't do much, so I have to ask your old man to give me an idea.

Speaking of which, the fifth prince is worthy of being from the Ministry of Rites, and he is quite good at flattering his parents.

When Emperor Mu Yuan arrived at Shuren Palace, Concubine Su was watching the palace people pack their things. Emperor Mu Yuan came in, Concubine Su got up and saluted, and the palace people also put down what they were doing to salute. Emperor Mu Yuan helped Concubine Su and they sat on the couch After sitting up, he waved his hand and ordered the palace servants to get up, seeing that Concubine Su was busy here, she said, "What are you busy with?" Su Li was always quiet.

Concubine Su waved her hand and ordered the palace people to go down, and said with a smile, "A few days ago, His Majesty ordered someone to send the letter from the fifth son to me. I was thinking, pack up some things, when will His Majesty order someone to go to Fujian?" , and take them along with them.”

Emperor Mu Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Everything is up to me, just keep your things, I can't lose him."

"Your Majesty is a father, and your concubines are your mothers. No matter how many things you have, your concubines still have the will of a concubine." Concubine Su smiled and took the tea from the palace servants, and said, "Taste your majesty, this is Tea from Fujian. Although there were tea tributes from Fujian in the past, it is reasonable to say that they are all good, and I don’t often eat the tea there, but now I taste it, and I think it’s not bad.”

Emperor Mu Yuan ate tea and chatted with Concubine Su.Concubine Su has nothing else to do in the palace, except to talk about sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren. Emperor Mu Yuan just broke his heart for the eldest and second son, but now he feels that the fifth prince is caring, so he naturally likes to hear this.The letter sent back by the Fifth Prince to Concubine Su will naturally go through the hands of Emperor Mu Yuan. Emperor Mu Yuan has not opened it to read it, so it is interesting to hear Concubine Su say it. I heard that Da Lang and others also wrote a letter. Emperor Yuan said, "Take it out and let me see, have they learned to write?"

Concubine Su ordered the palace staff to take it out. It was a thick knife, but in fact it was because the characters were too big, so I didn't write many words. It was a waste of paper.At first glance, it was the handwriting of Xuexue. Emperor Mu Yuan unfolded it and read it. The letter arrived only a few days ago. It was folded a lot, and it felt a bit old-fashioned. I guess it was caused by Concubine Su flipping through it from time to time.Emperor Mu Yuan patted Concubine Su's hand and read the letter written by his grandson.Dalang writes about the troubles of being an older brother throughout the whole article, Erlang knows how to eat, and Saburo is always picky about food, which makes Dalang a bit melancholy as an older brother.In addition, he went on tour with his parents. Dalang wrote that there are some very poor people who live in very dilapidated houses. The houses are very small and narrow. The food they eat is not as good as his usual food It turns out that there are still such poor people in the world.Dalang decided to save all his monthly money in the future and donate it to these poor people.

What a caring grandson.Emperor Mu Yuan evaluated in his heart.

As for Erlang's letter, he wrote all about the delicious food he ate in a certain place. He had never eaten it before and it was fresh. He wrote it to his grandmother.

Emperor Mu Yuan said, "Boy Erlang..." At such a young age, he is so greedy.

Concubine Su laughed, "Brothers, Erlang is the best, he never sneezes throughout the year."

Emperor Mu Yuan thought of Erlang's age, and said, "This is also true, children's homes, as long as they can eat."

Then I read San Lang's letter, a complete book on cracking down on counterfeiting, San Lang is vivid, well, San Lang doesn't have so many adjectives, but among the brothers, San Lang is also the most eloquent and the most talkative.Saburo said that they patrolled with his father, and officials from all over the country were doing official business. Why did they find many people to wear military clothes to pretend to be soldiers, and some old men dyed their white hair black to pretend to be young people.What is obviously a poor place, the local officials fill the rich households and lock up the poor and prevent them from going to the streets.Then there is the matter of how to be seen through by his father.Saburo also wrote that these people, who are bad and stupid, always tell lies, and summed it up again, telling lies is really a big stupid thing.Of course, Saburo also showed off in the letter how they were welcomed by the people.

Fortunately, the fifth prince had already told his father about these matters in the secret agreement.Concubine Su said, "I received the letter and said, the children are so young, and it's very cold, why do you take the children with you when you are on patrol or something? Although I know that the fifth daughter-in-law is safe, I am a grandmother. I couldn’t let it go. Later, when I read the letter, I realized that it would be good to bring the children to see the world.”

Emperor Mu Yuan nodded and said, "Dalang's writing is better."

"They're still young, Dalang is always prudent, and you have to be able to sit still to practice calligraphy." Concubine Su said without mentioning the disappointing things, "At first, they would come and go, I don't worry about anything else, but I'm afraid of eating and drinking. I didn’t get used to it, but looking at Erlang’s letter now, there are quite a few fresh foods in Fujian.”

"Fujian is near the sea, and seafood is plentiful." Emperor Mu Yuan thought of entrusting his caring fifth son to such a barren and savage land, and said to Concubine Su, "Now in Fujian, only the fifth son, who is dedicated to doing things, can take care of it." Don't worry, with me, he can't suffer."

Concubine Su smiled, "The concubine knows."

Emperor Mu Yuan rewarded Concubine Su once, but Empress Dowager Hu, who heard that it was because of the fifth prince that the prince was blamed by the emperor's son, made things difficult for Concubine Su twice.Concubine Zhao Gui listened to her daughter-in-law's persuasion, and did not embarrass Concubine Su, but how could she not hate her in her heart, so she just looked on coldly.On the contrary, Concubine Xie told Emperor Mu Yuan euphemistically in private that Emperor Mu Yuan did not know how to communicate with Empress Dowager Hu. In short, Empress Dowager Hu fell ill the next day.

If you are sick, you should be sick. Emperor Mu Yuan was in a fit of anger and asked Imperial Physician Dou to go to the Palace of Mercy to serve him. Nothing else happened. It is completely two extremes compared to the past when there was trouble in the Palace of Mercy and Emperor Mu Yuan would go to serve the sick.

Empress Dowager Hu saw that the emperor's son didn't like this, so she cried to her daughter, "I just want to say a few words, your brother is like this, you must have rejected me."

Princess Wenkang said, "Say, you are good, do you understand the affairs of the court, just go and speak. Anyway, I don't care about things I don't understand."

"This, isn't this for the prince?"

"The crown prince is not the real son of the emperor's brother. The emperor's brother is also your own son. You don't favor your own son but other people's sons, and you don't blame the emperor's brother."

Empress Dowager Hu laughed angrily at her daughter, "You girl, you're talking all kinds of tricks. I'm worried that their father and son will really be separated. You don't know, your emperor brother lost his temper and asked the prince to reflect."

Princess Wenkang said solemnly, "Brother Huang decides the affairs of the court. The crown prince is the son of Brother Huang. Doesn't Brother Huang look forward to his well-being? Brother Huang disciplines him for his own good. Brother Huang disciplines his son. What you want to persuade is to persuade Brother Huang to take care of yourself, and then order someone to go and see the crown prince."

"I, I didn't say anything."

Regarding her mother's nonsense, Princess Wenkang had long experienced, and asked, "Then what's wrong with you?"

Empress Dowager Hu had no choice but to say "good".

Princess Wenkang had to speak kindly to her brother for her mother, "I don't understand the affairs of the imperial court, so please turn a blind eye to the queen mother. The queen mother is always confused, and her ears are soft. A good heart is a good heart."

Mother, what can I do.

I had to make do with it.

Concubine Xie, on the other hand, took good care of Concubine Su. Of course, she did not forget to tell her son to be serious about his errands.Concubine Xie Guifei said, "Sooner or later, you are going to be a vassal. I don't worry about the Ministry of Criminal Justice having your grandfather in these years. It's just that we need to be more cautious about the matter between the Crown Prince and the First Prince."

The third prince deeply agreed.

Concubine Xie said again, "Your royal father is not happy these days, you should go and talk with him more, so as to ease your father's heart."

The three princes agreed.

Concubine Xie chatted a lot with her son, she has the same status as Concubine Zhao, but Concubine Zhao has the eldest son of the emperor, Concubine Xie gave her a little bit.If the court had always been peaceful, Concubine Xie would have no idea, but when the opportunity came, she would not let her son miss it.

The fifth prince is really capable, even in a barbaric place, he can stir up the situation in the court. The fifth prince sued the eldest prince and the prince for private affairs.What's more, the fifth prince is not in the imperial capital after all.

Far, will eventually be far.

Concubine Xie Guifei will never let go of such a good opportunity.

On the contrary, the Marquis of Nan'an's big birthday has not been held recently due to the unrest in the court, so the Marquis of Nan'an did not hold a big event, and only held a few family banquets.The fourth concubine and the fourth prince also went. This is a daughter-in-law and son-in-law, so it is natural to go.

A few days ago, the Heavenly Military Department made such a commotion that the eldest prince was relieved of his mission, but the Marquis of Nan'an was unscathed.Emperor Mu Yuan thoroughly investigated the six ministries, and the Feishui Yamen, which manages projects like the Ministry of Industry, did not find any major problems. Naturally, the fourth prince was safe and sound, and he received a comment from Emperor Mu Yuan of "serving with sincerity".Now, the young Weng and his son-in-law got it right and said something very much.

The fourth prince was still thinking about whether he should take over as soon as possible, and discussed it with his father-in-law.Nan'an Hou said, "Your Highness can mention this matter with His Majesty, but it may not be possible."

The fourth prince wants to avoid the turmoil in the imperial capital, but if the fourth prince is willing to join the feudal clan, there are naturally some who are not willing to do so.

The fourth prince thought about it and sighed softly.

The fourth prince asked his father-in-law again, "The situation in Fujian is deteriorating, and I am very worried about fifth brother."

Nan'an Hou said, "Fujian..."

Sighing this half, Marquis of Nan'an didn't say anything, you said that if you messed up the fourth prince, you can't get up or down, that is, your father-in-law, so the fourth prince endured it silently.Also, father-in-law, about my fifth brother, you are old, of course you are not old, but what is the matter with you showing such a disappointed look!
