The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 254
The sixteen virtuous king, Chu Qianping, was appreciated by the emperor, and was named the Prince of the Seven Pearls, second only to Chu Qianshui and Chu Qianhan, and tied with the fourth prince Chu Qiankang and the eighth prince Chu Qiansi.

The Hubu Xingshang Study Room vaguely followed Chu Qianping’s lead, and the Hubu Shangshu Wang Qiushan refused to take half a step in the Shang Shang Study Room in order to avoid suspicion. He asked the officials to pass on the news for anything, and he met with Chu Qianping in the public hall. In the study, drink tea and chat for a while, feeling calm.

Chu Qianping has been walking windily these past few days, and his complacency has reached the point of arrogance.

Different from Chu Qianping's high-spiritedness, the clan implicated in the fraud case has a neglected family, and the servants dare not go through the corner door when they go out to buy, and have to go out through the temporary door in the hidden place. I dare not take it out and use it.

"Father praised me again today." Chu Qianping showed off in front of An Lu again.Shangguan Qing gave him a lot of support. In addition to financial support, he also dispatched a professional team to help check the accounts. Basically, as long as the person Chu Qianping is eyeing, with a word, the criminal investigation team of the Taitai Division can Chu Qianping's confidence was further inflated after the other party's details were found out.

The officials in the study were all busy doing things, Liu Jinjiang looked down at the file, but Dewey was not in the study at all, An Lu couldn't bear to see it any longer, so she pulled Chu Qianping to a corner and said, "His Sixteenth Highness, can you keep a low profile?" .”

"Why?" Chu Qianping didn't understand, he was the prince, and now he was the prince of Qizhu, he was born superior, why should he keep a low profile.

"Are you so happy to have taken the credit of the Fourth Highness?"

"I didn't snatch it, it's because the fourth brother is sick." Chu Qianping said stubbornly.His voice was a little loud, and the officials in the study all lowered their heads to pretend they couldn't hear him.

An Lu looked behind her and lowered her voice, "Why don't you understand, you got some praise from His Majesty, but do you know how many people you offended?"

She summed up Shangguan Qing's words, looked at Chu Qianping with a shocked expression and asked, "Did you understand what I said?"

"I don't understand." Chu Qianping really didn't understand why he was accused of doing the right thing.If Shangguan Qing thought it was wrong, why did she support him with all her strength? This is a fundamentally contradictory decision.

"Sister-in-law San couldn't have said that." Chu Qianping stubbornly believed that the world was just.

"That's because the princess is afraid that you won't be able to handle it and will be harmed by someone with a heart. Do you know how much trouble the princess has caused for you? Many properties of the Luantai Division and the Craftsmanship Division have been given up, even the cement that originally belonged to the princess The factories are all assigned to the Imperial City Division. Even so, the princess still finds a way to provide you with [-] gold in cash. Is it cash, not salt rolls? You have to feed your family, you can't drink the wind to survive."

"Money is mentioned for everything. Is money so important? Those clans also think about money all day long, so they commit such rebellious and outrageous deeds." Chu Qianping retorted angrily.In the past few days, he has been promoted to the sky, and he regards himself as a righteous person, and he looks down on money that smells like copper the most. In other words, once again fornication, once again false fame.

"Since Your Highness doesn't understand, just pretend I didn't say it." An Lu turned to leave in a dead heart.

"Wait, tell me what you said just now, I was wrong." Chu Qianping held An Lu back and refused to let her go, An Lu shook off Chu Qianping and said flatly: "I have nothing to say to Your Highness, Your Highness It's okay to implicate me, don't implicate my concubine, slaves can't afford it."

"What's wrong with me? What did I do wrong?" Chu Qianping didn't understand.

An Lu felt that her good intentions had been completely let down.

They were all angry and wronged.

An Lu returned home and hid in the house crying for a long time. After hearing about it, Shangguan Qing didn't know how to persuade her to ask Banxiang to take over An Lu's job in the Hongshang study and keep An Lu by her side to manage the follow-up work of resettlement of migrant workers.

After connecting the ironworks, the wharf and the triangular area of ​​the capital, Shangguanqing directed the migrant workers to start laying roads in the north and south directions.The destination to the south is Wujiangkou, an important town in the south of Beijing. From here, the goods are boarded and enter the sea along the big river, and detour to Qiongya in the south of Lingnan. This will be one of the fastest trade routes between Qiongya and the capital.The destination to the north is Tongde Road, which is used to guard against possible rebellion in the northwest.

Not long ago, the emperor took away the funds on the books of Luantai Division and began to reduce the financial power in Shangguan Qing's hands. The road construction to the north was stopped, and the construction of the road to the south was paid by Qiongya Junzhou in name, but in fact it was Shangguan Qing paid for it in advance, and all the construction took a while, and now it has completely stopped.

The migrant workers who build the road need to be relocated, and Shangguanqing will use the remaining money to complete the work, and at the same time pave the way for the South Road project to start again.

Regardless of whether the emperor agrees or not, the South Road must be built. The future of her and Chu Qianhan lies in Qiongya. If Qiongya is to be built better, the big market in the capital cannot be discarded.

Shangguan Qing arranged for An Lu, and started the so-called Qingxiu again. She had to embroider, read, draw, and write technical notes every day, and lived a very fulfilling life.

It was also during this time that the first batch of [-] single-shot guns left the factory, and after passing the test firing, they were delivered to the inner court and allocated for use by Emperor Chu Huaitian.It is said that Chu Huaitian was very satisfied and asked for an increase in production, but instead of allocating money to the Craftsmanship Division, he assigned the firearms workshop to the Imperial City Division and handed it over to the Clan Mansion to supervise Chu Huaizhong.

The most profitable industries under Shangguan Qing's management were all taken away, and they were respectively classified into the Ministry of Households, the Imperial City Department, and the Clan Mansion.Even road construction, which does not make money, was allocated to the Ministry of Industry. Fortunately, Shangguan Qing had already arranged for the migrant workers, otherwise there would be trouble if the migrant workers were dismissed on the spot.

There are rumors in the capital that Shangguan Qing has lost his holy family, and the Shangguan family will be expelled from the court.

Because of Shangguan Qing's domineering, the clans that couldn't take advantage of the Luantai Division and the Craftsmanship Division applauded. Among them, the fourth prince Chu Qiankang was the leader. Chu Qiankang finally didn't have to worry about repaying the debt. People, he can easily smooth out this arrears.

There are also people who feel sad for the Shangguan family.

Under the leadership of Shangguan Qing, the imperial court has obtained many lucrative industries, and their contributions to the imperial court far exceed those of the previous prime ministers. Those mediocre talents who can only absorb the people's fat and anointment to relieve the pressure on the imperial court's financial resources, even a hundred of them can't compare with Shangguan Sunny is a little girl.Moreover, after Shangguan Wenhe became the prime minister, he vigorously promoted a group of young recruits, many of whom were talented commoners, who felt that it was wrong for the imperial court to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

However, there are still a small number of people who sympathize with the Shangguan family, and more people began to make trouble.
