"Your Majesty, the Emperor specifically mentioned taxes, coastal wars and border protection. The Emperor is implicitly reminding the Prince that the court cannot fight within itself. Internal fighting will cause turmoil in the court, which will be extremely detrimental to the war ahead. At the same time, the Emperor is He is also telling the prince tactfully that this is why he did not move to Jiangnan. Prince, I dare not know if the princess has any tips for the prince. "Mr. Chen made a clear analysis.
King Zheng¡¯s eyes also lit up. She didn't show it on her face, "Wen Wan just told me to work diligently, do things with a high profile, and be a low-key person. In everything, the stability and interests of the court come first."
Staff Chen nodded and praised, "Your Majesty, we almost went into a misunderstanding. Maybe the emperor has been reluctant to establish a prince. Maybe it's not just for you and King Zhao to fight each other to achieve the emperor's balance and ensure that the emperor's status is not threatened. Maybe. It¡¯s also because neither you nor King Zhao have satisfied his request for the crown prince. It seems that we can no longer have superficial disputes with King Zhao.¡±
King Zheng himself is also a man of outstanding ability, but he has been misunderstanding before. At this meeting, Staff Chen's explanation made him suddenly wake up and fell into deep thought.
Regarding the Jiangnan matter, Prince Hao just went through the motions and dealt with a few officials. He did not touch officials in important positions in Jiangnan. Zhong Qianzhi still served as his governor of Jiangnan.
On this day, Zhong Qianzhi was discussing political affairs with several officials. The servant said something in his ear, and Zhong Qianzhi nodded, indicating that he understood. After finishing the political affairs, he immediately returned to the mansion.
Returning to the mansion, he asked eagerly, "Where is the person?"
Azhong said, "Go back to the master, it's a very important matter, so I invited him to the outer study."
Zhong Qianzhi immediately asked people to go to the inner study. Looking at the person coming, he is short and concise. A middle-aged man in his thirties "The subordinates pay homage to the master."
Zhong Qianzhi's heart was in turmoil, but he still kept his face calm: "Where are the things the princess asked you to bring?"
The middle-aged man took out a gold lock piece from his arms. Zhong Qianzhi took the gold lock piece with tears in his eyes. This was when Princess Zhao was full moon, and he personally asked a craftsman to make a longevity lock. My daughter is no longer here. When I see the relics, I can't stop feeling sad.
Ah Zhong said softly, "Old Master."
Zhong Qianzhi waved the two of them down. Open the longevity lock and a ball of paper falls out. Zhong Qianzhi spread it out with trembling hands. After reading it. The blood all over his body rushed from the soles of his feet to his head. He murmured: "How is that possible?"
The letter sent by Princess Zhao contained only a few digits: "Wen Wan is Jiang Shouwang. Zhao Hongbin has no chance of becoming the emperor. I hope my father will make plans as soon as possible."
Zhong Qianzhi sat feebly on the Eight Immortals chair: After a long while. Then he tremblingly took out the fire stick and burned the things.
Seeing the letter turn into ashes in his hands, Zhong Qianzhi couldn't help but shed tears. His daughter was really killed by King Zhao. Otherwise, the daughter would not call him by his first name. Zhao Hongbin, you¡¯ve gone too far to deceive others. After all, they have been husband and wife for nearly twenty years, and they don't even care about the relationship between husband and wife. Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unrighteous. Mei Guang. I also want your whole family to pay for the lives of my daughter and granddaughter.
When the elder saw his father again, he found that his father seemed to have aged ten years suddenly: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Zhong Qianzhi asked him to calm down. Explain what he must do. Zhong Qianzhi secretly began to prepare the Zhong family's retreat.
In the capital city, there has been no peace for two days. A sudden change caused another disturbance. The weight of this dish. It was so heavy that many people in the court could not afford to eat or live.
Marshal Qi, the commander-in-chief of the border pass, said that the military supplies shipped to the border pass were of inferior quality. Take the winter clothes among them, many of them are made of black cotton. There are also many inferior products in other supplies. Many soldiers suffered frostbite due to this. Of course, Marshal Qi did not say it was Prince Zheng, but only explained this fact in the excerpt.
This issue. There was an immediate uproar.
When Wen Wan got the news, she just smiled. When Xia Ying got the news, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Seeing that Wen Wan didn't seem to hear anything, she was a little anxious, but she had learned her lesson from last time. He said carefully, "Princess, please let me leave the palace. Let me find out what happened to the prince."
Wen Wan looked at Xia Ying, still not as calm as Xia Yao! I don¡¯t know if I have a brain or not. If she ran out of the palace in a hurry, people who didn't know would think that she was also worried that Uncle Zheng had tampered with the military supplies. Wouldn't that further prove that the rumors are true.
Wen Wan looked at her flustered and overwhelmed look, and was extremely speechless. Hey, how did my uncle train him? She didn't have the ability to correct it, so she was given a serious warning to stay still and not to do anything wrong.
Wen Wan called Xia Yao and asked what was going on.?Things happened. Xia Yao said that what Marshal Qi said in the book was indeed true. But what exactly happened, and whether King Zheng enriched himself from it, remains to be verified.
Wen Wan shrugged easily. Xia Yao smiled and said, "This is how the princess confirmed that the prince has nothing to do with this matter."
Wen Wan went to the Yanghe Hall to accompany the emperor. The emperor smiled when he saw Wen Wan's calm demeanor. This girl, although she doesn't show any bias on her face, she keeps making little moves behind her back.
It's just that this girl's methods are too childish after all, and everything she does is always full of loopholes. Just like when she was the champion that year, she always helped Lao Ba escape the siege in Yanghe Hall. Last time, she deliberately pretended to be drunk to let Lao Ba escape. own scolding. Counting like this, I don¡¯t know how many times. It doesn't matter if it's done well, but it still leaves so much tail that you can see it at a glance. To let him know about her little moves, she still had to pretend not to know.
The emperor naturally knew that the gentleness was intentional. But this intention made the emperor dumbfounded.
The emperor thought that for such a big event, Wen Wan would do something to help King Zheng, but for several days, Wen Wan did not say a word for King Zheng. I originally wanted to see how long it would take for Wen Wan to calm down. But this girl seemed to have never heard of such a thing. Do whatever you have to do, don't be in a hurry.
Wen Wan brought the vegetable porridge and placed it on the royal table. He turned around and walked to the incense burner to stir it up. The scent is much lighter. Even though Wen Wan is depressed, dragon birthday incense is lit all year round in the Yanghe Hall. She spent half the time in Yanghe Hall, which made her body smell like a faint fragrance.
Xia Yao knew her worries and still laughed at her, saying that the smell was not good. This kind of fragrance is a symbol of noble status. Wen Wan said with certainty, "It's not good to have a scent. If she is assassinated or something, the enemy has brought hounds. You can find it if you look for the scent. Then her death will be unjust."
Xia Yao is stunned, is there still an assassin with a hunting dog in the world who kills the princess? How stupid and courageous this assassin must be.
Wen Wan vowed, maybe it¡¯s not necessarily a hound, but an assassin with a nose like a hound?
Xia Yao was completely defeated and looked up to the sky speechlessly.
The emperor took out the silver flower appreciating bowl, opened the lid, and saw that today he was making pumpkin oatmeal porridge. Stir it twice with a silver spoon, eat two dishes of side dishes, and finish eating.
Putting down the flower bowl, the emperor smiled and asked, "Everyone in the government and the public is saying that your eighth uncle embezzled and embezzled military supplies. He needs to be severely punished. Wen Wan, what do you think?"
Wen Wan showed an expression of disdain for explanation. Wen Wan may believe that King Zheng is cold-blooded and ruthless. I believe that King Zheng is greedy for ink, while Wen Wan would rather believe that it is raining red from the sky. Wen Wan believes that although Uncle Zheng has a cold temper, he will definitely be a good monarch. He can bring good lives to the people in the ten fiefdoms, and he can also make the country rich and powerful. If he is truly a prince, the country belongs to him, so he can just covet it. Digging a hole to bury yourself is ridiculous.
The emperor smiled and said, "You are so confident in your uncle King Zheng." Marshal Qi's words were not mixed with water. A lot of military supplies are defective. But fortunately, those people still have a conscience, they are just defective products, not using worse things to make up for it. Otherwise, it would not be frostbite, but freezing to death.
Wen Wan wrote, "Grandpa Emperor, Wen Wan dares to use her little head to guarantee that my uncle will never do such a dirty thing."
The emperor laughed when he saw what Wen Wan had written. Although Wen Wan has three major hobbies, the one she cherishes the most is her little head. She cherishes her life to the point where the emperor is speechless.
The emperor touched Wen Wan's little head and said, "Just believe him. I'm not afraid of losing your little head."
Wen Wan shook her head and indirectly opened the emperor's hand. He continued to write, "Grandpa Emperor, you have never been to Uncle Zheng's mansion. I have been to so many palaces. Uncle Zheng's mansion is as big as Prince Hao's mansion; as rich as Prince Chun's mansion; and as exquisite as it is. It's not as exquisite as Prince Zhao's house, but it's just a little better than Wen Wan's bird's nest. Moreover, as far as Wen Wan knows, Uncle Zheng is very frugal, and his biggest expense is on household matters. Wen Wan spent nearly 20,000 taels of jewelry on jewelry! Wen Wan still remembers it.¡±
The emperor was stunned for a moment. He really didn¡¯t know about this. ¡°That¡¯s all, so we can¡¯t just conclude it! But think clearly, this is your little head. If you cut it off, there will be no more.¡±
Wen Wan touched her little head and continued to write, "My uncle is so frugal and doesn't have any special hobbies. He is also a typical workaholic. What do you think he needs so much money for? Keep it for his eldest cousin and the others?" They are capable, and they are not idiots. They all have their own merits. They can live a good life without relying on my uncle. Why do you think Uncle Zheng embezzled so much money? Such a clumsy way of pouring dirty water on my uncle, I don¡¯t care. "The person who did this actually had a very obvious intention, which was to tarnish my uncle's reputation. And if this thing continues to spread like this, my uncle's reputation in the military will be zero. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, If you don't get the support of the military, you can only dream of becoming emperor!
The emperor touched Wen Wan's head and smiled, this girl is such a ghost. Wen Wan did not take bribes because Lao Ba was impeached for corruption. But he told him some important information in a subtle way: first, King Zheng was conscientious and diligent in his work; second, King Zheng was very frugal and had no other hobbies except work; third, King Zheng had a successor.
There is no better explanation than this. If what Wen Wan said is true, there is no need to investigate. Prince Zheng will be wronged. (To be continued)
