The little Marquis’ favorite: Madam, she is the richest in the world

East Palace

The secret guard reported the information collected one by one, but the man in the main seat couldn't hold it in any longer after hearing half of it.

"What, Wu Anhou and his wife, as well as Jiang Yanqing's family of three, have gone to Jiangnan?"

The prince was really panicked now, "Uncle, with this attitude of the Jiang family, it's not like they went to Jiangnan to recruit people, right?"

Duke Shen's eyebrows were furrowed, but his tone was still calm and he analyzed methodically: "The girl from the Meng family has not yet reached the age of hair. Even if the Marquis Wu'an and his wife have no objections to the marriage, they will not make an engagement so soon."

The prince's face softened a little, "Uncle, please think of a way quickly. We must not let Jiang Yanqing marry a girl from the Meng family, otherwise this golden mountain will really fall into Xiao Qiyu's hands."

When Duke Shen heard this, the veins on his forehead twitched involuntarily, "Then what do you think your Highness would like?"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Shen Yongyuan almost lost his composure when he actually heard what the prince said.

"From Zhao Gu's point of view, the Meng family must have ulterior motives for being like this. Presumably, the order of scholars, peasants, industry and merchants, and the status of merchants, they naturally tried their best to make changes, so they went to Wu'an with all their efforts. This is the way to go."

"But Gu is a prince, and his status is much higher than that of Marquis Wu'an. Gu plans to send someone to send a message to the Meng family. As long as they cut off all contact with Marquis Wu'an, Gu can accept the daughter of the Meng family as the concubine of the East Palace. When my father is a hundred years from now, Gu will give high-ranking officials and generous salaries to the children of the Meng family, so that they will no longer be looked down upon by others because of their low status as businessmen."

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into a long silence.

Shen Yongyuan has never felt so helpless for a moment.

The several ministers behind him also kept their eyes on their noses and their mouths on their hearts, and kept silent about the prince's proposal just now.

But if you don't talk about it, you can't help but keep asking the other party relentlessly.

The prince is such a person, "Uncle and everyone, what do you think of the idea of ​​being alone?"

Based on this group of people's understanding of the prince, it seemed from this tone that he was not discussing with them at all, but more like a notice.

Xu Wenqing stepped forward helplessly in the eyes of his colleagues, and bowed: "Your Highness, the East Palace is the residence of the Crown Prince, and the concubines in the East Palace are always from aristocratic families, and the last one is the daughter of an official family. He Dehe is the daughter of a merchant. able."

The prince's tone was a little dissatisfied, "Gudu said, these are just expedient measures to make Meng do it for Gu."

"Uncle, Gu orders you to find a suitable reason to convey Gu's words to Meng."

Shen Yongyuan tried to make his tone more tactful, "Your Highness, as far as I know, the Meng family's daughter and the Hussar General are really in love with each other. It is not what Your Highness said."

The prince didn't take it seriously, "So what?"

"How long have they been together? How can they have such a deep friendship?"

"Besides, this so-called affection is not just an illusion put on by the two of them to get what they want."

Shen Yongyuan couldn't stand listening anymore, "Then why does His Highness think that all his guesses are true?"

The prince chuckled, "Uncle, how could I look down on Gu Bucheng like this?"

"The hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit; the bustle of the world is all for profit. This is not what you, uncle, have taught you since you were young. What the world wants is nothing more than power and wealth. I can give it to them, so why should they worry about being alone? Used."

……

Has this always been the only thing I taught the prince?

Haven't I ever said that there are true friendships in the world that depend on each other in life and death and will never leave? There are also promising people whose hearts cannot be moved by wealth and whose ambitions cannot be changed by titles and honors.

Shen Yongyuan suddenly felt tired. He had never been so tired before.

The feeling of powerlessness arising from the soles of his feet completely swept over his whole body.

Such a prince, no matter how many civil servants and generals he had behind him, how could he possibly defeat Prince Ning?

Furthermore, can such a monarch bring stability and well-being to the people?

Is it possible for a person who has no benevolence and does not believe that there is sincerity in the world to be a good emperor?

After that, Shen Yongyuan allowed the prince to have all kinds of bizarre ideas pop up one after another, but Shen Yongyuan kept silent. The prince was wise, but if he was asked to do it, he would be incompetent. He was currently ill, and he was really powerless.

The leader, Mr. Shen Guogong, refused to accept the job, and the others were even more incompetent.

The prince was extremely disappointed and cursed his subordinates as trash.

But the ministers are unwilling to do it, and there are still dead soldiers and secret guards.

The more the prince thought about it, the more he realized that his idea was brilliant, and he refused to give up easily.

He summoned his three trusted secret guards, and after some instructions, the three of them set off immediately.

Although the secret guards were confused about this sudden order, they did not need to know the reason. The only thing they had to do was to obey the order, so naturally they did not dare to delay at all and immediately packed up. Set out immediately.

-

On the tenth day on the boat, the already small father-son relationship between Jiang Weicheng and Jiang Heng became more and more "precarious."

The father and son didn't have much patience with each other. The reason they had some warmth in the first few days was entirely because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, their blood relationship and their longing for each other;

But after spending nearly ten days together on the boat day and night, the feeling of missing each other eased, the novelty was gone, and the father and son became less and less friendly towards each other.

Su Shi would try to persuade him to make peace at first, but later he would ignore it and just watch the excitement from the side.

In the end, he simply couldn't afford to offend him and could not afford to hide, so he simply refused to be in the same room with the father and son.

And as the ship got closer and closer to Jiangnan, Jiang Heng had no intention of competing with his father anymore.

Now that it's almost summer at the end of April, they haven't seen each other for nearly four months since she went back.

You don’t feel it when you’re busy, but the deeper the night is or when there’s no one around, the thoughts growing in your heart spread more and more, making people unable to avoid or hide.

We will arrive in Jiangnan in three or four days.

I don’t know what that little heartless guy is doing right now, who he’s with, or whether he’s missing him in my heart...

Fortunately, my thoughts are silent,

Otherwise, it would be deafening every day on this official ship.

……

Just the moment we landed at the pier,

The group of people sighed one after another as they stretched their arms, which showed that they were really exhausted on the boat.

Look at the sun, it's almost midnight.

"Dad, are we going to the inn next?"

Jiang Weicheng waved his hand, "Which inn are we going to? Let's go to our own house."

Jiang Heng suddenly remembered,

Although their marquis family is not as wealthy as the Meng family, they still have their own houses and property shops in many places all over the world.

Ok,

The young prince, who was used to being "poor", was really a bit unresponsive at first.

It's all his fault that his father was poor for raising a son, but now he's really afraid of being "poor".
