Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

He said that Qin Lu was childish, but when replying to the letter, Gu Yanshu still wrote several pages of letters according to Qin Lu's request.

First, he explained his brief reply last time, and comforted his fawned deer.

A few days ago, Qin Lu's letter came at an untimely time. When Gu Yanshu received the letter, he happened to be too busy to touch the ground.

Before replying slowly or replying a shorter letter first, Gu Yanshu chose the latter.

Looking at it now, it was fortunate that Gu Yanshu didn't choose to reply a few days later because he was busy.

Otherwise, what Gu Yanshu received now might not be Qin Lu's brief reprimand for his reply, but his own deer who was angry and went back to the capital to question him face to face.

Of course, there are indeed some exaggerated elements in it, but it also shows that Qin Lu cares about this matter.

Afterwards, Gu Yanshu, like Qin Lu, wrote some of his daily life in Beijing these days in his reply.

It inevitably mentioned the grievances and resentments between Liu Ruxi and the Princess's Mansion.

But this is someone else's business after all, Gu Yanshu only chose to mention it briefly, and only said at the end that Liu Ruxi promised him to be the shopkeeper of Nancheng Yaoyue Pavilion, and that if he wanted to come to the branch of Nancheng Yaoyue Pavilion, it would open soon.

Finally, Gu Yanshu also reported to Qin Lu about his work these days.

The most important of these is the cement road.

Prince Li's Mansion contracted the paving of cement roads in Kyoto and the suburbs of Beijing. On the second day of the bidding meeting, Gu Yanshu put this project on the agenda.

Because of Gu Yanshu's attention, the convenience given by the imperial court during the construction process, and the weather in Kyoto these days is good.

Now the progress of cement road laying in Kyoto and nearby is very gratifying.

In less than a month, more than half of the cement road has been laid. I believe that in less than a month, the cement road in Kyoto will be laid and put into use.

Moreover, Gu Yanshu also learned that those businessmen who have obtained the qualification to build cement roads, in order to recover their investment as soon as possible, the progress of laying cement roads is also not slow.

If it continues at this speed, when Qin Lu finishes building the dam in Yizhou and returns to Beijing, he might be able to experience the newly paved concrete road.

In addition, Gu Yanshu did not forget to write down several major events that happened in the court recently, so that his little deer would not be caught blind.

The most important thing is that the first prince's lineage was punished by the emperor because of the second prince and the officials of the household department and Ding Yibai's money printing.

Speaking of this matter, Gu Yanshu always had a feeling of unreality in his heart.

This incident happened so fast, before Gu Yanshu could even react, it was over.

When all the dust settled and the market resumed, Gu Yanshu noticed a few strange things:

The first doubt is that Ding Yibai, as a well-known playboy in Beijing, how could he get mixed up with people from the household department?Also cooperate with them to print money?

You must know that human nature is a very strange thing. If you don't have a good relationship, you will never do bad things together, and it is such a big thing that once exposed, you will be killed.

How could those officials from the household department feel at ease to do this with someone like Ding Yibai who seemed unreliable at first glance?

And the second doubtful point is that the speed with which the Ministry of Criminal Justice investigated and judged the case and finalized the case at that time seemed a little abnormally fast.

It's not that Gu Yanshu looks down on the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, but the officials of the Ministry of Punishment in Tianqi do have the common faults of most dynasties' yamen.

That is to get money faster than anyone else, but to do things more slowly than anyone else.

Not to mention the Ministry of Criminal Justice in Kyoto, even more so.

After all, under the foot of the emperor in Kyoto, there are not many criminals. Since Qin Lu returned to Beijing two years ago, many young people have walked around the capital because of Qin Lu's reputation.

Under such a big environment, as far as Gu Yanshu knew, the Ministry of Criminal Justice hadn't handled a serious case for two years.

You must know that people will be lazy.

It is not an easy task for even a detective who has a good grasp of the details to immediately enter the working state after two years of rest, let alone a considerable number of related households in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

From Liu Ruxi's description, it is not difficult to see that Ding Yibai is extra cautious when it comes to printing money. If the concubine who was brought into the mansion by Ding Yibai hadn't revealed the clues, Liu Ruxi wouldn't have known it at all. know about it.

But this time, the Ministry of Criminal Justice seemed to have the help of a god. Not only did it find the evidence in a very short period of time, it even pulled out the carrot and brought out the mud, which involved the second prince.

And the third puzzle is related to the eldest prince's lineage.

You must know that such a chain of things, but anyone with some brains will make a few smoke bombs and find a few scapegoats to blind the eyes of the enemy.

Gu Yanshu can see from the previous experience of fighting the eldest prince that although the eldest prince is not particularly smart, he is not so stupid that it is absolutely impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.

Even in the initial layout, people from the eldest prince's lineage did not think about the possibility of the matter being exposed, but when the emperor ordered the criminal department to investigate the case, Ding Yibai's printing of money had already been made a fuss by Liu Ruxi The city is full of wind and rain.

There was a time difference of nearly two days. Even if the tail could not be swept clean, it could at least be docked to survive.

But judging from the current results, Gu Yanshu almost suspected that the eldest prince had done nothing at that time, and was just waiting for the Ministry of Punishment to investigate.

If Zhi Ge hadn't been asked to carefully investigate the authenticity of this matter, Gu Yanshu would even have suspected that this was an arrangement with ulterior motives by the eldest prince's lineage.

Gu Yanshu has not been able to figure out these questions until now.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he just wrote it down in the end and let Qin Lu figure it out by himself.

Other than that, it was the fact that the eldest prince's lineage was punished, which would affect the situation in the court.

Nearly half of the officials in the household department were implicated at this time, and nearly half of the posts, including the household department minister, were directly vacated.

However, as a vital department among the six ministries, it has to be responsible for such major events as the construction of cement roads recently, and the emperor quickly assigned people to fill these vacancies.

Only the position of Hubu Shangshu has not been confirmed yet.

The emperor only said that he hadn't made up his mind on the candidate for the Minister of the Household Department. It just so happened that the Minister of the Household Department was banned a few days ago. You can.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor probably wanted to directly promote Wen Qingyan to be Minister of the Household Department, but perhaps he was concerned that Wen Qingyan was younger and his qualifications in the Household Department were not clear, so he didn't make an explicit order.

Also because of the emperor's words, Wen Qingyan can be said to be more than ten thousand people in the household department. Although he does not have the name of Shangshu, he has the power of Shangshu.

Half of the members of the eldest prince in the household department have been replaced, and now Wen Qingxiao, who has the most say in the household department, is also a member of Prince Li's residence. It is not an exaggeration to say that the household department is in the pocket of Prince Li's residence. .

After writing this, the corners of Gu Yanshu's lips could not help but twitch upwards, and he couldn't help but teased his own little deer in the letter:

After grasping the money bag, I finally don't have to look at other people's faces to act in the future. It is said that men become bad when they have money, but I don't know if my Xiaolu is such a person?

As I write this, the account of what happened in Beijing in recent days is basically completed.

Gu Yanshu bowed his head and counted. He used seven sheets of letter paper, two pages more than the one sent by Qin Lu.

Now this little deer has nothing to say, right?

Thinking about it, Gu Yanshu was about to stop writing.

However, he just put down the pen and thought of the last sentence in Qin Lu's letter, which can be called a straightforward confession.

In the end, he picked up the Langhao that had been put aside, added another sentence at the end of the letter, and then put down the pen again.

After writing the reply, Gu Yanshu went to the post station himself.

Logically speaking, there is no need for Gu Yanshu to go in person to send a letter to the post station.

Gu Yanshu did the same thing when he replied to Qin Lu's first letter.

Unexpectedly, a few days after the letter was delivered to Yizhou, Qin Lu replied a letter to Gu Yanshu.

At that time, Qin Lu was not as straightforward as he is now, and would directly express his displeasure as if pointing out that Gu Yanshu's reply letter was too little.

In that letter, Qin Lu can be said to be extremely yin and yang.

First, I said that I followed Gu Yanshu's instructions along the way, eating well and resting well. After arriving in Yizhou, I didn't even take a break, so I sent Gu Yanshu a safety letter. I was afraid that Gu Yanshu would wait for a long time, so I still used eight hundred miles to expedite .

He also asked if it was too late to expedite the six hundred miles. When he received the reply, it had been a long time.

After a lot of messing around, the final central idea is only one:

I hope that when I reply softly, I can also send him [-] li urgently.

Gu Yanshu, who read that letter at that time, couldn't laugh or cry, it was the first time he saw his own deer look so awkward.

There is a good saying, what is it like to kill your own husband besides pampering him?

So when he wrote back to Xiao Lu for the second time, Gu Yanshu specifically explained that he asked Zhi Ge to send [-] li in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Zhi Ge told him that his greatest authority was to expedite the delivery of six hundred miles, and if he wanted to expedite the expedited delivery of eight hundred miles, Gu Yanshu would have to go in person.

Fortunately, the Kyoto post station is not far from the newspaper office, so when Gu Yanshu goes to the newspaper office, he can send the reply letter by the way.

The only bad thing is probably...

"I have seen Her Highness Princess Li, Your Highness Wan An."

As soon as Gu Yanshu approached the gate of the post station, the post officer sitting in the room stood up.

Before Gu Yanshu opened his mouth, the post officer had already guessed the purpose of Gu Yanshu's visit, and asked with a smile:

"Your Highness is going to send a letter back to His Highness King Li?"

Yep, that's the only bad thing about it.

Now as long as Gu Yanshu walks into the gate of the post station, the post officials will know his purpose.

That's all, but the outside of the post station is not considered lively, but it's not desolate either. Pedestrians will pass by from time to time, and what happens in the post station is naturally not a secret.

Gu Yanshu only came twice more, and the news spread directly.

Now the matter has changed from the moment Gu Yanshu stepped into the gate of the station, and the station officials knew the purpose of his trip, to the moment he walked into the station, the people in the capital knew that Princess Li had sent a letter to His Royal Highness Li Wang again!

Now everyone in the capital is saying that Gu Yanshu is very clingy, His Royal Highness Li Wang has only been away for two months, and His Highness Li Wang Concubine couldn't help the feeling of longing in his heart, this letter was sent one after another.

What's even more exaggerated is that after Gu Yanshu delivered the letter to Qin Lu a few days ago, he stopped by the newspaper office to take a look. Just as Wen Qingxiao was there, Gu Yanshu stayed for a while longer and chatted with Wen Qingxiao for a while.

In the end, without saying a few words, Wen Qingxiao teased Gu Yanshu about sending letters to Qin Lu at the post station from time to time.

What to say, "Now everyone in Beijing knows that the two Highnesses love each other deeply, and His Highness Concubine Li would not even send a reply letter in the hands of others."

Hearing that, Gu Yanshu's teeth were itching, and he wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

What can he say?

Could it be that he didn't want to pretend to be someone else's hand, but that the dog man in his family insisted on sending him eight hundred miles to expedite, and he would be wronged if he didn't?

Now others don't know that he used [-] miles to send the letter, so he has already described the matter so exaggeratedly. If he knows, then it's okay?

In the end, Gu Yanshu could only swallow the words that came to his lips, and gave Wen Qingxiao a gift without losing an awkward smile.

When did he, Gu Yanshu, suffer this kind of grievance?

Now listening to the post officer's smiling inquiry, Gu Yanshu inevitably thought of this matter again, the smile on his face froze slightly, and he secretly scolded Qin Lu in his heart, before he nodded slightly:

"Well, eight hundred miles is urgent."

As soon as Gu Yanshu's voice fell, the postman over there took up the conversation:

"Your Highness, don't worry, I know, hurry up in [-] miles!"

Although the post officer was concerned about Gu Yanshu's identity and didn't say much, Gu Yanshu could easily read the message "Her Royal Highness Princess Li is indeed very clingy, and send another [-] miles to hurry up!" from his eyes.

What else could Gu Yanshu do?

He could only act as if he didn't understand anything, and after signing the document handed over by the post officer, he quickly left the post station, not forgetting to make up his mind secretly:

It's because he spoiled his bad little deer, and he has to rush eight hundred miles to give him a beautiful one. Next time, he will send him an ordinary courier, and he will be mad at him to death!
