The emperor's heart alone

Although Xu Yunjin said that, Shi Junji was still a little worried, and he insisted on inviting the imperial physician to take a look. Xu Yunjin had no choice but to call Duan Yuchen over. He left without a serious word.

"Look, I told you I don't need it, but you still don't believe me." Xu Yunjin asked someone to wake up the eldest prince for dinner, "Have you taken care of today's affairs?"

Shi Junji nodded: "In the future, you should avoid being crazy with them. If you want to sleep or something, let someone wait for you to change your clothes before going to sleep, so as not to be uncomfortable."

"I see." Xu Yunjin replied helplessly, "Don't worry about my affairs now, you should worry about the Jiang family's affairs. How is it? What's happening in the northwest recently?"

Shi Junji thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "At least there are nearly 20 troops in the hands of the Jiang family. I still underestimated them before."

Xu Yunjin's eyebrows were also stained with worry, "Then what about the capital?"

A flash of anger flashed in Shi Junji's eyes: "Most of the imperial forest army has fallen to the third prince." As he spoke, there was more bewilderment in his eyes, "The third prince is an idiot, I really don't understand why Even the Royal Forest Army will have so many people relying on him."

Xu Yunjin said casually: "Didn't you say that the Third Prince has a very powerful counselor beside him?"

"You mean Yin Yuli? I know a thing or two about that person. When he took part in the imperial examination, he was ranked No. [-] and No. [-]. Because he was dissatisfied with his grades, he publicly asked my father to re-examine the papers. After my father refused, then Yin Yuli I went out of Beijing angrily and rejected the appointment letter from the imperial court. My father has always been lenient, and he didn’t want to be named as persecuting scholars, so he could only let Yin Yuli do such things. Unexpectedly, that Now people have actually become the counselors of the Third Prince, giving advice to him."

Xu Yunjin chuckled lightly: "The achievements of Conglong are better than the title of champion. If you can successfully support the third prince, you can imagine that you will be surrounded by wealth and wealth. Few people will refuse such a beautiful thing. "

After hearing this, Shi Junji questioned: "The last time you were in the private room with the third prince, did he say something to you?" When Shi Junji arrived, he only heard the words of the third prince outside the door. The one who insulted Xu Yunjin didn't know about it before. Later, he was afraid that Xu Yunjin would get angry, so he didn't ask Xu Yunjin about that night.

Xu Yunjin had a half-smile and said, "It's nothing more than pulling me into the group, saying that you are just playing with me. If the government and the public know about it, I must be the one who wants to be sacrificed. Please advise me to find my own way out."

"You don't believe what he said?"

"If I really believed him, do you think I can talk to you face to face and have dinner calmly?" Xu Yunjin said bluntly, Shi Junji laughed twice, and was about to touch Xu Yunjin's hand when he heard footsteps Walking towards this side, sat upright busy and displeased, and looked towards the door, it was indeed the First Prince who came in.

Seeing Shi Junji sitting at the top staring at him with a gloomy expression, the eldest prince was unavoidably frightened, and hid behind Xu Yunjin in a few steps, Xu Yunjin pulled the eldest prince out from behind, placed him beside him and sat down : "Don't keep putting on that look. Is it better to let the children cry when they see you? I can warn you, if you treat Xu Shi like this in the future, I will definitely not allow it."

Shi Jun said hurriedly: "Then how can it be the same? It's too late for me to pet Xu Shi."

Xu Yunjin snorted coldly, stopped talking about Shi Junji, and started to eat, and from time to time, he would also pick a few dishes for the eldest prince.

After dinner, the eldest prince was taken back from the secret path. Xu Yunjin asked someone to carry Xu Shi to the courtyard of Xu Jiashi and Xu Tao, and he would carry him back when he was about to sleep. Xu Shi sent it to Xu Jia's Xu Tao to make contact with each other, while Xu Yunjin and Shi Junji took a walk in the yard for a while, and then went to take a bath and go to bed.

When he woke up the next morning, Shi Junji was no longer by his side. Xu Yunjin felt dizzy and could not help crying inwardly. It must have been that the headache from yesterday had continued into today. He suddenly remembered that Qingpei was sent to the southwest by himself to deliver a letter, and now it was not Qingpei who was guarding outside, after such a delay, the people outside had already noticed that Xu Yunjin had woken up, so they knocked on the door lightly: "Second Young Master wake up!" gone?"

Xu Yunjin said "Yes", and Tanxiang pushed the door open and came in, waiting for Xu Yunjin to wash and change clothes.

"That time when Jiang Zirun came to the Xu Mansion, you were the one who waited on him?"

"Yes."

"What did you say?"

Sandalwood was buttoning Xu Yunjin's chest, and replied softly: "Young Master Jiang wants to bribe me, but seeing that I really don't agree, he turned to ask Second Young Master about your recent situation, and I just said that I don't know."

Xu Yunjin closed his eyes, and asked after a while, "How's the investigation going?"

"It will take some time."

"Don't worry, be careful." Xu Yunjin instructed, "Don't overwhelm the snake."

The sandalwood agreed, and Xu Yunjin stepped back after serving him. After Xu Yunjin had breakfast, he went to Duan Yuchen's side and asked Duan Yuchen to give him acupuncture on his head before going to the House of Internal Affairs.Seeing Xu Yunjin appear in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Song Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Yunjin looked strange, and when he got into the room, he asked what happened. Song Qian smiled wryly: "The emperor came to announce the decree this morning, and asked my lord to immediately Go to Changping Palace, but at that time, my lord, you were not yet in the future, and the eunuch Xu who came to announce the decree only said that you would rush to Changping Palace as soon as you came, my lord. I'm going to the Xu Mansion to find you."

Xu Yunjin gave Song Qian a strange look: "Eunuch Xu? You mean Xu Sa?"

Song Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead: "No, that's right."

Xu Yunjin gave an "en", flipped through the accounts on the table twice, and frowned: "There are not many people in the harem now, so how come there is such a large expenditure?" Xu Yunjin pointed to one of the pages, " The daily ingredients of Yuxiu Palace are as high as 800 taels, the monthly silver for the concubines and palace servants reaches 500 taels, the summer clothing expenditure is 5000 taels, and the travel expenses are 3000 taels per month." Xu Yunjin snorted coldly, and threw the ledger on the ground , "Song Qian, how do you explain?"

Cold sweat started to break out on Song Qian's forehead again, and he didn't dare to pick up the ledger, and he couldn't understand what he said. Everyone knew this kind of thing, but...

Xu Yunjin didn't go to see him either, he didn't know which master lived in the Yuxiu Palace, but he dared to blatantly use the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make money, and he knew that he was a high-ranking person, and most people in the Palace of Internal Affairs I can't afford to offend, although Shi Junji issued an order similar to disbanding the harem, but in the eyes of most people, Shi Junji's behavior is more like he doesn't know what kind of stimulation he received, and he will return to normal one day after all. That being the case, those concubines who are still in the harem now, once they regain favor in the future, they will never let go of those who made trouble when they were down. It didn't come from their hands, they naturally borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, neither offended.

Xu Yunjin said lightly: "I don't know when the master of Yuxiu Palace will be able to use the 3000 taels of travel expenses. From today onwards, the travel expenses of Yuxiu Palace will be cancelled, and the concubines in that palace will be able to use it every day. Staying in Yuxiu Palace and not being allowed to go out, I don’t think so much money will be used, and it can be regarded as contributing to my Daping treasury.”

Song Qian couldn't care less about wiping the cold sweat off his forehead. What Xu Yunjin said was to imprison Concubine Shu in Yuxiu Palace, but how could Xu Yunjin, a foreigner, have such power?Hurry to stop Xu Yunjin: "Boss, absolutely not, the master of Yuxiu Palace is Concubine Shu. Since the queen and queen mother passed away one after another, Concubine Shu is the biggest concubine in the harem, and we have no right to control this matter, how about... ..."

"Eighty taels of food materials a year is enough. Dismiss Yuxiu Palace and leave only one maid and one eunuch to serve Concubine Shu, and take some of the clothes left over from the past years. Oh, yes, I want to come to Concubine Shu herself There is a lot of moon silver, so in order to save money, I lowered Concubine Shu’s concubine’s position and let her be a promise or something.” Xu Yunjin frowned again and thought for a while, “Since it’s a promise, live in the The main hall of Yuxiu Palace is not suitable, but moving it around is also very troublesome, so let Concubine Shu move to the side hall of Yuxiu Palace."

Song Qian was dumbfounded, thinking that what Xu Yunjin was talking about was fantasies. After all, Xu Yunjin was just the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How could he decide to be the birth mother of a prince?It is impossible for the current emperor to do such a thing for no reason.

After Xu Yunjin finished speaking, he raised his voice slightly: "Do you hear me clearly?"

Song Qian was about to persuade Xu Yunjin again, when he heard a voice from the door of the house: "Yes."

"Then let's go to Changping Palace."

The sandalwood outside agreed and went to Changping Palace. Xu Yunjin ignored Song Qian's expression, but said again: "I won't look at the ledgers in other concubines' palaces. I think you will understand what to do." Xu Yunjin With a chuckle, "I have always been a very reasonable person, and I will respect others as long as others respect me, but don't think about making small moves, or I will be unhappy. If you really think that the harem If it will be reactivated in the lifetime of the emperor, then you can let it go, but I am worried that you will be far away from the Ministry of Internal Affairs before that time, and the great credit will not reach your pockets."

Song Qian was still immersed in what happened just now and didn't realize it. Seeing Xu Yunjin finished speaking and waiting for his answer, he just nodded silly, but actually didn't even realize the meaning of Xu Yunjin's words. Xu Yunjin got Song Qian's answer , he no longer cared about Song Qian's attitude, and directly drove Song Qian out of his room.

Song Qian was fidgeting in his own room, thinking about what Xu Yunjin said for a while, thinking about Xu Yunjin sending his own people to Changping Palace to find the emperor, and thinking about the end of Concubine Shu, and what he will do in the future ?Until the news came from Yuxiu Palace, it was exactly the same as what Xu Yunjin said before. Song Qian was paralyzed on the chair in an instant, and when he regained his senses again, he decided what he would do in the future. made a bold guess.It was also after this time that Song Qian began to stand honestly on Xu Yunjin's side, without making any private moves.
