Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Dong Gong, a man in his thirties, a bit fat and of medium stature, was running around in a hurry.

"Prince! Prince! There's news!"

A small yellow door rushed in, and the thirty-something man was startled, and before he kowtowed, he dragged him up.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Xiao Huangmen hurriedly said, "If you go back to the prince, the [-]-mile rush is from Shanxi..."

"and many more!"

The prince immediately interrupted him, asked Xiao Dezi to lead everyone back, ordered no one to come near, and went to the doors and windows to check carefully, and after confirming that no one had closed the doors and windows, he said softly to the little yellow door,

"You said."

Seeing that he was so careful, Xiao Huangmen unconsciously lowered his voice and said,

"There was a severe drought in Shanxi, and there was a lot of erosion. The [-]-mile rush was sent by Chen Guangyao, the procurator and inspector. It is said that he was put under house arrest by Liu Hui and others. The news was sent out while taking advantage of the civil unrest. The grain collection sent out at the end of the spring is likely to be embezzled, so the emperor is furious!"

The prince unconsciously began to move around again. He knew about the Shanxi matter a long time ago, and he didn't take it seriously before. He also intervened in the food relief at the end of spring. To give birth to the people, the most urgent task is to smooth out his affairs.

"The emperor intends to let Zhang Shoufu, Mr. Zhang, take charge of this matter,"

There was a hint of joy on the prince's face. Mr. Zhang Shoufu is the prince's tutor, and he is tied to him. If Mr. Zhang is, he will always make up for himself.

"But Mr. Zhang refused because he was old and weak, and the emperor let him rest at home."

The prince frowned, what exactly is Mr. Zhang doing?

"Later, the matter was handed over to Mr. Liu Lin."

Liu Lin?This person has always been unpredictable, although he is a bachelor, he does not have the integrity of a scholar to respect orthodoxy, and flirts with his second child instead.

"Later, the emperor said that the matter was important, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be in charge." Xiao Huangmen was used to serving others, so Xiao Xiao added a sentence, and sure enough, seeing the prince's face beaming with joy.

After all, the father still values ​​himself. I am a concubine and elder, ten years older than the second child. The father does not value me but the concubine raised by the second child.

"Is there anything else? But there are other people in charge? How does the father plan to deal with this matter?"

Xiao Huangmen knew that the crown prince and the second prince, Prince Yide, were at odds, so he said cautiously,

"What's more, the emperor asked Prince Yide to assist you,"

"Snapped!"

The prince opened the case table, his fat body was trembling, just now he was thinking that his father valued him, so he slapped him in the face in a blink of an eye.

Thinking of how much the emperor has always valued his second brother, the prince couldn't help turning his eyes red with jealousy. The emperor probably wanted the second brother to be in charge a long time ago, but he pulled him just for the sake of looking good!

"What else?" The prince gritted his teeth.

Xiao Huangmen said tremblingly, "The Holy Majesty ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the altar. He wants to personally ask for rain and dew, send troops to suppress the rioters, and transfer the grain and tax money stored in Jiangnan and Huguang to relieve the disaster."

"Jiangnan, Huguang!"

"Bang! Clap!"

"what!"

The prince kicked the roller beside his feet, and the famous paintings and copybooks inside spilled all over the floor. Xiao Huangmen didn't notice it for a moment, and was hit on the head by one of the scrolls and yelled.

When I came back to my senses, I saw the prince's cannibalistic eyes, and quickly kowtowed,

"Prince, forgive me! Prince, forgive me! Prince, forgive me!"

Seeing no response from the prince, Xiao Huangmen could only keep kowtow, his forehead gradually swelled up, and blood oozes out.

I don't know how long it took, but the prince gradually calmed down, stood up straight slowly, tidied up the messy clothes just now, and said,

"Get up! If you have something to apologize for, don't kowtow, look carefully at your forehead, go, and call your father-in-law."

Xiao Huangmen was overjoyed when he heard the prince's gentle and gentle words, thinking that maybe the rumors about the prince's tyranny might be false. The prince was famous for being virtuous and gentle back then, but he didn't dare to stay too long, and crawled outside up.

Xiaodezi's father-in-law is the prince's confidant. Seeing that the prince wanted to question Xiaohuangmen carefully, he was not annoyed when he was called out by the prince. He guarded outside to prevent anyone from approaching.

He was a steady person, and he didn't raise an eyebrow when he heard the "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping's', he would only sigh in his heart, what a pity."

Seeing Xiaohuangmen crawling out, saying that the prince called him, he entered the house without delay.

The house was in a mess, and Xiao Dezi turned a blind eye to it. He stepped on the valuable calligraphy and paintings that the prince loves like treasures on weekdays.

Walking to the prince's side, he said softly, "Prince, what are your orders?"

"The little yellow gate was chopped up and fed to the dogs just now." The prince's tone was always calm and gentle.

But Xiaodezi's father-in-law couldn't help raising his eyebrows, the prince was furious, and he didn't even want to cover it up.

It turns out that the prince had a gentle personality in his early years, but after so many years of trembling, his temperament has long been distorted. When he is in a bad mood, he often takes out his anger on his servants, but his reason is still there, and he always repays it after letting him disappear for a while. In recent years, batch after batch of people have changed in the East Palace of the Crown Prince, and some people speculate that the Crown Prince is tyrannical, but since there is no evidence, it is just a rumor.

Father-in-law Xiaode raised his head and glanced at the prince, and saw that his eyes were as calm as water, hiding countless madness.

"Yes." Xiao Dezi didn't move, he knew that the prince still had something to order.

"Go and invite the master of the country to come in, and the king of Beijing County."

"Yes." Xiao Dezi bowed and was about to leave.

"Wait, go tell Jia She of Rongguo Mansion that his matter is settled."

"Yes."

The prince here calmed down, but Prince Yide couldn't calm down over there.

Yichun Palace, the palace room where Concubine Zhen lives. As a concubine who has been favored for decades, Concubine Zhen's palace is magnificent and full of fragrance.

"Mother and concubine, father wants to investigate Jiangnan! What should we do! Grandfather and the others are in Jiangnan!"

A handsome and tall man asked anxiously. He inherited a strong and tall figure inherited from his family outside the customs, but his appearance was biased towards his mother from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Compared with his brother who was a prince, he could be said to be superior More than one chip.

As soon as Concubine Zhen changed from being delicate and lovely in front of the emperor, her phoenix eyes, which were always low-browed and pleasing to the eye, turned, she smiled leisurely, and stretched out her well-maintained impatiens-dyed nails. The son nodded his forehead,

"Why are you in a hurry! Your uncle and the others are not vegetarians in Jiangnan for so many years, and there are still people standing in front of you!"

Prince Yide's eyes lit up, "Mother, do you mean big brother?"

Concubine Zhen laughed, "You can turn a corner with your stupid brain, have you forgotten Master Lin from Jiangnan?"

"Isn't this Lin Ruhai sick?"

Concubine Zhen looked at his son, shook her head and said, "Lin Ruhai is the emperor's confidant, if the emperor wants to collect the Jiangnan grain tax, he must go through him, it's a pity, your father, a loyal minister, has long been taken care of by him. The crown prince has made people unclear."

Prince Yide was shocked, "Brother, he really dares to attack the confidant of the emperor?"

Concubine Zhen smiled sarcastically, "Why wouldn't your elder brother dare to be the prince after so many years?"
