Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Jiang Jun watched Prime Minister Wang leave the topic and immediately brought it back, "Prince Rong's caravan."

Prime Minister Wang glanced at Jiang Jun and sighed in his heart. Although the two of them sometimes had different political opinions, they were still a little hypocritical after so many years. After hearing what he said, he thought about it and said, "The matter about the caravan was originally the prince's fault." His Highness proposed it, and according to me, this caravan was formed two years ago.”

Jiang Jun was stunned, looked at Prime Minister Wang and asked, "Two years ago?"

It had been a long time, but he didn't hear the news. Thinking of this, he glanced at Prime Minister Wang, and he was indeed a cunning person who could know this kind of news.

Prime Minister Wang nodded slightly, "I'm afraid the idea of ​​​​salt exchange is not feasible. You might as well ask to see His Highness the Crown Prince and ask His Highness for advice."

Jiang Jun understood what Prime Minister Wang meant. The caravan was proposed by the Crown Prince. His Highness must know the situation of the caravan best, so it might be safer to ask His Highness the Crown Prince if it would work.

Jiang Jun stood up immediately, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your advice. I will go to the East Palace to see His Highness."

Prime Minister Wang hurriedly stopped the person, "It's so late today..."

"No matter how late it is, I have to go. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs really doesn't have overnight food. I feel panicked."

Jiang Jun left in a hurry, and Prime Minister Wang clicked his tongue. The old guy was pretending that he would believe it if he said that the Ministry of Household Affairs did not have enough food in stock, but he would not believe it if there was no overnight food.

Jiang Jun is such a tough guy, he won't be without money even if he doesn't have it.

After sending Jiang Jun away, Prime Minister Wang began to think about his daughter's marriage again, and frowned even more tightly. The marriage with the Duke of Qi must be carefully considered.

On the other hand, Jiang Jun went to the East Palace to ask for an audience with the Crown Prince, and inquired carefully about the salt exchange. Yan Jun was surprised when he heard Jiang Jun's idea, but after thinking about it carefully, it may not be feasible. The two of them carefully thought about it. The discussion didn't break up until midnight.

At this time, the curfew had already been imposed, and Jiang Jun was sent back to the house by Yang Jin himself. On the way back to the East Palace, Yang Jin was also thinking about this matter. This is really a strange idea. It sounds too bold, but it is not impossible according to His Highness's intention. .

The border was bitterly cold, and caravans rarely passed by. That's why the Crown Princess suggested forming a caravan on her own. It wouldn't be impossible if she could use salt to attract the caravans, but those old-fashioned people in the court might not be able to pass the court's approval.

Once the salt and iron replacement is implemented, I don't know how many people's interests will be affected. Salt and iron are the lifeblood of the imperial court, and how many people are watching.

Yan Junchu did not rashly mention the matter directly in the court, but waited until after the next court to ask for an audience with His Majesty, and first explored the matter privately.

The emperor was having a headache because of Jiang Jun's crying for poverty. No matter how poor the household department was, the money of Zhangping Mansion and other places had to be diverted. Although he was the emperor, there were some things that he couldn't talk about.

Now that he heard about the prince's salt exchange, the emperor frowned, "Why did you suddenly come up with such an idea?"

Yan Junchu looked calm and answered truthfully, "Last night Mr. Jiang went to the East Palace to mention this matter to his son. His son thought that this matter was feasible, but he couldn't accept it rashly, so he came to ask his father for advice today."

The emperor's face was solemn, "Businessmen are pursuing profit. If the salt exchange is implemented, and if strict supervision is not carried out, cholera will occur. The salt exchange is related to the imperial government's plans, so we must proceed with caution."

"What my father said is absolutely true. It's just that the life of the people at the border is really cold. If we can improve the border with salt, we can take the risk and give it a try." Yan Junchu spoke in a tactful tone, and sighed softly as he spoke, "Father, seventh brother He has such an out-of-the-box temperament, and when he sees the suffering of the people at the border, he is willing to stay and do his best for them. I am not talented, but if my father thinks it is feasible, I am willing to serve as my father's vanguard."

"Let me think about it again. You can go back first." The emperor waved his hand.

Yan Junchu's heart sank, seeing that his father and son might not be able to agree to this, but at this time he could not continue to persuade him, lest it would be counterproductive.

The emperor felt depressed, so he simply went to the harem for a walk. He went to the queen first. As the queen was not there, the emperor went to Yuzhao Palace.

Concubine Li was very surprised to see His Majesty. She hurriedly welcomed them in and said with a smile: "Why did Your Majesty have time to come to my concubine today? I am really surprised."

The emperor looked at Concubine Li's eyes full of joy and smiled, and then he said, "I came here to see you, what are you busy with?"

Concubine Li personally served tea to His Majesty, and then said with a smile, "I have been thinking about one thing these days, and I just don't know how to talk to Your Majesty."

The emperor became interested after hearing this, "Tell me about it."

Concubine Li sat down next to His Majesty, the smile on her face became more genuine, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, on the day of the summer banquet, a lady asked me about the hunt. In the past, the hunt was held at the palace. This year, I did not go to the palace. So I don’t know if the hunt will be held again. They asked me how did I know this, and they thought of asking His Majesty, but His Majesty is busy with government affairs these days, so I didn’t dare to worry you, so I postponed it. .”

"Hunting?" The emperor really hasn't thought about this matter. Recently, the court affairs have come one after another, which makes people almost breathless. It would be nice to hold a hunt, which can just relax.

Concubine Li looked at His Majesty's expression and couldn't figure out what His Majesty meant for a moment, but she really wanted to facilitate this matter, hoping that King Xiang would excel in the hunt and allow His Majesty to see her son.

"Your Majesty, you are working so hard on court affairs, I really feel sorry for you. I feel that the hunting ground in the capital is idle, so it is better to take the ministers and family members to relax." Concubine Li said softly.

The emperor nodded slightly, "It's hard for my beloved concubine to think so thoughtfully. I'll think about it before I talk."

Concubine Li knew there was hope in this matter as soon as she heard it, so she didn't say anything more to avoid going too far. She changed the subject and talked about Prince Xiang's marriage, asking her Majesty which family's daughter he wanted to choose. King Xiang.

On the other side, the queen returned to Yuanhui Palace and smiled when she knew that her majesty had gone to Yuzhao Palace. It seemed that things should work out.

Aunt Zhao walked in quickly, saw the Queen bending down to salute, and said: "Empress, Fu Yun has been sent to Zhuangzi and left this morning."

The queen frowned slightly, then sneered, "Sending someone away is just a cover-up. Seeing that Prince Xiang is about to grant a marriage, she is anxious."

"Now that the news about Fuyun's inability to regenerate has been released by Prince Xiang's Mansion, it seems that everything is really going to be overturned." Nanny Zhao said.

"Burn the boat?" The queen sneered, how could she let Concubine Li get her wish. "Even if a concubine is given a life-saving gift, it will only be temporary. Moreover, Concubine Li clearly does not allow Mr. Fuyun to have children, but Fuyun dares to disobey Concubine Li and get pregnant. How can such a bold person be content?"

"Your Majesty said it is." Aunt Zhao knew what she meant. If these words were spread, others would naturally think more about it.

Fuyun was only sent to Zhuangzi temporarily. Since he could send it, of course he could take it back.

Concubine Li was not in a good mood because she failed to get the news she wanted from His Majesty. Within two days, it was reported that sending Fuyun to Prince Xiang's Mansion was just a temporary measure, which made Concubine Li very angry. With a dark face, I knew who did it without even thinking.

The empress and Concubine Li continued to quarrel in private, and within a few days the emperor issued an order to hunt them down.

After Su Xinyi got the news, she thought to herself that the Queen was really powerful, and the matter was finally done.

Su Xinyi was very excited about preparing for the hunt and went to the warehouse to decide on a convenient weapon.

On the other hand, the Marquis of Wu'an breathed a sigh of relief when they got the news. Since the summer banquet, there had been no news at all from the palace. This made them anxious. They didn't know what His Majesty meant.

With both the prospect of joining hands and the meeting at the banquet, how could His Majesty remain indifferent?

Mrs. Wu'anhou has been anxious in the house these days, with a bubble forming at the corner of her mouth. Now that she has received the news of the hunt, she feels much more relaxed.

Before this tone could completely relax, I heard the Queen's Majesty say again that she wanted to form a women's hunting team, saying that women should not be inferior to men, and let the Crown Princess lead the team to compete.

His Majesty actually agreed.

Su Xinyi was making an audience at the Zichen Palace at this time, and she did not expect that His Majesty would summon her.

"The Queen strongly recommends you, are you sure?"

Su Xinyi's mouth twitched when he heard His Majesty's words. Who dares to be sure about this kind of thing? Things on the hunting ground change rapidly.

After being married to the royal family for so long, Su Xinyi can now figure out a bit of His Majesty's temperament. His Majesty asked her this not simply. He first brought the Queen in, and then asked her if she was sure of winning. There was a clear meaning in these words. Just to test the relationship between the Queen and her.

Su Xinyi's mind was spinning rapidly. When he raised his head, the expression on his face had changed. He looked fearless and said cheerfully: "Father, how can you guarantee that your daughter-in-law will win in this kind of thing? My daughter-in-law can only win." Try your best to win. My father has many capable people, hiding dragons and crouching tigers, but my daughter-in-law does not dare to be arrogant. However, my daughter-in-law is also confident and will never embarrass our royal family."

Give us the royal family...

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched. This unworthy virtue was indeed inherited from his family.

"You agreed so readily, did you know about it before?" the emperor asked casually and teasingly.

"My daughter-in-law doesn't know. It would be great if she knew. We can make preparations in advance. Now we can only pull up a temporary team. Father, do you think I, a straggler, should be taken care of?" Su Xinyi said with a smile.

emperor:?

"Take care of me?" The emperor said with a wooden face, "I am always a fair person."

"What my father said is that my daughter-in-law dared to say this just because she knew that you were always fair. The soldiers you accepted were all hardened and upright soldiers from the guard. You see, I dare not say that the old, weak, sick and disabled are actually very different. Not much, at least let your daughter-in-law pick out a few weapons and equipment so that all my men can hunt."

As he said, his side was fully armed, while her side was old, weak, sick and disabled. This not only showed weakness but also made her poor.

The emperor saw that Su Xinyi did not back down and said, "The prince's warehouse has nothing, just pick it up."

Su Xinyi thought to herself that it didn't hurt at all for your majesty to break other people's teeth, so she immediately said: "Father, your highness will definitely let your daughter-in-law choose, but you are the elder, so you can embolden your daughter-in-law, and it will be a good thing to say it out. After all, if my daughter-in-law’s team is brought out, even if I don’t admit it, others will think it’s our royal team.”

Why didn't the emperor notice that Su Xinyi was getting thicker and thicker? This was because she was throwing Prince Rong's shame into her face.

Su Xinyi looked at His Majesty's expression with uncertainty. Although she was a little worried and tangled in her heart, there was a saying that was right. The more you give to someone, the more your expectations will be met. The greater the cost, the less room for error there is.

Su Xinyi was now thinking about how King Xiang was approaching, and wondered what the emperor's attitude would be. Anyway, Concubine Li's position was stable now, and she could not take the initiative against King Xiang. If the emperor noticed her, it would definitely harm the Crown Prince.

Without being able to give someone a handle, Su Xinyi could only overtake in a roundabout way. Then let His Majesty invest more in their couple. The more he gave, the more affection he poured into them. In the end, he would be even more reluctant to let go.

Just like in the previous life, whether it was Princess Pingjing or Yan Qiongsi, they invested too much in Shang Junyan, so whoever blocked Shang Junyan's way or prevented them from getting close to Shang Junyan would die.

She doesn't understand this kind of emotion very well, but that doesn't stop her from imitating cats and tigers.

It's just that Princess Pingjing and Yan Qiongsi have malicious intentions, but she is just moving forward with a normal heart. As long as people don't offend her, she won't offend them.

His Majesty is the banner that protects His Highness. Concubine Li and her son are now poaching, so of course she must guard it for His Highness.

Taking steps step by step is not what she is good at, she is good at taking the initiative.

"What do you want?" The emperor looked at Su Xinyi and asked thoughtfully.

Su Xinyi immediately made a bright-eyed expression, straightened her body, and said seriously, "Father, since you are willing to take care of your daughter-in-law, why do you have the nerve to pick and choose? No matter what you give, your daughter-in-law is grateful to your father. "

emperor:……

Listen to what he said, if he gives less or worse, doesn’t that make him lose face?

The emperor was upset when he looked at Su Xinyi now. He was not as easy to deal with as Rong Wang, "You go to the Ministry of War Arms and Arms Department to pick him up, get out of here."

Su Xinyi:......

Don't use the word "roll".

Su Xinyi's first test was successful, and the joy came so suddenly, which showed that her idea was feasible, and she was in a good mood, so she naturally didn't care about His Majesty and told her to get out.

She left in a hurry, and after thinking about it, she went directly to the Ministry of War to strike while the iron was hot.

After Su Xinyi left, the emperor looked at Hu Siyi and said, "Look at what she looks like now. I saw that after she came back from Zhangping Mansion, she became wild."

What could Hu Siyi say? He couldn't offend either side. He racked his brains and said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess was restrained when she first entered the palace. It's because you treat the Crown Princess like a daughter that the Crown Princess can be so relaxed and comfortable in front of you. Dare to say anything.”

The emperor felt relieved after hearing this, and then complained: "That's not entirely true. She is just like his father at heart. Su Chun was more courageous than her at that time."

Hu Siyi said with a smile on his face: "The tiger father has no dog daughter. Your Majesty treats the Su family very kindly, and the Crown Princess understands this in her heart."

The emperor sighed softly after hearing this, "Is Su Yi still in Jiangnan now?"

"We are collecting food for His Highness King Rong." Hu Siyi said cautiously.

The emperor nodded slightly, "Su Qi from the Duke of Qi's Mansion is doing well this time.\

,"Hu Siyi didn't dare to answer these words and just stood there with a smile.

Then I heard His Majesty say again: "Go to the Ministry of War."

Hu Siyi was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and said, "I'll go right away."

Is Your Majesty afraid that the Crown Princess will evacuate the military headquarters?

Hu Siyi left the hall, looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, narrowed his eyes slightly, then took a breath and lifted his feet to leave.

He has been following His Majesty for decades, and he always feels that His Majesty has been a lot more thoughtful recently, and is even extra careful when taking him on errands. Thinking of Miss You that day again, Hu Siyi also felt a headache. His Majesty didn't say a word after he came back, and he couldn't guess what His Majesty meant.

It is really stupid for Marquis Wu An to inquire about information from him. Not only does he not know what His Majesty is thinking about this kind of thing, but he also knows that he can tell him?

Hu Siyi went to the Ministry of War and found out that the Crown Princess had come and left. The speed was fast enough. No wonder His Majesty asked him to come and take a look. He went to look at the things the Crown Princess had taken away and wrote them down one by one in his mind. Just go back and reply.

The Crown Princess was really not greedy. She didn't want much, but everything was of the best quality. Seeing the distressed look on Arms's face, he found it funny.

Su Xinyi collected the emperor's wool and returned to the East Palace, and happened to be walking across from Yan Junchu. Yan Junchu looked at the dozen or so people following Su Xinyi, each holding a pile of things, and looked at Su Xinyi with question marks on his face.

Su Xinyi said righteously in front of the people from the Armed Forces Department of the Ministry of War: "Your Highness, my father knows that it is not easy for me to form a hunting team, so he specially rewarded me with these weapons to encourage me."

Yan Junchu didn't believe a word of it, but he still smiled and said in front of outsiders: "Father is so kind. You have to do your best during this hunt so that you can live up to Father's love."

"Of course, your Highness, just don't worry." Su Xinyi said.

People from the Armed Forces:...

The Crown Princess was quite tough before she got married, and now she still needs to be tough under orders. The hunt was really exciting this time, but I don't know if they had the honor to watch it.

The people from the military preparation station put down their things and left, full of gossip. After returning, they spread the conversation about the prince and his wife.

In the end, it turned out that His Majesty rewarded the Crown Princess generously to encourage her, and the Crown Princess acted domineeringly according to the order.

Su Xinyi:......

After all, the big pot hit his head, which hurt a little.

The emperor was overjoyed when he found out, and said to Hu Siyi: "Okay, I'm shooting myself in the foot. I want to see what tricks she can pull off during this hunt."

Hu Siyi wiped his sweat, but he didn't dare to answer these words anymore, and he wanted to give the princess some advice.

Your Majesty's wool is not easy to pluck.

At this time, Zhu Chanyi, Xiong Jianhua, Zhao Yeqiu, Xu Minying, Guo Yunrong and others all received invitations from the Crown Princess, inviting them to participate in the hunt and asking them if they had the intention to form a team with her.
