Reborn Farmhouse Restaurant [Transmigration Book]

The third prince staggered out of the bedroom, and wanted to leave the palace, but happened to meet Qi Cheng and Jiang Chuan who wanted to enter the palace together. When Qi Cheng saw the third prince, he smiled, "I just have something to ask His Highness to rule, Cang Wenmao In the case of embezzling official bank and causing Jiangmeng County's official bank to be short-lived, I don't know when His Highness has figured it out and will be convicted?"

The third prince raised his head, that is, he is at a disadvantage. He is also a child of the royal family, so he cannot lose face!

The third prince pursed his lips, "Dali Temple hasn't cleared up the case yet, Marshal Qi is too anxious. Besides, you are a general, and the corruption trial has nothing to do with you."

"Naturally." Qi Cheng smiled and nodded, "I still have other important matters to ask His Highness. This year's military pay has been impounded so far. Can His Highness give you a reminder to send the money? Soldiers who fight in war can never let soldiers They bleed but they don’t even get paid.”

"The Ministry of Household Affairs said that the national treasury is short of money. When the taxes from Xi'an County and other counties are collected, the army will be paid. How about Marshal Qi to help your people and see when the tax money will be delivered?"

"Your Highness is joking. I am a general, and taxation is a matter of the household department. I dare not exceed the rules." Qi Cheng cupped his hands.

The third prince secretly gritted his teeth. These days, these people under the fifth prince's family are trying their best to find evidence of his people and suppress his people, while at the same time obstructing him in various ways and preventing him from doing things. The prefect of Xi'an County is the old man. The fifth man, he withheld the tax and refused to pay it, and Qi Cheng was urging him to ask for the military salary, but the head of the household department was also the fifth man. This group of people was a nest of snakes and rats, covering each other and playing tricks, just to cause trouble for him !

Jiang Chuan stared blankly at the third prince, but for a few days, he felt that the third prince had lost weight and couldn't help feeling distressed.

Qi Cheng glanced at Jiang Chuan, and said: "General Jiang seems to have something to ask His Highness, so I'll take my leave first." Said, Qi Cheng left quickly, leaving only the third prince and Jiang Chuan behind.

The third prince unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Cheng was aggressive, and he didn't want to face him. As for Jiang Chuan...Although he didn't really want to face him, at least so far, Jiang Chuan didn't make trouble for him. , I don't know if the fifth child can't order him or he doesn't want to fight against him, but anyway, it's better than facing Qi Cheng.

The third prince straightened his chest, put on a serious look, and asked, "What do you need from me? Is it also a military salary?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head quickly, "No, no, no! Our military salary can be paid later, don't worry, if you can't transfer the money, just take it easy."

"Oh." The third prince nodded. Sure enough, his feeling was right. Jiang Chuan just didn't intend to fight against him, and he didn't know what he said to the fifth child. Sometimes he couldn't figure it out. It doesn't count as taking refuge in Lao Wu, after all, it seems that he didn't do anything for him!

The third prince tilted his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure it out. He was about to leave, but Jiang Chuan raised his hand and held the third prince's arm, frowning instantly, "You've lost weight."

"Let go!" The third prince shook off Jiang Chuan's hand and turned around, "Give me some respect in the forbidden area of ​​the palace! If there is nothing else, my Highness will leave first."

"Actually... the border is really good. The people there are simple and warm, and they also do business. There is no shortage of silk, silk, satin, gold, silver and jade. You can eat, wear, play, and play whatever you want, and I can give it to you. If you can get it, if you can’t get it, I’ll have someone send it from the capital!”

The third prince laughed angrily, "Your Highness doesn't have any other pursuits except food, clothing, housing and travel, right? You didn't understand anything I told you last time!"

"I listened, I understand what you mean." Jiang Chuan said quickly: "But I think it's not wise to do what you can't do. If you retreat, you should retreat. Moreover, although the fifth prince is deliberately causing trouble for you , but the affairs of the court, even if the fifth prince did not deliberately do it, it would not be much easier, besides..."

Jiang Chuan looked around, listened carefully, and said after confirming that no one was there: "The treasury is empty, and the government is chaotic. It can't be rectified overnight. Why do you want to rob such a mess? It's not good to leave it to the fifth prince to worry about it." ?"

"Give your life to someone else, isn't it good?" The third prince sneered, "Don't bother me, I'm busy!"

"Even if you become the emperor, it will not be easy in your life. How do you control these people under the fifth prince? You can't kill them all? And those under your command, there are not many useful ones. The whole court, can you Who will govern the country?!" Jiang Chuan lowered his voice.

The third prince glanced coldly at Jiang Chuan, "Have you finished talking nonsense?"

Jiang Chuan fell silent, this is his sincere words.

"What you said, you think I can't think of it?" The third prince smiled sarcastically, pointing to himself, "I'm not stupid! I know what I'm doing."

He was born in the imperial family, and he is the son of the eldest son, if he doesn't fight, he will die!Even if he doesn't like that position, in order to survive and live well enough, he must fight for it. He has no other way to go. As for the difficulty of governing the country, who doesn't know?But who told his mother to give birth to him in the royal family instead of an ordinary wealthy family? !

The third prince waved his hand and left, no longer talking to Jiang Chuan.

"I will always save you." Jiang Chuan lowered his voice.

"cut!"

……

In the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Du Rulin begged to see the Fifth Prince. The court has become more and more chaotic recently, but the Fifth Prince is more humble and docile, as if the twists and turns in the court have nothing to do with him. He reads and writes at home every day, and occasionally submits a few manuscripts to the palace. The "Book of Filial Piety", its characters are getting better and better, with a bit of charm.

"Ru Lin is here, sit down quickly." As soon as the door of the study was opened, Du Rulin hadn't saluted yet, but the fifth prince stopped him with a smile, and asked the servants to set up the stool. He still leaned on the desk, looking at the calligraphy and painting in front of him.

After Du Rulin responded, before he could sit still, the Fifth Prince said, "Come here and see how my calligraphy is doing? Can you catch my eyes?"

Du Rulin immediately got up and walked to the desk. On the paper on the table, there were four big characters of 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety and filial piety' written on it.

"Your Highness, that's excellent." Du Rulin kept his thoughts hidden, and couldn't find any new words to praise him.

The fifth prince didn't expect Du Rulin to say anything about him, so he put down his pen and said, "After all, I have been studying at home for so long. If there is no progress, how can I live up to my father's expectations?"

The emperor's expectation of you should not be to let you really read and write at home, right?It even yielded results.Du Rulin didn't answer.

"Now, my handwriting has a bit of tolerance, and my father should feel at ease." The fifth prince sighed.

Du Rulin was taken aback for a moment, why feel at ease?What does calligraphy practice have to do with peace of mind? !When did you need the words of the fifth prince to reassure the emperor.

"By the way, did you come to see me for something?" The fifth prince asked with a smile.

Du Rulin didn't think about the relationship between the fifth prince's words and An Xin, and instead said: "Yes... there is a small matter."

"Tell me? If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best."

"No, no! There is a small matter I want to report to Your Highness...Caomin has a friend named Liu Tai, and now..." Du Rulin composed words slowly, thinking over and over in his heart before he dared to speak.

The fifth prince sat down, and chuckled lightly, "You mean the little Mr. Liu next to the father? He is a very interesting person. He also saved the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital before. If he didn't stop him, father The emperor will kill at least half of it, and only keep half to treat himself."

Du Rulin quickly knelt down, made a big salute, and said: "Your Highness, Liu Tai's heart is pure, kind and simple. He grew up in the countryside. He doesn't understand anything."

"Yes! If it weren't for a loyal heart, a simple temperament, and a clean background, how could the father be so trusting in such a short period of time?" The fifth prince smiled, "If Lin mentioned this person to me today, it was him. Do you mean it yourself?"

Because it was not Liu Tai's original intention, Du Rulin didn't know how to speak. If Liu Tai wanted to surrender to the fifth prince, he must be very confident, and he would come as if he had received merit. How could he be so hesitant? When the fifth prince mentioned Liu Tai, he also thought that if the fifth prince was really in power one day, he would not hurt Liu Tai and misunderstand that he belonged to the eighth prince.

Du Rulin was speechless for a moment.

The Fifth Prince sighed, "Ru Lin certainly has good intentions, but I'm afraid your friends won't appreciate it."

"Since your Highness knows him, you can understand that he is indeed a person with no other thoughts, he just obeys orders!"

The fifth prince nodded, "That's true, don't worry, I won't misunderstand him." The fifth prince chuckled, "If he needs my help, I will do my best, after all, he is Ru Lin's friend ah!"

Du Rulin heaved a sigh of relief, and wanted to thank you, when he heard the fifth prince add, "There's someone called Qiu You, right? It's rare to see friends who are as close as the three of you, even brothers. I can't compare it, but it makes me a little envious."

Du Rulin's movements froze for a moment, but he still bowed his hands and thanked him.

"If it's convenient for Mr. Liu, can you do me a little favor?"

Du Rulin was slightly taken aback.

"Father wants me to study at home, which is a matter of course, but father is seriously ill, and as a son, I can't serve and feed medicine in front of the bed. No matter how much you worry about your father's health, it's still difficult to know about your father's condition. If he is willing, can you send me a letter occasionally, letting me know something about your father's health?"

Du Rulin knew that Liu Tai would definitely refuse, and news from inside the palace could not be spread outside, so the Fifth Prince didn't know, so could Liu Tai do it?The fifth prince still wants Liu Tai to fall to him!

But Du Rulin collected himself, cupped his hands and said: "Cao Min will definitely tell Liu Tai when he returns, please rest assured, Your Highness."

The fifth prince smiled and nodded, "That's troublesome."

After Du Rulin retreated, the hidden guard jumped down. Just now he was reporting the news from the palace, Du Rulin begged to see him, so he hid. Now that Du Rulin is gone, he just came out. The commander of the dark guard was puzzled, "Your Highness , why do you want Liu Tai to do such a thing, and act according to his character found by his subordinates, I'm afraid he won't be used by His Highness, and besides, he is just a favorite in the end, I'm afraid he can't touch the secrets."

An existence like the emperor's favorite who is unwilling and unable to touch the secrets, why bother to waste this tongue.Their eyeliner in the palace can find out more things than Liu Tai.

The Fifth Prince accepted the writing on the table, revealing all kinds of confidential letters below, and said: "I don't really want to use him for anything, that's just for him to hear."

Du Rulin went home and told Liu Tai the matter, Liu Tai exploded in an instant, "I don't need you to do this! I can't spread the news from the palace either!"

"I know!" Du Rulin said hastily: "The fifth prince doesn't really expect you to do anything, he must have his own eyeliner!"

After Liu Tai thought about it, he also felt that it was reasonable, so he sat down honestly, "Then why is he saying that?"

"He was afraid that I was going to plead without telling you, so he asked me to convey it to you. I begged him, and he agreed to let you understand..." Du Rulin's eyes flashed, "Whether you want it or not, you have to In his favor..."

Liu Tai was speechless for a moment, then asked again: "Then if he asks you what news I sent back, how would you answer?"

"Your Majesty has not recovered from his illness, and the situation is unknown!" Du Rulin said as a matter of course, isn't this something that the whole capital knows, and this is what the fifth prince needs to know.
