After the Gu of the Red Chamber

When Tu Lei hurried back to Qin's house, he saw an unexpected guest in Qin's house!

Although the man knew that Tu Lei was back, he didn't even look back. He just raised his head slightly, as if admiring a painting hanging in the lobby. That painting was bought by Tu Lei from a small calligraphy and painting stall near Liulichang In exchange for the simple ink bamboo, the painting has a bit of charm, with a hint of nobility.

Since he is a failed scholar, a pair of paintings is only one tael of silver, and the price is not expensive, so Tu Lei bought ten sets in one go, and he even tricked the failed scholar to buy ten and get one free, so he bought it for ten taels of silver. Eleven paintings.

In the case that 20 taels of silver is enough for a family of four to chew for a year, ten taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, and it is a huge sum of money for a child. It is also because of Tu Lei's special status. Ye didn't dare to ask more about his affairs, so no one dared to ask a single word, at most it was Qin Zhong's nanny who wentssip in private.

Of course, if it is an ordinary child, no matter how rich they are, it is not the way to spend it. After all, buying a pair of calligraphy and painting is called Fengya, and buying eleven pairs in one go is called wholesale. Xie, that's why Tu Lei gave his paintings and calligraphy directly to Baotuan.

Zheng Xie's calligraphy and painting are unique, and he is quite famous in later generations, even reaching the point where a thousand dollars is hard to find. He is one of the few calligraphers and painters who have become famous alive. In the future, the taste of the six and a half books in one hand is in it. If there are any omissions, Tu Lei feels sorry for himself.

So Tu Lei made a group without saying anything, and generously sent half of it to the old man's house first, and then picked the best painting and hung it in the lobby of Qin's house.

He respects Qin Ye's character quite a lot, but Qin Ye is too dignified, which makes him a poor official who is still suffering. With his temperament, he will not give him money openly Accepted, but small things like calligraphy and painting are fine. Even if Zheng Xie becomes famous in the future and calligraphy and painting become valuable, it will be Qin Ye's fate.

Although Zheng Xie is not yet at the stage of great success, the ink and bamboo he painted are elegant and elegant, with a taste of peace and happiness. It is just right to be placed in the lobby of the Qin family. People stop and admire.

The man was dressed in a green shirt, tall and thin, with a clear demeanor, like a scribe, but inexplicably had an arrogance that no one in the world could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

He looked at the pair of ink bamboos in the hall, and seemed to be a little bit amused, and said with a smile: "Is this Lei'er buying it back with ten taels of silver?"

"Exactly." Qin Ye stood behind the man with his hands tied, and replied respectfully.

The man nodded slightly, and said lightly: "It's still a bit discerning."

Although there are still some deficiencies, he already has a bit of his own strength of character. The most rare thing about painting and calligraphy is to go out of his own way. He bought eleven paintings of this person for ten taels of silver, and the money was not wronged.

Qin Ye then boasted, "The little master is like a master, so he has a good vision."

This is the Qin family. Qin Ye is obviously the head of the Qin family. Ever since that person came in, he has acted like a servant. Even Xia Xingquan did the same.

Xia Yuquan trembled slightly, his eyes were red, and he whispered softly, "Master..."

Not only him, even Tu Lei choked up when he first saw the man's back.

Even without Xia Xingquan's words of master, Tu Lei immediately recognized the person in front of him as soon as he saw the back.The person in front of him was none other than the deposed prince who had been imprisoned in the palace for many years.

Goodbye to his father, Tu Lei couldn't hide his excitement. No matter who it was, seeing his father who hadn't seen him for many years, he couldn't help but feel a little sad for a moment. Tu Lei never thought that he would see his father again so soon!And he's still a lively dad!

Ahem, I can't blame Tu Lei for being particularly excited. After all, in the previous life, his father had been a little depressed because he had been tortured by the imperial grandfather for many years. Heaps of mess, hard work and depression, after barely guiding the Dajin Dynasty back to the right path, it went within a few years.

For Tu Lei, the loss of his father was really a big blow, and after his father died, he had to immediately take over such a large family business from the Jin Dynasty, not to mention the hardships involved. I miss my late father.

Seeing his real father for the first time, Tu Lei's eyes couldn't help turning red.

The man had a brief chat with Qin Ye, and when he turned around, he saw a long face that was somewhat similar to Tu Lei's. A bit of depression was added between the eyebrows.

The deposed prince looked at Tu Lei, and sighed after a long time: "You have grown up."

Not only Tu Lei recognized the abandoned prince at first sight, even the abandoned prince recognized Tu Lei at first sight, there is no other reason, the father and son really look too much alike.

Back then he sent the child out in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to take a closer look at what the child looked like. Although he knew from the secret guard that the child was born like him, he still didn't know how much he resembled him. Now that he saw the child, Only then did I understand how much alike they are between father and son.

No wonder everyone knew that brother Lei was his flesh and blood as soon as this child walked around the capital, with just such a face, he could live in people.

Seeing Tu Lei's unconsciously red eyes, it was obvious that he had recognized him, and the abolished prince couldn't help being agitated, and subconsciously waved to Tu Lei, "Come here, let my father take a good look at you. "

"Father!" With red eyes, Tu Lei stepped forward to walk a few steps towards the deposed prince, choked up and said, "You...how did you come out?"

After the excitement, Tu Lei couldn't help being puzzled, he remembered that his father was imprisoned in Yuqing Palace, how could he come out?And there are rumors in the palace that his father was injured, why...?

Tu Lei was puzzled, and couldn't help showing a little bit on his face.

The deposed prince said unhappily: "It's not for you."

If he doesn't come out again, I don't know how many things this kid will do.

Although the deposed prince scolded Tu Lei with a smile, there was not much anger on his face, but a bit of affection.

It is said that the abolished prince and Tu Lei and his son met for the first time, and they are both close relatives and far away members of the royal family, so they are somewhat different. I don't believe that this is the first time the two have met in this life.

For the deposed prince, it was only natural to get close to his own son. Most men prefer to look like their own children, not to mention that Tu Lei is his only son, so it is naturally different.

This is especially true for Tu Lei. In his previous life, he was not kept outside. At most, he was taken around by Jia She, and he was even closer to his father. The father and son only talked for a while. , but the father and son feel that the son and father in front of them are caring everywhere, as if the separation of the previous years never existed.

The abolished prince taught Tu Lei a good lesson about what happened some time ago. He didn't say that this kid was too bold. He dared to compete with those old foxes in the court at a young age. He was lucky if he didn't overturn his car.

Tu Lei accepted the teaching humbly, but replied unconvinced: "I also want to save daddy."

The deposed prince sighed slightly, and patted Tu Lei's head, "These things are not your business." He paused and said, "You just need to protect yourself and be safe."

He is destined to be inseparable from the Forbidden City in this life, but at least his son can.

Tu Lei shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's not going to be safe."

He still remembers how he got here.

He paused and said: "As long as my son is alive, he will be a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the side of others. Instead of waiting, it is better to take the initiative to attack!"

The abandoned prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and said after a long time: "Lei'er, do you understand what I'm talking about?"

This palace is not so easy to get in, once in, it's not easy to get out.

Having been father and son for many years, Tu Lei naturally understood the meaning behind the abolished prince's words, and Tu Lei said seriously: "I want to go back!"

What Tu Lei used was going back, not going in!He was originally a member of the royal family, so he went back instead of going in.

Tu Lei said bluntly: "Father, I want to go back!"

He had thought about this matter as early as when he went to Beijing. He had too many things he wanted to do, and these things were all inseparable from Quan, so he wanted to go back.

He couldn't just watch this Dajin being dragged to the bottom of the valley by the imperial grandfather, and he didn't want to see his father forcefully exhausting himself to save Dajin, so he wanted to go back, for his father and for the Dajin Dynasty Do something practical.

Tu Lei made no secret of his ambition for the throne. The deposed prince frowned slightly, and finally sighed. Selfishly, he didn't want Tu Lei to get involved in the royal family's fight for the throne. Sons are not sons, brothers are not like brothers, why bother?

But Tu Lei thinks that he is already in it, so why not fight for it, when it comes to the end, the father and son can't speak for each other in the end, on the contrary, they have nothing to say.

After all, the abolished prince was imprisoned in Yuqing Palace, even if he directed and acted in such a big play, it would only buy him a little time, so he could only speak a few words with Tu Lei before rushing back. in the palace.

Xia Xingquan personally sent the abandoned prince back to the palace, seeing the somewhat gloomy expression on the abandoned prince's face, he couldn't help but persuade: "Master! It's a good thing that the little master is interested in this."

He kind of agrees with the little master. In this world, there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. If you can't avoid it, it's safer to just sit in that seat.

The waste prince shook his head slightly, "This matter is not as simple as this child thinks."

How could this child be so easy to do, father and son are not like father and son, brothers are not like brothers, this child is still too simple, and there are ups and downs in the court, how can it be so easy for those old foxes to deal with.

Xia Xingquan said with a smile: "The old slave looks at the young master with some talent."

Those old foxes are masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles. Apart from status, if the little master has no ability, then he can talk to those old foxes.

"Besides, what the little master said is right, even if the little master doesn't fight, I'm afraid others will not let the little master go."

After all, the prostitute of the prostitute is too eye-catching.

Speaking of that, the waste prince frowned slightly, "Can you find out who did it that day?"

He also knew that brother Lei almost disappeared in Jinling back then. All his brothers had already guessed it, and they still don't know who did it.

Although the fourth child is the most likely, but based on his understanding of the fourth child, he should not have this ability.

Although the fourth son became the crown prince, he was just the taller one among the dwarfs. In terms of ability, he was probably far inferior to the third son. The only elder was obedient and well-behaved. The man who assassinated his nephew.

Besides, those people are professional killers, to put it bluntly, the fourth child doesn't have that kind of capital.

Although the An family made a fortune in the Jianghuai flood that year, but the fourth child is not An's nephew, how could the An family help the fourth child for nothing.

You know, the fourth child even rejected An Concubine's proposal to let him marry his niece. The little money on the bill is really not enough for him to buy a killer to assassinate Lei'er.

No matter what the waste prince thought, he still couldn't figure out who did it.

Xia Xingquan also shook his head in distress, "This old slave is incompetent."

Probably when God opened a window, he would also help close another window. In terms of strength, Xia Xingquan is probably stronger than Xia Dequan. Even in the Jianghu, he can be called a master Now, it can be seen that its force value is high.

But his strength is high, and similarly, his brain is a bit weaker, so he and his elder brother Xia Dequan entered the palace at the same time, and in the end Xia Dequan became the great eunuch next to Emperor Pingkang. He didn't care about anything inside and outside the palace, but Xia Xingquan But it fell into the role of taking care of the children.

Like Tu Lei's previous assassination, if it fell into Xia Dequan's hands, he might have found out the truth early on, but it fell into Xia Xingquan's hands, and he has no direction until now. Of course, if he asks Xia Dequan for help, please Xia Dequan Give me a hand, and I can find out one or two if I think about it.

However, Xia Dequan was far away in the capital at that time. By the time Xia Dequan knew about it, more than half a month had passed, and all the clues had been destroyed by someone. Who is the one who made the move.

The abolished prince also understood Xia Xingquan's shortcomings, so he was not surprised by this matter. He didn't need to investigate carefully anyway, and he could guess that it was his brothers who did it, but he didn't know which brother it was.

He pondered slightly, "Perhaps... Brother Lei is right."

It was also because he was too confident back then, believing that he would be able to protect the child, but in the end, the child was in danger and almost lost his life.

Now that he is getting older, he is beginning to feel some of the impatience of his father. When he was alive, he could naturally protect Brother Lei, but what if he is gone?

From the point of view of the assassination, Brother Lei's words of a thorn in the flesh and a nail in the bone are not a joke.

Xia Xingquan's eyes lit up, "Has master decided to leave the mountain?"

Although the master was imprisoned in the Yuqing Palace by the Holy One, in his opinion, it was because the master did not want father and son to kill each other and locked himself in the Yuqing Palace. If the master really wanted to, he would not be able to get out of the Yuqing Palace.

It took only half a year to get a person in the capital who only knew that there was a crown prince but not a holy man. If he really wanted to fight, his ability was definitely beyond the reach of Emperor Pingkang, let alone the old man who is now old. Getting weaker.

The abandoned prince's eyes drooped slightly, and he said after a long time, "It's time for the prince to move."

Since that man dared to attack his son, let him mess up the water even more!He wanted to see who would dare to do such an inhuman thing.

The aborted prince hurried back and forth, quietly and gracefully, without attracting anyone's attention, except for the concubine, even Liu Guifei, who was recuperating in the palace, didn't know that the abolished prince had gone out, let alone others.

The princess asked the abandoned prince carefully, not to mention Tu Lei's appearance, even what clothes he was wearing, whether the color of the clothes was plain or bright, what shoes he was wearing, and even the pattern of the hairband on his head , I asked several times again and again, wishing to remember everything about the child firmly.

The deposed prince took the trouble to say one by one, and after making sure that the child was fine, the princess quietly wiped away her tears, and said in a low voice, "It seems that brother Lei is doing well outside."

It's not in vain that she made up her mind to send the child out back then, knowing that everything is fine with the child, the pain of separation of mother and child over the years is not in vain.

The deposed prince sighed slightly, held the hand of the princess, and said in a low voice: "Next time, let's go and see the child together."

He was too self-willed back then, believing that he was the crown prince, the heir apparent of the country, and trusting his father too much, so he did whatever he wanted without considering the consequences. Unexpectedly, he was caught as a pigtail because of this, and almost harmed his wife and children.

Back then, although the Crown Princess was pregnant and gave birth secretly, but also because of this, she lacked recuperation during her pregnancy, and her body bones have been bad since then. In addition, because of her own delivery, the delivery was not smooth and she lost too much blood , Since then, she can no longer have children, Tu Lei is her only flesh and blood, no wonder the Crown Princess cares so much.

Although the crown princess was moved, she still shook her head, "If we are not here, who will take charge of the overall situation? Just rely on the two side concubines? Or rely on Concubine Liu Gui?"

Speaking of the three words Liu Guipin, the Crown Princess showed a little narrowness.

The two side concubines were born as court ladies, and their status was not high. It was only because they gave birth to the eldest son and second son of the abolished prince that the mother made an exception and was made a side concubine. In terms of family background, It's far inferior to Concubine Liu Gui of Duke Li's Mansion.

However, although Liu Guifei's family background is high, she is also a troublesome person. The abolition of the crown prince was to guard against her, so he established a palace maid who gave birth to a concubine as a side concubine early, so as to cut off Liu Guifei's promotion path. Now that she is happy, she can't be beaten or scolded, and the only way to deal with her is after the child is born.

If it wasn't for preventing Liu Guipin from having contact with the Liu family outside, they wouldn't have hurt Liu Guipin's leg.

"You!" The waste prince understood what the princess meant, and cursed with a smile.

He paused and said: "I have already asked the prince to take action, you should remind the Shi family first, it is time to make preparations."

The concubine is the daughter of the Shi family's daughter-in-law in the Duke's Mansion of Shan State. All the four princes and eight princes will definitely be involved in this matter. The Duke's Mansion, if he guessed correctly, I'm afraid that the Duke's Mansion of Shan State would be the first to suffer.

The crown prince's expression froze, her voice trembled slightly, and she asked in disbelief, "The second master has finally decided?"

She thought that the second master had locked himself in Yuqing Palace for the rest of his life and would never go out again.

The waste prince said angrily: "If you don't go out again, is it possible that you really let that kid turn this day upside down?"

If he doesn't go out again, he doesn't know what brother Lei will do, maybe when he goes out, it will be the time for him to ascend the throne.

Don't doubt it, he can feel that the kid can do this kind of thing, and he's afraid he can do it too.

The princess was overjoyed when she heard the words, her husband finally decided to fight, so she finally had a chance to really keep the child by her side, even if she could sneak out and take a peek at the child, but why? As long as the real mother and child recognize each other.

"Second Master has really decided?" The princess was still a little worried, so she asked one more question.

She was afraid that her husband would care about the relationship between father and son, and would not argue with anything.

The waste prince smiled and patted the princess's hand.

No matter how much affection between father and son has been worn away in these years, all he thinks about now is to keep his little family.

Not to mention that the lineage of the deposed prince started to move quietly, because of Lin Ruhai's private persuasion, although there were some hard-headed people in the court who did not give up on joining the new prince, they were only a minority after all.

Even the imperial censor, who was persuaded by Wenfeng Shangzuo, didn't participate in the crown prince very much, and it was even more difficult for others to participate. The fire in Yuqing Palace passed away in such a silent way! ?

Except for the daughter of Zhen Gong who was punished to do hard labor in the Department of Punishment and accompany the original concubine An Gong, only the fifth prince was sent to Tantuo Temple to chant scriptures, and the others had no influence at all.

Not to mention that Emperor Pingkang secretly suspected whether his obedient fourth son had made friends with courtiers in private, even Tu Mingyu himself was greatly surprised, and couldn't help saying a few words to his staff in private.

Tu Mingyu naturally knew that the fire in Yuqing Palace had nothing to do with him, not to mention that he didn't have that connection, even if he did, he would definitely not be able to reach into that Yuqing Palace, but he was afraid that his father would have a brain twitch and put this matter away. The blame was on him. Seeing that this matter could pass without a sound, Tu Mingyu secretly rejoiced, and said it was very dangerous.

If he really bears the name of murdering his brother, I'm afraid that the throne will be farther and farther away from him.

But he really didn't understand, these years he really didn't dare to make friends with the courtiers, he really didn't know many people in the court, how could he pass this test so easily?

The staff frowned slightly, and said bluntly: "If you think about it, someone must help the prince."

If there is no one to help, this matter could not have passed so smoothly.

Tu Mingyu glanced helplessly at the staff, and he also guessed that someone helped in this matter, but who?

He has no one close to him in the court, his mother's family is not visible, let alone his adoptive mother's family, even if he wants to use his strength, he has nowhere to do so.

When Tu Mingyu said this, even the staff members were dumbfounded. Although he knew that the prince had never dared to make friends with courtiers, he really didn't expect the prince to be so obedient. He gave Tu Mingyu a strange look.

Seriously, is this really what a prince should do?Right now the prince is still the prince, but to put it bluntly, the sage is old and will pass away at any time. If the prince does not make some preparations in time, the prince will have no power in the court if the sage goes to Bintian. How can he take over the entire Great Jin Dynasty if he can't even recognize people?

Although the aides felt it was inappropriate, the prince always took the matter of abolishing the prince as an example, and he was timid everywhere, and the aides were not good at saying anything. Besides, the aides were not good at saying such words, and could only tactfully persuade him Said: "It's time for the prince to develop some contacts of his own, so that we won't be blind when we encounter problems, and can't even find a direction."

The new crown prince shook his head, "Father still refuses to let go of power, and I have no choice but to do this."

If his father didn't give it to him, he didn't dare to snatch it either.

The staff advised: "Perhaps the crown prince should take the initiative. I see that the majesty has become more and more lazy in political affairs over the years. If the crown prince takes the initiative to share the worries of the majesty, this is the way of filial piety."

He paused and said: "Don't look at the prince, there are many people in the court who still think about the abolished prince, not because the abolished prince did a lot of practical things in the court, and now everyone knows that the abolished prince Being deposed was wronged, if the crown prince continues to live comfortably, I'm afraid..."

After all, it is related to the future of the Great Jin Dynasty, if the crown prince doesn't show any more, I'm afraid even the emperor will have some thoughts of abolishing the crown prince.

Not only the staff, but even his personal eunuch Gao Ming persuaded him a few words, "Prince, I heard that the sage ordered Lin Ruhai to personally teach the emperor's grandson who was raised by the deposed prince, so it can be seen that he values ​​the little emperor's grandson. "

As the saying goes, the next generation of relatives, even the grandson of the next generation, the Holy One cared too much about the boy who was born of the deposed prince. Yan didn't even see him, so he was sent back. It would be bad if the sage had to follow his grandson and father.

Not to mention that Prince Abandoned is very popular in the court. If he rises to power, maybe most of the courtiers will support Prince Abandoned. It must be guarded against.

Gao Ming straightened his expression, "We can't be passive anymore."

From the overturning of the Zhen family and the abolished prince to the fire at Yuqing Palace, they just waited for each and every one of them, and never took the initiative to attack. As the saying goes, there are only thieves for a thousand days in this world. To guard against thieves, if they don't develop their own connections, they will be passive in everything, and sooner or later they will be dragged into the pit without knowing it.

Tu Mingyu was silent, he didn't say anything, but he took the words of his staff to persuade him, but he had become a habit of being a mascot in the court for so many years, how to grab an errand, he would not ah.

He sighed after a long time: "This job is so easy to grab."

There are six ministers in the court, so there is a division of labor. He doesn't usually walk in the six departments, so why should he grab a job? Besides, he is not the second brother. He was brought by his father since he was a child, and he has long been familiar with the affairs of the court. Yu Xin, to put it bluntly, if his father suddenly threw something at him, he still doesn't know what to do.

The staff and Gao Ming were amazed for a moment, no matter how clever they were, they would not be able to go to court, and they didn't know how to help the prince, so they could do nothing.

It is true that Tu Mingyu has moved a little bit, but there are some things that are not so easy to grab even if he has moved his mind.

Never thought that this opportunity would come so soon!

On the next day at the Great Court Meeting, the Liaoyang Mansion suddenly sent an urgent report that the Beirong people seemed to be invading on a large scale. Not only that, the embankments in Henan burst, and many counties and cities in Henan were suddenly flooded, asking the court for support!

Under the attack of internal and external troubles, Emperor Pingkang's figure swayed slightly, obviously also shocked.

Emperor Pingkang hurriedly said: "What's going on, tell me quickly!"

Over the years, Bei Rong hadn't aggressively attacked Da Jin for many years. How could it suddenly come to attack Liaoyang Mansion at this time?To put it bluntly, even if you want to attack Beirong, it shouldn't be in this season.

Autumn is the time when cattle and sheep grow fat, and it is also the breeding season for cattle and sheep. Its importance in Beirong is no less than that of spring farming in the Jin Dynasty. If Beirong people attacked Dajin at this time, they are not asking for trouble! ?

The messenger soldier said tremblingly: "My lord, the snow in Beirong this year is earlier than in previous years. There is not enough pasture in Beirong, and many cattle and sheep starve to death. The Beirong people..."

He said vaguely, and took it lightly. In fact, even he himself didn't understand that the snow fell early this year, but it wasn't too big, and it wasn't very cold. Normally, it shouldn't kill a lot of cattle and sheep. It is what caused the Beirong people to attack.

What's more, you must know that the north of Dajin is the land of Beirong, and the water plants in one place are gone, and they can be moved to another place. Why do you have to attack Dajin?

After thinking about it, the soldier felt a little puzzled, but the heads of the Beirong spies brought back by Mr. Wang were indeed genuine Beirong people. In addition, several sporadic battles broke out in the Liaoyang Mansion area. It can be seen that they gathered in Liaoyang There are more and more Beirong people in the mansion, and everyone dare not underestimate this matter, so they hurried to Beijing to report the matter.

The so-called three armies have not sent out food and grass first. If this matter is a false alarm, it will be nothing more than a false alarm. If the Beirong really invades on a large scale, the money and food must be in place before the war. Otherwise, everyone will not be full. Who has the strength to go? fight.

As for the breach of the dike in Henan, it was a real breach of the embankment. Water control is by no means a simple matter. The Jin Dynasty does not know how much tax revenue is spent on water control money every year, but the water control is not effective every year. The reason is very simple, because all the money fell into the pockets of moths on the river.

The money for water control is in the millions, millions of taels of white money, who would not be tempted, especially these years, the Holy One is kind, and he can't bear to punish the veterans. He always raises it high and then falls gently , Everyone is not in pain or itching, not to mention the muscles and bones are hurt, not even a few hairs are hurt.

After everyone understood it, the river moths became more careless, and their hands became darker and darker. In the past, at least [-]% of the money for water control could be implemented, but now it is not bad to have one achievement. If things go on like this, the river embankment will not No wonder.

Although the people from Henan Mansion knew it well, they didn't dare to say it clearly, and brought it over vaguely, only focusing on the disaster of the flood.

Emperor Pingkang also had no intention of investigating how the good embankment was destroyed, his face darkened, and he asked casually: "Is there anyone willing to share my worries?"

Beirong and water control are all major events, and none of them can be let go.

Seeing that the opportunity for an errand was right in front of him, Tu Mingyu immediately stood up and said hastily: "I am willing to share my father's worries!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Emperor Pingkang was overjoyed, and said three good words, and then asked: "What's the fourth brother's idea?"

Tu Mingyu was stunned, and subconsciously blurted out: "Whatever the father ordered, I will obey."

His forte is obedience, and now he is ready to carry it out to the end.

Emperor Pingkang: ...

Emperor Pingkang's face turned cold in an instant, and he rolled his dead fish eyes bluntly. If the fourth child was so obedient in the past, he might be happy for a while, but now is the time when he needs someone to do things. What is the use of my son?

He asked many questions again and again, but Tu Mingyu couldn't answer at all.

After all, Tu Mingyu stepped forward at that time because he was acting on a whim, and he didn't think about it at all. In addition, he had never participated in the affairs of the government, so he didn't understand many things. He really didn't know what to ask. He was immediately overwhelmed by Emperor Pingkang's question, and the entire court meeting fell silent for a while.

Embarrassment... embarrassment in all capitals.

Not only Tu Mingyu himself was embarrassed, but even Emperor Pingkang and the courtiers were very embarrassed. At this moment, even those who were not from the lineage of the abolished prince were missing the abolished prince.

Everyone can't help but put a big question mark on the future of the Great Jin Dynasty. To be honest, if the prince is really allowed to succeed, and such a waste sits on the throne, is it really a good thing?

In the end, Emperor Pingkang also took the fourth child without a yoke, and waved his hand bluntly to leave the court, and we will discuss it later.

In the past, obedience was the new crown prince's advantage, but now when he really needs people to do things, this obedience has become a major disadvantage.

The fourth son is not as talented as the abolished prince, and he usually doesn't show it. Once a major event occurs, the difference in ideas will be magnified. In general, everything is waiting for his orders.

In the past, when the fourth child was not established as the crown prince, the fourth child would still use his brain and think of a way when encountering problems. Even if this method is not the best, it is still some ideas, otherwise he would not have taken a fancy to this The fourth son whose mother's family is not obvious.

But after the fourth son had been a prince for many years and got used to being a mascot in the court, he was too lazy to think about it. Now that something happened, he had no other advice except to listen to his father's orders, which immediately disappointed Emperor Pingkang. pole.

The crown prince is the heir apparent of the country. With the ability of the fourth son, can he really take over the great Jin Dynasty?Even though the fourth child did not dare to get involved in the government affairs these years, at least he has never been absent from all the court meetings in the court all these years, so he shouldn't be such a noob.

Emperor Pingkang sighed: "It seems that I thought highly of the fourth child too much before."

Today's fourth child, to say that he is an idiot is too much to praise him.

Xia Dequan reluctantly comforted him: "The prince has never been in contact with political affairs, so..."

Halfway through, Xia Dequan couldn't continue. In fact, this is still to be blamed on the Holy Majesty himself. In all honesty, the fourth prince was able to be favored by the Holy Majesty and become a prince. Naturally, he had some ability, but these He was guarded against by the Holy Spirit for a year, and in the end he was completely defeated.

"Ah." Emperor Pingkang sighed helplessly, and ordered: "Let the prince go to Liubu for a walk, so you can't be blind."

"Yes." Xia Dequan hurriedly ordered.

"In addition," Emperor Pingkang pondered, "let someone order some of the treasury and my private treasury to see how much money is left in it."

Fighting wars and controlling floods are inseparable from money!

Emperor Pingkang immediately asked for an inventory of the state treasury and his private treasury. Ordinarily, it would take three to five or seven days to count the state treasury, and it would definitely not be completed. However, he did not expect that the eunuch sent by Xia Dequan to count the state treasury would come back within half a day. , and everyone has a bitter face, with a look of embarrassment.

Xia Dequan was also taken aback, and quickly asked: "But there are officials who don't have good eyesight to stop you?"

Seeing that the person he sent came back so quickly, Xia Dequan's first thought was that the person he sent was being made things difficult by the officials of the household department.

They are eunuchs, they can serve the Holy Majesty closely, many people envy them, but even more people look down on them, with his status, naturally no one dares to make things difficult for him, but the other eunuchs are different. Some grievances are common.

Xia Dequan's eyes were full of anger, and he said coldly: "Speak! Who dares to stop us from doing business?"

In the past, those officials looked at them with one eye, and looked differently when they turned their backs. He didn't bother to care about it, but this time it was different. They were serious about doing business for the Holy One, so how could those officials say no.

Since someone wants to die, he will fulfill them!

The two eunuchs who were sent by Xia Dequan to count the treasury still had a bitter face, and the young eunuch whose eyes were almost red, said in a trembling voice: "It's not that someone is blocking us from counting the treasury, but...but... ..."

He subconsciously looked at another eunuch, that eunuch also had a bitter face, and after a long time, he replied in a low voice: "It's not being made things difficult, but... but..."

The eunuch took a deep breath, finally mustered up the courage to reply: "There is nothing to order."

"Nothing to order?" Xia Dequan couldn't help frowning, "It's impossible, the autumn harvests in various places should be harvested one after another, let alone this year's summer harvest."

The eunuch said helplessly: "Part of the autumn harvest was harvested, but it was all borrowed. As for this year's summer harvest..." The eunuch bit the bullet and said, "It was also borrowed."

To put it bluntly, all the money collected from the treasury was borrowed before it was warmed up.
