Why are you so anxious?

Three days later, the old man of the Liu family was invited to have a banquet at Zhuangzi outside Hangzhou.Jun Shaoyou personally wrote a menu that fit the taste of the old man of the Liu family, and handed it over to the kitchen for preparation.On that day, the old man of the Liu family ate a special dish prepared by the chef of Yong'an Palace, and praised him again and again.

I don't know what the two of them talked about during the dinner, but after returning home, the old man of the Liu family no longer insisted that breaking ground to build a shipyard would ruin the feng shui of the Liu family's ancestors.On the other side, Jun Shaoyou also ordered the shipyard to withdraw three homes during the construction site.So you respect me, in the eyes of outsiders, there is a tacit tacit understanding.

Yan Song, who was busy preparing for the customs office, also noticed some tricks, but he woke up a little too late.After solving Jun Shaoyou's difficult public opinion achievements, the old man of the Liu family who turned his head immediately devoted all his energy to the competition for the interests of the customs office.The Liu family, which is bound to bite off a piece of fat in the matter of the customs office, has lost the softness and tenderness it had when confronting Jun Shaoyou. With the old man of the Liu family leading the way, all the Jiangnan aristocratic families are united and secretly instructing the people in the Jiangnan area. The big merchants monopolized the transactions of silk, salt tea, porcelain, spices and other goods in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and joined forces with large merchants with fleets in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to wait and see.

Without the support of goods from Dachu merchants, the foreign merchants brought goods but could not trade them, and the court could not collect trade taxes. The suddenly stagnant customs offices were piled up with countless official duties that could not be handled, and the chaotic market conditions It also made merchants accustomed to prosperous trade complain again and again.After the originally agreed upon establishment of the Customs Office, the promise of making it easier for merchants to communicate has not been fulfilled at all. Similarly, the military order was issued to Emperor Yongqian, and the goal of paying millions of taxes to the imperial court within a year also seems to be impossible to achieve. All kinds of troubles Yan Song, who has always been calm and self-sufficient, was devastated, while the confidants sent by the second prince Zhuang Zhou continued to pull his hind legs, desperate to win over the increasingly rampant Jiangnan family.

Yan Song, who was being restrained everywhere, only felt more and more aggrieved in his heart, secretly cursing the second prince as mud that could not support the wall.At the same time, he also began to covertly target those cheerful officials who were bouncing up and down in the Jiangnan officialdom.After the news reached the capital, Zhuang Zhou, who did not understand the complicated situation in the south of the Yangtze River, mistakenly believed that Yan Song had two ambitions.While angry, his movements became more restrained.

After all, Tianhuang Guihua, who has been soaked in palace fighting and seizing the throne for a long time, is not a stupid idiot after all. Although Zhuang Zhou, who immediately woke up, was dissatisfied with Yan Song's going his own way, he also understood that if he left the support of Yan's family, it would be impossible for him to get along with him. Zhuang Lin, whose wings are getting fuller day by day, competes for the top.

Consciously holding his breath, Zhuang Zhou secretly warned himself that a little intolerance would lead to great conspiracy, so he took the second concubine Zhao Mingxuan to Yan's house to plead guilty.On the other hand, the Yan family, which is based on nepotism marriages, also understands the reality that they and the second prince Zhuang Zhou will benefit from cooperation, and lose from separation.So the two parties immediately let go of their grievances, and made up peacefully on the surface.

But after this incident, there was a gap between the two parties in the bottom of their hearts.No matter how friendly they are on the surface, they will eventually produce two awkward characters in private.

The second prince Zhuang Zhou was frustrated again in the court, but the news of the eldest prince Zhuang Lin's unstoppable success in training the elite navy was spread to Gyeonggi again and again.For a while, Zhuang Zhou's mood faded, so he gave up his passion, and only lingered on the inner curtains, looking for pleasure.In the eyes of everyone, apart from shaking their heads and mourning their wrists and lamenting that the second prince's talents are ordinary, they are even more optimistic about the eldest prince Zhuang Lin who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River and serving the country loyally.

Suddenly, as spring went and autumn came, Chen Yuexi, the side concubine of the second prince's mansion, suddenly passed the good news and entered the palace.Emperor Yongqian, who was over half a hundred years old, looked at the congratulatory memorials to the royal heirs on the dragon case, and suddenly remembered that he was already a grandfather, and felt a little bit of a hero's belated sigh for a moment.But looking back, he was also relieved that his son had blossomed and grown into an adult.

As the so-called intergenerational relatives, Emperor Yongqian, who was his grandfather, did not actually have many opportunities to enjoy family happiness.Because the eldest son Zhuang Lin, who was supposed to have children, married a male concubine who did not lay eggs. Although the second son Zhuang Zhou was pregnant with children, the second concubine had just been diagnosed with pregnancy, and there were bandits and cholera among the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The baby was still a girl, so Emperor Yongqian didn't like it, so naturally he rarely invited her to tease her.After that, the third prince got married, and there was no news for this year.Now the second son came out with good news again, although it was only from a concubine, but it was better than nothing, Emperor Yonggan was very happy to reward many precious medicinal materials to the second prince's residence.

But in my heart, I couldn't help complaining secretly, my second son was not very capable, I didn't expect that the matter of the bed was unambiguous.It can be seen that everyone in the world has a skill, and if they can spread branches and leaves for the royal family and spread their descendants, it can be regarded as the second prince Zhuang Zhou's contribution to the country.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongqian shook his head with a smile, suppressed his disappointment with his second son again, and began to concentrate on handling government affairs.

On the other side, the second prince Zhuang Zhou, who became a father again, seemed to have grown up suddenly while being overjoyed.He no longer complained repeatedly about Emperor Yonggan's "eccentricity", and he no longer made various demeanor and tone, but instead devoted all his energy to the official affairs of the official department.Lower your posture and ask if you don't understand, and handle your official duties clumsily instead of shirking your responsibilities to others by relying on your status as a nobleman.Change the former impetuous and frivolous, everywhere win people's faults.

In addition to going to work in the court every day, when I go home, I will thank guests behind closed doors, take a bath and incense, copy the scriptures of filial piety, and pray for your majesty and queen.Occasionally enter the palace to accompany Shengjia, and do my best to be a filial son and grandson.

Emperor Yongqian saw it in his eyes, although he didn't know how long Zhuang Zhou's obedient and obedient behavior could last, but he was also pleased that his son had a heart of filial piety.Under Longyan's great joy, he often rewarded the second prince's residence with treasures.Even the hard-earned BMW that Fanbang paid tribute to and left to Wang Zhuanglin of Yong'an was given to Zhuang Zhou on a whim.

For a time, the second prince Zhuang Zhou was infinitely favored and unparalleled in the limelight, and the holy family was catching up with King Yong'an.A mother is more expensive than a child, and even the favor of the queen in the harem is rarely overshadowed by the concubine Chen.While the honorable ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were amazed, Zhuang Zhou's actions became more humble and low-key.After dismissing several batches of ministers who had expressed their loyalty openly and secretly, the impatient Zhuang Zhou once again closed the door to thank the guests on the grounds that the female family member was unwell.

At the same time, there were sudden rumors in Beijing, only saying that King Yong'an had practiced naval forces in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time.

Emperor Yongqian naturally smiled and let it go.He also reprimanded several censors who wrote admonitions one after another, fully showing his respect and trust for his eldest son.

It's just that Concubine Chen, who often watched the king's heart by Emperor Yonggan's pillow, still noticed the depression in Emperor Yonggan's heart.After quietly sending her natal family to Jiangnan for a secret message.However, for more than a month, Zhuang Lin, who was far away in Hangzhou, immediately expressed his desire to return to Beijing.

Emperor Yongqian, who was sitting comfortably on the dragon chair, smiled knowingly, swiped his pen, and continued to reprimand Zhuang Lin for being suspicious.He also warned him that he must do his job well and never let down the holy grace.

Zhuang Lin once again begged to return to the court, but Emperor Yonggan rejected it again.After repeating this over and over again, Emperor Yongqian finally granted Zhuang Lin's wish to return to court like a loving father who couldn't bear to force his child.Picking and choosing his own confidants to take over the more elite [-] navy.

So Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou started packing packages to return to Beijing.On the other side, Yan Song, who was still trapped in the mess of the customs office, had to ask Jun Shaoyou many times before he left.However, how could Jun Shaoyou, who couldn't hold back the water in his stomach at all, help Yan Song out of the predicament.Just by means of his city government, but he will not categorically reject Yan Song, thus leaving Yan Song with an excuse to stand on the sidelines and ignore the overall situation.If Yan Song shamelessly sued Emperor Yongqian again, even if Emperor Yonggan didn't reprimand Jun Shaoyou, he might still have the impression that Jun Shaoyou was too narrow-minded enough to take on great responsibilities in his heart.

Naturally, Jun Shaoyou would not do such a thing that was not worth the loss.So he gave Yan Song a lot of suggestions with a smile, each of which was a flimsy idea to cut off the flesh of Yan's family for the good of Chu, or to further put Yan Song in a dilemma.Yan Song hated so much that his teeth were itching, hesitating and not knowing what to do, and at the same time, he came to Jun Shaoyou for advice in a vicious circle.

Don't mention Jun Shaoyou and Zhuang Lin's simmering bad water and want to toss a good show, and don't mention how Yan Song is entangled in a dilemma.Let's say that Zhuang Lin has followed Jun Shaoyou's idea since he was training the Jiangnan navy, and has not tried his best to win over those high-ranking generals.Instead, under the appearance of equal treatment, they are trying their best to win over those middle-level and low-level school officials.After nearly two years of tossing so quietly, when the new governor of the navy sent by Emperor Yongqian handed over to Zhuang Lin, he was very satisfied to see that the top generals did not have too many traces of Zhuang Lin.After Mi Zuo quietly arrived in the capital, the benefit brought was that Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou's team was still on their way back to Beijing. Emperor Yongqian ordered to renovate the Yong'an Palace on the grounds that Zhuang Lin and his wife had worked hard.

Considering that Zhuang Lin had been staying in the army and didn't like to enjoy himself, although the original Yong'an Palace was highly regulated, it was not exquisite and comfortable.Therefore, Emperor Yonggan made a special decree and ordered the officials of the Ministry of Industry to carefully draw up a sketch to rectify the Yongan Palace. In addition to requiring exquisite and luxurious houses, Emperor Yonggan even ordered to introduce the living water of Lishan Hot Spring into Beijing, and finally entered the Yongan Palace. A new hot spring was created for Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou to recuperate.He also ordered and commanded the most exquisite flower craftsmen in the palace to cultivate the finest lotus and rebuild the pond in the back garden of Yong'an Prince's Mansion.It's only because Emperor Yongqian knew that Zhuang Lin's heart was attached to Jun Shaoyou, and everyone knew Jun Shaoyou's love for lotus.

Such a holy family and long favor naturally attracted the dumbfounded of all the officials.For a while, the rumors about the second prince being favored and the first prince falling out of favor disappeared.And when Jun Shaoyou, who had traveled all the way back to the capital, saw the lotus pond still in full bloom in late October in the back garden of the mansion, they couldn't help but have an illusion of "I'm very favored".
