The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

"By the way, Brother Huang, I still think of something! I just got back to Beijing yesterday, and I was blocked by the King of Beijing!" Situ Meng continued with a smirk on his face:

"Guess what? He actually came to me for help! The good daughter of Concubine Zhen's good daughter somehow moved our good aunt, the wife of Duke Li. King Jing was killed!

You said it was funny or not!We are helpless against kings with different surnames, but they are so capable, suck...

These women who come out of the palace really don't have a fuel-efficient lamp! "

"What?" The emperor didn't understand Situ Meng's meaning for a while, and asked, "Please explain clearly, what is going on?"

"Hehe, to put it simply, the daughter of Imperial Concubine Zhen has taken a fancy to Prince Jing Shui Rong, but she knows that it is impossible for her to marry a notorious man who is seven or eight years older than him, and who is notorious for forcing the death of the former concubine and raising the face. old woman!

So, together with Li Guogong's wife, he played a trick on King Beijing!On the surface, he was leading the red line between him and the lady of Duke Qi's mansion, but in fact, that lady was very proud, resolutely repented of the marriage, and participated in this draft, planning to become a part of your imperial brother's harem. member!

After retiring the engagement, Mrs. Li Guogong went to the Beijing Prince's Mansion again, and told about the princess's desire to marry him, which almost drove that kid Shui Rong to death!However, under the oppression of many parties, except for the princess, no one is willing or dare to marry their daughter to the Beijing Palace!

So, this kid Shui Rong had no choice but to beg me to help him, to help him ask for a favor from you, Brother Huang. "Speaking of this, Situ Meng showed a contemptuous smile on his face, and continued:

"At that time, his marriage with the Duke of Qi's mansion was accepted and asked about his name. When the marriage was about to be divorced, the King of Beijing was so angry that he returned a copy of the Geng Tie to the Duke of Qi's mansion, and kept the original! Originally, he planned to take this original document and beg the emperor to marry him to this young lady!

However, according to my understanding of those people, if he really did this, he might not get what he wanted, and he would even anger you, brother! "

"Well, this time I really let you talk!" The emperor nodded, and said: "Father has already told me before, and appointed this lady from the Duke of Qi's mansion to enter the harem! It seems that I am It's time to tell the queen, she must be suppressed!"

"Hehe, that's why I said it! Now the King of Beijing is in a dilemma, almost at the point of nowhere! What is the daughter of Concubine Zhen's daughter and what is her reputation in the capital, brother, you don't know?" Situ Meng pouted.

"Oh?" The emperor glanced at Situ Meng and asked, "Then you agreed to him? Brother, don't forget that he is a king with a different surname. If he really married the princess and became a son-in-law, it would be a great deal for the court." There's no harm in it!"

"It's not bad for the imperial court, but it's not good for you, brother! Moreover, although they are both kings with different surnames, this King of Beijing has already handed over his military power, and his whole family lives in the capital. , has been completely held in the palm of your hand by you, it is impossible to make any waves!

Why are you so petty!It's better to be more generous and help him choose a reliable concubine, so that Concubine Zhen and the others can't use any means.

Of course, it is also appropriate to let go in the court, give him some rights, let him be worthy of the name of the King of Beijing, not to mention being able to stir up wind and rain, at least he can have the power to protect himself in front of noble families and even two generations of princesses !

At the same time, we must vigorously publicize it so that everyone in the world knows that the imperial court has always been very generous and tolerant towards kings with different surnames.

If you want to withdraw from the domain in the future, it will be much smoother!If the other families dare to refuse to accept the order at that time, then it will be fair for us to send troops to conquer again!Everyone in the world will stand by our side! "Situ Meng spoke eloquently with a strong and confident smile on his face.

"Little brother, it seems that you have really grown up! You have gained a lot from this trip to the south of the Yangtze River! You have already been able to think so far! Brother Huang is really very pleased!"

The emperor looked at him sitting in front of him, although his face was still a bit immature, but he was already a very seasoned younger brother in life, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

"I'll leave this matter to you, Brother Emperor! When the time comes, you must choose a reliable family that you can absolutely trust! Although this water solution has surrendered to us, the monitoring methods that should be there still cannot be relaxed!" Situ Meng said with a face. Seriously.

"Don't worry! I know what's in my mind, so let's not talk about it! Let's talk about the matter that I called you back!" The emperor changed the subject.

"Well, yes! Brother Huang, you called me back in such a hurry, isn't it really because of the trivial matter of the draft?"

"This is only a part of it! I told the Supreme Emperor what you mean. Although he is not satisfied, he is willing to respect your decision and will not point you out forcibly!

However, the empress dowager seems to have other ideas, and you can only clarify this with her old man later!Otherwise, she thought it was Zhen and the queen who were deliberately restricting your development! "The emperor said lightly.

"Brother Huang, don't worry! I will personally explain to the Empress Dowager! I will never let you and the empress's sister-in-law take the blame for me!" Situ Meng assured, patting his chest.

"Well, I won't point out people for you, but if you are accidentally tricked by someone, then you have to do it yourself, and I won't care about it at that time!" The emperor said, with a playful look on his face. smile.

"Eh..." Situ Meng suddenly felt a chill behind him, and thought to himself, when he goes out from now on, he must be with Xiaotian no matter what, and he will never be separated!Don't let anyone take advantage of it!

"Okay, let's get down to business!" The emperor said, took out a huge map and put it on the table, pointed to several places, and said in a dignified tone:

"This is the country of Siam, this is the country of Zhenzhen, and this is the country of Qianxiang women. Although these countries are not too big, they have always been the vassal states of our Dayong Dynasty, but in recent years the tribute However, it keeps decreasing. Although it is said to be a natural and man-made disaster, I always feel that there is something tricky in it.

Moreover, these kings with different surnames were originally responsible for guarding the frontier. If they had any improper transactions or agreements with these small countries in private, it would definitely be a huge harm to my Dayong Dynasty!

In particular, if the imperial decree to withdraw the vassals comes out, they will directly unite with those small countries, and it will be a big trouble if it is not good for me!I sent a lot of spies to investigate this matter before, but so far they haven't found any useful news.

I know that the Reaper [-] team members trained by that girl of the Lin family are very proficient in detection and other things, so I urgently called you back!Originally, I wanted to tell her, but since you said that you can directly call the three hundred gods of death, then I will tell you the same!

This matter must be found out as soon as possible, it is related to the process of withdrawal! "The emperor said with a serious face and a dignified tone.

"Brother Huang, don't worry! I'll let them go as soon as I get back to this matter! I must find out as soon as possible! If they really dare to betray the imperial court, then there is no need for you to withdraw the order, Brother Huang. Just go and behead them!

As for their crimes, it won't be too late to announce them slowly after they are all dead! "Situ Meng shot two cold lights in his eyes, and said fiercely.

"It's not urgent, little brother, you must not be so reckless in your daily actions! Although you are doing well now, you have to know that there are people outside the mountain and there are people outside the mountain!

From the founding of the country to the present, these kings with different surnames have no idea how many cards they have in their hands. We must not act rashly and startle the snake!You know, now that the treasury is empty, it is not the time to start a dispute with them!

Sigh... The Supreme Emperor is still protecting those honorable veterans, but he doesn't know that this huge treasury is about to be emptied by these people he trusts the most! "The emperor said angrily.

"En? What's going on?" Situ Meng asked subconsciously.

"Hmph! I'm afraid you don't know about this!" The emperor paused, and continued: "A few years ago, when some old ministers went to the holy privately, the official uniforms they wore were old clothes that had been washed and turned white. Under the inquiry of the Supreme Emperor, he cried and complained about the disaster in his hometown, and he gave all his money to support the clansmen in his hometown, that's why it happened!

After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor said great goodness, and then announced at the court that ministers who were short of money and not enough turnover could borrow silver from the treasury!

However, as soon as this opening was opened, all the ministers and nobles, as if they were asked about bloody sharks, no matter whether they were really short of money or not, they frantically borrowed money from the treasury!However, the past few years have passed, but no one wants to return it at all.

This procrastination has been delayed, and now, almost all the deposits in the treasury have been moved to their homes by the officials!If you hadn't raided the private salt den last time and seized a lot of dirty money, as well as the fines paid by the Shen family and the Xue family, I'm afraid this treasury would have been empty long ago! "

Speaking of this, the anger in the emperor's eyes could hardly be suppressed.

"In that case, why didn't you order them to pay back the debt, brother?" Situ Meng asked puzzled, "Even if the Supreme Emperor knows the current situation of the treasury, he won't disagree with it!"

"Hehe..." The emperor sneered, and said: "The emperor! He borrowed money from abroad and won the praise of civil and military officials in the court. How can he get rid of this face and ask for it now! As long as I mention this matter , he will definitely talk about him from left to right, and will not pick up on him at all!

In the past, I let people just let out the rumor of recovering the owed money in the court, which attracted many veterans and nobles to jointly sign up and ask for a booklet to come to the Supreme Emperor!This matter can only be left alone temporarily.

This time in the matter of the draft, they deliberately held on to your marriage. I am afraid it has something to do with the matter of recovering the owed money! "

"Eh..." Situ Meng lay down on the table speechlessly, and said gloomily, "Brother Emperor, do I think it's a disaster for me this time!"

"Hehe!" The emperor smiled, patted Situ Meng's head, and said, "This is not a random disaster! Because, if you really want to fully recover the owed money, you must be the most suitable candidate!

After all, if the general official status is not enough, it must be impossible to suppress it!You know, among all the people who owe money, the most are your brothers!These ministers and nobles must have thought of it, so they tried every means to marry you! "

"Ahh! Why am I so unlucky! Really, even if you want to be quiet and quiet!" Situ Meng said a little madly.

"Hehe, this is the price of growth! The responsibility you, a prince, must bear!" the emperor said earnestly.
