All-round way to money

"Fu Jin is careful."

Before Xiao Nian Gao came to her, Chu Ran shook her body and supported her head, while Mei Xiang stepped forward behind her to support her.

"The Empress Dowager's concubine, the child was crying in the morning, and entered the palace without breakfast, and now I feel a little dizzy..." Chu Ran held Mei Xiang's hand, pleaded guilty to the Empress Dowager, and did not look at the rice cake.

The old queen has lived in the harem all her life, can she not see the tricks of the little rice cake?As for who in this palace doesn't like small rice cakes the most, maybe the empress has to sit in the back row, and the empress dowager is the one who can't even hear the word New Year.Nian Gengyao became the general of Fuyuan and took the position of fourteenth. The queen mother would not say that it was the emperor's order, but blamed the emperor.Therefore, Xiao Nian Gao met Chu Ran, and she was very happy to help Chu Ran.

The queen mother immediately said to Mei Xiang, "Help your master to the side hall to rest for a while." Turning around, she told the nurse next to her, "Go and see what we have to eat here, let her make a cushion first. I see, She is also a fuss, day by day, Zhang Luo this, Zhang Luo that, so busy that her feet don't stick to the ground. She is a Fujin, she has a style, she is good, walking around the pot, and fainted from hunger Oh, how long have you seen a cook who died of starvation? He is not a solid-minded person, and he will not even be greedy if he stutters."

Chu Ran was still in a daze, "Yes, yes, Empress Dowager, I'm the stupidest one. You refused to pass on your aura to me. I always favor yours. Sons, I’m afraid that I will learn to bully your son. I don’t count on it anymore, just reward me with two mouthfuls of your spirit fruit elixir, I can’t bear it anymore.”

From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word to Xiao Nian Gao, he just saluted in vain and went to the side hall.

"Why did you do it so obviously? Anyway, give her three points of face, and only look at the emperor. I can bear it, why are you angry with her? Don't make Thirteenth Brother suffer too much."

Looking back, in Zhongcui Palace, the Queen held Chu Ran's hand and called her.Some people don't give Xiao Nian Gao face, of course she is happy in her heart.But it was because of his good relationship with Chu Ran that he persuaded him.

Nian Gengyao's temper wasn't just the result of the emperor's habit, it was more or less common among his brothers and sisters.Xiao Nian Gao is not in good health, so the emperor has only lived with her for ten years, and no one has given birth to a child except her, and he would not salute the queen if he wanted to.Another son is raised by her side, and the mother's family is strong, which makes the queen difficult to control.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I have no rules. As you can see, she was the one who provoked me first, and I'm not afraid of her. Besides, Nian Gengyao, a servant, relied on the emperor's favor, so arrogant that he didn't know how high the sky was and how thick the earth was." Yes, those things sent to our house, his salary will not be able to earn for several lifetimes. The prince is at home every day, can't eat well, can't sleep well, thinking about earning money to fight for him. He really has money to give gifts everywhere. Concubine Nian That head face is very expensive, not to mention restrained..."

Chu Ran took the opportunity to make a small report.

The queen smiled, "What's the use of telling me, we women in the back house can't go to the front line to fight, and we can't make any contribution. Even that one, I can't tell..."

"You, it's just that you have a good temper. Isn't it good jewelry? Just wait, I will make some for you later, and I promise to be several times better than her."

"Nonsense, getting more and more unruly, and dare to provoke the queen to fight for wealth with the imperial concubine? Is it plausible? The emperor is advocating thrift, so don't come here to harm me."

"What are you fighting for? You are the queen and the mother of a country. No one deserves to compare with you. It is not uncommon to fight with her. Just look at it."

This actually made the queen a little curious.

In fact, Chu Ran still wanted to take this opportunity to push out the emeralds and diamonds, and make money by relying on the signboard of the queen mother and queen in the palace.

Isn't this what the emperor has been doing to steal money to earn military expenses?In the previous dynasty, Mr. Xiao was fooling the emperor to open the sea and ban international trade.It just so happened that the people from Thirteen Lines sent in some rough diamonds in various colors during the Chinese New Year.There are also people from Burma who brought some emeralds as tribute, all of which are good water species.At this time, emeralds are worthless.It is the price of ordinary jade.If the emperor doesn't like it, Mr. Xiao will go back to Chu Ran.In the past six months, the people in Zhenzhen Workshop have kept a lot of rough diamonds and emeralds.After Thirteenth Master became Prince Yi, many people voted for him.More and more people know that Zhenzhifang is opened by their own family members.It's very simple to collect something.

In order to make the new jewelry look reasonable, after Chu Ran returned to the mansion, he found the treasurer of the treasure workshop and brought many craftsmen to study the new style together. Mr. Xiao also transferred all the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs Office to help in the mansion.The emperor also trained him and indulged in having fun.Knowing that he was looking for someone to make jewelry for Fujin, he was good at pointing at him for a long time, but he didn't say a word.Thirteen Fujin has been imprisoned with Thirteenth Master for ten years, after all, he is different from others, he can't just scold others casually.

There are many skilled craftsmen in the palace, and the style can be as exquisite as possible. What Chu Ran has to do is to let them make emeralds and diamonds into flowers.Especially the polishing of diamonds, if the polishing is not good, it will affect the brightness.

If you are busy with something, the time is easy to kill.

You don't have to go to the palace to hide and relax, you don't have to see anyone in the mansion if you don't want to.

Compared with her, Mr. Xiao is really busy.

Fourth master is a workaholic, even the people who follow him are forced to be workaholics.If he doesn't take a good rest, the ministers will have to follow suit.Well, this matter cannot be changed in a day or two. The war in the Northwest is really important, and the bureaucratic system has reached the point where it cannot be changed. There are also officials' corruption, which is intricate. , It is indeed a lot of things.

"By the way, I've been dizzy from work these days, so I haven't asked you. How did you convince Shisi to be obedient and obedient to go to the Northeast to farm?" The couple rarely had time to have dinner together at home. Chu Ran just remembered to ask about the northeast rice sent by someone, how did he manage to deal with such a brat.

"I didn't say much. I just borrowed the emperor's place, invited him to a meal, and broke the matter with him to let him know that the former emperor asked him to be the general king, not the prince."

Mr. Xiao said, recalling that day, Fourteen's performance, he shook his head, he was so bearish, he still wanted to be the emperor?Overwhelmed stuff.

That day, Fourteen entered the palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. He didn't want to guard the mausoleum, and he was still thinking about his great general. He was on duty, and the old queen was so angry that she fainted. The emperor was so angry that he wanted to get serious with Fourteen.He went up to stop him, which really moved him, that is to kill the old lady, and then the fourth master can be accused of forcing his mother to death outside.So, he borrowed the emperor's place and invited Shisi to eat hot pot, just the three of them.

He asked Fourteen, "Emperor Ama didn't go there suddenly. After October, she hasn't been to court. There is one man in the capital who counts as one. You can ask, who doesn't know that the emperor is dead. He can tell the funeral. Everything is arranged so that the capital can be stabilized. Let me ask you, if the old man really wants to pass the throne to your old fourteenth, why didn't he transfer you back to Beijing? Instead, he let you go outside and let people have a chance Snatched the throne? What do you think? At the beginning, Huang Ama was sober and passed the throne to the fourth brother himself. There were all the princes present, as well as the ministers in the study, eunuchs, and guards. They are all alive and well, you Where did you hear that it was going to be passed on to you?"

Shisi poked his neck, "Then why did you have people surround Changchun Garden? Why did you restrict everyone's freedom? Why did you let Nian Gengyao control my food and grass, and let people escort me back to Beijing? What are you afraid of? "

"You have to ask your good starling about this. Use your brain, the transition to the throne, stability is above all else. The more chaotic you are, the more you can take advantage of the will of the chaotic ministers and thieves. Of course you must be stable if the name is right and proper. How high is the emperor's funeral? The precautions of the specifications are all due. As for the treatment of you, don't be lazy on the fourth brother's head, that is my order, and I can also tell you directly, I just hate you for being too foolish, others say What is what, to fool you, you dare to lead the army to rebel. What do you mean by escorting you back to Beijing? Are you put in shackles, or put in a prison car? Or do you mean that you don’t want to go back to Beijing for the funeral? In case you have someone on the way Anyway, do you have to rely on the fourth brother? You can't even distinguish between protection and escort, and you still want to be the throne? Just you?" He shook his head while talking, looking down on him.That expression, as annoying as it is, fourth master is on the side, without saying a word, before seeing Shisi's bear look, he was so angry that he wanted to kill him, now, look at Thirteen I hate him, watching with gusto, silently eating the pot and watching the show, I feel that the taste of the pot is extraordinarily delicious.

Fourteen's temper couldn't bear Mr. Xiao's expression, and he slapped the table, "Old Shisan, don't pretend to be a wolf with a big tail here, why do you teach me? You are not someone else's dog, I am so foolish I can’t believe you because I’m not easy to fool you. The knife is in your hands, of course you don’t know what to say. You are the prince now, of course you speak for him. Huang Ama has imprisoned you for ten years. Can you know Huang Ama? How did Ma arrange it?"

The table made him tremble, and the pot was almost overturned. Fourth Master put it on the chopsticks and scolded him: "Can you be a little more behaved?"

Mr. Xiao comforted Fourth Master, then turned back and said Fourteen: "You can be fooled by saying that you are a stick. After such a long time, no one told you that Huang Ama was by my side for the last half month? And..." Mr. Xiao called out the names of more than a dozen people, "Are these people you can trust? They also met the late emperor and heard the last words of the late emperor at that time. Ask them, I said Is it true? Tell me, what does it mean that the first emperor let me out at the last moment? I think my old thirteen and your old fourteen had a life-long friendship, so that we can keep the capital stable and guard the emperor's coffin to wait for you Come back to inherit the throne?"

Fourteen remembered that those words flickered in front of him. When he asked who the emperor passed on to in the end, they all said they were too sad and could not hear clearly. I don't know if it's four or fourteen.It also expressly and implicitly said that the imperial edict was false.Someone also told him that the Thirteenth Army surrounded Changchun Garden at that time.But no one had ever mentioned to him that Shisan had been with the old man in Changchun Garden for a long time.If the thirteenth was released early and the troops could be dispatched, wouldn't the former emperor mean to let the fourth son succeed him?Who doesn't know that the thirteenth and the fourth child are in the same group.No matter what happens, they will not turn towards him.

"Then who knows if you have fooled the old man. You stole the military seal." Fourteen was not so confident anymore, but he still didn't want to admit that he was a coward, let others use him as a gun, and forced his resignation.

Mr. Xiao just laughed, "I don't have that great ability to fool the old man. Do you think I can?"

That is definitely not possible.

No matter how stupid Shisi is, he can't say that Mr. Kangxi is easy to fool.

Mr. Xiao continued to call out some names, "Let me ask you again, if you succeed these people, what will you do?" There are ministers in the study room, ministers, generals, and even princes with iron hats.

"What should I do? These are court officials, capable ministers and officials, what are they going to do?" Fourteen was stunned. Some of these people were familiar to him, and he knew they belonged to them. have no idea.

"Can you be a minister or an official? Then look at these again." Mr. Xiao took out another list, which listed in detail the crimes of those people, the evidence of corruption and breaking the law.

Fourteen finished reading it, and it can't be said that it was all fake. Some of the evidence is that he is the handler and participant. After reading it now, he unconsciously feels guilty. "How do you know such details?"

But I thought in my heart, power is really important, with power, all resources are available, and such secret things can be found out.

"You are also an expert. Whether these things can be found out in a short time, you know it. It was not done by me, nor by the fourth brother, but by the late emperor."

ah? "Why didn't Huang Ama deal with them?"

"Because Huang Ama's health is not good and his energy is low, he needs stability, a smooth transition to the throne, and let the new emperor deal with it. Huang Ama's original words are that he has found a master who is strong and can't take away his aspirations for the world. .Do you understand what it means?"

When he said this, fourth master was stunned, because he didn't even know what he said.But when Shisan said this, his eyes turned red, "Old Shisan, did Huang Ama really say that?"

Seeing him like this, Shisi is even more confused than him, what's the matter?You don't even know?Turn around and look at Old Thirteen, you didn't make it up, did you?Is the gall too fat?

"That's right. This is what I told the minister of the study and the iron hat princes."

Since Si Ye came to the throne, let's not talk about the difficulties he has suffered. He plays tricks on people every day, and has to deal with all kinds of blackmail. , but how many are sincere?Besides, the affirmation of the courtiers is not as important as the affirmation of the former emperor.Hearing this, tears came down, not wanting to be seen by others, lying on the table, crying so hard that his shoulders shook.

This can be regarded as showing his vulnerable side in front of Fourteen.

Fourteen felt uncomfortable, and finally sat down, "Then why do you still keep these people?"

"Don't you have to do things step by step? If you won the battle in the northwest, would you still have to make such an effort? You also studied with the masters in the South Study Room for more than ten years, and you were also educated by Huang Ama. Go back and think about who is working hard for the country of the Qing Dynasty, and who is pulling it into his own pocket. Huang Ama's holy candle is illuminated, and he can clearly see it."

Fourteen stopped talking, the eighth master and the ninth master are so rich, where is all the money in the south of the Yangtze River, he is too rich.At this moment, what he was thinking in his heart was, if he sat on the throne, would he be able to watch Master Jiu become the richest man in the world?Thinking about it from another angle, the things they did are untenable.

Afterwards, Mr. Xiao didn't say anything more, the three brothers finished their meal of hot pot quietly, and Shisi went back to guard the mausoleum honestly.When the emperor ordered him to farm the land again, he accepted the order honestly.The eighth master, the ninth master and the tenth master saw him off, saying that the emperor had assigned him in disguise, but he didn't say a word.

There are still other rewards from this hot pot meal. The fourth master looks at the thirteenth master. No matter how you look at it, it is good, no matter how pampered you are, it seems that it is not enough.He had to leave two petals for his thirteenth brother even if he thought it was sweet to eat an orange. Give the cook, I have to make people fatter.Regarding the opinions raised by his thirteenth brother, he was even more obedient, saying what he said.The servants who served in Qianqing Palace all knew that if the emperor didn't eat at that time, if he didn't take the medicine he should take, or if he couldn't be persuaded by something, he would go to the Thirteenth Lord, that would be good use. "Listen to your thirteenth master." It has almost become the emperor's mantra.

Without this kind of favor, Mr. Xiao couldn't casually ask for all the craftsmen in the manufacturing office.

In the fourth master's heart, of course the thirteenth master is good at everything.That's right, I always have reservations about government affairs.Moreover, he didn't like Longkodo, let alone Nian Gengyao, so he didn't make trouble, but when it came to matters related to them, he didn't speak.Most of the affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are related to these two people, one is the minister of the study room, and the other is the general.Thirteen didn't speak, and he felt awkward, feeling that his thirteenth brother still didn't trust him, thinking that he would favor others instead of his thirteenth brother.

Could Mr. Xiao know what he was thinking? The more he knew, the more he had to be measured. How could that person be so easy to coax.

"Hey, you two are about to fall in love, you're so tired. You're full of love." Chu Ran looked at Fourth Master and Thirteenth Master, who were tired and crooked, and almost lost sight of them.

Mr. Xiao was angry, "What do you pretend to be in your head every day? Aren't you and your girlfriend taking a shower together, feeding each other and sleeping under the covers? Are you Ji Qing?"

"Then we are not best friends."

"Then we are not brothers."

All right, all right, "Did you take a bath together? Feed each other? Sleep under the quilt?"

What does this all say?Mr. Xiao picked up the handkerchief at hand and threw it into Chu Ran's arms.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, new people forget old ones, domestic violence, domestic violence..."

Chu Ran yelled in a hypocritical manner, arguing with Mr. Xiao.

But I still can't understand the brotherhood.But what Mr. Xiao said is right, we can only look at it by comparing the relationship between her and her best friend.

However, she also felt vaguely in her heart that Mr. Xiao, with his identity as the thirteenth master, was able to coax the fourth master so happily and get on well with the fourth master, probably because of some sympathy for each other.If he didn't appreciate fourth master, he couldn't be so coaxing.After so many lifetimes, there are not many people who can coax him like that.

Is this also the same as her sister Lin, with a fan filter?She also felt in her heart that fourth master was worth it!

After working hard for two months, Chu Ran made four sets of diamond headgear, four sets of emerald jewelry, and four sets of colored diamond jewelry.Bring it into the palace.

"It can be regarded as coming. I sent people to the front to ask the thirteenth brother how many times, and they all said that they are busy making jewelry in the mansion. Is this okay?" The queen pulled him up and sat on the table holding Chu Ran's hand. Go to the edge of the kang and talk to her.

"Come on, come on. This is just for your review."

Only then did he bring the jewelry box over and open it for the queen to see.

"Oh, this is a diamond? It's rare to polish it so brightly." While talking, he picked up the bracelet inlaid with gold thread and colored diamonds, and the more he looked at it, the more exquisite and beautiful it seemed. "It's hard for you to polish this thing so well. In the early years, the disciples in the mansion also gave some, and they were ground for two yuan, but it's not as good as this. They pondered for a long time, and what they made is what I see. It’s not pleasing to the eye. This is really pretty.”

The point is, this diamond is not a valuable thing, it is only considered as a rare thing, and it is okay to look fresh.The gold thread was drawn thinner than a hair, and the bracelet that was entangled looked big, but there was not much gold in it.Not throwing a fee at all.

"Look at these sets of emeralds again, how do you like them? I chose the most transparent and most solemn colors, do you think the Queen Mother will like them?" Then I put a few sets of emerald ice jade bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings, etc. The whole set of jewelry was shown to the queen.

The jewelry is all placed in a black velvet box, polished to a radiant brilliance, and they are all styles designed by Chu Ran's taste accumulated over many lifetimes.

"Oh, this is really beautiful. I like white jade, and I rarely wear jade. If there is such a kind, it looks very good. Let's go and show it to the Queen Mother. Her old man loves jade the most. Definitely like it."

I don't like it.

What matters is not what it is, it depends on who sent it.

One of the four concubines who has been in charge of palace affairs for decades is the queen mother again. I have never seen anything good.It's just an occasion to praise Chu Ran.Of course, things are also like.

"Tomorrow is the Longevity Day, so I'll wear this outfit." The queen mother was very generous.

Of course the queen had to keep up, and she not only said that, but also wore the diamond jewelry that Churan had just given her to attend.

Didn't Chu Ran achieve his goal?

Back in the mansion, let people hurry up and make diamond and emerald jewelry.As long as you don't use the standard in the palace.

Longevity is the emperor's birthday.No matter how much frugality is emphasized, there must be a simple etiquette, and the gifts that should be given must be given.

The gift Prince Yi gave his fourth brother was the blueprint of the cannon.

The fourth master felt as if he had found a treasure, "With this thing, the battle in the Northwest will be easier to fight."

Yes, the battle is easy to fight.But after winning the battle, how to deal with Nian Gengyao will be the biggest problem in the future.

At the beginning of the second year of Yongzheng, Mr. Xiao gave Siye another stack of bank notes, totaling 300 million taels.

"What is this? Who bribed you with money?" Fourth Master didn't understand what he meant.

"It's the money earned by Zhenzhifang in the past few months. Half of the jewelry that Fujin had prepared earlier was bought by the rich and powerful in the capital, and the other half went to the rich and powerful in the south of the Yangtze River. A small half was bought by the rich and powerful from abroad. The merchants bought it at a high price. The jewelry worn by these oriental nobles can fetch a lot of money in Europa, so they are willing to pay a high price to buy it. If you take a few pieces home, you can earn half a lifetime of expenses."

"Is the sea trade so profitable?" The fourth master has always supported the forbidden sea. In this regard, he inherited his father.

Isn't this poor? Now he is too short of money, so he can only choose the lesser of two evils.

"It's big and small, I still have to try it to know. The younger brother has some ideas and has drawn up a statement. The emperor has a look?"

"If you want to try it, let someone try it. Why don't you write a report."

Is it possible to try it, and he can't let it go?

"I don't dare to specialize in such important matters. The emperor should take a look."

Of course the emperor has to watch it, what can he say after watching it, the words are still the same, "You just watch the arrangement."

Then arrange it, report it, and that's it.

"Your Majesty, these are the brochures just sent by the courtiers..." Su Peisheng sent in a lot of brochures.

"Leave it alone, I will approve it in a while, and invite the minister of the study to discuss the matter in the Hall of Mental Cultivation." The fourth master pointed to the kang table and asked Su Peisheng to put down the paperwork, and he sat down cross-legged on the kang to start working. Those silver bills, "Take these back, no matter how poor I am, I won't spend the money you earned from Fujin." What he didn't say was that if he didn't take it back, his thirteenth brother wouldn't be able to take it easy. Woolen cloth.

"Your Majesty, combining work and rest is the right thing to do. No matter how many things you have to do, you should rest as well. If you are exhausted, what can you do?"

"I know, I know. I will rest after approving these."

"Didn't you call the minister to discuss the matter?"

Fourth Master:  …

Can you do me a favor?

"Anyway, let's rest for a while. Fujin entered the palace yesterday and brought a pot of assorted vegetables. I ate well, but the soup base was not easy to hang. It took a day and a night. I guess it should be delicious now. Su Peisheng, send the emperor to the bell Let's go to the palace, let's eat first." After muttering, he went up and went straight to work, snatched the pen, and packed up the notebooks.

Su Peisheng is so clever, he helped the fourth master put on his shoes when he came up, and then he did it himself. Together with the two young eunuchs who came in, he half-supported and half-carried him, he insisted on helping the fourth master out of the door, onto the shoulder chariot, and forcibly carried him away up.

"You can come together too." Fourth Master didn't struggle too much, and finally called on Thirteen to go to the Queen's Palace together.The older sister-in-law has nothing to hide.

When it came to the empress, seeing the emperor being carried in, she still looked awkward and startled. Su Peisheng replied in a low voice, only to realize that it was brought here by force. Holding back a smile, she told Shisan, "You should let Thirteenth Brother take care of it like this, otherwise, even a strong man can't stand the emperor's way of cooking. I thank Thirteenth Brother here." He even made a gesture to salute Thirteen.

Mr. Xiao avoided the empress's gift, and returned with another salute, "Come to rub the emperor's wife's delicious food again."

Don't mention anything thank you, just say food.

"Okay, okay, if you can take the emperor to eat every day, you can order, there are all kinds of delicious food."

The fourth master made the two chanting, chanting, and fighting lose their temper, so he said to the queen, "You are becoming more and more casual." There were many upright people in the past, and since the old thirteen's old man came to the palace to accompany him Looking at the queen, the queen has become a lot more lively.He is much more popular than that person before.

It's an old couple's life, and the queen has 13 couples who help both openly and secretly, so she is not afraid of anything, and she doesn't have to seek anything.Of course, how to live comfortably.

Because there are too many papers, it seems that they can't be finished, and the thirteenth master is strict, just like the old lady, and let him rest when the time comes, the fourth master has no choice.Ask him to set up the Military Aircraft Department, add a lot of military aircraft chapters, filter and classify layer by layer, and then classify according to the degree of urgency and importance. First, let the military aircraft ministers go through it first. The thirteenth master will handle the level, and the emperor will handle it at any level.

In fact, there has always been such a process before, but it was not so detailed. Mr. Xiao was the Emperor Qianlong, and the prodigal son had to say that he arranged the work in a very detailed way, divided a lot, and could always keep the money. Power is firmly in the hands, and it is not without advantages.What's more, he has been the president and boss, those special assistants, the secretariat, all have reference value.Besides, when he was studying time and space, he also served as a very high-level leader several times. In modern society, there are many things, which are far from being comparable at this time.That would be more valuable.

Once arranged, it will be much easier.But fourth master, he can't trust others. He is quite relieved of the papers that the thirteenth master has dealt with, but he has to review the paperwork that the military ministers have dealt with. Sometimes he feels dissatisfied, and he has to If it is changed, it has to be reconsidered.The workload is reduced to a limited extent.

No one is available.

"Give Enke, such a big Qing Dynasty, there are plenty of talents."

There is no need for anyone to suggest this, Xindi Deng basically knows how to open Enke.

In this case, Enke has to be busy with other things on the basis of the original war.I can't even take a good rest.

Chu Ran came into the palace with new clothes and jewelry to show the queen this day, and came to give dried yogurt by the way.The sons were studying in the palace, and Chu Ran was afraid that the rules in the palace were strict, and if there was no extra meal, they would be hungry between classes, so they boiled dried yogurt for them, and asked the waiters around them to add dried fruit and brew them in hot water for extra meals.The little princes were rushing to eat it, causing the palace to know that the Empress Dowager also liked the sour-sweet taste as she got older.The Queen likes it too.Even the emperor, who doesn't like sweets, only drinks a bowl of yogurt a day.Therefore, Chu Ran will go to the palace to send her off every once in a while.This kind of thing that all the masters in the palace have imported, I dare not let others pass it on.

In fact, they all like to eat, which is normal.The yogurt boiled with diluted spirit rain water is dry, can it taste bad?

"Go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Are the emperor and the thirteenth master busy yet? I have tofu skin buns today. Can I ask the emperor and the thirteenth master if they can come?" The queen saw that it was past noon, and Su Peisheng hadn't Come to pick up the meal, let people ask.Usually, when Thirteen Fujin enters the palace, they all know that there will be delicious food. Su Peisheng always comes to pick up the food early, even if the emperor doesn't order it, the Thirteenth Master will also order it.It's weird today, I haven't come yet.

The eunuch next to him ran out to ask, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, he ran back with a face full of indescribable words, "What's the matter, tell me quickly." Seeing that he hesitated to speak, the queen asked him.

"...Master Thirteen is angry, and the emperor is coaxing him..."

what?

What does this say?

Chu Ran was shocked.

I exchanged glances with the queen, not knowing what the fuss was about.

The queen was stunned for a moment, but she didn't think much about it, and then asked, "Because of what?"

The little eunuch couldn't tell, but Su Peisheng just came over, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"The emperor got up in the middle of the night last night to critique papers. He didn't sleep all night. He was a little bit windy this morning and coughed a few times. When Lord Thirteen came, the medicine had cooled down before he had time to drink it. The slave didn't dare to hide it. Thirteen The Lord became angry. He went back to the military plane and lay down in the inner room. He said he was tired and didn’t read the papers. He sent them to the emperor. He said that the emperor was full of energy and he couldn’t match him. After writing a letter of guarantee, he promised that he would not secretly get up in the middle of the night to review papers. Only then did the Thirteenth Lord get up and say that he was hungry, so he asked his servants to fetch food. The emperor said that the Thirteenth Lord forgave him, and he was very happy, and he wanted to treat the military ministers to dinner. Let the queen and Fujin help prepare."

……

Chu Ran didn't know what to say.She felt that she still had to learn Mr. Xiao's method.Fortunately, he is not a woman, if this is a woman, he is the kind of enchantress who will bring disaster to the country.Being an emperor's younger brother can control the emperor, that's awesome.

After listening to Su Peisheng's words, the queen couldn't help but smile, "Okay, you take the food from the emperor and the thirteenth master first. After a while, Shisan Fujin and I will prepare the meals carefully and send them over."

After sending him away, he took Chu Ran's hand and smiled, "It's not easy for you to grind with him every day."

No one can compare to this method of fighting for favor.

Anyway, the fourth master was taken care of by others, and the fourth master only thought he was good.

When the cannon was transported to the northwest, it was handed over to Nian Gengyao, and the battle was quickly resolved. The emperor ordered Nian Gengyao to go to Beijing to receive the reward, and the northwest military affairs were temporarily handed over to Yue Zhongqi as an agent.When Nian Gengyao came to Beijing, it happened that Enke was about to start the exam, and the candidates who were rushing for the exam gathered on both sides of the street to watch the battle of the general entering Beijing.It was also the emperor's intention to show his strength to the disciples.

His heart is good, and the formation is indeed big enough.But Nian Gengyao didn't know how to hold a prize. He won a battle, and if he held it again, everyone would be lost.There was a celebration banquet in the palace, and Chu Ran also attended it, so it was still there. The first emperor’s filial piety period has not yet passed, Xiao Nian Gao is wearing a rose red palace dress, and the jewelry on his body is full of rubies. The way she doesn't see the Queen in her eyes.He hugged the little elder brother without letting go, and held a little fan in his arms all the time, showing to everyone that he was the general's nephew and the emperor's most beloved son.

With their mother and son compared like this, the other three elder brothers looked very low-key.The third elder brother is a little ostentatious, with the air of the eldest son of the emperor, but not too much.The fourth elder brother is suave and suave, he is a social expert, he can talk to anyone, and he has a good conversation.The fifth elder brother is just like a naughty kid, he is joking with everyone, and he has no business.It was still the same as in Chu Ran's distant memory.

Nian Gengyao's achievements in the previous dynasty were even more limitless, Chu Ran heard Mr. Xiao come back and said.It's like watching a big show.He thought that he could calm down a bit in the battle won by relying on the advantage of firearms, and it didn't depend entirely on his ability to lead the army, so what's so great.In the end, he still underestimated his arrogance.

"If the emperor really wanted to protect him, why didn't he just transfer him to the military aircraft department while he was back in Beijing?" After being promoted to a prime minister, he also took over the military power, so he couldn't make trouble anymore.

"That also depends on his willingness to live the life of a minister of military aircraft. You don't know, people are in the northwest, eating is called Chuanshan, and sleeping women have to flip their cards. A meal costs thousands of taels of silver. The emperor doesn't have a big show. The sky is high The emperor is far away, outside, he is the king of the Northwest. Back in the capital, how can he make such a big deal." Mr. Xiao snorted and laughed.

"Isn't that too much?" Can the emperor bear it?

"So, in fact, the emperor is easy to coax. He has done that, and the emperor still doesn't want to let him down."

All right, all right, you have no means, you are treating each other with sincerity.

"Then letting him go back, isn't it letting the tiger go back to the mountain? If you want to coax him back and kill him, it won't be easy, right?"

"If you don't put it back, how can you let him relax his vigilance and spit out the greedy money. Tiger? Whether he is a tiger or not depends on whether the emperor will let him be a tiger. Wasn't the general and king back then more powerful than him? Is there a wave? In the camp, he felt that he was operating like an iron bucket, but the hidden stake has not been moved. What kind of food he eats every day, the emperor can know clearly even if he wants to know."

"Your man?" Chu Ran thought of the secret guard that Mr. Kangxi gave him.

"No. The emperor's." More than half of the lieutenants are the emperor's people.Not to mention all kinds of dark nails.

"No wonder the history books say that he will be leveled up a few times a day and let him commit suicide, and he obediently accepts it."

Emperor means, that is all aspects.So many soldiers, such a big place, can we completely ignore it?How can it be.

"Then there are also around us?" Chu Ran thought that if there were spies by Nian Gengyao's side, thirteen
