I trade my property for my wife

Jiang Xingchen heard that his servants came to report that the heir of Prince Xuan's mansion had come, but this time he was not Jiang Xingchen, but somehow he knew that Zeng Xin was in the consort's mansion, and he wanted to see Zeng Xin.

Jiang Xingchen didn't think much about it, every time she came back she would cling to Xiao Jingyin for a while, it would be better if she didn't come to see her, she could have more time to help her wife squeeze her shoulders and neck, and get some cheap by the way.Xiao Jingyin took care of Jiang Yi personally every day, which really exhausted her, but she also enjoyed it.Jiang Xingchen felt sorry for her, but he couldn't hold her back, so he could only do what he could for her.

But Jiang Xingchen didn't get the "cheap" when he returned to the mansion today, so his servants rushed to report that the eldest son of Prince Xuan's mansion and the eldest grandma's brother Zeng Xin had a fight in the grandfather's yard.

When Jiang Xingchen and Xiao Jingyin rushed over, Zeng Chuxue was blocking Qin Ling who was trying to stop Zeng Xin and Xiao Jingping from fighting.Because in the yard, Qin Ling had planted a stronger red maple tree for her that had just grown for a year, and it was broken from the root.The little white rabbit's nest was also smashed, and Zeng Chuxue didn't care who hit who or who lay on it and crushed it.

As long as no one is killed, let them fight.

Seeing the blood stains on the corners of the nose and mouth of the two, Jiang Xingchen looked at this familiar scene and didn't know how to dissuade him for a while, until Xiao Jingyin made an extremely displeased voice and shouted: "Stop!"

Only then did the two fighters see Xiao Jingyin and Jiang Xingchen coming over, and stopped fighting angrily.

Zeng Xin looked at Xiao Jingping extremely displeased.

Xiao Jingping punched him as soon as he came, but fortunately he had a good face and didn't fight back, thinking that there was some misunderstanding, but Xiao Jingping kicked him again, and even knocked down the small tree next to him, and his clothes were also damaged. It was scratched, and it looked extremely embarrassed at the moment.

Xiao Jingyin asked sternly, "What's going on?"

The corners of Zeng Xin's mouth puffed up, he licked the blood on his lips, and looked at Xiao Jingping without answering.

Xiao Jingping looked at Zeng Xin unwillingly, and said unhappily, "Ask him what he did!"

Several people looked at Zeng Xin one after another. Zeng Xin hesitated for a moment. Except that Prince Xuan's mansion agreed to his marriage proposal, he seemed to have no relationship with Xiao Jingping. He sneered and said, "I have no friendship with General Zhaoyong Sulai. How did Zeng Xin offend the general, do you want to express it clearly?"

Xiao Jingping frowned, then opened it again, and sneered, "Commander Zeng is really a noble man who forgets things a lot. He just got hired a few days ago and forgot so quickly?"

When it comes to marriage, Zeng Xin's tone is a little more kind. The person in front of him is now his brother-in-law, and he doesn't want to make things too rigid. He said: "The marriage between Princess An and Zeng Xin has been agreed to by King Xuan. Now, somehow you have offended the prince?"

Xiao Jingping snorted coldly and said, "A year ago, at the tea shed in the outskirts of Beijing, did my sister tell you that she already has someone she likes?"

Zeng Xin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment and replied: "Yes."

"Then why are you going to propose marriage?" Xiao Jingping's voice rose instantly.

Zeng Xin pulled back his lips.At the beginning, I heard Xiao Jing'an say that having someone he likes, he was heartbroken, he was so sad that he planned to give up, and he proposed to marry him with his current face. He himself hated this kind of change, but he still couldn't help but want to fight for himself. fight.He reasoned and said: "The matter of marriage is the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker. Since the princess is not married, Zeng Xin also has the opportunity to ask for marriage."

Hearing Zeng Xin's words, several people in the courtyard frowned to varying degrees, but what Zeng Xin said made sense, making it impossible to refute.Xiao Jingping's gaze wanted to burn Zeng Xin like a raging fire, and he sneered angrily: "Okay, then don't you mind marrying a corpse?"

Dead body.

Everyone was taken aback, Xiao Jingyin frowned even more, looked at Xiao Jingping, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Jing An?"

Xiao Jingping's clenched fists were creaking, and the corners of his eyes were flushed, and he said emotionally: "Jing An has not eaten for a long time since he found out that he has engaged in a marriage. If I hadn't just returned, he would have died of a hunger strike right now. !"

When Zeng Xin heard this, his heart seemed to miss a beat, and he revealed a worried look, and asked nervously: "She...how is she now?"

"What's the matter? Don't you just want her to die? Now you're starting to pretend again?" Xiao Jingping's every sentence was pierced with acupuncture, which made Zeng Xin's heart ache.

Xiao Jingan had already been taken over by Xiao Jingping to his house in Beijing. To be precise, it was stolen from Prince Xuan's Mansion. Xiao Jingan was locked in the room by Xiao Xiuxuan because he did not agree with her marriage, and she protested with a hunger strike.King Xuan can follow her in any matter, but only marriage is not up to her to decide.

If Xiao Jingan still wants to follow his own wishes, then he doesn't mind beating someone to death.

After Zeng Xin left, Xiao Jingyin and Jiang Xingchen discussed to bring Xiao Jingan to the son-in-law's mansion first. Although Xiao Jingping is an elder brother, he is a man after all, and some things are inconvenient.

After receiving Xiao Jing'an, he was visibly thinner than the last time he saw him. He was already thin, but now he is even more of a skeleton.Seeing it, Zeng Chuxue felt distressed, so she prescribed some nourishing medicine, boiled it herself, and asked the servants to take it.She wanted Xiao Jing'an to be her sister-in-law, but she would rather die than marry her brother, so she really has someone she likes.

A few days later, Zeng Xin came to the mansion and wanted to see Xiao Jingan. After discussing with Xiao Jingan, Xiao Jingyin agreed to meet him.The two said something in the room, and Zeng Xin left angrily.After Xiao Jing'an had been raised for a while, King Xuan personally went to the mansion to take her back, and promised not to force her, if he didn't want to marry Zeng Xin, then he would not marry.

In late July, although it is hot, it cannot resist the temptation of Jiangnan beauties.The new emperor Xiao Jingqi was dissatisfied with the appearance of his harem concubine, so he decided to go to the south of the Yangtze River to find beautiful women.As soon as this remark came out, the ministers strongly opposed it.The new emperor has only been on the throne for one year, the situation in the court is unstable, there are many rebels in the south, and the Eastern Region is ready to move. How can the new emperor leave the capital so easily.

Xiao Jingqi looked at the memorials of the ministers, put his hands on his forehead, and was also shaken, and was about to temporarily cancel his trip to the south of the Yangtze River.In order to please the new emperor, Shu Peng offered a strategy to let the ministers go south together.The dragon boat that had been built years ago was enough to carry those ministers.

After hearing Shu Peng's words, Xiao Jingqi was delighted and immediately issued an imperial edict.Ten days later, all important ministers must follow him to the south of the Yangtze River to observe the people's sentiments.

Instead of looking for beauties to understand people's sentiments, and leading ministers, there is no reason to object this time.But Jiang Xingchen still didn't give up, and joined several ministers in the petition, asking Xiao Jingqi to cancel his trip to the south, at least until the bandits were quelled.Xiao Jingqi angrily threw Jiang Xingchen's memorial to the ground, and ordered that Jiang Xingchen's memorial will not be accepted before the trip.

After Jiang Xingchen failed to dissuade him, he was worried that the new emperor would really encounter bandits in the south of the Yangtze River, so he had to follow him.

Since Jiang Yuanming was poisoned last time, Jiang Xingchen sent many secret guards to protect around Jiangfu.And Qin Ling also sent a message from Jialing's secret guards that some strangers appeared around Jiangfu recently. For Jiang Yuanming's safety, he went back to Jialing to investigate and protect Jiang Yuanming.

Xiao Jingyin was worried that Jiang Xingchen would go to the south of the Yangtze River alone. After all, she was a woman, so it would be inconvenient not to bring someone who knew the truth by her side.She went to the palace to beg Xiao Jingqi, found a reason to go to the south of the Yangtze River to see the scenery, and went with her.

Ten days later, when everything was ready, the ministers and guards of the forbidden army also boarded the boat, and Xiao Jingping led the troops on both sides of the boat to escort him.Because Xiao Jingyin is a princess, the specification is naturally different from that of the ministers. After the internal servants arranged the ministers, they took Xiao Jingyin to the second floor of the dragon boat. Jiang Xingchen, being a son-in-law, naturally couldn't be separated from her.

After the boat sailed away from the shore, Jiang Xingchen finally had the opportunity to meet Xiao Jingqi. She and the Minister of the Household Department submitted the accounting books of this year's taxes and expenditures of the Ministry of War.Xiao Jingqi wanted to open it to check, but saw Shu Peng brought the singer and dancer to the hall.Xiao Jingqi threw the account book aside, and kindly invited Jiang Xingchen and the others to sit down and enjoy it.Jiang Xingchen raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the dancer's clothes, only a piece of light veil was wrapped around it, covering the concealment, and the rest was exposed to the outside.Being so promiscuous, Jiang Xingchen had no choice but to lie that Xiao Jingyin was waiting for her, and retreated.

After Jiang Xingchen left, Xiao Jingqi threw the account book to Shu Peng and asked him to check it for him.The singing and dancing lasted until late at night, Xiao Jingqi looked like he was about to get drunk, walked down the steps a few steps, grabbed a dancer and went to the sleeping tent inside the house.And Shu Peng watched Xiao Jingqi leave, then gently closed the account book, and a wicked smile leaked from the corner of his mouth.

The next day, Jiang Xingchen got up early, and waited for Xiao Jingqi's morning summons at the bottom of the dragon boat with the ministers.But no one saw Xiao Jingqi coming out. It was not until the sun was shining in the southwest that Xiao Jingqi declared the morning court to all the ministers.Xiao Jingqi sat on the dragon chair that took two months to build, yawned, and said, "Just talk about it."

Ministers, look at me and I look at you. It is nothing more than the problem of finances and the rogues in the south, and the border with the Eastern Region countries, which requires additional troops to be deployed in advance.Jiang Xingchen asked first, "Your Majesty, did you check the account books submitted by the ministers yesterday?"

Xiao Jingqi kneaded his nasal bone, looked up at Jiang Xingchen, and then at Shu Peng.Shu Peng boasted a step, stood side by side with Jiang Xingchen, and replied: "Minister, Shu Peng has something to play."

Xiao Jingqi raised his jaw: "Speak."

Shu Peng turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xingchen, bowed down and knelt down: "I want to impeach Jiang Xingchen, Minister of the Ministry of War, for recruiting troops privately, and lying about the price of military rations."

Xiao Jingqi put down his hand that was kneading his nasal bone, sat up straight, and asked, "Oh, what about Jiang Aiqing?"

Jiang Xingchen glanced at Shu Peng who was on the ground, and replied to Xiao Jingqi who was directly above him: "It's absolutely nothing."

Xiao Jingqi looked at Shu Peng on the ground again in a blink of an eye, and asked, "What evidence does Shu Aiqing have?"

Shu Peng raised his head and replied: "I checked the expenditure account book of the Ministry of War that Mr. Jiang presented to His Majesty yesterday, and the expenditure was 5% more than the normal year in previous years. The Ministry of War recruited nearly [-] new recruits, and the average price of rice this year is also higher. Out of five dollars."

It was purely much ado about nothing, after listening to Shu Peng's words, Jiang Xingchen raised his eyes to meet Xiao Jingqi's, and explained: "The extra expenditure was to recruit [-] new recruits, and the price of rice grain is the price of this year's new grain."

Shu Peng continued to complain: "Your Majesty ascended the throne, frightened the world, and the world is peaceful. Why do you need to expand the number of soldiers and horses? Isn't it necessary to exploit the people to make up for the extra food and salaries? Why use new rice for rice grain? People, why do you have to spend more money to let them eat new rice, and the rice grains that have been left for a while are not the same, and the extra rice grains and silver money are not collected from the hands of the people again?"

The ministers in the hall, after hearing Shu Peng's words, there was a buzzing sound, Xiao Jingqi coughed: "My loves, be quiet."

Xiao Jingqi looked at Jiang Xingchen and asked, "Jiang Aiqing."

Jiang Xingchen bowed and said, "My minister is here."

Xiao Jingqi said: "Are you admitting that you recruited more troops privately?"

Jiang Xingchen replied without fear: "I don't admit it."

Seeing Xiao Jingqi frowning above Jiang Xingchen, she explained: "The Ministry of War already has the duty of analyzing the situation of the war and taking precautions in advance. The expansion of the recruitment of troops is also approved by His Majesty, and I just follow the order. Also, new rice is certainly more expensive, but The soldiers are working hard. If they go to the front line, it is not known whether they will be able to eat the new rice next year. If we let them eat only heavy rice, once the hearts of the soldiers are chilled, who will guard the territory for us? ?”

After Jiang Xingchen finished speaking, there was another uproar.He couldn't remember whether Xiao Jingqi had been approved. He hurriedly looked at Prime Minister Shu Liangji, saw him nodded, licked his lips and said, "Zhen... I remembered, it was approved by me."

Jiang Xingchen bowed and saluted, and before he was about to retreat to his position, he heard Shu Peng say inhumanely: "Since it is the subject approved by His Majesty, I have nothing to say, but Jiang Shangshu just said that the soldiers eat new rice, and the soldiers on the front line eat rice." There is nothing wrong with the new rice. But it is hard to say whether the recruits will go to the battlefield, so do they have to eat new rice?"

Pick the bone in the egg.As soldiers, why do they eat Shen rice when others eat new rice?Jiang Xingchen didn't bother to argue with him, so he returned to his class.At this time, Xiao Jingqi followed Shu Peng's words and began to accuse Jiang Xingchen.Jiang Xingchen took two steps back and retracted her feet. She didn't know why Xiao Jingqi followed Shu Peng's words so absurdly, but her intuition told her that the two of them talked and sang on purpose.

In the end, Jiang Xingchen used his personal assets to make up for the extra military pay, and the two let her go.

After the court was over, Jiang Xingchen told Xiao Jingyin about the affairs of the court meeting. After Xiao Jingyin lowered his eyes and pondered, he said succinctly, "Is it because the treasury is running out of money again?"

Back then, the late emperor Xiao Xiucheng had frequent wars and the treasury was empty, so he took the move of recruiting a son-in-law. It took half of the Jiang family to fill the treasury.Now less than three years have passed, and the finances seem to be stretched again.

Xiao Jingan's branch line is very important.

Thank you Nancheng Xiaocute for the nutrient solution.
