Pick up a prince to get married

The morning light is about to come out, and the streets are full of people.

The big man took the copper coins from his home and went to the grain store on the street to buy rice.

"Isn't that what you mean? Why don't you sell rice to me? Do you think I'm a vegetarian?" The big man waved his hands.

The clerk smiled, "If you have no money, don't come to buy things. Last time you used fake money, I didn't realize that it was your luck. Now you dare to come. It is my kindness not to send you to see the official. You Keep the real money and pay the previous bill, our small shop does not do business like yours."

The big man got angry, rushed forward to throw out the copper coins and said loudly, "Open your dog eyes so I can see clearly, this is the money the farmer made just yesterday from farming, which one is hard-earned money, which one is not real!" Drain the copper coins from your body.

The clerk took it in his hand and weighed it, then blew on the copper coin, and said disdainfully, "It's so light, you tell me it's real money? If you don't listen to the nice words, then go to the official!"

"When you meet an official, you will see an official! I know that I am afraid of going to an official!" The big man also refused to accept.

The clerk brother also became angry, and after telling the shopkeeper, he went to the county yamen with the big man.

But before they arrived, they saw a group of people blocking the gate of the yamen. Both of them were a little puzzled, "What's the matter?" the clerk pulled out one of them and asked.

The man saw that he was also the two who came and was still weighing the copper coins in his hands, so he knew what was going on with the two of them, "It's not because of fake money. I went to buy meat, but the meat boss insisted that I was fake money. I was so angry that I grabbed people and came to the yamen, but surrounded by such a group of people, everyone came here for the fake money, and now everyone is waiting for the yamen to give me a word."

After the man finished speaking, he squeezed into the crowd again and kept knocking on the door of the yamen.

The yamen servant guarding the door couldn't hold it anymore, so he hurriedly told the county magistrate, who was wearing an official hat a little slanted, and suddenly so many people surrounded him early in the morning, if he hadn't seen the opportunity, he would have never let the door open. Not sure what's going on now.

"My lord, there is no way to go on like this." The master said with a sad face.

The county magistrate didn't know, it's just that he had no idea to open the door in such a situation, and he would really be unable to get down at that time. The county magistrate was also angry. He went to check his house, and found that half of the money was counterfeit!

These people asked him to talk, who did he go to talk to?It's strange that these counterfeit coins are some copper plates, which don't look like much, but they have been circulated in the market. The county magistrate can guarantee that at least half of the counterfeit coins are in the market now!

"Go and tell the outside, this matter needs to be reported to the imperial court, and let everyone calm down and wait for the emperor's order." The county magistrate pointed to a yamen servant, and then slipped through the back door with the master.

The yamen servant couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only pass it on. Fortunately, the amount was small, and the common people went back after grumbling twice.

A group of yamen servants were left looking at each other.

In Yu State, there is more than one such county, and the major officials received the news in less than a day. Everyone spread the letter to Emperor Wei, but the border is far away, and the news can only be completed within ten days. good?

The important officials have gray hair in a hurry. There are some things that they can't decide. Even if they have an idea, they can't implement it. They can only wait for the emperor's news.

However, one wave of unrest and another wave rose again.

Before the counterfeit money was settled, the prices on the market began to skyrocket.

I don't know who spread the news that Yu State and Xirong were about to go to war again, and everyone was in danger for a while, frantically hoarding food.

In the past two years, Yu Guowu's capital has not been as abundant as before. Most people start to stock up, so how can the merchants not increase?Prices remained high for a while.

Lu Yi picked up a piece of pork and clicked his tongue twice, "Now this thing is almost as good as gold."

Shen Congming in front of him couldn't eat anymore after eating a bowl of rice without saying a word, and then stopped his chopsticks, "The villa has started to shrink its food, the only time to eat meat in three days, as long as you are happy."

Lu Yi laughed dryly, then quickly finished his meal and followed Shen Congming to the study.

"What do you think about the counterfeit money?" Lu Yi asked directly.Ever since he noticed that there was a problem with Yu country's economy, he has been investigating. After knowing that it is a counterfeit currency, he can only try his best to recycle the counterfeit currency on the market, but it is always a drop in the bucket.

Shen Congming's expression hasn't changed since he entered the door, "This is expected. If you knew it earlier, what is your countermeasure?"

"I want to take a risk and collect counterfeit money on the market on a large scale, and now the price of goods in Yu country is still high. As long as the little uncle throws out the materials he took from Dongfang Xiong to stabilize the market price, then the imperial court should also take action. Jieshi, This matter is over." Lu Yi explained his plan, and the supplies Shen Congming got from Dongfang Xiong were the biggest key to this matter.

Shen Congming's eyes flickered. Lu couldn't see it clearly, but his intuition was not good. Sure enough, Shen Congming walked to the door and closed it, and then said slowly, "And then? Do you have so much money for large-scale recycling of counterfeit money? Even if you have , After spending all this money, do you still have the strength to compete in the world? Why did this matter explode at this moment? Do you really not know? Shangguan Que."

He rarely called Lu Yi's real name, so it can be seen that he was really angry now, although his expression was still calm, and even his tone didn't change at all, only the tapping fingers accelerated.

Lu Yi was a little embarrassed, "Brother ignited the incident, I know."

"You know it's a trap, why do you still jump?" Shen Congming asked.

Lu Yixiu clenched his fists tightly, "But if you don't do this, many people will die! High-ranking officials and wealthy gentry will not die, but what about the common people? What should the common people do! I know that I can't do much, and the action I took back the counterfeit money before It should have attracted the attention of all parties, but should I just turn a blind eye like this?"

He can't do anything until the incident explodes, because it is futile to do it. If the incident explodes, since he has the ability to do it, why doesn't he do it?

Shen Congming closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he was calm, "Since you want to do it, then do it, but you should know the consequences after you do it. This is the key to the warehouse of Yuyuan Villa." Shang took out the key and handed it to Lu Yi, "Maybe you can get a good name, but you will never be destined for the throne in this life."

"I know what the most correct way to do now is to turn a blind eye, wait until the matter is further fermented, and then find a way to stop the court's actions, wait until the people lose confidence in the court, and then throw out supplies to gain good reputation, and then use Xie Zixi and Xie Zixi The border army is in the hands of the family, and with the help of the soldiers and horses in my hand, and then put forward the name of the Shangguan Dynasty, and raise troops to seize the throne, I know, what is the best way to do it, I know." Lu Yi said in a hoarse voice.

Shen Congming looked at him puzzled, since he understood, why didn't he do it?He couldn't understand the emotion on Lu Yi's face, and he couldn't understand such a way of thinking.

So he can only ask, "Why not do it?"

Lu Yi sighed. He already understood Shen Mingshu's thoughts, "Shen Mingshu, when the Shen family was destroyed, were you sad?" When he asked this question, there seemed to be a look of hope on his face. Dare to confirm the expression of others.

He shook his head sincerely, "There is no need to be sad, I should complete Zhouquan's remaining forces in the Shen family after fulfilling the late emperor's confession. Sadness is not among these things." He somehow explained it, although he didn't know Why do you have to say so much.

Lu Yi didn't find this answer surprising at all, this was the biggest sticking point between him and Shen Mingshu.He knew, he had always known, and had been trying to change. Just looking at Shen Mingshu in front of him, Lu Yi understood that he hadn't actually done anything.

Shen Mingshu is still Shen Mingshu, even if he has been Shen Congming for 23 years, he is still Shen Mingshu.

The most perfect heir of the Shen family, the next emperor's tutor appointed by the emperor.He is an official...an important minister.

"Although I know it, Shen Mingshu, this time, Shangguan Que can only disappoint you." After speaking, he took the key and strode away.

He is also afraid of himself, afraid that he will not be able to stand the doubts, and then make a decision that surprises himself. He may be Lu Yi, but he will always be Shangguan Que.

Shen Mingshu who was left behind was a little dazed, and even more puzzled. He stood in the study room, surrounded by silence. He looked at the landscape on the wall and felt a little breathless. He patted his chest. Disappeared, he looked around, but he didn't know what he was looking at.

He should stop Lu Yi.

Shen Mingshu told himself so.

But he couldn't move his feet.

Shen Mingshu was silent for a moment, it's fine, it's good to teach Shangguan Que a lesson, although this opportunity is rare, there will always be opportunities.

He gave himself such a reason that the current Shangguan Que cannot revive the Shangguan Dynasty, but after experiencing this incident, Shangguan Que will no longer have such inexplicable thoughts, because he will pay the price for it, which is fine.

Shen Mingshu sat on the chair and opened the book of past events.

In fact, he didn't understand why the first emperor's choice was full of words. The pedantic third prince was obviously more suitable as the first prince at that time. Facts have proved that even now, the first prince is more suitable. Then why did the sage first emperor choose Is it Shangguan Que?

How did the late emperor say, "I handed over the third prince to you, and I must support him and revive my Shangguan dynasty. You have to trust him, and you must also trust yourself."

He understands the first half of the sentence, but he still doesn't understand the meaning of the second half.

Believe in Shangguan Que's irrational judgment?Wouldn't that ruin the Shangguan dynasty?

I have never doubted myself, so why should I believe in myself?

Shen Mingshu saw the painting under the old affairs of the previous dynasty, it was a picture he drew of Lu Yi and Xiao Wu fishing together, and it was put here somehow.

A strange feeling surged in Shen Mingshu's heart, believing in himself...

He put away the painting and locked it in the cabinet. How can there be any doubts?
