Your Highness, Jiangshan hires you

Chapter 056

Royal study.

Xiao Mingyuan came down, but saw that Ming Che was here, he looked at the person in front of him, he couldn't help being a little surprised, just now when he came over, the palace servants who were waiting outside also didn't know, and asked directly: "Prince Ding When did you come here?"

Ming Che sat on the chair set aside and glanced at Xiao Mingyuan, "Didn't your majesty say that this king can come and go in and out of the imperial study at will, so why should your majesty care about this king's appearance? Or is it that your majesty is worried?" , this king is a little elusive, the emperor is worried that this king will accidentally do something behind his back?"

"Prince Ding was joking." Xiao Mingyuan was more or less terrified of Ming Che's words in his heart, but after so many years, he can still be somewhat sure of the mind of this person in front of him, "Ding Wang said , I have no interest in my country, and I know that King Ding is a person who abides by the agreement, so I will not have such worries."

"What does the emperor think of the matter in the court today?"

"Naturally, there is no flaw in King Ding's move. The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce used this to pick itself out. Although it lost a lot, it can be regarded as clean, and it can't get rid of all kinds of officials and households. Think about it. , the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has already been controlled by King Ding?"

"Why is it controlled by this king? It is controlled by this king's concubine, the present Ninth Highness." Ming Che said softly.

"What's the difference?"

"Your Majesty, don't you think that Luo Luo is a puppet in this king's hands? If Liuyun Dynasty is in your hands, this king is not interested. If it is Luo Luo, this king is still not interested. When you just ascended the throne as emperor, this king can To help you, here at Luoluo, this king is also doing the same thing, but this king has done more, because this king wants him to stand firmly in the country, and the power to control the world is in his hands."

"It's really hard to imagine that you would do this, but to this day, I'm still thinking about what kind of relationship exists between you and my youngest son."

"This king likes him, loves him, what does the emperor think of this reason?"

Xiao Mingyuan was slightly taken aback, then paused for a moment, and then continued: "It is indeed a unique reason that people cannot deny, but you should know that everyone in the world knows that the Ding Palace is not involved in government affairs. To help him is to..."

"Didn't the emperor already send a message early this morning, asking him to go to Jiangnan Province to thoroughly investigate all matters as the Ninth Prince? If so, he is not using the identity of Princess Ding, and the Ding Palace has not been involved."

"What do you mean? You mean, you let him go alone, you don't plan to intervene, don't plan to take care of it?"

"This king is a man who keeps his word. Just like what happened in the southern border back then, this king just took advantage of the trend and let the prince's people know the real situation in the southern border. This time, it is the same. No meddling in government affairs, after all, if Xiao Luan and Xiao Cheng hadn't been deeply involved in the party struggle, how could they be so sensitive to the slightest disturbance."

Xiao Mingyuan chuckled, "I really can't refute King Ding's words, but you should know that if you don't intervene, this time he will go to Jiangnan Province, it must be..."

"After this king leaves here, the emperor can announce to the outside world that this king will always be in the imperial capital during this time, and will come into the palace every day to meet the saint." Ming Che said in a concentrated voice: "As for Luo Luo's safety, this point The emperor doesn't have to worry about it, if you want to trouble him, you have to plan for it to come and go."

"You brought Xiao Luo back to Prince Ding's Mansion, what happened to him?"

"He is still him, the only difference is that he is no longer the little-known humble prince in this palace, let alone the son of the maidservant that you didn't care about, he is as honorable as any prince under your knees. His Royal Highness is the one who is qualified to compete for the supreme position."

"Then I will wait and see."

While talking, Ming Che got up, glanced at Xiao Mingyuan, and said again: "Actually, speaking of it, the matter about the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and the mistakes and omissions discovered by the Ministry of Accounting later were written by Luo Luo. Smarter than you think."

"I understand what King Ding means, but sometimes things can't be perfect. What I did to him in the past, maybe it was unfair and bad to him, but it was just like that, so that he would not really go to a desperate situation. Fortunately, He met you."

Ming Che also understood, just smiled, turned and walked out, and said: "I will come back to the palace tomorrow, the emperor can prepare a pot of tea."

When Ming Che left, Eunuch Sun who was standing beside said softly: "Your Majesty, Prince Ding is really assured that Princess Ding will go to Jiangnan Province on her own and let the emperor release the news. The emperor's agreement to interfere in the government?"

"Let's do it. Since even Ming Che is so sure, why should we bother." Xiao Mingyuan said directly.

"Yes." Eunuch Sun responded, without saying anything else, and immediately went to spread these words.

……

Harem, Fengyi Palace.

After paying respects to the queen, all the concubines dispersed separately. Only Concubine Liu Gui did not leave in a hurry. At this moment, there were only her and the queen in the palace, "Empress Empress, I think you must have known about what happened at the court this morning. , By the way, there is also news from the emperor just now."

Empress Zhang looked at Concubine Liu Gui and sneered, "Why, the reason why the noble concubine is talking about this with me here is to let the absolute noble concubine of the palace show her kindness to the palace? Regarding the affairs of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, the concubine is more important than anyone else. clear."

"The empress is just joking, the concubine is just thinking, this ninth prince is really lucky, not to mention getting the favor of King Ding, now with the east wind of Prince Ding's mansion, he has already stood up, Xiao Luo wants To intervene in the court situation, it is impossible to determine the identity of the princess. It must be the identity of the ninth son of the emperor, the identity of the prince, to participate in the succession struggle. The second-rank officer is really bleeding, the empress has taken a lot of care about Xiao Luo."

"Oh." Empress Zhang sneered, "The imperial concubine really has a good plan. My son is the crown prince after all, and he is indeed the heir apparent, but Xiao Cheng is not necessarily. No matter what happens, Xiao Luan will succeed to the throne. If anyone wants to compete, it must be outside of this. Whoever can reach a higher level will be qualified to fight with the crown prince. The emperor is now in his prime, and it is impossible for him to be in the Zen position. Heart, don't you know the emperor's best technique of check and balance?"

Concubine Liu Gui frowned slightly, she understood in her heart that it is undeniable that Xiao Luan indeed occupies the unique status of the prince, she stood up and said with a smile: "What the empress said is that the concubine serves the emperor, don't you know However, Chen Qie is not impatient. They have been here for so many years, and it is not the last moment. Who can say for sure? Besides, there is no direct conflict between Chen Qie and Xiao Luo. For example, there is a son who was born in the same year, the same month, and the same day as Xiao Luo."

Empress Zhang's complexion suddenly turned ugly. Seeing the change in the empress's face, Concubine Liu Gui smiled indifferently, and said: "The many matters involved in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, the emperor has entrusted Xiao Luo to go to Jiangnan Province to conduct a thorough investigation. What will happen to the Shang Shu and the many officials involved, I think there will be a result soon, and the concubine is not in a hurry."

As soon as the words were finished, Concubine Liu Gui blessed the superior empress, "Empress, the concubine has something to do in the palace, so I will leave first."

After Concubine Liu Gui left, Empress Zhang looked at the people beside her, and said coldly: "Since King Ding has already spoken, Prince Ding's mansion will not intervene, pass the words out, and tell the prince that the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs are responsible for this trip." It can be broken, but Xiao Luo can't let him return to the imperial capital alive again."

The maid at the side said seriously: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency the Prime Minister have delivered the news to the palace just now, so please rest assured that the Prime Minister will make arrangements for this matter."

"Xiao Luo!" Empress Zhang gritted her teeth. Damn it, she should have sent the son of this lowly servant girl to see the King of Hades. How dare a prince from a humble background dare to touch the throne? You must pay three points of respect, but as long as the Ding Palace does not interfere in the government affairs, if you want to get involved in the succession struggle, then you must be prepared to die.

……

Imperial Capital, Prince Ding's Mansion, Qingfeng Courtyard.

Seeing Ming Che who came back, Xiao Luo ran over happily, "Husband."

Ming Che touched Xiao Luo's small head with his hands, and said with a gentle smile: "I know everything about today's morning, from now on, Luo Luo will be able to stand in front of everyone justifiably, and do what you think thing."

"I know, these are all because my husband helped me. Right now, I have to go to Jiangnan Province. My husband, you..."

"It's just a trip to Jiangnan Province. Everything has been settled. It's nothing more than letting the imperial envoys sent by Xiao Mingyuan to make a new judgment on these matters, and it will be over soon." Ming Che said softly, " Luo Luo just go, no matter what happens, there is me behind Luo Luo."

"Yeah." Xiao Luo nodded, "Husband, after today's morning court is over, I guess Xiao Luan's people should attack me first."

"Lolo is worried that he won't be able to handle it?"

Xiao Luo shook his head and said: "No, with the guidance of my husband, I am confident that even if they send a deadly killer, I can handle it."

"It's okay, I'll let Ling Feng follow in secret during this trip, and no one can pose a threat to you."

"But, my husband didn't promise my royal father, the people who set up the palace will not interfere, Ling Feng..."

"It's just protecting in secret and not showing up. This is to let Luo Luo know that even if there are things that cannot be dealt with, Luo Luo doesn't need to worry, because I am behind you." Ming Che said to Xiao Luo seriously.

Xiao Luo approached Ming Che, leaning into Ming Che's arms...
