405: An unusual family dinner

Today, in the Qing Dynasty, everything is going smoothly, the country is prosperous and the people are safe.

Since Emperor Qing ascended the throne, he has carried out drastic reforms to this originally weak country. In just a dozen years, Nanqing has become the most powerful country on the continent. The Grand Master sits on two of them.

What many people don’t know is that behind all of this, most of the credit goes to the woman named Ye Qingmei.

Although this strange woman who was more than 10 years old has not been able to create the utopia in her heart as she wished, the world is already full of her traces, including the internal treasury, newspapers, and the Control Yuan. , Grand Master

Lu Ze thought silently, the situation in Kyoto has become so strange now, in fact, everything points to Ye Qingmei.

In the main hall of the East Palace, Lu Ze, who was dressed in gorgeous casual clothes, showed nobility, looking at the various files placed on the slips in front of him.

Bright sunlight shines in through the wooden windows. Lu Ze is the only one in the huge palace. Lu Ze habitually retreats to the left and right. At this time, he can see that most of the contents of the file are related to the royal family. Account books related to internal treasury.

Lu Ze gently pinched his slightly frowned brows, thinking about the various difficult things at hand.

I am different from that guy Fan Xian. I don’t have so many fathers to help me. The only father is Emperor Qing, the great master who is good at hiding and loves the art of balancing temples. In Emperor Qing’s heart His love for Fan Xian, the illegitimate son, is equally strong.

The queen also told Lu Ze that she should rely more on the eldest princess Li Yunrui

Lu Ze smiled helplessly.

The queen still doesn’t know that the eldest princess actually cooperates with the second prince Li Chengze behind the scenes, although this cooperation is far less than the forbidden love between Lu Ze and the eldest princess’ aunt. Although they are so in-depth, the two of them have also made a lot of profits through internal treasury in recent years.

It is a pity that at the beginning, the prince Li Chengqian only knew that he was immersed in the tenderness of the most beautiful woman in Qing Dynasty, and did not notice anything unusual.

Of course Lu Ze knew that Li Yunrui was not someone he could rely on.

Because she is a real crazy woman.

The most beautiful woman in the Qing Kingdom, her beauty is still the same as when she was a girl, but her heart has become extremely extreme. The appearance of Ye Qingmei completely overturned Li Yunrui's view of the imperial power. The perception of women under the rule had an extremely profound impact on her.

At present, Li Yunrui is crazy about pursuing the delicious taste of power, and he is thinking about surpassing that strange woman

"Internal Treasury Ownership"

Fan Xian is about to enter Beijing The news has spread in the capital.

Only a very few people know that Fan Xian encountered another round of crazy assassinations in Danzhou this time. This round of assassinations came from the most mysterious Supervisory Office in Qing Kingdom. Although the assassination failed, Lu Ze Knowing that the capital city was in turmoil, it was completely chaotic.

All forces appeared one after another to start the competition.

Lu Ze’s primary goal is also the inner treasury. As a modern person, Lu Ze knows that the real core technology in the inner treasury does not belong to this era. Although the eldest princess has been in charge of the inner treasury these years, the core technology is still in those with the surname Ye. In the hands of the shopkeeper.

As long as Lu Ze gets the ownership in his hands, he can firmly hold this money-generating machine in his hands in a short period of time. It is not like Li Yunrui who just uses the internal treasury to smuggle for profit.

For Lu Ze, the high profits generated by the internal treasury came second.

The main reason is that as the Crown Prince of Qing, Lu Ze needs to hold authority in his hands if he wants to truly stand on the stage of the capital.

Everything Prince Li Chengqian has done over the years has been seen by Emperor Qing. Emperor Qing is naturally a little dissatisfied with the prince he chose, because this prince has not even competed with the second prince Li Chengze over the years. Even the whetstone failed to knock it down.

Emperor Qing wanted Fan Xian’s illegitimate son to take over the inner treasury. On the one hand, he wanted to suppress Li Yunrui.

The eldest princess's voice in the capital has become louder and louder in recent years. Emperor Qing knew that his sister was related to his two sons, and was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Yunrui's interference in the affairs of the prince and the Qing army.

Lu Ze knew the more important reason.

Because at this time Emperor Qing was preparing to go to war with Northern Qi and needed money from the inner treasury to support the military and government. Although the eldest princess was capable, the inner treasury was far less well managed under her hands than before, and there was internal corruption. The situation is extremely serious.

It’s all my money.

You take two million, and I share one million. Do I still want to thank you?

Lu Ze knew what was going on in the heart of the father, Emperor Qing, and thought to himself. He wanted to improve his reputation. At least in name, he was still the crown prince of Qing State, so he could legitimately hold something in his hands.

"Fan Xian"

"Wan'er"

Emperor Qing would hold a family banquet in the palace every week.

It was said to be a family banquet, but in fact the three of them, Emperor Qing, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, had a meal together. Emperor Qing, the parent, was conducting various studies on the two children during the meal. A loving father and a filial son.

Accompanied by Eunuch Hou, Lu Ze came to the back pavilion of Tai Chi Hall.

The Tai Chi Hall was the place where Emperor Qing handled government affairs after he came down from the throne. Normally, all the ministers would confront Emperor Qing here. It is said that the person who came to the Tai Chi Hall most frequently was Chen Pingping, the director of the Supervisory Yuan. , but in recent years, Dean Chen has been ill and rarely enters the Tai Chi Hall if he has nothing to do.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Last night, a batch of extremely fresh and plump red fin snapper came from Danzhou. The sea fish was big, and it was still alive and kicking when it came. The old slave specially asked the imperial kitchen to stew for a few more hours, and now it is waiting for you and the second prince to enjoy it. Please come here."

Eunuch Hou is the personal eunuch of Emperor Qing, and the old eunuch has a gentle expression. .

I have been following His Majesty since he ascended the throne, and Eunuch Hou is accompanying him.By Emperor Qing's side, there was never any mistake in all the errands he handled.

Lu Ze smiled and said a few words, but he quickly digested the message hidden in Eunuch Hou's words in his mind.

Danzhou is located in the east of Qingguo, facing the sea, and has developed maritime transportation. However, it is far away from Qingguo’s Kyoto, and it takes more than ten days to reach it by horse-drawn carriage.

And when the red fin snapper from Danzhou was transported to Kyoto, it was still alive and kicking

This fish obviously did not come through normal channels. It seemed that it followed the red fin snapper. They came together, and there should be news about Fan Xian.

The emperor's father paid great attention to his illegitimate son's attitude.

Not long after Lu Ze arrived, Eunuch Hou led the other protagonist of the family dinner, the second prince Li Chengze.

Li Chengze has a handsome appearance, but his appearance as a man has a softness to it. Lu Ze has to admit that the second prince Whetstone looks very good. After Li Chengze came to the pavilion, he greeted him very respectfully. Lu Ze luggage.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Lu Ze stood up and returned the greeting, smiling, "Second brother, there is no need to be polite. My father has said that there is no other identity at the family banquet, only father, son and brother."

Emperor Qing had countless concubines in his harem, but he only had five children.

The eldest prince Li Chengshu has always been stationed in Dongyi City. Since the eldest prince’s mother Ning Cai is from the Yi tribe, and the eldest prince has Dongyi blood, he is destined to miss the throne when he is born, so Emperor Qing He has been trained as a military general to guard the border for Qingguo.

The second prince is next to him, Li Chengze, who seems to be leisurely and contented, but is actually very skillful.

Lu Ze, the third oldest prince.

The fourth child is the illegitimate son named Fan who is still on the way.

The fifth child, Li Chengping, is still a little kid at the moment, but the little Tai Sui of Fengyue Place, in the original novel, this guy even opened a brothel with Fan Sizhe.

"Young."

"Red fish from Danzhou"

"This is a real treat"

Compared In front of Lu Ze who was sitting upright, Li Chengze looked very active.

The second prince could not sit still, so he walked around in this huge pavilion, looking towards the Wanli Lake not far away from time to time. This lake was home to countless Koi, after sprinkling the fish food, thousands of carp will jump and the scene will be amazing.

Eunuch Hou, who was waiting nearby, coughed a few times when he saw this, for fear that the second prince would fall into the lake.

Lu Ze smiled, but soon stopped laughing, because at this time, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared next to him.

Wearing a white gauze robe, a few strands of hair stuck randomly behind the ears and on the side of the face, looking a bit unruly. The man had a faint smile on his slightly thin face.

What was impressive was his bottomless eyes. No one in the Qingguo court dared to look directly into his eyes.

Because he is Emperor Qing.

Because he isThe ruler of the Qing Kingdom.

"My sons pay homage to my father"

Lu Ze and Li Chengze saluted Emperor Qing together, and the latter waved his hand casually, "Let's eat."

The atmosphere of the family banquet was not that tense. Li Chengze next to him naturally picked up Kuai Zi and ate the food with big mouthfuls. Compared to the second prince who gobbled it up, Lu Ze's eating appearance was much more elegant, but the speed But also dissatisfied.

Emperor Qing only took two bites before putting down Kuaizi. He just watched his two children eating quietly.

Ever since Emperor Qing came to the pavilion, Eunuch Hou took the initiative to retreat, leaving only space for the family of three to be alone. This old eunuch even understood Emperor Qing better than the ladies in the harem. thought.

Emperor Qing’s eyes suddenly fell on Lu Ze.

Lu Ze raised his head in confusion and saw Emperor Qing's mouth raised, and he slowly said, "Qian'er ate more today than before."

Next to him Li Chengze glanced at the few empty plates on the dining table and nodded in recognition. In the past, the prince kept his status and only tasted a few bites at family banquets. He would not let go and eat. Today, Lu Ze did not eat at all. No less than the second prince who devoured it.

"The Danzhou red fish tasted very delicious, so my son ate more of it."

Emperor Qing nodded and glanced towards the west unconsciously with a complicated expression. That is the direction of Danzhou.

After eating, Emperor Qing began to question Lu Ze and the second prince about the Six Arts of the Gentleman.

Etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Although Emperor Qing was a man of action, he did not abandon all the six arts. Instead, he recognized their importance. During those years with Ye Qingmei, he was also deeply affected. big.

The question Emperor Qing asked this time was extremely profound, and it was about numbers.

Li Chengze's brows furrowed slightly. The second prince, who had always claimed to be extremely smart, was now deep in thought. He kept gesticulating under the table with his fingers, looking for answers in distress. .

"Gan'er."

"You say."

After a long time, Emperor Qing spoke.

Lu Ze nodded slightly and said yes, and then quickly answered without being humble or overbearing.

"I think this is the question"

After listening to Li Chengze next to him, his eyes showed shock. He never expected that the prince could answer such a difficult question. , even Emperor Qing's face flashed with a strange look, and he nodded in recognition, "Very good."

Just when Lu Ze and Li Chengze thought that the study was about to end. < /p>

"After all, I promised that whoever marries Wan'er will be able to take over the inner treasury."

Lu Ze did notLi Chengze was so hesitant and said directly, "Let's take a look first."

Emperor Qing nodded again with great satisfaction, not because of how perfect Lu Ze's answer was, but because he answered quickly enough Come on, Emperor Qing always felt that his prince's temperament was too gentle and gentle.

But I feel that today’s prince is much more pleasing to the eye.

Emperor Qing laughed and said, "Let's take a look first."

After finishing speaking, he walked away.

Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief. Today's family dinner was not as comfortable as he imagined. When he got up and was about to leave, he found that Li Chengze behind him was looking at him, half-smiling but not smiling: "Prince today." Your Highness behaved perfectly in front of my father, and I am extremely impressed."

Lu Ze looked at the second prince who was not as free and easy as when he first entered the pavilion, and turned to leave.

I silently recited the words "Whetstone" in my mind.

Just after walking out of the Tai Chi Hall, Lu Ze discovered that the deputy commander of the Ouchi Guards, Gong Dian, was on duty today. Gong Dian and Lu Ze were familiar with each other, but Lu Ze did not come forward to talk to the deputy commander too much. Small talk.

My father’s eyes are very vicious.

In the original work, Emperor Qing knew of such private matters as Gong Dian’s collection of the prince’s calligraphy and paintings.

With his son walking too close to his personal bodyguard, Emperor Qing, a big boss, would naturally feel uncomfortable. Later, Gong Dian noticed something was wrong under Emperor Qing's hint, and in front of the prince By tearing up the extremely precious calligraphy and paintings, I saved my job.

Lu Ze just greeted Gong Dian briefly and then left. After walking a few steps, he met the palace maid who was waiting for her again.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"The eldest princess invites you."

Lu Ze felt dizzy again.

I don’t know how the prince in Qing Yunian’s original work was so bold to get together with Li Yunrui. After all, Changxin Palace is still in the palace. Once the affairs between the two are leaked, it will be All of them will end up burping.

Just when he was about to refuse, Lu Ze thought about the news that Fan Xian was coming to Beijing.

As Lin Wan'er's biological mother, Li Yunrui would naturally not watch her daughter marry this Fan Xian, let alone hand over the treasure of the inner treasury that makes money. Lu Ze is now in people's eyes Just like the eldest princess.

He sighed silently in his heart.

Mom sells batches.

In Changxin Palace, Li Yunrui is wearing a black and gold dress, showing his elegance.

"Gan'er."
