surnamed Wang

Chapter 19 Father and Son
After returning from the imperial study, Wang Gangquan didn't sleep well all night.I kept thinking about Liulichang over and over again, for fear of being handed over to some corrupt officials.

So early the next morning, he hurried to find the emperor again, and met a young eunuch at the gate of the emperor's bedroom. After inquiring, he found out that the emperor had not returned all night. Yushufang, so he rushed to Yushufang again.

Because he was worried that he had stimulated the emperor too much before, the guilty Wang Gangquan did not kick the door this time, but pushed the door gently to enter.Sure enough, the emperor was still in the imperial study, and had already fallen asleep on the desk.There was a pile of memorials on the dragon table, Wang Bingquan stepped forward lightly, then took off the fox fur from his body, and put it on for the emperor.After leaving another note on the emperor's desk, he quietly backed out.

The emperor finally woke up after working hard all night.He touched the fox fur on his body first, then called the eunuch on duty and asked if anyone had been there.

After learning that the eighth prince had arrived in the morning, the emperor showed a rare smile. Just as he was about to get up, he caught a glimpse of the note on the dragon case, and picked it up curiously:
"Father, you don't have to worry too much. Officials need to be rectified, but there is no rush. Now that the foundation of the country is unstable, it is time to employ people. Kill them first to warn others. If they can rein in the precipice, it will be fine. If there are people who are lucky, then kill them Chi. In addition, the third princess, Wang Bingyao, loves Liuli and is not greedy for money, so I feel that the Liuli Factory can be managed by Huang Jie."

After reading the note in his hand, the emperor casually threw it into the brazier beside him, "Stinky boy, you still teach me how to do things?" There was no trace of anger in his words, but a bit of a smile.

On the same day, the emperor issued an order that the three princesses, Wang Bingyao, would be directly responsible for the large and small affairs of Liulichang, which was funded by the imperial court.

The third princess, who was admiring the bracelet in the room, was also stunned after receiving the imperial decree. Why did she somehow become the director of Liulichang?The third princess, who didn't dare to speculate on the holy intention, went directly to Liulichang to check after receiving the order.When she saw the dazzling array of colored glaze products on the shelves for the first time, she was completely shocked. This... isn't it her favorite kind of colored glaze!

On the other hand, after Wang Gingquan gave the emperor an idea to make an example of others, he naturally wanted to help choose a good candidate.

Inspector Yushi?Wang Gangquan thought of this person first, and then he shook his head again.

Although his son was quite arrogant, Nian let him off first for the sake of giving him 20 taels of silver.Looking at the officials in the small books, their heirs have more or less spent on their own side, and it is not very authentic to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Since he doesn't plan to move them, he can only take the knife of Mr. Zhao who cheated him...

Zhao Cong was really unlucky, he usually doesn't show any signs of leakage, and behaves very low-key.In the end, not only was he inexplicably tricked by a businessman who had worked with him, but he also offended Wang Gangquan by seizing a few fat sheep, so he was missed.He is still happily eating boiled mutton in the house, while Wang Gangquan has already gone to the emperor Laozi to complain.

"Father, I have found a suitable candidate for you, who will not involve those court officials, and can serve as an example to others."

The emperor was very angry and funny when he heard it. Now he not only taught himself how to do things, but also decided on the candidates. Judging by his eagerness, it is estimated that there must be a lot of personal grievances involved.

"The head of the house, Zhao Zong, always secretly takes kickbacks. That's not counting. False reports and fraudulent accounts have caused me to have no sheep to eat in the winter. I can only eat roast suckling pigs. Father, you must strictly investigate."

Now the emperor finally knew where the unlucky Zhao Cong had offended him.

"By the way, father, I have selected the person responsible for investigating Zhao Cong for you. The eldest prince is upright, and I think he is competent."

Normally, Wang Bingquan and the eldest prince and three princesses don't have any friendship, so why are they always thinking about them now, the emperor was very puzzled, so he couldn't help but ask:
"How dare you judge the character of your royal brother and sister?"

"Because they are poor, the two of them together can't make up 2 taels of silver."

The emperor's old face was a bit unbearable at this time. Isn't this just saying that he is stingy? The descendants of the dignified royal family do not have as much silver as the heirs of officials.

"Then do as you say."

In order to ease the embarrassment and stop humiliating himself, the emperor directly agreed to his request.

He knew the character of the eldest prince, and he had this son before he ascended the throne.

Wang Bingxian is the emperor's first son. When the eldest prince was still young, the emperor accompanied him almost every day. He still knew his character. However, as he succeeded to the throne, he was not only busy with the country all day long, but also had more and more heirs. As a result, the relationship between father and son gradually became alienated.

After Wang Gangquan left, the emperor ordered the eunuch to summon the eldest prince.

Wang Bingxian was born in the fifth year of the dynasty, and now he is just in his early twenties. At a young age, he is already the father of a child.Because of an accident when I was a child, my body has always been weak.

Looking at the pale son in front of him, the emperor couldn't help but feel sad. He was considered a harmonious family at first, but since he became emperor, his children have been assassinated one after another. The eldest prince in front of him was the first to be murdered , although the rescue was timely and his life was saved, but it also left a lot of sequelae. It is extremely rare for him to be able to give birth to a son.

"Father."

The first prince's "father" brought the emperor back from his memories. This title was used by the first prince before the emperor ascended the throne. It has not been changed for more than ten years, and the emperor has not corrected it. After all, there is a relationship between him and this child. The relationship is already distant enough.

"Xian'er, I called you here today because I want you to do something."

"Father will do as he says."

"The chief executive, Zhao Zong, has pocketed his own money, you go and investigate, if there is indeed such a thing, you will be severely punished!"

"My son accepts the order!"

Although Wang Bingxian, who got the will, was calm on the surface, he was very happy in his heart.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been devoting himself to the utmost care and doing it himself. Even the smallest things are borne by himself. As the eldest son, Wang Bingxian naturally wanted to help share the burden, and he often asked the emperor, but they were all rejected. Over time, it was gone. thought.

In fact, the emperor can't be blamed for this. He suffered a lot from the power struggle and killed his brother himself.He didn't want to see brother-in-law fighting again in the future, so he intentionally or unintentionally weakened the power of the princes.

Today can be regarded as the first time in the new year, Wang Bingxian is naturally happy to be able to share his father's worries, he has not been able to speak to his father for a long time.

The eldest prince also knew that the current emperor was no longer the father he remembered when he was a child, and he would often privately think that it would be great if his father hadn't become the emperor.But just thinking about it, this kind of thing can't be said to anyone.

The eldest prince took the handbook, hesitant to speak.

"If you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

After many years of father and son, there is still some tacit understanding.

"Father seems very happy today, I haven't seen him for a long time."

The emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, "Is there?"

"Maybe Hai'er misunderstood, and Hai'er will leave first."

After the eldest prince retired, the emperor was alone in the imperial study, lost in thought.
