Instead, she said with a half-smile: "There are so many nobles in the harem, which one is not the emperor's man? The ministers of the previous court are also the emperor's subjects. The common people of the Li people are your people. Even Huichanghou is also the emperor people."

Zhu Jian pinched her nose lovingly, and then pulled her to sit next to him: "Those people belong to the emperor. Personally, only the wives and children around me are my own people, the real family."

Fang Yuanzhi didn't continue to raise the bar, but leaned her head lightly on his shoulder.

It's because he doesn't want anything, he has no burden, no pressure, so he dares to pin his feelings on himself and his children.

Concubine Baixian and the second prince in the Yonghe Palace, the Empress Dowager and King Chong in the Qingning Palace are all his blood relatives or wives and concubines.

But he only dared to express and confide his feelings presumptuously here.

Zhu Jianshen apologized to her in a low voice: "I really treated you mother and son badly."

Yuan Zhi smiled and touched her cheek: "Why are you so sour today?"

She stayed in the palace willingly. Although this child came unexpectedly, it was also the crystallization of their love.

Where does he need to apologize every now and then?
……

In the first month of the seventh year of Chenghua, Li Rong, the censor of salt inspection in Zhejiang Province, issued a new memorial to the salt administration—mainly putting forward some targeted reform suggestions for the disadvantages of salt farms and kitchen households.

These opinions were originally mentioned in the new law on salt administration in the fourth year of Chenghua, but they were not fully implemented.Over the years, the malpractice of "opening up the central government and seizing resources" in the new salt administration law has been well curbed, and the reform of the salt administration has gradually entered the deep-water area-salt farm reform.

This reform involves the core interests of the Jiangnan faction—although the Xu family has thrown out the salt industry over the years, the salt field is still firmly in their hands.

Xu Lin was so angry that she smashed her teacup at home, her gray beard trembled: "Presumptuous! Bold! White-eyed wolf!"

Xu Chun, who was standing with his hands down, looked stern and silent.

Xu Lin scolded angrily: "It's only been three years, we helped him contain his relatives, and we suffered heavy losses. He actually repaid his kindness and attacked our Xu family so quickly!"

Xu Chun lowered his eyelids and said lightly: "In the final analysis, it is our fault. We only give seven or eight points to the ten-point salt class, and some even only four or five points. Those businessmen who are paying for food are not fools, they have no money Earn, sooner or later you have to poke it out."

Xu Lin still couldn't get rid of her anger: "If it wasn't for the trouble of dealing with the foreign relatives' party, we needed a lot of money, why would we need to make such a bad move? After a few years, the foreign relatives' party is completely overthrown, and it will naturally return to normal. What about a few years of arrears? "

Xu Chun slowly raised his eyes to look at Xu Lin, and looked at the room again, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth: "It was also in this room back then, and my uncle said that he would throw the salt industry out. Isn't the current practice Back to the old way?"

Xu Lin hesitated: "There is no way to do this. The ticket office business has not started, and money has to be spent everywhere. The salt industry is the fastest to get money."

He glanced at Xu Chun with complicated eyes: "It was because of you that I planned to abandon the salt industry back then. I just didn't expect it to be backfired in the end."

Xu Chun had a calm attitude: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't plan to become an official anymore."

After pondering, Xu Lin said: "Forget it. You will take over my position in the future. Now there is a big thing to do, and I just entrust you."

Xu Chun said without joy or worry: "Please tell my uncle clearly."

Xu Lin was silent for a long time, and then said lightly: "The second prince is more than one year old now, it's time to establish a crown prince."

The sharp look in Xu Chun's eyes flashed, and then he returned to normal: "Yes, my nephew will arrange it."

The uncle and nephew plotted carefully for a long time before they dispersed.

……

On the deck of the ship heading to the capital, Mu Liang looked at Xu Chun who was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance unwillingly. He hesitated a few times before he finally said, "Are you willing to be a chess piece and be manipulated for the rest of your life?"

Xu Chun said indifferently: "Yuan Kai has already married the daughter of the Sun family, and I don't know what agreement my uncle reached with the Sun family. The power of the Marquis of Huichang is not as good as before, and the Jiangnan faction has become popular, and they are helping each other with the Jiangxi faction. The emperor's ascension to the throne will do more good than harm to the Jiangnan faction."

Mu Liang's eyes darkened: "Then do you know that Yuan Zhi and her children have no way out without the protection of the emperor?"

Xu Chun sneered: "What does this have to do with me?"

Mu Liang sneered: "You can hide it from others, but can you hide it from me?"

Xu Chun didn't speak.

Mu Liang put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and said softly, "Aren't you afraid that she will hate you?"

Xu Chun smiled lightly: "Now I have a wife and son, and my life is happy and happy, I have long forgotten the past."

Mu Liang raised his eyebrows: "You can be stubborn! If you are really happy and happy, why do you see you wandering outside all year round, and don't go home to visit after returning to Suzhou? You think you are the great Yu who controls the water, and you never enter the house?"

Xu Chun let out a long sigh, and leaned on the railing to read: "The great river goes east, the waves wash away, and there is a man of the ages. To the west of the old base, the human way is the Red Cliff of Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks pierced through the sky, the waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country is picturesque, and there are so many heroes at that time. Thinking back to the time when Gongjin was young, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time, and she was majestic and heroic. Feather fans and towels, while talking and laughing, masts and sculls flew into ashes and smoke. Traveling in the old country, you should laugh at me passionately, and give birth to flowers early. Life is like a dream, One of them will also worship Jiangyue."

Mu Liang shook his head helplessly, and returned to the cabin on his own.

……

In February of the seventh year of Chenghua, Emperor Zhu Jianshen gradually promoted generals related to the Fang family. Liu Neng, the commander of the military capital of Jiyang Guards, was promoted to be the governor of the Chinese army, and Gao Jun, the commander of the military capital of Wucheng's guard, was the governor of the left army. .These people were all capable subordinates of Nanhe Hou Fangying in the past, and they were promoted to command envoys with salary by Yingzong in the past.

In March, the emperor personally appointed Liu Ju, the left governor of the post-military governor's mansion, as Uncle Ning Jin, with a yearly salary of one thousand shi, which caused an uproar in the court and the opposition.

People in the government and the opposition discussed a lot, saying that although Liu Ju served as the deputy commander-in-chief and the Marquis of Funing Zhu Yong was defeated in Yansui, Huang Caoliang was injured and almost died in battle, so it is nothing more than to be promoted to the left governor in terms of merit.More people despise Liu Ju as the nephew of the eunuch Liu Yongcheng. If this is the case, people in the future will probably think that it is an easy task to win the title.

This matter was also widely spread in the palace, and all the servants discussed it happily.

Even Fang Yuanzhi, who lives in a small house, heard it.She asked Zhu Jianshen very strangely: "Why do you have to put Lord Liu on fire?"

Zhu Jian said with confidence: "Fenghou is the pursuit of a military general all his life. In this way, it will not only set a good example for those eunuchs who are loyal to the emperor, but also give the Liu family a reassurance."

Fang Yuanzhi didn't understand, he didn't know what reassurance he was going to give the Liu family.However, important matters of the military and the country were beyond the reach of a woman like her, so she kept her mouth shut. (end of this chapter)
