Chapter 7
Seeing him leaving like this, the Queen Mother closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When he was far away, she said dissatisfiedly: "This emperor really doesn't pay attention to me, the Queen Mother, and he doesn't even listen to my words. If he doesn’t want to make Yan’er his queen, can his uncle and I still harm him?”

Aunt Cui stood aside and comforted: "Sooner or later, the emperor will understand the Queen Mother's painstaking efforts."

"Hey..." The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, looked at the colorful butterflies chasing each other in the courtyard and said, "It would be great if Ye'er were the emperor. He would definitely respect me as a queen mother, understand my heart very well, and listen to my words."

Ye'er, named Fengcheng Ye, was the sixth prince of the late emperor and the younger brother of Feng Chenghan. After he was crowned, he was granted the title of King of Night and went to his fiefdom of Qingzhou.

Aunt Cui's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly whispered: "The Queen Mother, you can't say such things!"

Now the second prince is the emperor. If these words reach the emperor's ears, what will the emperor think?
The Queen Mother frowned and said: "I am just talking casually in my own palace. I will just stop talking about it in the future."

Comparing her two sons, the one she likes best is the younger son who has been close to her since childhood and listens to her. She also wants her younger son to be the emperor.But since ancient times, this has always been done by establishing a direct descendant, and the late emperor was more interested in Han'er, and made Han'er the prince, allowing him to inherit the throne.

After King Chang'an returned to his residence, someone came to visit him.

Several officials from the Chang'an King's faction in the study looked at the Chang'an King worriedly and said, "Your Majesty, what do you plan to do about Jiangzhou?"

In the past, civil servants were sent to handle such matters, but today the emperor sent King Chang'an to go. The emperor probably knew that King Chang'an was also involved, which made them and those of the same faction uneasy.

King Chang'an took a sip of tea and snorted: "This good nephew of mine is trying to beat me up! Since he sent me, I will naturally handle this matter smoothly."

His nephew probably knew that Jiangzhou was his territory and that this matter was related to him, so he sent him to Jiangzhou.

But even though his nephew knew it was related to him, he didn't dare to touch him and could only beat him like this.

After all, he is his uncle, and he has been helping him since he ascended the throne. Without him, his throne would not be so stable.

The Minister of Household Affairs whispered: "But we..." We also have a share!

The money for the river embankment not only went into the pockets of the prefect of Jiangzhou, but they also took some of it, and the bulk of it was still taken by the King of Chang'an.If things are done smoothly, wouldn't they also be involved?

King Chang'an smiled and said: "I will make the Jiangzhou magistrate spit out all the money he has spent on corruption."

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt relieved.

"That's right, the one who is greedy for money is the prefect of Jiangzhou. He should naturally spit out the money."

The prince obviously planned to push out the Jiangzhou magistrate and let him bear all the blame alone.As long as the Jiangzhou magistrate admits all the blame, they will naturally not be implicated.

"But..." King Chang'an glanced at the people in the study, "No matter how much you have eaten from Jiangzhou's embankment money, you have to spit it out. You heard it in the court today. The money that was corrupted by corruption, this king We have to get them all back.”

Everyone's expressions changed. You looked at me, I looked at you, but they didn't say anything. Who would be willing to spit out the money that was in their stomachs?

The minister of the Ministry of Industry rolled his eyes and said: "It is said that three years to clean up the prefecture, and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. The prefect of Jiangzhou should be able to make up for the little we eat."

To consolidate the Jiangzhou embankment, the imperial court allocated 20 taels of silver.The king of Chang'an ate 1 taels, and each of them ate 8 taels. The remaining 10,000 taels went to the hands of the prefect of Jiangzhou.It is estimated that the Jiangzhou prefect also ate half of it, which is [-]+ taels of silver. The Jiangzhou prefect spent five years in Jiangzhou and plundered an unknown amount of money. He can definitely make up for this small amount of money.

"Yes! Yes!" Minister Tobe also nodded in agreement.

King Chang'an narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "If the Jiangzhou magistrate has to make up for it, will he be willing to plead guilty?" After the Jiangzhou magistrate confessed, he would be escorted to Beijing and handed over to the three divisions for trial.If he gave away all the money and left no money for his wife and children, would he be willing to carry it all alone?

Jiangzhou Prefect: Let everyone eat, and I will bear the blame alone. I quit!
The others were silent for a while, and then the Minister of Works said, "I will have the money delivered tomorrow."

"The official will also send it tomorrow."

"Your subordinate also..."

Everyone agreed to deliver the money tomorrow, and then left through the back door of Chang'an Palace.

After the officials left, King Chang'an got up and went to the backyard to see his precious grandson.

King Chang'an arrived at Lingyunxuan all the way. As soon as he entered the courtyard, the maids in the courtyard hurriedly knelt down and saluted him.

"My lord."

"Is the Crown Prince here?" King Chang'an asked.

A maid said: "Your Majesty is not here, so he went out after breakfast."

"Hmph." The King of Chang'an snorted coldly. Qi Ji, a brat like this, is not good at literature or martial arts. He is already a father. He is still idle all day long. He only knows how to run out and have fun. The Qi family cannot rely on him. .

"Bring Lin'er here to show me." King Chang'an said as he walked towards the flower hall.

"Yes." The maids straightened up.

A maid entered the inner room of the main house and said to the young woman lying on the bed: "Your Majesty, the prince has come to see the young master again."

Qin Ruyun raised her eyelids and said to the nurse holding the child: "Take the young master over here!"

Her Lin'er was not the only grandson in the Qi family, but her father-in-law was particularly fond of Lin'er.Not only did he name her in person, he also came to see Lin'er almost every day.Lin'er is so favored, which makes her, a mother, feel that mother is more valuable than son.

The wet nurse carried the child into the flower hall, and King Chang'an quickly took it over. Seeing that his grandson was asleep, he gently held his grandson and sat on a chair.Looking at his grandson's sleeping face, the corners of his mouth raised. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

On the day Lin'er was born, he was born with a strange phenomenon. It was a sunny day and suddenly there were dark clouds, thunder and heavy rain.Just two-quarters of an hour after Lin'er landed, the rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the sky was clear again.

Later, he heard from people in the palace that Qin Tianjian had gone to the Chengming Hall to report to the emperor that day, saying that there was a natural vision and that an auspicious sign guarding the Tianyuan Kingdom had come into the world.

The emperor didn't believe this and said it was nonsense. He also said that summer thunderstorms come and go quickly and are not a vision at all, let alone an auspicious arrival.

However, he believed it and firmly believed that his precious grandson was that auspicious person.

After his grandson was born, he also had some bold ideas.

His grandson was born auspiciously. Does it mean that God wants them to sit in a high position as a family?
