The Submissive Emperor

As soon as this remark came out, the people behind the screen couldn't help but look at Wei's face together. Wei's face turned pale. She did indeed move her hands and feet. It was prepared for the beginning of the spring equinox next year, but how did Cheng Xiuru know the accounts of the previous year?

"The dowry of the son of the world cost 40 thousand taels. Before the end of the year, the income of the Zhuangzi and the shop will naturally be less." Wei took a deep breath and said coldly.

Cheng Xiuru took out the account book given by her second aunt, "This account is also an autumn account."

When Wei heard that Lou Jing had an account from the previous year, he immediately understood that this must be the hands and feet of the second aunt, and couldn't help but glared at it.

"Couldn't the madam count the silver in her dowry, right?" The second aunt was unhappy when she was divided into her wealth. Now she heard that Wei had secretly deducted so many silver taels, she couldn't help being even more annoyed and stared back without showing any weakness.

"You..." The Wei family hates others for talking about her dowry. Boss House of Yongning has been in decline in this generation. Her dowry is not even more than 10% of Lou Jing's mother. This is why these two wives look down on it. She ridicules from time to time.

The second uncle and third uncle also showed some dissatisfaction. See Zhang at the second uncle building frowning and saying: "Big brother, we are brothers, you are a prostitute, you could have two possessions, why are you still greedy for us?"

"It's really that Yan Wangye is not too thin!" The third uncle murmured.

Lou Jianyu felt very embarrassed, and immediately asked his accountant to reconcile Cheng Xiuru here, "It's right here, I want to see who is ignorant of the public's money."

As soon as the voice fell, I heard a maid's scream from behind the screen, "Madam!" Wei suddenly fainted, and the housekeeper beside him hurriedly held the person and pinched them.

"Grandpa, Madam passed out!" the little maid cried.

The eldest aunt stood up and looked at Wei's face, "Uncle, please get an emperor's doctor."

"Hmm..." Wei Clan woke up with a grunt.

"Bring the madam back to the room to rest." Lou Jianyu said like this, without any intention to ask a doctor. Wei is pregnant, if the imperial physician takes the pulse, wouldn't it be obvious?

After hearing this, everyone had a new understanding of the position of Mrs. Step in the heart of the grandpa.

At this time, the reconciliation is only for the general ledger, so Cheng Xiuru quickly reconciled the accounts. It was indeed because Lou Jing spent forty thousand taels to buy a dowry, but most of the missing 20 thousand taels were some small farms and shops that had been registered. Lou Jianyu's face was a little unsustainable, and he immediately dropped the money in his hands. Account book.

The public account is completed, and now you can start dividing the family property.

Cheng Xiuru had prepared everything a long time ago, except for the sacrifices to the fields and ancestral properties, which Zhuangzi had good harvests and which shops were making money, he was able to find out clearly.

"Subordinates have calculated it. Although these are less than 30%, they are all near the capital..." Cheng Xiuru took out a pamphlet from his arms and handed it to Lou Jing.

Looking at the posture of these two people, Lou Jianyu was obviously prepared. He was already ready to ask for 30% of the family property in the father-in-law, and he trembled with anger. Pick and choose?"

"Father's words are bad," Lou Jing smiled and handed the pamphlet in his hand to Lou Jianyu. "The son asked Mr. Cheng to pick these, but none of the best harvests, because his son has been living in the palace for a long time, so he can't control them. Far away."

In the imperial study room, Emperor Chunde and Zuo Xiang were still discussing the title.

The title of the prince is often related to the fief. For example, the king of Jin was placed in Jinzhou and the king of Shu was placed in the land of Shu. Of course, there are also people like the second prince Xiao Chengjin. Because of his poor health, he was granted the title of King Jing by living in Jingyi Mountain for a long time.

Then, if the crown prince is abolished, Xiao Chengjun's title will determine where his fief is located.

"When Jingnan returns to Beijing next month, there will be no one in the southeast. In the opinion of the ministers," Zhao Duan looked at Emperor Chunde's expression and tried to say, "It's better to have the King of Fujian."

Emperor Chunde was taken aback and frowned slowly. He confiscated the military power of the Jingnan delegation in order to weaken the queen’s mother’s family and contain the prince’s power. Now that he wants to abolish the prince, this kind of action is meaningless. On the contrary, it is the perpetual Japanese pirates in the southeast that no one guards can easily cause serious problems. . Now it is most appropriate to seal Xiao Chengjun in the southeast.

"The southeast is remote, and the thalassos are sparsely populated..." Emperor Chunde felt even more sorry for the prince at this time.

"Thalassaemia, just make the fief a little bigger." Zhao Duan said with his eyes down.

Emperor Chunde sighed and nodded slowly.

"Is the emperor planning this?" Zhao Duan asked unhurriedly, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were sweating layer by layer. This matter can't be delayed, he knows the king very well, as long as tonight is passed, someone will change his mind. Especially now that Emperor Chunde dominates the concubine Chen Guifei alone, he may have some moths when he goes to Luanyi Palace in the evening.

"Imitation!" Emperor Chunde had a rare resolute response, waved Zuo Xiang to write the decree in the imperial study room.

In the Anguo Gong’s mansion, because Lou Jianyu had a disagreement with Lou Jing on the shops and fields, everyone discussed it until noon, and the housekeeper prepared the meal on time. Lou Jianyu had no appetite at all, but Lou Jing was eating with relish. , And even added a bowl of rice.

"Lingnan has lychees, so it tastes great for making tea and making wine." After lunch, everyone sat and drank tea. When Cheng Xiuru and the others wrote down their accounts, the aunt said about Lingnan. "Every year when the lychees are ripe Houfu often cooks that. Freshly fried pork with lychees is the most delicious."

"I've also heard that the lychees in Lingnan are delicious, but it's a pity that you have to eat that kind of thing when you pick it off, and it will go bad after the night. We are afraid that we will not be able to eat it for a lifetime in this capital." Low, there is still some insight.

"It's not so good. It can be put in the water for two days." The big aunt smiled slightly, and talked about the landscapes and flowers of Lingnan. The second aunt and the third aunt both showed enviable eyes. They are in Beijing. A woman can't go far in her life, but Mrs. Pingjiang Hou is going to fight with her husband. From the capital to Lingnan, she is more knowledgeable than them.

"Uncle, didn't you say you brought me lychee wine?" Lou Jing smiled and asked the second uncle next to him when he heard the women talking behind the screen.

"Forgot yesterday." Xu Che looked at his nephew who started to beg for something again, and couldn't help laughing. "I know you like it. I brought two big altars. You remember to send some to the empress."

"When did the second uncle know these etiquette?" Lou Jing asked with a grin. The second uncle didn't get married even when he was too old. He went out to fight the Nanban and capture the bandits every day, so he knew this too?

"I was thinking, the queen grew up in the southeast, she should also like to drink lychee wine." The second uncle lowered his eyes and muttered in a low voice.

Lou Jing raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was indeed that Jingnan was stationed in the southeast, so Ji Jue should have grown up in the southeast when he was young. It would be a good idea to use lychee wine to please his father.

What we have to do today is to delineate the part of the property that Lou Jing wants, and let the three old ladies watch and testify. As for the detailed reconciliation and delivery, Cheng Xiuru will do it in the next few days.

After the directory was copied and the document was written at the Anguo Government, Lou Jing asked Le Xian to visit the Kyoto government office in person and pass the official seal of the document. The prefect heard that it was the prince's matter, so he took care of it without saying a word. Within two hours, Le Xian returned with the paper with the big seal.

The huge family business was divided in only one day. Lou Jing's thundering methods were seen by everyone in the Lou family, and when he looked at Lou Jing, he couldn't help but feel a little more jealous.

At dusk, Lou Jing returned to the East Palace happily.

At that time, it was already time to set up the meal, and I heard that His Royal Highness was in the Hall of Chongren, and told her that she would let her own meal without waiting for him. Lou Jing raised his eyebrows and filled the lychee wine in a jade pot to find his prince and husband.

"The edict has been drawn up, and the'King of Min' has been set, and tomorrow the dynasty will be announced to the world." Cai Yi pointed to the word "Min" on the table and said to Xiao Chengjun.

Xiao Chengjun nodded slightly, "Let Yang Youting transfer you to the sixth department." The official secretary Yang Youting is Cai Yi's uncle. It is not difficult to transfer his Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan affairs into the sixth department. Donggong came to make him qualified.

"His Royal Highness," Cai Yi knelt down immediately after hearing the words, "The minister is willing to follow the Royal Highness to the fief."

Xiao Chengjun waved his hand, "I know you are loyal, but you really shouldn't go to the southeast land."

Cai Yi walked to Chongren Hall with his head dull, and when he looked up, he was surprised when he saw the princess standing in front of the door. In the East Palace, no one would block the way of the princess, so they had no way of knowing how long Lou Jing had been standing in front of the door.

"Master Cai." Lou Jing greeted him with a smile, and there was nothing wrong with Yan Li's smile.

Every time Cai Yi saw the prince, he felt an indescribable sense of danger, and even some did not dare to look directly into the eyes of those Canruo Han stars, and left after a hurried salute.

"Why did you come?" Xiao Chengjun folded the paper with the word "Min" in his hand and put it on the candle to burn it. He didn't return to the Eight Phoenix Palace tonight, he wanted to be alone, but he didn't expect it. The prince concubine actually found it again.

The Chongren Hall was very empty, and the candlelight stretched Xiao Chengjun's shadow very long, looking very lonely.

"The lychee wine given by my uncle, I want to find a drink from your Highness." Lou Jing shook the white jade pot in his hand and walked slowly to the side of His Royal Highness.

When Xiao Chengjun turned his head, he saw his princess looking at him with a faint smile, a pair of beautiful eyes flickering in the candlelight with a deep fire, and there was a moment of silence, "Have you heard all of them?"

"What did you hear?" Lou Jing put the hip flask on the small table and leaned to the front of the Prince's Hall. "The ministers always listened only to His Royal Highness."

Xiao Chengjun sighed deeply and slowly said, "The emperor has already drafted an edict, and my position as a prince is about to abolish."

Lou Jing was silent, and said for a long time: "Didn't Your Highness have planned like this a long time ago?"

His Royal Highness the prince had already said that the phoenix nirvana and rebirth from the ashes is to tell him that if it is a last resort, the emperor will abolish him and find another way. These days, the DPRK is not peaceful, but Lou Jing did not expect that the prince would be abolished so soon.

Xiao Chengjun was stunned, and suddenly clenched his fists in his sleeves, his voice calmly said: "I have really wronged you this month. When I tell the world, you and I will no longer be a husband and wife." It turned out that I was worried too much. ...

Lou Jing nodded slightly, his voice was a little low, "I know."

In the world, only the emperor and the prince can marry male wives. Once they lose the position of prince, the marriage contract between them will be innumerable. Lou Jing can restore his status as the son of Anguo, and can still inherit the throne of Anguo, marry a wife and have children. . And Xiao Chengjun can also marry the princess, even if he reverts, marrying the princess does not necessarily marry Lou Jing, he can marry another man.

"From then on, we will return from the bridge to the bridge, return to the road, and conquer the concubine, you must not make peace." Xiao Chengjun turned around, looked at the dragon pattern carved on the red pillar with his hand, and no longer looked at Lou Jing.

The Anguo government is a family of hairpins. With Lou Jing’s ability, even if he does not have the power of the dragon, no matter who becomes the emperor, he is the target to win. With such a patriarch, the Lou family will definitely continue to be prominent. There is no need to follow him, the abandoned prince, to be frightened.

Lou Jing looked at Xiao Chengjun's back and was silent.

"Of course, if you are willing to continue to be my courtier, I don't want to give up such talents as you, but you have to think clearly." Xiao Chengjun held his breath, no matter how the people behind him responded, they were destined to not surpass the monarchs and ministers. Foreign feelings.

"Thank you, your pity," Lou Jing said flatly, turning around and walking outside the hall.

Listening to the footsteps behind him, Xiao Chengjun slowly closed his eyes, feeling as if a piece of it had been dug away in his heart, and was so empty that he felt painful.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps approached, and before Xiao Chengjun could turn around in the future, he was turned over with a strong force and pressed heavily on the red pillar.

His back knocked to the hard pillar, Xiao Chengjun snorted, and was about to look up. He was pinched by the back of his neck and kissed his lips fiercely. "Um..." His Royal Highness couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The thin, cool lips tightly locked the prince's warm lips, tossing and grinding, Lou Jing pinched the man's jaw roughly, forcing him to open his mouth. The sweet milk scent filled the tip of his tongue in an instant, Lou Jing continued to deepen with some fascination, sweeping back and forth on the soft inner wall, plundering all the taste of the milk and honey, and then slowly separated.

"You..." Xiao Chengjun gasped, and the stormy kiss almost took his breath away.

Lou Jing leaned on the pillar with one hand, circled His Royal Highness in his arms, and slowly rubbed the somewhat red lips with his thumb, "His Royal Highness has always abandoned it, and he deserves to be punished."

"The beginning of chaos and the end of abandon?" His Royal Highness could not react.

"What did you say before? After enthroned, let me stay. Now that you haven't enthroned, you don't want me?" Lou Jing said aggrievedly.

"I..." Xiao Chengjun blinked, and finally realized that his princess did not want to be separated from him! A huge surprise came surging forward, stunned for a long time, and couldn't help sighing, "You... why bother?"

Lou Jing took up a hand of the prince that hung down on his side, rubbed the tightly clenched fist, and attached it to his chest, "I don't want to be like this. If I live the same way, I will be at ease. No matter who he is the emperor, I, Lou Jing, will surely be able to keep the Lou Family III unfailing... But if you want to leave you, it hurts so much here."
