The eldest grandson of Fu Guo Gongfu is really Zhu Jinan, and his mother, Mrs. Shizi, comes from the Liang family of Lindai Prefecture in Yibei Province.
The father of Mrs. Shizi was Liang Zhenghao, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment at that time. His eldest son, Zhu Jinan, was about to get married, and his fiancée was his mother's cousin.
In other words, this marriage is a closer relationship.
Zhu Jinan's quasi-father-in-law is Liang Yiheng, the censor of Zuoqiandu of the Supervisory Council, and their relationship is very complicated.
The prince looked around at the other people around the fourth prince, and suddenly found that the fourth prince was keeping quiet, and the people around him were already in important positions.
This discovery made him shudder.
Compared to the second and third children who were in the limelight, the fourth child was inconspicuous, but he had grown to the point where people were afraid of him.
However, the fourth child's mother-in-law, Concubine Rong, is the eldest daughter of the Fuguo Palace and has a distinguished status. It actually makes sense for those people to bet on the fourth child.
The fourth prince naturally received the news quickly.
"Mr. Wen, do you think this news is true?"
The fourth prince was skeptical about this news, but the fact that he had not seen the fifth prince recently made him have to doubt it.
Mr. Wen, the staff member, pondered for a moment, "I think this is true. Just because the fifth prince has not been seen for many days, we only need to send people to Beiyuan Mansion to investigate. But everything must be done first. If it is true,
Iron ore, I believe everyone wants a share of it."
"But what is currently embarrassing His Highness is whether it has been confirmed that there is iron ore, or has it just been sent over to inspect it? If it is the latter, I am afraid that even if we go there, we will be in vain."
The fourth prince frowned, "What's more, if His Highness goes there in person, my father will definitely be suspicious. The errand in hand has not yet been completed, and there is no way to leave."
Mr. Wen shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "If the imperial court wants to develop iron ore, it will definitely not be able to avoid those local snakes. If His Highness feels it is not safe, it is better to send someone to check it out before making a decision."
The fourth prince has a calm personality and never likes to make rash advances. But this time when he didn't treat others, he couldn't help but become impetuous.
"It's just that if we move slowly, the benefits will fall into the hands of others."
Mr. Wen paused, and then said: "This time the fifth prince is going in person. He really likes to make money. If we want to get some benefits from it, we still have to be sincere."
The fourth prince walked back and forth in the study, "Sir, do you mean that His Highness should go there in person? But this would be a bit deliberate."
Mr. Wen knocked the folding fan on his hand, and then said: "You have forgotten that the eldest grandson of the Fuguo Palace is getting married soon. His fiancée is from the Liang family of Lindai Prefecture in Yibei Province!"
When the fourth prince heard this, his heart suddenly moved, yes! How could he forget this?
"My Highness and he are direct cousins. How can he be without My Highness when he is getting married this time?"
The fourth prince made up his mind and thought about how to postpone the errand in hand.
"However, this news suddenly reached our ears. The person behind it must have ulterior motives."
The fourth prince thought for a long time, and then said: "I'm afraid someone is waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of this."
"In that case, you can stir the water even more." Mr. Wen said confidently while shaking his folding fan.
"Sir, do you have a candidate in mind?" the fourth prince asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Isn't there another idler there?" Mr. Wen pointed the folding fan in the direction of Beicheng and smiled mysteriously.
The fourth prince was shocked, "You mean Crown Prince Jing'an?"
He then shook his head, "But I heard that he is ill and cannot leave Fayuan Temple. He must stay with the purple dove flower."
"Didn't you say that you have already figured out how to grow purple dove flowers? You only need to bring the pills, so there is no need to worry too much, right?"
Mr. Wen knows that the purple dove flowers brought back from the Western Regions are difficult to survive, and not many of them are still alive.
Prince Jing'an's medicine must use purple dove flower, but a few days ago, Zhou Yinjian of Taiyuan Hospital had found the habits and characteristics of purple dove flower in ancient books.
No matter how harsh the planting conditions are, the survival rate is definitely much higher than before.
The fourth prince nodded and said: "As long as the Purple Dove Flower is no longer so rare and the decoction is enough, then Prince Jing'an will not need to absorb the pollen of the Purple Dove Flower all the time."
"But, will Father agree?"
My father has always been afraid of Prince Duan, and everyone in the government and the public knows this?
Is the father really relieved to release Crown Prince Jing'an from under his nose?
"Didn't you say before that the Emperor is suspicious of the Crown Prince? Isn't this an opportunity? The Emperor might also want to test it out. If the Crown Prince is with us, even if something goes wrong, we can blame him.
, this is more conducive to our actions and can also drive a wedge between him and the emperor."
A smile appeared on Mr. Wen's lips, which was exactly what he meant.
The fourth prince hesitated after hearing this. In fact, this was indeed a clever plan that would benefit him without any harm.
However, he and Zong Zeming still have some friendship. Would this be too ruthless?
When Mr. Wen saw the fourth prince's hesitant expression, he knew that the fourth prince couldn't bear it.
"Your Highness, this woman is extremely kind! Besides, we still can't figure out what King Duan is thinking. What's more, the prince is not as indifferent to government affairs as he appears. On the contrary, I feel that he has a plan and a deep plan.
Na!"
The fourth prince frowned, "Why do you see that?"
"Hmph! Do you think it was a coincidence that Judge Zhou found the ancient book? I'm afraid that the Crown Prince is under house arrest in Fayuan Temple and can't stand it any longer, right?"
Mr. Wen smiled mysteriously, and the fourth prince was suddenly shocked.
The ups and downs and turbulent events in the capital naturally have nothing to do with Su Yizhao. At this moment, she is fighting hard on the last day of the second provincial examination.
"Huh!" She breathed a sigh of relief and finished copying the answer to the last question!
I checked it carefully and found that there were no errors, so I set it aside to dry.
After every rain in autumn, the weather gets a little colder.
It rained again last night, and Su Yizhao had already put on two layers of unlined clothes.
Some candidates were shivering from the cold and could only wrap themselves up in thin quilts.
After Su Yizhao waited for the ink to dry, he rang the bell and prepared to leave the cell.
It had been raining for the past two days and the humidity in the dormitory was very heavy. She couldn't stay for a quarter of an hour and would rather stay in the hall.
It was the first one to hand in the paper again. While everyone was envious, they couldn't help but feel anxious in their hearts.
He carried the packed test basket in his hand. It was a little heavy, after all, there was still some uneaten rice.
Because the food in Fanggong Yuan was unclean and for fear of spoiling his stomach, Su Yizhao endured it and only bought vegetarian dishes once.
A piece of fried beans with turmeric and mash was just a small dish. Before it was delivered, the officer turned it over and over with chopsticks to inspect it several times.
After it was delivered, Su Yizhao completely lost his appetite.
There were still more than two days left, so Su Yizhao planned to wait until the third session and leave the Gongyuan as soon as the exam was over.
Fortunately, the weather was a bit cold, otherwise she would have felt like she was going rancid without taking a shower for so many days.
