Zhou Shuren got up and turned around twice, "You're right that there is no wind and no waves, maybe the queen is really sick, you didn't ask the girl?"
"Xuehan hasn't entered the palace recently. You know it's cold. Xuehan is afraid that Xia'er will be ill, so she doesn't dare to leave Xia'er."
Zhou Shuren sat down and said, "The emperor didn't respond, which means two points. The first queen's illness is not serious, and the second queen's condition is clear to the emperor, and he was mentally prepared very early."
"I prefer the latter."
Zhou Shuren also thought so, "Hey, the queen is currently living a good life for the crown prince and the court."
Once the queen is not good, it will grow the ambition of the harem, and the current stable court situation will be broken.
Zhulan, "The queen is ill, and Concubine Hui has become the most conspicuous person in the harem. The Wang family has two princes, and they got a job in the pharmacy. Now the pharmacy is prosperous and eye-catching, these are all targets."
Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean, someone took advantage of the Queen's illness to attack Concubine Hui?"
"It's either Concubine Hui or the Wang clan. As for the prince, he still doesn't dare. This is the emperor's bottom line, but after his ambitions expand, someone will step on the bottom line sooner or later."
Zhou Shuren sighed, once the bottom line was breached, the opening would not be able to close.
In the following days, there were more rumors about the queen. It was rumored that the queen was seriously ill, as if the queen would die soon.
The rumor didn't go away until the queen met a few wives.
Rong Chuan also returned to Beijing at this time. When the couple came to Hou's Mansion, Zhu Lan saw Rong Chuan's brows furrowed.
Seeing her mother's appearance, Xuehan said, "Mother, you found it too, it would be nice for him to go back to the house, Xia'er would cry when she saw him."
"Rong Chuan suffered a lot in the grasslands."
How many people have been killed by this evil spirit?
Rong Chuan tried his best to restrain his breath, "Mother, I'm not fierce in the grasslands and can't hold back people. On the way back to Beijing, I've been trying to restrain myself, but I still haven't completely restrained myself. I'm going to live in Huguo Temple for a few days."
Otherwise, the daughters and daughters are a little afraid of him, not to mention Xia'er, who doesn't understand anything. Children are the most sensitive. The younger son will cry when he sees him, but he will be frightened. The younger son's lungs are not good.
Zhulan agreed, "It's really time to go and live."
Xuehan was a little reluctant, but she couldn't help it, "Mother, Rong Chuan can come back early because of Brother Wu Ming."
Zhulan looked at Rong Chuan, "It seems that Wu Ming helped a lot."
Rong Chuan nodded, "Well, with Brother Wu Ming's help in the later stage, the division of the prefecture went a lot smoother, and I no longer need to be in charge. Speaking of which, I also came back with a mission."
"Can you tell me about your mission?"
Rong Chuan nodded, "Yes, the grasslands are hard in winter, and the winter is cold and lacks firewood. The soldiers stationed there can't stand it. I came back with a letter of request."
Zhulan thought to herself, this is why she came back to ask for money. This year, the army has been withdrawn one after another, but there are still many soldiers stationed there. Everything is for stability, and military supplies cannot be saved.
Rong Chuan talked about the hardships of the grasslands, the lack of padded clothes and charcoal fire, and it was too hard in winter.
In the afternoon, Zhou Shuren of the Ministry of Household saw his son-in-law, and after reading the document with the corners of his mouth raised, the curvature of the corners of his mouth disappeared, "This should be given to me by the Ministry of War."
"Ah, the Minister of Military Affairs asked me to take you."
Zhou Shuren knew, "The military demand has skyrocketed in the past two years."
It was easy to go up and hard to come down. He really had a headache.
Rong Chuan touched his nose, "I heard that the Ministry of War sent a lot of documents."
Zhou Shuren pointed to the stack on the table, "It's all from the Ministry of War. The temperature has dropped dramatically this year, and they all need cotton and charcoal fire."
Rong Chuan was serious, "Father, there is a shortage of cotton this year?"
"Well, the cotton merchant has some squeezed cotton. I have already bought some in the name of the imperial court, but it is not much. The imperial court still has some cotton saved from the snow disaster. The latter cannot be moved, and the former is not enough."
"I would like to donate some, but it's a pity that this year Zhuangzi has grown food."
Zhou Shuren, "How much can you personally donate? I know that the grasslands are difficult, and they have worked really hard this year. I know it well."
Rong Chuan knew in his heart, "Father, it's not that I sold badly. The soldiers in the grasslands are really suffering, and the ointment for frostbite is also in short supply."
Zhou Shuren hummed, "I know that you and the soldiers shared weal and woe in the grasslands, but now that you are back in the capital, you are still a prince without military power. You have done what you should do, so go to Huguo Temple tomorrow."
Rong Chuan's heart warmed, "Father, I know what I know, and I won't let the emperor be jealous."
"Just be clear."
The next day, Rong Chuan left Beijing early in the morning to go to Huguo Temple. After seeing the master, he sat in meditation and chanted Buddha.
The emperor shook his head after hearing this, "I still have a lot to ask him, he's going to leave quickly."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "I heard from my wife that the children of King Qin were afraid of him when he came back, so scared that King Qin didn't dare to lean on the children, so he could only peek at the children, and King Qin couldn't be anxious."
The Emperor, "Don't talk about the children, even I was taken aback."
Zhou Shuren's heart skipped a beat, "Hey, I'm still young and don't know how to restrain suffocation. It's not like a general who has been on the battlefield for a long time can take it freely. King Qin lacks too much."
"Your demands on King Qin are too high."
Zhou Shuren looked good for his son-in-law, "The minister's requirements are actually not high, it's good to be safe. Hey, King Qin was too hard when he was a child, and now the minister still thinks about the past from time to time."
The Emperor, "It's all over."
Zhou Shuren's heart slowly loosened, he was afraid that the emperor would be jealous of Rong Chuan, and he had a lump in his heart Fortunately, the emperor did not have this idea. After a few days, let his daughter personally tell Rong Chuan to stay in Huguo Temple. It's New Year's Eve, don't come out before the year.
The emperor talked about the business, "This year's farming is good, the yield of the land reclaimed is not high, and it can be considered that the prescribed output has been completed. I want to expand the land reclamation next year, and I feel uneasy in the past two years."
Zhou Shuren had no objection, "Your Majesty Shengming."
As for Wen's grandson being able to complete the task, he wasn't surprised. Wen's grandson was a waste, but the person he brought with him would not be useless.
Thinking about it this way, when I sent the grandson of Wen's family over, this move was too right. See how much the Wen family cares.
After a quarter of an hour, Zhou Shuren left the palace, and his steps were a lot lighter. This year, there was no major disaster in the country, and the food was stored in the warehouse. .
The next day, the morning court ended, and Zhou Shuren rarely stayed behind, so Li Zhao came over and asked, "When will you release the money?"
Zhou Shuren, "Go back and have someone come over."
Li Zhao was surprised, "So happy to give it?"
Zhou Shuren snorted, "When did I not give it to you when I was rich? I don't have any money, you care what I want, how can I give it to you?"
It's not that he tried to find a way to exchange money everywhere, he felt sorry for himself when he thought about it.
Li Zhao smiled dryly, "Those who are able work harder."
Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes, "I want to rest more."
Li Zhao touched his nose, Zhou Shuren's two years were indeed not easy, it was very obvious that this old man had aged for two years.
