Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

"Your Highness, this..."

Mao Ping really wanted to say that although Mrs. Jiang was indeed looking for trouble on purpose, Princess Huayang did not suffer any loss!

Moreover, all the ladies and ladies present were on the side of the princess. Not only did they buy many things in the shop, they also listened to the princess' words and, after some persuasion, submitted a memorial to impeach the Jiang family.

But when the words came to his lips, Maoping swallowed them.

His eyes fell on the incense stick in front of the prince.

His Highness loves all kinds of incense sent from the princess's shop and always lights them up whenever he has nothing to do.

"The Jiang family is so capable." Murong Xuan bent his fingers and tapped them lightly on the table, each tap making one's heart tighten unconsciously.

"I remember that last year there was a jade Buddha statue half the height of a man added to the Empress Dowager's palace. Was it presented by Minister Jiang?"

Last year, on the Empress Dowager's birthday, Minister Jiang presented this item, which not only opened everyone's eyes, but also made the Empress Dowager so happy that she couldn't let it go and worshipped it every day.

Mao Ping nodded: "Yes."

Now that His Highness has asked this question, then Minister Jiang is finished.

"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has also presented a lot of rare treasures." Murong Xuan's lips curled up slightly: "You said that there is no war on the border, and military expenses are rising every year, but during the years I was in Western Xinjiang, I saw with my own eyes that Lord Shen would use his private treasury to pay for military expenses from time to time. If no one was embezzling from it, how could this be possible?"

"This..." Mao Ping's eyes widened. Even if this crime could not affect the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it was enough to cause great damage to the Jiang family and even take the life of Jiang Zisheng, the Minister of War who separated from the family.

"I wanted to take advantage of the Spring Examination to make a move on the Ministry of Personnel. But who can blame the Jiang family for being so blind and insisting on making a move on my head?" Murong Xuan ordered: "The position of Minister of War should also be vacated. Pick someone that my father-in-law likes and treat it as an additional betrothal gift to Xiyue."

"Yes." Mao Ping let out a long sigh and couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his face.

His Highness is acting more and more ruthlessly now. This is not only about giving a big gift to Lord Shen, but also about slapping the face of the Jiang family and Queen Mother Jiang!

"The Jiang family is doing this for the position of the Crown Princess. What about the Qin family..." Murong Xuan pondered and said nothing for a while.

Maoping's heart was already trembling with fear. The Qin family, the Qin family is your Highness's in-laws!

Don’t be so cruel as to not even let your own uncle go!

He hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, the Qin family is your in-laws after all, and there is only one girl in this generation who was just brought back from the countryside, so they will definitely not have such thoughts. Besides, you and the princess are about to get married. If something happens to the Jiang family and the Qin family, I am afraid that the emperor will suspect the Shen family!"

He was not stopping His Highness from clearing the obstacles for the princess.

But if Your Highness makes a big move all of a sudden, it will most likely arouse suspicion and put you in a passive position.

Then by then, those followers that His Highness has just gathered will probably blame the Princess.

Murong Xuan glanced at Mao Ping and said, "When did I say I would take action against the Qin family? Uncle is a smart man, he will naturally understand what it means to kill a chicken to scare the monkey."

"Yes." Mao Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Alas, he really wanted to switch masters with Shuangye and ask Shuangye to serve His Highness!

The princess is smart and capable, but His Highness is no longer the prince who planned before taking action!

Whenever His Highness encounters something related to the princess, he becomes impulsive and cruel. I'm really afraid that if things continue like this, His Highness will become a tyrant!

"Keep a close eye on the fourth brother." Murong Xuan raised his eyebrows and gave another instruction: "Don't make any mistakes."

"Yes."

Mao Ping's expression was stern. This deal from His Royal Highness Prince Duan was a big deal.

-

Shen Xiyue still doesn't know about Murong Xuan's arrangements.

After returning to the Princess's Mansion, he chatted with his father and mother for a while, and talked about what happened today and his plans.

"...Dad, Mom, I've been doing business these days and have talked a lot with those women, and I've also found out a lot of information.

The military expenditure of our Western Xinjiang has always been managed by the Ministry of War, and the budget sent to the Ministry of Revenue is getting higher every year.

But over the years, the things the Ministry of War sent to the Western Xinjiang region have never changed. The silver is always just enough to pay the soldiers, and the weapons are always some unusable copper and rotten iron. They also say that if it is not enough, they can always request it.

Dad never petitioned for anything, so all the extra money went into the pockets of the Jiang family."

Shen Xiyue leaned in Madam Shen's arms, and said in a half-coquettish and half-serious tone, "So I thought that for the position of Minister of War, while Daddy is here, it would be best to let someone Daddy trust take the position."

Lord Shen widened his eyes and looked at his daughter in disbelief, huh?

What is Xiyue talking about?

Who can explain to him why his good daughter is now wanting to confiscate the property and exterminate the clan of the Minister of War?

But what Xiyue said made a lot of sense. Minister Jiang was indeed irrelevant.

Mrs. Shen was also slightly petrified. She looked down at her adorable daughter in her arms, shocked.

First, she was shocked that her daughter, who ran a spice shop, could find out so much news about the court. Second, she was shocked that her daughter's talk of meddling in court affairs was as simple as saying she wanted to have steamed egg custard tonight.

Mrs. Shen also grew up in the capital and knew the power struggles in the capital best. She was originally worried that her daughter would marry the prince, and that a tall tree attracts the wind, so she went back to the Song Mansion a few days ago and asked her brother to support the prince more in the court.

But that would only be to give more help to my daughter and the prince, instead of doing what my daughter did, which would expose a serious crime that would put someone to death.

Her delicate daughter had only been in the capital for a year, but she had already been trained to be so ruthless and fierce.

......It's really heartbreaking.

"Mom, Dad, is there anyone you like?" Shen Xiyue asked softly, as if she didn't notice the shock in her parents' eyes.

Madam Shen hadn't recovered from her shock yet, but Lord Shen quickly adjusted his thoughts and followed his daughter's pace: "The Third Princess's consort, Chen Yi, was also a member of our Shen Family Army. He is a loyal, brave and upright man."

Chen Yi was born in a poor family and originally planned to pursue a literary career. He passed the imperial examination and became a juren at a young age.

He was originally planning to continue taking the imperial examination, but that year the cavalry of Ye State invaded and the Shen family army had a hard time fighting the enemy. Chen Yi gave up his pen and joined the army. Once he entered the barracks, he was indeed brave. Later, the Shen family army defeated the Ye State and Chen Yi also made considerable military achievements.

After the war was settled, Chen Yi returned to Beijing and took the imperial examination again. He was later favored by the third princess and became her husband's daughter-in-law.

He just got the integrity of a military man, and would fight against anyone who disagreed...so his career was not smooth among the scholars, and now he is still working as an editor in the Hanlin Academy.

"The third princess's consort." Shen Xiyue blinked. This person is a good candidate.

She looked at Madam Shen, tilted her head and smiled: "Mother, you say, if the prince consort is promoted this time, then even the third princess will have to thank me."

Madam Shen coughed uncomfortably and couldn't help laughing: "The third princess's mother passed away early. Her maternal grandfather, the Duke of Ying, loved her granddaughter very much. If the third princess wants to thank you, then the Duke of Ying's mansion will also thank you."

My daughter has become increasingly good at accounting since she started her own business.

Shen Xiyue: "......"

Oh, that's a lot of money.
