Battle of the Red Mansions

Just listening to their prince's tone, he could tell that he was not in a good mood now, Chang Yuan firmly pressed Chang Heng to prevent him from approaching him to seek abuse, and then hid tremblingly, hoping that Master Lin would not say anything surprising.

Does this master know what his prince thinks? Let's not talk about it. Even if there is no one close to his prince, no one has ever dared to talk about it in his ear.

Even when the emperor talked about letting their princes get married, he only mentioned a few words when the princes were in a good mood. It's good now, you have nothing to do, but you should leave a way for their followers.

Their prince's temper is really, really, really not as good as it appears on the surface!

Looking at Tu Jingyang with a frowning face, Chang Yuan couldn't help but tremble, and Chang Heng also became frightened.

"Second brother, don't do this, I'm afraid."

Whispering behind Chang Yuan, Chang Heng smoked it a few times but didn't get it back. If it was only him, he would still be able to run when the prince got angry, but now there is one more person and he can't even hide.

Second brother, a dead brother will not die a younger brother!

Standing there with a stern face, Chang Yuan didn't look back, but he also spit out a few words through his teeth, "Don't go, the second brother is also scared."

A-Gump, who had no idea what the two of them were worried about, stood by and looked at this and then that, frowning and seemed to feel that what their master said just now was a bit inappropriate.

However, even if the prince is angry, it is their master who should be punished. Why are these two people so afraid?

Prince Ning'an has such a good temper, and he doesn't have too much airs on weekdays, and he has never seen the two of them so nervous!

Completely out of the situation, A-Gump also retreated a little to the side, no matter what, it was right to follow them.

Lin Xuan almost tore his fan off with a single sentence, the smile on his face could no longer be held, Tu Jingyang pursed his lips and stopped talking, feeling that his temper has been too good recently, that's why this guy is so presumptuous that he dares to say anything.

This person is not young anymore, if he can get enlightened right away, he doesn't mind bringing him directly to Brother Huang, but in the current situation, can he wait for this person to become enlightened in his life?

Somewhat worried about his future, Tu Jingyang's face was dark, thinking about what he would do if Lin Xuan really didn't get the hang of it.

Can he really watch this man get married and have children?

Looking at the teacup with downcast eyes, Tu Jingyang suddenly realized that from the very beginning, he only thought that child was fun, and now this person has grown into a young man who can be relied on by a family. As long as this person is by his side, he can't move at all open sight.

Although he himself gave himself a reputation for breaking his sleeves, before that, he had no idea that he would really like a man.

How did things become like this?

Tu Jingyang's expression was too complicated, Lin Xuan couldn't understand it, and didn't dare to look again.

Scratching her head embarrassingly, Lin Xuan was keenly aware of the danger, shrank back, and then decisively changed the subject.

Single old men can't tease casually, or accidents will easily happen. He is timid, so let's avoid it.

Not far away, Feng Yuan had already comforted the crying little girl, and then left here with his servants.

Lin Xuan watched them leave, and sighed that this girl has a home, and Rongguo Mansion will lose one poor person in the future! Bah, so many changes have been made, it is uncertain whether Rongguo Mansion can make a fuss, he is here What are you worrying about.

He himself is a variable, and this world is no longer the orthodox Dream of Red Mansions.

Originally, he was thinking of bringing people out for a walk, but unexpectedly, there was such a sudden appearance. Looking at Lin Xuan who lowered his head and said nothing, Tu Jingyang could only shake his head helplessly. Forget it, he brought people out by himself. Who is to blame for such a thing?

The bear child is so old and doesn't know how to grow snacks. Fortunately, he said so by his side. If someone else heard this, this kid might have been dragged out and beaten.

In his heart, he said to himself many times not to be angry, not to be angry, Tu Jingyang took a deep breath, then put down the teacup and asked Changyuan to pay and prepare to leave.

Seeing that Tu Jingyang's face was no longer so gloomy, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then rubbed his face and walked out.

"Although the officials in Jinling City are not satisfactory, the people in the city are very simple. I just walked a little, and there are still many places I haven't seen."

Although Prince Ning'an's Mansion was in the capital, he didn't usually stay there much. He had been to Jinling before, so compared to Lin Xuan who only stayed in Yangzhou and Gusu except for the war, he was familiar with it.

Ignoring all the messy things that happened just now, Tu Jingyang walked slowly, and then told Lin Xuan about the scenery of Jinling City bit by bit.

Just nervous for a while, seeing that Tu Jingyang didn't talk about what happened just now, Lin Xuan gradually relaxed and concentrated on looking at the interesting things on the side of the road.

After talking for a while, Tu Jingyang suddenly remembered something, then turned to look at Lin Xuan, "Ah Xuan, General Xie has nothing to do at the moment, do you want to stay here for a while?"

Even if he is not in Jinling, he can go to Yangzhou or the capital. If he goes to the northwest, he can't follow him. It's already May, and if he can, maybe he can catch up with this person's birthday.

It was fine if he didn't know before, but now that he knows, we can't just let him pass by as usual.

I don't know what Tu Jingyang was thinking, Lin Xuan refused without thinking, "I can't waste any more time, it's an unexpected joy to be able to stay at home for two months, if I stay there again, it will be the autumn harvest, although The foreigners were beaten badly, but if they don’t have enough food, they will still punish the border residents.”

It's time to earn military merits, how could he stay in this gentle village in the south of the Yangtze River.

His Tiance Army has only been established for a short time, and if the main general is not around, he may be relieved. God knows how hard he has spent to get this less than a thousand soldiers from their generals.

If he is not in the army for a long time, I'm afraid they will forget the things he taught before. Tiance's army and Xie's army are not on the same path. not the day he expected

Instigate the army.

Getting soldiers to change their training methods is always more difficult than training recruits. If possible, he should tell the general to keep some recruits for him when recruiting troops this winter.

Lin Xuan's attitude is very clear, he stays here to cause more trouble than to do the real thing, it is better to let him go back to the Northwest to train troops, after two years the strategy will be effective, if the foreign race dares to commit crimes again, he will let him Everyone in the world can see that the horsemanship of the original people is not as good as those of the foreigners.

His eyes dimmed a little, Tu Jingyang pursed his lips, and then he still led people to play.

That's right, his mind is all on the army, and his own affairs have not yet been settled. Although he can walk around, he can't go that far.

Forget it, let him see if this person is another Xie Qiong!

General Xie is so powerful in the northwest that he has already reached the point where children can't cry among the people on the border. If Ah Xuan can reach this level in the future, how can he have the heart to keep people in the small plain?

The general is not a safe official. Since ancient times, I have only seen beauties in old age, but I have not seen the general with gray hair. General Xie can be so bold to lead the army outside because of the wiseness of his royal brother, but we can't put all our hopes on their royal brother.

In case the emperor's brother listens to the slander and distrusts the generals one day, he must be able to persuade the emperor's brother.

He has found the right position for himself, and Tu Jingyang is not too entangled. He can see that Lin Xuan only wants to lead the army, and he has no bad intentions. Then find time to go to the northwest.

When the lights came on, the two finally walked the whole street and went back to their rooms satisfied. Tu Jingyang didn't go to bed right away, but took out the list of Jinling officials that Changyuan found out.

"My lord, this one can be found by everyone on the surface, but our people summed up the one below." He whispered the difference between the two books, and Changyuan added another lamp. Then he stood quietly by the side without speaking.

Looking at the names on the zhezi, the corners of Tu Jingyang's lips became more and more curved, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more serious, "As expected of a rich place far away from the capital, where officials and officials protect each other, and officials and businessmen collude, it is worthy of the emperor's rectification Determination."

Because of what happened during the day, the name of Cao, the thief on Zhezi, was emphatically circled, and by the way, his contacts with other officials and Jinling businessmen were drawn out.

It's no wonder that he sentenced that girl to Xue Pan without asking anything today. After collecting so much money from Xue's family, how dare he not take it seriously?

The Patriarch of the Xue family had just left shortly after his illness worsened because of his clan brothers fighting for power and profit. Xue Pan blatantly bought maids, and the thief Cao only followed his wishes. From this, it can be seen that the Xue family's teaching children really don't have any rules.

The Royal Merchant really did it this time.

The country has always been in deficit, either by oppressing the people or raising taxes. There are only a few ways for the court to collect money. If you want to keep one, you have to abandon the other.

After the extravagance of the court of the Supreme Emperor, the country has long since bottomed out. Although he has been making up for it all these years, it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the previous deficit.

If it wasn't like this, Brother Huang wouldn't have given up on the Jiangnan officialdom when he was just settled outside the customs. All the money was burned in the war. If there is no income, the courtiers' salaries will not be able to pay.

Since corruption is rampant in the officialdom, and they don't feel bad about sending their money out, they can just refill the country directly, so that it can benefit the people and kill two birds with one stone!

Putting the things down, Tu Jingyang stretched his muscles and bones, "How is the Xue family doing now? Mr. Xue is still thinking about robbing the maid today. It seems that the Xue family's business has not suffered any blow."

"Patriarch Xue left a lot of things for their mother and son. Even if someone came to snatch them, Madam Xue would not hand them over easily. Now there is a stalemate over there, and nearly half of the shop has been turned into money." Chang Yuan shook He shook his head, and then explained, "It's just that the Xue family is uneducated, he only spends money and doesn't take family matters to heart."

Patriarch Xue's thoughts are usually on the family business, and the children are fully taught by the patriarch's wife. After all these years, he has become such an unreasonable uncle who only thinks about himself.

"The Xue family doesn't have many skills. Now that the owner is gone, they all want to sell the shop to get money. After all, they don't have the skills to support such a big business." Changyuan pointed to the account book that was put aside, and then continued Said, "However, the Xue family is not without the idea of ​​being an imperial merchant. The Xue family is so big that it can always find one or two capable people. The sixth master of the Xue family who has been running business in various places is also here these days." Jin Ling didn't leave."

After Chang Yuan finished speaking, Tu Jingyang nodded, "Then let them grab it first. If the store can be closed, it will be closed, and if it can't be closed, it will be released first. It's not the most important thing after all."

Xue's family has too much contact with the officialdom, even if they can't get it out, it doesn't matter if it is confiscated or it will be under his name, anyway, they will all go to the country in the end.

In this case, there is no need for him to rush to spend money, after all, raising an army costs much more than other things.

Ah Xuan's Tiance Army needs both horses and guns, and when fighting against foreigners, ordinary horses can't get him in the eye. In this way, it is definitely not enough to use the court's account in the open.

He should be more careful at this time, when the time comes, he can not only keep his royal brother from being buried by the household department's booklet, but also let Ah Xuan have food, grass and horses, why not do it?
