Chapter 1226 Attitude

The next day, Zhou Shuren went to the Ministry of Revenue. The first thing he faced was the list of officials on leave. The first one was Mr. Xiao, who used old age as an excuse. Then it was Qiu Yan. Very good. After counting carefully, there were actually fifteen officials.

Zhou Shuren was feeling very depressed. The Ministry of Revenue was very busy. Not only did they have to calculate the silver today, they also had to calculate the silver collected from the confiscated property.

Zhang Jinghong himself had never expected that without Lord Qiu, he would become the only person Lord Zhou had a relationship with. He was surprised. What an opportunity! "Sir, this is the list of casualties sent by various departments."

Zhou Shuren took the folder and asked, "It was delivered so early?"

"The Ministry of Revenue's office is closed, so I'm guarding it."

Zhou Shuren sighed. Yesterday, not only were there people injured, but there were also casualties. On the way to the Ministry of Revenue today, he saw many mansions hanging white banners. All departments were under great pressure and urgently needed money to appease them.

Zhou Shuren, "Well, you will follow us to search the house later, and I will leave it to you."

Zhang Jinghong: "Yes."

Zhou Shuren listened to the much louder voice and raised his brows. The knife hanging over the Zhang family's heads was gone. Zhang Jinghong's spirit was different. He cut off the past yesterday and was reborn today.

Zhang Jinghong walked out of the house, raised his head and took a deep breath of the air after the rain, which was fresh and refreshing. Zhang Jinghong left quickly, and as he walked, he could still recall his wife's crying last night. The poison in his son was cured, and their family was safe.

He also got the prince's guarantee that they could live with dignity. It was so good to be alive.

In the palace, the emperor had no intention of taking over the government. He sat next to the prince and drank tea. The prince was discussing the war in the south with ministers such as the Ministry of War. The internal troubles had been solved, but there were still external threats.

The emperor's attitude reassured the ministers in the study, as the crown prince's succession to the throne was a sure thing.

The emperor waited for the prince to finish handling state affairs before speaking, "Rongchuan will be back in two days."

The prince said, "Yes, at this rate, we will be able to enter the capital in three days."

The Emperor put down the teapot and motioned for the Crown Prince to taste it. After his son tasted the tea, he spoke, "I will go to the Ningguo Mansion with your mother in a while. Rongchuan's identity has been exposed. This matter cannot be delayed."

The more he values ​​his son, the more he can let all officials know how much he cares about his son.

The prince said, "My son will go too."

The emperor raised his hand, "No, you go ahead and do your thing. By the way, the fourth child is able to move now. It is not appropriate for him to stay in the palace all the time. I have sent someone to send the fourth child back to the palace."

The prince felt bad, "My son didn't expect that Prince Liang would be injured."

The Emperor paused while turning the beads. The Crown Prince had been calling the Fourth Prince the Prince of Liang, not only to highlight his status, but also because the Crown Prince had not yet mentioned that the Fourth Prince was his younger brother. "No one can be perfect, and the result this time is already the smallest price to pay."

The prince knew that the injury of the prince must have left a mark on his father's heart. He sent the prince to cooperate, which was a merit. The injury was a merit. "My son asked the chief of the hospital to treat the prince and make sure that the prince recovered."

The emperor paused, "Hmm."

At Zhou Mansion, Xue Han was a little confused when she heard what her mother said, "Mom, did you not get enough rest?"

Zhulan pulled the concubine to sit down, "Rongchuan is the real fifth prince. The nephew looks like his uncle. Rongchuan's face is the proof, and the emperor has already found out a long time ago."

Xue Han still didn't believe it, "But the Ning family recognized Rongchuan."

"That was ordered by the Emperor. For Rongchuan's safety, after Zhang Jinghong's identity was exposed, there was a later comer named Zhang Yang, so he decided to return to the Ning family. And did you really not notice it?"

Xue Han was silent. Did she really not feel anything? Yes, the Queen was so good to her, so fond of her concubine, so caring towards Rong Chuan, and her husband was so distracted for a while. These were all proofs.

Xue Han's throat was dry, "Did Rongchuan know about this a long time ago?"

"No, he only found out later. You know, there are some traces that blood ties can't cover up."

Xue Han was still confused. Rong Chuan was the fifth prince. "Isn't my daughter the fifth prince's consort?"

This identity jump is quite big, she thought that being the marquis' wife with a big head would be her future, but now she has become the prince's consort!

Xue Han pinched herself hard, it wasn’t a dream, it was all real.

Zhulan looked at the young lady acting silly, she could understand, anyone would be silly in this matter, the young lady was able to remain calm now, it was already good enough.

The news that Rongchuan is the fifth prince has spread throughout the capital. Yesterday, there were too many things going on, so it didn't spread. Today, everyone wants to change their mind, so Rongchuan, the real fifth prince, has become the first choice.

Several branches of the Zhou family also knew about it. The eldest brother Zhou was a little hesitant. Li stretched out her hand and squeezed with all her strength.

Boss Zhou screamed in pain and jumped up, holding his inner thigh. It hurt so much, "What are you crazy about?"

Li came back to his senses, "It's not a dream."

"What the hell are you dreaming about? I think you're going to take revenge on me."

Li felt guilty. Well, she did feel guilty. Who had asked her husband to join forces with his youngest son to irritate her these days? She changed the subject, "I am the consort of the fifth prince. If Rongchuan is crowned as a king, I will be the princess. Oh, I never thought that I would be so lucky to have a princess sister."

Boss Zhou, "Your greatest blessing is probably marrying me, which is why you have the blessing you have today. Otherwise, if you had married someone else, you wouldn't be as prosperous as you are today."

Li was angry and pointed her fat finger at him, "You despise me? You are such a good Zhou Changli, you don't even have the title yet, and my parents are still the head of the family, and you despise me? You can't live like this anymore."

Boss Zhou, "."

Boss Zhou took a deep breath and ran away quickly. This woman wanted to take the opportunity to fight with him again. He could not afford to provoke her, but he could afford to hide from her.

Zhao and Su Xuan had already arrived at the main courtyard, but came back empty-handed.

Zhao asked, "Mother, where is my little sister?"

Zhulan said, "Just now, someone from the Ningguo Mansion came to pick up your younger sister and Linxi to return to the Mansion."

Su Xuan, "Return to the Duke's Mansion?"

Zhu Lan explained, "The Emperor and Empress are in the Duke's Mansion."

Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi still had a silly smile on his face. No matter people were talking about him behind his back or congratulating him sincerely, the expression on Chang Yi's face did not change much.

Gu Zhuomin was excited, "I heard that too. Congratulations."

On Changyi's way to the government office today, his father told him about it. He was prepared. "It can be said that good people are rewarded."

If my parents had not been kind-hearted, there wouldn't be a prince brother-in-law today.

Gu Zhuomin, "Good deeds will be rewarded."

The good deeds done by Lord Zhou have now borne the fruit of wealth. No, even without a prince as son-in-law, Lord Zhou has still achieved wealth through his own efforts.

Inside the prison, Zhang Yang raised his head when he heard the noise. In the empty cell, Zhang Yang huddled in a corner. Zhang Yang wanted to live, he didn't want to die. He stared at the direction of the cell door, waiting for someone to come.

Zhang Yang had just spent the night, his hair was disheveled, his body was dirty, and he was still a little nervous. When he saw the person coming, he wanted to go forward, but then he pulled back.
