Chapter 1232 Rongchuan's Thoughts

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan looked at each other, and Zhou Shuren asked, "What's the matter?"

Xue Han looked at Rong Chuan, and Rong Chuan repeated what he had said in the Duke's Mansion, "That's what happened."

Zhulan finally understood why the girl hesitated to speak, "Inheritance?"

Rongchuan looked at his father-in-law, feeling uneasy. He originally planned not to return to the royal family, which was fine. However, his mother said that his father had already drafted a title for him. He realized his mother's desire and he had no choice but to return to the royal family.

After listening to his father's promise, his plan became clearer. In his private letter, he still hoped that his third uncle would have a successor and fulfill his uncle's father-son relationship with him.

So today he told his third uncle and grandfather about his idea, and he still left the choice to them. He clearly saw the surprise in his third uncle's eyes.

He can now recall the emotions in his eyes when his third uncle saw him today, and when he heard his third uncle's choice, the stone in his heart finally loosened.

But in his heart, his father-in-law is also his father, and he was afraid that his father-in-law would not agree, and Xue Han was also involved.

Zhou Shuren's eyes were gentle. He was pleased with Rongchuan's loyalty. Rongchuan would be a prince in the future, and there was nothing wrong with loyalty. Seeing Rongchuan looking at him eagerly, he laughed, "Am I an unenlightened person?"

Rong Chuan shook his head violently, grinning, "Dad is the most reasonable person."

Zhou Shuren said, "I have no objection to you and Xue Han's second son being adopted, but you can't have children just by saying so. Xue Han just gave birth to Lin Xi, so you can't have children continuously, and there's no guarantee that the next child will be a son. Do you understand what I mean?"

Rong Chuan said seriously, "I understand. I have made it clear to my third uncle that if he doesn't have a second son, as long as I have one, this child will still be the successor. If I don't have a second son, my third uncle said that the title will be taken back by the royal family."

Zhou Shuren knew what Rong Chuan was thinking, so he had nothing to say. "Have you mentioned this to the Emperor?"

Rongchuan said, "Before leaving the palace today, I told my father and mother, and they both respected my wishes."

Zhulan looked at the concubine. She had never adopted a child, so she had no experience. Li did have experience, but she was more generous. After she knew that she could treat Mingteng well and would not leave home, she completely let go.

But the daughter-in-law was different. She was a thoughtful daughter-in-law, and she still felt bad after adopting her son.

Xue Han did feel bad when she first heard it, but then she thought about how good her third uncle was to them, and that her husband had discussed the matter with her in advance, but gave up on the idea because she didn't nod. She felt much better.

In the palace, the Queen and the Emperor were playing chess. They mentioned Rongchuan's idea. The Queen said, "At that time, I felt that Rongchuan wanted to stay in the Ning family. I kept telling him that I was looking forward to his return. We are a family. Even though I knew that the Third Brother treated Rongchuan as his own son, as a mother, I still hope that my child gets what he deserves."

The Queen has not seen anyone from the Ning family since the coup. Doesn't the third brother want to make a final struggle? What she wants is that she has cut off all the roads, and her father and the third brother will understand.

Your Majesty, "Did you guess that Rongchuan would want to adopt a child?"

The Queen smiled, "Your Majesty has also thought of this, otherwise how could he say that the Marquisate has been passed down for three generations? I just want my son to come back. If my son values ​​loyalty and loyalty and adopts his grandson, I don't care."

She is a mother, a mother who is suffering in her heart. She just wants to hold on to her son. This is her child, born to enjoy everything. These all belong to Rongchuan.

Your Majesty, "It's all good now. The Ning family is satisfied, and Rongchuan can put his guilt behind him."

The queen thought of her father. Indeed, her father and third brother were satisfied. The succession not only preserved the title, but also brought peace and prosperity to the Ning family.

Time passed quickly, and the warriors in the south were defeated. The prince used fire to great effect, and the foreign tribes that were defeated in one fell swoop were unable to recover for a hundred years. A hundred years was enough to annex the foreign tribes.

The Ministry of Revenue also dealt with the confiscated property. The Yao family's residence had been sold, and a sum of money had been deposited into the national treasury.

Speaking of accounting, the silver brought back from the attack on the island was not much. Since the Zhang family had lost some silver, they spent money like water and never saved any.

As for the cargoes on those ships, they had already been sold by the Zhang family and the money had been spent.

The Ministry of Revenue was rarely idle today, and Qiu Yan gossiped, "I heard that a batch of official uniforms were hurriedly made."

As he spoke, Qiu Yan's eyes never left Zhou Shuren. After the palace coup, Zhou Shuren was in control of the entire Ministry of Revenue. Lord Xiao was rarely in the yamen after he came back, and the power was still in Zhou Shuren's hands. Now everything was laid out in the open.

Zhou Shuren knew something about it. The prince mentioned it during the report yesterday. It was no longer a hint but a clear statement. From the third rank, skipping the second rank and going directly to the second rank, Zhou Shuren was about to be promoted to the first rank.

But he knew in his heart that he would stay in the position of Minister of Revenue for a long time.

Zhou Shuren: "I heard that, too."

Qiu Yan said quietly, "I just don't know who will be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue by then."

Zhou Shuren went through the officials in the Ministry of Revenue in his mind, and there really was no suitable person. He thought that when the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he would arrange for someone to come to the Ministry of Revenue. "We will know when the time comes."

At this time Zhou Shuren was suddenly summoned into the palace. When Zhou Shuren saw his father-in-law rushing in, he knew that something urgent had happened.

When Zhou Shuren arrived at the palace, many officials were already standing in the study. Zhou Shuren saw Rongchuan, who had a serious face. Zhou Shuren looked at several imperial doctors and had some thoughts in his mind.

The emperor and the prince were both there. When everyone was present, the ministers finally realized what had happened. It turned out that smallpox had appeared in Xuzhou Port.

Zhou Shuren's head buzzed. Xuzhou, Chang Lian's family is in Xuzhou.

Moreover, if you got smallpox at that time, you had to endure it, but it has been eradicated in modern times.

Zhou Shuren really wanted to slap himself. How could he have forgotten about smallpox, a deadly weapon? This deadly weapon was introduced from foreign countries a long time ago. It was recorded in the fourth year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty. Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and recalled carefully what was written in the book when he read it.

Zhou Shuren frowned, and then he had a headache thinking about it, but he couldn't remember that he could remember the fourth year of Yonghui thanks to his memory. This record had been there for a long time, so there were ways to prevent it and some treatment methods.

Zhou Shuren pursed his lips. He knew about cowpox, and couldn't help but think of this historical turning point in the previous dynasty, where cowpox seemed to have never been mentioned.

The emperor looked very serious. There were few records of smallpox in the previous dynasty. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Xuzhou has thoroughly investigated the source."

This was the first time smallpox had appeared since the founding of the dynasty. The emperor did not believe that smallpox had appeared in Xuzhou for no reason.

The emperor thought of the merchants from various countries who came and went frequently. He knew a lot about the slaves of these merchants. Pinggang was more prosperous than the newly built port in Xuzhou. Because Pinggang was close to the capital, the merchants and slaves who disembarked were strictly guarded.
