This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 697 Enduring prosperity
two months later.

Prince Jing's Mansion.

Under the garden gazebo.

Wen Ruyan and Wen Ruyu sat facing each other and were playing chess. Wen Ruyu picked up a black stone and put it down, looked at the chessboard and said casually: "I heard that your reputation is getting bigger and bigger recently. You have written seven pieces of chess in a row within a few months. There are eight scriptures, and each one is favored by the women in the boudoir, even the queen mother and the man in my house are holding your scriptures and reading them all day long, it’s amazing."

Wen Ruyan put Bai Zi down and said with a smile, "Just write and write when you're idle and bored."

Wen Ruyu put down another chess piece, and said, "Is it really just a casual writing?"

"Then what else?" Wen Ruyan didn't stop what she was doing during her speech.

Wen Ruyu suddenly raised her head to look at Wen Ruyan and said seriously: "Although your reputation is getting bigger and bigger now, you know that except for those women in the boudoir, most people say something bad when they mention you. if?"

Seeing that he didn't make a move, Wen Ruyan also put down the chess piece in his hand, then picked up the teacup on the side and lifted the lid to take a sip, and then said: "Just say it, so what?"

"Do you know what outsiders think of you now?"

Wen Ruyan put down his teacup, curled his lips and said casually: "It's nothing more than saying that my will has been completely depressed since my father cut off the throne, and I can't help myself from being addicted to beautiful sex. What else can they say?"

Seeing his indifferent appearance, Wen Ruyu sighed slightly, then got up and stood by the gazebo with his hands behind his back, looked at the scenery in the garden and turned his back to Wen Ruyan and said, "Why do you do this?"

Wen Ruyan didn't speak.

Of course Wen Ruyu knew why he did this, just because of Wen Ruyan's scriptures, let alone those talented scholars began to belittle him, even the princes and ministers' evaluation of him had changed.

Whenever Wen Ruyan was mentioned, some people sighed endlessly, some hated iron for being weak and thought he was not doing his job properly, and some people were full of regret.

Wen Ruyu has seen all kinds of expressions, but who knows what is hidden under their expressions?
The ministers who supported him were completely relieved at this time.

What threat could a prince who is depressed and obsessed with beauty pose?
What's the use of a good notebook if you write it out?Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, which emperor got to the top by writing scripts?
Wen Ruyu knew that this was exactly what Wen Ruyan wanted to see, but when he thought of the reputation of his younger brother who didn't care at all in order to maintain his status, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Wen Ruyu suddenly turned around to look at him and said with a serious face: "You should also be concerned about your own face."

"Hey brother, it's not like you don't know me. When did I ever care about my face?"

Wen Ruyu was about to refute but was interrupted by Wen Ruyan.

"Besides, you have to reassure them, don't you?"

As soon as he said this, Wen Ruyu fell into silence.

"Okay, don't talk about this, do you know something that happened in Nanchu recently?"

Seeing that he didn't want to bring up this topic, Wen Ruyu hesitated for a moment and then stopped, and replied, "I've heard a little bit about it. Since Mu Xiqiu came to the throne, he has drastically rectified the court. Within half a month, Nanchu Almost half of the officials above the court were headed to the ground, and this is not the end. After rectifying the court, he set his sights on the counties and counties of Southern Chu, and sent dozens of confidants to patrol the sky. In just over half a year, Nan Chu has no idea how many corrupt officials have had their heads chopped off."

After saying this, Wen Ruyu sighed sincerely: "This Mu Xiqiu is really extraordinary, and he acts swiftly and resolutely. Just imagine how intricate the relationship in the officialdom is. If you catch one, you can pull a large group of people. A new king like him not only I didn't have the slightest fear of causing a backlash, but directly suppressed the entire officialdom with that iron-blooded method. I can't match this kind of courage."

Wen Ruyan chuckled, and said: "Our Dazhou has been fighting with Nanchu for almost 100 years. The situation here is not optimistic, and Nanchu will not get any better. Mu Xiqiu knows very well that serious illnesses can It has to be treated with heavy medicine, but in this way, our side also has to speed up reforms."

"In such a hurry?"

Wen Ruyan nodded: "You must be in a hurry, as you said just now, since Mu Xiqiu came to the throne, it has been only half a year, and half of the officialdom in Nanchu has been almost emptied. You know, all the dead are corrupt officials. How much money do you think he can add to the treasury every time a corrupt official's head is cut off? I can be sure that Mu Xiqiu has enough silver in his hand, enough for him to start another war!"

Wen Ruyan's words instantly brought Wen Ruyu back to his senses: "That's right, back then you just rectified Jingzhou and brought back millions of taels of silver. Those corrupt officials' ability to amass money is really shocking and unbelievable."

"Yeah, because of this, we have to speed up here."

"Well, the reason why Nanchu hasn't done anything now is because the officialdom is too turbulent, and many positions are still vacant. He doesn't dare to send troops without filling these vacancies."

After the two brothers discussed for a long time, Wen Ruyan asked again: "By the way, how many taels do you think is still short? If it doesn't work, I'll think of other ways."

As soon as Wen Ruyan mentioned this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Wen Ruyu's face.

"What's your expression like?"

Wen Ruyu chuckled, then lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you this, I have a lot of taels I can use now, and it should be enough."

Wen Ruyan was startled and said, "So fast? Where did you get so much money?"

Wen Ruyu looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then said cautiously: "Half a month ago, Fei Yuanwai from the Fei family visited my Prince's Mansion."

"Could it be that I went to give you money?"

"That's right, that's exactly the case. Fei Yuanwai gave me another [-]% of the profits from the three transactions, and turned them over to the state treasury through me."

Wen Ruyan laughed at that moment, and said, "This Fei Yuanwai is really a wonderful person!"

"Who says it's not? It's reasonable for the Fei family to have the current family fortune."

In fact, since the three business transactions of the Fei family became popular, there are often people in the outside world commenting that the current financial resources of the Fei family are completely worthy of the words "wealthy and invincible".

When Wen Ruyan first heard this discussion, he didn't feel anything, but a few days later, when he thought about it again, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he seemed to suddenly understand something.

Wen Ruyan looked up at Wen Ruyu, then shook his head suddenly.

It is estimated that my imperial brother has not reacted yet.

However, he didn't say any other nonsense, but said with a smile: "You are known for benevolence and righteousness, and the [-]% profit can be regarded as Fei Yuanwai bought a long-term prosperity for Fei's family in advance."

　Thank you for replying V for your reward, brother, don’t reward, the update is unstable, the writing is not good,
