The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 78 Who will the new prince choose?
The 35-year New Year in Jingning has been very quiet. In a blink of an eye, spring began, wicker sprouts began to sprout, and peach blossoms bloomed all over the mountain.

Meng Wanfeng was not in a happy mood, everything was not going well recently.

After searching for a long time, Master Song's concubine surnamed Qin couldn't find it. She secretly investigated Su Wang's mansion according to some things she knew in her previous life, but found that many things were not consistent with her previous life.

In this life, although the Su Wang Mansion secretly accumulated a huge amount of wealth when it was in Lingnan, the money came in a reasonable and legal manner. Most of the money came from shipbuilding and maritime trade. Su Wang Mansion has several shipyards in Guangdong Province. The paddle steamers of this model are very popular, and the sea trade business is also very large. Every year, a large amount of spices, gemstones, jadeite, cotton cloth, and even copper and iron ore can be shipped back from overseas.

Although the copper and iron mines in Dazhou must be reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court assigns special personnel to control and operate them, but there is no law that stipulates that minerals shipped from overseas must also be operated by the imperial court.

Another half of the income comes from real estate, farms, plantations, and various workshops, as well as some things she has never heard of in her previous life, such as cement, corn, sunflowers, peppers, potatoes, and the like.

Even the weapons, cannons, and warships that King Su built when he was in Lingnan had been submitted to the imperial court, and the imperial court actually approved it!
What she didn't know was that the emperor must have been right, but he never paid more than one penny of military pay, not only did not pay more, but he often withheld it.

Meng Wanfeng was a little confused, and even began to doubt herself. She wondered whether the self in her previous life was really just a dream.

In this life, many things seem to be different.

After the beginning of spring, the emperor made a decree to ask all the officials to nominate a new crown prince.

Master Song immediately realized that this was a trap, and immediately informed Li Zhao to ask Prince Su's mansion to calm down.

It's not that King Su doesn't want to go further now, he is very impatient, and even now wants to force his father to make himself the crown prince.

"Could there be a more suitable prince than this king now? I don't know why that old man can't think about it, why does this king make him look down on him!"

King Su cursed violently at Li Zhao in private.

In order to overthrow the original prince, he worked hard for 20 years!Now that the crown prince has finally become the King of Shenjun, it is certain that there is no hope at all. If the emperor really appoints another brother as the heir, he must rebel!

Anyone who dares to tell him to work in vain will be killed by him!

Li Zhao poured a cup of tea, comforted his father, and coaxed his father, "It's not like the father doesn't know that the emperor likes to hesitate when making decisions. Didn't Master Song send a word, this time At this moment, it is not to fight, and it is to fight if you don't fight. As long as you don't be singled out by others, the position will naturally be yours. Father, we have already reached this point, if we take a wrong step, we will never recover!"

King Su hummed for a long time, sat down in the armchair, and closed his eyes.

After a long while, he snorted, looked sideways at Li Zhao, and said with a smile, "You are calm now, kid."

Li Zhao immediately lowered his head and said respectfully, "That's because my father taught me well."

"Stop flattering."

"My son is right, my son was brought up by your father." Then he poured a cup of tea for his father and said, "This year, the newly sent Mingqian from Hangzhou, you should drink more. "

King Su hummed, took the teacup in Li Zhao's hand, and drank it all. After drinking, he suddenly became emotional, and said: "I think your mother loved tea very much back then. You haven't seen it. Although she was strong and lively, But when making tea, it is as beautiful as a Bodhisattva."

Li Zhao thought for a while, and took the opportunity to say, "Why don't we go to Sanqing Temple this year to hold a ceremony for my mother and concubine during the Qingming Festival? It should be more grand, or how about my father and the king also imitate the emperor's grandfather and compose a few mourning poems for my mother and concubine? "

Su Wang waved his hand: "Your father can't do that kind of thing that is just for fame and false feelings."

Li Zhao clicked his tongue, why can't the fault of the royal father, who loves to complain about the emperor's grandfather, be corrected.When he was in Lingnan, it was fine for the Emperor Tiangao to scold him from a distance, but he dared to talk nonsense when he came to the capital.

"By the way, Mr. Song sent a letter, can you read it?"

"how?"

Li Zhao handed Song Jianming's handwritten letter to his father.

King Su believed it completely, raised his eyebrows, and asked Li Zhaodao, "Have you read it?"

Li Zhao nodded.

King Su stretched out his hand to pinch the base of his nose, and asked with a very reluctant look, "What do you think? Do you want me to praise the fourth child?"

Li Zhaodao: "My son thinks what Master Song said makes sense. King Ning has fallen, and you are the oldest prince besides the abolished prince. Now instead of beating you to death with the other uncles, let's take a step back and muddy the water. Tell Grandpa Huang to be hesitant until the last moment, when the time comes to establish a heir and an elder, at least you have a long word."

King Su sighed for a long time, and said very reluctantly: "It will be done."

On the eve of the Qingming Festival, when the courtiers were arguing about which prince was better for the crown prince, King Su suddenly wrote a letter, saying that because his fourth brother had worked hard in the Northwest for so many years, he proposed to promote the fourth prince to the title of title. From county king to prince.

This confusing operation really made the courtiers a little confused, and the emperor couldn't understand what King Su was thinking for a while, so he took this matter to the cabinet for discussion.
