Counterattack on the palace: the daughter is very happy

Chapter 53 Silly and naive

Xia Yunran continued talking to Song Yuerong, while eating, watching the song and dance performance in the middle.

The small orgasm brought by Xia Suxue was over, she sat back to her original seat, and ate in a very low-key way, but from time to time, some servants who were not from Prince Jing's mansion went to send messages, or sent some small things, and she dealt with it decently , smiling brightly and seductively, but not at all ostentatious.

This kind of courtship is probably the same as the phrase "Wu Ling is young and quarreling, and there is no number of red silk", but Song Mutian has not made a special statement yet. Only if he shows that can He Yuqing and Xia Hanxiang really focus their firepower on Xia Suxue.

There is a saying that if you have an opportunity, you must take it, and if you don't have the opportunity to create an opportunity, you must take it.She, Xia Yunran, will definitely do her best to create opportunities for Xia Suxue.

"...No, I am firmly opposed to opening the canal as soon as possible." Just as Xia Yunran was planning to create an opportunity to facilitate Song Mutian and Xia Suxue, Song Muyan, the chairman, said something very loudly, which immediately aroused everyone's attention. Notice.

Song Muxuan did not know when he left the chairman. There were only Song Muyan and Song Mutian at the table. It seemed that Song Mutian proposed to open the canal just now, but Song Muyan loudly opposed it.

However, Song Mutian still maintained a friendly smile at this time, and did not frown like Song Muyan. He put down his glass and whispered softly: "Brother, I know you have a kind heart and don't want to waste money and people, but everything needs to be weighed against the pros and cons. , choose the best, this matter, big brother, should you think about it again."

Xia Yunran is sitting very close now, and he feels very clearly that the crown prince Song Muyan is a good man, but he lacks the decisiveness and decisiveness that an emperor should have. It will always make people think that he wants to protect everyone. But often nothing can be protected.

"His Royal Highness, it is imperative to open the canal and connect the north and the south." A man dressed as a military officer sat down and said in a rough voice. ?"

"This palace will naturally discuss this matter with the emperor." Song Muyan said, "Everything will be decided after the survey. Don't be blind."

"His Royal Highness, the opening of the canal will bring a lot of benefits. This is what the people want." Several other civil servants began to talk eloquently. If the canal is opened, it will be able to build a large water network in all directions in the southeast, northwest, and waterways will naturally form, and the communication between the north and the south will be more convenient."

The will of the people?Why hasn't she heard of it?Xia Yunran listened to the words of those politicians, thinking idly, without conducting a poll, what is the opinion of the people?
"Master Qi is right. Communication between the north and the south not only shortens the distance, but also promotes the exchange of materials, food, materials, and various items; officials will not take so long to conduct inspections... Think about it. It's a great thing."

It is convenient for you rich people to wear the southern silk embroidery, eat southern delicacies, and use those exquisite handicrafts, right?
"Yes, these communications will also allow the development of the towns and cities in the north and the south, and make life easier for the common people. It will be beneficial to the common people and will not cause any harm."

All benefits and no harm?Who to lie to? The four words of wasting people and money are enough to explain the importance of this harm. These big shots are really good at telling nonsense with their eyes open.

"..."

There were so many eloquent people, all of a sudden the crown prince Song Muyan didn't have a single supporter, most of them were on Song Mutian's side.

Of course, today is a banquet held in Song Mutian's other courtyard, so it's natural that they have a good relationship with Song Mutian, even if they are neutral, they will not stir up this muddy water at this time.

So Song Muyan's situation seemed very embarrassing, the majestic prince was opposed by all the officials, and there were so many female relatives watching.His few words of defense seemed so feeble, and he was originally a gentle and elegant type with an amiable aura, so he obviously had a lot of truth, but he couldn't put it into words.

"What should I do? What should I do, elder brother?" Song Yuerong clasped her hands anxiously, and said to Xia Yunran, "If the matter that elder brother was so refuted by everyone this time is heard by father, I'm afraid it will fall an impression of incompetence, I fear..."

"Well, actually opening the canal may not be bad." Xia Yunran considered his words. What the ministers said just now made sense. It's also huge."

Since ancient times, things such as moving the capital, repairing books, and opening canals are understandable when the country is rich and the people are strong. The Song Dynasty is rich and the people are strong, and the opening of canals is competent, and the situation like the Sui Dynasty will not happen.

"I don't care about the pros and cons. I just know that my eldest brother has always told my father that the opening of the canal should be a long-term plan, and the third brother strongly suggested that the canal be opened as soon as possible before the expedition." Song Yuerong looked at Xia Yunran, her face was pale, and her voice was very low. , "If the father adopts the opinion of the third brother, coupled with the military exploits of the third brother, it will probably overwhelm the eldest brother, I don't want to..."

Xia Yunran didn't speak. She didn't expect Song Yuerong to tell her these secrets. In fact, she shouldn't know.Moreover, this also fully shows that Song Yuerong is not an innocent girl who can only dream of a chivalrous woman, but a princess after all, this is Xia Yunran's sigh.

"...The eldest brother always said that he was afraid of laboring the people and hurting his wealth, and he didn't want to increase the corvee of the people. He said that what he needed more in the Northern Expeditions was self-cultivation. He really thought about the people." Song Yuerong continued, "He didn't even realize that the third brother is in the limelight now, You also saw it tonight, he was assassinated, not because he wanted to find out who did it, but because he was thinking about how not to implicate the third brother."

"His Royal Highness, you are really...benevolent."

The benevolence is too much, Xia Yunran thought in his heart, he didn't know how to feel, how did such a stupid and naive person survive until now, and still keep his position as the crown prince, without missing arms or legs? Kind of a miracle.

"Brother, what should we do? You can't look at him like this, otherwise those who are neutral will think that third brother is more capable. It would be great if he was here, if he was..." Song Yuerong's tone was extremely anxious, and she probably did too. She really loves her elder brother. Suddenly, she grabbed Xia Yunran's hand, "Is there anything you can do? When you talked to your elder brother just now, you were eloquent. You must, you can..."

Xia Yunran was stunned. She never thought that Song Yuerong would bring this matter to her. Looking at the pleading on her face, she also looked at Song Muyan's furrowed brows and the speechless expression on the chairman's face. In the end, it occurred to me that the Great Master was still standing with Song Muyan...

After summarizing all kinds of things, Xia Yunran finally let out a sigh of relief, and leaned into Song Yuerong's ear: "You do as I tell you."
