Streets of Changle.

Opposite the mansion of Chen Mansion, Hongmen Inn is full of guests.

They simply went to the second floor private room.

The eldest son of Shen, Chen Wanbao and the prince Xiang Tiange, invited each other to drink, all of them looked sad and each had indescribable depression.

"Chen Wanbao, I feel something is wrong this time!"

Xiang Tiange said with a sad face.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Wanbao asked.

"In the past, as long as the prince made a mistake, the father would severely denounce it and order the ban on the East Palace. If it is severe, even punish the assistant officials of the East Palace, and even whip me.

But this time, the prince almost killed the prince of the King of Wu in the Yanyu Huaboat. The news will definitely reach my father.

My father has not reacted at all so far, this is something that has never happened before.

Wanbao, you said, are my father extremely disappointed this time... Are you ready to give up my prince? Choose another prince to take over?!"

The more Xiang Tiange thought about it, the more he became nervous.

He made a mistake, and the emperor was angry and punished him to confine himself to the Eastern Palace. This was almost a practice from childhood to adulthood.

He was used to it and didn't take it seriously.

However, this time he committed a major incident like assassinating Prince Wu. Although he did not kill Prince Wu, he also scared Prince Wu to a great extent.

There was no punishment this time.

The palace was surprisingly quiet, as if it was just taken as if it had never happened.

Xiang Tiange was so panicked that he was dying.

The father disciplined him, at least he still had hope for him. But once he was disappointed and let him go...that would mean giving up?

Could it be that he is the crown prince? His crown prince’s good life is the end!

Chen Wanbao smiled bitterly and only had sympathy for the prince, "I am not a bug in the emperor's belly, how can I know what your father is thinking?

If you are afraid, just apologize yourself!... The emperor is not easy to talk to. Go and find the queen. Where can I cry? Let them ask you to plead for you."

In this matter, the prince can only find Empress Chen, and he really can't help.

But he felt that it was not so serious.

Although the prince was reckless and impulsive, he was the legitimate son of Empress Cui.

If you really want to destroy the prince Xiang Tiange, it will be a major event that will shake the foundation of the country.

Can Queen Cui sit still and watch?

"I want to plead for mercy, so I send someone to send a message to the palace. But the mother and the queen of the palace replied to the queen mother, as if they were very busy recently and didn't want to see me. This clearly means that even the mother and the queen mother are going to give up on me!"

Xiang Tiange was about to cry without tears.

After the prince became an adult at the age of fourteen, he would no longer be allowed to enter the palace at will unless he summoned him to the emperor, empress and empress dowager.

In the palace, the emperor, empress and the queen dowager did not see him. He could not cry even if he wanted to cry.

Even if he wanted to use a method to please his father, mother and queen mother, there was no way.

Chen Wanbao was helpless either.

Prince Xiang Tiange saw Chen Wanbao and saw that Chen Wanbao was also drinking and sighing. He couldn't help but ask strangely: "Wanbao, why are you worried about? Have you committed a crime? Did your father scold you?"

"Bah? What can I do? I'm worried that my papermaking workshop is all too tricky! I was stunned by Xiaohunhou and insisted on fighting against Xiaohunhou.

He said he was good at the prospects of the paper industry, and invested 10,000 taels of silver into the paper workshop and built a large workshop, but he has been in a state of half-dead loss."

Chen Wanbao was drinking depressedly.

Shen’s hemp paper, sold for a price of five cents of copper coins.

Confucian scholars all thought it was expensive and could hardly sell it.

But the cost of hemp paper is high, and the price reduction is also a loss.

And I have to pay workers every day, and just maintaining this papermaking workshop will cost a lot of money.

If this continues, the tens of thousands of taels of silver he finally gets, like a dull knife cutting flesh, disappearing little by little.

"I want to close the money-losing Shen's workshop and sell some money back. But my father didn't give up. He ran over every few days and worked with the group of papermakers to study the papermaking technique of Hunhou's paper."

Chen Wanbao was almost worried.

But he also knew that Dad was actually not a big mistake in doing this.

As Empress Dowager Chen grows day by day, no one knows when he will die in his seventies or eighties. Chen Mansion, the number one silk merchant in Jiangnan, is not having a good life.

Shen Dafu was also afraid that once the empress dowager would go, she would lose her big backer.

The emperor was not concerned about the matters of the Shen family.

The Shenfu will not be able to defend the large silk industry with extremely high profits. This industry is too huge and too envious. Local wealthy families will definitely be eyeing it. Shen Dafu also wants to have an extra way out.

The paper industry has just emerged and has high profits, but there are obviously fewer competitors than the silk industry. Even if the Chenfu declines, it can still occupy a place in the paper industry.

Xiang Tiange was afraid of losing favor in front of the emperor, and the Shen family was afraid of Empress Dowager Chen's death.

Every family has a difficult sutra to recite!

...

Chu Tianxiu took Zuer back from the workshop outside Jinling City. He passed by Hongmen Inn and saw Chen Wanbao and the prince Xiang Tiange sitting on the second floor, drinking in front of the window.

"Oh, Brother Shen, Prince, why are you covered in sorrow?!"

Chu Tianxiu smiled and, with the careful reception of the waiter, went to the second floor of Hongmen Inn and sat down in the elegant seat.

"Little Hunhou, the Lantern Festival has passed. You, the magistrate of Danyang County, have you walked around Jinling City with your maid, and you haven't taken office yet?"

Xiang Tiange said with resentment and was angry.

If Xiao Hunhou was willing to help him coward the prince of the King of Wu and run away from Prince Wu, he would not be angry and would fly a sword to stab Xiang Xian.

"It's almost time, I'll take office in a few days. I don't think about my brothers, I'll say goodbye to everyone, so I'll save you from saying goodbye. Look at you all, but you have any worries? Let's hear it!"

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

Chen Wanbao rolled his eyes. His sorrow was the papermaking workshop of the Shen family, but Xiao Hunhou wanted to eat alone, but he refused to join forces to dominate the papermaking industry.

The sorrow in his heart was in vain.

Chen Wanbao pointed at the prince and said, "The prince committed a major incident in Yanyu Huafang. The emperor did not punish him and did not make any noise. Even the queen and the queen mother said they were very busy and refused to see the prince. Isn't the prince panic, afraid of being deposed? What's the situation in the palace? Because the prince almost stabbed the King of Wu, will the emperor want to depose the prince!"

"Oh, is there such a thing?!"

Chu Tianxiu was shocked.

He thought that the emperor had sent eunuchs to impose severe punishment on the prince of the Eastern Palace and explain to the King of Wu!

If you do this, it means that everything in Da Chu is the same as before and there is no intention to get into evil with the princes and kings.

But the emperor did not punish the prince, so there was no movement?

This is abnormal, it is clearly a very obvious signal!

This shows that the emperor is already very unhappy with these princes and princes, and they are no longer the princes. The prince stabbed the prince of the King of Wu and stabbed him, and he was not killed.

This is so domineering and unreasonable?

The emperor is so domineering and unreasonable.

The emperor did not intend to punish the prince at all, and of course there would be no movement in the palace about the East Palace.

There may be major changes in the court, and the queen and the queen mother have no time to see the prince at this critical moment.

This Great Chu Dynasty is really going to change slowly.

However, everything in the Great Chu was chaotic, complicated and complicated. It moved the whole body with one move... I don’t know where the emperor would start!

never mind.

He, the little marquis, is just a little magistrate of Danyang County, why bother to worry for the emperor who ruled the world?

Chu Tianxiu pondered for a moment and said, "What's the matter with the prince? The prince of Wu was calling the emperor mediocre at that time. When you were angry, you stabbed Prince Wu.

As long as you seize this point and find an opportunity, you will cry, and no one can touch you. This matter is easy to pass."

"Yes! I'm not wrong at all, I'm maintaining the majesty of my father!"

Xiang Tiange's eyes lit up.

"However, although this matter can be overcome, you, the prince, still have to find a way to make more contributions and try your best to show your ability in front of the emperor!

Otherwise, the emperor would be disappointed if he only saw you being reckless and impulsive, but not seeing your true skills! Over time, it is hard to say whether you can sit firmly in the position of prince."

Chu Tianxiu patted the prince on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Xiang Tiange suddenly realized and felt that Xiaohunhou’s words were very reasonable. He looked at Chu Tianxiu with eager eyes, "Little Hunhou, you have many ideas. Give me a trick to help me make a great contribution in front of my father!"

"Think about it yourself!

I am busy taking office! I am not a boy who gives money, I will give you great contributions for free! Unless, the prince will have any benefits to repay you.

When did the prince think of giving me great benefits? I will immediately give you a great achievement, so that the emperor can look at you with admiration.

Remember, a wonderful skill that you can see with admiration!”

After Chu Tianxiu finished speaking, he patted his butt and left, too lazy to pay attention to Xiang Tiange and Shen Wanbao.

Xiang Tiange was worried. If he could make great contributions, would he need to ask him for advice?

Besides, the crown prince has no power and no power, so where can he get any great benefits?

Xiang Tiange couldn't help but feel annoyed and shouted at Chu Tianxiu's back, "Xiao Hunhou, you throw a word to provoke me, just pat your butt and leave? You can't owe it. When I become the emperor, I will give you good things?"
