Chapter 519 He Knows What's More Important
As the emperor's teacher, Old Master Shen naturally understands Fu Jinyi's current mentality best, and he is more aware of the current situation in the royal capital.
When the incident in Salt Lake City spread back to the royal capital, many aristocratic families became restless.
The letter from Old Master Shen was to advise Fu Jinyuan not to return to the royal capital unless he was determined to become the enemy of the aristocratic families and replace them.
He analyzed it carefully in the letter.
Although Fu Jinyuan was the eldest son, he had lived in the Yong Dynasty since he was a child. He had no close relationship with the Southern Dynasty aristocratic families and had no interests involved with them.
But Fu Jinyi was different. Since he was named the crown prince, he became one with the aristocratic families headed by the Ruan family. After he ascended the throne, these aristocratic families had the merit of following the dragon. Therefore, if Fu Jinyuan had ascended the throne, there would have been chaos in the Southern Dynasty.
Before Fu Jinyuan returned, Queen Dowager Ruan not only consolidated the prince's position, but also paved the way for other possibilities.
Many people supported not Fu Jinyi, but the Queen Mother.
Seeing that expectations are dashed, it is inevitable to want to stir up more waves.
Salt Lake City might be the trigger. They want to make the brothers break with the Queen Mother. This is their chance.
So Fu Jinyuan couldn't give these people any chance.
In the letter, Old Master Shen's writing was clear and meticulous, and he broke down the situation in the Southern Dynasty clearly.
"Grandfather is still very insightful." Fu Jinyuan read the letter three times, and finally realized that even though he was calm and steady enough, he was still inevitably affected.
"Doctor Zhou is in the royal capital. As long as the emperor is obedient and takes care of his illness, there will be no problem." Shen Suian said softly.
Fu Jinyuan snorted, "I'm just afraid he won't listen."
Shen Suian laughed.
"Forget it, I'll write a letter to Zhou Zhou. He won't fool people." Fu Jinyuan said.
"I'm going to grind the ink. You drink the soup first."
Fu Jinyuan smiled and asked while drinking his soup, "Are you used to living here, Grandmother?"
"Grandma has a broad mind and can adapt quickly wherever she goes. Yesterday morning, she took Chao Ge'er to Eagle Bay for boating." Shen Sui'an said.
"Eagle's Beak Bay? Isn't that where you want to build a shipyard?" Fu Jinyuan asked doubtfully.
Shen Sui'an nodded, "The site of the shipyard has been determined, and we can start construction once Shui Yanze's shipwrights arrive."
"Jiuling took me to see the excavation of the river. With his experience, the river works were much smoother."
"In another six months, the river will be accessible to ships."
Fu Jinyuan nodded slightly, "Jiu Ling is very good."
Shen Sui'an curled his lips, "That's natural."
"Okay, you write the letter. I'll go back to accompany Chao Ge'er first." Shen Suian said with a smile, not wanting to disturb him while he was writing a letter back to the royal capital.
"I'll be back with you guys later."
After Shen Suian left, Fu Jinyuan calmed down and wrote letters. He wrote three letters in a row.
In addition to Old Master Shen and Zhou Zhou, he considered for a long time and finally wrote a thick letter to Ruan Xinglin.
He thought about it for a long time this afternoon. Between the Southern Dynasty and his brothers, he felt that Fu Jinyi was more important.
……
The officials and noble families of Suzhou soon learned that the Regent had arrived. The next day, a large group of people came to the palace to pay their respects to the Regent.
Shen Sui'an had the door opened and invited all the family leaders and officials into the hall, where he had refreshments prepared.
"The largest families in Suzhou are the Wei family and the Sun family. They also have children serving as officials in the royal capital, but they are all He Zhiyuan's men. We don't know what their original family member Li Chang is like." Shen Suian straightened his clothes for him.
"The women of each family have sent their visiting cards, but have not yet responded. They are just waiting for you to come back."
Fu Jinyuan said: "It will take the trouble for you to socialize with them."
"It's not that hard. It would be nice if I could find a few good friends to talk to." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.
"You are the most powerful person in Suzhou. If anyone says something unpleasant, just scold him." Fu Jinyuan stroked her temples, "I support you."
Shen Sui'an raised the corners of his mouth, "Then I would like to thank my husband."
"I'll go to the front yard first."
"Princess, bring all these visiting cards." Ban Jian came over holding a thick stack of visiting cards.
Shen Sui'an looked at it carefully and said, "Go and ask the chief historian to come over."
The chief secretary came over quickly and said, "Meet the princess."
"Chief Secretary, the prince and I are coming to Suzhou, so we should hold a banquet. These are the invitation cards I have selected." Shen Sui'an pointed to the visiting card next to him.
“Don’t waste money, keep it simple.”
"Princess, I will write a banquet plan for you to review. If you are satisfied, I will arrange it." said the chief secretary.
Shen Sui'an nodded gently, "That's great, you can leave first."
As soon as he left, Ban Jian angrily pursed his lips and said, "Princess, why don't you ask Yang Changshi what he meant by arranging a few maids who look like foxy girls in the front yard."
"He is a fourth-rank official in charge of government orders. They are just a few maids and they don't work in important positions. Why bother asking the reason?" Shen Sui'an said calmly.
"Besides, those maids are good-looking, so they shouldn't be called vixens."
Yang Changshi had been in the palace for quite some time. If he had any problems, he would have been driven away by Fu Jinyuan long ago.
Ban Jian whispered, "Princess, it was this servant who said the wrong thing."
"Okay, okay, we still have a lot of things to do next, so don't worry about this." Shen Sui'an waved his hand.
For so many years, Fu Jinyuan has only had her as a princess and he doesn't even have a concubine. How many people want to put women around him? Shen Suian is certainly not an irreplaceable beauty. How can she control her husband from taking a concubine?
If Fu Jinyuan insisted on taking a concubine, no matter how many tricks she used, it would be useless.
She took advantage of the free time these days and finally walked through every corner of the palace, big and small, only to find that the size of the palace was even more exaggerated than she had imagined.
This palace is composed of three large mansions connected together, and there is a large horse farm in the backyard.
When his son grows up, Fu Jinyuan can take him to practice riding and archery.
The Empress Dowager was walking in the garden and asking several maids to catch butterflies and fly kites. It was quite lively.
Chao Ge'er was wearing a red silk dress and was walking step by step, held by the hand by a maid.
When he saw a butterfly flying past him, he wanted to pounce on it and catch it.
"Grandmother." Shen Suian walked over with a smile.
As soon as the Empress Dowager saw her, she quickly hid what she was holding in her sleeves.
Shen Sui'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandma, did you secretly eat honey?"
"No, this is the fruit made by the kitchen for Chao Ge'er. It's not sweet." The Empress Dowager shook her head.
"I saw it all. They are candies made with honey. The doctor said that you can't eat anything too sweet. You have to avoid it." Shen Suian stretched out his hand and looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile.
The Empress Dowager sighed, "What a quack! I need to find another imperial physician!"
Shen Sui'an nodded and agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll ask Imperial Doctor Lin to come over tomorrow."
You can change doctors every day, but just don’t eat too many sweets.
