Chapter 18 Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been hanged for three days

"Your Majesty, I just received news that this batch of tea has been sold out!"

Guo Tianyang stood beside Emperor Jing with a happy face!

"How come it was sold out in more than three days! Didn't I tell you to put out limited quantities?"

Emperor Jing was a little angry. The goods were sold too fast and he had no time to go to Taoyuan County to purchase goods. The goods in hand were gone.

I originally planned to sell it slowly, but after I went to Taoyuan, I sent Guo Tianyang back to replenish the goods.

Now that this is done, there will be a gap.

"How much did it sell for?"

Hearing that Emperor Jing's tone was unkind, Guo Tianyang still smiled slightly:

"Old slave Wan Shi, the sales situation is really too hot and I can't hold it back. The prices of the scalpers arranged are higher than the last, and the supply exceeds the demand! Many aristocratic families are rushing to get it, and they want to buy more than ten or twenty kilograms.

!”

"In the past three days, I have received a total of more than 13,200 taels of silver. After deducting the expenses of buying the store, manpower and goods, I have received a total of 10,500 taels of silver!"

"!!! Ten thousand five hundred taels! Ten thousand five hundred taels... The money is back... I want to make another two thousand jin... and go to Taoyuan immediately."

Emperor Jing's eyes turned red. He stood up suddenly and kept pacing on the spot, muttering something in his mouth.

Guo Tianyang looked at Emperor Jing with a smile. He had completed his task very beautifully this time! Even if he sold out in advance, His Majesty would never find fault.

After a while, Emperor Jing regained his composure and sat down.

Then he suddenly said in a cold voice: "Oh, are all my ministers rich? Tea worth dozens or hundreds of taels of silver can be bought for more than ten or twenty kilograms!"

"If you have no money, come to me and ask for it! Get it from the treasury! More than three thousand people died in the Jianjiang flood, and no one paid for it, but these good ministers of mine still have the heart to drink tea."

"Okay...okay!"

Guo Tianyang remained silent and stood aside, waiting for Emperor Jing to calm down before speaking again.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The inspector of Hengjiang Mansion has arrived in the capital overnight and is waiting to be summoned. Do you want to summon him?"

"Okay! Don't stay here, go to the imperial study room!"

"By the way, how is the prince doing now?"

Guo Tianyang suddenly felt a little dizzy and said nervously: "Still hanging in the Imperial Garden..."

"What! It's been three days! Still hanging! How is he!?"

Emperor Jing panicked instantly. This was February! The people below actually ignored the prince and actually hung him in the imperial garden for three days!

Guo Tianyang's throat felt a little tight. He should have reminded the emperor of this kind of thing, but he was so happy selling goods that he forgot about it.

"Your Majesty, someone has been taking care of the prince in the imperial garden these days. Every day when he is hungry, he puts him down to eat, and then hangs him back up. Someone also puts on clothes for him at night."

"The prince is in good condition!"

After hearing his explanation, Emperor Jing immediately felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

It would be nice for this traitor to teach me a lesson, but when I think about it, I feel guilty again.

"Bring the prince to the imperial study room, I want to see him."

"yes!"

.............................

Three days! Three days is enough to change a person.

Prince Li Yuanzhao was like this. On the first day, he still wanted to beg for mercy. After begging for mercy to no avail, he began to instigate the guards to rebel. The guards were indifferent.

The next day, I tried to escape when it was convenient, but I was captured twice.

By the third day, I had given up struggling and started to appreciate the garden, but I was still mumbling something.

Guo Tianyang ran all the way to the Imperial Garden and quickly ordered someone to put the prince down.

Li Yuanzhao obediently let others manipulate him, and Guo Tianyang felt heartbroken when he saw it.

"Ah! Prince! Are you okay? I'm late!!"

Li Yuanzhao snorted coldly: "Ha! The Dog Emperor asked you to come!?"

When Leng Buding heard this, Guo Tianyang's scalp almost exploded, and he rushed forward like a mad dog and blocked Li Yuanzhao's mouth.

"Prince! Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense!"

"Your Majesty is watching you. Aren't you cold and hungry these days? Your Majesty still cares about you!"

Li Yuanzhao's grievances erupted like a flood, and he immediately shouted at Guo Tianyang:

"Three days! I was hung for three whole days! Do you know how I got here these three days!"

"He doesn't care about anything! He only cares about himself!"

Guo Tianyang quickly comforted him: "Your Highness! Your Highness, Your Majesty is always thinking of you! He is still waiting for you in the Imperial Study Room. Follow me quickly."

"Oh, okay, I would like to meet him!"

Guo Tianyang's head is as big as a bucket. He has been mentally disturbed by the prince for the past three days!

But there is no other way, let His Majesty handle his own household affairs by himself!

The two of them rushed to the imperial study room, and Li Yuanzhao opened the door angrily.

He looked directly at Emperor Jing and said loudly: "Dun..."

"Yuanzhao, are you okay?" Emperor Jing's concerned voice interrupted Li Yuanzhao, then he walked from the desk to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"The prince is not feeling well. I have neglected you these past few days. I really shouldn't have!"

"But you should also learn a lesson. If you have any problems in the future, you should listen to those courtiers and masters more, do you understand?"

"Sooner or later, my country will be yours. Don't be stubborn. If you are stubborn, you will hurt the world."

"I hope you understand."

“…..”

............

After some earnest instruction, Li Yuanzhao's eyes suddenly turned red, and the angry words he originally wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

It had been a long time since his father had spoken to him like this, and he began to vaguely recall the scene of him riding on his father's shoulders.

I thought too much and couldn't say harsh words. In the end I could only hesitantly hold back three words.

"knew"

Emperor Jing smiled happily. It seemed that the prince was not heartless, so he patted his shoulder again.

Then he said in a cold voice: "Did you just want to call me Hunjun? Go and kneel in the corner. You are not allowed to leave until I speak!"

"???"

Li Yuanzhao was confused, but at this time his momentum was completely exhausted and he no longer dared to resist.

He obediently walked to the corner and knelt down, putting on an unhappy face.

"Your Majesty, the inspector of Hengjiang Mansion has arrived! Do you want him to come in now?" Guo Tianyang came over at the right time.

"Summon!"

"Send a message to Hengjiang Prefecture's inspector, Wu Sheng!"

A middle-aged man in official uniform walked in, looking very depressed.

Wu Sheng almost died on the road after two days of starry night travel, and the inexplicable summons from the emperor made him nervous and exhausted all the way.

Seeing the emperor, Wu Sheng slowly bowed to the ground.

"My lord, Wu Sheng, come to see Your Majesty!"

The emperor sat upright, full of majesty, and said: "Are you Wu Sheng!?"

"You have come all the way and you are already tired, so I don't want to waste any time."

"Let me ask you, do you know Taoyuan County!?"

Wu Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly had his pupils dilated and his whole body was shocked!
