Speaking of which, the reason why the eldest princess supported the prince was that when His Majesty the previous emperor died, he told her why there was no chaos in the palaces below. It was because the palaces all followed the eldest son succession system, but the royal family did not.
It's not like this. Not everyone can be the emperor. If the eldest son is incompetent, but if the other princes are very capable, giving up this position to the eldest son will be harmful to him.
It is for this reason that many eldest sons did not inherit the throne. But when the last emperor was about to die, he suddenly understood that if the eldest son inheritance system continued like this, others would regard it as an iron law, and
No one will object. When this thing becomes something like 1+1=2 that even a child of several years old understands very well, this will not change.
It's a pity that he couldn't change anything when he was dying. His eldest son had too much ambition, so he no longer had any influence without being attacked by him. The prince at that time is the one he is now.
The emperor was the most powerful person at that time. If he was not allowed to be the emperor, the empire would probably be divided. So before he died, he told his brother and sister that they must adopt the eldest son inheritance system in the future. The current emperor
His Majesty also admired the prince very much at the beginning, but when the prince grew up, he suddenly found that the current prince was really a bit ignorant. He was a very reliable person, but his brain seemed to be a bit weak, so he got into trouble.
Chu's idea came to mind, but he still couldn't make up his mind after thinking about what his father said back then, and the current prince had no problem guarding the city, so he didn't move.
The eldest princess Long Yue has always been the strongest supporter of the prince. She often dares to do things that others dare not do. Why? Because she is the most powerful among the princesses. No one can surpass her, even her.
Her husband is gone, but there is no one left. Chapter 1579 The eldest princess Long Yue looks at this widow. Now the eldest princess has such a famous business as Yitian. Of course, the common people don’t know that this business is hers.
Yes, but people in the upper class know it. Of course, the upper class refers to people above the duke. People like Suo Ye also know it, and they also know it along with Long Yun and Li Cong. In fact, even if they don't
Because of Suo Ye, Li Cong is about to meet her and meet this legendary woman. Suo Ye and the others are here just to give Li Cong a heads up. No matter what, this matter is
I can't tell the eldest princess. The eldest princess already has a kind of doting on the prince. Even the queen can't match it. The prince is very close to this woman. It may be because they are about the same age.
All the supporters of the prince in the past years have reservations, but this aunt has no reservations in her support for him. After this incident, the eldest princess who was recuperating outside the city quickly returned.
The eldest princess's pomp is very impressive. As the most beloved sister of His Majesty the Emperor and the chief shopkeeper of Yitian, Long Yue's honor guard is second only to the Emperor, Empress and Queen Mother in Didu, and other princes and so on.
If you can't keep up with the eldest princess, you can also see this woman's ability in Didu. Stretching for twenty miles, a team of 30,000 people came towards Didu in a mighty manner. Because of the eldest princess's
The manor is in the south of Didu. On this day, the Didu Public Security Department dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers to maintain order at the south gate of Didu. Except for emergency military situations, all other common people and nobles must go through the other three gates, and the king is no exception.
, only the prince can enter the city with the princess, but all the princes are in the didu, so there is no reason to go out to serve, so this city gate is specially opened for the eldest princess today. His Majesty the Emperor learned that his sister has returned.
Fifty imperial guards in yellow mantles were also sent to greet her. His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess took the whole family out of the city to greet her. Li Cong immediately lamented that this princess was too arrogant.
, his manor is only thirty miles away from the capital, and the prince went ten miles out of the city to greet him, which is really enough, plus the team of twenty miles...
The vendors around the south gate are dying one by one. This is the best time of the year to have fun. During the Chinese New Year, the one-day turnover is several times higher than usual, but look at it.
Today, although not all businesses are closed, it is no different from closing. There are no ordinary people. The streets are full of soldiers from the Public Security Department. They will not come to patronize. Even if they come to patronize, they are probably here to check.
Yeah, it's better not to come.
At the Shili Changting Pavilion in the south of Didu, His Royal Highness the Prince has been waiting here for another five minutes. In the distance, you can already see the eldest princess's horse. The good guy's white horse is walking in the front. Not only are the speeds the same
, the most terrible thing is that these horses lift their legs at the same frequency. This man can be trained to look like this. I never thought that horses can look like this. They look so neat. Even His Highness the Prince is a little envious of his aunt.
This honor guard is the honor guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess. It consists of five thousand knights. Just for this honor guard alone, the Princess has to invest 500,000 gold coins every year. This is just the cost of maintenance. If all is counted
It is estimated that even one million gold coins are not enough, but what Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is most in need of is money, so he wants to talk about this pomp, followed by the Eldest Princess’s chariot, which is carried by 128 people.
No matter how far it goes, the eldest princess cannot make a carriage and has to be carried by others.
The eldest princess has a thousand bearers. If you say this in Didu, 100% of the people will definitely say that what you said is true, because if you count now, there will be three or four hundred. Every time the eldest princess
They go out with several groups of bearers. Each of these bearers can bear a weight of three hundred kilograms. The average weight of the eldest princess's sedan they carry is only a few dozen kilograms on each person. Mainly because there are so many people.
It is relatively stable to carry. Basically, except for the elderly men in the empire, they do not sit in sedan chairs, and His Majesty the Emperor will not allow it. What if everyone in the royal family is powerless? As for the women
, His Majesty the Emperor always gave sedans, mainly to win their hearts, but the eldest princess’s sedan was not given by the emperor, it was given by the late emperor, and the ones given by the late emperor at that time were not so luxurious.
The following things were all made by the eldest princess herself. If Li Cong saw this sedan, he would probably immediately smash his proud carriage.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived, kneel down..." the chief eunuch of the eldest princess said in a long tone. Except for the crown prince and his wife, all the tens of thousands of people present knelt down, because the eldest princess
Returning to the capital was not a big event, so not many people came to greet her. The eldest princess came out to take a look, and was a little dissatisfied with those who should have come but did not come, and with those who should not have come but came.
I have some ideas, what are these people going to do?
The eldest princess signaled everyone to get up, and then asked the prince and the princess to go forward together in his sedan. The sedan was carried by 128 people. Even if five or six people entered, they would hardly feel anything. After the guests were seated, the eldest princess
I saw the couple with grimaces on their faces. They were as ugly as they could be. They were really not that good. "What's wrong with you two? One is a dignified prince and the other is a princess. Are you just doing this for a man in black?"
Jun is so sad that he is like this? My aunt knows that you are very fond of Jun in black, but I don't think it has reached this point." The eldest princess said with a smile. She naturally knew that this was not the problem that made the Crown Prince sad.
After talking about the issue of His Majesty the Emperor's intervention that day, His Highness the Crown Prince began to have very powerful thoughts.
"Aunt, it's not like this. This is not what makes our prince sad. Don't you know what he is worried about?" The prince's face turned red. It was strange to see this person who was several months older than him.
The little aunt was speechless, so the only one who could speak at this time was the Crown Princess. The eldest princess was very satisfied with the Crown Princess, mainly because the power behind her was very strong and she could help the Crown Prince to succeed.
It hurt the emperor's position, otherwise she wouldn't bother to look at it.
"I think so. I've also heard of such a person. We in Didu have never seen such a person before. If he appears this time, what does it mean even if he is from Brother Huang's secret army? If Brother Huang
If he doesn't like you, why would he make trouble at this time? He knows very well what the New Year is. At this time, he will stop anyone who wants to make trouble. You have been quiet during this period, and he will not come to ask you questions. Those
There are many restless nobles, so I think this matter has nothing to do with the imperial brother." The eldest princess's mind was spinning very quickly, and a few simple words made the prince suddenly understand, yes, from the strength
It was said that the person was qualified, but my father would not act recklessly at this time.
"But, aunt, if that person is not from my father, I can't think of any other force in the world that has such a person. If he is our enemy, this would be really terrible." The prince was a little scared.
He said, this is indeed a very important issue. If this person is the second or third child, wouldn't he be able to kill himself at any time?
"Has your father summoned you during this period, or given you any rewards?" When the prince said that, the eldest princess also felt that this matter was a bit tricky. Back then, she knew how the two secret troops were trained.
It can be said that it is very easy for the people who came out to kill these black-clothed soldiers, but I have never heard of someone being able to kill someone through a few hundred cloths. Such a thing, let alone the prince, was back then.
I have never seen it, but I can't deny that it wasn't done by someone somewhere. After all, I am just a princess. Even if the emperor of the previous generation pampered me, he would not tell me all these things. Everyone will have their own.
Some secrets, let alone such a large organization.
"This is not lacking. My father is the same as before. He was summoned twice without any scolding, and he also gave a lot of rewards." The prince thought for a while and answered, but it seemed that it was not his father's.
Man, that's another result.
"Forget it, I think it's better not to make random guesses about this matter. It's possible that your enemy created such a person for you. He might have been hired. Otherwise, why would he take action once and not again?
This person also knows very well what he can bring to you. If this person continues to take action, I think you will soon know who this guy is, so all of them have a good reputation to take action. What they are waiting for is for you to mess up your position. Now
You already have such signs. You must always remember that you are the crown prince of the empire. It is useless for them to be more capable than you and who is more powerful than you. They are all unfair.
The most important thing that needs to be solved in this matter right now is the recovery of the black army in your hand. If you don't have a decent manpower in your hand now, it is indeed very fatal. Let alone causing trouble for others, it is your own safety.
I think it's all a problem." The eldest princess thought for a while and said, this is when it comes to serious matters. The speculations without any factual basis for several days have already troubled the Crown Prince's brain. Now when I heard
When his aunt said that, he found a new goal. With this goal, he would not have random thoughts in his mind, and he nodded quickly.
"Yes, now there are only half of the black army left, and those who lost are the most powerful ones. Yanshan also told me the truth, the remaining half can only have 30% of the original value at most.
His combat ability is really not of much use." His Highness the Crown Prince felt depressed when he thought of Yanshan. He had wasted so many years training people, and now they are starting to bear fruit. In the end, he did not achieve any benefits for himself, so he just let it go.
A mysterious man was killed, and I felt so stuck in my heart.
The Crown Princess looked at the two mothers. Although he was the closest person to the Crown Prince, every time she saw Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, the Crown Princess would feel a little inferior. Although her status was not low, but
After all, she is also the daughter-in-law of the royal family. Compared with these daughters from the royal family, she is really far behind. Besides, her husband can trust his aunt unconditionally, but he must not trust himself unconditionally. In fact, she may not have it herself.
She realized that she had fallen in love with this man for so many years. Every move of this man actually affected her. Seeking benefits for her family was just a habit. She saw that the eldest princess had low self-esteem.
Another most important reason is that she is not as beautiful as the eldest princess. The eldest princess had two birthdays in Chapter 79, which was a must. The gift money was very heavy, and there were other ostentation expenses.
, In fact, the prince feels that his aunt's ostentation is a bit grand. Seeing that the return trip is only thirty miles, it will cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins. This money can also be left to do many things, but this money belongs to my aunt.
Aren't people allowed to spend what they earn?
"This is five million gold coins. Take it. It's the end of the year. There are more social activities. There are many places that need to be taken care of. You are the prince, and many places are higher than other princes.
Especially those concubines in the palace who have given birth to daughters but no sons, you have to pay close attention to these people." Long Yue thought about this matter and had to remind the prince. The new year's gift sent by the prince to the palace is just like
It's all the same. With this money, you can do more things this year. That is, all the eunuchs and supervisors in the palace, including some of the maids, must be taken care of. Otherwise, bad things may happen just because of such a detail. Although these
People can't all be useful to themselves, but if they can't manage it themselves, and others do, they may become their enemies. Sometimes the prince has to pay hundreds of thousands more gold coins just for such an idea. The prince laughs
After taking the money, these five million gold coins should be able to buy off all the ladies in the palace.
I really can't afford to offend these people in the palace. Sometimes a maid next to the emperor has to catch up with the minister's skills. They just tell the story casually like telling a joke and they can probably tell the prince.
Your Highness has caused a lot of trouble. As for the concubines who have given birth to princes, there is no need to fawn over them. They can save them if they can save their face. His mother, the Queen, wants a big gift, even though they are all
My dear, the queen not only has her own son, but also Jiudi and her twelfth brother. The twelfth brother is still a little baby when he is less than seven years old, but the ninth brother has been named a grand duke. This is terrible.
It's not a joke. This kid has always been greedy for money, so he has to be given a share. The prince then started to calculate who should go to the five million gold coins. It seemed that he had got a windfall, but he didn't expect that he hadn't arrived yet.
Well, these five million gold coins have been divided up in my own mind. This much money is also a troublesome thing.
The eldest princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife separated at the gate of the city. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was going to the palace to have lunch. Since the emperor did not send the prince a message, he could not go with him. There are many royal rules.
, even the two fathers cannot say that they will eat together if they want to. These rules and regulations can annoy people to death. Banquets have also begun to be arranged in the palace. His Majesty the Emperor is also very fond of this sister who is much younger than him.
I love you so much, I can't hide it.
"This is one million gold coins. My aunt just gave me five million gold coins. You can look at the distribution to your natal family and add the money to the previous annual gifts. Now we are in a relatively weak period.
, I don’t know when Feng Luanwei will be able to merge with the people under me. Pay more attention, our enemies are very powerful." Thinking of his younger brothers and the prince made him dizzy, although the empire's laws are clear.
It is stipulated that a prince without inheritance rights cannot develop his own power, but now it seems that this statement is completely nonsense. As long as any prince who leaves the palace and lives his own life does not have a world of his own, their subordinates are not only
There are private armies, as well as various organizations, and their power has even developed into the court. Many people have intensified their efforts and even want to develop into the army. The prince sees this
I see it, but there is nothing I can do about it. He is doing the same thing and is breaking the rules. I can't blame others.
"Your Highness does not need to worry about my natal family. They can only support you. The other princes have no contact with them at all. It is a waste to spend this money on their side. Moreover, our annual gift this year has not been
It's aggravated a lot. I think the Queen needs to pay attention to it. The Ninth Prince heard that the gift he prepared for the Queen was a monogram made of three thousand pearls. The Queen was very happy. We
Let's add this to that. There are many people in the Queen's palace, and there is a lot of expenses." The Crown Princess did not directly take the money as before, but said something like this
, the prince smiled slightly, maybe at this time the princess began to enter his role. In fact, the prince had a thorough understanding of the princess's mother's side. The queen mother was already old. Although it was very useful, but
In the long run, it won't have much effect anymore. The Crown Princess should become the backbone of their family. In the past, the Crown Prince thought it was not a big deal to occupy such a large share. It was just that at that time, the Crown Princess had not been completely regained. Now is the beginning.
Well, the prince touched the princess's hand, and then took back the gold ticket worth one million gold coins. The prince also smiled.
But after solving these things, the prince wanted to know more about who the mysterious person was. He had such great abilities. If he was not from his father and had not joined any force, he would be able to take him over.
This is simply a great thing. His Royal Highness is just so similar. He knows how capable such a person is. Maybe when he becomes the emperor, this person may be able to submit to him, but if he
If you know Li Cong's identity, you probably won't think that way. Li Cong will never submit to anyone. What he wants is to be able to rule a piece of the world. Speaking of which, this piece of the world is not what Li Cong wants. Li Cong's ambition
It's much bigger than them, just a planet, just a passerby.
After encountering the Black Clothes Club and learning about the eldest princess from Long Yun and Suo Ye, Li Cong began to live in seclusion. It was not that he was afraid of them anymore, but there were still two people around him.
Well, he had to take care of them, so Li Cong chatted and played cards with the two beauties in the room every day. It was a wonderful life. Finally, on the morning of New Year's Day, he received a call from Yitian.
When the news came, the eldest princess wanted to see Li Cong.
As the eldest princess, you naturally have a lot to do in Didu. After you come back, you will be busy collecting and giving gifts. Speaking of which, they can still have thousands of gold coins left over from receiving gifts every year, but you are a person who has something to do.
, since you want to do things, you must ask for help. If you don’t do things, you don’t need to ask for help. Naturally, you can’t ask people to do things empty-handed. At this time, you can see what their money is used for, just like the emperor.
It's the same there, he doesn't need to give gifts. Except for his mother, other places accept gifts. What the eldest princess gave to His Majesty the Emperor was a horse, twenty kilograms of tea, and some other things, about
It’s worth tens of millions of gold coins. His Majesty the Emperor was so happy that he couldn’t open his mouth from ear to ear when he saw these things. Who said the emperor must be rich? The emperor also needs a lot of money to do a lot of things that are not worth mentioning.
Yes, ordinary people still need to have private money, let alone the emperor, and there are even more private matters that need to be handled.
The place where Li Cong and Princess Dachang met was at the Didu main store in Yitiandang. Princess Dachang had never thought of taking Li Cong to her home. After all, Li Cong was a businessman anyway.
In their minds, this businessman is here to make money for them. It is absolutely impossible to be on an equal footing with them. If Long Yun and Suo Ye had not known that Li Cong was so fierce, they probably would not have treated Li Cong that way.
, there is no way, this is a thought that has been formed for tens of thousands of years, and it is not easy to change.
Yitiandang in Didu is also the most luxurious Yitiandang in the empire. There is a trading counter more than 300 meters long below. Hundreds of employees are doing business with thousands of people outside. At the end of the year, money is everywhere.
place, so the business in this pawn shop is very good. Although the price given by Yitiandang is not the best, it is safe here, and if it says it will keep you for a few days, it will definitely keep it for you.
There will be other things, such as other pawn shops looking at your things, and they will stop you from doing anything on the days when redemption is due, just to prevent you from collecting the money.
Well, the last treasure is also theirs. Such a situation will never happen in Yitiandang.
Li Cong took a casual look when he entered. Such a fine copper kettle from the good guy would cost 80 silver coins if it were outside, but it only costs 30 silver coins here. It is definitely the same as a new one.
It's no different. If you don't buy it back, Yitiandang's profit will directly double. In the past, Li Cong didn't know much about the pawnshop business, but now he understands that the dare lover's business is also an absolute profit industry.
It’s just that the base number is not very large, but the scale of Yitiandang is so large. If this business was done all over the country, it would be the same as robbing money. Li Cong saw three transactions completed along the way, and they were all done.
If it works, you will get a few gold coins. These hundreds of employees have to receive fifty or sixty people every day. According to the minimum, one person has to earn dozens of gold coins a day. This first level has to earn dozens of gold coins a day.
He brought nearly tens of thousands of gold coins to Yitiandang. However, this was just a store for Yitiandang, and it was the least profitable business.
This second floor is where items worth one thousand gold coins are traded. There are much fewer people here, and there are less than a hundred employees working here. These people must be very careful when collecting things.
Be careful, many things here are also fake. After all, if you spend dozens of gold coins to get a fake thing, as long as the people here don't notice it, they will never come back after taking the money. This is also because
Your guys here are mistaken. It has nothing to do with them. The things traded here are really all kinds of things. Li Cong continued to follow the people forward. It seems that the eldest princess still gives him a lot of face.
They didn't show any intention of stopping until they reached the third floor. Half of the third floor was the warehouse, and the other half was occupied by more than a dozen employees chatting. These people didn't have much business at the moment, but they wanted to handle business of more than 100,000 gold coins.
, they only need a few people to come up every day to complete the task, and most of the time they are just talking nonsense.
Finally on the fourth floor, Li Cong entered a room. This was probably the reception room of the eldest princess. Li Cong went in and took a look. There was nothing special. He knew about the ostentation of the eldest princess, but he didn't expect her to be there.
When I saw myself, I actually thought of being low-key. This was just a very ordinary reception room. After Li Cong entered, the eldest princess had not come yet. A beautiful maid specially brought tea to Li Cong and then went out.
, Li Cong is not in a hurry, she is a princess, she always has airs.
A few minutes later, we opened. Li Cong was different from the others. He didn't have the habit of kneeling. He just nodded towards this charming man. Knowing that Li Cong was not an ordinary person, he didn't care about this etiquette.
Question, behind the eldest princess are two women in red. They are both pretty, but not beautiful, but Li Cong can feel that these two are masters, and he brings two masters to negotiate with him.
, or on her own territory, this eldest princess really thinks too highly of herself, can she still be violent and hurt others?
"Mr. Li, thank you very much for coming to my place. You must know why I asked you to come to my place. I would like to know the production of Mr. Li's tea next year and my share." Princess Dachang did not think so.
It is a good thing to waste so long time with a businessman like Li Cong, so there is no nonsense. This is very shameless in Li Cong's opinion, and it seems that you don't care much about me.
"I don't know about this, it depends on the weather." Li Cong replied nonchalantly, and the two people behind the eldest princess frowned, rude boy...!!!
