Doing this for money was not worth it in the eyes of Emperor Qianwen. Not to mention that the one he wanted to kill was Shen Ao, so he would not allow it.
Emperor Qianwen was thinking overwhelmingly at this moment. Yan Fu on the side had already closed his eyes, and he seemed to have known the result. To say that the prince's idea was not wrong, taking over Guo Changlong was nothing in front of the prince. It was a big deal, but the problem was that it not only involved the emperor's most trusted eldest princess, but also Shen Ao.
Maybe others think that he is just a loyal duke who is hereditary and nothing. Yan Fu dare not think like this, because...
The prince, who didn't know anything yet, was still talking there. He was still talking about how the state treasury would definitely increase its income after he joined Guochanglong, because he knew that this must be what his father expected to see. He never expected that the words would still be there. Before he finished speaking, Emperor Qianwen's powerful voice rang out, "That's enough."
"Huh?" The prince looked stunned. He didn't know why his father interrupted him. When he looked up and saw that Emperor Qianwen's eyes were already cold, he was shocked and quickly lowered his head. The same thought was in his mind. He was so confused that he couldn't figure out what he said wrongly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Seeing that Emperor Qianwen seemed to be angry, Yan Fu quickly handed over a cup of ginseng tea beside him, and then reminded him softly.
Emperor Qianwen, who was originally angry, saw the cup of ginseng tea handed to him by Yan Fu, and saw the concerned and reminding eyes of the other party. He finally sighed, suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the man standing in front of him. The prince who was at a loss below said: "Your aunt has always been in charge of Guo Changlong, and now it has achieved results. It is not easy to replace the person. There is no need to discuss this matter. Well, I guess Xin'er, as the prince, must have a lot of expenses. Yan Fu, send an order to give the prince five hundred thousand taels of silver from the internal funds."
"My servant obeys the order." Yan Fu quickly agreed from the side. Then he looked at Tang Xin, who was still standing there and seemed to have not recovered, and reminded him, "Your Highness, you are still not grateful."
"Oh, my dear father, thank you for your kindness. Long live, long live, long live." After this reminder, Tang Xin quickly knelt down on the ground.
The prince left, but Emperor Qianwen's anger was still there. He looked at Yan Fu who was standing aside and snorted coldly, "You are really good at living mud. Can't you see that the prince is jealous of the income of the prosperous country? Do you want to keep it for yourself? ?”
Although Emperor Qianwen pretended to be angry, Yan Fu, who knew him well, knew that the emperor's anger must have dissipated by now, otherwise he would not have rewarded the prince with money. At this moment, he pretended to be aggrieved. He said, "What the emperor taught you is that the slave is stupid. He just thinks that the prince is the emperor's son, and there is no need to distinguish clearly between the father's money and the son's money."
"Humph, I guess you can speak." Others could not understand the meaning of this sentence, but Emperor Qianwen understood it very clearly, so he let Yan Fu go. But at this time, he had no intention of reviewing the memorial. He was thinking that there was no need to separate his father's money and his son's money so clearly, right?
The prince left the Yangxin Palace and returned to the East Palace with a group of eunuchs and maids. As soon as he entered the palace, several staff members who had been waiting for a long time came up to him with expressions of concern on their faces. It was obvious that they were all waiting here. information.
The prince's expression was a little uncertain, neither good nor bad. He was thinking about what happened in the Yangxin Palace all the way back.
To say that the father was satisfied with him, why didn't he hand over the country's prosperity to him?
To say that his father was dissatisfied with him? Why did he mention his succession twice and finally gave him a reward of five hundred thousand and two sons?
It is said that the emperor's intentions cannot be guessed at will, and it is true. At least this time, the prince Tang Xin confused his father and couldn't figure it out.
"See His Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Tong and three other people came over and greeted the Crown Prince in unison.
The prince's heart and soul were united, and he looked at his staff Chen Tong, Duan Wei and his subordinate Ma Lu Shun, with a smile on his face. These three are his confidants and die-hard supporters. Maybe he can tell them what happened.
See what they think.
"Everyone, get up quickly. Come and take a look at your seats." The prince looked like a courteous corporal and helped the three of them up one by one.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince." Zeng Tong and the others said gratefully, and then took their seats in the main hall of the East Palace.
Among the three, Chen Tong is a good writer and can be said to be rich in knowledge. He also served as the prince's teacher for a period of time, so his status is naturally the highest. Duan Wei is smart and thinks quickly. The last time he revealed that Shen Ao slapped Prince Xiang in the face,
It was his idea; Ma Lushun was married to the prince's biological sister, Princess Biluo Tang Ping, who was absolutely from her own family. Moreover, she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she had some brute strength, so she was considered one of the generals available to the prince.
The three people, each with their own merits, were all trusted by the prince. In front of them, Tang Xin was not polite at all, so he told the entire story of his meeting with the emperor just now. It was very specific, with almost no missing words.
After the prince finished speaking, the main hall fell into silence. The three of them were all comprehending the prince's words, and among them, Lu Shun looked the most relaxed.
He was originally a martial artist, and things like using his brains had nothing to do with him. In his eyes, the prince was the future heir to the Daqian Dynasty, the future new king, and the future emperor. He just had to hold his arms tightly
, he will do whatever the other party says, just be loyal and work hard. As for other things, others will naturally consider them.
The prince didn't originally place his hopes on Lu Shun. Seeing him sitting there with a leisurely look, and still having the chance to look around, he simply looked away and fell on Zeng Tong and Duan Wei.
After about half a cup of tea, Zeng Tong finally spoke under the prince's expectant eyes. As soon as he spoke, he sighed, "I can't believe that the emperor values the eldest princess so much. It seems that Guochanglong's matter
We can only figure it out slowly."
"No." A voice of objection rang out. Needless to say, it was Duan Wei who said it.
After listening to Zeng Tong's words, the prince thought that there was no chance. When he saw Duan Wei's objection, he immediately became interested, "Oh, what does Duan's staff mean?"
The prince paid so much attention to Zeng Tong that he ignored Zeng Tong and just asked himself. This made Duan Wei feel proud. He knew that his chance to show off had come, and he immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and then spoke out his thoughts.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, two dear brothers, I think the Emperor still cares for His Highness the Crown Prince very much, otherwise he would not have rewarded him with five hundred thousand taels of silver. Presumably the Emperor is considering that Guo Changlong has just had a large surplus, and now
Taking down the eldest princess would not be benevolent enough. So as long as we give the emperor enough reasons, His Highness the Crown Prince will be able to regain control of the country's prosperity."
"This... This is not the first time that the Emperor has rewarded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with silver. This doesn't prove anything." Zeng Tong did not agree with Duan Wei's opinion and questioned aloud.
"Haha." Duan Wei seemed to have thought that Zeng Tong would oppose him. A confident light flashed on his face and he said: "The emperor often rewards His Highness the Crown Prince, but never has he been so generous as today. I think there is only one reason. The emperor feels a little ashamed of His Highness the Crown Prince, and these money should be compensation. Now, His Highness the Crown Prince only needs to find a suitable opportunity to take over. The Emperor has already acquiesced. Also You can't ask for the five hundred thousand taels of silver. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, must leave the Emperor with an attitude of wanting to share his worries. Only in this way can you win the Emperor's heart."
Duan Wei took it for granted that the analysis of the matter was clear and logical. Little did he know that he had ignored an important person, Shen Ao. Because of this, all his analysis was originally based on wrong foundations. It is strange that he could draw correct conclusions. .
This statement was naturally wrong. But the prince, who didn't know what was going on, listened with interest. The prince's identity did not allow him to draw a conclusion immediately. Instead, he looked sideways at Zeng Tong and found that he did not After voicing his objection, he knew that Duan Wei's analysis was probably correct. He immediately asked with curiosity, "If this is the case, but I don't know how to give my father a chance for this prince to take over the country and prosper?"
"Haha, this is quite simple. Since ancient times, no woman has achieved great things. It is considered shameful for women to show up in public. We can use this as an excuse. When the time comes, as long as there is a minister in the court who proposes this suggestion, , because the eldest princess is a woman and a royal woman, and it is really inconvenient for her to take charge of the country's prosperity, it is tantamount to giving the excuse into the hands of the emperor. At that time, the country will inevitably have to change its envoy, and it is not His Highness the Crown Prince. Is it the right one?"
"Okay. Staff Duan's words have won the heart of this prince. In this case, Staff Officer Zeng, I will leave this matter to you. We will immediately unite some ministers to write a letter to the emperor in the court tomorrow, hahaha." The prince is in a good mood. Speaking like this, at this moment he seemed to have seen the scene where he controlled Guo Changlong and a large amount of money entered the East Palace. Without the worry of money, he could do what he wanted to do.
The prince had just finished discussing with the three of them, and the eunuch in the palace over there had already driven several carriages to carry dozens of boxes outside the East Palace, and invited the prince to go out to receive the order.
The prince went out, but faced with the white silver, he chose to refuse. He also said that money is needed everywhere in a country. As the prince, he should set an example. How could he want these rewards casually?
Such righteous words and awe-inspiring righteousness made the eunuch who delivered the order a little at a loss. Normally, you have to ask for things that the emperor rewards, and you have to ask for them if you don't want them. But this time, the reward is silver, and it is given to the prince. Your Highness, I am a king and minister, and more importantly, a father and a son, so even if you refuse the money, it will not be a big deal.
The eunuch who passed the order did not dare to offend the prince, and he tried to persuade him several times. But every time, the prince was very determined. In desperation, the eunuch who passed the order had to take the money back first, and wait until he consulted Eunuch Yan Fu tomorrow. Making a decision.
