Not to mention, the women he loves, he wants to give this reward, that reward... spend money like running water.
In this way, if Emperor Ming wanted to secretly develop financial resources, he would naturally rely on the prince to make money.
The prince is a good money-maker, otherwise the black market would not be managed "in order" by him.
This is why when the black market was destroyed later, Emperor Ming was so angry that he almost vomited blood, beat the prince half to death, and even almost wanted to kill him.
But in her previous life, the prince was on guard against her as a double agent, so she vaguely heard about the black market and thought it was a private transaction.
Who would have thought that he has a princely and royal background.
Therefore, until her death, she did not know how powerful this black market was.
"But how can the black market alone be enough? Every year, His Majesty has to take care of the vassal kings and those royal family members who supported his palace changes. These cannot go to the national treasury, so he needs more money."
Ming Lanruo said contemptuously and playfully: "What can make money faster than border trade? Our Majesty is a very powerful person."
Without being powerful or ruthless, he couldn't wipe out the late emperor's family in just three days, and there was almost no big turmoil in the court.
Shangguan Hongye looked at Ming Lanruo, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Impossible, my father is so afraid of the Red Blood Legion and the Xiao family. If he knew that these people were members of the Red Blood Legion, he would have destroyed them long ago!"
Ming Lanruo smiled: "Our Majesty may know, maybe he doesn't..."
She paused and said calmly: "Just pretend he doesn't know."
If Emperor Ming knew about it, he must also know that Gujiazhai was no longer what it was back then with the Red Blood Legion, and was just released to ruin the reputation of the Xiao family and the Red Blood Army.
If Emperor Ming didn't know, then the prince hid this secret. Anyway, it wouldn't affect Emperor Ming's earning a lot of money.
"So, Your Highness, do you understand now?" Ming Lanruo suddenly poured him a cup of tea.
Shangguan Hongye looked at her coldly: "What do you understand?"
He hated drinking her tea the most. Every time she poured tea for him, she was forcing him to do something, which would make him feel very bad.
Ming Lanruo smiled: "I understand that what happened to my father was the result of the collusion between the Crown Prince, Tang Zhifu and Gujiazhai. It is even possible that His Majesty was conniving at this matter behind his back."
Seeing that Shangguan Hongye's expression was not so good, she put the tea into his hand with malice: "You should understand that even if you write a memorial to the prince and collude with the red-blooded remnants, you will not be able to remove the prince from the throne."
The most he could do was to let Emperor Ming beat the prince again and temporarily ground him.
Who told the father and son, Emperor Ming and the Crown Prince, to make money together in Northeastern Xinjiang?
Since the wolves are collaborating with each other, how can the wolf really kill the wolf?
Emperor Ming admired the prince's ability to fish for side affairs!
"And His Royal Highness, he can completely evade that he didn't know that Gujiazhai was related to the Xiao family and the Red Blood Legion. Those who don't know are not guilty." Ming Lanruo's smile was so bright that Shangguan Hongye found it dazzling.
He stared at her for a long time with a sullen face: "Do you like to see me frustrated and defeated at the hands of the prince? The prince will never let you and your family go when he ascends the throne."
Why on earth could Ming Lanruo analyze everything about the situation so deeply that he could even see some blind spots that he had not seen for a while?
She was as sophisticated as a counselor who had been immersed in power for many years, which was something he had never understood.
Was it Cang Qiao who taught her?
Ming Lanruo smiled a little more gently: "I just hate others threatening me, especially you."
Have a baby with him?
It’s almost like giving birth to a big-headed ghost!
After the incident in Tianlao, even when Cang Qiao tried every means to force her to be willing to be with him, she never gave in.
How could he possibly succumb to Shangguan Hongye's tricks!
...
Shangguan Hongye looked at her coldly. For some reason, those words "especially you" made him suddenly feel a suffocating pain in his heart.
It's not easy to breathe anymore.
He suddenly pinched her tea-serving wrist, Danfeng's eyes were full of coldness: "Then who threatens you, don't you hate it? Cang Qiao?"
