Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

The outstretched hand belongs to Li Jinglan.

Li Jing grabbed the Crown Princess's hand.

It seems like a smile but not a smile.

I am not flexible because I am pregnant, but I am not dead.

You pull my skirt and think I won't resist?

Li Jinglan's grip is very strong.

The Crown Princess only felt a sharp pain in her wrist and subconsciously let go of her hand.

Li Jinglan took two steps back but said nothing.

I have been thinking about the salt issue.

The current salt production and transportation system is based on the shore-based system.

Salt merchants paid salt tax to the Salt Transport Office and received salt permits. Only then could they go to designated salt-producing areas to buy salt from salt farmers and sell it in designated salt-selling areas.

To obtain a salt permit, one must present a permit certificate. In order to obtain this privilege, salt merchants had to pay a huge amount of silver.

These are official channels.

Buying and selling salt permits refers to informal channels.

For example, if an official privately issued an excess batch of salt permits, salt merchants could purchase these permits and then go to designated salt fields to purchase and sell salt as usual.

However, after selling these privately issued salt permits, officials would not hand them over to the national treasury, but would secretly withhold them.

For the country, it is equivalent to tax evasion.

The Crown Prince actually poaches his own girl?

Li Jinglan felt that the prince was a little anxious.

The position of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is the most difficult position in the world.

If you do not work hard on your government affairs and just have fun every day, the emperor and his ministers will think that you are indulging in wine and sex and not thinking about government affairs.

If the prince is diligent in government affairs and does his work seriously, he will naturally gain a good reputation, but the emperor will think that the prince is trying to seize power and will be on guard against him.

Given the emperor's personality, if the prince had any thoughts of wanting power, he would be suspected by the emperor.

The emperor asked the prince to handle the Jiangnan salt permit case in order to test the prince by giving him power.

As expected, the prince made a mistake.

Li Jinglan glanced at the prince lying on the bed.

The prince forgot one thing.

King and his subjects, father and son!

The emperor is first a ruler, and only secondarily a father.

The prince is first a subject, and only secondarily a son.

You can be angry with the emperor on small matters, but you must give priority to the emperor's interests on big matters.

But just now, the emperor said that the prince sent people to kidnap and kill Lu Shenyan, and the prince did not argue but admitted it out of anger?

Li Jinglan didn't know what the prince was thinking.

The ministers would think: He dared to kill ministers when he was the crown prince, what will he do now that he is the throne?

Will there be any ministers who will support the prince in the future?

The prince should try to clear his name now instead of getting angry.

As a prince, you cannot be willful. You must stick to your position and never allow others to put charges on you that you cannot bear.

The Crown Princess had seen that the Crown Prince had lost his fighting spirit, so she broke off relations with the Queen in front of Princess Jin.

He probably wanted Princess Jin to see with her own eyes the prince's current predicament and despair.

As a wife, the Crown Princess did her best.

He knew that he would die if he contradicted the queen.

The Crown Princess did it anyway.

Li Jinglan still admires this point very much.

The Queen obviously wanted to understand the hidden meaning behind the Crown Princess's rude behavior. She took a deep breath and chose to give in:

"Ms. Lu, the prince is ill and you are in a bad mood. I will not pursue what happened today. Just focus on taking care of the prince."

The Crown Princess, however, didn't care, and looked like she was determined to make a big deal out of it, "In the folks, if a brother has no son, he will adopt a son in his younger brother's house."

"If people in the society can adopt a child, why can't I adopt a child here, my mother?"

The Crown Princess' words were equivalent to pointing at the Queen's face and asking:

You can adopt the son of King Jin, so why don't you want to adopt your grandson to the Crown Prince?

The queen's face was extremely cold, but she still chose to give in, "I can't make the decision on the prince's affairs. You should talk to His Majesty."

The Crown Princess pressed on: "If my brother and his wife don't want to be adopted, we can only choose a son from the side branch to be adopted."

After the Crown Princess finished speaking, she looked at the Queen coldly.

Waiting for the Queen to refute her.

The Queen first glanced at Princess Jin.

Princess Jin lowered her head, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

The queen was silent for a moment, then said, "The adoption of the crown prince concerns the foundation of the country. This matter should be decided by your majesty and the court officials."

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "When you welcomed the Crown Prince into the East Palace, Your Majesty was also the one who made the decisions. Why can't you make the decisions now?"

The Queen's fingers trembled.

The Crown Princess continued to speak, making everything clear.

"The people know that having no heir is the greatest sin! The Crown Prince has no son, so isn't the Queen Mother worried about him? My daughter-in-law secretly thinks that now that the Queen Mother has another son and another daughter-in-law, maybe she doesn't want this son anymore."

The Queen stared at the Crown Princess and said solemnly, "Ms. Lu, do you know what you are talking about now?"

The Crown Princess' voice was very firm: "I know very well what I did today. I contradicted my mother-in-law today, which is a serious crime of disobedience."

"But I still want to ask you a question, Queen Mother. Is there a living deposed prince in the world?"

Snapped!

The Queen raised her hand and slapped the Crown Princess.

The slap made the Crown Princess' hair disheveled and her golden hairpin fall off.

She gritted her teeth and smiled bleakly: "Adoption is not allowed, and adoption of side branches is not allowed either. What should the prince do in the future?"

The Queen did not respond to the Crown Princess, but took Li Jinglan's hand and walked out.

There is no one outside the door.

The eunuchs all hid far away.

The queen stopped and stared blankly at the glazed tiles opposite her.

"You ask me, who else can I ask?"

“Who can do whatever they want while sitting in this position?”

The Queen talked to herself.

……

Seeing the Queen leave, the Crown Princess took two steps forward and knelt in front of Princess Jin, "Mother, you have seen it. ... We have nowhere to retreat."

"Your Majesty gave the investigation of Jiangnan Salt Permit to the Crown Prince a few years ago."

"Jiangnan Salt Permits involve many people. If the salt permits are taken back all at once, it may cause an earthquake in Jiangnan. The prince wants to do it gradually. Take back some of the salt permits of the main culprits and allow good merchants to buy salt permits. Then reduce the amount of privately issued salt permits every year, so that the shock is not too great."

"Your Majesty thinks that the prince wants to embezzle the salt tax."

The Crown Princess shed tears, "Prince Zhao has been in control of the salt permits for more than ten years, earning a million taels a year, but Your Majesty does not ask about it."

"The Crown Prince just wanted to reduce the salt tax year by year, but Your Majesty was furious."

"Your Majesty can tolerate the corruption of the King of Zhao, why can't you tolerate the Crown Prince?"

"The prince has lost his integrity now, and he is wrong in everything he does!"

The Crown Princess grabbed the sleeve of Princess Jin, her face full of tears: "Mother, please save the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince is deposed, he will die!"

Princess Jin took a half step back, her face pale, "Did you guys kidnap and kill Lu Shenyan?"

The Crown Princess immediately denied: "No."

"Then why didn't you argue when Your Majesty was here?" asked Princess Jin.

The Crown Princess did not reply to Princess Jin's words, and continued to ask, "Now that Daddy has found their son, we can only give up our position and let them slaughter us."

"Mom, is this fair to us?"
