The little man is born to make money

On the second day of the Great Court Meeting, Qi Lin went to the court hall with Emperor Qi Yuan.When the two arrived together, Qi Lin could deeply feel that almost everyone's eyes were on him.

Not daring to look directly at Longyan, naturally everyone turned their eyes on Qi Lin!

Many smart people in the court knew the news that Emperor Qiyuan wanted to set up his grandson, so many ministers did not stand in line.It's just that they always thought that Emperor Qi Yuan wanted to canonize the fourth prince's son as the grandson of the emperor, but they never expected that Qi Lin who suddenly appeared would interfere.

Although many of them did not stand in front of the public, they had a lot of connections with the princes in private. Now that Emperor Qiyuan came suddenly, many people's original arrangements would be completely disrupted .

But compared to those ministers who were on the wrong team, these ministers were considered lucky.Anyway, it's just a re-arrangement, and it's nothing more than a little thought, as long as it's not a major matter of quarreling and beheading, no matter how bad the result is, it is acceptable.

Not to mention, now that the crown prince has figured it out, they can rest assured to curry favor, and don't have to worry about what to do when things go wrong.As for the more conservative dignitaries of the aristocratic family, it is no big deal if Emperor Qi Yuan does not abdicate and they do not stand in line for a day. Anyway, they are all pure ministers. After the new emperor ascends the throne, can they treat these old courtiers badly?

There are not a few people who have this idea, but still a small number of ministers are in the wrong team, and now they are tied to the same rope with the princes, unable to advance or retreat.

Among them, the one with the deepest bondage and the most prominence is undoubtedly the Seventh Prince's party.

The biggest reason why Qi Lin came to court today was the attack of the Seventh Prince's party on him.

Although Emperor Qiyuan wanted him to participate in politics, it was definitely not in this situation.If you don't pay attention, if Qi Lin doesn't handle this matter well, it will inevitably leave an impression in the minds of some ministers that it is difficult to be a high-ranking official.

"I report to the emperor that I want Prince Shen'an to plunder people's fat and people's anointing wantonly, and collect money for his own use." Cheng Enhou glanced left and right, and under the gloomy eyes of the seventh prince, stepped forward bravely.

All the ministers buzzed and broke out. Everyone knew that the Seventh Prince would attack Prince An's son today, but no one would have guessed that the Seventh Prince's grandfather would be on the stage directly.You must know that the most prestigious and powerful in the Seven Princes' party is none other than Cheng Enhou.

They all thought that the Seventh Prince would let other minions come up to attack Prince An's son, but they didn't expect that the Seventh Prince would directly ask Cheng Enhou to play, and even directly attack Prince An.

Many people are thinking about it, but compared to the prince himself, Prince An is indeed easier to deal with.The ministers who have stayed in the court for a little longer know that Prince An himself is a bigot, and it is easy to grab his braids.

Prime Minister Zuo looked up at Prince An, who was as immobile as a mountain, with a trace of contempt flashing across the corner of his eyes.Prince An is indeed incompetent, and that is only compared to the previous princes, but after so many years, if you think about it carefully, even during the time when Prince An was the most asshole in the capital, he never did anything extraordinary. It's just some small troubles, trivial matters.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so many years, and Emperor Qi Yuan had never been angry with him, but instead kept talking about him, saying that he was most impulsive, but he had a pure heart.

Look, would such a character do such insignificant things as Cheng Enhou said?Even if people want to do it, they will definitely do it secretly behind everyone's back. Who will make a big fuss so that everyone knows it?

The Seventh Prince also knew that things might not be so simple, but he was really forced and had no choice.If the emperor wanted to make Qi Lin the crown prince, wouldn't he have no chance at all?He has worked so hard to plan for so many years, and it seems that he is about to succeed. How can he swallow this breath and let others pick his peaches!

He doesn't know if Lao Liu has searched for people's fat and people's anointing, but there is indeed a huge sum of money for no reason!

During the period between the fourth child and the fifth child, he received a lot of gold from the sixth child, and his concubine mother secretly sent him a letter, telling him that Concubine Hui was wearing all kinds of gems and pearls in different styles all day long in the palace. Could such a skill be possessed by a small vassal?

He knows better than anyone else whether there are gold mines and gemstone veins in the Southwest. You must know that the Chen family started doing business in the Southwest and developed all the way to the capital.

In the southwest area, why did the imperial court dislike it so much for so many years? Isn’t it because the mountains are high and the water is far away, the location is remote, remote and ethnic minorities live together, and many nomadic regimes that are not very peaceful are there?

If the Southwest is really a piece of sweet pastry, when the sixth son was demoted to the Southwest, the princes would have fallen out long ago, and would they let him go to the Southwest alive in peace?

Taking a step back, if gold mines and other veins really appeared in the southwest, Lao Liu dared to take them for himself instead of filling up the national treasury. Based on this alone, the father would not let him go.

As long as the father is dissatisfied with him, no matter how wise and brave Qi Lin is to please the father, I am afraid that this grandson's seat will not last long!

The Seventh Prince conspired with Cheng Enhou in the study for a long time, and finally Cheng Enhou came forward to raise the matter. As long as they insisted on the matter of the sixth son who disturbed the people, Cheng Enhou's official position would not be low. Come on, even if other people want to keep Lao Liu from suppressing this matter, it is almost impossible.

They thought well, but they never thought that Prince An's gold, silver and jewelry were not produced in the fief at all.So much so that after Cheng Enhou's performance, the old god Prince An was dozing off somewhere, which made them startled and angry, and they wanted to step forward and slap him awake immediately!

"Prince An, is there such a thing?" Emperor Qi Yuan stared at Prince An who was still in a daze, and asked.

The fifth prince quickly kicked Prince An, and Prince An was startled, looking left and right, "Whoever kicks me will dare to kick this king!"

"Ahem! Sixth brother, the emperor asked you something." The fourth prince said in a low voice.

Prince An was taken aback for a moment, then he looked blank, "Father, what are you talking about?"

The corners of Emperor Qi Yuan's eyes twitched, he just felt that it would be too embarrassing to lose face in front of the ministers, why did he have such a bad thing.

"Marquis Cheng'en pays taxes, plunders people's fat and anoints, amasses money recklessly, while in charge of the fiefdom, oppresses people with power, accepts bribes..." Emperor Qiyuan said briefly, staring at Prince An to see how he would answer.

"What the hell? Cheng Enhou's brain is flooded!" Prince An's eyes widened for a moment, staring at Cheng Enhou's old face with a speechless expression, "Do you want me to invite an imperial doctor to take a look , don’t just get senile dementia!”

puff--

The suppressed laughter of the ministers came from the Xuanzheng Hall one after another, Cheng Enhou's old face was flushed with anger, and he pointed at Prince An and said bitterly, "Prince An is above the imperial court, you are not allowed to mess around here! "

"Why is this king so messed up?" Prince An thrust his waist and raised his neck and said loudly, "Who doesn't know that this king is the most filial to his father, did the king find that sugar recipe, and every meal you eat at home Does the granulated saccharine have a share of the credit? If the king is really greedy for money, why doesn't he keep such a good thing for his own use?

Besides, where is the king's fiefdom?That's the Six Counties in Southwest China!What kind of place is that? All the adults have read books, so they should know better than this king.Then what did Han Yu say back then, "Where is Yun Heng's family in Qinling Mountains?Knowing that you are far away, you should be interested, so that you can take my bones by the riverside. '

Listen, even though Han Yu was demoted to the Southwest, he felt that he would never return in this life. Are the living environment, climate, food and clothing there treated by human beings?Of course, I didn’t mean that my father was bad at relegating me to the southwest, I just wanted to say that the conditions there are so difficult, how can the people’s life be better?

I can't even eat enough to eat, so I still have the mind to bribe the king?Come, come, Minister of the Household Department, tell me, how much is the annual tax in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?How much is the tax in Beijing?Besides, how much is the tax in the Southwest?Do you think wealthy businessmen in the southwest can be as rich as these places?Can you take out so much gold, silver and jewels, and spare money for my king's expenses?

Taking a step back, if the Southwest is really so rich and the people are so rich, can they still think highly of me, a small feudal lord who has been demoted for crimes?Instead of taking more than [-]% of the family property and defecting to the seventh and twelfth brothers!After all, they are my father's most beloved sons!"

"Prince An, what do you mean?" The Seventh Prince couldn't sit still. What Prince An said next was murderous, and he almost said that the Seventh Prince and the Twelfth Prince colluded with some wealthy businessmen, and officials and businessmen had mutual relations.

"It means whatever you think it means!" Prince An didn't lie to him at all, and said something directly.

The seventh prince was so angry that he fell on his back. Prince An's appearance of hob meat was exactly what he hated the most.But he couldn't deny that although what Prince An said just now was rough, he didn't make sense.Everyone present knew exactly where the Southwest was, but they didn't know where his batch of gold and silver came from, so they kept holding on to it.

The Twelfth Prince sneered. He originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but since Prince An got him involved, don't blame him for standing on the side of the Seventh Prince. Where did the gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of expensive and luxurious items of brother and concubine Hui come from? Could it be that these things all fell from the sky? If there is such a good thing, my brother wants to try his luck too!"

The other ministers all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear where these treasures came from.Not only the ministers, but even Emperor Qi Yuan was a little curious.Although he knew about it early on, the people he sent out hadn't found out where those things came from, but it wasn't from the fief, so it was certain.

Prince An snorted angrily, and the old twelfth was a little bit annoyed when he spoke, and he was carved out of the same mold as his mother who could only cry all day long!

Qi Lin blinked at Prince An, and Prince An immediately understood, stood up straight in an instant, slapped his chin, and said to the Twelfth Prince arrogantly, "Hey, don't tell me, although this thing didn't come from the sky It fell, but it came out of the sea!"
