Chapter 171: King Ji Pei of the Qing Dynasty

The folk customs of Daqi have always attached importance to the appointment of husband and wife. Even if there are concubines, it is not advocated. On the contrary, if you can grow old with a wife, it is a good story. Such good stories are also often found in the royal family. Therefore, although Daqi has concubines, in most cases, the queen's position is selected by the divine tree, and in the end it is always the emperor and queen who are harmonious. No matter how many concubines there are, they are just very embarrassed.

Therefore, before the queen is established, the emperor will not easily accept a concubine. It is precisely because of this that the royal family of Daqi is not too prosperous. But fortunately, the emperor and queen are in harmony with each other, and most of the princes are born to the queen. It's okay to have four or five princes. But in recent generations, the royal family has not been prosperous. Especially after the death of the first queen, the emperor only had three children: the crown prince, the second prince Ming Wang and the third prince Qing Wang.

I saved a lot of things in the New Year's greetings, but it was also like this, and it always made people feel uneasy. In addition, the prince's health has been poor, the emperor has been fighting all the year round, and the second prince is ambitious and just waiting for the prince to return to heaven. Most of the scholars who can see the situation clearly in Daqi can't figure out why the national fortunes of Daqi, which has always been strong, have gradually become so uneasy.

Of course, they also wanted to ask the National Teacher. But even if they were lucky enough to meet the National Teacher, the National Teacher either didn't answer, or they didn't understand it at all. As a result, they can only continue to run around like headless flies. I want to find my way out of this confusion. Fortunately, now the crown prince has finally married the crown princess handpicked by the divine tree. Although the prince has been sick and weak, he has persevered until now. Therefore, there are many more people who choose the crown prince.

Although the second prince Ji Yuan doesn't care about these literati. But as long as there is someone who supports the crown prince, it is against him. These people. It was the object of his observation. However, those literati are just talking about it, and they have nothing to talk about. Ji Yuan has always paid no attention to these powerless people. But it's time to deal with it. He won't let them sprout either.

He can't kill them all like he did on the battlefield. Then there is no other way to deal with them. Besides, he still has to maintain his good image, and these shady things are best left to professional people. And it's the kind of professional who can kill people with just a few provocations.

Coincidentally, Ji Yuan knew such a person. And that person is still alive, it is one of his brothers, the third prince, Ji Pei, the king of the Qing Dynasty. I don't know how Concubine Xian taught her. This Ji Pei has been tight since he was a child. is pretending to greet people with a smile every day, and it also makes people think that he is hiding a knife in his smile. Although he did hide a knife in his smile.

Although now, Ji Pei did not express his stance to get involved in the dispute between him and the crown prince. But Ji Yuan knew. With his personality and the things he did, he and the prince are definitely not all the way. He looks down on him for having no ability and only chasing money, but there is such a person as a substitute for the dead ghost and a thug. He certainly wouldn't refuse.

This. Even the heavens are helping him. Yes, the crown prince is married to the crown princess appointed by the divine tree, and she is also the daughter of the prime minister. But he married and never got sick, so he couldn't hide from this micro-service. Doesn't he like to feel unwell at every turn, then this Jiangnan is very suitable for him.

It's just that Ji Pei's place to make money is in Jiangnan. According to the prince's hypocritical character, if he went to Ji Pei's territory in Jiangnan. We will not be soft on the start of rectification. Ji Pei's business is for money. The buying and selling of human lives is not a problem, let alone other violations of the law, and he is all involved.

According to the advisers in his house, the crown prince has not moved the three princes now, and he just doesn't want to upset the balance between them. Even if they can't get along, the three princes may cooperate with the prince in order to save their lives. Therefore, this prince's trip to Jiangnan is very important to the prince, but it is also important to Ji Yuan.

As long as he provokes a little, Ji Pei will definitely be on his side. Even, according to the prince's character, there is no need for him to provoke, as long as he finds evidence, he will not be soft. And according to Ji Pei's character, as long as he finds out that the prince finds out the evidence of his crimes, maybe the prince will never come back. Once and for all, he is looking forward to the benefits of this fisherman.

Ji Yuan did know his two brothers very well. He was almost right about what he expected from them. The prince knew about Ji Pei's business for a long time, but he always wanted to give him another chance. This time I went to Jiangnan to find out thoroughly. Not wronged or indulgent. And Ji Pei, he also noticed the prince's itinerary from the signs in the court.

Ji Pei, who also knows his brother, is of course against it. But others are soft-spoken, these are led by his second brother, and he can't stop it if he wants to. But just caught between them like this, forced to choose one, of course he was unwilling. Therefore, even in the cracks, he has to force out of his own way. Therefore, on this trip to Jiangnan, no matter what the winning rate of the two of them is, he must be the one who must be a fisherman!

I knew that the prince would set off for Jiangnan after the New Year. His anti-fisherman plan has also reached the implementation stage. Although his wealth is not as good as that of the Lin family, it is not half a catty. It's just that the Lin family's business is all serious business that can be checked on the surface. And Ji Pei's business is completely opposite to him, all of them are from improper origins. With the exception of brothels in the gray area, all of his businesses involved human lives. Even the brothels are not clean.

Just for the sake of appearance, he also had to explain to his subordinates, watching them temporarily turn their business underground and hide their eyes. At least half a year, it will be less public. He did this, and he also gave the prince a chance. His meaning is very clear, he has already put his business underground with a lot of face. If the prince doesn't even accept this gesture and insists on forcing him, then he can only choose another plan that makes him unhappy.

In fact, during the Chinese New Year, it is usually the time to audit the accounts. Of course, the subordinates of the Qing King Ji Pei had to send the account book to him for his viewing. Two months ago, Ji Pei found out that the prince was about to go to Jiangnan, and he had already sent the news to them. Therefore, these "shopkeepers" came here to report on the preparations after the news came.

Ji Pei has been very busy in the year, and it was only after the Lantern Festival that he had time to meet them in the secret room. Ji Pei's business has been in business for more than ten years. He seems to be particularly gifted, and he single-handedly created this dark business empire before he was a teenager. It's just that he doesn't do serious business, and he can be too public, so he pretends to be a fool on weekdays.

But a few years ago, his business was getting bigger and bigger, and it was difficult for the prince and Ji Yuan to notice it. But the more wealth he accumulated, the more fierce his heart became. Unscrupulous means to achieve the end. (To be continued.) )
