Hubu Shangshu's words were already expected by Feng Jiutian. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention that there is really some money and food in the DPRK now, even if there is extra money and food, with the second prince's maternal uncle who has been operating in the household department for many years, at this time, he will not take it out to give the prince a long face.

Feng Jiutian's recital was to throw bricks and lead jade, and handed a ladder to Rong Guogong's faction. As for how it will develop in the future, he can only wait and see what happens.

Sure enough, when the prince heard the words of Tobe Shangshu, he was not happy at first. He took a step forward and said to the emperor: "Father, the battle with the Northern Underworld is an important policy of the country, how can it be delayed in terms of money and food?" In the opinion of the ministers, the household department should be ordered to hurry up the collection of money and food, and in any case, to ensure the needs of the war ahead. ”

The prince's words were natural and impeccable, and the emperor did think so. But he also had to pay attention to the words of the head of the household, and the spring of the year was in the spring, and there was no seed to sow, and the harvest of the year was gone.

The emperor was silent, but the prince was a little anxious. In any case, Feng Jiutian was still a member of his prince's faction. Now that he has finally gained a firm foothold in the army, and there are frequent successes in the war with the Northern Underworld, he must not be held back because of the problem of money and food.

Moreover, the second prince has been imprisoned, but Rong Guogong is still there, and he doesn't want Rong Guogong and his party to have the opportunity to stir up trouble. Moreover, now that he is above the court, he has an advantage, as long as he gets the approval of his father again, then he will win. At this time, what Feng Jiutian said to him yesterday lingered in his mind again: "As long as you can help your father solve this problem, you will definitely win your father's appreciation, why worry about the position of prince?" ”

The crown prince rolled his eyes a few times, looked at the emperor and said, "Father, the sons and daughters think that the matter of money and food should be resolved quickly. There is still some surplus money in the Erchen Palace, and the Erchen is willing to donate it to support the border war in our country. ”

When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile: "Is the emperor really willing to take out money to support the treasury?" ”

The prince said seriously: "Erchen is the prince of the country, the country is the family, and the home is the country." It is natural for the sons to pay the money! ”

The emperor nodded slightly, and his smile widened.

Hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, his head turned slightly sideways, looked at someone behind him, and saw that the other party nodded slightly, so he turned around and listened attentively to the performance of the other courtiers.

The prince who returned to the East Palace was full of spring breeze, and Lao Jiu was right, as long as he could help his father solve the problem of money and food, his father would definitely look at him differently.

A little father-in-law handed over the tea and waited carefully. The prince hummed an unknown tune, took the teacup and tasted it slowly.

The prince walked in, looked at the leisurely prince, lowered his head and took a few steps forward, shook off the dust, and handed the account book in the tray up. "Your Highness, this is the account book you wanted, and the old slave brought it."

This is the account book of the gold mine, which has been kept by the prince, and the prince only comes at the end of the month every month to look at it once a month. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly wanted to look at the account books, which made the prince a little puzzled.

When the prince heard that the account book had been brought over, he hurriedly put down the teacup, picked up the booklet and opened it carefully. He didn't look at the previous content, but only looked for the last page, wanting to see the amount on the account.

When he saw the amount of 10,000 taels, the prince smiled reassuringly. With all this gold, what is there to worry about?

The crown prince snapped the account book shut and asked the prince, "Is this gold available in the treasury now?" ”

The prince was stunned when he was asked, and then he thought that the prince had never asked much about these things, and he didn't know that there were some things. He hurriedly explained: "The queen mother is afraid that so much gold will be stored in the East Palace, which will be too conspicuous, so she will only let Yun 10,000 taels come over every month." The rest are all in Liujia Town. ”

"Ten thousand taels? How is that enough? I also need to have 100,000 taels of gold. Quickly send someone to Liujia Town and bring in all the gold. The prince's idea was simple, he wanted to exchange the gold for his father's favor. As for how much purchasing power this gold has, His Royal Highness the Prince, who does not take up money and rice, really doesn't know.

"One hundred thousand taels? This...... That's too much, isn't it? The queen mother has repeatedly explained that she can't ......" When the princess heard the figure of 100,000 taels, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly dissuaded the prince. It's just that his words haven't been spoken yet, and they have been interrupted by the prince.

The prince's words were a little impatient: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, why are you using Queen Mother to press me all day long?" Hurry up and let them transport it, the sooner the better, the palace has an emergency. ”

The prince would not casually accept because of the prince's impatience, this matter was too big, so he had to persuade patiently: "Your Royal Highness, this matter has been explained by the queen mother repeatedly, do you want to tell the queen mother first?" ”

When the prince heard this, he was anxious, "Why are you so verbose." Such an idea is a trivial matter, and you still have to report to the queen mother? This palace is the one who wants to be the emperor in the future, is it impossible to obey the orders of the queen mother in everything? ”

The more the prince spoke, the more angry he became, his eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at the prince, and he said fiercely: "You dog slave, you can see clearly, who is your master." If you listen to the queen mother's orders in everything, go back to the queen mother's side, there is no shortage of people here in this palace! ”

Where does the prince dare to argue with the prince? I reluctantly agreed to go out. But that's not what he thinks in his heart. He has followed the prince for many years and knows the prince's ability and personality very well. Especially for this kind of key issue of right and wrong, even if he risks offending the prince, he has to do it. Otherwise, the prince would fall, and the rest of them would fall with him.

The prince walked out of the prince's study, looked left and right, hesitated for a long time, and then walked into the West Cross Courtyard.

The courtyard was still as quiet as ever, only a few bamboos in front of the window swayed in the wind, making a little rustling sound. Crossing the gap in the bamboo leaves, the prince saw a silver masked face in front of the window, looking down at something. The mask that was originally a little eerie shone in the sunlight, and even the other half of the face was brought out by the light with a somewhat strange look.

As soon as the prince walked into the courtyard, he was discovered by the man in front of the window. With a polite smile on half of Wu Xun's face, he had already greeted him: "The prince is coming, and he is not welcome!" Hurry up, please! ”

Although the prince was just a eunuch, Wu Xun knew his weight in this East Palace, so he naturally didn't dare to despise it.

The prince was a little polite, and then took the lead into the house. This room was carefully arranged by him on the orders of the crown prince, but now that I look at it, it is very different from the beginning. The glitz and glitz of the house have long been gone, and the few simple furnishings that remain faintly reveal the elegant taste of the owner.

As soon as the prince took his seat, he bluntly told the prince what he had just commanded. As for the wealth and wealth evasion, he has no worries. Because Wu Xun has known about the gold mine for a long time, and many of the affairs are personally participated in by this Wu Changshi.

Wu Xun pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Since His Royal Highness has ordered so, the prince will do it." ”

The prince hesitated: "It's just that this is contrary to the instructions of the queen mother, in case something goes wrong, the Sprinkle family can't afford it!" ”
