Painting Mei Xuan in the west courtyard of the plum garden.

Prince Ning Zhiyi was standing in front of the window of painting Mei Xuan at the moment, looking at the plum garden outside the window.

Of course, the plum blossoms are not yet in full bloom at this time, so there is not much to admire in that plum garden.

He didn't look at those bare plum trees, he looked lonely!

Lonely because he has felt the warmth and coldness of this world, and he has also felt the changes in the current situation!

Once, the Dingguo Mansion, the Cheng Mansion of the Duke of Cheng, and the Mansion of the State of Qi, including the eldest grandson Jinghong, were actually secretly silently supporting him, hoping that he could win in this party struggle and finally sit on the dragon chair.

So although he has been extremely low-key over the years, he has also been paying attention to the government and politics conscientiously, dealing with those pieces that are not valued by Ji Tai.

He wishes he could do better.

The first is to live up to the expectations of these people, and the second is to ...... If he had sat on that dragon chair, there would have been fewer deaths in this court.

In his opinion, many officials in Ji Tai's party are not heinous, but just afraid of Ji Tai's obscenity.

Therefore, he gained a reputation for generosity and benevolence in the court.

But now, they seem to be more biased towards the eldest brother.

In this regard, he felt a little lost in his heart.

Now this eldest brother suddenly did it with great fanfare in the Supervision Department, and there were not only people from the Imperial City Division, but also many old people who had been in the Supervision Department.

There's only one thing they're doing –

Clarify the sins of the officials in the Qing Dynasty!

It is clear what Li Chenan wants to do.

As a result, everyone in the court and the central ministers were in danger, and it seemed that it had no effect to go to the political hall to find Ji Tai, so they found the East Palace!

The East Palace, which was originally deserted, has suddenly become lively in the past few days.

But this kind of excitement is not what Ning Zhiyi wants, and those ministers did not come to him to talk about state affairs, but ...... Come and tell him the grievances in your heart like a resentful woman!

They did not scold Li Chenan by name, but pointed the finger at the Supervision Department.

said that those officials of the Supervision Department colluded with the imps of the Imperial City Division, and they were fabricating the charges of the officials of the DPRK and China, and I heard that there was an intention to wipe out the officials of the DPRK and China, because the two prisons of the Ministry of Officials and Dali Temple are now taken over by the people of the Imperial City Division!

It's not in order!

Li Chen'an did this, although the starting point was good, he was to purge the rule of officials, but now everyone in the court is in danger, so that the entire court is paralyzed.

Ay......

This royal brother, the medicine is too fierce!

Just when Ning Zhiyi was thinking so, Li Chenan came to Painted Meixuan.

"Your Highness,"

Li Chenan shouted very enthusiastically, Ning Zhiyi turned around, and Li Chenan said again: "Empty-handed?"

Ning Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, and his chubby face showed a hint of surprise, "Ah...... I forgot that you moved today, and tomorrow I will send someone to send a big gift, what are you missing?"

Li Chenan grinned: "Your Highness, please take a seat!"

The two sat opposite each other, and Li Chenan lit the tea stove, "This courtyard is quite big, not to mention that there are really a lot of things missing." ”

"For example, Your Highness can give me some ......"

"Rosewood carved tables and chairs, Huanghuali Eight Immortals Standing Cabinet, Vermilion Lacquer Painted Gold Flower Pattern Frame, Ebony Gilded Treasure Elephant Entwined Branch Bed, Three Pine and Cypress Meilan Pattern Screens, By the way, a little green jade entwined branch lotus pattern bottle, cloisonné enamel dishes......"

"That's about it, thank you to Your Highness first!"

Ning Zhiyi's face suddenly turned green!

His originally small eyes are now wide open!

Because of these utensils, even if it is his prince's East Palace, he can't take out two pieces.

Li Chen'an boiled a pot of tea, and when he looked up, he saw the embarrassment on the prince's face, "Don't worry, I have to go to Shuangjiao Mountain to suppress bandits soon, you prepare slowly...... If it's more troublesome to organize, you can convert it into silver and give it to me. ”

Ning Zhiyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling that he had made a great mistake when he came to the plum garden today!

He doesn't have much silver in the East Palace!

Over the years, the East Palace has been living frugally, and even the palace maids in the palace have only left three and can't afford to raise them.

Li Chen'an's lion opened his mouth widely, and roughly calculated, if these utensils were converted into silver...... I'm afraid it will cost 30,000 taels!

Ning Zhiyi shuddered, "This ......"

Before he could continue, he was interrupted by Li Chen'an.

At this moment, Li Chenan's face became serious.

He stared at Ning Zhiyi, "I know you can't take out so much silver!

"What I want you to understand is that silver is a good thing!"

"It doesn't just make you live well, it allows you to do a lot of things...... For example, recruit masters to form your own personal guard!"

"For example, recruit talents from all over the world, become your guest, and your think tank will give you advice!"

"For example, a prince who is not short of silver will be more liked by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, because money can make ghosts grind!"

"Isn't that vulgar?"

"Your Highness, this thing is a vulgar thing! The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit!"

"I admit that there are people in the world who are noble in their thoughts, in order to realize their ideals, but this kind of person is really rare, even if it is this kind of person, they have to dress and eat!"

"Your Highness, how many private properties are there in the East Palace......? Why are you fighting for the world?!"

Li Chen'an's words were so heavy that Ning Zhiyi's brain was buzzing, and his chubby face was red and white, he was ashamed, and fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his head.

He didn't get angry because he found that Li Chenan's words were irrefutable!

"Your Highness, good medicine is good for sickness, and good words are good for deeds. ”

"I shouldn't have said these words, but if I didn't say them, my heart would be panicked, and I would be uncomfortable when I saw your aggrieved appearance in the East Palace!"

"You are the crown prince! You are the prince! You are the emperor of the future Ning Kingdom!"

"Your generosity and kindness are good qualities, but there should be a moderation...... Because others will take advantage of your generosity and kindness to seek their interests, and they will scold you for being stupid behind your back!"

Li Chenan didn't say anything more, he had to leave some time for Ning Zhiyi to digest.

He poured two cups of tea, handed one over, waited for a moment, suddenly leaned over, and whispered, "I know you are in a difficult situation, because you are not good at making money." ”

"I'm good at this! I'll help you earn it, and I'll split the account fifty-fifty!"

Ning Zhiyi forgot the purpose of his coming here, and at this moment he also looked at Li Chenan, "How can you make money?"

"Mines, salt wells, transportation, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and sideline fishing, etc., are all chickens that lay golden eggs!"

"After His Highness returns to the palace, think about it carefully, see what things can be in your hands, and wait for my Shuangjiao Mountain bandits to return...... Let's discuss it carefully. ”

"I promise it will only take a year, you East Palace...... But it's splendid!"

Ning Zhiyi swallowed another mouthful of saliva, "Really?"

"What am I lying to you for?"

"However, you really should lose weight, starting tomorrow morning, you will run three laps around your East Palace!"

"If you persevere, I will help you get rich. ”

"If you can't hold on...... You know I'm not short of silver!"
