Prince Qing looked at Zuo Chen in front of the bookcase, the half-grown child in front of him was determined to do business, and he couldn't say whether it was good or bad. As far as Zuo Chen said, it is not entirely unreasonable, the key question is how he can consider the problem so maturely and in the long term. This is not something that a child should consider, or be able to consider.

"Even if you want to do business, you take your own Yangguan Road, will anyone dare to intercept your financial path?" After the prince finished speaking lightly, he still carefully blew into the teacup, maybe it was the heat of the water or maybe there were really tea leaves floating.

"If you are really robbed, then you are not unjustly killed! Thinking of Bai Huahua's silver being wasted, my heart was panicked. Zuo Chen's eyes widened, his hand stroked his chest, and his mouth was full of money, and his heart-scratching appearance was overflowing.

The prince was finally amused by Zuo Chen's funny actions, and said, "What a wealth fan!" ”

Zuo Chen, who immediately turned into a smiling face, begged and said, "My grandson earns a few taels of silver to spend, but grandpa can't just watch it go down the drain." Blinking, hoping that the prince would give him a satisfactory answer.

"If there is a problem with the waterway in Zhezhou, go to your uncle to theorize. You kid keeps staring at me, what can I do? The prince said.

Zuo Chen listened to the words of the prince, and he really felt deflated. This old man simply didn't get in the oil and salt, and he pushed it with a good hand Tai Chi, and in a blink of an eye, he pushed it to the Zhezhou inspector. Zuo Chen estimated that if his uncle Yu Xianmin listened, he would have two big heads.

"Let's not say that you are a child, in terms of your net worth and status, you are already worry-free, what are you doing with so much silver?" The prince talked about it at this time, and he couldn't figure out the problem. Obviously, children of the same age are only thinking about eating, drinking, and having fun at this time, tossing and turning with flowers, which one will think about making money? If you don't make up a reason to ask your family for a few taels of silver, you're a good boy.

Zuo Chen knew that he had to be cautious when talking about such a problem with the prince. If you don't pay attention to what you say, or if you say something like at home, if you don't get it right, it will make the old man suspicious, just like the old man said, it may even affect the family if you invite death.

"Grandpa, you don't know how enjoyable it is to put the silver on the ground and look at it, this is one of them. Second, in the future, there will be more money saved, which can help the disabled people, and they will be pitiful in times of natural disasters. Zuo Chen tried to keep the child's mentality to answer. As for the lofty ideals of developing the army and manipulating the economy, he would never dare to show it in front of this old man, and Zuo Chen still had this self-knowledge in his heart.

When the prince saw that Zuo Chen was a child, a stone finally fell to the ground in his heart. Self-deprecating and cautious are a little too much, and it's a little funny to think about a child as if he is facing a great enemy. Thinking like this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zuo Chen saw that the prince was smiling naturally, and it didn't seem to be deceitful. He said again: "Grandpa, you have to think of a good way for your grandson, if you finally save some money, buy a boatload of goods and be robbed by the bandits, your grandson will eat and drink in the house, wouldn't it be troublesome for you to talk about it every day?" ”

"You're still up to me? Besides, I haven't been out of Kyoto for more than ten years, so how can I help you? The prince said with a wry smile.

Zuo Chen didn't know what to do, and said in surprise: "With your identity, you don't want to go wherever you want?" ”

The prince is really a little depressed, where is this! Talking about how to talk about this direction. Taking a deep breath, I thought that sooner or later Zuo Chen would know, it was better to tell him now, it was not a very embarrassing thing.

Coughing and clearing his throat, the prince said, "For specific reasons, I don't want to talk to you too much now." Actually, I was under house arrest in Kyoto, and I could go anywhere within Kyoto, including the Imperial Palace, which ordinary people couldn't go. Alas! For more than ten years, there have been several times with the emperor to hunt in the suburbs of Beijing, and the rest of the time is in the capital. ”

Only then did Zuo Chen know that the prince was under house arrest by the emperor in Kyoto.

"He's worried about you?" Zuo Chen didn't dare to point directly at the emperor, as long as the prince could understand it.

The prince nodded and said, "So, I can't help you." ”

Zuo Chen nodded thoughtfully, indicating understanding. But I was thinking in my heart, where can I not help me, I just refuse to help the emperor share his financial troubles! Suddenly, I remembered the source of the prince's intelligence. So how can you explain that it is about the world? Obviously, he didn't help the emperor solve his sorrows, did he have no power or inaction? Then there is the possibility that there is a different mind!

Suddenly, the thought was so startled that Zuo Chen almost bounced up from the chair, and it was not fun to peek into the prince's privacy. Such a rebellious thing as having a different heart is a great sin of disobedience in the mouth of the old man. Although Zuo Chen also has thoughts of disobedience in his heart, the people who know it are limited to his closest family members, and before he causes an incident, even if it is a fire, the family will find a way to cover it. This is different from the prince's secret, if the inference can be established, the prince has the heart to change the dynasty.

Zuo Chen, who was rubbing his face with his hands, hid his shocked expression, but he couldn't suppress the frequency of his heartbeat. Secretly glanced at the prince, and happened to look at each other, becoming more and more nervous, and unable to say anything.

"You kid! I can't help you with how uncomfortable you are like this. The prince said softly, sighed softly and said: "With my current situation, if I participate too much in political affairs, it will not benefit me at all, and the emperor will not be welcome, right?" After finishing speaking, he smiled bitterly at Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen suddenly felt that the prince was very pitiful, and he couldn't participate in the court politics every day, even if he didn't have any different intentions and wanted to do something practical, he also took care of it. It's really pathetic! No, it should be a wretch!

"Grandpa, you said that if you don't get the support of the imperial court, how can you do it more securely." Zuo Chen asked.

"Safe? Without the support of the imperial court, it is not safe to do anything. Dart is a protective helper, how strong can you go? If the number of dart divisions reaches 100, it belongs to the armed forces, and maybe one day they will be destroyed by the government army for a reason. Your father was named a first-class general, didn't he only have three hundred tigers with Jiuxi? After the prince finished speaking, he pouted and shook his head, and took a deep breath.

Although Zuo Chen was born in a military family, it is related to the military system and how the court controls it, the old man did not mention a word, it may be that when Zuo Chen showed his mind to him, the old man deliberately did it.

"That means that the dart shop is also under control, lest it develop into a private army?" Zuo Chen found that some things in the past were too simple, and in this special social environment, it was difficult step by step.

"In the previous dynasties, there was a matter of raising private soldiers, and the imperial court was often unable to command it, once the border was in an emergency, there were no enemy soldiers, and they were all stationed to protect themselves, who cared about the life or death of the imperial court? Later, it slowly changed into the dictatorship of the imperial court, and the imperial court uniformly distributed grain, grass and silver to the soldiers, which was also one of the reasons for the financial urgency. The prince explained Zuo Chen very carefully, as if he was looking for a proper reason for his inability to help Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen didn't understand either, why did the prince say so much to himself, maybe it was just because there was a person who could do whatever he wanted without scruples? Zuo Chen thought, with the experience and status of the prince, it would definitely not be so simple to say this. But in the face of such a topic, he didn't dare to answer easily, and he couldn't understand the true intention of the prince, and if he didn't get it right, it would be self-defeating.

"This is not an opportunity for the water bandits, the merchants can't help the water bandits, and they can't get protection if they want to operate!" Zuo Chen couldn't find a point to answer the prince, so he went around to the old topic again.

The prince actually smiled happily and said, "You are finally enlightened, and it is not very acceptable to understand such a thing." ”

Zuo Chen was said by the prince that "the second monk is confused", why did he open his mind? I'm still confused, why are you happy to think I understand? I understand something! Thinking like this, he couldn't help frowning and looking at the prince.

"The emperor has a trick - containment! The army is contained, and neither army wants to be dominant. Wenchen was restrained, and at any time one department turned over the old accounts of another. Merchants are restrained, taxes are paid, and they are not sheltered. He raised his head, sighed, looked down at Zuo Chen's eyes again, and said, "Do you know why your father can be promoted to a first-class general?" After finishing his words, he raised the corners of his mouth meaningfully.

Zuo Chen shook his head blankly, listening to the tone of the prince, it was not as simple as because of military merits, and he didn't dare to answer arbitrarily.

"Your father's lack of roots is the main reason, which of the high-ranking officials of the imperial court is not intertwined? If you want to say that your father has roots, it is me, I am his roots, and I am his roots. What about me? Isn't it contained in Kyoto by the emperor, isn't it in the hands of the emperor? The prince had a tendency to be emotional for a while, obviously full of complaints, and finally found an object to vent to.

Zuo Chen inadvertently aroused the sadness of the prince. Is there a complaint because of unwillingness, or a complaint because of contempt for the emperor's methods and strategies? Zuo Chen felt that his brain was a little messy, and the mixed information made a mess of his brain, like a hemp rope full of knots mixed together, and the knots couldn't be untied, and the rope couldn't be pulled out. I suddenly felt irritable in my heart, how could it be so complicated with such a little!

My mind was chaotic, and I didn't know how to say goodbye to the prince, and I didn't know how to sit in my own house, like drinking a meal of ecstasy soup, and I didn't have a clue at all. Even how to lie down in bed, I have a vague memory. The only thing he vaguely remembers is that he misses his grandfather and the old man named Liu Lie.
