Chapter 559: Frightened

As far as the eldest princess knows, the eighth prince has not been favored all these years, and he has not received any real problems. It is quite not easy to make a living under the hands of the abolished prince and the abolished queen. Indeed, the wealth saved is probably some rewards and fortunes! However, if the eighth prince takes out the 200,000 taels of silver, he can get a good reputation, so why not do it? You must know that as the first choice of the crown prince, the more famous the Eighth Prince is, the greater the chance of the Eighth Prince winning in the future. And why the abolished prince will be pushed by everyone, one thing is very important, the reputation of the abolished prince is bad, one is unfilial piety to the abolished queen, the second is unkind to the people, and the third is ruthless and unrighteous to the late crown princess.

At the beginning, the late crown princess Gao's maiden family, but she gave the waste prince eye medicine, although Gao Da's character is average, but he is ranked first here in his father's place. The Gao family let the prince be like that, and they will definitely take revenge on the abolished prince and find every opportunity to retaliate, otherwise they can avenge the princess Gao now? How did Princess Gao die, who doesn't know in this capital, it's not because the abolished prince connived at the Han family, so the Han family dared to attack Princess Gao one after another, and finally Princess Gao died after a month of miscarriage.

Now although the Eighth Prince is here to seek justice for the soldiers in the border city, He Zeng is not trying to win people's hearts. Whether it is in the army or in the minds of the people, the eighth prince was originally an unknown prince, and his reputation will become more and more obvious. When the reputation of the eighth prince spread all over the capital, the eighth prince estimated that he would not be far from becoming the crown prince. At that time, it is extremely difficult to say whether the Eighth Prince will be able to ask for the lives of the people and get close to the loyal ministers like he is now.

The eldest princess didn't know if the Eighth Prince was really like this, or if it was all for show, but the eldest princess felt that no matter which one it was, at least he had this intention, and it was better than abolishing the prince and not doing anything. Maybe the eldest princess was born in the royal family and has seen too much deceit, so it is difficult to completely trust a person. For example, for the Eighth Prince, the eldest princess has always been in a wait-and-see state, and has never thought of completely putting her net worth on the Eighth Prince. The eldest princess has planned well, and she must handle the relationship with the eighth prince well. The first thing is to understand the Eight Princes step by step and know whether the Eight Princes are really bad guys or fake villains.

Sure enough, the words of the eighth prince made the ministers and magnates below extremely embarrassed, and they really didn't know how to answer. Is it difficult to admit that he is involved with Han Yuntian, or take the initiative to donate silver? This eldest princess is not easy to mess with, and now it seems that the eighth prince is even more difficult to deal with. A few words from people have a full sense of existence in front of the emperor, such a prince who is for the country and the people, is it strange that the emperor doesn't like it?

As for the other two princes, after seeing the eighth prince sitting in the position of the former prince, they began to be faintly unconvinced, and began to want to find the fault of the eighth prince. But I didn't expect the banquet to come here, and it was full of the stage of the Eighth Prince from beginning to end. The eighth prince has completely become a good prince for the country and the people, and he looks like he is asking for the life of the soldiers in the border city, as if he has the most sense of justice, the most responsibility, and the most for the people in the whole capital.

But people donated all their net worth, and although the other princes couldn't say that they didn't put 200,000 silver in their eyes, it was a little difficult for anyone to take out 200,000 taels of silver. And if the princes want to compete for the throne, the most lacking thing is silver, if there is no silver, what can they do to win over the minister to work for themselves? Therefore, now let them donate 200,000 taels of silver, it is not a question of whether they can take it or not. But in the eyes of those princes, they don't think it's worth it.

The 200,000 taels of silver should naturally be used for the throne, not for those lowly soldiers. Naturally, it is extremely normal for them to have such thoughts, if they don't think like this, let the Eighth Emperor be persuaded in a few clicks, then what would be strange?

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, nodded again and again, and in the face of the impassioned statement of the eighth prince, even the emperor himself was moved. And what the eighth prince said is indeed something that the emperor has been investigating. This silver is the foundation of the country, if the soldiers do not get the remuneration they deserve, why should they sell their lives, why should they defend the country.

Of course, the most infuriating thing is that these powerful ministers actually scrape the silver of the treasury step by step, which the emperor cannot tolerate. In the past, the abolished prince had been conniving at these people, wanting to use these people to ascend to the throne earlier. But now that the waste prince has fallen, it seems that he is cleaning up these people by himself. And with the evidence of Han Yuntian's arch, the elite circle in the capital should also be cleaned up. Otherwise, how can the latecomers prevail, if the capital has been controlled by these old magnates, then what is the imperial power?

Therefore, what the emperor wants to do most now is not how to do it, but to use Han Yuntian's matter to directly clean up these people. This will be said by the Eighth Emperor, which just makes these people have a number in their hearts, knowing that their emperor is not a faint king, and they can not only handle it.

"Second prince, Marquis of Wuning, what don't you want to do for the soldiers in the border city?" Although the emperor said it lightly or seriously, his eyes were clearly warning.

Sure enough, the second prince and the Marquis of Wuning looked at each other, and the second prince said with an embarrassed face: "Father, it's not that the sons don't want to donate, but the sons don't have so many belongings, so how can they donate?" ”

The emperor was not angry, and the ambition of the second prince came out of the crown prince after he was deposed, so he pressed step by step. is quite close to the powerful people in the court, and I believe that the second prince spent a lot of money to please those powerful people! The emperor felt hateful, and the dignified prince actually wanted to curry favor with the minister, which really lost the face of the royal family. "Really? Then I will first give you these two hundred thousand taels of silver, and it will be deducted from your money and reward. ”

The second prince was relieved, thinking that his father would not trouble him anymore, but it turned out like this. The second prince is really crying and laughing! How so? The father actually robbed it, and it was no problem to deduct it from his own money and reward, but what should he do next? The second prince looked puzzled: "Father, you can't embarrass your sons like this, your sons are now older, they have their own things to do, and naturally they also need silver, how can you donate all the silver of your sons to those soldiers?" ”

The emperor is really angry at the natural appearance of the second prince, if this son becomes the emperor, I am afraid that the imperial power will have to be taken away by the magnates, and the second prince will be a puppet emperor in name in the future. Maybe in the end, the country will have to be taken away by the magnates, so the prince who can't keep the family business, the emperor will naturally not hand over the country to him.
