Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Emperor's Entanglement
Therefore, the eldest prince and the second prince have always been unable to figure out where the account books came from, after inquiring openly and secretly, the eldest prince and the second prince have only recently vaguely gotten a little news, knowing that the prefect of Yangzhou turned out to be in it, this time, the eldest prince and the second prince hated Wang Sheng, if he wasn't nosy, how could he be reprimanded by his father!
The eldest prince and the second prince couldn't help but hold a grudge, and the second prince couldn't hold his breath, of course, when he gave the order, he didn't know that the Lu Dao Cao Gang had changed the dynasty.
So, a few days later, the bearded man got a message, and he couldn't help but discuss with the gloomy man what to do.
I only listened to the gloomy like of the saying: "Big boss, I think, the second prince is the prince after all, although those officials before were dismissed, but, after all, we are still under the protection of the second prince, if we don't do it, it is difficult to ensure that the second prince does not find a reason to destroy us, and when the time comes, won't the gains outweigh the losses?" Besides, if the Yangzhou prefect is not a bad breed, there is nothing to be afraid of in this matter, although the Yangzhou prefect is indeed a good official, then even if we are pretentious, it is okay, and it is best not to offend at both ends! ”
"However, you also said that the prefect of Yangzhou is a good official, and the second prince is the emperor of Tiangao, and he supported the big boss at that time, and now I don't know that we have changed people, if we follow the previous practice, what is the difference between us and the previous big boss?"
"That's different, the big boss, the former big boss, he only cares about himself, he doesn't care about his brothers at all, if it weren't for his maternal uncle is a big official of Caoyun, who cares about him? However, we are different, not to mention that Caoyun is now doing things completely in accordance with the regular rules. Even you are different, you really take care of us, the brothers spend more every month, and you don't have to live the same days as before, in the past, the brothers were going to be shouted and killed, but since you became a big boss, who doesn't say that the Cao Gang is righteous? "Gloomy like persuasion.
The beard naturally knew that it was an exaggeration to say that it was an exaggeration to say that he was taking care of his brothers, in fact. It's just that the brothers of the gang are no longer taking a head on things, and the casino has other profits, such as the Qinglou, and some of them are distributed to the brothers in the Cao Gang. They are not allowed to disturb the people, as for the way of wealth. He sought it for them.
The beard groaned. said: "However, I still think it's inappropriate, the county official might as well be in charge now, our Cao Gang, in fact, to put it bluntly, is a big target." Those who are more powerful than us want to threaten us, if we do what the second prince says, when the time comes, if something happens. We are burdened, but the second prince has no loss! It's okay to say that the Yangzhou prefect is a mediocre person, but haven't you noticed that the behavior of the Yangzhou prefect has been much worse than the previous style? It shows that this prefect is not only a city government, but also very tolerant, where can we afford such an official! ”
Thinking about it, I think it's the same, but if you don't give the second prince an answer, it won't work, and I can't help but feel a little dilemma, at this time, some villains in the Cao Gang took the opportunity to jump out.
This time, the bearded man was forced to agree under pressure, but the bearded man also said: "If you really want to act according to the orders of the second prince, it is not impossible, but we are not working in vain, the current Yangzhou City, and even the entire Nanjiang River, are not the world of the second prince, why should we work so hard for the second prince, we only make a move, if we can't solve it this time, then, we won't shoot again, we can be regarded as repaying the friendship of the previous two princes, If the second prince refuses, we have no choice, and we have to survive, brothers, do you say? Not to mention that it is not the world of the second prince now, that is, when it was the world of the second prince in the past, it was also when they ate meat and we drank soup, in fact, why bother now! ”
"But our lives aren't much better now!" A brother of the Cao Gang, although he was shaken by what the bearded man said, he still insisted on his opinion.
In fact, this is also the reason why the bearded man can't completely veto everyone's proposal for anything, the bearded man sighed and said, "If everyone agrees, let's do it according to this method!" ”
The Wang family still doesn't know anything about these, the new year has passed, Wang Sheng's officialdom career seems to be more moisturized, and the officials under him are familiar with this period of time, and they can also be called very easily, and the assessment standards formulated by Wang Sheng before can also be fully implemented.
However, in the capital is a bleak, originally last year the salt tax fangs were almost pulled out, the emperor is also in good spirits on happy occasions, the world seems to be very beautiful, in addition to the two sons are more disappointed, the third prince is more and more important, the emperor even thought about the marriage of Lin Shijie's second daughter Lin Tianyue, according to the previous Wang family girl, last year was able to get the account book Ha thanks to Lin Tianyue's help, if not, the Wang family's girl can not find the account book so quickly.
Therefore, Lin Tianyue must be rewarded, in fact, if Wang Ya doesn't say that, even if Lin Tianyue provides useful information, the emperor will be unhappy, after all, Lin Tianyue obviously has important clues in his hands, but he doesn't say it, if he doesn't tell others, if he doesn't tell himself, will he hurt her? It's still a secret!
Isn't this a sign of distrust of yourself? should also have his own careful thoughts, how can the emperor tolerate such a person!
And Wang Ya said this at the time, in fact, it was also for his own fellow traveler, the emperor's heart did not say that the eight or nine masters were not far from ten, Wang Ya at least knew a little bit about the way, that is, the person in power, what he liked most was to control everything in others, and he couldn't allow others to have a little bit of his own careful thinking, not to mention that your careful thinking was against the person in power, that is, the person in power could not tolerate it, this is what everyone knows, and even more, if you are careful, it doesn't matter, as long as you are not discovered, If the ruler knows it in his heart, it is good that he thinks that you are still in his control, but if your careful thinking is not discovered by the controller, then, until it is discovered later, then there is only one situation in the mind of the controller: that is, you are disloyal and want to betray!
Maybe it's not that serious, but the person in power will definitely not let you fool the past so much, every person in power, the desire to control is extremely strong, to put it bluntly, and there is also a little cautious, so, once there is such a time, then, it will leave a thorn in the heart of the person in power, leaving a shadow!
Therefore, Wang Ya will say what Lin Tianyue is restless, it seems that Lin Tianyue has been greatly monitored even in the palace, when the matter of knowing Lu Dao is related to the second prince of the eldest prince, and adding Wang Ya's words, the emperor will not think that Lin Tianyue is deliberately deceiving, but thinks that the hand of the eldest prince and the second prince is too long, so Lin Tianyue does not dare to report even if he knows the news, which is understandable!
It is also for this reason that the emperor does not mind thinking about who he wants to give Lin Tianyue to at this time, from the beginning Lin Tianyue has been very alert, and in these days in the palace, he is also not shocked, he is worthy of being the beloved daughter of Lin Qing's family, this family is good, plus Lin Tianyue's age is not young, the marriage is certain, and it can't be too late, if it's too late, it will inevitably cause gossip, at least those imperial histories may say that it is inappropriate for them to neglect the daughter of the hero.
However, looking left and right, the princes who marry at the right age are only the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince, but the fifth prince is obviously a playboy, and the three princes are almost all born in the same year, but their personalities are very different, the character of the third prince is the most stable and serious, and the fourth prince is very gentle, as if nothing can arouse his interest, he is still a piano idiot, the fifth prince, needless to say, there is no positive shape with a hippie smile all day long, this is now, except for the eldest prince has a big princess, There are not even as many concubines in the backyard as there are five princes in the backyard now, so the five princes are definitely not good.
The words of the fourth prince are a piano idiot, this son himself likes it very much, he is gentle and simple, the emperor is afraid that Lin Tianyue is too shrewd, and the four princes can't control it; The second prince and the third prince are okay.
However, the emperor thought a little too much, first of all, the second prince and Lin Tianyue seemed to be implicated in a little revenge for killing his father, the emperor didn't know if Lin Tianyue married his enemy, if he knew the truth, would it make the second prince's backyard restless? Moreover, if Lin Tianyue's ambition is too big, and he plans to ascend to the throne with the second prince, it will also be a problem to cause party disputes at that time.
But if you marry the third prince, it seems that you are a little unqualified, and the princess of the third prince may be the future mother of the country, then, you must be cautious in choosing people, and you are also worried that Lin Tianyue is too shrewd, if you know that the second prince and the eldest prince are her father-killing enemies, the heavenly family is ruthless enough, and there are many things that fight for power and profit and let brothers kill each other, if Lin Tianyue knows about the affairs of the eldest prince and the second prince in his heart at that time, and blows the pillow wind in front of his third son all day long, when the time comes, Even if his son didn't want to kill his two brothers, he might be bewitched.
Therefore, if he wants Lin Tianyue to marry which prince, the emperor really thinks a lot about which prince he should marry to, and if he really wants to marry the third prince, the princess of the second prince must also be ready, otherwise, he will definitely think that he is partial.
