Chapter 173: Counting the Silver
Regarding the matter of Lao Dao, Cheng Dong's suggestion was to send the killing guards to investigate, investigate one by one from the place where Lao Dao appeared, and collect evidence.
Anyone who has done it will leave traces, and Cheng Dong believes that as long as he investigates carefully, he will definitely be able to debunk the details of the old way.
Other than that, they couldn't think of a better way.
So the five princes ordered the killing guards to go out to investigate the origin of the old way, and after solving the matter, the five princes took out the invitation of the eldest prince and sneered:
"What do you think of this chrysanthemum feast?"
The fifth prince didn't believe that the eldest prince would kindly invite him to appreciate chrysanthemums, that guy didn't like chrysanthemums and flowers at all, and the eldest prince's favorite was orchids.
Cheng Dong took the invitation in his hand and swept it over, then transferred it to Wang Sai, and finally passed it to Liu Qing, and after reading it, the three of them fell into contemplation again.
The eldest prince's move must have a deep meaning, and it is not clear who he wants to calculate.
Those present are all masters who have experienced storms and waves, and believe in one sentence: there is no good feast.
"Your Highness should avoid calling it sick." For a long time, Cheng Dong gave advice that doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times is one thing to be able to do one thing less.
Wang Sai shook the folding fan and wrinkled his brows, first looked at the expressions of the five princes, and saw that the five princes were moved, so he also followed the persuasion.
The goal of the eldest prince's move is unknown, avoid it, who let us be at a disadvantage now.
Secretly reminded the fifth prince that his status is not as good as that of the eldest prince, and he must be scrupulous in his actions and things, and he cannot be as arrogant and comfortable as before.
After hearing this, the fifth prince's heart was even more blocked, why couldn't he act and act like before, it was not because of the rumors.
If he knows who made the yin hand, he will definitely not let the other party go.
However, Liu Qing's brain circuit is Qingqi, thinking that the five princes should attend the banquet, everyone thinks that the five princes will fall this time, if they avoid it, it will only make people believe in the news more.
Avoidance will make the hearts of the five princes scatter, and it is true that the five princes want to get out of trouble, and the hearts of the people cannot be dispersed, and if the hearts of the people are scattered, the team will be scattered.
Now the emperor hasn't done much, and the fifth prince himself has lost confidence first, just afraid that it will lead to jokes.
The banquet of the eldest prince cannot be refused, and he must make a high-profile appearance, and he must use his actions to tell those who follow the five princes that the five princes are fine, and everything is nothing.
Liu Qing's point of view was different from that of Cheng Dong, and the five princes were silent for a while after hearing this, thinking about it left and right, and felt that what everyone said made sense.
Avoidance has the advantages of avoidance, and the beauty of attendance is really a dilemma.
Should we avoid it or not?
After the five princes were silent, they slapped the table and decided, he wanted to make a high-profile appearance, he couldn't let his team disperse, and he couldn't let those who watched his jokes continue to watch jokes.
He is not meat on the board, and he weighs himself before chopping him.
The fifth prince will have this ambition mainly because Princess Xiangxiang is not light, he is kind enough to give gifts to please Princess Xiangxiang, and the dead woman doesn't respond, forget it, and return to slap her face.
This angry five princes are uncomfortable, and they really can't bear it anymore.
Wang Sai and Cheng Dong saw that the five princes had made up their minds, and neither of them persuaded them again, mainly because what Liu Qing said was also reasonable, and people's hearts were very important.
The news of the eldest prince's invitation spread quickly, and everyone in Yanjing knew that the eldest prince had set up a chrysanthemum banquet, but not everyone could receive the invitation.
Those who can't receive the invitation can only show envious eyes.
In the Songlin Courtyard, the general really returned in the sunset, with a deep tiredness on his face, Fang Xu who saw it was distressed for a while, and complained while helping the general deliver water.
"You woman, you don't want to die when you work, there are so many people in the barracks, if you give your work to you, it's over, why do you have to bow down to everything."
"Xianggong, the barracks are full of people, don't look at the small barracks, there are at least eight factions in it, some things don't go to watch in person, I'm afraid of messing up."
The general smiled helplessly, the military camp in the capital is not a border barracks, and it can't be said in a word, there are great gods everywhere, and if you move one, you will offend a mountain.
The Dingguo Mansion is already on the cusp now, and the general doesn't want to offend more people, besides, the forbidden army is not her descendant, she is only temporarily training.
It's okay if nothing happens, there is no merit, but if something happens, it must be a big mistake, and there will be a bunch of big mouths to bite her.
The general said his difficulties, Fang Xu was even more distressed, it turned out that the general saw it very clearly, and he also understood it in his heart, alas, he didn't know what it was like to be tired.
Let the maid quickly put the food on the table, and warm the general's stomach first.
Seeing that Fang Xu was busy, the general's eyes became as gentle as water, the corners of his mouth raised a shallow smile, and his heart was warm, this is still her home.
After dinner, Fang Xu led everyone to the study to check the boxes of gold and silver, and the general's eyes were glowing with gold, and he was also shocked to the point that he couldn't do it.
"Well, let's do business and make money quickly." Fang Xu said.
"No, in fact, embezzlement is the fastest way to get money." Jing Hao interjected beside him, and after speaking, he winked at Fang Xu, and Fang Xu had a black line on his face, this is to expose his old bottom.
"It's good to be quiet, don't talk nonsense." The general hurriedly stopped Jing Hao's jokes, Wu Anbo's corruption really can't be joked, and it's all a trick to spread it.
The last time he was taken by the imperial history is vivid, if it weren't for Wu Anbo's deep heart, he would have been in prison with rats as his companion.
Jing Hao stuck out his tongue and said nothing, picked up the ledger next to him and looked at it.
Fang Xu didn't care about this joke, he counted the gold with the general, it was really too hidden.
"Xianggong, so much gold can buy a lot of grain again." The general's eyebrows and eyes bent when he touched the gold and smiled, and the lines changed from resolute to soft.
"Yes, there will be a large amount of silver income every month in the future, and there is no need to worry about money." Fang Xu said with a smile.
The general nodded fiercely, especially recognizing Fang Xu's words, since marrying Fang Xu, she has not worried about money for a long time, she believes that the silver she needs will be earned back.
In fact, this intuition is really accurate, and you don't have to worry about silver in the future.
"Has the household department pulled grain and grass for the border pass?" Fang Xu asked.
"Pull out some, only enough to stuff the teeth, if there is no support from the minister, I really don't know how to face the border soldiers." The general smiled wryly.
I thought that Emperor Yan would be generous in pulling out silver and pulling things, but I didn't expect to be so stingy.
"Have you ever thought that the household department really has no money and food?"
Fang Xu opened a brain hole, he remembered that there were really few rich treasury in the history books, and the treasury was nominally the richest, but in fact it was also one of the poorest places.
"No, the Yan Kingdom has been in good weather in the past few years, there have been no major disasters, and the treasury has no money and grain, so where has the money and grain gone?"
The general glared at Mei and Mei, quite surprised by Fang Xu's guess, and did not think that the three-year campaign could empty the treasury.
