Chu Tianyi smiled lightly: "The fourth emperor brother is wrong in what he said, now that the snow disaster is serious, we should go all out to relieve the disaster, how can we be greedy for appetite?" Delayed disaster relief, we are in the capital, naturally we don't know the suffering, today's practice is simple, but also to show everyone the king's determination to disaster relief! ”

This is probably the first time Chu Tianyi has said such hypocritical words, Jiang Lige, who was sitting on the side, laughed secretly in his heart, and felt a little uncomfortable, Chu Tianyi, who has always been high, should not be contaminated in the world, but the fact is that his identity is here, and he is destined to learn to be smooth in the world from the beginning.

Prime Minister Ning Cheng stood up and praised: "Yes, yes, the third prince is benevolent, and the people will definitely be grateful for your kindness." ”

Lu Jianye praised: "The three princes are glorious and beautiful, and we are ashamed of ourselves. ”

The ministers praised one after another, the faces of the four princes were pale, and the prince's face was also a little ugly.

Chu Tianyi said modestly: "This king just did what he could, and he couldn't afford such high praise from everyone. ”

Then he said: "The snow disaster is so serious, it is natural to contribute to the snow disaster. ”

The prince had already cleaned up his mood and said: "That is, it is natural to contribute to the snow disaster, but it is just a vegetarian meal, and it is a good thing to save if you can save it." ”

Chu Tianyi smiled lightly: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it is natural to contribute to the snow disaster, the younger brother does have something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the adults need to contribute. ”

A bad premonition flashed in the prince's heart, and he still said, "The third brother might as well tell me what is going on." ”

Chu Tianyi said worriedly: "Now that the disaster relief trip is imminent, the younger brother only has 300,000 taels of silver, which is far from enough, so the younger brother wants the prince and the princes to donate some silver taels." ”

Speaking of which, what else do everyone not understand, it turns out that this is a Hongmen banquet.

The prince's face stiffened, it was not a promise, it was not a promise, it was not a promise, Chu Tianyi was still gloating in his heart, Chu Tianyi would definitely not be able to raise the money, but he didn't expect people to turn around and hit the idea on himself, but he still couldn't say it.

Chu Tianyi said again: "Isn't it the crown prince and the royal brother who are unwilling? ”

The prince gritted his teeth and said with a smile on his face: "Naturally, he is willing." Then he looked at the ministers and said, "It's natural to contribute to the snow disaster, and the adults won't refuse, right?" ”

Zhao Shangshu got up and said with a smile: "It is natural to contribute to the snow disaster, but above the main hall, His Royal Highness the Third Prince boasted of Haikou, and His Royal Highness the Three Princes had their own way to deal with the matter of money. ”

Chu Tianyi smiled lightly: "This is everyone's responsibility for the country and the people, isn't this king's way to get the support of all the adults?" Lord Zhao usually prides himself on loving the country and the people, isn't he talking about it? ”

Zhao Shangshu's face was pale, and he said: "The old minister is naturally a talker. ”

Chu Tianyi also ignored him anymore, looked at the prince and said: "Brother Prince, my father is worried about the country and the people, and he personally gave his brother 100,000 taels of silver yesterday. He looked at the fourth prince and said, "The fourth emperor brother has always taken the crown prince and the royal brother as an example, and the third emperor brother thinks that the fourth emperor brother must also donate 50,000 taels of silver." ”

The prince hesitated: "This palace is just the prince, where is there so much money?" ”

Chu Tianyi said with a smile: "The crown prince and the royal brother said that he was laughing. The younger brother remembered that the birthday gift given to his father by the crown prince and the imperial brother on the Mid-Autumn Festival last time was worth 50,000 taels of gold. ”

The prince gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this 50,000 taels of silver, this palace and the fourth brother agreed." ”

Chu Tianyi said with a smile: "The younger brother thanked the crown prince and the fourth emperor brother for the affected people." ”

The fourth prince wanted to say something, but unfortunately he was stopped by the crown prince.

The crown prince smiled and said: "This is nothing, the third emperor brother is the one who really contributes." This is said with a deep meaning, but it's a pity that Chu Tianyi is who he doesn't care about these threats.

Chu Tianyi looked at the ministers again and said, "The money that your lords give for the people, this king will definitely make a book and present it to his father, and at the same time set an example for future generations." ”

This is said very beautifully, which is equivalent to a slap in the face, and then a sweet date, on the one hand, asking the minister to contribute, and on the other hand, using the emperor's favor and future generations to make a raft.

The Marquis of Zhenbei also stood up at the right time and said: "Benhou is willing to donate one thousand taels of gold from the emperor's reward when he returns to the dynasty." ”

The ministers' faces were very bad, and they originally wanted to give ten taels of gold casually, but the Marquis of Zhenbei came to such a trick, even if they wanted to give ten taels of gold, they couldn't give it.

Prime Minister Ning Cheng was quite indifferent, and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Zhenbei has tried his best so much, and his appearance can't be inferior, right?" Let's donate 1,000 taels of gold as well. ”

Cao Zuo said with a smile: "Cao Mou's sleeves are breezy, but if you still want to do your best, donate five hundred taels of gold." Cao Zuo's heart was also broken, there was no money in Dali Temple, and he finally saved some money by himself, but now he is going to be in the water again, but he didn't expect Brother Jiang to pit his teammates and not change his face.

After the three of them finished singing, what else could the ministers say, donate.

After the donation, Chu Tianyi smiled and said: "Thank you for your generosity, this king will definitely return to his father as he is, and he will leave soon, and I hope that the money will be delivered to your lord before tonight, here." As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and said, "This king Jing'er is waiting for a cup, thank you for the affected people, and at the same time, please forgive me for my rashness today." ”

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the glass.

On this day, the courtiers who originally flocked in were all trembling when they came out, and although they had a smile on their faces, this smile was a little bitter.

From then on, in the eyes of the courtiers, the third prince was no longer the child who was slaughtered.

At night, Jiang Lige looked at a few boxes of gold and silver in the courtyard, and smiled at Chu Tianyi: "You are really black-bellied." ”

Chu Tianyi said with a smile: "That is, if you don't have a dark belly, you will bleed by yourself, although this money is nothing for a husband, but the way is not easy to explain, now the courtiers are paying money, although the process is a little troublesome, but it will not cause trouble for us." ”

Jiang Lige sighed: "Fortunately, I'm not your opponent. ”

Chu Tianyi laughed and said, "Are you afraid of me?" ”

Jiang Lige smiled: "If we don't know each other, of course I'm afraid, but now that you are my husband, your black belly is very cute." ”

Chu Tianyi drew a few black lines on his forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "Cute? ”

Only then did Jiang Lige realize that he had used the wrong word, and said, "Tall and mighty, tall and mighty." ”

Chu Tianyi hugged her in his arms and said with a smile: "I really know more and more about current affairs." ”

Early the next morning, Chu Tianyi set off with Jiang Lige, and only the crown prince and the fourth prince saw him off.

At this time, the prince didn't care so much about the 50,000 taels of silver sent out, and he had a lot of savings in the prince's mansion over the years, looking at Jiang Lige, he said with concern: "Lige, the north and south are far away, and there are bandits in some places, you have to pay more attention." ”

Jiang Lige smiled: "Thank you Brother Tianshuo for your concern, Lige understands." ”

Seeing her smiling like a flower, the prince only felt that he couldn't take his eyes off, and his heart was a little bitter, and he made up his mind, so he looked at Chu Tianyi and said, "Third brother, I don't know when we will meet again, the imperial brother is here to wish you all the best." "But I was thinking in my heart: My father is right, this palace is the crown prince, no matter how good these princes are, they will only be a prince in the future, and if they have a good relationship, they can also let them work for themselves in the future.

Chu Tianyi couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he saw the prince's eyes looking at Jiang Lige, and coped: "Borrowing the auspicious words of the crown prince and the imperial brother, on the day he comes back, he will definitely invite the imperial brother to drink." ”

The prince smiled: "Don't say much, third brother, let's go quickly and come back as soon as possible." ”

Chu Tianyi and Jiang Lige saluted, and Chu Tianyi said, "Brother farewell to the imperial brother." ”

The prince nodded, but couldn't help but look at Jiang Lige, she was still dressed in black, her long hair was tied up, looking indistinguishable between male and female, but it was extremely attractive, seeing her staying by Chu Tianyi's side, the little bird was like a person, and the husband sang with the woman, and there was a little bitterness in her heart.

The two boarded the carriage and slowly left with the food prepared by the household, and in the ice and snow, the originally long convoy slowly turned into a point, and finally disappeared.

The crown prince was stunned, and couldn't help but think, if there are no other women in this palace, if this palace is not the prince, can you take the position of the third brother and stay by your side?

Suddenly, he heard the fourth prince shouting to himself again, and came back to his senses and said, "What are you asking the eldest brother to do?" ”

The fourth prince teased: "Big brother, you don't like Jiang Lige, right?" ”

The prince was exposed to his thoughts, and said angrily: "What nonsense! ”

Chu Tianxiao smiled: "Don't admit it, you've been looking at her, and you haven't even heard your brother call you a few times." ”

The prince said: "You can't say this again in the future, the eldest brother is just looking at the third brother." ”

Chu Tianxiao teased: "There are only two of us brothers here, what is there to hide, besides, the third brother is a man, is it possible that you still like men?" ”

The prince glanced at him and said abruptly: "What if you like it, what if you don't like it, Lige is the wife of the third brother." "Originally, I wanted to say that it was the third princess, but unfortunately the relationship between the two is complicated, strictly speaking, Jiang Lige cannot be called the third princess.

Chu Tianxiao smiled: "Big brother, you are the crown prince, what kind of woman do you want?" Why do you like such a man who is not a man or a woman? ”

The prince said angrily: "What a man is not a man or a woman! Even if you don't like to leave the song anymore, you shouldn't say that, she can have a share in the stability of Nanchu Jiangshan. ”

Chu Tianxiao sneered: "It's just a little girl, it's just a joke, so you take it seriously, big brother." ”

The prince said helplessly: "Big brother doesn't want to talk to you more, you will understand in the future, now that you are not young, you should take a good look at the way of governing the country." ”

Chu Tianxiao said with a disgusted face: "These are your business, eldest brother, the younger brother only needs to eat and drink and not cause trouble for you." ”

The crown prince shook his head, feeling that his younger brother was really hopeless, and said lightly: "The imperial brother told you last time, do you like to listen to it, and besides, why are the concubines in your house still accepting it?" ”

Chu Tianxiao said a little impatiently: "Big brother, you don't care about this matter, last time you said don't make trouble, the younger brother has already reined in, and now it's just a few concubines." ”

The crown prince hated that iron could not become steel and said: "In short, don't let your father know." ”

Chu Tianxiao sneered and said, "My father is busy with the front and harem, where can I take care of my ministers' affairs?" Big brother, don't worry. ”

The prince knew that it would be useless for him to say more, and he said no more.
