Chapter 744 The Prince's Question
Chapter 744
Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanchang were very annoying, because they arrived in the capital first, and the news they knew was not good, and now they don't know if the news is true, if it is true, then it will be very troublesome for their prince.
If there is nothing to take back the fief, the fief is just a good name, but it is actually a loss of money, the key is the prince, the prince will divide a lot of money in the court every year, and the food and good land brought by the prince are a lot, and they don't want to be taken back from the prince.
"You still find a way to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a good relationship with you at the beginning. Let's see if I can get some news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Li Yuanjing sat there and said to them.
"Well, I'll go over again in the evening, I should always be in the East Palace at night, right?" Li Yuanchang also nodded and said.
"Lord Wang, King Wu asks to see!" At this time, the steward of Li Yuanchang's mansion came over and said.
"Oh, King Wu is here, please!" When Li Yuanchang heard this, he immediately looked at Li Yuanjing, and then said to the steward,
Soon, King Wu came in, and Li Yuanchang received King Wu in the study.
"Yo, the sixth uncle is also here, and there is a tea set, it seems that you also know the life in the capital very well." Li Ke looked at them with a smile and asked.
"That is, I just understood, I bought tea sets and tea leaves at the Royal Supermarket, but this tea is not cheap!" Li Yuanchang said to King Wu with a smile.
"The tea thing, hehe, this is done by Henghu Guogong and his father, and no one knows how much profit there is!" King Wu said with a smile, the tea in the Royal Supermarket was made by Li Shimin and Qin Huaidao, and no one knew how much profit it made in a year, anyway, the tea in it was very expensive.
"Your Majesty still does such a thing with Hu Guogong, isn't it?" When Li Yuanjing heard this, he frowned and said to King Wu.
"Haha, what's wrong, don't say much, that's it, a year can bring at least 100,000 yuan of profit to the royal family, I don't know how much, otherwise, in the past two years, we princes have so much money, how did it come about, last year's prince's money exceeded 1,000 yuan, a lot." King Wu looked at them with a smile and spoke.
"That's true, but if it's such a high profit, why do you want to cooperate with Hu Guogong, can't the royal family do it alone?" Li Yuanchang also asked King Wu with a smile.
"No, this is only the Hu Guogong, this way of drinking tea is all made by Hu Guogong, including these tea sets, which are also made by Hu Guogong, if you don't cooperate with Hu Guogong, who will you cooperate with?
Not to mention that Hu Guogong makes a lot of money, but there are restaurants, dim sum workshops, flower water workshops, cloth houses, and in the paper mill, printing factory, brewing workshop, and royal supermarket all have shares.
By the way, the mirror workshop and the glass workshop also have shares, and they don't know how much they have a year's income in their house, and we princes may not have as much as the property of Hu Guogong's family combined. King Wu smiled at them and said,
When the two of them heard this, they looked at each other.
"Oh, there is one that I almost forgot, the cargo station is also Hu Guogong's, I heard that the profit in a month is tens of thousands of yuan, think about it, how rich is Hu Guogong's family?" King Wu continued to smile and say to them, and they were very shocked in their hearts, they knew that Qin Huaidao was very trusted in front of Li Shimin, but they didn't expect that they could make money so much.
"I don't know if King Wu is coming, but what's the matter?" Li Yuanchang looked at King Wu and asked.
"There is something, two uncles, you are in trouble, this time I heard that you are going to cut off your prince, this matter is still confidential, uncles have to find a way." King Wu said to them with a smile.
"Impossible, right?" Li Yuanchang immediately looked at him with a smile and asked, his heart was like a stormy wave, King Wu said so, then it is very likely to be true.
"Believe it or not, otherwise the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty now have very big opinions on Hu Guogong, and I am also a prince, and I am also worried that my prince will be cut off, so it will be troublesome." King Wu sat there and said with a wry smile.
"You don't have to worry, how can one of His Majesty's favorite children be cut off?" Li Yuanjing immediately said with a smile.
"How is it possible, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, if my titles are cut off, then you have been cut off, who dares to have an opinion, but this matter, we can't sit still, we still need to stop this matter,
And to stop this matter, but we need everyone's cooperation, I don't know if anyone has come to you, those civil officials are now writing impeachment materials, Hu Guogong has been locked up for a while, and there has been no movement, those ministers hope that His Majesty can punish Hu Guogong. King Wu sat there, looked at them with a smile and said.
"This, the affairs of the court, we can't control it, right?" Li Yuanjing glanced at Li Yuanchang, then stared at King Wu and asked.
"I can't control it, but you can also go to the book, otherwise, when Qin Huaidao comes out, we will be in trouble." King Wu stared at Li Yuanjing with a smile and said.
"Hey, now the news in the capital, we are not sure about any news at all, we don't know if what you said is true." Li Yuanjing sighed and looked at King Wu and said.
"Uncle doesn't believe me, don't you still believe those ministers, tomorrow you can see how many ministers will be impeached." King Wu said confidently to them. The two of them were thinking about whether it was true or not, and they were also very cautious now and didn't want to be taken advantage of.
"I'm here to tell you, as long as you do what you do, it's your own business, I believe that the other princes are also thinking about it now, you still have to wait, wait for those ministers to read the book." Li Ke looked at them with a smile and said.
"It's good to wait, after all, we have just come to the capital, and there are still many places we don't know, so we need to wait." Li Yuanjing immediately nodded and said, they really need to wait.
"Okay, I don't have anything else to do here, so I won't bother you, I have to go back to do errands, hey, this time it's very troublesome, you also need to be prepared." King Wu stood up as he spoke, and prepared to go back.
Li Yuanchang personally sent him to the gate of the mansion, and after King Wu left, Li Yuanchang and Li Yuanjing's brows were tightly furrowed, if those rumors were true, then they would be really in trouble, they didn't want to be cut off.
In the evening, Li Yuanchang went to the East Palace, but the guards of the East Palace told Li Yuanchang that His Royal Highness the Prince had just been summoned by His Majesty and went to the Chengtian Palace.
And on the side of Chengtian Palace, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Liu Xun, Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, Li Chengqian, Qin Huaidao, and Sun Fujia are all sitting here, and now except for Qin Huaidao and Sun Fujia, the others are watching with the law!
"Well, good, good, this national law is good, and this national law can ensure that I am royal and can be recognized by the people of the world." Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, and Li Chengqian were looking at the national law, and Li Xiaogong nodded in agreement while watching, and of course Li Chengqian and Li Jing also agreed.
"It's just that the prince gave a little bit less, right? There can only be two princes and two county kings in a generation? Li Chengqian sat there and said a little worriedly.
"What then? Now we have more than 30 princes in the Tang Dynasty, which adds a lot of burden to the court every year, I want to reduce some, but who is the reduction? There are also quite a few county kings! Li Shimin sat there and spoke.
"Why don't you do that? Father, the son is selfish, the son will definitely have a lot of children, you say, just two princes, one prince, two county kings, it's really too little, the prince is still according to the original plan, each generation of the emperor, each generation of emperors, up to four princes, four county kings, the rest of the dukes and marquis? Otherwise, it will not be good for future generations to be prosperous. Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin,
He must care about this issue, according to the national law written by Qin Huaidao, this time the prince is fixed, and he will not be demoted, which is very beneficial to those princes.
Of course, it is also to compensate for the recovery of their fiefdoms, but according to Li Chengqian, it is not impossible to demote the knighthood, of course, this depends on Li Shimin's attitude.
"Well, let's finish reading it first, after reading the unified discussion, tonight, I will go back later, if there is a curfew, you will stay in the palace, there are many rooms here, and we will continue to discuss tomorrow." Li Shimin said to them, he was now reading the civil law.
"Yes!" When Li Chengqian heard this, he could only nod his head and continue to read, and this time, it was very late to finish reading those laws.
"How long has it been?" Li Shimin turned his head to look at Wang En next to him.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's almost time." Wang En immediately arched his hand and said.
"Then let's talk about it for a while, and then go to bed, and at night, you go back with the law you're interested in, and look at it again, and tomorrow morning, continue the discussion." Li Shimin said to them, and they also nodded.
"Gao Ming said just now that the prince still wants to be demoted, and the duke is not demoted, so in the future, the children of the royal family, wouldn't they rather be crowned princes than princes?" Li Shimin sat there and said, according to the previous statement, the prince of the country is not demoted, of course, the county prince and the county duke must be demoted.
"yes, that's not a good question." Qin Huaidao nodded when he heard it and said.
"I don't think this will work, for this group of princes, they are divided into second-class, first-class princes are not demoted, second-class princes are demoted, and they are not demoted to the national duke, and the national princes are listed separately, and an heir is added, and the heir is followed by the county duke, okay?" Li Chengqian sat there, saying his opinion,
Qin Huaidao and they heard it, and they all looked at Li Shimin, the matter of the prince, they didn't count.
