As Liu Qianzhong expected, at the critical moment when the prince was swaying from side to side, the Taiping King, who had never spoken, spoke.

It's just that the Taiping King, who has always been brilliant, said all the miserable and miserable vernacular this time.

"Brother Wang, everyone in the world says that our royal mansion Jinshan Yinhai, Fubi Dragon Palace, who knows that in fact, the Tianjia family also can't afford to eat? Don't talk about it far away, let's talk about the little brother himself. At the beginning of the younger brother's entitlement, the grandfather and the father each rewarded the younger brother with 10,000 acres of farmland, and the younger brother also had 3,000 Shijun Wang Lu rice, which added up to a lot, but the younger brother had a lot of people to eat. There were seventeen adults, nine children, and more than 300 eunuchs and palace maids. There are 400 mouths, big and small! How much silver do these 400 mouths have to eat and clothe in a year?

Brother Wang knew that last year's drought had reduced the harvest in the fields a lot; and there are many fewer thieves; After the civil unrest, there were no rice grains left in the warehouse! Now that the farmer has run away, it has not been collected yet, and this year's harvest must be worse than last year's! Originally, the younger brother wanted to have a few more children and receive a few more stones, but the government only gave the younger brother a total of 500 stones last year! The younger brother personally came to urge him, and the government directly said that the military salary was insufficient. The little brother begged for no result, so he could only cry secretly!

Brother Wang knows that the younger brother's daughter-in-law is not like the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, who can neither give birth to children nor silver. The younger brother wanted to divorce her according to the example of "seven outs", but he couldn't hear her crying, let alone hang her, so he had to let her stay......

To tell the truth, the younger brother had no choice but to say: This year's New Year's Day sacrifice to the ancestors, the younger brother had to order his subordinates to send the jade paperweight that his grandfather rewarded that year to the pawnshop, and then he barely made up the sacrifice! ”

When King Taiping said that he was emotional, he wiped the corner of his eyes with his sleeve. The prince and the king of Taiping have been friends since childhood, and when they grow up, they have similar interests in poetry and writing, and they are very uncomfortable when they hear the fourth brother say so miserably. It's just that the prince is a little strange, is it possible that the fourth brother is crying poor today, does it have anything to do with what is being discussed?

Of course it is! King Taiping thought to himself. There is no scene to set off, there is no atmosphere rendering, what I say is equivalent to farting, will you give me a piece of silver?

"The younger brother, as the king of the county, is still so embarrassed, those generals and lieutenants of the distant branches can be imagined! No wonder there are people besieging the government. They haven't received Lu rice for more than ten years, and they are already on the verge of death! The younger brother thought to himself, since the government doesn't care about us, we don't have to look at their faces everywhere to do things! The prince set up a card to collect taxes in Yazhou, and the younger brother is very optimistic! It's even better to practice that caravan! There are no soldiers in troubled times, and the king of a feudal domain will also be bullied! ”

"The meaning of the fourth brother is ......"

"The younger brother means that the soldiers of the son of the world must be trained and collected. If you don't practice alone, something will happen sooner or later. The tax collection can be set up by the official government, and our feudal government can also be set up. Not only to set up, but also to set more. The land rent must not be reduced, otherwise the gentry and the villagers will all come to the king village to scoop rice, can we wait for it? If the sergeants of the six guards of Chengdu also come, the palace will be in big trouble! The government owes Zonglu to the Shu Domain, and the government must reissue it, otherwise we will make trouble with the imperial court!

The younger brother also has a suggestion, can you use the collected tax money to set up a righteous warehouse, so as to help those embarrassed clans? When the eldest brother wants to be promoted, our own family members will come out and wave their flags and shout! ”

Good! As soon as the King of Taiping finished speaking, Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, slapped the handrail heavily.

Liu Qianzhong was even more excited. If you want to set up a card to collect cash, how can you do without my soldiers? Can't I cut off this money when I pass it? As long as there is silver, who cannot buy it? Wait for the opportunity to find a mistake between the princess and the prince, and then use the silver to ask a few officials to impeach, maybe the flowers and rivers in this Shu land will also be the turn of my Liu family!

The relationship between the Taiping King is even more ruthless, the princess's silver and soldiers want to be collected, and he also wants to get a piece of the pie. Wait, it's no wonder that there won't be a mess!

"What a bunch of stupid pigs! Lao Tzu has been really blind in the past 20 years! Wang Kunshan scolded angrily in his heart.

"I'm sorry, lord! I will repay your son for your great kindness. Father and son report, I, Wang Kunshan, am not a villain who is unkind! ”

When he walked out of the Yinyue Pavilion, Wang Kunshan's footsteps were particularly tough.

The night was dark, and there was not a single starlight in the sky. The streets were so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, and only the lanterns on the walls of the palace provided directions for pedestrians on the road.

The third watch has passed, and Zhu Pingjin has not slept yet. The darkness of the Xinuan Pavilion of the Prince of the World Mansion was like a fog that could not be dispersed and could not be seen, enveloping him tightly.

Zhu Pingjin was waiting for He Youyi and Cheng Xiangfeng to arrive. I don't know how long it took, but finally the sound of the door opening was heard outside the hall. Rustling footsteps approached the main hall. There was a sound of cheering at the door of the main hall, it was Wei Chen and He Chengjun on night duty interrogating.

The footsteps entered the main hall, and Li Sixian played a report outside the Xinuan Pavilion. When he heard the prince call in, he went into the temple and lit candles. Probably he sensed the tense air in the prince's mansion, and actually put on the cuirass worn in the battle of Eguchi, and inserted the short knife that had killed people.

"Call them all in!" Zhu Pingjin rubbed his eyes and commanded.

In addition to He Youyi and Cheng Xiangfeng, there was also a middle-aged man. He was tall and thin, with a sparse goatee, and when he saw Zhu Pingjian, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, calling the guilty minister Wang Kunshan.

Zhu Pingjin left his seat, personally helped Wang Kunshan up, and invited the three of them to sit down, then said to Cheng Xiangfeng with a smile: "Mr. Wang is the same year as Mr. Cheng, right?" ”

Cheng Xiangfeng replied with a smile, Wang Kunshan and him are both people in the same township. Tonight, Mr. Wang rushed over with great involvement and the stigma of disloyalty and injustice, just to report an important news to the son!

It has been more than two months since He Youyi and Cheng Xiangfeng plotted against Wang Kunshan, and the entry point is the relationship between Cheng Xiangfeng and Wang Kunshan in the same year. In order to ensure Wang Kunshan's smooth entry into the hub, He Youyi and Liu Mingsheng even drew up a plan of action to kidnap Wang Kunshan's parents, wife and children. Yesterday, Chen En informed Wang Kunshan to participate in the deliberations, and Wang Kunshan informed Liu Mingsheng in time. Now that the deliberations have come to a conclusion, Wang Kunshan has personally rushed to report the report, which shows that he has clearly chosen a side.

Listening to Wang Kunshan's detailed explanation of the proceedings, Zhu Pingjin had a bottom in his heart.

"Mr. Wang doesn't need to be in a hurry. The sky of this Shu Wangfu can't fall yet. Zhu Pingjin smiled and said to Wang Kunshan, "Liu Quanzhong and Chen En, these two people, deceived the king, this is disloyalty; It is unrighteousness to divide and kiss; It is unkind to disregard the people; It is illegal to flout the government! There are four crimes of disloyalty, injustice, injustice, and lawlessness, and the clan should punish them! In order to get rid of the two traitors, Mr. Wang did not hesitate to damage his reputation and grievances, it is because of his hard work and high achievements, what is the crime? ”

The prince forgave Wang Kunshan's sins and set the tone for his future use, which made him grateful. It's just that the son of the world is about to kill someone when he smiles, which makes him even more frightened.

"The two traitors deceived their father and uncle, and with the incompetence of these two traitors, there will be big traitors who are plotting behind the scenes. Mr. Wang might as well give it a try. Zhu Pingjin added softly with a faint smile on his face.

The person who learned about the spirit of the Yinyue Pavilion meeting in time, in addition to Zhu Pingjin, there was another family, but it was Zhu Zhishen, the third brother of Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu.

Fushun King Zhu Zhishen and Zhu Zhishu have a parent, after the second child died, he became Zhu Zhishu's eldest brother. If he doesn't want to go further, it's false, it's just that the prince inherits, and the court has strict standards. As long as one of the eldest brother Zhu Zhishu and his son is still alive, the position of the king of Shu will be out of reach of him!

IN A SIDE HALL IN THE DEPTHS OF THE FUSHUN ROYAL PALACE, ZHU PINGJIAN, THE YOUNGEST SON OF THE YOUNGER PRINCE ZHU PINGJIN (HALF A MONTH), THE ELDEST SON OF THE KING OF FUSHUN (CHENG) (NOTE 1), LOOKED EXCITED.

"Father, my son thinks that the Shu Wangfu will definitely make trouble, and the bigger the trouble, the better!"

"How so?" Zhu Zhishen remained silent.

Mr. Liu said that the prince used the tea and horse tax money to raise soldiers, and the soldiers to collect tax silver; Rent reduction to collect people's hearts, and people's hearts to get farmland. This is an interlocking chain, and if there is one less link, the chain will break. Seeing his father's expression, Zhu Pingyu calmed down.

"The prince wants to accept the soldiers of the prince and put them into his left guard, is the soldier owned by the prince or by Liu Fatzi? If the son of the world has no soldiers, he will lose one of the most important links in this chain. Without soldiers, the son of the world will have no money; If there is no silver, there will be no rent reduction; Without rent reduction, there will be no people's hearts; If there is no people's heart, there will be no Zhuangtian! In this way, all the things that the prince has worked hard for half a year will be in vain, can he give up? Even if the prince submits to his father, can the princess's fiery temper agree? ”

"Zhu Pingjian's son has silver, soldiers and horses, people's hearts, and Zhuangtian, so isn't that equivalent to Zhu Zhishu, the old man? Why can't Zhu Zhishu see through this, but wants to make an ending that never ends? ”

"One word, greed!" Seeing that his father was not at ease, Zhu Pingwei told Chen En, an eyewitness at the scene, his feelings and thoughts.

"Chen Gong is fair, the fatal thing about the prince is: insatiable! Gonggong Chen has followed the prince all his life and knows this best. That's a man who wants money and doesn't want to die! This time, Liu Fatzi easily gave the prince a chance, so why didn't the prince seize it desperately? ”

"Chen En knows people too! If you want money, you don't want to die, it's really a three! Zhu Zhishen nodded in praise.

"Mr. Liu's plan is that we will do everything as usual, do what we need to do, and never get involved in the dispute between their husband and wife. Otherwise, with the identity of the father, it is easy for the court to suspect the father. ”

"Then why are we waiting?" Zhu Zhishen looked at his son and asked.

"It's just business as usual!" Zhu Pingyu looked confident.

Mr. Liu said, this is called sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. When two tigers fight, one will be injured. Who is the Qiu family? With millions of silver in his pocket, what kind of dead man can't buy it? forced her to be anxious, and directly sent the dead man to kill the uncle, it was easy! Who is the son? There are thousands of elite soldiers under him, and he is kind to Lord Futai and Tusi. Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that the hundreds of Tusi soldiers at the north gate were all brought back from Tianquan by the prince. Uncle wants to take away his soldiers, I'm afraid Chengdu Mansion will immediately make trouble! What does Uncle have in his hands? Except for the title of the king of Shu and the rotten soldiers of the left guard, he couldn't even take out 30,000 taels of silver! Even Chen En told his son that the uncle made a stupid move! ”

At this time, Zhu Zhishen criticized his son: "Don't just know how to fight and kill all day long!" Qiu only needs a packet of medicinal powder, which can make Zhu Zhishu ascend to the Western Heavens, and then her good son will naturally ascend the throne! What's in it for us not to be over? As long as Zhu Zhishu's three cubs are not dead, the throne of the King of Shu is still from the Changfang family! ”

"Father, rest assured, my son and Mr. Liu have planned it!" Zhu Pingyu smiled and said: "As long as the prince and the prince kill each other, the other two dogs will also be finished!" Zhu Pingjiao's body bones, the good doctor said that he would not live this year. As for the scumbag born to that prostitute, Mr. Liu said, "I want to start with Concubine Liu's ......"

The father and son exchanged heads for a moment, and after a while, there was a surprised laugh from Zhu Zhishen, the king of Fushun, in the side hall.

The father and son finally stopped laughing, Zhu Zhishen regained the majestic appearance of the county king and his father, and said after a moment's silence:

"Now that the situation is unknown, we have to go and see more! When Chen En sends Zhu Zhishu's will, he will go into the mansion with your mother. Your mother went to Qiu's place to sit and set up a dragon gate array; As for you, go and see the prince first, and then go and see the Wang family's scumbag to see when he will die. As for your father, you have to go to Qingyang Palace in person, invite back the elixir that the Taoist chief has refined for me, and then send it to the palace. Didn't Mr. Liu say it's business as usual? I sent it in previous years, but I didn't send it this year, and it was abnormal. ”

Note 1: Zhu Pingwei is actually the second son of King Fushun. The plot needs to be changed here.
