In the hands of the government, the profits of the imperial court cannot be maximized at all, because there are too many moths in it.

"The third prince filled in the silver himself, 280,000 taels, and the third prince was willing to give up."

He Jisheng took his eyes off Gu Chengyu, shook his head and sighed.

As soon as the 280,000 taels of silver came out, of course, it would arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Now that the emperor is anxious about the silver, the tea introduction has just been formulated and is ready to be implemented, where does the court get the silver?

The three princes took out so much at once, what did the emperor think in his heart?

He Jisheng felt that the third prince had really taken a streak move, even if he had confessed to the emperor earlier? It wouldn't have gotten that way.

How could he be reluctant? Didn't you hear before that you got a lot of benefits from inserting a foot in the salt lead? ”

Wu An also interjected, it is not a big secret that the third prince has won a fortune on the salt lead.

The emperor should also know it, but he just wants to compensate the three princes for the unwarranted disaster they suffered because of the fraud in the imperial examination.

It's a pity that the third prince is too greedy, and the emperor didn't expect him to be so bold, so the salt must be more than 280,000 taels of silver, right?

If it weren't for Huo Huaizhong standing up today, he would have changed the topic before. The emperor is furious, and he must get to the bottom of it.

"Speaking of which, Lord Huo is benevolent and righteous to the three princes, and he can stand up at this time, but he is also worthy of the three princes. It's a pity that the three princes ......"

Yin Kun also sighed when he talked about this, he was a little unworthy of Huo Huaizhong.

At the beginning, he also saw that the biological mother of the third prince, Concubine Xian, was favored, and wanted to ask his brother-in-law to match him and join the three princes.

Fortunately, my mother tried her best to stop it after she found out, and at that time my mother said that the third prince was ruthless, and he still thought very highly of himself and was useless.

He was also alarmist as a mother, and before he saw that among these princes, the eldest prince and the third prince were more capable. However, his mother has always been far-sighted, and has given him many guidance, and he has been able to avoid trouble every time.

So he decided to wait and see first, anyway, after waiting for so many years, he was not in a hurry.

Fortunately, he didn't rush to surrender to Cheng at the beginning, who would have thought that the third prince would become more and more eager to do things in the past two years, and he would always be caught by other princes?

First, there was the case of Wan Xuenian's house being raided, and then there was the failure of the Ordnance Bureau, and now there are absolutely few ministers in the court who are optimistic about the three princes.

Except for those who are related by marriage, and those who started to surrender first, it is estimated that there are no talented people under the command of the three princes.

"Teacher, which prince do you think has a better chance?"

He Jisheng turned his gaze to Liang Zhirui, he was a little curious about who the most suitable candidate for the prince in the teacher's heart was.

The eyes of the other two also turned to Liang Zhirui, and Gu Chengyu was also very curious. It's just that He Jisheng is here today, and he thinks that the teacher should have some reservations when he speaks.

Who would have thought that Liang Zhirui didn't hide it this time, "The old man thinks that the ability between the eldest prince and the second prince is equal, and the eldest prince is indeed very talented and very decisive." But the second prince is the son of the middle palace, and he has a pure character, maybe he has a better chance than the eldest prince! ”

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, he didn't expect the teacher to say what he really thought in his heart so easily.

That's right, too! Although He Jisheng is a little discordant with the teacher, the two are teachers and students after all. The teacher may be afraid that He Jisheng will take a detour, so he said his true thoughts so that he can give everyone a reference.

After Liang Zhirui finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of the four disciples below.

Yin Kun frowned and pondered, and Wu An was a little surprised. Gu Chengyu's expression was indifferent, as if he was not surprised by his opinion.

However, He Jisheng's expression was intriguing, I saw that he was surprised at first, then his eyebrows were furrowed, and finally the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

But it was only for a moment, and it immediately returned to normal.

Liang Zhirui's heart sank when he saw it, what did he mean by disdain?

He knows a little about this disciple, although the two are not similar in temperament, but they have lived together for many years, so it seems that He Jisheng should be in line.

And the object of standing in line should be the eldest prince, He Jisheng is shrewd, and the third prince will definitely not look down on him, so King Jing naturally doesn't have to think about it, then only the eldest prince will be left.

After all, he just said that the second prince has a better chance, and He Jisheng's attitude is enough to prove that he is not optimistic about the second prince.

Liang Zhirui sighed slightly, it would be better if the eldest prince became the crown prince in the end, and He Jisheng did not choose the wrong one. But what if the emperor chooses the second prince in the end?

"What does the teacher mean is that the second prince has a better chance? But the second prince is still inferior to the eldest prince in terms of talent. ”

Wu An was surprised by the teacher's optimistic candidate, the second prince is indeed generous, and if he is lucky enough to become a king, he can also be regarded as a benevolent monarch.

But the temperament of the second prince has softened, and now Daxing is eyeing him, if the second prince becomes the monarch, can he still suppress Daxing?

After so many years, the emperor's tolerance and importance to the eldest prince have always been seen by them, and he still feels that the eldest prince has more opportunities.

"Yes! The second senior brother is right. Teacher, you don't know that the emperor attaches great importance to the eldest prince, and the students still feel that the eldest prince has more opportunities. What's more, the first emperor said when he was there, only the virtuous are not established. ”

He Jisheng put the tea bowl on the table and expressed his opinion.

Liang Zhirui's face suddenly sank, "Although there are no outsiders here, you should be cautious when you speak, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

It is not surprising that He Jisheng has such thoughts, in fact, when the former emperor was alive, he was not optimistic about the current one, and he also said this.

At that time, the first emperor had five sons, and the current emperor was born in the main palace and should be named the crown prince.

However, the first emperor was very fond of Xiao Guifei, the mother of the fourth son of the king, Xiao Guifei was beautiful and moon-like, and when she was in the boudoir, she was famous for her beauty in the capital.

He also loved King Xiang from Concubine Xiao Guifei, and wanted to crown King Xiang as the crown prince, but he was stopped by the ministers, which made the emperor who was his son-in-law often sad.

It's just that at that time, today's foreign family was powerful, and he had no choice but to choose Emperor Huiming as the crown prince.

The current emperor is talented, and even the former emperor has to admit it. The first emperor saw that Emperor Huiming was indeed suitable to be a king, and he also taught carefully in the future.

However, it was indeed not easy for Emperor Huiming to ascend the throne. Those princes are not fuel-efficient lamps, and he has really suffered a lot.

It is said that Emperor Huiming suffered so much back then, so he should have made his son-in-law the crown prince as soon as possible.

But the emperor actually learned the style of the previous emperor back then, and he was even more stubborn than the previous emperor, and he refused to establish a prince, which makes people unable to see through.

"If it's about virtue, I'm afraid that the eldest prince can't compare to the second prince, right?"

Yin Kun interjected, causing He Jisheng to look at him.
