The third prince looked at his father, who had a sullen face, and swallowed his saliva, I am afraid that he will suffer today.

"This?" Tong Shunmin glanced at the third prince, and his spitting appearance made the emperor even more angry.

"Is it your greedy silver?" When the emperor saw that he refused to speak, the flame in his heart skyrocketed.

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged! How dare Wechen? This is filled in by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, where does Weichen have silver? ”

Tong Shunmin saw that the emperor had accused him of greedy ink, and at this time he was already full of heart and gall, how could he dare to hide it for the third prince?

Xia Qing glanced at the third prince, snorted coldly, and at the same time secretly said in his heart that this son must not be on the stage.

It seems that it was right to refuse the invitation of the third prince at the beginning, and this son will definitely not have the last laugh.

It turned out to be the third?

The emperor was furious and scolded loudly: "Third child, where did you get the 280,000 taels of silver?" ”

How could the emperor not be angry? His private treasury was still added 200,000 taels of silver by the boss last time, and he could barely supply himself and the real person for alchemy during this time.

But the third child can casually take out 280,000 taels of silver, so the third child's private treasury is much richer than his own.

Where did the third child's money come from, he could imagine that it was nothing more than the greed for ink and the filial piety of the people under him.

This is not even a prince! These people gave him the silver and filial piety, where did they put him, the emperor?

The third prince was so frightened by the loud shout that he almost lost his soul, and he hurriedly came out of the queue and fell to his knees.

"Father! This matter is related to the poor supervision of Erchen, who knows that the military needs at the border are urgent, so he can only fill in it himself. These 280,000 taels were borrowed by the sons, and they could only be returned when the weapons were returned to the furnace and rebuilt by the sons. ”

He had already understood that he was being calculated, but he had come up with a plan for himself.

The villain, boasting in front of him how advantageous the weapon was to resist the soldiers of Daxing, he also looked at the drawings and felt that it was very reasonable.

He wanted to do this errand well, show his face in front of the ministers, and get some praise from his father.

Who would have thought that this time he would really lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, and when he got through the next difficulty, he would definitely crush those villains.

The three princes secretly hated in their hearts, but they were helpless. He looked at the eldest prince and the second prince, his gaze wandering between the two.

As for the fourth child, he naturally won't pay attention to it. It's definitely not the eldest brother, it's the second brother, only these two people have this strength.

Although my father may not believe these words, such a high-sounding reason can be regarded as able to block the mouths of Youyou.

What is private suspicion and discussion? It's good to get by on the bright side.

The father and emperor will not punish him too much for the sake of his mother's face. It's a pity that this incident will definitely make my father dissatisfied, and the position of the crown prince is really hanging.

He still has to think of a way to please his father again, otherwise his previous efforts will be in vain.

"Borrowed? Who did you borrow it from? Which minister has so much money in his house? The emperor squinted at the officials in the palace and looked at everyone's hearts.

Who would dare to say that there is so much money at home? Even the family doesn't dare to say it!

The imperial court forbade officials to engage in business, and their family business was through the hands of their wives, which was called the management of dowries, but in fact, the money earned was secretly transferred to their own hands.

The emperor naturally turned a blind eye, otherwise it would be a problem to even provide food and drink for the family with that little money, how could he live such a luxurious life?

But no one dares to bring this matter to the surface! Who dares to say? Isn't this death?

The needles in the hall could be heard, no one dared to pick up the stubble, and all the officials were eager to bury their heads in the crooks of their arms, and they did not dare to look at the emperor at all.

"You say! Whose money did you borrow? You point it out to me. ”

The emperor pointed to the three princes, compared to the heavy drinking just now, the voice at this time was the same as before.

But the third prince heard the anger implied in this sentence, could it be that the father really planned to pursue the matter?

The third prince is really panicked, who can he refer to? He has not borrowed any money, and if he points indiscriminately, will he not arouse the wrath of the people?

If it is said that it is a money village, it will be even worse, and he will be disgraced and thrown into the Shangjia's house, and his father is afraid that he will not let him go.

Isn't it ridiculous that the imperial court even borrowed money from merchants?

At this time, the third prince was in a dilemma, he was in a cold sweat, and he only thought about who would save him.

Whoever wanted to make the next voice pushed him into the abyss.

The eldest prince gently crushed three times under his feet, and this action was seen by Bian Shengrong.

"Your Majesty, Weichen heard that His Royal Highness the Third Prince made a lot of money in the matter of salt introduction, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Third Prince can explain this matter clearly?"

Bian Shengrong got the hint of the eldest prince and hurriedly broke the matter.

The salt tax was the most important tax of the dynasty, and the emperor would never allow anyone to touch it.

Even though the three princes were greedy for silver, they did a clean job in sweeping the tail.

But everyone knows this, although there is no evidence to prove it.

But at this time, the third prince was at a disadvantage, and the emperor was already dissatisfied with him, and he also had doubts about the origin of the silver in his heart.

At this time, even if there is no evidence, it is enough for the third prince to eat a pot.

The emperor's suspicion was already heavy, and the third prince naturally couldn't eat and walk around today.

The third prince was in a hurry, "Lord Bian, don't talk about it, when has this palace been involved in salt?" What is Lord Bian's intention to frame this palace? If you don't say anything about being ugly today, this palace will never stop! ”

The third prince's color and stubble were seen by the emperor, and he naturally knew what kind of character the third prince was.

Isn't this a sign of a weak heart? Could it be that the third child really made a lot of money in the matter of salt introduction?

The emperor looked at the three princes who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, with a look of disappointment in his eyes, but also a sense of relief.

It's okay, the third child is useless, and he doesn't have to include the third child in the selection of the prince.

When the crown prince is crowned, let these sons go to the fiefdom! Out of sight, out of mind!

In fact, how can Bian Shengrong have any evidence in his hands? If he is allowed to take it, he will definitely not be able to take it.

"Your Royal Highness, don't quibble, you know whether you are involved in this matter or not. The old man also doesn't want His Highness to lose face, if he carefully checks it, he is afraid that he will not be able to find evidence? ”

The emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was about to ask the Ministry of Industry to bring the drawings, but who would have thought that another official would come out of the ranks.

"The emperor is gracious, and Weichen also has something to say."

Huo Huaizhong saw that the third prince was suppressed and couldn't get his head out, so he was naturally anxious.

"Your Majesty! In the case of the previous murder case, His Royal Highness disregarded human life, acted perfunctory, and treated human life as child's play, resulting in the unjust death of innocent people in prison. Weichen thought that it was difficult for the eldest prince to be the prince. ”

"Lord Huo! That incident was indeed a dereliction of responsibility in the palace, and someone had recently been sent to Hejian Mansion to collect evidence, and Lord Huo was holding on to this matter, what did he want? ”

The eldest prince sneered, this Huo Huaizhong was also helpless.

I can only talk about this again, it's really ridiculous, is this little thing worth the mistake made by the third child?
