Chapter 784: Crusade

Bian Shengrong feels that this is a good time to bring down the third prince, take advantage of your illness and kill you!

The emperor made it clear that he would not be good at this matter, and murdering the prince was a serious crime, so why not let the three princes' crimes come more and more violently?

If the three princes can be eliminated this time, then the eldest prince will have one less opponent in the future.

"What Lord Bian said is very true, 280,000 taels of silver is not a few. The salt tax was the largest tax in the dynasty, and no one was allowed to touch it. What's more, the treasury is still not abundant, where is so much tax revenue used every year, and why are the border soldiers lacking food and clothing every year, and they can't receive salaries? ”

Deng Chenghong, the imperial historian of the left capital, was listed, and he felt that those who were involved in taxes were moths of the imperial court, and he especially hated such officials.

Every year, taxes are collected from the bottom, and they are exploited layer by layer, the people are miserable, and the treasury is still not abundant, so it is time to rectify the government and the opposition.

The third prince just received filial piety every year, and he could casually take out 280,000 taels of silver.

Can you imagine how much benefit the group of officials at the bottom have gained?

Every time it is mentioned that the treasury is not abundant, the government and the opposition can only propose to reduce expenditure.

Later, after Gu Chengyu of the Hanlin Academy proposed the tea tax and salt introduction, the situation was better.

But no official has ever dug deep into the root cause of the inabundance of the treasury, and everyone has covered it and not said it, isn't it because the prince has not been established before?

Everyone is afraid of offending which prince, and when that prince is made the crown prince in the future, won't he be able to eat and walk around?

Now that the crown prince has been established, and the prince is kind-hearted and always thinks about the people, it is time to bring up these topics that he usually did not dare to mention.

Gu Chengyu stood behind and lowered his head and sneered, these people were too anxious.

The emperor is indeed very angry now, and handed over the matter to Dali Temple to investigate, and naturally has the intention of punishing the three princes.

In the end, it is not impossible to imprison the three princes in the Zongren Mansion, or even expel them from the royal clan, and be demoted to a concubine.

But this is the appearance that can be seen now, the emperor is in anger at this time, of course he will not give the third prince good fruit to eat.

But after the anger in the emperor's heart calmed down a little, seeing that these officials couldn't wait to fall into the ground, could the emperor tolerate it?

If these officials are relied upon, the three princes are punished heavily, or the three princes are killed, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not regret it when he thinks about it in the future.

Then this account will be counted on these officials who fell into the well at that time, and no one can please anyone.

No matter how bad the third prince is, it is also the prince, the flesh and blood of the emperor.

They are courtiers, but they want to trample the prince in the mud, which is contempt for the imperial power, and the emperor will inevitably be unhappy.

Originally, if the matter of poisoning and murdering the prince was confirmed, the emperor would not spare it in order to give an explanation to the prince and the world.

But at this time, it would be redundant to add other charges to the third prince and lose the face of the royal family.

And it will make the emperor even more suspicious, thinking that the prince wants to get rid of the princes as soon as possible, and he will take the opportunity to fall into the well.

"What Bian Aiqing and Deng Aiqing mean is that these are all because the three princes have received benefits, which has led to a shortage of silver in our Dayan Dynasty?"

The emperor squinted slightly, and his face was a little darker than before.

Although the third brother attacked his eldest brother, he should be punished. But after all, it was his own son, did these people mean to force him?

Forced him to expel the third child from the clan, or even kill him to prevent future troubles?

"The emperor is angry, and Weichen doesn't mean that. What Wei Chen said just now did not refer only to the three princes, but to the moths of the vast majority of the imperial court. Whether the three princes accepted bribes, Weichen did not personally investigate, so it is naturally difficult to draw conclusions, so these are not subject to any need for the time being. But Weichen thinks that there are a lot of officials who are greedy for ink in this court, and he asks the emperor to investigate thoroughly! ”

Although Deng Chenghong is an official in the line of the second prince, he is sincerely for the sake of the court and the people.

Although the people's taxes are not heavy, it is because the imperial court can still balance its payments because of the tea tax.

When the treasury is unable to make ends meet, the imperial court will naturally increase taxes.

"Your Majesty! Weichen is the same as Lord Deng, and what he said is definitely not aimed at the three princes, but because rumors were rampant some time ago. If the three princes didn't do this, then ask the emperor to return the three princes to their innocence. ”

Bian Shengrong saw that the emperor was still a little protective of the three princes in his words, and he was immediately unwilling.

The third prince did such a wrong thing, and the emperor even wanted to be partial.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lost a lot of money because of poisoning, and he was almost succeeded by the third prince.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a big life, and his strategy is not inferior to other princes, otherwise he would have died at this moment.

It's really sad that a good concubine in the middle palace was forced to do this by other princes.

Now the emperor still wants to protect the culprit, which makes them feel uneasy!

"In the previous Hejian Mansion case, the emperor had uprooted many officials, and ordered Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter. Now that the government and the opposition are clear, how can they talk about greed for ink and bribery? What do the two adults mean that there are no Qing officials in this court? ”

Dai Yuanji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, couldn't get used to the way these two people were biting and holding on, of course, he didn't want the emperor to let go of the three princes.

It's because these two people are princelings, and he doesn't like it.

"That's it! Now is not the time to talk about this, the case of the prince's poisoning must be resolved as soon as possible in order to appease the officials and the people. ”

The emperor interrupted the confrontation of several people, he knew what these people meant, it was nothing more than to add a few more charges to the third child.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and some officials made mistakes and were dismissed from their official positions before, and even when they raided their homes and exterminated their families, these officials also fell into the ground like this.

I can't wait to step on a few more feet, so that those officials will never turn over.

The emperor has become accustomed to the practices of these officials, but now that the object of this trampling has become his son, this makes him unhappy after all.

Besides, if the third child is really unbearable, he will lose the face of the royal family, and even the people will pass it on, and the prince's upbringing is nothing more than that.

The third prince looked at the long Danbi in front of him, this road that he had to walk every day, he never felt that it was as long as it was now.

His legs were a little weak, if it weren't for the guards on the side grabbing his arm, he didn't know if this soft body would have been able to walk into the Taihe Palace.

Take a deep breath and what should come will come. He shook his legs and stepped up the steps.

The two guards on the side grabbed the arms of the third prince, and a trace of disdain flashed in their eyes.

has the courage to murder the prince, but does not have the courage to bear the consequences.

"Sons see their father, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

As soon as he entered the Taihe Palace, he took a few steps forward, and the third prince fell to the ground with weak knees.

"Third child, you poisoned and murdered the prince, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"

When the emperor saw the appearance of the three princes, his heart suddenly softened.

originally wanted to reprimand him fiercely, but who knew that the other party's wizened and lifeless appearance made the emperor swallow the reprimands that he was about to export.
