Chapter 711: Blind Confidence

Tan Weixian didn't want to say these vain things that he didn't even believe, but he always had to calm down the prince before he could say anything else.

In any case, Tan Weixian's persuasion still worked. Although the prince was angry, he did not attack again, only snorted coldly, and sat down on the first chair angrily.

Tan Weixian poured another cup of hot tea for the prince, put it in his hand, picked up the position of the head and sat down, and said to the prince: "The government was only opened today, and the saint hasn't assigned an errand yet, right?" According to what was said at the end of last year, His Royal Highness King Yu will be responsible for laying wooden tracks, and the tracks, sleepers and all parts required for the project will be supplied by the Ministry of Industry. The minister thought that King Fu would never let King Yu complete the project smoothly, and he would make things difficult in many ways. No matter what thoughts King Fu and King Yu have, they are not to be afraid. ”

The prince said impatiently: "Gu is talking about the marriage of the sixth child now, and my father pointed out three women to him at once, and these women's family backgrounds are not bad. Even if the sixth child has no intention of seeking the position of the prince, he is afraid that others will use it to provoke him and make him disagree. ”

Tan Weixian smiled and persuaded: "Now that King Fu has peeped into the position of the prince, it is not a good thing to have one more person to compete with him." You are the crown prince, but they are just princes, and if they want to go further, they can only do their best to run errands and cultivate their wings. Not so with you.

It is often said that doing more is wrong, doing less is wrong, and not doing things is wrong. You are the prince, and you don't have to prove yourself with your political achievements like they do. Even if Your Highness doesn't do anything and doesn't leave any mistakes, the world in the future will be yours of Your Highness. Let them fight and fight hard to do their errands, and His Highness just need to calm down, find out the mistakes of the two princes, and find an opportunity to shoot down their dissent. ”

The prince glanced at Tan Weixian, and there was a little approval in his expression. These few words are quite okay, and he is like the master of the prince's mansion, not the stupid person who can only coax a three-year-old child.

Tan Weixian saw that the prince listened to his words, and took the opportunity to persuade: "Compared with King Fu and King Yu, the prince's errand is still very safe and not easy to make mistakes. There are routines for all matters in the household department, and we only need to do it according to the previous routines in our daily life. If you are not sure, you can directly hand it over to the cabinet and discuss it with a few ministers.

There are many ministers in the imperial court who support orthodoxy, and most of them are old ministers with weight. Your Highness's daily actions only need to be a little restrained, and there will be no big mistakes, not to mention that just the two princes are jumping, even if all your brothers jump out, they will not be able to shake your position as the prince. ”

To be honest, Tan Weixian, the head of the Prince's Mansion, is really exhausted. He never had a chance to say these things in the past, and even if he did, he didn't dare to say no.

These subordinates of the prince and the courtiers who support the prince no longer expect the prince to do anything earth-shattering, and they have no hope of assisting a generation of Ming monarchs. I just hope that the prince can settle down a little bit, and his life is not too luxurious. When the government is greedy for the treasury and silver, it can be slightly restrained.

However, with such a simple request, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not do it.

After so many years of being the prince, he has long lost his due prudence, not only arrogant and lascivious, but also stubborn and self-serving, and rarely listens to people's admonitions.

Take the household department as an example, the prince has been in charge of the household department for many years, and he is getting bolder and more ruthless. Sometimes, Tan Weixian even feels that the prince is looking for death, as if he feels that his time is running out, and living a day is a squandering day.

The crown prince was able to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, thanks to Liu Chengzhi, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Yu Shiqing, the secretary of the household department, and others who controlled the household department tightly and maneuvered in many ways, so that the prince's greedy behavior would not leak out.

What's more, last year, the imperial court implemented the rail transportation project, which was already costly, and the burden on the imperial court was also much heavier. As the prince of the prince, not only did he not know how to share the worries of the court, but he thought that such a large amount of silver taels in and out was a great opportunity to make money, and he was greedy for a large amount of silver taels.

Tan Weixian privately believed that the emperor sent Jiang Yifan, who was close to King Yu, into the household department, which was probably a warning to the prince. Just looking at Jiang Yifan's most of the year's household department, but there are no superfluous actions, it can be seen that the emperor still wants to defend the prince and urge the prince to be more restrained. In other words, the crown prince's position is still solid.

Why didn't the prince take Jiang Yifan in his eyes, let alone feel that the emperor had the intention of protecting him.

Tan Weixian said these words, in fact, he just wanted to say to the prince, you don't have to do anything, you can sit firmly in the position of the prince. The premise is that you can't go any further and take the initiative to stay away from the crown prince.

But the prince didn't think so, he listened to Tan Weixian's words of consolation, and the worries and annoyances in his heart disappeared instantly. After learning that his position as crown prince was still firmly on him, Tan Weixian's words of admonition again, the crown prince felt that it was not very pleasant to hear.

"Okay, okay, Lone knows what Mr. Tan means. Mr. Tan also said just now, after all, this world is still a lonely world, what does it matter if you spend your own money from your own family business? ”

Tan Weixian's heart immediately swelled with bitter water, he said the wrong thing! He said those words of relief for half a day, and they were used by the prince in this place.

"But Your Highness," Tan Weixian remedied, "you are still the prince now, and you still have to maintain the name of virtue in front of the emperor and courtiers." ”

The prince sneered with disdain, "Mr. Tan only knows how to use these alarmist words to fool Lone, and Lone doesn't believe it, Mr. Tan will not know how the children of those squires and rich men live." Aren't the so-called gentlemen all spending a lot of money earned by their ancestors? Will they wait until the old lady of the family dies before they can be at ease? ”

The prince glanced at Tan Weixian, who was like a mourner, and said with some pride: "My son spends Laozi's belongings, that's a matter of course." On the contrary, if the money earned by Lao Tzu is not spent on his own children, then what do they do with those family businesses? The royal family business is the world, I am the prince of a country, and I am the heir of the world, so what does it matter if I spend my own money? ”

Tan Weixian was distressed and helpless by the prince's words, and he originally wanted to say a few more words to redeem the blind confidence he had caused to the prince. But the prince had already stood up, shook the front of his robe, and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, I watched the fireworks in the canal yesterday too late, and I didn't sleep well when I went back." I'll go back to my room and rest. ”

Tan Leixian remembered something, followed the footsteps of the prince and said: "The officials who were sent out to take care of the follow-up of taxes a year ago, because of the Chinese New Year, His Royal Highness has not had time to see them. At this time, the government has been opened, does the prince want to meet them and ask about the situation? ”

As the prince walked out, he waved his hand back and said, "I don't have time these days, you and Master Yu should go and see them." If there is something wrong, you can remedy it yourself, and you can just talk to Gu afterwards. ”

As he spoke, the prince went straight out of the door, and his steps were extremely brisk. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
