There is nothing wrong with what the prince presented, and all the content written on it about King Chen's existing property is undoubtedly King Chen's property. There is no omission, and there is no overreporting, just so much, the prince's investigation can be described as just right.

"Nonsense!" After reading it, the emperor threw the paper into a ball and threw it on the ground.

"Father's anger!" Seeing that the emperor had an angry look, the prince hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Erchen also thinks that these things reported by Qu Fucheng are really nonsense!" It is estimated that Qu Fucheng hated the third brother, so he came up with such an alarmist framing method in the prison cell! If everything written above is true, the third child will have 10,000 handfuls of silver every year, and if it is accumulated like this, wouldn't it be rich enough to rival the country? It's not to set up a door on his own, what's the use of the third child asking for so much silver? ”

The prince was sincerely frightened on his face, but in fact, he was overjoyed in his heart. The father was so angry that he could see that he believed what was written on it. Otherwise, if it is nonsense, wouldn't it be laughed off?

At this time, he didn't add more mentions, so that his father realized that the real intention of the third child to do this was - to set up his own door, and when?

The prince is doing business outside, and it is disgraceful at best to say this. If there is no corruption or abuse of private power, the business itself will not be condemned. Based on this incident alone, to say more is to be reprimanded, saying that you can't do such a dishonorable thing.

Therefore, it is necessary to make the father aware of the positive intention of the third child to do these things, so as to maximize the effect of these things reported by "Qufu City".

If not, maybe the son's father will praise the third child for having brains.

But judging from his father's reaction at this time, it is obvious that his father also realized the strangeness of this, and realized that the third child is not just smart and can make money, otherwise he would not be so angry.

The emperor leaned on the dragon chair, squinted slightly at the prince, and asked, "What does Lin'er think?" ”

The crown prince made a very frightened appearance and didn't dare to look at the emperor, but his words were unambiguous, hung his head, and analyzed the emperor neatly and carefully: "Father Emperor Mingjian, the son thinks that these things reported by Qufucheng are really too evil, and they are not necessarily all true. The third brother has always had brains, and he is used to squandering on weekdays, so it is possible to find some ways to make money for himself. It's just that what is he going to do with this income of ten thousand taels of silver a year? ”

"He himself has money and reward. In order to satisfy the squandering on weekdays, one or two thousand taels of silver a year is enough, so why bother to make a living? What's more, if you study it carefully, when will the third child start planning for these livelihoods? I'm afraid I'm going to have to calculate it when I'm fourteen or fifteen years old, right? So...... How deep and terrible is the third child's scheming? Isn't it a big thing, why have you been planning these things since you were so young? What do you want from the riches of this country? Erchen thought that the third brother would not be like this. ”

The emperor looked at the crown prince for a long time, and said with a smile: "How can I listen, what you mean by this is not that your third brother will not be like this, but to remind me that your third brother's intention lies in this?" ”

The crown prince heard that something was wrong with the emperor's words, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Father Emperor Mingjian!" Erchen has no such intention! It was the father who asked his son's opinion, and the son said both possibilities. It's just for the sake of prudence, and I don't mean to say that the third brother is not! After all...... After all, we haven't verified the industries listed above. If Erchen blindly favors the third brother, once things go wrong, wouldn't Erchen deliberately blind his father's eyes? So Erchen can only talk about all the possibilities in detail. ”

The prince was so frightened that he hit his head on the ground, and he didn't even dare to lift it up.

This time, the fear was real.

The father's tone was very strange, a little yin and yang. said that, it seemed that he was in the same group as the third child, and he heard that he was harming the third child and was unhappy.

What's going on? Even if the father believes in the third child more, it won't be like this.

The emperor looked at the prince with heavy eyes, and after a while, he smiled: "Your words also make sense." If everything written above is true, your third brother's wolf ambition is clearly revealed...... It seems that I need to take a closer look. ”

The words "wolf ambition" were said very heavily by the emperor.

The prince was particularly uncomfortable to listen to. But the father's words are nothing to find fault with. It sounds like I am aware of the seriousness of the matter and has taken it seriously.

"Lin'er, do you have a heart...... Get up. Don't worry, I'll investigate this matter thoroughly. The emperor said calmly.

The crown prince hurriedly said: "My father is too famous. It's just that Qu Fucheng found his son, and the son's minister was unlucky, and when he encountered this incident, he had to report it truthfully to his father. The word 'heart' is really impossible to talk about. In fact, Erchen felt in his heart that the third brother would not do such a rebellious thing, so in fact, ...... Erchen felt that there was no need to investigate thoroughly. ”

The emperor smiled and said: "It's better to check it out, after all, the stakes are very high." Well, I also know that you are in a dilemma, and I will not let you interfere in this matter in the future, even if you really find out something, you will not be complained about by your third brother. Go back with confidence. ”

The prince wanted to speak and stopped, making a very embarrassed look, and after a while, he answered "yes". got up and saluted the emperor and said, "The retainers are retired." ”

The emperor nodded, his face full of fatherly smiles.

The crown prince looked up slightly at the emperor's expression, bowed his head and retreated, until the door of the imperial study, then turned his back to the emperor and went out.

Looking at the back of the prince in the open window, the emperor's eyes were very heavy, very heavy......

It seems that he has wronged the third child......

is in cahoots with Qu Fucheng, and he has always been the prince.

Qu Fucheng bit the prince before, and the prince deliberately ordered it in order to blame the third child.

Because Qu Fucheng said by the prince has been doing things for the third child, because the third child did not save him, and brought out the third child's family resources, this situation is completely impossible.

Even if Qu Fucheng was doing things for the third child, it was impossible for the third child to let him know this. In business, if the third child really encounters something that cannot be solved, he can come directly to beg him. After all, these industries are known by God and the earth, and his father and son know. The third child is not stupid enough to risk leaking secrets and let others do it.

And Qu Fucheng can't have the ability to find out about these.

If you want to find out all these industries, you can't do it for a year and a half. Qu Fucheng is a small local official, as for working hard to do this?

Those who can have this mind are the Zhenguo Mansion and the Prince......

It can be seen that the prince is scheming to deal with his third brother in many ways.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to investigate these properties carefully, and it is impossible for him to condemn the third child because of this. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a solid industry for the third child outside?

As for the crown prince...... Such deliberate thoughts, again and again, again and again, seem to be really intolerable.

……

The prince went all the way out of Weiyang Palace, and he was very worried.

Thinking carefully about his own arrangement, from letting Qu Fucheng say that he wanted to see him in the prison, to asking his father if he could see him when he entered the palace, and then taking Qu Fucheng's handwritten letter to the imperial study, and then dealing with it in front of the emperor, there was nothing wrong, but why did you think that his father's reaction was so strange......

I always feel that my father's praise for him and my father's statement that he will thoroughly investigate this matter are perfunctory.

I was very flustered, but I felt that this panic was rootless and had no specific origin.

All the way back to the Prince's Mansion, pacing back and forth in the house. I called Zhang Fuhai to come over and confirm it, and confirmed that these industries were indeed the third, and then I was relieved.

In the imperial study, the emperor didn't even bother to eat dinner, so he sat in the imperial study so heavily. Li Zhonggui didn't dare to speak, so he had to stand outside the window and look at the emperor's face from time to time to find the right time.

After a long time, the emperor made a plan in his heart, and then instructed Li Zhonggui: "Pass it down and go to Yilan Palace for dinner." ”

Li Zhonggui heard this, and hurriedly ordered the little apprentice with fast legs and feet to go to Yilan Palace to report the news. I think that at this time, the dinner in Yilan Palace has just opened, and it is still too late to pass it on.

"Tell Zhongquan to come to the palace, wait in the imperial study, and I will tell him something." The emperor got up and commanded again.

Li Zhonggui asked a little eunuch to run errands again.

……

The next day, the prince went down to the early court, walked a while outside the palace gate with the ministers, and suddenly turned back and went to the harem.

As a crown prince, it is not wrong to go to the harem to visit his mother from time to time. What's more, what is the reason for the son to visit his mother, and does he have to pick the hour? As long as I miss it very much, I will go and pay it a visit.

Although Daniel is like this, he does not dare to do this. I can only go to Cining Palace to ask for peace in the name of missing the emperor's grandmother, and then go to Kunning Palace.

Seeing that the prince was coming, the queen sent the daughters of the left and right palaces, but her mother and son were talking in the house.

The crown prince asked directly in a low voice: "Queen Mother, last night, what was the movement on my father's side?" ”

The queen had already received news from her mother's family that the prince wanted to deal with the affairs of King Chen's property by herself. For a while, I was very attentive to the emperor's side. Seeing the prince asking so anxiously, he couldn't help but sink in his heart, thinking that the prince had messed up the matter.

He said in a low voice: "Yesterday, your father went to Yilan Palace for dinner, and when he turned around, he summoned Zhang Zhongquan in the imperial study and talked for a while. After you left yesterday, your father and emperor sank in the imperial study for a while before he ordered to go to Yilan Palace. ”

The queen became nervous because of this, but the prince listened to it, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this way, there is nothing." ”
