"The prince's move is really far-sighted." Even Sai Gongzi sighed, quite emotional.

When King Yuan heard this, he frowned and said, "Is it difficult, there is still a deep meaning in this?" ”

Sai Gongzi nodded: "First, it pleases the emperor, second, it suppresses His Highness, and third, it shocks the family faction." ”

"Although the family faction was also a princeling, after experiencing the vicissitudes of the flood, it separated from His Royal Highness the Prince."

"As far as I know, after this incident, His Royal Highness the Prince's prestige in the court has dropped a lot."

"Today's move is undoubtedly a counterattack by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Or rather, it's the prince's means to save his reputation!"

"After today's incident, the situation of the family faction in the court will be even more difficult."

"This is what the prince wants, he wants everyone to know, this is the end of betraying him!"

"After such a killing of chickens and monkeys, the forces under his command are afraid to be a lot more loyal."

When King Yuan heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter: "Three birds with one stone is indeed a good means." ”

"Then how should the king fight back?"

Sai Gongzi shook his head: "The prince took out 300,000 taels, to put it mildly, it is a selfless dedication." To put it bigger, it is for the sake of the great cadres! ”

"No matter how calculating he is, at least in the eyes of most people, this move is a big deal."

"His Royal Highness wants to fight back against the crown prince against the righteousness, and it is really unwise for me to dare to say a word."

When King Yuan heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly: "Could it be that this king's Lin Ziying was given to him for nothing?" ”

"Lin Ziying was trained from the hands of this king, and it can be regarded as the descendant of this king, so he gave it to him, and this king is unwilling!"

As if he had guessed that King Yuan would say this, Sai Gongzi chuckled: "It's not that there is no way, on the surface, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed occupying the righteousness." ”

"At this time, no matter who jumps out and says that he is not, he will be pointed out by Qianfu."

"Unless..., this 300,000 taels of silver, there is a problem!"

King Yuan's brows stretched, and he was a little interested: "How can there be a problematic method?" ”

"If this silver is earned, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed worried about the country and the people, and there is nothing to say."

"But what if the money doesn't come from the right way?"

"The prince is knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime is added to the first degree!"

King Yuan's brows just stretched out, and he wrinkled again: "Sir, are you saying that the 300,000 taels of silver were earned illegally by the crown prince?" ”

"No, he's a prince of the Great Qian, how could he do such a thing for the sake of a mere amount of money?"

"Your Highness, we don't have to say it, we have to speak with facts."

"Although I don't know the specific expenses of the East Palace, I have some general understanding."

"Although the East Palace is called the East Palace, in the final analysis, it has not opened a mansion, and it cannot achieve money and grain autonomy like those feudal kings."

Hearing this, King Yuan nodded silently.

In Daqian, often when the prince becomes an adult, the imperial court will select a fief, and then go to the fief to open a mansion and become a vassal.

Although it is said that it is a feudal domain, in fact, it is similar to a separation.

After the separation, the feudal lord was able to achieve autonomy in the fiefdom.

Generally speaking, as long as you don't do something that is contrary to Tiangang and rebellious, the court will not care.

After all, the children have grown up.

Only the crown prince is an exception!

Because the crown prince is the prince! It is the prince who will succeed the unification in the future!

So he definitely can't split up, and he has to live in the same family with the emperor all the time.

However, in order to highlight the particularity of the prince, the imperial court made an institution - the East Palace!

The East Palace is actually a small court, and there are also civil and military officials, which can be regarded as the team selected by the emperor for the prince.

After Prince Ke succeeds to the throne, the status of these people will rise with the tide.

But even so, no matter how special the prince is, the East Palace cannot achieve autonomy.

If you don't say anything else, you can't get by with money and food!

Although the East Palace also has an inner treasury, the silver in the inner treasury is not earned by the prince himself, but is negotiated by the imperial court and withdrawn from the treasury every year!

This is the trouble of the prince, how much money to spend has to greet the family.

Unlike the brothers who have already become a vassal, they can wave as much as they want.

But for the sake of the future throne, it was all worth it.

"In that case, then I dare to ask Your Highness, how has the state of the treasury been in recent years?" Sai Gongzi's eyes seemed to have a glint in them.

King Yuan seemed to understand something, and he also became excited: "In recent years, my father has been actively preparing for the Northern Expedition, and the money and grain accumulated in the treasury over the years have all been consumed. ”

"I even issued orders many times to revoke the use of the palace."

"In order to respond to his father, the crown prince and the king have also withdrawn the use of the palace many times."

"Then Your Highness can still take out 300,000 taels of silver now?" Sai Gongzi's tone is quiet, and the final word is final!

King Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, he completely understood what Sai Gongzi meant.

Yes, the economic situation of the East Palace should be similar to that of the Yuan Palace.

But now that the Yuan Palace's Mansion is basically tightening its belts and living, why can you take out 300,000 taels of silver to appear in front of the Venerable Master in the court?

Irrationality! It's so unreasonable!

Even if the prince is frugal, no, even if the prince doesn't eat or drink, he will definitely not be able to save so many silver taels.

Then there is only one possibility!

As the crown prince, he knew the law and broke the law, and took the lead in illegal money-making.

The expression on King Yuan's face was visibly happy, and he said with great relief: "Mr. has strategized and won a thousand miles!" ”

"It's really my first think tank!"

"Even compared with the two sons of Langya Mountain, it's not much better!"

"According to this king, I'm afraid it won't be long before the word "Sai Gongzi" can be removed."

In the face of such praise, Sai Gongzi's heart was also a little fluttering, but his mouth was still modest: "Your Highness has praised it." ”

"Your Highness is now preparing to point out this matter at the next court meeting, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will make a fool of himself on the spot?"

"Nature."

"No."

"Huh?" King Yuan frowned, and said in surprise: "Why is it inappropriate?" ”

"Your Highness, how many silver taels are there in the East Palace, we can all count them as seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, can't Your Majesty still be clear?"

King Yuan froze in place: "You mean, this matter was acquiesced by my father." ”

"The emperor's mind is incomprehensible."

"But in my opinion, that's the case eighty percent."

"After all, the emperor's idea of the Northern Expedition is getting heavier and heavier, and he has even begun to recruit, but he is just subject to money and food."

"Now that the crown prince has made a donation of money, the emperor naturally supports it from the bottom of his heart."

"Even if you know in your heart that the source of this money may not be right, eighty percent will turn a blind eye."

When King Yuan heard this, he fell silent.

The Northern Expedition was Emperor Renxuan's lifelong wish, and to be honest, it was really possible.

However, after a short while, King Yuan smiled.
