Chapter 383: The Scourge of Counterfeit Money

Above the court, the wind and rain are coming, the emperor sits on the dragon chair, his head is straight, he can't distinguish joy and anger, and the imperial history Zhenzhen has words: "Nowadays, all kinds of rumors and rumors among the people are saying that the gambling house is owned by the prince, and the prince is required to pay money, which not only damages the reputation of the prince, but also arouses public anger." ”

"The ministers privately think that someone should be sent to deal with this matter, otherwise the majesty of the prince will plummet among the people, and the children of the royal family personally control the banker, there is a suspicion of cheating money, and it is necessary to quickly find out the truth and return the innocence of His Royal Highness the prince."

The imperial history seems to speak for the prince every sentence, but he thinks that the prince is the most suspicious.

"The minister thinks that what the Lord Yushi said is right, the night hanging division is famous, known for its ferocity, although it can deter the people for a while, but the people have no silver in their hands, and their lives are unsustainable, so it is inevitable that they will choose a desperate method, once the people rebel, Yangjing will fall into chaos."

"Now that the Great Dynasty is about to meet, the envoys of other countries are setting off one after another, and they will arrive in Yangjing in the near future, and they will be used by people with good intentions to take advantage of the situation, and the harm will be the entire Quyang Kingdom, and please make a decision as soon as possible."

Hong Youwei, the governor of the council, stood up and supported the imperial history.

"The imperial history and the counsellor are thinking about the country, but those people are to blame, they want to get something for nothing, and they are going astray in a vain attempt to obtain wealth through gambling, who forced them to take out all the silver and bet?"

"Gambling has wins and losses, they should be prepared to lose before betting, they chose the wrong one, but they want to make trouble in the gambling house, according to the minister's view, they should be taught a lesson."

Pei Guang, the squire of the Chinese book, said that he firmly supports the prince's lineage, and belongs to the same level as the governor, but the two don't deal with each other much, so he naturally wants to support the prince.

"Then according to Pei Shilang's words, shouldn't gambling houses be banned? The existence of gambling houses is harmful, and there are so many people in Yangjing who have gone bankrupt and died because of gambling, but the people who opened gambling houses have gained huge wealth with human blood. ”

"If people's self-control is insufficient, it is better to solve the problem at the source, and the minister thinks that he can take this opportunity to demolish all the gambling houses in Yangjing, and improve the laws and regulations, and never set them up again."

Hong Shenzhi did not give an inch.

The prince quietly glanced at Hong Youwei, and secretly sighed that Pei Guang was stupid, there was more than enough success and failure, the gambling house was demolished, and the loss of his interests was huge.

The emperor sat up straight, and the quarrel below stopped, he casually teased his eyelids, but looked straight at Yan Suizhi, who seemed to be watching a play: "Third child, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Yan Suizhi was caught off guard and smiled: "Erchen stood and watched." ”

The ministers in the palace were speechless for a while, and they all felt that the king should be hanging, how could such an important matter be answered in a child's play, the emperor gave him a chance to value him, but he didn't cherish it, and he didn't look like a courtier at all, I am afraid that he was used to it among the people.

The imperial history has already come forward, so why bother Yan Suizhi to express his position, the emperor may not know that there is his handiwork in this, and he made a special trip to ask him.

Hubu Shangshu stood up at this time: "Looking at the annual national tax and the majority of the household income, most of it comes from the gambling house, it is undeniable that there are many people who gamble and their wives are separated, but this is the root of human inferiority, and the existence of the gambling house has its reason." ”

"If the gambling house is demolished, a large part of the national tax will be lost, half a year ago General Shen was still leading the troops to fight, grain, grass and weapons need the support of money, the war has made the treasury empty, we must not destroy our arms again, now we still have to solve the problem of the people making trouble."

He is in charge of the bills of the imperial court, and the ministries that need financial support also have to argue with the household department, so what he said is still a bit strong, and even the governor is silent, and when it comes to the treasury, it is closely related to everyone's interests.

"In fact, in addition to the people making trouble, there are also a large number of people who are also making trouble, as if they have invested a lot of silver to bet and suppress the people who have won His Royal Highness King Jin, but the gambling house can't come up with the silver, which involves the problem of the gambling house's dishonesty."

"If we can't appease the people from the root, I am afraid that it will become more and more intense, and then the Yangjing rebellion will be inevitable."

The consequences of the people's rebellion are the most serious, and if it is not good, civil strife will break out, especially at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and improper suppression will cause a series of disasters.
