Chapter 356: The Second Prince's suspicions are getting worse and worse
Since, Ji Jun instilled in the second prince the idea that "the master is nothing, and the subordinates can override the master, and even harm the master", the more the second prince thinks about it, the more it makes sense.
A few days after returning to the Second Prince's Mansion, I ran into Concubine He who was a distant relative of Concubine Zou's family.
In the past, the second prince would only think that it was the jealousy between women, and the second prince was happy to see it.
Two big money bags are fighting each other, and in the end, they all have to buy from him, and the price will be raised higher and higher! His second prince's money bag will become more and more bulging.
If it weren't for the bulging money bag that made him staggering, where would he dare to think about the position of the prince!
Cang Liao knows etiquette in a real way, and the ancients don't deceive me!
The second prince still remembers his old days, he was very short on money, and he panicked when it came to the New Year's holiday.
The supply of food and clothing for the crown prince and brother himself is higher than his own, as well as the subsidy of the queen's mother, and secretly the filial piety of the ministers.
When he is the prince, he really wants nothing, and his father sometimes has rewards when he is in a good mood, but most of the rewards are for the third prince!
After the second prince married Concubine He and Concubine Zou, the dowry given by his father-in-law's family was enough to shock the second prince, it turned out that the "rich" in his mind was so different from the real "rich"!
However, there is too much money, and I am worried!
What a flower!
It should be used on the blade, for example, to compete for the position of the prince! It's fun to be a prince and an emperor!
However, when Ji Jun said this, the second prince found that only money is not enough, he must know how to spend it, who to spend it on, and whether it can play a role.
For example, he spent money on going to the "good neighbor", but it didn't work!
It's Ji Jun, who is loved by so many people, and he has to borrow money from others.
This realization made the second prince very frustrated.
The second prince saw that Concubine He was going to deal with the stewardship, so he asked for the first time.
"Aifei, why are you so angry?"
After Concubine He saluted, she suppressed her anger and said,
"This steward is from Sister Zou's family, I thought he was an honest man, so he was responsible for the purchase of kitchen raw materials, but I didn't expect him to be bold and collude with the black-hearted traders outside, and even raised the price of flat, a few taels of flour, and he had to buy it with dozens of taels of silver! Not only that, but he also dared to use shoddy flour to feed his subordinates, but several subordinates were poisoned after eating, and one of them almost died before he was discovered! ”
The second prince was very surprised, he had never encountered such a thing, since he was a child, he came to stretch out his hands to open his mouth, and a bag of flour was dozens of taels of silver or a few taels of silver, it made no difference to him.
Yuan Qian looked at the second prince a little ignorant, and obviously didn't know the seriousness of this matter at all. Because, the second prince didn't know how much flour he needed every day and every month in his house, let alone rice, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and so on.
The first is that you don't know the price of firewood and rice, and the second is that you don't know the harmfulness of things. That's it, don't talk nonsense about deficits, waste, and making ends meet, and you can't understand what you say.
"Why not eat minced meat", it is everywhere.
Source shallow direct road,
"Your Highness, this man is truly a heinous sin! Do you think that he can use moldy flour to feed his subordinates today, and maybe one day he will be able to give it to his masters, and at that time, if something happens to him, won't he regret it? ”
Concubine He also quickly understood Yuan Qian's intentions, so she said,
"Yes, Your Highness, if this person harbors evil intentions and poisons the concubine's food, won't the concubine die unjustly?"
Concubine He didn't dare to say that she would poison the second prince, so she "said cruel words" on herself, and also reminded the second prince that Concubine Zou might be the mastermind behind the scenes.
However, the second prince didn't expect Concubine Zou, but suddenly remembered what Ji Jun said about Qiu Shiliang.
"Two kings, one concubine, four prime ministers"!
The second prince's teeth were a little warling, he held back stubbornly, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth,
"Hit fifty boards and sell them!"
Fifty big boards, if you don't die, you're crippled!
Although Concubine He did not achieve the result she wanted, the second prince personally ordered it, which was equivalent to slapping Concubine Zou in the face! Also satisfied!
However, once he realized that he was really "very bad", the second prince suddenly looked at everyone like "Qiu Shiliang".
In fact, the second prince also knew in his heart that he was only a few pounds and a few taels, but because he was a prince, since he was a child, there were many flatterers around him, and few people dared to tell him the truth directly.
Even if someone is really good for him and points out his shortcomings, it is not easy to say it very directly, and he will be stripped of his head and face.
After all, he is a prince, and if he is charged with "disrespecting the royal family", he may be a pain in his flesh and skin, and he will be punished and demoted. If it's heavy, maybe he will be exiled and killed.
People who have already reached a place in the court, no one is stupid, who can say something for the sake of a prince who has no future, although it is good for him, but it is very likely to anger him, to bring disaster to himself?
Therefore, it's all point-to-point.
And when the second prince arrives to study, he will feel upset.
Study, in the second prince, there is no motivation, for example, if you learn well, what rewards can you get.
Except for a few words of praise from the masters of the imperial study, there is no real return at all.
At the same time, there is no responsibility for the second prince to study. is not like the prince, he is the prince, and he needs to be the king of the world in the future to protect the country and society.
The masters of the imperial study didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, in short, they didn't bother much with the second prince.
You can learn, but if you don't learn, you can't learn. Anyway, you just need to know the words.
Learning naturally can't be compared with the light-heartedness of dogs and horses. Therefore, over time, the second prince deceived himself into believing that he was a prince and was born to enjoy glory and wealth. Why do you learn so much, it's tiring and not fun!
Later, the crown prince disappeared, and the second prince was pushed to the forefront.
Ning Guogong and other courtiers who supported the "Lichang" began to persuade the second prince to devote himself to learning the strategy of governing the country, and even wrote military books and war strategies, and rode and archery kung fu.
The second prince also calmed down and read for a few days, but it didn't last long, and someone said to the second prince as he liked,
"Your Royal Highness, what you want to fight for in the future is the position of the prince, and you don't want to compete with the Duke of Liguo and the Duke of Qin to be the generalissimo, and you don't want to compete with those sour talents to be the champion, why are you reading so many books? No, you don't! You know everything, and so many ministers are idle for rice? All you have to do is think about how to get these ministers to agree to you being the crown prince! ”
The second prince felt that it made sense.
In addition, Concubine He and Concubine Zou are from merchants, and all they see are money exchanges and shopping mall battles, but they only feel that as long as they have enough money, nothing is a problem. You see, those high-ranking ladies have not been able to enter the prince's mansion, they have come in, and it is not very useful to learn from them, so they also lack far-sighted strategic vision.
And in order to get the second prince together, the two of them are naturally based on his preferences, who is willing to go against his scales?
The second prince has had a lot of contact with the two, and he is also deeply influenced by the two, and feels that as long as there is money, as long as there is enough money, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and he will be able to recruit the most capable and talented people in the world to do things for us!
However, the scene seen in the "good neighbor" made the second prince begin to waver.
After returning home, I saw the scene of Concubine He being in charge again, which aggravated the vacillation in the second prince's heart.
As soon as such thoughts appeared, they became more and more uncontrollable.
He does official work in the palace, and he gets more monthly profits than other mansions, who makes his second prince rich!
But even so, the steward still took the opportunity to be greedy for ink and fill his pockets.
So, if this steward is a certain important minister in the court in the future, will he also be greedy and become a person like Qiu Shiliang?
The second prince substituted himself and this steward into the context of the Tang Dynasty.
If he reigns over the world in the future, who can guarantee that all ministers will be honest and law-abiding?
Not to mention a group, there is a minister who is the manager of the Second Prince's Mansion, is he still sitting firmly on the throne?
Thinking of this, the second prince couldn't help but feel fear.
Suddenly, the second prince said to the source,
"Sir, I heard that Huai Anhou has a magic medicine in his hand that can control others, so let his daughter enter the house as soon as possible, no matter which one it is. I don't care how much the dowry is, and I can even give him a generous dowry, but the premise is that he has to contribute the medicine in his hand! ”
After listening to this, Yuan Qian's heart sank.
