Today is a monthly pilgrimage meeting.

Officials and princes of all sizes must gather to hear what has happened this month.

According to common sense, it is not necessary for all princes to arrive.

However, no matter how big the rules are, the emperor said that every prince must participate, that is, they must come.

The ministers also knew that the emperor was preparing to choose the best one among several princes, and in doing so, he was also narrowing the gap between several princes.

A prince who often appears in front of ministers and an obscure prince naturally receive different support.

Even if the second prince is in the limelight, there are people among the ministers who support the other princes.

After all, everyone knows that the rewards of icing on the cake and sending charcoal in the snow are not the same.

As long as the emperor did not determine who the crown prince was, the situation of ministers standing in line would never stop.

Accompanied by the sharp voice of the eunuch in the palace, all the ministers and princes had already stood, and an old figure slowly moved and was supported by the eunuch to sit on the dragon chair.

Long live our emperor!

With a neat chanting, today's court meeting officially began.

When the minister came up, the minister of Xinhui reported what auspicious times had appeared all over the country, how many places had good weather and rain, and how many people had taken the initiative to send how much silver to the imperial court had been grateful for the emperor's grace.

Then there was the minister in charge of foreign affairs, saying that the envoys of which country had come to show goodwill, and where the small country had suffered natural disasters and human disasters, and asked for the assistance of the DPRK.

In the end, several generals came forward, saying that the morale of the trained troops was high, and the people at the border gates were all grateful for the emperor's mighty sky and shocked the Quartet.

This kind of process, every such pilgrimage meeting will come again.

After all, there are the most officials who come to this kind of conference, and all the good things that can be shown are some good words.

Even if there is no harvest in the national drought, it should be said at the court meeting that the common people eat one by one with big cheeks and round hips, and they can't even tie their clothes when they walk on the road.

As for whether it's hot or propped, no one cares about that.

Because the grand court meeting is for all officials to see, and it is also for the people to hear, and the real discussion of important matters is in the ordinary small meeting.

After all the officials went through the whole process as usual, it was the turn of several princes to speak in turn, telling what they had learned recently, or what good things they had done for the imperial court.

With a few nods from the Emperor, this meeting was over.

The officials withdrew one after another, leaving only a few princes and the emperor to talk about some things alone.

Wait for all the officials to go.

The aging figure sitting on the dragon chair slowly spoke:

"A few days ago."

"On the street outside the Second Prince's Mansion, more than 20 people died overnight."

"What's going on?"

The old emperor's voice was not loud, but it directly made all the princes raise their heads.

They didn't expect that they had already done things so carefully, and even cleaned up the corpses as quickly as possible, and the old emperor could still know it clearly.

Since the second prince is mentioned in the matter just mentioned, the second prince naturally has to stand up and answer:

"The cause of this incident is because there is a so-called strange person in the rivers and lakes caused a turmoil, which makes some unknown Xiaoxiao make a big fuss about it."

The second prince was about to continue talking, but the emperor stopped with a slight lift of his hand.

"Don't let the young people wantonly cause chaos in the imperial city."

"You brothers and brothers are also watching."

"Speaking of which, the moat is going to be repaired recently, and the silver from the treasury is going to be sent to the frontier, so you just need to find a way to get some money."

"That's it, let's disperse"

After the old emperor finished speaking, the eunuchs around him hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old emperor leave the hall little by little.

It wasn't until the old emperor was far away that the other princes dared to raise their heads.

They glanced at each other and had nothing to say to each other.

As a prince, it is natural to figure out the meaning of the old emperor.

None of the people present were fools.

The old emperor had just made what he said clear enough.

The old emperor knew all the things they did, but the old emperor looked down on the means of relying on strange people directly.

There is a sentence in the middle, which is an additional reminder to the second prince.

The so-called elder brother and younger brother all look at the point, which means that all the princes have a share, and no one can run.

Now that the emperor has left, the princes are too lazy to act with each other, and all of them leave without looking at the others.

After the six princes left the palace, they were a little worried.

He didn't expect that he was actually among the emperor's names, could it be that the forces he had secretly cultivated had already been known to the emperor?

Or did the emperor just know the actions of most of the princes and was too lazy to take him out of it alone?

Neither of these is probably a good thing.

But what the six princes cared about the most was the last sentence that the old emperor said.

Let a few princes make money.

As a prince, the only thing that can make money on the bright side is to rely on his own fiefdom.

And the fief will only be given if the emperor nods, and only the second prince has a fief among the princes.

It seems that this is indeed biased in favor of the second prince, but it can also give other princes more room to play.

If other princes can get more money, they will naturally be more brilliant than the powerful second prince.

However, to repair the moat of the imperial city, the gap is not a few thousand taels of silver.

It's normal to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver casually.

Even if the princes have great ability, they can't scrape together so much money in a short time.

Then you can only find a way to borrow it.

And in the Imperial City, there is only one person who can lend so much silver in such a short period of time.

Li Momei.

From this point of view, it seems that the emperor himself already knows what the blind fortune teller is talking about.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone around in a big circle, and suddenly brought Li Momei up in such an obscure way.

The sixth prince was just sad because of Li Momei's close relationship with that imperial uncle.

Fortunately, Li Momei said that she was sick.

Then he was distressed because the one he had loved all these years was concerned by other princes.

But fortunately, the blind fortune teller doesn't know where he died in the end, and no one can continue to prove it, and it can be regarded as death without proof.

But now that the emperor has pointed it out in this way, even if only he can think of it now, the other princes will think of who to borrow money from with the help of their respective advisers.

And Li Momei's money is not blown by the wind.

If one prince suddenly lends so much money, then the other princes will have to wait for time if they want to borrow again.

This also seems to be the key to the emperor's vague test of the reaction speed of several princes.

Thought of this layer.

The six princes left the palace gate directly and prepared to go to Li Momei's house.
