Chapter 39 The Three Princes and the Three Princes are in the same lineage
The six princes knew Long Yu's character and didn't like to drag mud and water, so he directly expressed his intention to win favor!
Long Yu also knew that the prince was looking for him just for the throne, but he didn't want to fall into this muddy water.
"Your Royal Highness attaches too much importance to the following, whether the crown prince and the third prince and His Royal Highness can bring prosperity to the dynasty, I can't be the master, it depends on the emperor's intentions, I will do my duty as a minister!"
The implication is that the emperor has the final say, and the two will not help each other!
The Six Princes knew that it was impossible to say that it was impossible to move Dragon Jade so simply, and they needed to work hard in the future.
"What Uncle Huang said is that now my father is seriously ill and can't say much, and many things may not be able to make my own decisions, I hope that Uncle Huang can protect my father from being harmed by traitors in his relationship with his father for many years!"
"Of course, whoever dares to hurt the imperial brother, I can't get around him first!"
Long Yu didn't know what the six princes meant when they said this, could it be that the crown prince and the third prince still dared to kill their father and seize power.
"Of course, there is one thing I think it is necessary to tell Uncle Huang!"
"What's the matter?"
"Someone saw the third prince go to the third prince's mansion, and asked the imperial uncle to be careful!"
Long Yu frowned slightly, and said: "Well, the third prince went to the mansion of the third prince, and there is nothing strange about it, is His Highness too worried!" ”
Long Yu knew what this meant, and the Sixth Prince probably wouldn't spread rumors, which would not do him any good.
But he can't say anything explicitly, after all, the matter of the dynasty's seizure of the heir is a family affair of other people, and there is no need for him to get involved.
And it is estimated that his royal brother has already made plans, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
The sixth prince was not angry when he heard such an indifferent answer, this time he visited Long Yu to see the other party's attitude first, and at the same time to convey one fact, it was enough.
"I hope I'm too worried, I've already said it, I won't bother next, farewell!"
The six princes got up and prepared to leave, Long Yu didn't expect the six princes to come and go like the wind, and they were ready to leave after a few words, it seemed that they didn't plan to continue to convince themselves.
That's fine, Long Yu hurriedly sent the six princes out of the mansion.
After the six princes left, Ye Yu walked out of the woods, looked at Long Yu, who was a little troubled, and said: "Why should Brother Long be worried, the emperor is seriously ill, and several princes are vying for power and profit, which dynasty is afraid that it is not all like this, no need to think about it!" ”
Long Yu sighed and said: "Hey, I didn't expect to come to this point so quickly, the imperial brother's body was still strong before the expedition, and it was like this in a blink of an eye, the change is too fast!" ”
Ye Yu knew that Long Yu was worried about Liu Cheng, and although he had never had a good impression of this emperor, he couldn't help but take care of Long Yu's mood.
"Don't worry, it's been so many days, and there hasn't been any news yet, the emperor should be fine!"
"I hope so!"
Since he came back, Long Yu had not seen the emperor, and Ye Yu had always had a question in his heart, which vaguely coincided with his long-standing uneasiness, but he couldn't say it clearly.
Nightfeather's worries grew more and more serious.
After the six princes left the Beiping Palace, they went back to the palace directly, and Dahl and Yinlou were still waiting for him to come back in the mansion.
"Your Highness, how is it?"
"As we expected, Long Yu refused to help anyone, and I also told him about the third prince!"
"That's good, after that, it's up to the battle between the three princes and the crown prince!"
"Well, by the way, what's going on in your Weitian Army, how many people can you control now?"
"It's not ideal, if you do it now, it is estimated that there are only about 400,000 people who can be controlled!"
"So little? Aren't you at the same level as Cai San and Qu Zhi, why are there so few people who can use them! ”
Yinlou said aggrievedly: "Your Highness doesn't know, most of the people in this army believe in Longyu, so naturally they are close to Cai San and them, and all we can control are those who joined later, it's not easy!" ”
Dahl: "And we are only responsible for armaments, the command is in the hands of Cai San, few people are willing to express their position, and we dare not make it too obvious!" ”
The Six Princes also knew that it was not easy to control the entire Weitian Army, and they did not force each other too much.
"It's okay, you continue to expand the scope, and I will fight for more money with the queen mother, and if it doesn't work, I will use money to pave the way!"
"Yes!"
In the past few days, although the atmosphere in the palace is very tense, the Wushuang City is still immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and living and working in peace and contentment is the greatest wish of the people
Since the imperial dynasty has been prosperous for many years, the stored grain and wealth are astronomical, and it is almost not difficult to rebuild the Yechen Mansion after the end of the battle, and even solve the employment problem of some people.
No one knows what will happen to the Qi Dynasty in the near future, and they don't know if this prosperous part of Wushuang City will still exist.
"I heard that the Sixth Prince went to visit Long Yu?" The third prince asked.
A big man with a scar on his face replied beside the third prince: "That's right, Your Highness, he didn't hide this matter, but went openly, and many people saw it!" ”
"What does the King of Peking mean?" The third prince asked casually.
"This ...... Our people can't get into the Beiping Palace! So it's not very clear yet! ”
The third prince didn't seem to care too much, he was actually very nervous, if Long Yu helped the sixth prince, he would definitely be a big enemy for himself, and the danger level even exceeded that of the crown prince.
The big man looked very rough, but his mind was delicate, and after thinking about it, he said to the third prince: "Your Highness, you shouldn't worry too much about this matter, everyone knows Long Yu's personality, I'm afraid this matter will not help others so easily, and the six princes are so simple and obvious, I'm afraid it is also for us to see, and it shouldn't be a threat!" ”
Dahan saw it very clearly, and the third prince nodded and praised, "Yes, Long Yu should not interfere in this matter, but our goal now is always ........., and we have to deploy it in advance, Zhang Meng, you are a trump card in my hand, and it depends on you when it is critical!" ”
It turns out that the big man is called Zhang Meng, which fits his figure very well.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this life is saved by you, and you will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!"
"You have to hide well during this time, don't let others find out about you, you can win by surprise at the critical moment!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The place where the third prince and Zhang Meng talked was not in the mansion, but in an independent courtyard, surrounded by some rouge places, and I don't know how this Zhang Meng could be so valued by the three princes.
In the palace of the Imperial Palace, the prince is approving the chapters of various places, due to the painstaking management of the dynasty over the years, the diligent administration of Emperor Liu Cheng, all the prefectures and counties are very rich, and the taxes paid every year are increasing, almost doubling this year, but Yechen Mansion, which was once a big family, can't pay a penny this year.
Even so, there is no way to do it, and the prince can't collect taxes much, after all, the entire Yechen Mansion has almost been destroyed.
The crown prince was asking Yang Si, the lord of the Wild Dust Mansion, about related matters.
"How's the recovery now, are all the people settled?"
"Your Highness Qiqi, due to the generous contributions from all over the country, the houses in all counties and counties in the prefecture are being built urgently, and the people have settled down!"
"Well, this tax won't force you this year, but what about next year?"
Yang Si looked embarrassed and replied, "This ...... I'm afraid that this will be exhausted next year, and now there is no source of income in the house, and every household still needs imperial relief, which is really difficult! ”
The crown prince was just about to get angry, and glanced at the people in the palace, the third prince and the fourth king were all standing in front, and they all looked at themselves, and they suppressed the fire again, and said with difficulty: "Okay, since this is the case, the taxes of your Yechen Mansion can be slowed down first, and then we will talk about it when it recovers later!" ”
"Thank you for your understanding!" Yang Si's sweat came down, and seeing the prince's expression, it was clear that he was going to scold himself, but somehow he changed his words, and he was very happy in his heart.
Although the tax has almost doubled, the prince is still a little dissatisfied, if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't ascended the throne yet, and he had to take into account the opinions of some ministers under the court, he would have to withdraw this useless Yang Si on the spot, and he couldn't pay a penny.
The anger in his heart was unsettled, and he was ready to take the three princes and the knife first.
Now the upper court is full of officials at all levels, and there is no prince except the crown prince, so the prince wants to directly restrict the financial resources of the three princes.
"By the way, ministers, now that the rebellion of King Qicheng has just been quelled, Yechen Mansion is in a mess, some unnecessary expenses should be reduced, the expenses in Feng Guifei's palace have been getting bigger and bigger recently, they are all clothes and jewelry or something, it is better to hand over Feng Guifei's expenses to the queen for unified management, so that it can be more reasonably distributed and used, and secondly, the money saved can better support the reconstruction of Yechen Mansion, what do you think?"
The expenses of the three concubines before were agreed by the emperor, and the Ministry of Finance directly allocated funds, without the Queen Mother's inquiry, Liu Cheng had not taken care of it before, and now that he is sick, he doesn't care, the three concubines almost spend as much as the Ministry of Finance gives, and the Ministry of Finance does not dare to ask too much.
Feng Guifei is the biological mother of the third prince, she is old, almost all of her expenses are for the third prince, the more money the opponent has, the greater the threat to herself, this is certainly not what the prince wants.
Without waiting for the prince to finish speaking, Li Wei, the Taishou Taibao, said: "This is not very good, the expenses of the three noble concubines have always been directly allocated by the emperor, and now that the emperor is seriously ill, he immediately changed the rules, is this a violation of filial piety!" ”
The prince was stunned for a moment, and a big hat was buttoned down.
Taifu Taibao Dongcheng then said: "Yechen Mansion does need a lot of money to rebuild, but now the amount of support from all over the country is enough, and there are even some private donations from wealthy businessmen, so there is no need to reduce the expenses of the concubine!" ”
Taishi Taibao Xue Chenghai said: "That's right, first, it is the rule set by the emperor before, if you change it, I'm afraid it will chill Feng Guifei's heart, Feng Guifei has served the emperor for many years, everyone can see it, and the second is that now the dynasty is prosperous, and the reconstruction of a Yechen Mansion does not need to use the emperor's money!" Let others know that they still think that our Qi Dynasty is poor and has to save money! ”
The prince said one word, and immediately three sentences came over.
"This ...... This! "I almost didn't suffocate the prince to death.
