Chapter Ninety-Nine: Threatening the Prince

After lunch, Su Miaoxue consciously retreated into the side hall.

She now wants to take advantage of the prince's east wind to escape from the cage of this "holy woman".

You have to know how to be in a dilemma, the prince is busy with business now, if he keeps following Li Yunxing, it will be like surveillance.

Therefore, she must know how to seize the opportunity and not let him feel disgusted.

Jiang Chang hurriedly entered the East Palace and passed the news to his master: "Prince, I just received news that King Zhaoyang has set off and left the capital. ”

Li Yunxing raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded, and said, "Very good, Liu Ruxu is fast to pass on the news." ”

"But I heard that the person was still sick, so the Liu family specially sent a team of personal guards to escort him." Jiang Chang said.

Li Yunxing sneered: "Liu Zhongqing is very protective of it, it doesn't matter, it also saves the affairs of the palace." ”

Brothers, Emperor Wu is the last thing he wants to see.

So even if Li Yunxing hated Su Zhaoyang no matter how much he hated him, he had to consider Emperor Wu's feelings, and he didn't really want to put him to death.

Therefore, Liu Zhongqing's move is purely a snake to add.

He paused, then asked, "What about that one?" Can there be movements? ”

Jiang Chang's face changed a little, lowered his head and said, "There is no big movement over there, and my subordinates haven't found out anything." ”

Li Yunxing nodded, and was about to arrange the next moves, when there was already a sound of announcement outside the door.

"Tell the prince, Taichang Temple Governor Cheng Ma Yuncong and Sinong Temple Shaoqing Yang Tinghe ask to meet." A guard hurried in to pass the word.

The two adults gathered outside the East Palace, but they didn't like each other.

didn't say a few words, the two looked like they were going to fight, and the guards hurriedly passed it on.

Li Yunxing gave Jiang Chang a look and asked him to avoid it for the time being.

After that, he said, "Pass them into the palace." ”

"Yes!" The guard replied.

After a while, Ma Yuncong, the chief of Taichang Temple, and Yang Tinghe, the young secretary of Sinong Temple, walked into the main hall.

"The ministers see the prince, the prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose ......" The two bowed and saluted, their voices extremely loud, as if they wanted to express their anger to Li Yunxing in this way.

"Excuse me."

The two of them raised up, first Ma Yuncong glanced at Yang Tinghe with disdain, and then turned around and bowed to Li Yunxing.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive Weichen for being rude. This Yang Tinghe is only a county guard, and it is difficult to be the important task of Sinong Temple at all, and he also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take back his order and choose another virtuous minister. Ma Yuncong said unceremoniously.

Li Yunxing frowned when he heard this, and said unhappily, "If you want to impeach the imperial court officials, there is no real evidence, just rely on your words, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, right?" ”

"What Weichen said is a fact for all to see!" Ma Yuncong hurriedly said, "Last year, His Majesty Emperor Wu ordered that the official be responsible for the construction of the cemetery, and only allocated 20,000 taels of silver, which is enough to buy some stones. The repair of the imperial mausoleum is a major event of the country, and about the feng shui lifeline of a country, the lower officials are also ordered to do things. ”

As he spoke, he pulled a scroll out of his sleeve pocket and presented it.

Li Yunxing stretched out his hand to take it, and after reading it a few times, he said: "This matter is indeed explained by my father, and Taichang Temple is responsible for it, but all matters must be handled according to the rules." ”

Ma Yuncong snorted coldly in his heart, this Yang Tinghe was clearly holding chicken feathers as an arrow.

He applied for a grant from Sinong Temple, but Yang Tinghe directly rejected him, and even found a high-sounding reason, which caused him to waste all his efforts, and he couldn't get anything!

Yang Tinghe stood up at this time and tried his best to argue:

"Although Weichen is younger, he has served in Taichang Temple for many years, knows the suffering of the people, and knows that the people are noble and light. Although the treasury is empty, the people are even more miserable, and it is time to strengthen the rule of officials and reduce taxes! ”

"The construction of this imperial mausoleum, as soon as it starts, it will cost the people and money, and it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, how can you easily use the current treasury money?"

Li Yunxing glanced at him lightly, and after turning a few more pages of the dossier, he said slowly: "Yang Shaoqing is right. ”

On this dossier, Ma Yuncong is 300,000 taels of silver in one mouth, which is only the silver money for building the foundation, and the rest is repairing, laying bricks, building houses, and recruiting craftsmen...... In short, the costs are sky-high!

"Now that the treasury is empty, the construction of the imperial mausoleum will be put on hold for the time being." Li Yunxing said lightly.

Ma Yuncong was shocked, and couldn't help but raise his voice: "Your Highness! This is a major social event, and it must not be a child's play! ”

Yang Tinghe on the side was the most unaccustomed to this kind of cozy person.

What is the Imperial Tomb used for? It's just a tomb where the emperor was buried after his death.

The emperors are all dead, who cares about the society?

Yang Tinghe snorted coldly and said, "According to the minister's opinion, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not seek the welfare of the people of Liming, he should not lose a big thing because of a small one. ”

"Since His Royal Highness is the prince, he should take care of the lives of the whole world, and don't cut off the livelihood of the people of the Wu Dynasty because of some people who make a big fuss!"

Ma Yuncong looked at Yang Tinghe with wide eyes, full of shock, he didn't expect him to dare to be so presumptuous!

"Yang Tinghe, you are just a county guard, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince, you would be the Shaoqing of this Sinong Temple. Today, you dare to speak wildly to His Royal Highness the Prince, don't you think that if your wings are stiff, you can not take the prince in your eyes?! Ma Yuncong said sharply.

"Why is Lord Ma so excited, what the official said has not been exceeded, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made his own decision wisely, so Lord Ma doesn't have to worry about it." Yang Tinghe was not frightened at all, but stared at Ma Yuncong coldly and said.

When Li Yunxing heard this, his face was as gloomy as ink, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he was obviously angry.

This Yang Tinghe is really bold!

dared to use the virtue of the prince to secretly blackmail himself, Li Yunxing valued him, but it didn't mean that he would condone him!

"Yang Tinghe, if you commit the following crimes, you deserve death!" Li Yunxing slapped the armrest fiercely and scolded coldly.

Yang Tinghe was startled and hurriedly knelt down.

"Your Majesty is afraid, please let Your Highness know it."

Yang Tinghe knelt on the ground, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his heart was pounding.

He originally had the intention of gambling.

Ma Yuncong of this Taichang Temple relied on his deep roots in the capital and always looked down on the new county guard, so he wanted to beat him up with the matter of the imperial tomb.

However, it was indeed his impulse to speak.

Wouldn't it be a great rebellion for him to threaten the prince with the power of the monarch like this!

Seeing that the two of them had a horizontal posture, Ma Yuncong was cautious on his face, and actually prepared to pour some more oil, so that the fire of discord burned as vigorously as possible!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Yang Tinghe was still talking about you behind your back before, you are still young, reckless, and lack courage." Ma Yuncong took the opportunity to instigate.

"Oh?" Li Yunxing sneered, "Is there such a thing? ”
