Chapter 59: Questioning in the study
Zhao Guangyuan's operation made it impossible to get the people who were staring at him.
The emperor was still pondering his series of actions in the library and thinking about the deep meaning, but he heard that he mortgaged the palace again!
This is okay, this is to defeat the ancestral family business! Hastily summoned him into the palace.
In the imperial study, a group of brothers from King Yue came, all of whom were summoned by the emperor. Whether the princes and princes looked lively or concerned on their faces, they all came, and crowded a room.
"Seventh brother, if you are short of money, you can tell the fourth brother, let's get together, and you can still fall to the point of mortgaging the palace?"
The king of Chu was obviously concerned, but he actually wished that he would be reprimanded by the emperor, and he had a playful expression on his face.
The mansions given to the princes are not the princes' own, they are the court of the Great Qi. It's yours today, and maybe you'll take it back tomorrow, give it to you to live in, and you can take it as a mortgage!
See if your father doesn't reprimand you. It's better to send you to guard the Imperial Mausoleum again. The King of Chu couldn't help but slander.
The prince also agreed, "Yes, seventh brother, what difficulties do you have, tell Gu, can Gu still help you?" It can't fall to the point of mortgaging the palace. ”
King Jin saw that his seventh brother was so difficult to mortgage the house, so he took out a box of silver tickets on the spot and stuffed it into his seventh brother. The fourteenth and fifteenth princes, who were still minors, also stuffed boxes over.
Zhao Guangyuan glanced at the two young imperial brothers with some surprise. He smiled at them and pushed their boxes, along with King Jin's, back.
Emperor Zhizheng was originally sitting on the dragon throne and watching coldly, and the sons below sneered at him, but he didn't move. Until the king of Yue declined the concern of several brothers.
"King Yue mortgaged the palace and didn't give a reasonable reason, not only because I can't talk about it here, but I'm afraid that the household department and the clan will also come to you for questioning."
Zhao Guangyuan did not answer and asked, "Does my father want to take back his son's palace?" ”
Emperor Zhizheng was stunned, "Why do you ask so much?" ”
Zhao Guangyuan's eyebrows were faint, "It's only been a few years since my son was crowned king, and I haven't lived in this palace for a few days, I think my father won't let me have nowhere to go." ”
"As long as you don't commit the crime of rebellion, no one in your palace will take it back."
Emperor Zhizheng looked at Zhao Guangyuan with inexplicable meaning, and Zhao Guangyuan also raised his eyes to meet his gaze.
The princes and princes in the room were shocked when they heard this.
They are very taboo about such words as rebellion, and they usually have to put aside the same words, but now when they hear their father say this to King Yue, everyone trembles in their hearts. It seems that the father's words are not just said to King Yue, and that gaze seems to sweep everyone.
Everyone lowered their eyes and studied the floor tiles.
This floor tile is fired by a craftsman surnamed He, and that floor tile is fired by a craftsman surnamed Zhou, which is really rare, and I don't know how many craftsmen burned bricks in this imperial study.
Emperor Zhizheng and Zhao Guangyuan's eyes have been fighting for several rounds.
Zhao Guangyuan looked away first, "Since my father doesn't plan to withdraw my title, then the Yue Wangfu is still mine." The father knows the situation of his sons, and now there is only one son in the house, and it is empty and empty, and it is good to exchange him for some money. ”
"You exchange the mortgage of the palace for money, and you are not afraid of the jokes of the ministers! What a system this becomes! This precedent has been set, and everyone will learn from you in the future to exchange money for mortgages! Emperor Zhizheng couldn't help but reprimand.
His son has no money to live, and he uses the mansion as a mortgage to borrow money, so that outsiders can talk about the royal family! What to say about him!
said that he treated the king of Yue unfairly, how can the people of the world criticize him behind his back! How to block this mouth!
The corners of Zhao Guangyuan's mouth sneered, others are not like him who has been degraded to the imperial tomb for ten years, and he will not run out of money to spend. Even if you don't have the money to spend and want to mortgage the house, no one dares to collect it.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Emperor Zhizheng reprimanded: "Now that you have food, there are a lot of your shares in the palace, and you don't need to spend it?" ”
Zhao Guangyuan couldn't help but speak: "What kind of place is Yuezhou, my father won't know it." Besides, the retainers donated grain to the Yanzhou area before, and they have donated ten years of taxes from the food estate, so the father will not forget it. ”
Emperor Zhizheng was stunned for a moment, and he really forgot about this stubble.
The crown prince, King Qin and others were also stunned for a moment before they remembered this incident. The king of Chu grinds his teeth and flowers, it's really ruthless, ten years of taxes! Poor and generous. The people of the court have their own care of the court, and you will be a man! Shh
King Qin also looked at Zhao Guangyuan with a cold gaze. remembered his previous plan, but was robbed by King Yue, so that he was praised by tens of thousands of people, and his heart was also blocked by a fire.
I heard the old seven guy say, "The share of the children in the capital is enough for one person, but the slaves and subordinates of the palace, as well as the daily expenses of the palace, and the entertainment in the capital, the father doesn't think that it is enough to rely on the rules issued by the palace, right?" ”
"Father also gave you Zhuangzi and a shop." Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, the king of Chu couldn't help but speak.
"If the king of Chu thinks that relying on those two or three Zhuangzi shops is enough to chew, then I didn't say it. I heard that the newly opened flower building in the West Market, fourth brother, you also took 20% of the dry shares of other people, I don't know if it is a shortage of silver. ”
"You ......"
The king of Chu glanced at Emperor Zhizheng who was seated with a weak heart, for fear that his father would reprimand him. hurriedly explained: "Father, they insisted on sending it, and they also begged me to give me a shelter, so I ...... it."
He has no money, but who thinks he has a lot of money. Over the years, he and his third brother have been trying to win over people, and they have to make various arrangements, so why not spend money?
The emperor didn't blame him, but he just glanced at him leisurely, and it fell on Zhao Guangyuan's face, "So you borrowed the silver, do you want to do business?" Open a restaurant? ”
"It's not necessarily a restaurant," the restaurant hasn't opened yet, and Zhao Guangyuan doesn't want to reveal it in advance.
"My father knows that my sons are shy in their pockets, so they always have to think about making a living. The father and emperor don't say anything about competing with the people, and as a prince, he still does business by himself. Anyway, Erchen's life is like this, how to live happily and how to live. ”
What is it like in this life, the people in the house know it.
In the house, such as King Wei and King Zhao, there were relatives and sympathized with him. The crown prince and the king of Qin and Chu were happy in their hearts, staring at Lao Qi these days, they almost forgot that he had no queen, and no matter how they were, they couldn't threaten them.
The crown prince couldn't help but say good things for this imperial brother, "Father, the seventh brother has been miserable in the imperial tomb for ten years, and now he has finally returned to Beijing, so follow him." At that time, if the business loses money, Erchen will come back from the middle market. ”
When King Qin saw that the prince was helping to intercede, he couldn't help but help say a few good words.
Emperor Zhizheng was silent, thinking that his wife and two sons had died of heirs, and his heart was slightly sad.
After listening to King Yue's assurance, the prince also said that he would look at him and not let him come nonsense.
"That's it. Only this time, if you come again next time, I will take back the palace. He didn't look at the people in the house, but waved his hand, "Go out." ”
The crown prince led the royal brothers out of the imperial study.
At the door, he warned in the tone of the prince: "Today, my father and the emperor called you, one is to admonish the king of Yue, and the other is to let you take it as a warning, Mo Du learns from the king of Yue, and if such a ridiculous thing is spread again next time, I am afraid that it will not be so careless today." ”
Several young princes all nodded their heads to indicate that they had written it down, and King Qin only arched his hand and turned to leave. The king of Chu has always been unaccustomed to the prince's hypocritical appearance, and he was not convinced by him, so he didn't even give it up, and followed his third brother to turn around and leave.
The rest were also quickly separated.
After everyone left, Emperor Zhizheng took Liu Qi out of the imperial study.
