for many years, and even if he trains some people, he is still in the minority. It is impossible to have a large scale. If one dies, there will be one less, and he will be willing to act rashly. ""so...Chapter 11 Prince to filial piety

when he finished, Li Chen looked at Xu Changqing and said faintly, "now that the Ministry of Household lacks a Shang Shu, I have put it in front of you. If it is done, you will be the next Shang Shu. If you can't do these things well, I will replace him. Do you know what I mean"

Xu Changqing was so excited that he got down on his knees and shouted, "Minister, I would like to beat my heart to the ground for your Highness!"

since ancient times, the interests have been moving, not to mention the position of leading a Shang Shu, and the household department is in charge of the world's money and grain. That power is much more and much more powerful than most people think.

after Xu Changqing was sent away, the three treasures came before Li Chen could have a sip of tea.

"your Highness, the East Factory has received news that the fresh Korean mission, which came to the capital a month ago, is wantonly operating at the offices of major officials in the capital, hoping to promote the Empire to send troops to Japan to solve their crisis of being invaded by Japan."

the performance of Sanbao made Li Chen frown slightly.

at this juncture, the situation in the capital is already complicated, with all kinds of forces mixed together, leading one to mobilize the whole body, but then a fresh North Korean mission to muddy the waters.

"how long have they been in the capital" Li Chen asked.

Sanbao replied, "it has been more than half a month. The reason is that six months ago, Japan attacked Shang Chao, which was in the midst of civil strife, and suddenly caught Japan by surprise. Now that 1/3 of its territory has been lost, it sent a mission to the Empire to ask for help, but the emperor's dragon was not safe and did not summon them."

"I think it is because they are in a hurry to wait, and there is war in North Korea again, so they wantonly look for officials in the court and try to achieve their goals through bribes."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "well, I'm about to cut off a few heads, so I can not only gain power but also enrich the national treasury. I'm worried that I can't find the opportunity and reason. You send spies from the east factory to keep an eye on the mission, who they went to see, how much money they sent, and write down everything one by one. After fermenting for a period of time, I saved enough heads, and I cut them at once."

Sanbao respectfully replied, "the maidservant obeys the order."

sent the three treasures away, and Li Chenqi drove to Palace of Heavenly Purity.

the emperor of Daxing still lay in a lethargy on the dragon couch.

"how is the health of my father" Li Chen asked the doctor.

the doctor sighed and said, "your Majesty's health is getting worse every day. Some time ago, he was still awake for a quarter of an hour. Now he may not be able to wake up once in two or three days."

"how much longer can you hold on" Li Chen asked directly.

the doctor immediately knelt down and said, "under the Prince's Palace, the micro minister is really unable to give you an answer." at this point, medical skill is the second most important thing, mainly depending on the willpower of the emperor and. God bless you. "

"all right, I see. Let's go down."

Li Chen was not too harsh and too medical. After letting the doctors back off, Li Chen sat by the dragon's couch.

looking at the haggard-faced Daxing emperor, Li Chen said nothing.

he came through the country and had no affection for Emperor Dahang. Even in a way, Emperor Daxing could not ascend the throne until he died. But now, instead of thinking about the illness of Emperor Daxing, he was thinking about how to deal with the profiteers who stole the country with money at night.

these profiteers, taking advantage of the decline of the national strength of the empire, colluded with local officials, forcibly annexed land, and then used profits to attract those officials to their chariots, forming a strong and complex network of interests all the year round.

Li Chen wants to touch them, it is not so simple, even a poor operation, will immediately attract the court to eat back, but then the loss outweighs the gain.

but if we do not move and the treasury has no money, we will not be able to provide disaster relief, and if we indulge them at will, the life of the people will only be more difficult.

at that time, it will be like going through a certain dynasty before, the people are poor, the court is even poorer, but the corrupt officials and businessmen are fat and fat one by one.

(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []) .ush ({});

this is absolutely not allowed to happen by Li Chen.

Li Chen's reflection on this scene, in the eyes of others, all thought that the crown prince was worried about the emperor's body.

"Doctor Chen, his Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really filial."

A doctor whispered to his colleague.

Chen Taiyi was the doctor who answered Li Chen's question before. He sighed and said, "who says no, the imperial family is the most ruthless since ancient times, but I think the dignity and worry of the prince at this time is not disguised. The emperor has many heirs, but in the end, the only one who really cares about the body of the emperor is the prince." The companions next to

nodded one after another, thinking that they had peeped into the secret of the prince's heart.

when Li Chen was thinking in Palace of Heavenly Purity, he was also not calm outside the palace.

the death of Mount Renault caused waves like throwing a stone into the situation in the capital, which was treacherous but at least seemed calm.

the storm brought by this stone instantly affected all parties in the capital.

Zhao Xuanji was the first to receive the news.

"Lord Shoufu, after Renoshan was cut off by the prince, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household immediately went to the East Palace. According to the news from our eyes, Xu Changqing and the prince talked for nearly half an hour before they came out, but we still don't know exactly what they talked about."

the person who reported to Zhao Xuanji was Qianhan, the general minister of the capital, and the official title of real power. When he arrived at the local level, he was an official in charge of a place, but in front of Zhao Xuanji, Qian Han had a very low posture and bowed his head to make a report.

Zhao Xuanji picked up the teacup and gently shook his head, blew away the tea leaves floating on the tea soup, and said, "kill Wei Xian first, and then cut Reno Mountain. One is a writing eunuch who has been deeply ingrained in the inner palace for more than a decade and is vaguely able to compete with the three treasures." the other is the Ministry of Household Shangshu, leading the first, when the Chaozheng second grade, our prince, the means are very bloody. "

Qian Han hesitated for a moment and said, "Renault Mountain is not only dead, but now the people in the East Factory are copying their families. All his families are enslaved, men are banished into the army, and women are filled with official skills. This is tantamount to destroying the door. Many people on our side are a little worried by such means of thunder. First of all, my lord, should we submit a letter to the court to ask the prince to restrain himself"

"Convergence"

Zhao Xuanji shook his head and said, "he can't rein at this time."

"the crown prince has just imprisoned the country, and it is a time of high spirits. Anyone who wants to stop him will do whatever it takes to remove the stumbling block. It is not rational to be right with him at this time."

Qian Han said respectfully, "how can he confront Manchu civil and military forces when he is humble and stupid, and the prince is still in prison and has not ascended the throne" Even the emperor sometimes has to compromise with the first assistant. "

Zhao Xuanji put down the teacup and said, "the compromise between the emperor and me is only a political game, a concession and trade-off that we have to make in order to take into account the overall situation, but the prince is different. The prince supervises the country and has a fierce temper. He is now in power. Who can listen"

"what's more, he has not yet ascended the throne, which is his weakness as well as his advantage. when things get out of control, he can push the emperor out, but he doesn't have to bear a lot of responsibilities. once he ascends the throne, he will have no backing behind him, and he can only stand in the front on his own head, but it is not beautiful."

Qian Han asked inexplicably, "then how do we deal with it"

"do nothing and wait and see what happens."

"if he wants to kill a minister, as long as he is not our core, let him kill him. If he wants to play a chapter, he will show him whether it is of little significance to govern a country, that is, he has given the order, the prince cannot order the capital, and it is just a joke that there is no one to execute it."ng a series of effects.how will the cabinet reacthow will Zhao Xuanji, an old fox, shootthere are a lot of questions in mind, and before Li Chen can figure it out, someone will ask to see him."your Hi...
