Unparalleled Concubine

The tall King Zhao took a long breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it, you still have the ability to supervise the country and govern the country. After you supervise the country for a few months, there will be complaints from the government and the opposition. When the time comes, the ministers of the three provinces will They must write a letter to abolish you!"

"And let you be proud for a few days!"

After saying this, the third prince was even more angry, and cut off the poor wooden man's left arm with another knife.

In comparison, His Royal Highness King Qi's grievances were much heavier. After he came back from the palace, he had beaten several maidservants who served him.

At this time, the Fourth Prince was sitting in the main hall of Prince Qi's Mansion, with four or five staff members sitting around him.

"Your Highness, I think that if His Majesty makes the eldest prince the crown prince, it may not mean that the eldest prince will succeed to the throne. Maybe after a while, the eldest prince will make a mess of the court. As long as someone writes a letter to join him, the prince will The reputation will not be preserved."

Someone echoed: "Brother Xiao is right. This is the establishment of the crown prince, not the enthronement. Your Highness still has a great chance, so don't be too depressed."

His Royal Highness Qi Wang originally had his eyes closed, but upon hearing the words, he opened them viciously, gritted his teeth and said, "I am not depressed, but just resentful in my heart, why didn't this crown prince fall on my head!"

His Royal Highness King Qi snorted, and said angrily: "Pass this king's order and send letters to all the yamen of the imperial court, so that they can mess up the court situation as much as possible. Boss has not been out for more than ten years, so how can he know how to supervise the administration of the country? In just one month, the court will be completely messed up by him!"

"At that time, let the people from Yushitai go to join him!"

Among the four princes, this one is the most powerful in the court. There are four princes in every yamen in the capital. It is very easy for him to intentionally disrupt the court situation.

The staff member surnamed Xiao lowered his head slightly after hearing the words: "I will inform you right now."

The other three staff members also stood up, bowed their heads and said, "My lord, let's help Brother Xiao too."

"Go."

His Royal Highness King Qi waved his hand, closed his eyes and sat on his chair, feeling ruthless in his heart.

"The prince can be deposed, or he can die!"

"Just because of you, you also want to be the prince!"

..............................

In Wei Wang's mansion, Li Xin took His Highness Wei Wang's sleeve and sat in the backyard.

His Royal Highness King Wei's face was ugly, obviously he was in a bad mood.

After Li Xin pulled him to sit down, he also sat down on the opposite stone bench, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, you are too impatient."

The Seventh Prince snorted: "Father and Emperor have appointed the elder brother as the crown prince, and the position of the crown prince has been settled, how can I not be in a hurry?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "In my opinion, the crown prince has not been settled yet."

For nearly a year, Li Xin had studied the official system of the Jin Dynasty, and he was familiar with the various positions in the court. He said, "Your Highness, what kind of officials are there in the Eastern Palace Office?"

The Seventh Prince shook his head and said: "The East Palace is Zhan Shi, and officials like attendants are irrelevant."

Li Xin chuckled: "What about the third young master?"

The so-called three young masters are the prince Taifu, the prince Taishi, and the prince Taibao.

His Royal Highness the King of Wei looked up at Li Xin, and finally sighed: "Brother Xin should go to understand the court situation. There were still three young masters and three open kingdoms. Later, they all had titles but no jobs. It is just that there are three young masters. , and will not go to the East Palace to work."

Li Xin chuckled: "But the current crown prince, without the assistance of the third young master, he would not be able to sit firmly as the crown prince."

The three young masters are all from first-rank positions, and at least second-rank officials are eligible to be granted titles. That is to say, His Royal Highness needs at least three second-rank officials or even first-rank officials to help him stabilize this position. The position of the crown prince.

His Royal Highness King Wei looked up at Li Xin.

"What does Brother Xin mean?"

Li Xin became serious, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, if His Majesty does not send three first-rank officials to assist the East Palace in the next period of time, then the position of the East Palace will still be vacant!"

Chapter 264 The Prince's Whimsy

After the grand ceremony for the canonization of the prince, His Royal Highness King Qin officially entered the East Palace and became the prince of the Chengde Dynasty.

At the same time, Emperor Chengde no longer interfered with the government affairs, lived in Changle Palace, and never saw anyone again. All the government affairs of the court were sent to the East Palace, where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several prime ministers from Shangshutai jointly handled.

In the first few days, because His Royal Highness King Qin had never dealt with government affairs, he was still relatively humble, and the affairs of the court and China were basically decided by a few prime ministers.

If he has always had this attitude, then maybe he really has a chance to secure his position in the Eastern Palace.

After all, if he does not express his opinion, these ministers will not be able to guess his mind, and the political affairs are under the control of these ministers, so it will not be too chaotic.

The ministers all want a bitch emperor.

But after the first few days passed, His Royal Highness began to dictate to the government.

After all, he is not a young crown prince. As the eldest son of the emperor, he is already in his thirties this year. At this age, it is impossible to obey others in everything. Therefore, His Royal Highness, the crown prince, began to use his "wonderful ideas" .

At this time, if he is just a prince, studying at Shangshutai, the ministers can ignore him, but now the emperor of Chengde can't escape, and he has clearly stated that the prince will supervise the administration of the country, so the prince's highness In fact, he is already the real king of the Jin Dynasty, and what he said is equivalent to what the emperor said.

Several ministers had to listen.

First of all, there are letters from all over the country asking for disaster relief, appropriating funds for repairing river embankments, or applying for exemption from taxes in disasters. Because they are asking for money, these memorials are naturally written quite tragically. With a wave, all these are given.

Hubu Shangshu's eyelids trembled, he gritted his teeth, and said nothing.

These are not bad things in the first place, and what should be done should be done naturally, but it is not such a way of doing things.

Take disaster relief as an example. At the very least, the people from Yushitai should send someone to investigate the actual situation before making a decision. Money and food are.

As for the non-urgent matter of exemption, it is even more necessary to send the censor to conduct field inspections before considering exemption.

This is not a question of good intentions. If funds are allocated without paying taxes, after a long time, local people will find this loophole and wantonly report false news and ask for money.

However, no matter what you say about these things, they are still good things. In addition, the Chengde Dynasty has been under the management of the Chengde Emperor for so many years, the treasury is still full, and the Ministry of Households can afford the money.

Moreover, it is understandable for the prince to supervise the country and want to benevolent to the world. These ministers didn't say much, and recognized it with their noses pinched.

However, on the fifth day of the crown prince's reign, the crown prince had a whim and began to look through the unapproved memorials at Yushitai, and he just found another one asking for money.

His Royal Highness took a look and found that the soldiers in the army had suffered heavy casualties, and they wrote a memorial to ask for compensation. In the memorial, it was written that more than 1 people in the army had sacrificed, but only more than 1000 people were paid. Howling, the situation is quite pitiful.

But this memorial has been suppressed by Yushitai for several months, and there is no reply. His Royal Highness was furious after reading it.

"The frontier soldiers serve the country with their lives, how can they delay their pensions?"

So he immediately swiped his pen and approved the memorial.

Obviously, he wanted to win over the army.

After several Zaifu saw it, their eyelids twitched.

This memorial was written by General Li Shen of the Pingnan Army!
