I don't want to be king

His old man was suspicious by nature. After ascending to the throne, although he followed the centralized power system of the previous dynasty where all power was vested in the central government, he made many changes.

The most controversial thing is that all rights belong to the emperor, that is, no matter how big or small, they are all brought together to his father in the end, and when he is really too busy, the imperial scholar of the cabinet will write the decree.

Up to now, although the position of Prime Minister has not been abolished, it is basically the same as an idle position. He can only say a few words during the court meeting occasionally, to understand the sacred meaning and figure out the sacred heart. The emperor will give a memorial to anyone who is unhappy. , Help the emperor to engage him together.

It is indeed sad enough to be a first-class courtier and live himself as a jester.

On the contrary, Ma Jin, a cabinet scholar next to him, has a little more power than the prime minister, because he is the emperor's secretary after all.

Ma Jin saw Lin Yi looking at him, and without waiting for Lin Yi to ask a question, he said directly, "The imperial court has special favors for celebrations, and the prince should add Enke to recruit scholars, select talents and appoint talents, and gather talents from all over the world to use them."

Qin Yang, the imperial censor of the right capital, suddenly stepped forward and said, "The old minister thinks that we should put an end to the troubled times, but instead, let the world be peaceful."

"Amnesty to the world,"

Lin Yi remembered this person. At the beginning, Shanqi was able to go to Sanhe because this old thing took part in his book. He looked at Qin Yang, thought for a while and said, "As long as there is no murder case, let them all be released. If there is a murder case All of them will be sent to the army, and they will be allowed to make meritorious deeds.”

"My lord is a thousand years old!"

The officials kowtowed again and again.

Lin Yi continued, "Who can tell this king whether there is any money in the treasury?"

He is so stupid!

Mo Mo ha ha ha until now, unexpectedly did not get to the point!

"Chen Ganmao sees the prince!"

After a little old man came out, he knelt down again and said, "My lord is a thousand years old!"

"Less nonsense,"

Lin Yi leaned in front of the Minister of the Household Department, then squatted down, and asked with a smile, "To be honest, do we still have money in the library?"

"Go back to the prince, it's less than 10 taels."

"Less than 10 taels?"

After Lin Yi heard this, he gritted his teeth like a thunderbolt and said, "How dare you be so loud for such a small amount of money?"

Gan Mao had a bitter face and didn't know how to reply.

Chapter 329 The Prince

But I was cursing in my heart, isn't I afraid that you won't hear me!

Besides, the treasury has no money, so what does it have to do with him, and it's not his embezzlement!

There have been years of wars and disasters, where is there no need for money?

The most important thing is that you fucking occupy the land of eight states, and [-]% of the world's taxes are in your hands!

The state treasury has always been only out and not in. If you can have money, you will be called a ghost!

However, he didn't dare to say that. If something was wrong, it would become an accusation.

At that time, I will ask the prince back: Is this the king's fault?

How to answer?

The way to be an official is that one thing more is worse than one thing less. It is rare to be confused.

The most important thing is that there is such a shrewd and capable person as He Jixiang next to Wang Ye, and if He Jixiang doesn't understand, He Jixiang will definitely tell.

"How do you live this day?"

Lin Yi sighed, he really wanted to go to Qilin Hall and say to his father: Sorry to bother you.

He finally understood why his father handed over power so easily, without even making the last struggle.

To put it bluntly, the mess in front of me can't be cleaned up no matter what, it's better to let others have a headache.

The more I think about it, the more suspicious I feel.

Could it be that his father's sad appearance is all pretended?

But it doesn't look like it!

Listening to the questioning with the prince on the other side, while sighing, all the ministers were silent, and their heads were even lower.

Once, Emperor Delong also sat on the dragon chair and asked this question, what should I do if the treasury is empty?

Also no one can answer this question.

Not only poor people worry about money, but the emperor also worries about money.

In order to solve the financial problem, various policies were introduced, but not only did they not succeed, but the world became even more chaotic.

"Okay, let's go, everyone returns to their places."

Lin Yi waved helplessly towards the courtier.

Everyone retreated, only Dali Temple Minister Pei Qun stayed.

"Anything else?"

Lin Yi asked curiously.

He is also very familiar with this old man, and he thinks he played a lot in the past.

"Report to your lord!"

Pei Qun lowered his hands and said, "My lord wants to pardon the world, but I don't know this prince..."

Seeing Lin Yi's cold eyes, he suddenly dared not speak.

"Humph,"

Lin Yi said angrily, "I actually forgot about him."

Pei Qun continued to bow his head without speaking.

Lin Yi said, "The prince and his party will be imprisoned first, and the prince's family will be sent to this king's mansion."

Although he was dissatisfied with the prince, he might as well see each other first, thinking that the waste could still be squeezed out.

"Yes!"

Pei Qun said loudly.

After He Jixiang waited for Pei Qun to leave, he hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, the prince has a lot of cliques, so we must not let him go easily."

He was really afraid that this prince had the kindness of a woman.

"It's impossible to let him go,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Bring the old twelve over and meet the prince together."

"Yes."

He Jixiang bowed and stepped back.

Dali Temple is located in the west of the city, and it is one of the most prosperous places in Ankang City. Just because Sanhe officers and soldiers entered the city, people were panicked. The entrance of Dali Temple, which used to be crowded with people, was deserted at this time. Scolding the increasingly vicious sun.

Whether it's cold or hot, those on duty are the hardest.

On the contrary, the prison in Dali Temple was dark and damp, with mosquitoes flying everywhere, and the only light came from a small window in the prison.

Chen Xinluo brought someone in from the outside, covered her nose, and said to the left and right, "Take the person to wash first."

Looking at the ragged, disheveled, and sloppy prisoner inside, he never imagined that this would be His Highness the Crown Prince who was once high-spirited.

"I know you alone."

said the prisoner inside.

"See His Royal Highness."

The prince knew him, Chen Xinluo was not surprised, after all, he used to be the guard of the prince and often accompanied him in and out.

Suddenly there was a cry of a child and a cry of a woman.

"What do you want?"

The prince asked hoarsely.

"To let the crown prince know that the people of Wadan went south and went to the capital with the prince to serve the king, and the sage specially named him and the prince as regents, acting as the emperor's government.

Under the order of Prince He, the prince is invited to enter the Palace of Prince He! "

Chen Xinluo said neither humble nor overbearing, "Please ask the prince and princess, madam, and gentlemen to take a bath and change clothes."

Whether it is the Sanhe officers and soldiers or the police officers, they have all been forcibly indoctrinated with common sense of hygiene. If the crown prince went to meet the prince like this, he would have to be scolded.

The sun is high.

Lin Yi immediately took off his outer shirt, shirtless, and lay on the recliner. He was obviously sleepy, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Hearing the sound of fetters from far to near, he knew that the prince was coming. He raised his eyelids and looked at the prince with a vicissitudes of life, but he didn't dare to recognize him.

"Come here, serve tea,"

Lin Yi sighed, "My brother's lips are cracked, you should drink more water to moisten your throat."

The prince stretched his splayed gait, his hands drooped, and he looked at Lin Yi coldly, without saying a word.

"My brother looked at me like that, and I was a little embarrassed,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Come here, untie the iron cuffs for my brother. They are all members of my family. Can you still harm me?"

Chen Xinluo hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward to remove the iron cuffs on the prince's hands and feet, then winked to the left and right, and stood on the right side of the prince.

The prince is the sixth rank!

And their prince...

Not to mention!

If the prince suddenly raged and attacked with all his strength, their prince would definitely not be able to fight back.

There is no doubt about this.

"Brother, sit down, you're welcome."

Lin Yi stood up.

Chen Xinluo was apprehensive, watching the prince getting closer and closer to the prince.

He could only follow closely.

Suddenly, he saw the blind man coming out from behind the rockery and appearing behind the prince. He was relieved, and he stopped clinging to the prince.

The prince finally sat down, picked up the teacup, lowered his head and drank slowly.

"Brother, it's still a good demeanor,"

Lin Yi applauded, "My brother is very impressed."

The prince raised his head, put down the cup, and said in a still hoarse voice, "Let your nephew go, I will let you kill me alone."

"Brother, what are you thinking?"

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Your brother, I dare not even step on an ant to death since I was a child. Don't worry about any bloodthirsty people. No matter what, they are all children. I will find a place for them to raise them well." Get up, as long as you don't disturb me."

"Thank you."

Prince said.

"You believe me?"

Lin Yi said curiously.

"I believe."

"why?"

"The day Lin Can's body returned to the capital, you were the only one who cried,"

The prince looked at Lin Yi calmly and said, "I still remember Gu."

"Hey, how time flies, it's been 20 years,"

Lin Yi sighed, "Speaking of which, I miss Brother Second Emperor a little bit."

On the day the second prince Pingchuan's body returned to Ankang City, he was indeed the only one who cried.
