The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

East Palace.

Prince's study.

Gu Chengfeng, Lu Yusheng and Zhou Mingde reported the "criminal silver" to the Ming prince in no uncertain terms.

"What does His Highness the Crown Prince think of this method?" Zhou Mingde seemed a little excited. Although he was asking for the Crown Prince's opinion, he had already made up his mind to report the "criminal silver" strategy to the Emperor tomorrow morning.

The prince was silent, thinking for a while, and then asked Gu Chengfeng and Lu Yusheng.

"What do you two adults think?"

The two of them had already thought about this idea on the way here.

Gu Chengfeng saluted the prince.

"Your Highness, I believe that deliberation is the fastest way to resolve the current predicament."

"It's the fastest..." The prince paused before saying, "That means it's not the best, but it's something we can't refuse."

"It's just that this kind of approach that only cares about the present and ignores the future will definitely lay hidden dangers for me, Helian. How will we deal with it then?"

For a moment, the study was silent.

how to respond?they do not know.

The current situation does not allow them to hesitate too much.

Zhou Mingde clenched his fists.

He knew the disadvantages of "criminal silver", but he couldn't refuse it.

"Does His Highness disapprove of the discussion of crime?" His voice trembled involuntarily when he spoke.

The prince shook his head.

"One hundred thousand soldiers on the border are starving and freezing, and Master Zhou's son is also suffering in prison. Even though this method has many disadvantages, I can't think of a reason to reject it."

"Tomorrow morning..."

Before the prince could finish his words, a figure suddenly appeared on the study window. The prince immediately silenced himself and narrowed his eyes.

Lu Yusheng and Zhou Mingde had their backs to the window and didn't know what was going on, but from the change in the prince's expression, they also sensed something unusual.

A sneer appeared on Gu Chengfeng's lips.

It seems that today there is still a spy eavesdropping on the corner.

Yesterday he came to the East Palace to discuss winter clothes with the prince, and Xiao Zuo showed up once.

What he said throughout the whole process revolved around fox fur, cowhide and sheepskin, but what he really wanted to say was to communicate with the prince through writing.

Before leaving, the prince threw the paper full of writing and the down-padded clothes into the charcoal basin and burned them completely.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zuo appeared again today.

Gu Chengfeng wheeled his wheelchair and came to the desk, picked up the brush and wrote three big characters on the paper.

Lu Yusheng and Zhou Mingde immediately understood and walked over to take a look, their eyes widened immediately.

【Exquisite work! 】

The two asked the prince with their eyes, and the prince also picked up the brush and wrote names one after another on the rice paper.

【The eldest prince! 】

【Second Prince! 】

【Concubine Wen! 】

"..." The three of them were very surprised.

In other words, the Prince's East Palace had more than one faction's eyes on him.

The details outside the window may be from the eldest prince, or they may be sent by the second prince or Concubine Wen.

There is also a possibility that they just discovered this little piece of work, and there might be something undiscovered in the dark, spying on them.

There was a cold light in Zhou Mingde's eyes.

He finally thought of a way to save his son, and he didn't allow anyone to destroy it.

He gestured to the prince to wipe his neck. As long as the prince nodded, he would go out and kill Xisaku without hesitation.

The prince used his eyes to signal him not to act rashly.

If he wanted to kill him, he would have killed him long ago and would never have stayed until now.

Killing Xizuo is never a good idea, it will only serve to frighten the enemy.

If the spy is dead, he can still be installed again. By then, he won't even know who Seisaku is, which will only make him more dangerous.

Might as well keep them for his use.

He is neither his descendant nor his elder, and is in a difficult situation. Since he is in a weak position, he might as well shrink his head and show himself as a weakling.

As the saying goes, shoot out the leader and kill the leader in the local area.

Rather than letting him come forward to propose the "criminal money" to his father and arouse the suspicion of the eldest prince and the second prince, it is better to use their hands to achieve the effect he wants.

In this way, his goal was achieved without making enemies or plotting against him.

Thinking of this, Helianjue took up his pen and wrote down the three words "Yin Yin", and then pointed in the direction of the window.

The people present were all human beings, and they quickly realized the prince's intentions.

Zhou Mingde hesitated for a moment.

He was worried that the eldest prince and others would destroy the "criminal silver" system, but he soon realized that if the eldest prince and the second prince learned about this method, they would not obstruct it to a large extent. Instead, they would rush to claim credit in front of the emperor.

They are eager to help the emperor solve his problems in order to gain the emperor's approval. In this way, they will be one step closer to the throne.

The four people exchanged glances and were all ready.

The prince spoke first. His voice lost its elegance and poise before. It sounded submissive, like a soft persimmon who could be manipulated.

"No, no. If you commit a crime, you will go to jail. How can you use money to pay for the crime? Tomorrow morning, the three adults must not mention the crime settlement money to the father. The father is wise and powerful and will never agree to such absurdity. It’s a plan.”

Xizuo outside the window was moved in his heart.

Discuss crime?What's this?

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

In order to let him hear clearly, Zhou Mingde almost shouted, and his impatience and anger could be heard just from his voice.

"My son will be beheaded in three days. Does His Highness the Crown Prince want to watch Wei Chen's son die unjustly?"

"As long as the emperor agrees to the criminal silver system, even if the minister is bankrupt, he will not hesitate to redeem Zi Yan from death row."

"The silver can not only rescue the son of the minister, but also fill the emptiness of the national treasury. With the silver, it is no longer a problem to solve the problem of winter clothes for the border soldiers..."

The more Xizuo listened, the more frightened he became. He kept reciting the words "criminal silver" silently in his mind, for fear that he would forget it.

If the strategy of "criminal silver" is conveyed to the master and the master presents it to His Majesty, I believe that His Majesty will reward the master heavily. If the master is rewarded, he will be more and more important to the master.

When the master ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will be the hero.

Sezuo suppressed his excitement and continued to listen in silence.

"What Mr. Zhou said makes some sense, but the implementation of the Criminal Law will make our Helian legal system useless. We can't just look at the present and ignore the future. Don't you think so, Mr. Gu and Mr. Lu?"

"Your Highness, I feel that if you can't even get through the current difficulties, how can you talk about the future?"

"The current situation requires no delay, and I also believe that deliberation is the fastest way to achieve results."

"You...why do you only care about immediate interests?" The prince seemed to be angry, and he was a little awkward when speaking. In the end, the three of them couldn't argue, so he could only say angrily:

"I will not agree to this."

"Haha." Zhou Mingde sneered: "For the sake of Wei Chen's son, even if His Highness the Crown Prince disagrees, Wei Chen will come to court tomorrow morning to remonstrate."

Gu Chengfeng then said: "The reason why I came here to discuss with His Highness the Crown Prince is because we never participate in party politics, and you, Crown Prince, are the future crown prince. With your support, we will meet in front of the Emperor." More convincing, it seems that we were wrong, His Highness the Crown Prince’s behavior is too rigid.”

At best it sounds like "strictness", but at worst it means that you don't know how to be flexible and act too rigidly and conservatively. Such people are unlikely to achieve great success.

Xizuo glanced at his mouth and thought to himself: A wimp, if he wasn't raised in the name of the empress, would such a person be worthy of being a prince?Not even worthy to carry his master's shoes.
