The baby is all there, the princess is still in the routine

When the buddy shouted '50 taels', the onlookers were a little dumbfounded.

It's like someone taking a boatload of gold just to buy a fish.

Half a stick of incense was lit, and the cigarette smoke was long, and time passed as the ashes of the incense fell off.

Everyone looked up at the Tianzi box in unison.

"No, no, the eldest princess can't really do it?"

"How is that possible? That's the eldest princess."

"If the eldest princess admits defeat, the emperor and the prime minister will lose face."

The discussion became louder and louder, and it was unknown who started it. Everyone was shouting in unison, "Princess! Princess! Princess!"

Xiao Anluo in the Tianzi box was frightened for a moment. She was about to give up, but her desire to win was awakened by the deafening cry.

She can't lose in public!Especially not to be defeated by one's sworn enemy!

Xiao Anluo didn't realize that she had been wrapped up in rounds of bidding and the long-awaited calls, and she lost all reason.

"Fifty... 52 taels."

After Xiao Anluo told the price, like a dying fish, she slumped on the seat powerlessly, her eyes fixed on the burning incense stick, lest the people in the moon-shaped box would make another bid.This short time of half a stick of incense is stretched into infinity, and every minute and every second is suffering.

When the incense sticks were burned out and the big gong was struck, Xiao Anluo let out a sigh of relief, her back was covered with sweat, and the golden longevity character armor pinched deep nail marks on her palms.

There was no joy in her heart, but an indescribable resentment and annoyance gradually arose in her heart: If the queen didn't ask for it, she wouldn't have spent such a large sum of money.

Moon box.

Ning Changle said with a smile: "Is the prince satisfied with this play?"

"You won." Xiao Li's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly.

Ning Changle is a lunatic.But he was so excited that he wanted to hug him into his arms and rub him hard.

"My lord, I came to you this time not only to watch a play, but to settle an account with you."

Ning Changle took a sip of tea, and said in a calm manner: "The salaries of the soldiers of the imperial army in the Great Zhou Dynasty were less than three guan a month, and even the common people earned more than them. So in recent years, the imperial army has repeatedly banned those who escaped from military service. This is also one of the reasons why the emperor was willing to add King An's army to the imperial army.

Of course, the Twelve Guards are close ministers of the emperor. According to the practice of quality and yin, [-]% of them are the heirs of officials, such as second-rank and third-rank Zibu Qinwei, third-rank grandsons, and fourth-rank Zibu Xunwei... …

The sons of these high-ranking officials don’t really care about salaries, but the King An’s army you brought is different... Most of them were born in poverty and rely on military salaries to support their families.

Xiao Li's face darkened, his pupils were tightly locked, and he lowered his voice, "What do you want to say?"

"I've seen the account books of the palace. Your treasury looks full, but it's actually full of royal gifts with the holy seal. It's hard to get rid of it.

In fact, there is almost no cash in the palace.You subsidized almost all of your salary and taxes from the fiefdom Yongdiantian to these fifty thousand soldiers.Oh, right.Because of the many disasters last year, you even reduced the tax in the fief for three years, which made the already not rich palace even worse.According to my estimate, in two months, the palace may not even be able to pay the monthly salary of a thousand soldiers. "

"Why do you have the account books of the palace?" Xiao Li's face was as gloomy as a black cloud over the city, with a tyrannical aura about to come.

Ning Changle shrugged innocently: "Xu Bo said, you asked him to give it to me. In order to live up to your great trust, I even specially ordered people to find soldiers for research, go to the fiefdom to investigate, and even went to northern Xinjiang.

Your father and son are really in the same line, and your father and king are also living in extremely difficult times.Northern Xinjiang has been fighting all the year round, there are many soldiers, the people have difficulty in survival, the conditions are harsh, and the imperial court has been in arrears of military pay for many years. Under all kinds of difficulties, King Anding can still maintain the stability of northern Xinjiang, which makes me admire.

I also heard a story widely circulated in the local area. Twelve years ago, King Anding's son played hide-and-seek in the mansion and was almost crushed to death by the dilapidated house.This incident has been passed down as a good story by the local soldiers and civilians..."

Xiao Li felt so ashamed that he was almost crushed to death by the house...

"Ning Changle, what exactly are you trying to say?" Xiao Li pursed his lips tightly, not knowing what Ning Changle was planning.

"Soldiers and horses go ahead without using food and grass. Xiao Li, it's not that you don't have ambitions, but you are limited by money, so you can't do anything."

Ning Changle's tone was relaxed, as if he was not discussing rebellion, but was talking about the weather today.

"And I happen to have silver." Ning Changle said slowly.

"You don't want to talk nonsense." Xiao Liru's throat was choked, it was difficult to breathe, and his veins bulged.

Ning Changle's hidden ambition, which he had never revealed to anyone, was easily revealed by Ning Changle, causing him to have the illusion that he was stripped naked and could play with him at will.

"Then take it as my nonsense." Ning Changle looked at him jokingly, "As the saying goes, if a person has money, he can keep his mind at ease. Your Highness King An, my money is enough for you to fight from northern Xinjiang to the capital, oh, no, it is enough to help you You pay the salary and get through the financial crisis of the royal family.

I help you succeed, and you help me bring down the prime minister.His Royal Highness Wang An did not lose anything in this deal. "

Xiao Liwan didn't expect Ning Changle to be so rich, and it just happened to choke his lifeline.In fact, the prime minister is originally a member of the prince's faction, and he is naturally hostile to him. This deal is far from a loss, it is a huge profit, Bai Rao is a huge fortune, and he has an extremely intelligent wife.

They are also from the Xiao family, and the ones on his head are far worse than himself. What can they do for the throne?Why can't he!

If it weren't for the lack of ambition of the father, who threw away the throne that the first emperor put to his lips for the sake of loyalty and filial piety, he would be the prince now.How could the country of the Xiao family be ruined to such an extent that the people are in dire straits.

Xiao Li was ambitious, thought for a while, and said softly: "We are a family, even if the princess doesn't say anything, my prince is willing to help the princess, isn't he?"

"Xiao Li, you don't seem to understand. We have never been a family. From now on, we are partners."

Ning Changle had a detached sneer on his face, and raised Xiao Li's chin with his middle finger, "I hate the way you pinched my chin. From now on, put away your frivolity and learn how to respect your collaborators."

The temperature of the fingers is as cool as jade, like a spark, burning into Xiao Li's heart.

He raised his head obediently, looking up at Ning Changle.

Ning Changle's eyes were as cold as winter, like a real king examining his subjects.

Xiao Li's heart was pounding and trying to break free from his chest, blood was boiling and burning in his veins, and an unspeakable thirst arose, like a person trapped in the desert discovering a clear spring, and only by obtaining him and possessing him can he calm down this damn restlessness .

Xiao Li is rebellious by nature, the stronger Ning Changle is, the more he will arouse his desire to conquer: he wants Ning Changle.

"Snapped--"

Ning Changle slapped Xiao Li hard.

A basin of cold water fell from the sky and made Xiao Li's heart feel cold.

Xiao Li recovered from his delusions, covered his red and swollen face, his bloodshot eyes were still red with excitement, as if he had just cried: "You hit me again?"

Ning Changle frowned in disgust: "I don't like the look in your eyes just now."

Like a hungry wolf, wanting to devour him alive.
