"Wait!"
Song Huan stretched out his hand with a smile and stopped the indignant Xu Rong.
"Father-in-law is joking!"
"I saw with my own eyes that my father-in-law was selfless and donated this box of stolen money to build the first industrial park in Daliang."
"Such a selfless spirit not only moved me, but I believe His Majesty will also be deeply moved!"
"How can anyone dare to say that my father-in-law accepted bribes and used his power for personal gain?"
Cheng Xun was a little confused by Song Huan's remarks.
"Your Highness, what do you mean..."
Song Huan smiled and said: "Xu Rong colluded with Li Ping'an and tried to bribe his father-in-law with money."
"Fortunately, my father-in-law is upright and upright, and donated all the stolen money."
"Now that Daliang is in a good time for money, this money is a timely help to many workshops and factories!"
"As the main person in charge of this glaze workshop, I would also like to thank my father-in-law for your selfless dedication!"
Song Huan knew that according to Emperor Liang's temper, he would allow him to open a factory, and the budget he would give would be so expensive that it wouldn't even be enough to fit between his teeth.
Since you want to promote the industrial process of Daliang and make profits from it, you will naturally have to invest a lot of money in the early stage.
After all, as the saying goes, if you can’t let go of your children, you can’t trap the wolf!
Although Song Huan is not penniless now, he is empty-handed.
But when it comes to start-up capital, of course the more the merrier!
When he was worried about where the money would come from, Li Pingan handed over such a large box of snowflake-patterned silver.
Isn't this just giving someone a pillow while I'm dozing off, eating dumplings to make someone jealous?
Cheng Xun probably understood Song Huan's intention, and immediately said with a smile: "If these dirty silver can help His Highness, of course it will be a great honor for me!"
"In that case, the dirty silver will be left to His Highness to handle."
"That's natural!" Song Huan stood up, "In that case, let's not disturb my father-in-law."
"I, the king, quickly go to the palace and explain the situation to my father!"
The two chatted for a while, and then Song Huan boarded the carriage entering the palace.
Watching the carriage go away, Cheng Xun felt a lot of emotions for a while.
There were not many princes in the current dynasty. Although the prince was good at both civil and military affairs, his moral character was never top-notch.
Especially with Shangguan Yi always making suggestions behind his back, it developed the prince's character of being less intelligent and more cowardly!
Such a scandal happened last night, which is enough to prove that the prince cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of the crown prince.
If Prince Rong can serve as the crown prince...
Cheng Xun was shocked by his idea!
He had always been loyal to Emperor Liang. Even though he admired Song Huan quite a lot, he had never thought about the East Palace changing hands.
Arguing about the crown prince is actually disloyal!
This was the first time that such a thought came to his mind.
However, the people of Daliang need a wise king.
We need a wise man who not only has real talent but also can guarantee his character!
Can the prince really... be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility?
Cheng Xun expressed deep doubts about this!
…
In the General's Mansion.
Song De was sitting in a corner of the side hall. He didn't drink alcohol today, but he was worried.
What Emperor Liang did last night was like a loud slap on his cheek!
He knew that he had never been his father's favorite son.
But he didn't expect that his father's preference for Song Yu would reach such a blatant level!
Even if Song Yu made such an unforgivable mistake, his father still chose to deal with the aftermath for him.
Song De couldn't understand, what ability did Song Yu have that could make his father so partial?
Is it because of his status as the eldest son?
It's not because he has a mother who is the Queen of the Middle Palace!
Thinking of his mother, Song De felt even more heartbroken.
What did your father mean last night?
Mother, what big mistake did she make?
I couldn’t even attend last night’s dinner party!
Song De was puzzled!
He was extremely depressed, but at this moment, Song De had no interest in drinking to drown his sorrows.
The greatest sorrow in the world is this!
"Your Majesty... Your Highness..."
Li Ping'an's voice sounded outside, seeming hesitant.
Such a bad-tempered and emotionally unstable prince was in the general's residence every day. As his uncle, the general had no scruples.
But as the general's deputy and half-housekeeper of the general, Li Ping'an lived on tenterhooks all day long.
He was afraid that if he did something that was not to Song De's liking, he would be scolded again!
Seeing that Song De was in a very bad mood, Li Ping'an could only test the situation carefully outside.
Song De replied angrily: "If you fart, let it go!"
"Sneaky, what are you doing outside?"
Li Ping'an said with a smile: "Well... Your Highness, it is His Highness the Third Prince who is here to visit you."
When he heard that Song Liang was coming, Song De was instantly furious!
"What is he here for?"
Last time I kindly helped him, but he actually got me into Dali Temple!
He also allowed himself to be caught by Song Huan!
Every time he thought of this matter, Song De felt extremely angry.
Unexpectedly, Song Liang dared to take the initiative to find him, and the anger in Song De's heart was instantly ignited.
"Damn it, no see!"
"Let him go!"
"Don't appear in front of me in the future!"
However, before he finished speaking, Song Liang appeared at the door with a smile on his face.
"Second brother, you are so angry that it will hurt your body!"
"Besides, didn't you tell me, my third brother, to help you find some talented disciples?"
"Now that I'm here with full sincerity and my clientele, my second brother can't refuse me thousands of miles away!"
Song Liang's body has recovered more than half. Although he is still skinny, there is blood on his cheeks and there is sparkle in his eyes.
Hearing that Song Liang had indeed found a disciple for him, the anger on Song De's face was somewhat restrained.
"This time, you did things quite quickly!"
"That's natural!" Song Liang reached out to dismiss Li Ping'an and walked forward with a smile on his face.
"I know that now that my second brother is employing people, he needs a resourceful and thoughtful counselor by his side."
"Third brother, I made a lot of choices, and finally I selected the most knowledgeable and careful counselor."
"Ma Shaoxing, come here!"
As soon as Song Liang finished speaking, a young man with simple clothes and extraordinary bearing walked in.
"Meet the second prince, meet the third prince!"
Song De squinted his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, and saw that he was polite and gentle, and he looked like he had been studying all year round.
Although it was the first time for him to see him, there was no flattery or flattery on his face. Instead, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and was very calm.
They are different from the scholars Song De has seen before who want to get high!
At first glance, Song De had a good impression of Ma Shaoxing.
