Since the second prince did not want blood on his hands, there was nothing they could do no matter how angry the woman playing the piano and the guest in white were.
The woman playing the piano changed the topic and whispered softly: "Your Highness is far-sighted and I admire him. No matter how arrogant Qin Feng is, he is just a commoner after all. As long as he does not become an official, he will never be a threat to Your Highness.
"Not to mention that the war in Beidi cannot burn out, even if it does, the astronomical military expenditures will be enough to bring Qin Feng back to his original form. Didn't he make countless big bets to the saint with great ambitions? Hahaha, get it when the time comes If he doesn’t pay, the saint alone won’t be able to spare him.”
The man in white also saluted quickly and echoed: "His Royal Highness is the Prince of Liang, but he has a mind as big as the sea. He disdains to be exposed to such a small person. I admire him."
The second prince looked at the book of poems and sighed softly: "But Qin Feng does have some talent and learning... The moon of Qin is bright and the moon is close of Han. The people of the long march of thousands of miles have not returned, but the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and they don't teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains... What a poem, what a poem.”
Qin Feng kept walking and quickly left the area of Mingyue Lake. After he was sure that he was out of the control of the second prince, he breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his hand on Qin Xiaofu's clothes a few times, wiping the sweat on his palms.
"Damn it, I'm just a commoner. I spend my whole day either dealing with saints or messing around with princes. God thinks highly of me."
Seeing Qin Feng's face full of fear, Qin Xiaofu couldn't help but wonder: "Master, you have obviously escaped unscathed, why are you so nervous?"
"You know nothing!" Qin Feng rolled his eyes at Qin Xiaofu and said angrily, "If I had a choice, I would not deal with these royal families even if they were killed. Sometimes, it's not that I'm brave, but that I don't have the guts at all. Choose. This second prince is very ambitious. It is best to stay away from him as much as possible in the future and not touch his interests easily."
Qin Xiaofu was confused again: "I don't understand this. Even Zuixianlou and the Longhu Gang have fallen out. Doesn't it count as touching the interests of the second prince?"
Qin Feng was too lazy to explain so much to Qin Xiaofu.
If the money is gone, you can make it again, and if the people are gone, you can cultivate it again.
Not to mention the Zuixian Tower and the Longhu Gang, even if Qin Feng brought down the sugar merchant Jiang family, it would not affect the interests of the second prince.
To put it bluntly, the second prince's eyes are fixed on the reserve position. As long as it does not affect the second prince's fight for the reserve position, he will not become the second prince's mortal enemy.
Business is business, and government affairs are government affairs. One code is the same.
The second prince understood this clearly, and Qin Feng himself certainly understood it.
Of course, the premise of not provoking the other party is that the other party also does not provoke you.
Otherwise, let alone the second prince, even if he is the King of Heaven, Qin Feng will still have to pick off a few of his hairs!
At the same time, the Forbidden Palace of Supreme Harmony had already been filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Cheng Yin, a famous scholar from Jiangbei who is over seventy years old, is standing proudly in the center of the hall, caressing his long beard, but his old voice is extremely powerful, constantly echoing in the hall.
"It is easy to seize the world, but it is difficult to defend the world. The reason why Daliang is prosperous today is because the late emperors worked hard and worked hard to create this prosperous age. The prosperity of the country means the prosperity of the world, and the prosperity of the world means the prosperity of the people. The barbarians of Beidi are holding back the customs. It is outrageous, but an expedition to Beidi is by no means a national policy. Even if we want to send troops to the border to attack Beidi, we must first recharge our batteries and make the country rich and the people strong. By then, if the people and horses are strong, why fear the mere barbarians?"
"Nowadays, there are many difficulties in the world, with natural disasters happening one after another. Floods occur from time to time in the south of the Yangtze River. Locust plagues are frequent in the Guanzhong area. The northwest is thousands of miles away. The people are in dire straits. Although the emperor's kindness is great and he opens warehouses to alleviate poverty, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Officials from all walks of life impose excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. There are countless relief grains that can reach the hands of the victims, and not even one out of ten of them can be saved.”
"If Beidi is allocated, the military expenditure will be more than hundreds of millions of taels. May I ask my lords, how much is the annual tax revenue of Daliang? With this money, it is better to use it to solve people's livelihood and appease the people. When the people are prosperous, the country will be prosperous."
The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was silent, with only Cheng Yin's impassioned voice echoing.
Emperor Liang smiled and nodded frequently, fully agreeing with Cheng Yin's remarks, but in his heart he wished he could order his men to scratch the old guy alive.
It's a pity that Cheng Yin is a great scholar like the leader of the Liang literati. Even Emperor Liang didn't dare to touch him easily.
Qin Tianhu wanted to refute several times, but held back at the last moment.
Everything Cheng Yin said was on a painful point, but if he just refuted it blindly, it would fall on people's lips. Moreover, he is a warrior, how can he argue with famous scholars.
The officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs smiled and said nothing, just sitting back and reaping the benefits.
The other Confucian scholars present bowed to Emperor Liang one after another and recommended him loudly.
"Mr. Cheng's words make sense. When the people prosper, Daliang will prosper. A war will cost hundreds of millions of taels of silver. Daliang cannot afford to burn it now!"
"Please sage, please give me a clear lesson, attack Beidi severely, and do not rush to promote our country's prestige."
"The king is the boat, and the people are the water. The water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it!"
Emperor Liang smiled all over his face and nodded repeatedly: "I am very relieved that all the Confucian scholars care about Daliang. I have heard the voices of the literati and Confucian scholars in the world. I wonder if there are other voices in this court?"
As he spoke, Emperor Liang turned his attention to Qin Tianhu.
Qin Tianhu's palms were sweating, and he eagerly wanted to refute Cheng Yin and other Confucian scholars, but he really couldn't find a reason to refute. When he was about to give up his old face and go up and roll around, he heard the voice of the young eunuch coming from outside the palace.
"The Saint of Invitation, the young master of the Qin family, Qin Feng has come to see you."
Qin Tianhu's heart skipped a beat, why is this brat here? His rogue and playboy style will make the world's scholars laugh at him, right? ! If he talks too much and makes mistakes, the war in Beidi will be completely over.
However, Emperor Liang's eyes brightened slightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He pretended to be calm and said calmly: "Why is Qin Feng here? Xuan."
The officials of the Ministry of Revenue had already suffered losses from Qin Feng several times. When they heard Qin Feng's name, they couldn't help but feel guilty and looked at each other.
Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Feng stepped into the palace gate. Looking at the civil, military, and Confucian scholars of the dynasty, he couldn't help but grin: "Wow, such a big battle?"
Regardless of his status, Qin Fengcai just walked to Cheng Yin and stood a little ahead of Cheng Yin. Such rude behavior immediately attracted criticism from some Confucian scholars present.
"You're just a fool, you dare to surpass Mr. Cheng, how unreasonable!"
"Huh, you kid with a yellow mouth, you don't know how high the sky is, and you clearly don't take the world's intellectuals seriously."
"Is he Qin Feng? I've heard about this guy's bad deeds a long time ago. When I see him today, he is truly a bad guy!"
Qin Feng took out his ears, what? The wind is so strong that I can't hear it!
Qin Feng ignored the sarcastic scholars around him and bowed to Emperor Liang, saying neither humble nor arrogantly: "Qin Feng, a common man, pays homage to the saint."
Emperor Liang had placed his last hope on Qin Feng. After all, this boy had always been able to speak lotus flowers and be eloquent. He was the best choice to refute the Confucian scholars. He immediately asked in a pretentious manner: "Qin Feng, you Are you also here for the war in Beidi?"
Qin Feng blurted out without even thinking: "No!"
