Feeling strange, Concubine Li finally realized what had happened, and she began to struggle violently.
However, Xiao Yi's strength was too great.
No matter how reluctant she was, she tried to break away from Xiao Yi's arms, but it was all in vain. She was like a caged bird, unable to escape from the cage.
Concubine Li, who was extremely ashamed and angry, opened her mouth and bit down.
However, before Xiao Yi could sense Concubine Li's thoughts, he immediately withdrew and leaned back slightly.
Only then could Concubine Li take a breath.
"Why are you so anxious? This is the imperial garden. Although they are guarding it, we have to be on guard."
"If this really gets to His Majesty's ears, you, the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State, will probably become the first Crown Prince in Daqian to be deposed or even lose his life for molesting a noble concubine."
Concubine Li shyly punched Xiao Yi's chest with her small fist, with a coquettish look on her face as if she wanted to reject him.
She couldn't figure out why Xiao Yi was so brave.
The key is that he used to be a Zangzhuo, but now he finally obtained the power to supervise the country and became the prince of the supervising country, and he also behaved very well around Xiao Di, being quite filial and loyal.
Everything, no matter how big or small, how serious it was, was briefly explained to Xiao Di without any concealment.
This time, even in front of her, he expressed his suspicion that Li Linfu arranged for people to rob food in Taiping Town.
Although Xiao Di didn't say anything, Concubine Li understood that if things go on like this, the more Xiao Yi behaves in line with the qualifications of a prince, the more dangerous Li Linfu will be. His life and death will all depend on your majesty's thoughts.
This is also the reason why Concubine Li wants to meet Xiao Yi and intercede for Li Linfu.
However, Xiao Yi's words suddenly awakened Concubine Li and made her understand that the current situation was that she had to choose between Li Linfu and Xiao Yi.
As for Xiao Yi, he seemed to be very filial to his father, but he also had unreasonable desires for his father's woman.
He looks wise and mighty, but he's also a little bit lewd.
Such a contradictory person made Concubine Li somewhat uneasy about whether she could become powerful by following him, and if he became powerful, would he try to kill the lackeys and cook the cunning rabbits.
Of course, Concubine Li's rank is much higher than that of Li Qiuya. For her, Xiao Yi is a trustworthy person.
Because he is so sexy!
The identities of the two people made each other feel such indescribable excitement.
Xiao Yi let go of Concubine Li.
In his previous life, he would never have dared to touch a woman like Concubine Li. Even if she was very rich, he would not touch her, lest she cause trouble.
But now.
Not only does he have money but he also has power.
Men still have power.
He is the prince of the prison country and the future emperor.
Even if the incident between him and Concubine Li was really spread, it would be nothing. It could be said that this was Li Linfu's slander or a rumor.
As long as he is upright and not afraid of his shadow being distorted, and has the support of the people and his own team, no one will dare to underestimate him.
Li Linfu was considered his enemy, and he wanted to cause trouble for him every day, so it was understandable that he would charge a little interest to Li Linfu's relatives to vent his anger.
Awake to hold the power of the world, drunk to lie on the knees of a beautiful woman.
This is probably what the time traveler wants to do most.
Xiao Yi wanted to say something else, but an announcement came from outside.
"Your Highness, Dai Guang, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is asking for a meeting outside the East Palace. He said that he has something urgent to report to Your Highness."
Xiao Yi let go of the charming Concubine Li, stood up and waved her hand: "Back in the Manlu Palace, you said a word for me. I still remember this kindness."
"Gu is not a white-eyed wolf like Xiao Ce, and he will not do anything like killing a lackey or cooking a cunning rabbit."
“It’s cold at high places.”
"When I stand on a high place one day, I naturally want someone to accompany me to enjoy the magnificent mountains and rivers of Daqian!"
Listen to Xiao Yi's words.
Looking at Xiao Yi's leaving figure, he seemed a bit tall and tall.
Concubine Li felt quite complicated, and finally sighed quietly.
…
As soon as Xiao Yi returned to the East Palace, he saw Dai Guang walking around anxiously.
"Your Highness, I would like to inform you that a few days ago, Your Highness used thunderous means to kill two big profiteers, Xue Baichuan and Jia Haolei, and ransacked their homes to get some money."
"Originally, this money was supposed to be used for disaster relief, but the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, several prefects, and more than a dozen generals of the Guards all took notice of the situation, and they all thought of ways to ask for money."
"The Ministry of Industry said that due to the drought in Longyou Road for many years, it was necessary to build water conservancy channels to divert water and alleviate the drought, so it built several reservoirs and more than a dozen canals. Now it owes a lot of wages and material procurement costs, totaling 5 million. Through."
"The Ministry of War also said that because of the drought in Longyou Road for many years, all the money from the national treasury has been used for disaster relief, and military pay has not been paid for a year. If it is not paid again, I am afraid that the soldiers of the border army will be dissatisfied and may mutiny. When the border passes Instability will endanger the tranquility of Daqian.”
"After the Ministry of War coordinated the plan, it actually submitted a request for the release of military pay of more than 10 million guan."
"Not to mention several local prefects and more than a dozen guards. In particular, Shi Siming, the general of the Longwu Army, personally reported and asked for military pay."
Xiao Yi frowned slightly when he heard this.
This is obviously a conspiracy.
wrong.
It's a conspiracy.
Most of these reports should be true. It is true that the imperial court has not allocated any funds, and there are well-documented records.
They were not afraid. When they heard that he had raided the homes of two profiteers and had some money, they immediately asked for money.
First, you can line your own pockets and make money for yourself.
Secondly, it can also prevent him from continuing to provide disaster relief for Longyou Road and allow Longyou Road to continue to be in chaos.
Seeing that Xiao Yi didn't speak, Dai Guang looked calm and said quickly: "Your Highness, Wei Chen thinks that these people asking for money at this time may be a conspiracy."
"The reason why His Highness killed the profiteers was to solve the drought in Longyou Road. Compared with the court's arrears of the money, the drought in Longyou Road is more important."
"Things have a priority. For example, regarding military pay, the court has actually paid it once."
"The arrears of military pay...may not be that much."
Xiao Yi sneered and said: "Yes, all this money was obtained by Gu. For this reason, he killed two profiteers, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many merchants, and was also said by some people to be an indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Now It’s ridiculous that they grab it as soon as they reach out.”
Dai Guang cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, I think that these memorials asking for money can be investigated first. Some people may take the opportunity to open their mouths and do evil things to make money. They don't really want money."
“As for those matters that really require the release of money to solve, otherwise there will be hidden dangers, part of it should be released to reassure people.”
"The drought in Longyou Road is the top priority. If the drought in Longyou Road is solved, His Highness will definitely win the hearts of the people and the loyalty of all the officials in the court."
Xiao Yi looked at Dai Guang with some surprise. Not only was this man ambitious, but he was also not stupid. He could also see that these people wanted money and had bad intentions.
"Well, then you should secretly investigate some of their truths. If you do well, you will be rewarded for being lonely!"
Dai Guang bowed and said: "Here!"
After Dai Guang left, Xiao Yi called Lu Chong again and said, "You also send someone to check quietly to see how Dai Guang's ability is."
It is indeed convenient for ambitious and capable people to use, but Xiao Yi also needs their virtue and cannot exclude dissidents or wrongfully accuse loyal people for the sake of his own advancement.
