How could the prince calm down easily after learning these things from these clans? As for the other cries of several clan members, the prince didn't listen at all. In his mind, the reason why the emperor did not summon himself today, but instead summoned the one who accompanied him in his eyes, was always circling.
You know, every time a clan member came to Beijing, the prince was responsible for receiving them. This time the emperor went out of his way and summoned a prince in Beijing to accompany him. This was the first time since he was appointed crown prince. It could even be said that it was unimaginable before. You must know that in the past, even if there were other princes around, the prince would always be present together.
There has never been a time when only the prince was summoned to accompany him, but the prince was not present. But today, he did not summon himself. Instead, he only summoned a prince to serve as an attendant. This made the prince obviously feel a certain sense of crisis. If it had been anyone else, the prince might have swallowed his breath at this moment.
The emperor happened to summon the bastard in his eyes. How could the prince swallow his breath? And now the emperor frequently goes to listen to Xuexuan's affairs, which is not a secret at all to the prince. In addition to what happened recently, the emperor actually went to the then Hejian County Prince's Palace alone, the current Yingwang Palace, and Zhang Qian's demotion.
The prince now felt more and more that Huang Qiong, a bitch in his mind, would be better for him the sooner he got rid of him. Otherwise, during the holidays, his threat to him would be even greater than that of his brothers. Although this person does not have much influence in the court, his ability to turn things upside down is definitely extraordinary.
His methods are so changeable that he is almost unable to resist them. I am already a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, and I absolutely cannot have such an opponent again. Otherwise, he will only become more passive in this battle. If you let this person continue to develop, I am afraid that you will really become a tiger.
"Damn it, what method did this bitch have to make his father look at him so differently in such a short period of time? What method did he use to trick his father into making exceptions for him again and again? Could it be that he had something? Isn't it possible to use magic to deceive people's hearts?" Thinking of this, the prince almost cursed.
Looking at the gloomy prince, the Prince of Linfen County, who called Huang Qiong Huaiyang Yue in Wende Hall, opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, are we just going to let that Huaiyang Yue do this?" Bullied to the head? We really can't swallow this breath, you have to make the decision for us."
Seeing the Prince of Linfen County speak first, the Prince of Fufeng County on the side also took the opportunity to add insult to injury. But this guy is obviously smarter than the Linfen County Prince who was too drunk and looked a little chubby. He did not continue to dwell on how much he had lost this time, but instead pointed the topic directly at what was probably the most painful part of the prince's life.
These clans are not generally clear about the Huaiyang Rebellion. Because most of them, if there had not been the Huaiyang Rebellion, they would not be qualified to inherit the title of their predecessors as either the eldest son or the concubine. They were able to obtain their current title thanks to Huang Qiong's grandfather.
This is how the title of Prince Fufeng was obtained. Therefore, he naturally knew very well that the prince's pain was greatest: "Your Highness, there is something wrong with this matter today. Even if the emperor has any intentions, according to the ancestral system, it should be you, the prince, who enter the capital from outside the vassal system. Today Why did Your Majesty summon that King of England to accompany you?"
"Furthermore, according to the ancestral system, the prince is not allowed to participate in political affairs unless he is the prince. Although today's matter can be regarded as a family matter of our heavenly family, but it involves the relief of the victims of the Second Road, it is not a bad thing to be regarded as a state matter. The emperor has summoned the King of England to participate in this matter. The real intention needs to be carefully considered. I heard that the emperor went to the Prince of England's residence incognito a few days ago."
"We are all your supporters. Who in the court doesn't know this? The emperor is so indulgent today, and that bastard born of evil in Huaiyang treats us so lightly, and even insults us. After all, is it safe? What's on your mind? Is it just for the money and food? Judging from the ministers and others, I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case."
This Prince of Fufeng County is obviously much smarter than the Prince of Linfen County. He could find the right key points and know where the prince's most taboo places were. The effect of Prince Fufeng's sword was obviously much better than that of Prince Linfen. After hearing what he said, the prince's face became obviously darker.
Seeing the change in the prince's face, the Prince of Fufeng County smiled slightly and continued: "Originally, no matter what decision the emperor makes, we ministers have no right to interfere. But the emperor chose to find the King of England, This is something we, the clan, cannot accept.”
"Back then, his grandfather killed our clan and almost destroyed the country. Now the emperor has put so much emphasis on the remnants of Huaiyang, which really makes me feel cold. What's more, we are supporters of the prince, which is very rare in the court. Everyone knows this. But this King of England has no mercy at all."
"I think that on the surface he is raising money and food for disaster relief for the court, but in fact he is here to target the Crown Prince. Your Highness, this King of England is targeting you like this, and I'm afraid he has very serious intentions. This person, His Royal Highness, is here. You must be on guard. I hope that His Highness the Prince can take precautions as soon as possible to avoid being taken advantage of by villains."
At this point, the Fufeng County Prince paused for a moment before continuing: "If the prince is willing to take action to get rid of this beast, it will not only eliminate a serious problem for the prince, but also avenge those members of the clan who died in vain under the butcher's knife. . The clans in the world will definitely support His Highness the Crown Prince even more."
"With the support of the clans all over the world, even the emperor will have scruples. No one can shake the crown prince's position as crown prince. Ministers, please consider the gains and losses carefully, and don't regret it too late. If If His Highness the Crown Prince needs help, I am willing to contribute 50,000 guan each."
Although the words of Prince Fufeng greatly stimulated the prince. But after all, as a prince for many years, the city is still quite sufficient. How could you not see that what these clan members were thinking was just to avenge themselves? Although the words of the Prince of Fufeng County hurt the prince's waist, the prince was not a fool.
I will definitely collect the money from these people. Having gone to Jing Zhaoyin as a source of wealth, the prince is now very strapped for money. But there is no need to let these people know what you want to do and how to do it. These people give themselves large sums of money and gifts every year, just to seek their own asylum.
If something really comes to light for them, maybe if the front foot knows about it, the back foot will go to their father and sell themselves out. If he didn't have this sense of propriety, he, the prince, would have stepped down long ago. So even though he had a plan in mind, the prince still kept his words in front of these people.
Regarding these clans, the prince only said that he would consider them carefully. Let them hand over the food and money first, and I will definitely give them an explanation in the future. As for what the explanation was, the prince didn't say anything. Several clan members understood the idea, and since the prince agreed, he didn't say anything more.
After several clan members received this promise from the prince, they thought they had done enough to sow discord, and they were all smiling when they left. The only one who saw everything in the East Palace, but the Yuancheng County Prince who had been silent all this time, just shook his head and said nothing after leaving the East Palace. It was obvious that he didn't really want to get involved in this matter.
After leaving the East Palace, Prince Yuancheng seemed to have a premonition of something. After receiving the five gold medals forced upon him by the emperor and paying the promised silver, he hurriedly left the capital. Before leaving Beijing, he didn't even say farewell to the prince. He was also the first among all the clan members in the Wende Palace that day to complete the payment and pledge to donate money and food.
As for the rest of the clan, they were not as anxious as he was. Because they hadn't been to the capital for a long time, instead of handing over the money and food they promised to donate, they started to live and drink like crazy. Especially the Prince of Linfen County, who didn't even live in his Prince's Courtyard. Since arriving in the capital, he has been lingering in the brothel Chuguan.
Despite the fact that this man had nothing to lose in front of the emperor, he was unprecedentedly generous at this time. He threw a lot of money into those brothels. He even got into a fight with several nobles in the brothel because of jealousy. Because his body was basically drained by alcohol and sex, he was no match for him and was almost beaten into a national treasure a thousand years later.
In the end, the emperor couldn't stand it anymore and ordered him to pay the promised money and food immediately and return to his fief as quickly as possible. It's just that although this guy was kicked out by the emperor, before leaving, he gave the top names of several brothels in the capital, redeemed his body and took him back to his fief. When I came, I was alone, and when I left, I brought a large group of Yingying Cuicui.
As for the other few, their performance was not that good. They all spent the whole day leaning against the red and green trees, living in a state of intoxication and drunkenness. On the contrary, they promised to donate money and food, but one by one they just put off doing it. The Daxing County Duke, when the emperor sent people to urge him, no one was found at all in his magnificent villa in the capital.
Even his subordinates in the county government didn't know where his master had gone. In the end, it was the Jinwu Guards who were responsible for the security and inspection of the capital, and they struggled for nearly a long time. Only with the help of a personal servant of the county government who was familiar with his tastes, the old man was dragged out of a private prostitute's bed with a half-open door outside the city.
According to the person who found this man, he described the taste of this county man as extremely special. He was already in his forties, and the person he was looking for to spend the night with the door half-open was older than the half-old lady. You can only be older than him, never younger than him. As for the appearance of the private prostitute who was chosen by the prince, everyone who saw it shook their heads like a rattle.
We can only unanimously comment that this Duke's taste is not ordinary. There is also the Prince of Fufeng County, whose performance is a little better than these two. I have never seen him go to the brothel and Chu Palace. Anyway, what others can see is that the steward of his prince's palace spent a full 20,000 yuan to buy a few Persian and Dashi maikos for him and carried them into his prince's villa.
I received reports on the performance of these clans, especially the Prince of Linfen County and the Duke of Daxing County in the capital. Huang Qiong could only shake his head and smile bitterly. This is the pillar of the country with good conduct in the emperor's mouth. Is this the foundation of returning virtue to the country? I'm afraid these people are not even qualified to carry shoes.
These people themselves spent a lot of money, and the court asked them to spend a little money and food to help the court relieve the victims, but they complained endlessly. Sending a lot of money to brothels and houses, letting them earn less is like killing them. What he did these past few days has even become a joke in the capital.
