The night is still dark.
In the imperial palace, in the royal study.
Emperor Xia looked through the "holy book" he had snatched from the third prince, his eyes constantly changing, as if he had been immersed in it!
The holy way is infinitely attractive, even the Emperor of Daxia cannot be spared!
"Whoosh..."
A man in black appeared strangely, kneeling on one knee in front of the desk. He was one of the peeping eyes in front of the Jixia Underground Palace gate: "Master, there are indeed some uninvited guests in front of the Jixia Underground Palace gate!"
"explain!"
"yes!"
The man in black began to tell in detail!
After listening, Emperor Xia raised his head thoughtfully: "You said the man in black used conch to play?"
"yes!"
"Are there fish scales under the torn clothes of the masked man in black?"
"yes!"
"When they saw the ever-extinguishing oil lamp in front of the door, their eyes turned red, and their murderous anger was suffocating?"
"yes!"
"They said someone came from the sea?"
"yes!"
Emperor Xia pondered for a moment: "Where do these masked men in black come from?"
"Definitely from the sea!"
"Is it related to the lamp oil in the underground palace?"
"Maybe!"
"Can they be tracked now?"
"able!"
"We sprinkled Thousand Miles of Incense on the ground in front of the underground palace. As long as it touches their skin or fish scales, they will not be able to escape the Thousand Miles Gu!"
"Then find this group of people. They may have a lot to do with Jixia Underground Palace!"
"yes!"
"At the same time, find the group of people from overseas. Maybe we can know the news after the Xu family went to sea!"
Emperor Xia's eyes sparkled: "It's been twenty years, and I want to know the truth about the elixir of life!"
"yes!"
"Go!"
"Whoosh..."
The man in black disappeared without a trace, and the candlelight in the study flickered.
now.
Eunuch Wei, who was listening quietly outside the house, had his eyes fixed. He hurried back to the Imperial City and wrote a secret letter to his confidant: "Leave the palace immediately and give this letter to the prince!"
"yes!"
at this time.
the other side.
In the study room of the East Palace.
"I will not return to my fiefdom!"
The third prince shouted with a look of unwillingness: "Brother Prince, after the spring of next year, the Sirius Empire, the Black Man Empire, and the Barbarian Empire will launch a crazy attack on our Great Xia Empire. If we return to the fiefdom now, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
"Brother Wang has thought about it for a long time and feels it is safer to stay with you!"
"So Brother Wang will never leave!"
"You think of a way!"
The second prince also said: "Yes!"
"Prince brother, we no longer compete with you for the throne. We just want to be an idle prince and a holy king in peace, have a lot of children, and live a long life!"
"Besides, we are still cultivating the Holy Way. We can ask for advice at any time by your side. If we leave, we will definitely not be able to obtain the Holy Way!"
"So Brother Wang, I won't leave either!"
"right!"
"Don't leave!"
The fifth prince said with a flattering look on his face: "Brother Prince, if you can prevent us from returning to the fiefdom, we will hand over the power of the court to you!"
"What power?"
While reviewing the memorial, Xia Tian asked questions knowingly!
"Hey hey hey..."
The third prince smiled with a lewd expression on his face: "Brother Prince, to tell you the truth, the Six Ministers are ours!"
"Are you using your time well?"
"real?"
Xia Tian put down his pen, looked at them with a half-smile, and said with deep meaning: "Brothers, the Six Ministers are important ministers of the imperial court, and they are not your people!"
"Whether they are willing or not, they must listen to Gu!"
"Not always!"
The third prince said proudly: "Brother Prince, there is no need to argue about this matter. You will know it once you try it!"
"right!"
The second prince and the fifth prince have everything in mind!
"good!"
Xia Tian looked at Lily's pretty face and said, "Go and invite six adults over!"
"yes!"
Lily walked out of the door charmingly, her waist twisted in a charming way.
Not long after.
An introduction to the six books of ministers.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"No need to be polite!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Xia Xia then said: "Dear ministers, today the imperial court is closed for rest, and I have asked you to accompany me at night to discuss various economic and trade matters in Great Xia. Thank you for your hard work!"
Jiang Shangshu said with a smile: "Your Highness, I have had a wedding banquet during the day, and now I am full of energy. It is a good time to do things in the dead of night when people are quiet and focused!"
"right!"
Six ministers agreed one after another!
"good!"
Xia Tian then asked gently: "Have you ever read the economic and trade policy of Great Xia that I wrote?"
"Already finished reading!"
"Can you agree?"
At this time.
"Cough cough cough..."
The third prince's cough, which deliberately interrupted the communication, sounded in the study room, causing the six ministers to look at him with suspicion!
The third prince's expression became solemn: "I do not agree!"
"I also read the "Economic and Trade Policy Theory of Daxia" written by the younger brother of the prince, and felt that it was extremely inappropriate!"
"oh?"
Xia Tian's face became solemn: "What's wrong?"
The third prince said seriously: "You propose to reduce the imperial merchants and allow more private merchants to participate. I think it is inappropriate!"
"Tell me why!"
"good!"
The third prince picked up the "Da Xia Economic and Trade Policy Theory" at hand and said: "First, the imperial merchants understand the needs of the royal family and the court. Over the years, the imperial merchants have established their own supply channels, which can better share the worries of the imperial court!"
"Secondly, the imperial merchants are all in the hands of the court, which is easier to control. If private merchants are allowed to control them, the wealth will flow into the fields of outsiders, which is difficult to control!"
"Six ministers, what do you think?"
This is a naked hint from the third prince!
He believed that the six ministers would immediately follow him and say no!
Then, he entrusted the six ministers to the prince, so that the prince would owe them a favor!
Suddenly.
All eyes in the room were focused on the six ministers.
Jiang Shangshu Jiang blinked, raised his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense!"
The third prince said proudly: "I am a born saint, and what I say is the holy word. Of course it makes sense!"
However, Jiang Shangshu changed the subject: "However, after reading the "Economic and Trade Policy of Daxia" written by His Highness the Crown Prince, I and other ministers feel that... the explanations in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Policy Discussion are more reasonable!"
"Without competitors, the Royal Merchants Group will be a dominant one, which will lead to arrogance, corruption, exploitation of suppliers, and all sorts of things!"
"It will form what His Highness is talking about...monopoly!"
"If they do things poorly, the royal family and the court will have no second choice. This is a very dangerous thing for the royal family and the court!"
"So, we have to have a second option!"
"The imperial merchant must have a competitor!"
"Moreover, this competitor must be a private businessman. It must be beneficial to the people. Imperial businessmen must not be allowed to monopolize private resources. The people of the world must be able to enjoy the benefits of economic and trade prosperity!"
"Liubu completely agrees!"
The faces of the second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince fell!
Jiang Shangshu didn't care at all: "Your Highness, when you went to drink the wedding banquet between Jia Ren and the Guo family in the south of the city today, did you take a fancy to the Guo family?"
"Does His Highness want to support them to compete with the imperial merchants?"
He said thoughtfully: "I saw that the Guo family has a good family tradition today, and he is indeed a suitable candidate!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
At this time.
The third prince glanced at the six ministers with resentment: "You have changed..."
