When Lin Pingzhang arrived at the side hall, only the princess was sitting in the outer hall. When she saw him, she came over first.
"...Where's the person?" I don't know how to call him, so omitting the title is the most direct way.
Now, the couple keeps a common secret, and everyone knows what the other wants to say.
Where is this person? The person I asked was Lin Yutong.
There's nothing you can do when there are outsiders around, but when there are no outsiders around, it's really uncomfortable to call 'Tong'er' 'Wu'er'.
Lin Pingzhang helped the princess up who was about to salute: "I see you several times a day. I don't want to say goodbye to people who come here. I see you outside."
The Crown Princess did not insist, and pointed to the inner room: "...I'm tired, let's take a rest..."
Lin Pingzhang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the couch on one side: "You can go and lean on it, there will be a palace banquet tonight. This kid has been traveling for such a long time, and he didn't get much sleep last night... Hurry up
It doesn’t matter if you take a break from time to time...you still have to cheer up at night..."
Try not to make the Crown Princess think too much.
The Crown Princess smiled, thinking too much about it, it was like this now.
This child is obviously avoiding being alone with him.
Yes! If we don't avoid it, what can a mother and daughter say in this palace where it is not very convenient for them to talk privately?
Therefore, when the child politely apologized and expressed that she wanted to rest, apart from being a little sad, she actually felt somewhat relieved.
Lin Yutong was not being polite, he was really tired. He fell asleep as soon as he lay down in the inner room.
Riding on the horse and riding on the road, I rested at different inns every night. Every time I passed a place, although I didn't see the local officials, I still had to ask questions about the people's livelihood and the people's livelihood. In the evening, I stayed up until midnight with some ministers in the mission.
It is commonplace to discuss these issues in the middle of the night. Ministers like them can still catch up on sleep on the carriage during the day, but Lin Yutong cannot. First, he cannot sleep well at all, and his whole body feels uncomfortable due to the bumps. Second, he wants to see and see how much is wrong with this world.
the same.
As a result, she gave people the impression that her grandson was full of energy and seemed to have endless energy.
But what about actually?
Whose energy is not limited, I am really exhausted.
After entering the side hall, she confessed her crime. As for whether to escape or not, she didn't think so.
When she woke up, it was quiet outside. She opened her eyes and glanced at the window. Judging from the light coming in from the outside, it was almost dusk.
As soon as she arrived, the eunuch Gong'e came in to wait on her. Lin Yutong just asked them to put down their washing things: "... If you are not used to so many people, you can just wait outside."
The only person who came to serve him was Tianfu from Chang Ning, who is now the eunuch beside Lin Yutong. They are both people who watched Lin Yutong grow up, not to mention their reliability, but their relationship is different.
Tianfu came in by himself, and Lin Yutong asked: "Isn't it a little uncomfortable to return to the palace suddenly?" In Beikang, I was used to being free, but now, the rules have to be applied again.
Tian Fu laughed and said, "Look what the master said, the slaves here came here when they were five years old. They didn't follow the princess to Beikang until they were eighteen years old. Where is this? This is the slave's home."
What is there to feel uncomfortable about? Only when I got here did I really feel at ease.
As he spoke, he whispered: "... As soon as we entered the palace, there were many people asking people to bring messages to the slave..." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "It seems that the slave is very popular, so many people are still thinking about it...
…”
Tianfu has followed Changning and has been taking care of external affairs for many years. For example, Tianfu has taken care of things such as the assets in Changning's hands, the number of people he has recruited, etc.
His shrewdness is extraordinary.
Lin Yutong understood what he meant: "No matter who shows kindness, you will follow suit."
As for what to say and what not to say, and how to say it, Tianfu knows better than anyone else.
As he said, he is familiar with the palace. He can handle these trivial matters without any problems. In addition, after being out for so many years and struggling to survive in such an environment, how can the eunuchs trapped in the palace have the same vision?
Compare?
Lin Yutong washed her face and let Tianfu comb her hair again, "Uncle Fu is doing the work, I can rest assured."
Tian Fu quickly said: "I have returned to the palace. I will never dare to be called Your Highness."
Lin Yutong just smiled and said nothing, listening to Tianfu whispering about some people and things in the palace, "... now that I have time, I want to find two boxes of fine furs and give them to Aunt Qiu and Chang in the Changqiu Palace.
Eunuch Hai sent it... The slave was promoted by these two people before he could be with the princess..."
I want to rely on this little bit of love to build up the palace's personal network.
A network of people is a network of information.
Lin Yutong said: "Go back and put things in order. You have the key to the outer library. Give the key to the inner library to grandma. You can decide what to use and how to use it."
The master and servant had packed up, and when they came out, the prince was leaning on the couch drinking tea, and the princess was placing snacks on the side. When she saw Lin Yutong coming out, she waved: "Come here quickly. I don't know when the palace banquet will start."
There were more than ten kinds of snacks on the table. Lin Yutong was not polite. He tried all the sweet and salty ones. He ate more of the sesame rolls and a jade steamed cake. He got tired of the sweet ones, so he ate these two flavors.
Refreshing.
The prince usually only eats a small bowl of cheese at this hour, which is too much for his appetite. He rarely eats at the same table with others. He has a table of food by himself and cannot take more than two bites. Occasionally he eats with others, whether it is
Both women and children are cautious. They all think about how not to offend themselves and think about how to speak appropriately. Even Zhou and Lin'an are like this.
This is the first time I have seen such a person, who is completely unrestrained in front of me. He doesn’t want others to serve him, he just picks up what he wants and eats it. He also has a very good appetite and the food is very sweet.
After eating with the child, he couldn't help but eat more.
Li Changzhi's face was filled with joy and he kept looking at the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess glanced at Nanny Chen and said, "Go to the imperial kitchen and ask for the recipe for these two snacks..."
Then the queen probably knew that the prince's food was delicious, so she sent a message to give the royal chef directly to the 'grandson'.
Gifting someone is a sign of care from the elders to the younger ones. Whether it is for the prince or for himself, Lin Yutong can only express his gratitude.
Before the tables here were removed, someone reported from outside: Princess Yong'an has arrived.
The Crown Princess frowned slightly, and then asked Nanny Chen, "Tell Roujia to kowtow to the Queen first."
Aunt Chen said: "The princess is always considerate..." She must have gone.
The Crown Princess was a little embarrassed, especially when facing Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong smiled instead: "It's my sister! Please come in."
Rou Jia, dressed in a green palace dress, came from Pingping Tingting. After greeting her parents, she saluted Lin Yutong, with excitement in her eyes: "Brother... mother has been looking forward to it day and night..."
"I'm looking forward to it too." Lin Yutong helped her up, "I bought some knickknacks along the way. I'll ask people to bring them to you later. Keep the ones you like to play with, and give the ones you don't like as gifts..."
"They must all like it." Roujia said, smiling softly at Lin Yutong, and then looked at the Crown Princess, "Mother, Concubine Zhou and her eldest brother and the others are still waiting outside."
The prince stood up and said, "Then let's go."
Outside the side hall, a beauty in light pink saluted, but Lin Yutong only turned slightly sideways.
She had met the Prince of Lin'an County before, and the girl following him should be his sister, the Princess of Yongping County, Lin Yuhe, who was born in the same year as Lin Yuwu and Lin Yutong.
This girl's eyebrows are a bit unruly, and everything is shown on her face, and she doesn't even bother to cover up the most basic things.
Even towards his great-grandson, he looked a bit arrogant.
On the contrary, the two children following behind were cuter. They were Brother Yang and Brother Chun, one was ten years old and the other was eight years old. They bowed shyly to Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong touched the heads of the two of them: "This is the first time we meet, but we are in the palace. I will give you the meeting gifts later."
"Only them? Not us?" Lin Yuhe snorted softly, and then said softly: "Father, look at my second brother, he is partial when he comes back."
The prince sighed in his heart: They are both daughters, but they are so different.
Originally, Tong'er was supposed to be more pampered than He'er.
The balance in his heart tilted instantly, and he scolded his youngest daughter in a low voice: "What does it look like in the palace?" He then asked Mrs. Zhou, "Why are you here? Just stay in Changqiu Palace."
Went to the palace banquet, but Zhou was not allowed to attend.
Mrs. Zhou lowered her head in a submissive manner. When Lin Yuhe was about to speak, Mrs. Zhou stopped her and gave a warning look to her daughter who was about to cry. Lin Yuhe instantly shrank her shoulders and lowered her head.
Speak again.
Lin Yutong's favorable impression of Zhou dropped almost by half at this moment.
To say that she loves her daughter and pampers her daughter so much that she is reluctant to teach her cruelly. This only means that the method is wrong, but it cannot be denied that she loves her daughter. But what about Mr. Zhou? Her biological daughter is afraid of her. She is so afraid of her.
mother, but she still has the same temperament.
Is it logical?
Lin Yutong smiled and reached out to help the prince: "Father, it's getting late."
time to go!
Mrs. Zhou watched as her grandson supported the prince, Princess Yongan supported the princess and walked in front. The two children she had given birth to followed behind, just like a backdrop.
Her hands slowly clenched, but there was a soft smile on her face as always.
The queen knew everything about what was going on outside the palace. She could not go to the front with her son and daughter-in-law, she had to wait for the emperor to send someone to pick her up.
Regarding the Zhou family, Nanny Qiu whispered: "Send...to the side hall?"
"Why are you asking her to go to the side hall..." The queen fixed her hairpin in the mirror: "You haven't picked out the feathers on the bird's nest you will eat tomorrow? Ask her to help."
In the past, the Zhou family served the queen specially to eat bird's nests.
Bird's nests are delicious but difficult to make. Just picking at the feathers can kill a person.
Aunt Qiu was stunned for a moment, then responded, and then sent someone to deliver the things.
Zhou looked at the bird's nest in front of her, her hands trembling slightly. She understood that this was the queen's warning to her: to keep her duty.
Keep your duty?
To get to this day, it has never been about keeping one's duty.
When it comes to duty, Lin Yutong feels that Hua Yingxue has done a very good job of saving face.
To be honest, if it weren't for Princess Changning's personal experience, and if it weren't for the Crown Princess's attitude towards Hua Yingxue, which always showed that she was wary of Hua Yingxue, with her eyes that read countless people, just from the first impression, it would be very
It's hard to classify this woman as a 'bad guy'.
Hua Yingxue arrived neither early nor late according to the rank of a noble concubine. Her makeup was just right and simple, and her appearance was dignified and beautiful. If you want to say that this is the enchanting concubine who spoils the concubine and charms the monarch... Lin Yutong would rather believe that this is love.
When Hua Yingxue walked to Lin Yutong, she stopped and talked to Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong gave her a gift, but she only accepted half of it, "...I finally came back, and your mother didn't know how worried she was... Now she's fine, the whole family is together, let me see, this is the greatest blessing
"Min." He asked Changning again: "...Is she okay? Although I don't have the shame to ask her, I still want to ask if she is okay..."
The sincerity of those words made Lin Yutong feel dazed. For a moment, she really felt as if she had a lot of choices and what she did was not what she wanted. But then she calmed down and said with a smile: "...Auntie is very kind.
Good... blue sky and white clouds, horses on the grassland, galloping back and forth, free and easy... What she likes is naturally the best."
There were tears in Hua Yingxue's eyes: "She can live a good life...I feel better..."
Lin Yutong saw a flash of ridicule in the Crown Princess's eyes.
As for the prince, he closed his eyes and meditated all the time, not even wanting to look at Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua was also very interesting, and her eyes had never been on the prince.
There are no ministers at today's palace banquet. There are only clan members. It is considered a family reunion dinner.
The clan relatives arranged it outside, and when the palace banquet began, the prince took him out and asked everyone to get acquainted with each other, and then it was over.
Those who can enter the inner palace are all the princes, emperors, queens, grandsons and granddaughters. The other ones are these women in the palace.
The queen was sitting on it. Because the palace banquet was for her grandson, her expression looked much gentler than usual. But it was only gentle, whether it was towards Concubine Chen, Concubine Li or Concubine Hua,
But they never took a look at it, including the children they gave birth to. Lin Yutong thought it was appropriate to use the word "turn a blind eye".
With the Queen's attitude, Concubine Hua became the lubricant of the entire palace banquet. One moment she asked someone to bring a soft dish to the prince, and the other moment she asked someone to send a plate of fruit to the princess.
When he turned around, he asked Lin Yutong if there was anything he wanted to eat. He just said that it was something he could make in time.
An Qing said: "My dear, please rest a while. This palace is also the grandson's home. You are so polite. I don't know. I thought my grandson was a guest when he came back."
That’s what you said?!
Lin Yutong didn't know why Anqing used himself as a raft to rush towards Concubine Hua. But no matter why, he couldn't get involved in this matter. So he just pretended not to hear, and he ate and drank when he should.
Concubine Hua glanced at her grandson, then looked at Anqing, then covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes, that's right! She only asked her grandson and didn't have time to ask us Anqing. Of course, her grandson is not a guest, but sooner or later Anqing will change from a host to a guest.
Guest’s.”
When a girl gets married, she doesn't just go back to her parents' house to be a guest.
Making fun of an unmarried girl is not an excessive joke. But the premise is that the girl is not that kind of old girl.
Princess Anqing is twenty years old and is a typical old girl. Being teased like this, her face turned red and she lowered her head and almost wanted to leave the table.
Concubine Chen was calm: "What? Does the imperial concubine have a candidate for her consort?"
Concubine Hua looked at the emperor: "There are thousands of good men in our Jingguo, it just depends on what we like in Anqing. Your Majesty only has three sons and three daughters, which one is not a treasure? The Holy Father has said it more than once, not referring to children and grandchildren.
No matter what, as long as you live a comfortable life, that's all. How can you be comfortable? For your daughter's family, it will be comfortable to find a good doctor."
Emperor Xuanping was a little absent-minded today. After Concubine Hua finished speaking, she looked at him. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Oh...if there is a suitable candidate, just tell the queen directly, and the queen will grant a marriage..."
Concubine Chen pursed her lips, and An Qing also had tears in her eyes.
Asking for the queen?
Haven't you asked for it?
I don’t know how many times I’ve asked for it. But what’s the result? None of the people I’ve asked for can pass the Queen’s test.
Concubine Chen looked at the Crown Princess almost pleadingly.
She is the Crown Princess's biological aunt, and An Qing is not only the Crown Princess's sister-in-law, but also her cousin.
But with her mother-in-law on one side and her aunt on the other, what can the princess do?
Lin Yutong raised his head and took another look at Concubine Hua. This woman is of a very high rank.
When Lin Yutong looked over, Concubine Hua showed a gentle smile. It was as if she was not the one who caused the trouble. This is how gentle words can kill people.
Lin Yutong also raised the corner of his mouth, immediately turned his face, and asked Concubine Chen very straightforwardly: "Why are you looking at my mother and concubine like this? Are you asking for something? But how does mother know what you mean? What do you want to ask her for?
?Are you reluctant to let Aunt Anqing get married? Or do you need the mother and concubine to come forward when you find a suitable family? If you don’t explain clearly, how can you ask your mother to do it? What if I misunderstand your meaning and do bad things with good intentions? "
As he said that, he didn't care what Concubine Chen and An Qing's expressions were, they just looked at Emperor Xuanping, "My grandson just said today that those ministers always like to figure out their intentions..."
Emperor Xuanping had a smile on his face: "That's right! If the minister is wrong, I am also wrong. Just say what you think, and you will save a lot of trouble."
Lin Yutong shook his head again: "I like to speculate on others, and I also like to ask others to speculate. Come to think of it, even if you, Grandfather, say something, they will toss and turn when they go back and think about whether your words are true, false, or just a test..."
Emperor Xuanping pointed at Lin Yutong with his chopsticks, "You kid... what you said... is too harsh..." Then he laughed again: "But it's not wrong... people's hearts... Isn't it like this! Then this is not the case
I was wrong."
"Of course it's not your fault." Lin Yutong pointed to his chest, "It's all the fault of people's hearts."
Tears flashed in the eyes of the Crown Princess. Her 'son' was back and she could straighten her waist. From now on, no one would think of her as a weakling. She has her 'son' to protect her.
Concubine Chen's complexion turned pale. Who was the phrase "likes to figure out others, and also likes to ask others to figure out", alluding to?
Taisun must be here for himself.
An Qing pursed his lips and stood up: "Since my grandson said so, my daughter should speak out. It will save others from trying to figure out what I mean. There is no need for mother and concubine to worry about the marriage... My daughter already has the person she likes...
…”
Lin Yuhe was just watching the fun. When she heard this, she immediately dropped the chopsticks in her hand from the table, "What is the second aunt talking about...so many people are watching..."
Roujia grabbed Lin Yuhe, with a hint of warning in her eyes.
Emperor Xuanping put down his chopsticks, with a stern look in his eyes. He looked at Concubine Chen: "Is this the princess you raised?"
On this occasion, the eldest girl shouted that she had found someone she liked.
No more shamelessness.
It's true that you don't want others to guess what you mean, but do you have to say it in front of so many people? After the palace banquet is over, go back to the palace and talk to your mother and concubine in private, isn't this okay?
As for why you can't even wait half the night?
However, Princess Anqing knelt down with a plop. If she didn't talk about it today, she was afraid that it would not happen. It should not be done at all. Lin Yuhe fell in love with Yin Chengzhi's son. The relationship between Yin Chengzhi and the prince was irreversible. If this happened
The two have become in-laws, and the marriage is probably going to work.
The royal family will not marry a royal daughter from two generations into the Yin family.
Therefore, she had to take a preemptive strike and cut off Lin Yuhe's thoughts. She rushed here just in time. If she didn't seize this opportunity, there would be no second chance.
She said bluntly: "It's not the mother's fault... it's the daughter... the daughter likes Zhong Yin Chengzhi... she won't marry anyone but him..."
This time even Lin Yutong was stunned.
Anqing fell in love with Yin Chengzhi?!
This one!
I'm afraid it won't work!
She looked at the prince. This was related to a major event in Yin Chengzhi's life. The prince would not ignore it like this.
Unexpectedly, the prince still sat there with his eyes, nose and heart in mind, without saying a word.
This is interesting. How did he decide that this would not happen?
Lin Yutong waited, waiting for the first person to express objections, but he never expected that the first person to stand up would be Concubine Hua. Her face was a little stiff: "This important matter of marriage is about your love and my wishes. Yin
The Grand Master's family is not an ordinary family..." Then she tugged on the emperor's sleeve: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Emperor Xuanping had a gloomy look on his face, and he put down his chopsticks heavily: "Let's go to Changchun Temple in Dongshan and Anqing tomorrow... How about I give you the title... 'Taichu'?"
Concubine Chen and An Qing both turned pale.
That's right! Didn't you say that you won't marry unless you are born in Yin? If you don't want to marry someone else, then don't marry someone else and become a monk. The Taoist temple has been found, and the Taoist title has been given directly to you.
An Qing looked stunned at first. She raised her eyes to look at Concubine Hua, and saw that Concubine Hua also had a look of astonishment. She hesitated to speak to the emperor. When she looked over again, she shook her head slightly, her eyes seemed like
It was written: This is not my original intention. But it’s okay. You go first, and I will definitely find a way to make the emperor change his mind.
She sneered. She originally thought that the queen was cruel. She felt happy every time she thought about the food that Concubine Hua gave the queen. Only now did she know what kind of person this Concubine Hua was.
She couldn't help but stand up. Not only did she stand up, but she also pulled Concubine Chen to stand up with her. "If you go to the Taoist temple, go to the Taoist temple. At least you will be clean. Save yourself from being tainted by dirty things and disgusting people.
."
This is intentional.
As soon as Lin Yutong raised his head, he saw Concubine Chen kneeling down again, with her forehead on the ground: "I beg your majesty, please let me go with Anqing. Changchun Temple... I will definitely practice well, please your majesty."
Granted a Taoist number..."
"Your Majesty!" The Queen interrupted Concubine Chen: "That's it for today. Wu'er is tired when he comes back. Please go back and have a rest early."
I want to go out and feel free! It’s too late!
Concubine Chen looked at the queen in shock, but the queen didn't even look at her and stood up directly.
Princess Wu'an stood up immediately: "Mother, my daughter-in-law will take you back."
The palace banquet ended in such a strange atmosphere.
Most of the clan members were "drunk". I'm sorry, I didn't hear what happened at the palace banquet. Those who heard it also forgot it and couldn't remember anything.
The road back to the East Palace is very short, and before I can figure out why, I'm here.
The prince and princess personally sent him to Luan Xiangju, "Have a rest first, if you have anything to say... we have a long way to go."
Where can Lin Yutong rest?
The emperor's attitude towards the Yin family is very strange. Royal princesses, some arrogant and arrogant ones with lovers, have existed in all dynasties. What will be the result? Life is not the same yet.
Why did things become so strict when we arrived in Anqing?
What is so different about the Yin family?
If you want to know this, you can only rely on the Fourth Master. She wrote the note, and she just told him that Anqing was interested in Yin Chengzhi. But there was a code word in the letter, and the Fourth Master knew what he wanted to check as soon as he read it.
Although I still don’t know what the use of checking these is, there are always some unknown mysteries around me, which makes people feel uneasy.
Before going to bed, I sent someone to see Muren and Bayin. I felt relieved knowing that they were treated with courtesy. Qi Wei was also involved here, so I couldn't just ignore them.
After washing and lying on the bed, the fourth master's reply came. He had only one meaning: pay more attention to the trends in the court, and he would handle these trivial matters.
Lin Yutong slapped his head and forgot to tell Fourth Master about the emperor being poisoned.
This matter is definitely not a trivial matter!
She had pointed out the poisoning to the emperor before, and the meaning in her words was very clear. She was alluding to Concubine Hua.
But looking at the emperor's attitude today, he doesn't have much grudge against Hua Yingxue.
This is very strange!
Moreover, Emperor Xuanping handled the poisoning matter too lightly. Even if he didn't know about the poisoning, he must have known it after he found out.
At least he should know how he was poisoned.
"Don't worry! This poison is life-threatening." Emperor Xuanping rubbed his forehead. It turned out that he had a headache during this period and it wasn't because he didn't get enough rest.
Feng Qianen's words were choked with sobs: "It's all my fault. If I had been like Lin Houzhi and devoted myself to research... I'm afraid I would have discovered something strange about Your Majesty's body long ago..."
Emperor Xuanping laughed: "It's rare for you to regret it. That slave Lin Houzhi has brought up a good student. I'm afraid he has made progress over the years."
Feng Qian'en nodded: "That's right! Just seeing how Taisun can tell his pulse when he touches his hand... I know that his level is not far from that of Divine Doctor Luo. Otherwise, we should ask Divine Doctor Luo to come to the palace."
Right. The slave is always worried. And... the master... never goes to that place again..."
"Not going?" Emperor Xuanping coughed, "How can I not go? If not, I won't know when she will come back."
Feng Qianen burst into tears, "She will never come back after so many years...Besides, if you keep going out like this, sooner or later someone will..."
"So..." Emperor Xuanping lay down and put the cold handkerchief on his forehead, "So, Yin Bo Fang has to be urged to speed up the construction of the Paradise Palace. No matter what method he uses, it must be built before the end of the year.
Finish."
Feng Qianen sighed, and finally said 'yes', "Do you want me to go to Yin's house?"
Emperor Xuanping waved his hand: "Go ahead! This old guy always has a way."
"A way?" Yin Bofang cursed directly: "What a way!"
Will it be repaired before the end of the year?
What to fix?
Where's the money?
Where is the silver?
Can strong winds blow?
I didn't sleep all night, and I don't know how many beards I pulled off. When I went to court the next day, Yin Bofang suggested that Jiangnan Salt Class should be rectified.
Lin Yutong is the ‘grandson’!
Standing on the left side of the dragon chair. Sitting on the right is the prince. But there is no one on the dragon chair, and the emperor has not gone to court.
Yin Bofang talked about rectifying the salt affairs. The so-called rectification must be able to make money. This has been the case in all dynasties.
Anyway, the court can't get the money now, so it's waiting for the money to be spent. Any way to get money is a good way.
No matter which camp you belong to, there is no objection on this matter.
The noise was just about the imperial envoy. This was a big fat envoy, and no one was willing to let go easily.
Chen Qingcang glanced upwards and saw that the great-grandson had an expression on his face that he was watching something good, and he was watching happily from above.
This woman not only looks and behaves like a 'great grandson', but what makes people uncomfortable is that she really understands the excitement in the court.
When Zhang Shulan saw Chen Qingcang looking at his grandson, he thought he meant to push his grandson in front of others.
If the grandson can participate in politics, then this will have a different meaning than the East Palace.
So he coughed slightly, raised his hands and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
I said?
Did I say that?
This is what I asked.
The prince glanced at Zhang Shulan, and when he saw the teacher's face full of expectation, he sighed slightly in his heart. Just as he was about to take over the conversation, the 'grandson' over there spoke.
"It is necessary to rectify the salt affairs." Lin Yutong looked at Yin Bofang, "If I remember correctly, it has been ten years since the salt tax was collected. Then tell me, how should we rectify the salt affairs?"
Yin Bofang is full of old blood. Is this great grandson a fool? Why did he come straight to his old face?
What does this mean?
He rejected his proposal as soon as he came up. The emperor had never spoken to him so directly!
Yin Bofang took two steps back and said, "I am incompetent. I would like to ask my grandson, besides the salt tax, where can I get money from?"
The salt tax has been collected for ten years, and other taxes are even worse than the salt tax!
Lin Yutong smiled and looked at Yin Bofang: "Mr. Yin Pavilion, the money has to come from the salt tax. But to rectify the salt service, we can't think of ways to deal with taxes. If you want to check, check three for me, one of which is from the salt tax.
Corruption, the second is bribery in the salt tax, and the third is the bribery in the salt tax. Only check these three aspects. If you find out clearly, you will have everything!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Those who embezzle money from the salt tax are all petty officials.
Those who accept bribes on the salt tax are high-ranking officials who are extremely corrupt.
Those who paid bribes on the salt tax were all wealthy salt merchants.
After checking these three types of people, it can be said that they are all caught in one fell swoop.
Who is the richest? Only these three types of people are the richest.
There are so many people standing in the main hall of the imperial court, who dares to say that they have confiscated other people’s carbon jing and ice jing?
Then Taisun stood in the Lizheng Hall to speak for the first time, and he said these words.
The butcher's knife was raised high, and when it was swung down, it cut off a large piece of the head.
Even Zhang Shulan, who initially asked for advice, fell silent. This affected the whole body. If this happened, Jiangnan would be in chaos.
How to express your stance, who will express your stance, if you really stir up a hornet's nest, whose responsibility is it?
The prince stood up and said, "Let's stop the discussion here today."
Yin Bofang snorted with a sullen face and led the crowd out of the hall. Gao Han followed far behind and whispered: "Master, you can't let your great grandson do such nonsense. Jiangnan...Jiangnan can't let others interfere casually...
…”
"Shut up!" Yin Bofang said angrily: "Is that someone else? That's the grandson!"
"It is precisely because you are the grandson that you cannot be so reckless as this time." When only the father and daughter were left in the hall, the prince whispered: "It takes less than a day to freeze three feet of ice! You want to destroy the dry and pull the decayed.
We can solve it...have you thought about the other consequences?"
Lin Yutong laughed: "We have already raised a tiger to make trouble! If we don't take action at this time, we will really be unable to do anything in the future. When it reaches a certain level and starts to constrain the government's affairs, then it will be weak-willed. You see, the government does not know that there are
How many adults have unknowingly boarded other people's ships. They rely on these adults to protect their interests, and these adults benefit from it. This alliance of interests cannot be broken up unless the interests are broken up...
What's more... it's time for a major blood change in the imperial court. It's better to cut through the mess with a quick knife than to deal with it like a tug-of-war. This matter, if you think about it, is all about the word 'quick'. Before they can
When you come to your senses, take them down first. With the current state of government, even if we kill them one by one, we still won’t be able to find two people who died unjustly."
"Is my world really like this?" A man came out from behind the main hall, and it was Emperor Xuanping who was about to do business.
Lin Yutong and the prince looked at each other, and both turned around to salute.
The prince said: "Father, make atonement! Wu'er is young and has returned to the court for the first time. He doesn't know the dangers involved."
"You do know the dangers involved..." Emperor Xuanping sneered, "Should we hold back just because of the dangers?"
The prince bowed: "My son, I am ashamed!"
Emperor Xuanping did not look at the prince, but looked at Lin Yutong: "Do you know what is going on in the household department?"
Lin Yutong nodded: "Just looking at the anxious looks of these adults, you can guess that eight | nine are inseparable."
"They are all waiting for money." Emperor Xuanping looked at Lin Yutong: "As long as you can spare the money, you can try any method."
This is urgent!
"My grandson understands." Lin Yutong helped Emperor Xuanping sit on the dragon throne. "The imperial court wants to dig out the eggs from under the chicken's butt. We almost got into a fight over who to dig out the eggs for. Where is my grandson? He wants to be the one to kill the chicken."
People kill all the chickens that only eat but refuse to lay eggs, and then put in some chickens that eat less and lay more eggs... Now it goes back and forth... In the future, there will be fewer and fewer chickens that eat but cannot lay eggs...
"
"The words are vulgar." Emperor Xuanping said: "The truth is indeed such a truth." After saying that, he did not sit on the dragon throne and only called Feng Qian'en: "Give the imperial edict to the grandson..."
This matter was left in Lin Yutong's hands.
After Emperor Xuanping left, the prince shook his head and said, "Do you know what you will do with the chickens you slaughtered after you bring them back?"
Lin Yutong looked at him and shook his head: "I don't know."
The prince pointed towards the palace: "Wuji Palace is a glutton's palace. Not to mention a few chickens, no matter how many beasts there are, it can't fill its belly. The chickens are raised outside. When the glutton's starves to death, we will kill the chickens.
Then this chicken is ours. Why do you have to rush it? "It's just making wedding clothes for others!"
Lin Yutong sneered: "It is Taotie, but I am still Pixiu!"
