Dongzhou Palace,
Holding the confessions of those people, the monarch was watching with a gloomy face, while the queen, prince and Chu Yang sat beside him, quietly accompanying the monarch.
"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable. This youngest is simply too much. Let alone his elder brother's concubine, he dares to poison his elder brother. How lawless!" The confessions are still on the table.
"Your Majesty, if the sixth son doesn't find out this time, the eldest son will be poisoned to death by your third son!" Speaking of this, the queen's eyes were full of mad hatred. As a mother, she naturally cannot tolerate anyone hurting her son.
Hearing this, the monarch glanced at his beloved wife. "Queen, don't worry, I will handle this matter strictly, and I will definitely not tolerate the third child."
"Father, if you want to move the third child, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Concubine Fang!" At this point, the crown prince frowned. Some background.
"What's the matter, isn't it just a few officials, just cut it off!" Chu Yang didn't take it seriously.
Hearing what the two brothers said, the monarch first glanced at the prince, and then looked helplessly at his youngest son. "Do you think the officials of the imperial court are carrots and cabbage? You just chop it up for no reason?"
"Hey, it's not easy to find the crime. It's corruption and breaking the law. In the evening, I will send some skilled guards to arrest some of the confidantes around the three Mr. Fang, torture them, and get them the crimes of taking money and breaking the law." After the evidence was obtained, they ransacked the house, confiscated dirty money, chopped it up one by one, and others had nothing to say!" Chu Yang was already familiar with this kind of thing.
Hearing this, the monarch raised his eyebrows. "You did the same thing in Dongzhou? First arrest your cronies and torture them, then ransack your home and behead them?"
"That's right, first find out the cronies of the officials. If the officials are really clean, then put the cronies back. If the officials are corrupt, then just ransack their homes and behead them. But to be honest, the emperor just sent me those officials you sent, There are really not many honest ones!" Speaking of this, Chu Yang wanted to complain. This ancient upright official is really a national treasure at the level of giant pandas!
Looking at the picky look of his youngest son, the monarch snorted coldly. "Don't get cheap and act good. If I don't send you a few more corrupt officials, what are you going to use to build buildings for the victims?"
Looking at the monarch who spoke with confidence, Chu Yang nodded repeatedly. "That's right, Father, you are wise. All the officials sent to Hai'er were rich and corrupt officials. The richest one was the prefect of Henan three years ago. He was demoted to work in Hai'er's wine city because of corruption. The county magistrate, but when Hai'er ransacked the house, he found that the guy had more than 1.3 million taels of silver, and several boxes of jewelry. Thanks to his donation, Hai'er took three wineries, chicken farms, and cattle farms. And the sheep farm is covered!"
Seeing Chu Yang's grateful expression, the monarch's face twisted for a moment. Xin said: A magistrate who has been demoted is worth 1.3 million taels of silver, this is really greedy!
"Oh, that's fine. Let's talk about the Fang family's affairs. Your Majesty, what do you think of Lao Liu's idea?" Looking at the monarch, the queen asked softly.
After glancing at his wife indifferently, the monarch turned to look at his youngest son. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, nine out of ten officials are corrupt officials, and there are very few who are not corrupt." Chu Yang said these words with confidence.
Hearing this, the monarch rolled his eyes. "Can't you say something I like to hear?"
"Father, I am your own son. Do you want me to deceive you with good words every day like those courtiers in the court? To fool you? Then I have become an unfilial son?" Shrugging, Chu Yang said Seriously.
"This..." Looking at the younger son's expression: I am a filial son and I don't bully the emperor, the emperor can't say a word after being bullied.
"Okay, Lao Liu is a character who would rather bend than bend, why are you and him serious?" Pulling the sleeve of the monarch, the queen softly coaxed her man.
"Okay, you are so capable, I will leave this matter to you!" Nodding, the monarch agreed to Chu Yang's solution.
"Father, let's talk about it first. We ransacked their homes and got back money. We father and son will get half of it!" Looking at the monarch, Chu Yang seriously discussed the issue of dividing the spoils.
Hearing this, the corners of the monarch's eyes twitched. "No, they are my ministers, they are corrupt, and they are also my money. Why do you divide half of it?"
"Okay, then I'll suffer a little bit, you seven and three. Is this okay?" Chu Yang frowned helplessly, and Chu Yang made a concession.
"Hey, do you still dare to bargain with me?" Hearing what the younger son said, the monarch laughed angrily. He has been the emperor for so many years, is this the first time someone dares to share money with him
"Father, don't be so stingy! Dongzhou has suffered a famine again this year. The east is flooded, and the 3,000 hectares of fertile land have turned into a vast ocean. The west is also drought and the land of the three villages has no harvest. And In the north, the pirates are making a scene. You should always be merciful, pity the poor child!" Speaking of this, Chu Yang looked aggrieved.
Hearing this, the monarch sighed faintly. "When did I not allocate money to you for disaster relief? You think it's too little?"
"Father, your five thousand taels of silver is enough to build a six-story building. It's not that I think it's too little, it's really too little!" Speaking of this, Chu Yang looked helpless.
"Then, how much do you want? Didn't you kill many corrupt officials and open many restaurants yourself? Could it be that your money is not enough?" Looking at the younger son, the monarch asked helplessly.
"Father, merging the villages is only a temporary solution, not a long-term solution. My son plans to build dams on both sides of the canal, and then build dredging canals to dredge the river, so as to completely solve the flood problem in the east. In this way, not only the Dongzhou people People, people in other prefectures can also avoid the suffering of floods. In addition, the boy wants to build roads, so he can buy Dongzhou's wine, Dongzhou's fruit, and Dongzhou's glazed products to other places. There is also the west My son, my son also wants to introduce some drought-resistant crops from other neighboring countries for planting. In addition, there are pirates in the north. My son also wants to send troops to encircle and suppress them. If all these things are done, there will be no tens of millions of taels of silver. Not enough!" Looking at his father, Chu Yang spoke the truth.
"Tens of millions of taels of silver? Bastard, are you using me as a cash cow? Even my treasury doesn't have that much silver! Besides, I can't give you all the money I have? I gave it to you. What about the garrisoned soldiers? If I gave it to you, what about the disaster victims in other state capitals?" Hearing the youngest son's lion speak loudly, the monarch couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Father, don't worry so much. I let you out without even saying anything. My son has already thought about it. You, just send some corrupt officials to my son every now and then. If my son opens some shops, I will take my time." Make money, and gradually solve the problems of Dongzhou." It is Chu Yang's great wish to build Dongzhou well, not only for merit, but also for the people of Dongzhou.
Hearing this, the monarch snorted coldly. "You still licked your face and said, do you know that now, the officials of the imperial court are scared to pee their pants when they hear that they are going to be sent to Dongzhou?"
"Pfft!" The queen was the first to burst out laughing.
With his head lowered, the prince couldn't help laughing until his mouth cramped.
"Boy, is baby that scary?" Chu Yang scratched his head with helplessness.
"In their hearts, you are more terrifying than me." Speaking of this, the monarch sighed again.
"Father, my son thinks that what the sixth brother said makes sense. The flood in the canal needs to be cured, and the situation in Dongzhou really needs to be dealt with fundamentally. Although money is a big problem at present, the sixth brother is for the country and the people. Corrupt officials, helping the common people build large and tall buildings, helping the common people open chicken farms, cattle farms, sheep farms, wineries and glass factories, everything the sixth brother has done is worthy of the support and praise of the father!" Looking at himself His father, the prince said so.
"Yes, I admit that Lao Liu has been successful in the past few years and is very popular in Dongzhou. However, I really have no choice but to send some officials who have served in the court for many years to Dongzhou. Corrupt officials, then I don’t know, it’s already very good to allocate 5,000 taels of silver to Dongzhou for disaster relief every year!” Speaking of this, the monarch was also very helpless.
"Yes, I understand!" Nodding, Chu Yang had no choice but to respond.
"It's far away, okay, the Fang family's affairs will be handed over to Lao Liu. According to what you said, 30% to 70% will be divided into you. As for the money you lack in the future, it will be up to you to do business and kill it yourself." Corrupt officials. However, don't go too far, restrain yourself." Looking at the youngest son, the monarch urged him worriedly.
"Yes, I understand!" Chu Yang nodded, expressing his understanding.
"Xiao Meiniang, her two maids, the imperial doctor named Liu Chang'an, and the two confidant eunuchs under the third child, where are the evidence of these six people? I want to see them!" Looking at the two sons , So said the monarch.
"They're all locked up in the wing room! I'll order someone to bring them here!" Chu Yang stood up from the chair after saying that.
Before Chu Yang could lead someone, a soldier walked in. "Your Majesty, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the four princes have come to visit the sixth prince, and are waiting in the front yard now!"
Hearing this, Chu Yang raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: It's really the right time for the youngest to come!
Hearing that the younger brother who poisoned him came, the prince's face was also very ugly, although he lived in the sixth younger brother's house for five days, and he had already cured himself of the poison. However, as long as he thinks that the third child almost poisoned his younger brother, he will still tremble with anger.
Hearing that the murderer who poisoned his son was coming. The queen's eyes also surged with crazy killing intent, if she dared to poison her son, damn it, he should be cut into pieces!
"Okay, since we're here. Then let the four of them come over. I'm also going to see them!" Having said this, the monarch narrowed his eyes.
"No!" In response, the guard turned and left.
