"This subordinate failed to stop the eldest prince, and missed His Highness's important event, His Highness, please punish him!"
In a hall of Wangfu, more than ten guards of Fengwangfu knelt in a row, with extremely regretful expressions.
The third prince Zhao Yi waved his hand and said: "Get up, if the emperor wants to force his way in, you won't be able to stop him."
God of Wealth Qian stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, although the First Prince has taken that piece of paper, the records on it are so brief that ordinary people can't understand them at all. This subordinate can write a more detailed one now."
"This is not the most important thing." Zhao Yi looked out the window with a thoughtful look on his face, and said after a while: "Even if this method is effective in punishing corrupt officials, it should not be rushed, it must be done step by step, otherwise, I am afraid that the harm will outweigh the benefits, and most of the imperial court will be involved, and by then, the situation will definitely be out of control."
A look of doubt appeared on Qian Caishen's face, while Yang Yanzhou and Zhao Xiuwen nodded slightly.
Corrupt officials have existed since ancient times, and they can't be eliminated or killed. Although Qi is powerful, there are so many corrupt people, whether it is the central government or local officials. If drastic reforms are carried out, countless people will inevitably be involved. On the head, I don't know how many heads will be lost, making people panic, and the situation is unstable...
This is not their purpose, this method can only be used gently, if it is done too hastily, it will inevitably cause extremely serious consequences.
"But the eldest prince is always eager for quick success and quick success, and he is very happy about success. This time, he will definitely not treat it lightly. Those censors are also full of stubborn minds. This time, when he came out of Beijing, he was ordered to inspect the state capitals. This method will be like adding wings to a tiger... "
Zhao Xiuwen paced in the hall, and said slowly: "He has always regarded Fengzhou as a thorn in his side, and this time he has no good intentions. He will definitely use Fengzhou first. Your Highness must guard against it."
Zhao Yi rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand lightly. After a while, he turned his head to look at Yang Yanzhou, and said, "Yanzhou, what do you think?"
Yang Yanzhou pondered for a while, and said: "This is a rare opportunity for the eldest prince, so why not for us?"
He raised his head and said again: "The First Prince is always rushing forward, and this time he will definitely use this matter to embarrass His Highness. Fengzhou is inevitable, and the neighboring states may also be affected. Your Highness may as well go along with the flow and completely Inspect Fengzhou, one is to catch moths, and second, it can also easily remove the people they have placed in Fengzhou over the years."
"In this way, the two parties supervise each other, and no one can tamper with it. The eldest prince can investigate as he wants, and His Highness only needs to write a letter to report the matter to the imperial court in full, and ask for credit for the eldest prince..."
God of Wealth scratched his head, his face became more puzzled, and finally he couldn't help asking: "Why do you want to ask for credit for the First Prince? What good does it do us? After asking for credit?"
Zhao Xiuwen interjected: "After asking for credit, His Majesty will definitely appreciate the Eldest Prince. Everyone in the court knows that the Eldest Prince holds a heavy weapon, which can make all corrupt officials invisible. Perhaps the state capital that was checked before will Check again, wherever the First Prince goes, the officials are panicked, and the common people lined up to greet him..."
Qian Caishen looked at Zhao Xiuwen, then at Yang Yanzhou, and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Isn't this going to make the eldest prince offend all the officials of the Qi country
When he looked at the two of them again, his gaze changed a lot.
It seems that it was right not to let Duoduo take the No. 1 exam. He decided that in the future, he must keep his son away from these vicious scholars. Compared with these, what are the intrigues in the business world
"By the way, where did you get this thing?" Zhao Yi suddenly looked at the God of Wealth and asked.
God of Wealth was startled, and said, "I picked it up."
…
…
In a posthouse in Fengzhou City, several censors gathered around a table with their buttocks pouted, staring at a piece of paper on it for half an hour.
"Do you understand?"
The young man in Chinese clothes walked in from the outside with his hands behind his back, looked at them and asked.
A censor bowed his head and said: "Returning to Your Highness, the things recorded on it are messy and disorderly, and I really can't comprehend them..."
The youth in Chinese clothes frowned and asked, "No one understands?"
Among these censors, which one is not well-educated, knowledgeable and talented, even Zhao Yi's subordinates can't compare with it, which makes him feel a little angry.
He pondered for a moment, then said: "Go and find out, who is that fat man in Prince Feng's residence just now?"
…
Qian Caishen came out of Prince Feng's mansion with a depressed expression on his face. The treasure dedicated to the third prince was intercepted halfway, and he was naturally depressed.
However, this person who came out halfway couldn't even offend the third prince, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
"Are you the God of Money?"
When he was about to walk to the gate of the Qian Mansion, two people suddenly appeared from one side. The God of Wealth was stunned. Seeing the two men with cold faces, he looked at them suspiciously and said, "Who are you? Why are you looking for my brother?" ?”
The two were stunned for a moment and asked, "Is the God of Wealth your elder brother?"
"Yes." Qian Caishen nodded and asked, "What do you want my brother to do? I'll go in and call him out for you."
After finishing speaking, he raised his foot and walked towards the gate of the mansion.
Just two steps away, another figure came out from the side, and he could see clearly that this person was the one who followed behind the eldest prince just now.
The man looked at him and said lightly: "The eldest prince is here to invite you, please follow me."
Qian Caishen's expression changed, and he said, "I don't know what the eldest prince wants to do with the grassroots?"
The man waved his hand: "You will know when you go."
…
"Are you the God of Money?"
The youth in Chinese clothes looked at the fat man in front of him and asked with a smile.
The God of Wealth immediately bowed and said, "I don't dare to be the God of Wealth. Qian Duo has seen His Royal Highness King Heng. I don't know if His Highness called the little people over. What orders do you have?"
The eldest prince picked up the piece of paper and said, "You really created such a wonderful method?"
The God of Wealth looked up and said, "It's just some petty cleverness, and it's not in the elegant hall. Your Highness praises it."
"You don't need to be humble, it's not a little cleverness." The eldest prince smiled and said: "This king is worrying about how to clean up the moths in the country. This method is of great use to our country of Qi. You should take the lead. I will return to you." After Beijing, I will ask for credit for you in front of the emperor."
After Qian Caishen was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, and he immediately said: "Your Highness must not, it is the grass people's honor to be able to relieve His Highness's worries, and they absolutely dare not claim credit for it, otherwise, the grass people will feel panic in their hearts, and I am afraid that they will die." I can't sleep at night..."
If all the corrupt officials knew that he made this thing, they would indeed not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.
Qian Caishen said sincerely: "All this is due to His Highness, and the grass-roots people are already very satisfied to be able to do something silently for His Highness behind the scenes."
The eldest prince Zhao Zheng looked at him, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "You are a smart person who understands current affairs."
I thought it would take a lot of talking to persuade him to switch to him, but I didn't expect that the God of Money and Wealth was so sensible, Zhao Zheng was very relieved.
"My king is ordered to monitor the various state capitals, and it takes time and effort to check the accounts. You have helped me a lot this time. Don't worry, this king will not treat any meritorious person badly, as long as you do things for this king with all your heart." , in the future you will enjoy endless glory and wealth... "
Qian Caishen looked full of sincerity and fear, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhao Zheng nodded, handed him the piece of paper, and said, "Go and explain to them in detail how this method should be used..."
"I obey..." Qian Caishen nodded, picked up the piece of paper, and walked over.
At the gate of Prince Feng's Mansion, Yang Yanzhou and Zhao Xiuwen came out.
When walking down the steps, Zhao Xiuwen suddenly turned his head and asked, "Yanzhou, do you think Qian Caishen made any mistakes?"
Yang Yanzhou shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate that old fox..."
