Chapter 269 The Relationship between the Emperor and the Old Prince

With Lin Mo, the atmosphere in the court is different.

The atmosphere in the past few days was a bit heavy, and they felt it was too quiet.

Although this little ancestor sometimes just dozed off here, she seemed very lively even if she was just standing here.

Lin Mo's eyes rolled around, and he asked Xiao Bai in his heart: [Did you have any interesting gossip during the time I was sick? Tell me one and let me hear it.]

Bai Xiao: [Okay, then what gossip do you want to hear? There are only so many gossips in the capital. Several things have indeed happened recently.]

Hearing Bai Xiao's words, some people who had something happen at home recently suddenly became bolder.

Lin Mo: [Let's talk about the old prince. Didn't he come back to pay back the money? He owed people so much money, and the emperor didn't care at all. ]

The emperor sitting on the throne twitched his mouth when he heard this. How could he not care? He didn't know how he had survived these decades.

He was just a prince! A prince who was not favored and had just married a wife.

Who knew that this uncle was so shameless and actually set his sights on him? It was not easy for him to save such a little money. He did everything he could to make money, and finally saved such a little money.

When the uncle borrowed money from him, he really didn't think so much. Who knew that this man would never pay it back.

The most unexpected thing is that not long after the emperor’s uncle left the capital, the previous emperor died. He inexplicably ascended the throne, and the money in his pocket was plundered, but he still ascended the throne.

After becoming the emperor, he still thought that there must be money in the treasury and he should not worry. As a result, the previous emperor left him an empty shell.

He had to use his own money to subsidize the treasury. He had just been cheated of more than half of the money, and now he had to continue to use money to subsidize the treasury. To be honest, if he hadn’t had a better mentality at the time, he really wanted to hang himself at the door of the treasury with his pants belt.

No one can be as good as him as an emperor!

Bai Xiao began to talk about the old prince: [You don't know how funny this old prince is. When he went to deliver money to some families, he was beaten out. When he came back, the emperor thought he had seen the wrong person.]

Lin Mo: [Is his return so shocking?]

Bai Xiao: [That's right. Many people thought he died outside. After all, so many years have passed. Who knew that this man was not only alive, but also made so much money by doing business outside. When the emperor knew that he made so much money, he discussed with the prince and others to rob his treasury.]

The emperor and the prince: ...

what you said, can you give us some face?

Lin Mo laughed in his heart, [I think the emperor and the prince are very honest. The emperor has a very good temper. If I was cheated of so much money by someone and they came back decades later, I would be the first to leave without saying anything.]

Emperor: You think I don't want to, but he is my uncle after all!

The emperor was not favored when he was a child. The old prince took care of him for a long time when he was a child, gave him money and food, and often mentioned his existence in front of the late emperor, asking the late emperor not to forget his son. It can be said that in his heart, it is not the late emperor but the old prince who plays the role of father.

If the old prince hadn't mentioned him in front of the late emperor, he would have been forgotten by the late emperor. A forgotten prince would not be known even if he died.

So when such a respected elder asked him to borrow money, he really didn't think too much and revealed all his secrets.

Bai Xiao: [It's impossible to kick him. The old prince has a different status in the emperor's heart. When the emperor was young and couldn't take care of himself, the old prince helped him secretly. ]

[Let's put it this way, although the old prince is not very reasonable, he has a good heart. The previous emperor had many sons, and many of them were not favored. The old prince took care of those children to the best of his ability. The current emperor and Prince Xin can be said to have been raised by the old prince. ]

[Because he is an elder whom he respects in his heart, the emperor was also borrowed so much money from the old prince. ]

The ministers didn't know what to say when they heard this.

It can only be said that the old prince is really out of tune. The late emperor was actually quite indulgent towards this younger brother. The late emperor was ruthless and never showed mercy to his brothers.

But he didn't say that he valued the old prince very much, but he certainly didn't hurt him. Maybe it was because the old prince was always seen as a playboy who liked men and didn't care about politics.

However, Lin Mo was a little curious after listening to Bai Xiao's words: [Xiaobai, since you said that the emperor and Prince Xin were both raised by the old prince, why didn't the old prince borrow money from Prince Xin? ]

At this moment, Prince Xin, who was standing not far away, sighed in his heart.

You have to have money to borrow. Although my brother is not favored, he has been making money all the time. He has saved so much money by himself. He does not have the ability to make money nor the brains.

Bai Xiao could not help but smiled and replied: [If the old prince wants to borrow money, he must have money from Prince Xin. When Prince Xin was a prince, he was even less favored than the emperor and had even less money than the emperor.] [

The old prince, don’t even think about borrowing money. If he goes to see Prince Xin, he will probably have to pay for it himself. How can he borrow money?]

Prince Xin:...Why do you say that? He is not that poor.

Lin Mo looked at Prince Xin, who was standing not far away with a warm temperament. He is an honest man, indeed an honest man!

The emperor sitting on the throne couldn't help but look at his younger brother. He thought he was the poorest prince, but his younger brother was even poorer. He suddenly felt a little comforted.

Bai Xiao continued: "You don't know how poor Prince Xin was. He had no interest in the throne. He just thought about how to make his life better every day. Whenever he had no money, he would go to the old prince. This man couldn't say a good word. He just looked at the old prince pitifully until the old prince gave him money.

The emperor patted his thigh. Why didn't he think of this?

He should have gone to the emperor's uncle a few more times. He was too concerned about his face. He was young at the time!

Everyone looked at Prince Xin with mixed feelings. They didn't expect that you, an honest young man, were actually like this. You are quite thick-skinned.

Prince Xin was embarrassed. There was nothing he could do. He was poor. He

also had to support his wife. Although he hadn't married yet, he and his wife loved each other. He had to have some money to buy gifts for her.
