Chapter 283 What sin did I commit in my last life to have such a betraying brother, the Crown Prince (1 update)

Lu Chengtian attended the morning court, which was like a vegetable market. Everyone rushed to report, either floods in this place or droughts in that place, either this minister was corrupt or that minister neglected public affairs for personal gain.

Anyway, there was not a single day when the morning court was peaceful.

Lu Chengtian had a headache listening to it. He had to analyze the interests and what was true and what was false.

What was truly for the country and the world, and what was for personal gain.

In the end, he still needed to make decisions, make up his mind, and think about the most appropriate solution.

The little crown prince occasionally attended the court a few times, and he felt tired just by listening to so many things.

By the time he was in charge of the country, the morning court had turned from a vegetable market into a street quarrel.

The little prince sat on the bench right above, covered with a small fluffy blanket, with one hand on his head, watching the ministers below quarreling.

The procedure was like this. After the little prince's ridicule on the first day of court, when the ministers reported the problem, they would add a solution at the end. But if other officials disagreed with the solution, they would point out the loopholes and propose another solution.

The morning court turned into a debate meeting.

Everyone pointed out the pros and cons, criticized each other, and confronted each other.

At the beginning, the reasons they opposed each other seemed to be the same. Both sides, or three or four parties, still had something to say and made sense.

Later, perhaps because of the emotions, everyone could not control themselves and said anything. If anyone was not on the same team as me, I would attack them.

The attitude was no different from a woman swearing in the street.

Although the little prince felt that it was a bit noisy, after a few morning court sessions, he could basically figure out which officials were a clique and which officials were cronies.

Those who were very hidden could not be seen on weekdays, but in such a fierce quarrel, if one could not control himself and got emotional, he would join the quarreling army and be directly exposed.

These days, although the little prince still hated getting up early, he did not hate the morning court sessions so much, and it was still quite interesting to watch the show.

"Your Highness, the treasury is empty. I think increasing taxes will be the most immediate solution!" The speaker was the Minister of Personnel.

"Your Highness, last year the people suffered from either an epidemic or a snowstorm. This year's spring ploughing is already very difficult, and it is not appropriate to increase taxes! I think the military pay of the southwest border troops can be temporarily diverted to ensure this war." The speaker was

the Minister of Revenue Qian.

This is the end of the argument. The pros and cons have been analyzed very clearly, and the prince is waiting for the decision.

This matter has been argued for several days. The little prince felt that the heat was almost there, and he looked in one direction with a smile, "I wonder what Prince Rong thinks?"

The third prince: "..."

He! Just! Know!

He was numb.

From the first day the little prince went to court, when the ministers had almost argued, he would look at him and ask this question.

And every time, no matter which solution he supported, the prince agreed without thinking.

It was as if he was the one who made all the decisions, and just said it through the prince's mouth.

Those who didn't know would think that he controlled the prince!!!

Every time at this time, the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court would be focused on him. That look could be said to be quite meaningful, as if they were evaluating his ability.

It made his scalp numb.

God knows, he was honest and did nothing!

He was so wronged!

He really had never been so envious of Dumb.

If possible, he really didn't want to answer.

However, looking at the little prince's slightly curved eyebrows on the seat, he just looked at you like that. All

the civil and military officials also looked at you like that.

The third prince: "..." He

was so angry that he wanted to curse!

As a prince, he was not able to do such a thing as swearing in public, but he could not remain passive all the time.

The third prince bowed his hands, "I think both of these are wrong. The people are suffering, and imposing taxes on them is not a good idea. This time, Da Cang has invaded the border, and thieves in the southwest may take advantage of the situation. It is even more inappropriate to embezzle military pay."

Minister Qian sighed, "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not resort to such a desperate measure. I really cannot conjure up money out of thin air!" The

Minister of Personnel was unhappy, "Everyone understands the truth, but the difficulty now is that the treasury is empty, and we are in urgent need of money to supply the army. Now we can only choose the lesser of two evils, unless Prince Rong can think of a more secure and more comprehensive solution. "

The third prince didn't care at all, and said with a smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is extremely smart, there must be a better and more secure way."

Today, he must take off the hat of controlling the Crown Prince!

The little prince met his gaze: Very good, you have successfully attracted my attention.

The third prince suddenly felt a chill on his back and had a bad premonition. This feeling was too familiar, and nothing good happened every time!

The little prince took a sip of tea and said slowly, "If I really have a foolproof plan, Prince Rong is willing to lead the way for the thousands of generals and soldiers on the border?"

Sure enough!

The third prince was so depressed, could he say no?

All the civil and military officials in the court were looking at him!

If he were to say no, his role as a prince would be over.

The third prince bowed and saluted, "I will serve you like a dog and a horse!"

The little prince smiled even more brilliantly, "That would be great! The corrupt and law-breaking assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel mentioned yesterday should have his property confiscated."

"In the memorials submitted by the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice a few days ago, there were also several officials and relatives who neglected public duties for personal gain, were corrupt and law-breaking. All their property was confiscated." All the civil and military officials

in the court: "!!!!"

The third prince: "!!!!"

This was an angle they had never thought of.

"Search for property?"

The Third Prince's expression was distorted. He wanted to slap himself hard for what he had done a moment ago. Why did he have to do such an offensive thing? ! ! !

The little prince nodded, "Daliang has been established for a hundred years, and there are many corrupt officials. If they are all seized, let alone defeating a large country, even conquering the three surrounding small countries would be more than enough."

In a flash, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground.

If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. It is impossible for many officials to not accept any tribute from their subordinates.

If all of this is seized, it will be enough to fill several national treasuries!

The Third Prince's face turned pale. Revenge! Naked revenge!

He was determined to do this offensive thing.

The young prince was very happy, "Prince Rong, the matter of confiscating property is handed over to you. Whether the soldiers at the border can have enough food to eat and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy depends on how hard you confiscate the property."

The third prince smiled firmly, "I will definitely live up to your trust. I will dig three feet into the ground and search the mansions of these corrupt officials thoroughly!"

The young prince smiled, "I remember this. I will check it when the time comes."

The third prince: "..."

That was just an adjective!

Do you really have to dig three feet into the ground?

Of course you have to!

After all, he had already said it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a wasp-like mind. Who knows if he will really check it?
