Chapter 285 This is the real confiscation of property, the main point is to leave nothing behind (1 update)
All the boxes at the bottom of the lotus pond were dug out, a total of 50 boxes.
A total of 100,000 taels of gold!
The third prince was completely speechless.
He was convinced and admitted defeat directly, "I was careless this time. I didn't expect that Minister Zhou would not even let go of the lotus pond and the rockery!"
The little prince smiled, "Third brother was not only careless here." The
third prince was a little skeptical about life. Although he didn't want to be the crown prince, he didn't want to be considered incompetent.
It's okay to be careless once, but how come there are other aspects?
"Could it be that Minister Zhou hid the stolen money somewhere else?" The third prince asked.
The young prince shook his head, "That's not the case. What I mean is, if it's a house search, it should look like a house search. Third brother is too kind-hearted."
Third Prince: "???"
Kind-hearted?
He has already dug three feet into the ground, and he is still kind-hearted?
House searches have happened before, but they always confiscated all the money in the family, and I have never heard of digging three feet into the ground.
The third prince looked at the courtyard that was already full of holes and holes and had been dug beyond recognition, and he had deep doubts.
But he was hit in the face just now, so he dared not to be stubborn anymore. He could only ask for advice humbly, "I wonder if your highness the crown prince has any advice?"
The little crown prince smiled lightly, but his eyes were very bright. He looked serious, "Third brother, I will give you an example. For the remaining officials whose property needs to be confiscated, you should follow this standard."
What exactly is this standard?
As soon as the crown prince gave an order, a group of people moved quickly, starting from the innermost courtyard, searching one room after another.
All kinds of beds were moved away.
Tables, chairs, stools, dressing tables, kangs, treasure cabinets, lamp stands, etc. In a word, everything that can be lifted was taken away.
This is the bedroom. In the study, there are desks and chairs, pens, inkstones, bookcases, pen washers, teacups and tea sets, etc. As I said before, everything that can be taken away is packed, boxed, and taken away!
In the kitchen, it is even more ruthless. There are so many boxes of various bowls, plates, and tableware.
Originally, the valuable ornaments, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry were taken away. Only furniture was left in the house. The third prince thought that he had searched thoroughly and cleanly.
Little did he know that the prince's move was really shocking. Let's
put it this way, when locusts pass through, not a single blade of grass can grow!
Finally, only an empty house was left. If it weren't for the difficulty in removing the windows and doors, the third prince had no doubt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not let go of this thing.
Not long after, all the rooms in the yard were ransacked, and there was a huge pile of things in the main yard.
Not to mention the third prince, even the others were stunned when they saw this.
I've learned a lot!
So this is called confiscating a house?
Minister Qian's eyes lit up, and he almost said, "I've learned it, I've learned it."
It turns out that confiscating a house can be done like this!
Sure enough, the crown prince is the crown prince!
The third prince was in a bad mood, "Your Highness, these things don't seem to be of much use."
The little crown prince gave him a mysterious smile. His sister likes these things too much!
These can be exchanged for various special medicines, rice, and protective armor, okay?
The little prince smiled and said, "I like it."
The third prince thought that was the end. In his eyes, it was really quite clean.
Who knew that for the prince, it was far from over.
Everyone saw that he had all kinds of potted plants, flowers and plants used for scenery in the yard moved out. The plum trees in the yard were even worse and were dug out.
There was really no grass left.
The third prince was numb.
The family members in the minister's mansion who were about to be exiled were also numb.
Is the prince the reincarnation of a Pixiu? He didn't even let go of the flowers and plants!
It was not until the evening that the house search was truly over.
Looking at the various objects piled up in the yard, the little prince was very satisfied.
"Third brother, remember, when you confiscate property in the future, follow this standard! Since it is a confiscation, it must be a thorough confiscation. What's the point of leaving some things behind? This is not the time to be kind."
The dazed Third Prince, could he say that he really was not kind? Since
ancient times, confiscations have never been done this way!
He also had another idea, Prince, don't you think you are a bit like a rag collector? You
actually want everything.
Although these furniture are made of the best wood, poor people can't afford to buy these things, and rich people don't like things that have been used by others. What can they do with them after they are confiscated?
Chop them up and burn them?
The Third Prince couldn't help but start praying, Father, oh father, you should recover soon, Daliang can't do without you! The prince is too evil.
If you don't wake up quickly, who knows what will become of Daliang under the prince's control?
This is also the earnest expectation of all civil and military officials.
Especially after everyone heard about the scene of the prince's house seizure, those officials who usually like to receive tributes from their subordinates were trembling with fear. They
always felt that the gold, silver and jewelry in the house were not safe no matter where they were placed.
After all, the prince himself set an example by confiscating the house and taking away everything that could be moved!
Some old officials have already entered the palace and knelt outside the emperor's bedroom and cried loudly. Those were really sobbing and crying, which was absolutely heartbreaking to those who heard it and shed tears to those who saw it.
All officials really copied scriptures and chanted Buddha's name, praying for the emperor's early recovery and ending the terrifying days of the prince's supervision of the country.
All officials were in front of the emperor's bedroom. Some high-ranking officials, such as the chief minister and the second chief minister, were allowed to enter the bedroom and kneel before the emperor's bed to complain.
Telling about the miserable days they had been leading during this period!
After all the officials left, the third prince couldn't bear it anymore and went to cry to the emperor. There was nothing he could do.
Whenever the little prince opened his mouth, he would run around.
It was fine to let him confiscate the property, but whenever there was any difficult or important matter in the court, the prince would let him do it.
He thought that after finishing one thing, he could take a break.
Little did he know that this task would never be finished.
It seemed that the prince had already controlled the rhythm of his work. Whenever he finished one thing, the next one would be thrown into his hands.
The main feature was a seamless connection. If
he wanted to take a break, he needed to improve his work efficiency and finish things in the shortest time, so that he could have some breathing time.
Because of the pressure from the crown prince, the speed at which the third prince handles government affairs has increased a lot.
In the eyes of the court officials, this is an outstanding ability.
No matter how difficult the matter is, in the hands of the third prince, it can always be done quickly and well!
If any of the six ministries dares to delay or waste his time, he will definitely not give them a good face!
In this way, under the leadership of the third prince, the efficiency of the government offices has also increased.
In the eyes of all officials, this means that the third prince has outstanding leadership ability!
This is their ideal candidate for the crown prince.
The third prince simply wanted to cry. How could he be outstanding in ability? He just wanted to sleep a little longer, take a breath, and drink a cup of tea!
He was forced to do it!
