Chapter 375 I have paid too much to be recorded in history (1 update)
Lu Chengtian has been having a headache lately.
After the chaos during the period when the young prince was in charge of the country, the pattern of the morning court has changed to one where ministers discover problems and propose solutions, one, two, three, and then other ministers propose various opinions to improve them, which has greatly reduced the burden on the emperor
. Of course, in this way, the verbal fights between ministers have become more and more serious. Even Wuguan, who has never been good at talking, has improved his ability in quarreling after this period of time.
Therefore, when these people use their words to impeach the prince, even Lu Chengtian feels his head buzzing.
Today, this minister said that the prince bullied his elder brother, which was against human ethics and moral integrity. Once this line of thought spread, it became that he even bullied his elder brother, not to mention the people. The ministers wrote to the emperor directly, saying that the prince would not become a wise and powerful monarch in the future.
The emperor needs to teach him more and teach him by example.
Yes, these ministers are still very cunning. They did not immediately ask the emperor to depose the prince and establish another wise ruler. They just asked the emperor to guide and educate him more.
At the beginning, Lu Chengtian did not take it seriously at all. There were many ministers in the court who were dissatisfied with the prince. He knew it in his heart and did not care about this phenomenon at all. However
, in the next few days, there was nothing wrong with the morning court, and all the contributions were made to the prince.
Ministers came one after another, either impeaching the prince for being disrespectful to his teachers or for being ignorant.
After all, the prince's tutor was fooled by the prince to study how to farm, how to increase production, and how to have a good harvest. It
takes too much time for a teacher to teach the prince. After finding a teacher for him, within a few days, the teacher either retired or changed his career, which made the emperor very tired.
The emperor always felt that he must have done something unscrupulous and bad in his previous life, so he had such an unlucky son to torture him in this life.
The emperor was so tired to deal with the civil and military officials for this naughty child.
I thought that these ministers would just go crazy intermittently, but who knew that this group of ministers would never stop going crazy. The next morning , the
court began to accuse the prince of misappropriating the treasury silver, living an extravagant life, ignoring the suffering of the people, ignoring the hardships of the border soldiers, and the spring sweating of the land, the people could not guarantee the spring ploughing. These silvers were used to provide relief to the disaster victims. When Lu Chengtian heard this, he thought that misappropriating the treasury silver was unacceptable. The Minister of Revenue Qian was heartbroken. In addition to gold and silver, famous paintings and calligraphy, there were also countless treasures, 100 carriages, and 10,000 soldiers transported to the capital. If all this was converted into silver, the treasury would be full. If there was a natural disaster and the treasury needed silver, he would not have to worry about pulling out his hair. How could they know that the Crown Prince had sent all the real gold and silver, famous paintings and calligraphy to the Ministry of Revenue, waiting for the Ministry of Revenue to deposit them. But the remaining many rare and precious toys, jewelry and ornaments were all seized by the Crown Prince. Originally, the Ministry of Revenue was going to hold a small auction for the outside world like last time, and exchange all these for silver and send them to the national treasury. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Commerce led by the Fifth Prince have cooperated on this work several times, and Minister Qian has tasted the sweetness. He has no objection to the Crown Prince's love of confiscating property, but secretly hopes that the Crown Prince will work harder. As long as the Crown Prince works hard enough, filling the national treasury is not a dream. However, the Crown Prince confiscated part of the proceeds from the confiscated property, and Minister Qian could not tolerate it. Just now, during the morning court session, Minister Qian and Lao Jianmen started to chatter non-stop. After Minister Qian said that, the censors took the opportunity to fan the flames. They were so straightforward that they began to cite classics and impeach the prince. The emperor's head was buzzing. Lu Chengtian wanted to summon the prince to the palace to explain, but the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict came back from the East Palace in a hurry, and brought the news that the prince had gone to the imperial manor. Lu Chengtian was startled and quickly gave Dequan a look. As the former chief eunuch, he had been with the emperor for more than 30 years, and the two of them had a tacit understanding. Dequan shouted, "Dismiss the court." This ended the unbearable and noisy morning court session. There is no other way. Without the Crown Prince, there is no way to confront Minister Qian in front of him. That would have to end it. Lu Chengtian hurried towards the Wenhua Palace. All the memorials were there now. However, he was more worried about the naughty child. He suddenly stopped, and Dequan, who was following him, was jogging all the way and almost bumped into Lu Chengtian's back. Fortunately, he stopped in time. "Go to the imperial manor and see if the Crown Prince has been affected by the recent rumors and is worried that I will have to question him, so he ran to the manor to hide?" Dequan's heart skipped a beat. What he feared really came true. Why! It's! Him again! Why is it always! It's! Him! Can't he just be a messenger quietly? Why must he be involved in the affairs between the emperor and the prince? Dequan's heart was roaring like a dragon, but on the surface he agreed respectfully. "Tell the prince that he can't hide away. It's not enough to just reflect on himself. He must return to Beijing to confess his crime!" Dequan received the order and set out immediately. It took only half a day to ride from Beijing to the manor. Dequan prayed all the way, hoping that His Royal Highness the Prince would not do anything tricky and let him finish this task smoothly. However, things did not go as he wished. Dequan felt that he might not live to see his death. The prince was dressed in coarse linen clothes and holding an iron shovel. The manor was stinking. In front of him was a pile of feces that was not sure whether it was pig, cow or horse feces. At this time, His Royal Highness the Prince was stirring it vigorously. Dequan couldn't control himself and vomited directly. He vomited so much that the sky was dark. The situation was terrible. The little prince was reminded by the guards, turned around and smiled unkindly. Fulu had been very discerning and asked someone to serve tea. He couldn't let the former eunuch die of hatred on the manor. Dequan calmed down a little and immediately announced the emperor's oral order. The little prince smiled when he heard it. Very good, very good, this Qian Jianmen didn't let him down, and his fighting ability was very strong, not bad, not bad, he had to keep working hard, he couldn't go back at this time.
"I won't go back. I still have to teach my third brother how to make manure."
Then, Dequan saw the third prince who was also in a state of despair.
The third prince's manor was connected to the little prince's. In order to take care of the third prince's nose, the little prince decided to choose a place on his own manor to make manure, so as not to harm the third prince's manor
. After all, his manor had 1,000 pigs and enough manure.
The third prince thought that he must have lost his mind to agree to farm with the prince to increase grain production!
He paid too much to be remembered in history!
A spring breeze blew, and the smell of the nose was too strong. Dequan felt that if he stayed any longer, this day next year would be his death anniversary.
But after returning to the palace, how should I explain to the emperor?
