522 Unlucky, the throne was originally mine (Sixth update)

Ahem... The Ninth Prince didn't know whether Feng Qingchen was praising him or insulting him. In short, if he continued to talk about this issue, he would definitely become worse and worse in Feng Qingchen's eyes.

"None of this is important. What's important is that the Queen's father and brother fell into the trap. There is evidence and witnesses in this matter. They can't shirk responsibility even if they want to. Besides, it is true that they were involved in the private salt and grain trade." If you want to blame someone, blame them for being too greedy, otherwise they wouldn't have fallen into the trap.

In the face of huge interests, few people can remain unshakable, and royal relatives are no exception!

"Yes, the process is not important, what is important is the result. Anyway, they were fooled stupidly, and now they can't clear themselves even if they want to." In Feng Qingchen's eyes, the risky behavior of the queen and her brother was really stupid.

Others exchange their lives for wealth, but they are already extremely rich and yet they still want more.

However, Feng Qingchen could also understand that there was a difference between a son-in-law being an emperor and a grandson being an emperor, and it was normal for them to want to be richer.

"How could they be stupid? In two months, they earned nearly 300,000 taels of silver from me. Such a deal can't be found anywhere else.

Besides, apart from the Wang and Xie families, all the powerful people in the capital were involved in smuggling salt, grain and grain transport. They were involved in all industries that made money and all industries that ordinary businessmen could not get involved in, because these industries made the most money. "Such things have never been prohibited. To maintain a luxurious life and pomp, they need a lot of money, and the powerful people always have to find ways to make money.

"Can I say they are short-sighted? Given their status and position, it is easy for them to make money legitimately. After all, they don't need to deal with government officials like ordinary businessmen do."

First-class families make money by doing legitimate business, second-class families make money by using power, and third-class families make money by breaking the law. It seems to make some sense.

"First, the money comes slowly in legitimate industries. Second, if they want to do it, they have to have the brains. The rich and powerful in the imperial city are all able to give birth and raise children. They have beautiful wives and concubines, and a large number of sons and grandchildren. The expenses are huge. In addition, they are extremely extravagant and love to show off. They can't do without financial support.

Besides, the Queen's father and brother need to make arrangements for Prince Luo, which also requires a large sum of money. In particular, they need to win over the relationship in the military, which requires even more money. The military is always short of funds. Any general with a little ability will try their best to make money so that their soldiers can have enough food and their families can be adequately taken care of. Otherwise, who will work for you?

Look at Yuwen Yuanhua. In order to support his Yuwen army, he has spent all of the Yuwen family's property in the past few years. Otherwise, he would not have come to me for help.

All the promises after the success are empty words. Nowadays, everything needs money. If you don’t have enough food and clothes, don’t have good weapons, and your family is not taken care of, who will be in the mood to fight? Who will be willing to fight for you? "

The Ninth Prince endured for a long time, but finally couldn't bear it anymore. He reached out and pulled the person into his arms. Feng Qingchen did not resist and calmly found a comfortable position in the Ninth Prince's arms.

What's wrong with being intimate late at night? They are a couple. If you are not satisfied, just appeal. I will reject our decision one by one for you to see.

Because they were in the palace, the Ninth Prince could not act recklessly. He just hugged Feng Qingchen and whispered to her. Even their clothes were neatly dressed, which showed that the Ninth Prince was very polite.

"It's all because of the money. The Queen's father and brother made the money to benefit Prince Luo, but they didn't expect that this move would harm Prince Luo. I wonder if Prince Luo will be affected by this." Feng Qingchen tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his lips.

She felt relieved when she heard the news that Dong Ling Zi Luo was going to be in trouble.

"What? Do you care about him?" The Ninth Prince exerted force with his arms and hugged Feng Qingchen tightly.

In fact, he was quite bothered by the fact that Feng Qingchen was Dong Ling Ziluo's fiancée, but he couldn't change the past. He only regretted that he had not noticed Feng Qingchen earlier.

Feng Qingchen felt pain, but did not break free: "Who cares about him? I just hope he will be affected, so that he won't act like the future prince in front of me all day long, which will make people feel disgusted."

This answer satisfied the Ninth Prince. He loosened his grip slightly and gave Feng Qingchen a light kiss on the temple: "It is inevitable that he will be affected. Even if the Emperor will not question him, the fall of the Queen's father and brother will be equivalent to cutting off one of his arms. His power in the court will be greatly weakened.

In addition, because of this incident, the emperor will certainly not favor him as much as before. If the queen is deposed because of this, his advantage as the legitimate son will also be gone. Even if the queen is not deposed because of this, she will definitely be imprisoned. In short, Prince Luo’s advantage in winning the throne is gone. "

"You don't support the crown prince, and Prince Luo has no advantage. The other princes will have a greater advantage. In this way, won't Dong Lingqi be caught up in a fight for the throne?" Feng Qingchen turned his head and said to the Ninth Uncle.

She discovered that the Ninth Prince was playing a big game of chess.

He cured Xiling Tianyu's leg and let him compete with Xiling Tianlei in Xiling; he helped Nanling Jinxing and let him compete with Nanling Jinfan in Nanling. Now he is stirring up trouble in Dongling.

Oh my god!

Except for Beiling, the other three kingdoms were all plunged into civil strife under the manipulation of the Ninth Prince. As for Beiling, with the marriage of Princess Anping, there will surely be changes as well.

This man is so scary.

The Ninth Prince saw Feng Qingchen's eyes widening and knew that she had figured it out. He had never hidden it from her in the first place, but she just didn't think about it that way. It was good that she had figured it out now.

The Ninth Prince smiled and nodded: "You are right. Every prince of Dongling has a chance. Later, let them thank you. If it weren't for you, they would have returned to the foreign land long ago, and they would have missed a great opportunity."

The Ninth Prince said this half-truthfully, Feng Qingchen rolled her eyes at him unhappily, and said thank you, it would be good enough if those princes didn't tear her apart.

"What about you? Have you never thought about that position?" Feng Qingchen understood that the Ninth Uncle was determined to rule the world, but he still couldn't help asking. After all, the world was too far away, and the potential of that position was not small.

"That position originally belonged to me, why should I think about it?" The Ninth Prince said with disdain. That disdain emanated from his bones. He truly disdained the throne of Dongling.

"Ah?" Feng Qingchen was startled and jumped off the Ninth Uncle, blinking his big eyes...

"What's there to be shocked about? The late emperor's will stated that I am the crown prince, and the current emperor is merely acting as regent on my behalf. When I come of age, the throne will be returned to me. Otherwise, why do you think Prince Su keeps helping me? He is an insider." The Ninth Prince pulled the person back and hugged him tightly to prevent Feng Qingchen from running away again.

He had the beauty in his arms, and although he couldn't do anything, he was satisfied. There were not many opportunities for him to hold Feng Qingchen like this.

"So what's the situation now? You've been an adult for a long time, right?" Feng Qingchen asked blankly, and finally understood why the emperor tried every means to get rid of the Ninth Uncle. He was originally the Ninth Uncle, and he couldn't sit still and feel at ease as long as the Ninth Uncle was alive.

"What do I need that position for? If the emperor is willing to sit there, let him sit there. Not many people know about this anyway." The Ninth Prince said indifferently.

Sitting in that position, he had no freedom at all. Besides, he didn't have the energy to spend decades to sort out Dongling's internal affairs and build Dongling into a powerful country.

Even if he built Dongling into a powerful country, the other three countries were eyeing it covetously. Dongling might be destroyed by the other three countries before he did anything.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. How good it is now...
