After seeing the barrage, the princess quit her job

Chapter 383 The Disaster of Counterfeit Money

Above the court hall, the wind and rain were about to come. The emperor sat on the dragon chair with his head straight, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger, and the censor plausibly said: "Nowadays, all kinds of rumors among the people are saying that the gambling house is owned by the prince. The prince's loss of money will not only damage the prince's reputation, but will also arouse public anger."

"I personally think that someone should be sent to deal with this matter, otherwise the crown prince's dignity will suffer a disastrous decline among the common people, and the children of the royal family personally control the dealer, so they are suspected of defrauding money. We need to find out the truth quickly and return His Highness the crown prince's innocence. .”

The censor seems to speak for the prince every sentence, but every sentence thinks that the prince is the most suspicious.

"I think what Lord Yushi said is right. Yexuan is famous for his brutality. Although he can deter the people for a while, but the people have no money in their hands, and their lives are unsustainable. It is inevitable that they will choose desperate methods. Once the people rebel, Yang Jing There will be chaos."

"Now that the Great Court Meeting is just around the corner, envoys from other countries are leaving one after another. They will arrive in Yangjing in a few days, and they will be used by those who want to take advantage of it. It will endanger the entire Quyang Kingdom. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Hong Youwei, a political adviser, stood up and supported the censor.

"The censor and Shenzhi are always thinking of the country, but those people are to blame. They want to get something for nothing, and they go astray because they want to get wealth through gambling. Who forced them to take out all their money to bet?"

"Gambling has its own winners and losers. They should be prepared to lose before placing their bets. They made a wrong choice, but they want to make trouble in the gambling house. In Yichen's opinion, they should be taught a lesson."

Pei Guang, Zhongshu's assistant, said that he firmly supported the prince's lineage, and was at the same level as Shen Zhizhengshi, but the two did not deal with each other very much. Naturally, he wanted to support the prince.

"Then according to Pei Shilang's words, shouldn't gambling houses be banned? The existence of gambling shops is harmful to people. There are so many people in Yangjing who have lost their fortunes and ruined their families because of gambling, but the people who opened the gambling shops got their money with blood. Huge wealth."

"If a person's self-control is insufficient, it is better to solve the problem at the source. I think that we can take this opportunity to dismantle all the gambling houses in Yangjing, and improve the laws and regulations, so that they will never be re-established."

Hong Canzhi refused to budge.

The prince glanced at Hong Youwei calmly, and secretly lamented that Pei Guang was a fool, who failed to achieve success but failed to do so, the gambling house was demolished, and his loss of profit was huge.

The emperor sat up straight, and the quarrel stopped. He raised his eyelids leisurely, but looked straight at Yan Suizhi who seemed to be watching a play: "Third brother, what do you think about this?"

Yan Suizhi was caught off guard by the roll call, and smiled: "My son, stand and watch."

The ministers in the palace were speechless for a while, they all felt that King Jin was fooling around, how could he answer such an important matter as a joke, the emperor gave him the opportunity because he valued him, but he didn't cherish it, he didn't look like a courtier at all, he might be loose among the people used to it.

The censor has already come forward, so why bother Yan Suizhi to express his opinion? The emperor may not know that there is his handwriting in it, so he made a special trip to ask him.

The Secretary of the Household Department stood up at this time: "Looking at the annual national tax and the bulk of the Household Department's income, most of them come from gambling houses. It is undeniable that many people gamble and their wives are separated, but this is the result of human bad nature. It exists for a reason.”

"If the gambling house is demolished, the national tax will lose a huge part. General Shen was still leading troops to fight half a year ago. Food, grass and weapons need financial support. Years of wars have emptied the national treasury. We must not destroy our arms again. We still have to solve it first. The problem of people making trouble."

He is in charge of all the bills of the imperial court, and those ministries that need financial support have to argue with the Minister of the Ministry of Households, so what he said still has some strength, even the Shen Zhizhengshi is silent, and when it comes to the national treasury, it will be It is closely related to the interests of everyone.

"Actually, apart from the common people making troubles, there are also a large number of people who are also making troubles. It seems that they have invested a lot of money to bet and bet on the winner of His Royal Highness King Jin, but the gambling house can't come up with money. This involves the gambling house. A question of distrust."

"If the people cannot be appeased at the root, it may intensify, and the chaos in Yangjing will be inevitable."

The consequences of common people's rebellion are the most serious. If it is not done well, civil strife will arise, especially at the feet of the emperor. Improper suppression will cause a series of disasters.
