What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 83 Puppet

The old emperor nodded.

"You go down"

"It's late, and the emperor won't send someone to wait on you? The empress has just found a few girls who dance Huxuan dance. I heard that they are from foreigners from the north. They are very fresh."

"No, I'm tired and want to rest"

"Then the emperor wants to try the new big crabs from the Imperial Dining Room? Now is the time when they are full of yellow and full of seeds, and there are fresh sea bass, freshly fished from the lake in the suburbs of Beijing, alive and kicking, stewed in thick soup juice……"

"I said no"

Liufu retreated lightly, and did not forget to close the door before leaving.

When he turned around, he looked back with contempt, his eyes were full of ridicule and disdain.

"Hmph, it's almost the same if it's not a puppet, so why lose your temper?"

"You will not have any more princes. To be precise, you will never be able to impregnate a woman again. The crippled ten princes are your last children."

'Enjoy the few moments you have'

-

At the same time, Wang Ge Lao's mansion.

"The crown prince is too confused, but a bunch of beggars are just waiting for them to eat and drink. Why do you have to do these things to drive those gang of censors crazy?"

Xie Chenke was also very wronged.

"Grandfather Mingjian, why don't I want to do that?"

"But when I received the errand, the treasury was empty, and I owed the Ministry of Households 4000 taels of silver, not to mention food, either old rice or moldy."

"Royal father can't stand it for three days"

"Next year, the household tax will no longer be handed over to the national treasury. I don't know what to do with the military rations defended by the major garrisons on the border? This is a mess."

Old Wang Ge stood up in shock: "Is this the field?"

Xie Chenke hurriedly helped him to sit down again: "It's still good. Chengdu has been bad for the past two years. If there is another disaster next year, there will be more hungry people, and the poor will be extremely evil. At that time, we will have to send troops to suppress it."

Wang Ge's old cheeks were shaking.

"How is it possible? When the late emperor passed away, the national treasury didn't say that there were mountains of gold and silver, but there were millions of silver and countless treasures. How could it be possible to reach this level?"

Xie Chenke glanced at Old Wang Ge, who also looked back in astonishment.

Everyone knows how extravagant the emperor has lived these years.

Jiangnan took a fancy to a stone, and it took three ships to transport it thousands of miles away, which cost countless manpower and financial resources.

I went to northern Xinjiang to visit the princess who fell in love with him, and spent [-] dowry to marry him back.

The jade in Mobei is mined from the whole mountain.

Mushrooms, dried fruits, flower seedlings from the southwest, all good things are transported to the capital at the expense of manpower and material resources.

Isn't it empty after all these years?
Wang Ge patted the prince on the shoulder.

"No problem, fortunately, you have already become the prince, and you will have a chance to rise again in the future."

"certainly"

Xie Chenke has a plan in mind.

"It's too easy for the imperial court to be rich. Next year, the corvee tax will be increased by [-]%. Anyone who dares to resist will be executed on the spot. If there is no food, they will be levied. If the people can't survive, they will naturally join the army."

At that time, the army rations and soldiers will be available, so it may be possible to continue to expand the territory.

He is the next eternal king of the Dasheng Dynasty.

"Probably only my imperial grandfather can compare with Gu"

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, a young servant sent news that the emperor ordered Xu Jingzhong to be imprisoned in heaven, and appointed His Royal Highness the King of Chu to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Xie Chenke laughed, and Wang Gelao laughed too.

"Our emperor, is he quite sensible?"

-

The Palace of the Sixth Prince.

The canonization ceremony has not yet been held, and the plaque is still the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Xie Chenyu came back from court early and was having refreshments in the study room. It was a new perch from the imperial dining room in the palace.

The emperor didn't eat it, so someone made two to honor him.

The dining room took surimi and made small wontons the size of a thumb. They were crystal clear and soaked in rich chicken soup, and they were delicious and attractive.

When the eunuch passing the decree came, Xie Chenyu had just picked up the bowl.

When the decree was announced, he was surprised.

"Father trusts me so much?"

"His Royal Highness Chu, hurry up to accept the decree and thank you," Xiao Shunzi, Liufu's apprentice, laughed like a flower.

"Thank you for your kindness, Father, I will live up to my expectations and do this job well."

Send Xiao Shunzi back to the study.

Xie Chenyu was meditating while eating the wontons. After eating the wontons, he put them on the table, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

"Father, father, you are really too..."

-

The next day, Xie Chenyu officially started investigating the case.

He was so quick and quick that he got a confession in less than a day.

Xu Jingzhong admitted that he was very vengeful and slandered His Highness the Crown Prince with nonsense, and pleaded guilty to all of them.

Xie Chenyu rushed to the East Palace as if offering a treasure.

"Second brother, second brother, what do you think this is?"

Xie Chenke took a look and laughed: "So fast, you finished the interrogation of his tough bones in less than a day?"

"What's so difficult about it, my younger brother will naturally find a way."

Xie Chenke waved his hands indifferently.

"If you have a confession, it will be easy to deal with. I will leave this matter to you, and the second brother will not care about it."

"Okay, just wait and see, I will send you the head in a month"

The main reason is that the process is slow, and it is not easy to change even if the father comes.

Xie Chenke chuckled.

"What do I want his head to do, kill it, don't show it to me"

"That won't work. This kind of person must be killed as an example. It is best to hang his head on the city wall to dry him for ten and a half months, so as to make an example."

"Old Six, Old Six, why are you more ruthless than me?"

-

The case was settled.

At the beginning of October, the autumn wind suddenly picked up and the weather suddenly turned cold, but the palace was in full swing.

Waking up early in the morning by the salute of the Ministry of Rites, even the passing geese flew around.

In the Great Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xie Chenke wore an apricot-colored python robe, a golden crown on his head, and a golden seal in his hand. He walked up the steps step by step to the dragon chair, and knelt down heavily.

After three kneelings and nine kowtows, the old emperor personally helped his son up and read out the lengthy canonization letter drawn up by the Ministry of Rites.

After stumbling, I finished reading.

He personally handed over the bronzing brochure to the prince, dragged him to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, and issued an imperial edict.

"The second son of mine, capable and virtuous, conscientious and thrifty, virtuous and upright, belonged to God's will, is worthy of a great responsibility. Today, the ancestral temple and the country are specially sealed, and the book of treasures is granted. He is established as the crown prince and is in the East Palace. Heart of the world."

"My son will definitely live up to his father's entrustment, and dare not live up to the expectations of the world"

Xie Chenke took the edict with both hands, and at the same time turned around to receive the worship of all the officials.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites loudly announced the completion of the ceremony.

The next step is to worship the imperial mausoleum, worship the Taimiao, announce to the world and the ancestors, and at the same time canonize the crown princess, concubine Liangdi, and enter the East Palace.

At the same time, notifications will be sent to various places.

'Dasheng Dynasty has a prince'

It took a total of three days for the cumbersome gift to be completely over.

The canonization ceremony of the king of Chu is simple, it ends in one day, and there is no need to announce it to the world.

However, Xie Chenyu was still happy.

Soaked in Xiaohehua Lane for half a month before returning home reluctantly.

Xie Chenke smiled and shook his head and pointed at him.

"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, it's you, and only you. Who else dares to raise a concubine in an upright way? Are you planning to marry a noble girl?"

"With the charm of this king, what kind of noble girl can't marry? Second brother don't have to worry about it"

Xie Chenke leaned forward and laughed.

"That's right, when it comes to being romantic and suave, the whole capital can't find another you"
