Chapter 356 The 2nd Prince’s Suspicion is Getting More Serious

Ever since Ji Jun instilled in the second prince the idea that "the master is nothing and the servants can ignore the master or even harm the master", the more the second prince thought about it, the more it made sense.

A few days after returning to the Second Prince's Mansion, Concubine He happened upon a steward who was a distant relative of Concubine Zou's family.

In the past, the second prince would only think that it was jealousy between women, and the second prince would be happy to see it happen.

The two big money bags are fighting back and forth. In the end, they have to buy it from him, and the price will be raised higher and higher! His second prince's money bag will become more and more bulging.

If it weren't for the fact that his money bag was astonishing, how could he dare to think about becoming the heir apparent?

Canglin is honest and knows etiquette. The ancients sincerely did not deceive me!

The second prince still remembered his old days, when he was very short of money and would get worried when the holidays came.

The prince's brother's own food and clothing supplies were higher than his own, and he also had subsidies from the queen and his wife, and secretly had filial piety from the ministers.

As a prince, he really wanted everything. Sometimes his father would give him rewards when he was in a good mood, but most of the rewards were given to the third prince!

After the second prince married Concubine He and Concubine Zou, the dowry given by his father-in-law's family was enough to shock the second prince. It turned out that there was such a difference between the "rich" in his mind and the real "rich"!

However, having too much money is also a worry!

What a flower!

It should be used on the edge, for example, fighting for the position of crown prince! It’s fun to be the prince and the emperor!

However, when Ji Jun said this, the second prince realized that money alone was not enough. He had to know how to spend the money, who to spend it on, and whether it would have any effect.

For example, he went to "Good Neighbor" and spent money, but it had no effect!

On the other hand, Ji Jun is loved by so many people, but he still has to borrow money from others.

This realization made the second prince very frustrated.

When the second prince saw that Concubine He was going to take care of the stewardship, he asked for the first time.

"My dear concubine, why are you so angry?"

After Concubine He saluted, she suppressed her anger and said,

"This manager belongs to Sister Zou's family. I thought he was an honest person, so I asked him to be responsible for purchasing raw materials for the kitchen. I didn't expect that he was so bold that he colluded with the evil vendors outside and actually raised the prices of goods by a few taels of silver. He actually spent dozens of taels of silver to buy the flour! Not only that, he also dared to pass it off as good quality and used moldy flour to feed his servants. As a result, several servants were poisoned after eating it, and one of them almost died. Just discovered!"

The second prince was very surprised. He had never encountered such a thing before. He had been holding out his hands for food and opening his mouth since he was a child. It made no difference to him whether a bag of flour cost dozens of taels of silver or a few taels of silver.

Yuan Qian saw that the second prince was a little confused, and it was obvious that he did not know the seriousness of this matter at all. Because the second prince had no idea how much flour his mansion needed every day or every month, let alone rice, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc.

The first is that you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, and the second is that you don’t know the dangers of the matter. Forget it, don't talk nonsense to him about deficits, waste, and living beyond one's means. You won't understand even if you talk to him.

"Why not eat minced meat" is everywhere.

Yuan Qian said directly,

"Your Highness, this man has committed a heinous crime! Just think, if he can feed his servants moldy flour today, maybe one day he will be so greedy for profit that he can feed it to his masters. Then, if something goes wrong, wouldn't you regret it? ?”

Concubine He also quickly understood Yuan Qian's intention, so she said,

"Yes, Your Highness, if this person had evil intentions and poisoned my food, wouldn't I have died unjustly?"

Concubine He did not dare to say that she would poison the second prince to death, so she "said cruel words" to herself, and also reminded the second prince that Concubine Zou might be the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, the second prince did not think about Concubine Zou, but suddenly remembered what Ji Jun told about Qiu Shiliang.

"Two kings, one concubine, and four prime ministers"!

The second prince's teeth chattered a little, but he held it back and squeezed out a few words through the gaps between his teeth.

"Sell it with fifty bucks!"

Fifty big boards, either dead or disabled!

Although Concubine He did not achieve the results she wanted, the second prince's personal order was tantamount to a slap in Concubine Zou's face! Very satisfied too!

However, once he realized that he was really "very bad", the second prince suddenly looked like "Qiu Shiliang" to everyone. In fact, the second prince also knew in his heart how much talent he had, but because he was a prince, he was surrounded by many flatterers since he was a child, and few people dared to tell him the truth directly.

Even if someone is really good for him and points out his shortcomings, it's hard to do so directly and strip him naked.

After all, he is a prince. If he is accused of "disrespecting the royal family", he may be punished by physical pain, and he may be fined and demoted. If it gets too serious, he might be exiled or beheaded.

No one who has reached a place in the court is stupid. Who can bring disaster to himself by saying something from the bottom of his heart for a prince who sees no future, although it is good for him, but it is very likely to anger him?

So, it’s all about that.

The second prince would feel upset when it was time to study.

As for studying, the second prince has no motivation. For example, if he studies well, he will get any rewards.

Apart from a few compliments from the masters in the royal study, there was no real reward at all.

At the same time, studying is not a responsibility for the second prince. Unlike a prince, he is a prince. In the future, he will need to rule the world and protect the country and the country.

The masters in the imperial study didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but they didn't put much thought into the second prince.

You can learn it, but if you don’t learn it, you won’t learn it. Anyway, just know the words.

Naturally, learning cannot be compared with the relaxation and joy of sex. Therefore, over time, the second prince deceived himself and others into thinking that he was a prince and was born to enjoy glory and wealth. Why study so much? It’s tiring and not fun!

Later, the prince disappeared, and the second prince was pushed to the forefront.

Ning Guogong and other ministers who supported "establishing a leader" began to persuade the second prince to devote himself to learning the strategy of governing the country, and even military strategies, riding and archery skills.

The second prince also calmed down and read for a few days. However, he didn't last long before someone followed suit and said to the second prince,

"Your Highness, what you want to compete for in the future is to be the crown prince, and you don't want to compete with Duke Li and Duke Qin to be the marshal, nor do you want to compete with those sour scholars to be the number one scholar. Why are you reading so many books? No need! What are you doing? You know it all, but so many ministers down here are just eating for nothing? You just need to think about how to get these ministers to agree to you becoming the prince!"

The second prince thought it made sense.

In addition, Concubine He and Concubine Zou were from merchants. They saw money exchanges and fights in shopping malls. They just felt that as long as they had enough money, nothing would be a problem. You see, none of those noble ladies were able to enter the prince's palace. Once they did, it would be of little use to learn from them. Therefore, they lacked a far-sighted strategic vision.

In addition, in order to win over the second prince, the two of them naturally focused on his preferences. Who would be willing to go against his wishes?

The second prince has had many contacts with the two of them and has been deeply influenced by them. He feels that as long as he has money, as long as he has enough money and a generous reward, he will be able to recruit the most capable and talented people in the world to work for us. !

However, what he saw at the "Good Neighbor" made the second prince begin to waver.

After returning to the palace, he saw the scene of Concubine He taking charge of affairs, which further aggravated the second prince's wavering.

Once such thoughts appear, they become more and more out of control.

As an official in the palace, he earned more monthly salary than in other palaces. How could he, the second prince, be rich?

But even so, the steward still took advantage of the opportunity to enrich himself.

So, if this steward becomes an important minister in the court in the future, will he be greedy and become someone like Qiu Shiliang?

The second prince took it upon himself to put himself and the steward into the context of the Tang Dynasty.

If you rule the world in the future, who can guarantee that all ministers will be honest and law-abiding?

Not to mention a group of people, there is just one minister who is in charge of the Second Prince's Mansion. Can he still hold the throne securely?

Thinking of this, the second prince couldn't help but feel fear.

Suddenly, the second prince said to Yuan Qian,

"Sir, I heard that the Marquis of Huai'an has a magical medicine in his hand that can control others. Let's let his daughter enter the house early, no matter which one. I don't care how much the dowry is, I can even give him a generous sum. The betrothal gift, but the prerequisite is that he contributes the medicine in his hand!"

After hearing this, Yuan Qian's heart sank.
