After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 308 You Should Lose Weight

Painting Meixuan is in the west courtyard of Meiyuan.

Prince Ning Zhiyi is standing in front of the window of Huamei Xuan, looking at the plum garden outside the window.

Of course, the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed at this time, so there is not much to admire in that plum garden.

He didn't look at those bare plum trees, he looked lonely!
Lonely because he has already felt the warmth and coldness of this world, and even more aware of the changes in the current situation!
In the past, Dingguo Hou's Mansion, Cheng Guogong's Mansion, and Qi Guogong's Mansion, including Changsun Jinghong, actually supported him in secret, hoping that he could win this party struggle and finally sit on that dragon chair .

Therefore, although he has been extremely low-key these years, he has been paying attention to the government affairs conscientiously and dealing with those memorials that Ji Tai does not pay attention to.

He wishes he could do better.

Firstly, he lived up to the expectations of these people, and secondly...if he had sat on that dragon chair, many fewer people would have died in this court.

In his opinion, many officials in Ji Tai's party are not heinous, but are just afraid of Ji Tai's despotic power.

Therefore, he won a reputation of generosity and benevolence in the court.

But now, they seem to be leaning more toward that elder brother.

In this regard, he was somewhat lost in his heart.

Now this big brother suddenly started working in the Supervision Department with great fanfare. There are not only people from the Huangcheng Department, but also many old people who used to be in the Supervision Department.

All they're doing is one thing—

Clarify the various crimes of officials in the DPRK and China!
It was clear at a glance what Li Chenan was going to do.

As a result, all the ministers in the DPRK and China were in danger, and it seemed ineffective to go to the Zhengshitang to find Ji Tai, so they found the East Palace!

The East Palace, which was originally deserted and quiet, suddenly became lively these few days.

But such excitement was not what Ning Zhiyi wanted. Those ministers didn't come to him to discuss state affairs, but... came to tell him the grievances in their hearts like a bitter woman!
They didn't scold Li Chenan by name, but pointed the finger at the Supervision Department.

It is said that those admonishers from the Supervision Department colluded with the little ghosts from the Huangcheng Division, and they are weaving charges against the officials in the court. I heard that they have the intention of killing all the officials in the court, because the two prisons of the Ministry of Officials and Dali Temple are now under the control of the Imperial City. The people from the company are going to take over!

This is illegal!
Although Li Chenan did this with a good intention, he wanted to clear up the government, but now everyone in the court is in danger, so that the entire court has been paralyzed.

Hey……

This imperial brother, the medicine is too strong!

Just when Ning Zhiyi was thinking so, Li Chenan came to Huameixuan.

"Your Highness,"

Li Chenan called out very enthusiastically, Ning Zhiyi turned around, Li Chenan said again: "You came empty-handed?"

Ning Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise appeared on his chubby face, "Ah... I forgot about your housewarming today, and tomorrow I will send someone a big gift, what do you need?"

Li Chenan grinned: "Please sit down, Your Highness!"

The two sat facing each other, Li Chenan lit the tea stove, "This yard is quite big, let alone a lot of things that are missing."

"For example, Your Highness can give me some..."

"Purple sandalwood carved table and chairs, huanghuali eight immortals vertical cabinet, red lacquer painted gold flower pattern frame, ebony gilt treasure elephant wrapped branch bed, three pine, cypress and plum orchid pattern screens, by the way, some sapphire wrapped lotus pattern vases, cloisonné enamel bowls... "

"That's about it, let's say thank you to Your Highness first!"

Ning Zhiyi's face instantly turned green!

His originally small eyes are now wide open!
Because of these utensils, even his Crown Prince Donggong could not produce two of them.

Li Chenan made a pot of tea, looked up and saw the embarrassment on the prince's face, "No hurry, I have to go to Shuangjiao Mountain to suppress the bandits right away, you take your time to prepare... If the preparation is troublesome, you can pay it for silver Give it to me too."

Ning Zhiyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling that he had made a huge mistake when he came to Plum Garden today!

He doesn't have much silver in the East Palace!
These years, the East Palace has been living in austerity, and even there are only three maids left in the palace, which cannot be supported.

Li Chen'an, the lion, opened his mouth. After a rough calculation, if these utensils were converted into silver... I'm afraid it would cost 3 taels!
Ning Zhiyi shivered, "This..."

He was interrupted by Li Chenan before he could continue.

At this moment, Li Chenan's expression became serious.

He stared at Ning Zhiyi, "I know you can't afford so much money! But I'm not using this to humiliate you!"

"What I want you to understand is that silver is a good thing!"

"It not only allows you to live a good life, it also allows you to do many things... such as recruiting masters from the rivers and lakes to form your own personal guard!"

"For example, recruiting talents from all over the world to become your guest minister, and your think tank will advise you!"

"For example, a prince who is not short of silver will be more liked by the civil and military ministers, because money can turn ghosts!"

"Aren't these words very vulgar?"

"Your Highness, people are just vulgar things! The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit!"

"I admit that there are people with noble thoughts in the world, in order to realize the ideals in their hearts, but such people are really rare. Even if they are such people, they still have to wear clothes and eat!"

"How many private properties does Your Highness have in the Eastern Palace? What is the annual income? Don't talk about raising people, I guess I can't even afford to raise a horse...Why do you fight for the world?!"

Li Chen'an's words were so serious that Ning Zhiyi's head was buzzing, his chubby face turned red and turned white, he was ashamed, beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

He was not annoyed because of this, because he found out that Li Chenan's words were irrefutable!

"Your Highness, good medicine is good for sickness, and honest words are good for deeds."

"I shouldn't have said these words, but if I didn't say them, I'd feel panicked in my heart. Seeing your aggrieved appearance in the Eastern Palace, I'd also panicked!"

"You are the prince! You are the crown prince! You are the future emperor of Ningguo!"

"You are generous and kind, this is a good character, but there should be a limit... because others will use your generosity and kindness to seek their interests, and will call you a fool behind your back!"

Li Chenan didn't say any more, he had to leave some time for Ning Zhiyi to digest.

He filled two cups of tea, handed one over, waited for a while, then suddenly leaned over, and said in a low voice, "I know you're in trouble, because you're not good at making money."

"I'm good at this! I'll help you earn money, and you'll get a [-]% share!"

Ning Zhiyi forgot his purpose of coming here, and at this moment he also looked at Li Chenan, "How do you make money?"

"Mines, salt wells, water transportation, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fishing, etc., are all chickens that lay golden eggs!"

"After returning to the palace, His Highness, think carefully about this matter, and see what things can be obtained. When I return from Shuangjiao Mountain to suppress the bandits... let's discuss it carefully."

"I guarantee that it will only take one year, your East Palace...is resplendent and resplendent!"

Ning Zhiyi swallowed again, "Really?"

"What did I lie to you for?"

"However, you really should lose weight. Starting tomorrow morning, you will run around your East Palace three times!"

"If you can persist, I will help you get rich."

"If you can't hold on...you know I'm not short of money!"
