The mad doctor who is the evil king chasing his wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 1569 What's going on?

Meng Xi walked over, reached out and touched Xiao Ziyu's forehead, and asked with concern: "Your Highness, how do you feel? Have you invited the imperial physician to treat you?"

The prince opened his eyes, sat up, and frowned at Meng Xi.

Meng Xi was taken aback for a moment, the prince's eyes were serious, not as if he was sick, and it was only then that Meng Xi knew that the prince was pretending to be sick.

Although he was not ill, the prince's eyes were complicated, filled with anger and impatience, and even a little worry.

Meng Xi pondered for a while, then he knew what the prince was worried about, and said: "His Royal Highness, the 9000 million gold..."

The prince Xiao Ziyu was so angry that he hammered the bed violently, and said: "Don't mention it, that Liu Cong..." As he spoke, Xiao Ziyu clenched his fists tightly and said: "When I ascend the throne in the future, the first person to kill is Liu Cong. .”

Meng Xi gave a big jump and said, "Your Highness, what's going on?"

Xiao Ziyu said angrily: "This Liu Cong dared to deceive me. He said it well at the beginning, and only gave out 1000 million gold to help the refugees, and tried to exchange the rest into gold tickets. But I didn't expect that this Liu Cong, One thing face to face, one thing behind the back, he promised well in person, once Ben Gong was gone, he took out half of the relief money to help the refugees, and returned the remaining half back to Qidu on his own initiative."

"Ah!" Meng Xi felt inconceivable, and said, "With His Highness the Crown Prince by his side, how dare Liu Cong do anything wrong?"

Xiao Ziyu gave Meng Xi a hard look, and said: "I saw that he was so obedient, so I entrusted him with the full power of the matter. Bengong's mountain is high and the road is far away. Naturally, I have to find a place to rest and go to inspect his work. .”

Meng Xi understood that Xiao Ziyu must have taken a fancy to some beauty there, or went to play on his own, so Liu Cong took advantage of this loophole.

Meng Xi said: "The settlement date is approaching, Your Highness, how will the gap of 9000 million gold be filled?"

Xiao Ziyu also had a headache, he rubbed his head vigorously, and said, "Let me think of a way, isn't it time for settlement yet?"

Meng Xi thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, Xi has a solution."

Xiao Ziyu glanced at him and said, "Let's listen."

Meng Xi said: "Isn't Prince Rui close to His Highness the Crown Prince? Now that Prince Rui is ordered to recruit troops, why not let him falsely report the number of recruits, and then deduct some from the military salary issued to him by the imperial court."

Xiao Ziyu frowned, and said: "Even if he gave me the annual salary of [-] troops, it would not be enough."

Meng Xi also felt that this was the case. In the past, the crown prince also borrowed money from the treasury, but at that time the borrowings were all small sums. Before each settlement, the crown prince could make up the money back.

However, in the past two years, the crown prince has borrowed more and more money, especially the last time, he borrowed 8000 million gold at one time. Now, even if he wants to collect the money, it is still difficult to get it together.

The prince frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Go down first, let me think about this matter."

After Meng Xi withdrew, the prince thought for a while, and finally asked someone to invite Chu Yi.

Prince Xiao Ziyu looked at Chu Yi, and said in a calm tone: "Brother Rui, I heard that Southern Chu has always been rich. As the former emperor of Southern Chu, you should have a lot of money in your hands."

Chu Yi's heart trembled, and he immediately became vigilant. He said lightly: "Naturally, the wealth of Southern Chu cannot be compared with that of Northern Qi. If the heavens are good, it can barely fill the stomachs of the people of Southern Chu. As for me, after leaving Southern Chu passed the throne to the Southern King before, how could he take money from the Southern Chu treasury and come to Northern Qi?"
