Chapter 362
Ji Fushou asked people to pay close attention to the movement of the third prince, and asked Mr. Jing who was beside the third prince to pay attention secretly.

A few days later, the news came from Nighthawk that the third prince sent people to Jiangnan to purchase grain in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.

Ji Fushou snorted, "It's really a big deal to buy 10 shi of grain. It must be [-] taels of silver. It's hard for the third prince to come up with so much money."

Chi Qiguang smiled playfully, "Recently, objects from the palace have flowed out of the capital, and they are being shot in the south of the Yangtze River."

Ji Fushou immediately understood, "The imperial concubine took out the things in her palace and asked the third prince to sell them secretly, and then exchange them for food? That's right, the things in the palace are all rewarded by Emperor Qi Cheng. As long as you do it carefully, Sneak out the things in the warehouse, exchange the rewards from Emperor Qi Cheng for food, get the help of Xiliang, and then seize the throne of Emperor Qi Cheng, and when you become emperor, you will not find any rare treasures."

His son's lifespan has been shortened by several decades, and he may die at any time. The way to save himself is to make his son emperor and imprison Emperor Qi Cheng. Naturally, the imperial concubine fully supports the third prince in his actions.

Chi Qiguang said in a deep voice, "Food is easy to buy, coarse salt is hard to come by, and you can't get salt without a salt primer, unless he pays a lot of money to buy it from a salt merchant, but the amount of [-] shi is too huge, and it is easy to cause trouble." look sideways."

Unexpectedly, Ji Fushou said, "No, if he has the knowledge, coarse salt is quite easy to find. Many merchants will secretly trade with Xiliang, and most of the goods these merchants usually carry are coarse salt, tea and silk. It is not difficult to get [-] shi of coarse salt from these merchants.”

Chi Qiguang raised his eyebrows, "It seems that money is touching."

After a pause, he said again, "Wang Jian sent me a message that the First Prince is going to use the money from the copper mine."

Ji Fushou's expression froze, "How much money is there, and what does he use that money for?"

Wang Jian helped the eldest prince manage the account books of the copper mine, and he knew everything about the copper mine. Chi Qiguang then said a number, "Duke Lu has a good management system, even if only 6% of the share is given to the eldest prince, in the past two years , [-] taels of silver were allocated to the First Prince. And the First Prince, he used this money to bribe the sergeants guarding the palace gate."

Ji Fushou's eyes flashed, "Bring the sergeant guarding the palace gate, is he trying to force the palace?"

Chi Qiguang thought about it, "I see it."

Ji Fushou asked again, "Duke Lu has not lifted the ban so far. Did he make his own decision to buy the sergeant or did Duke Lu order him to do so?"

Chi Qiguang shook his head slightly, "Wang Jian never said that I asked him to test the tone of the First Prince."

Ji Fushou pondered for a while, and said: "The eldest prince and the third prince have been acting frequently recently, how about letting them bite dogs again?"

Chi Qiguang's heart moved, "You mean, tell the third prince about the copper mine, and let the third prince interfere with the eldest prince's affairs again?"

Ji Fushou nodded, "The eldest prince can also slow down the process of the third prince purchasing grain, the eldest prince will definitely keep an eye on the third prince all the time, trying to catch the third prince's handle, so that the third prince will not dare to act rashly. "

Ji Fushou thought for a while, and then said, "If the matter about the copper mine is exposed, you can arrange for someone to participate in the performance of the eldest prince, so that he is not worthy of being a son of the royal family."

Chi Qiguang immediately understood what she wanted to do, "You want the eldest prince to lose the chance to win the heir?"

Ji Fushou raised his eyebrows, "Our Central Plains people's affairs are naturally resolved behind closed doors by us Central Plains people, how can we let foreigners intervene?"

The third prince does not know when he will ask Xiliang to help. If Xiliang invades the border, it will be a disaster, and if the third prince is really asked to cede ten cities to the people of Xiliang, even if the Daqi royal family falls, they will take over. A ruined dynasty.

Let the first prince lose the chance to seize the heir first, and then the third and fourth princes will follow.

Chi Qiguang smiled, "Okay, I'll let someone handle this matter."

"Your Highness, you used this money to buy these sergeants, but Duke Lu asked you to do it?" Wang Jian asked as if chatting.

The eldest prince was a little displeased, "It's not like I won't be able to do things without the Duke of Lu."

Wang Jian knew that this idea was his own.

He asked cautiously, "Your Highness, you bribed these sergeants to..."

The eldest prince waved his hand, "Just be prepared, it's always good to be extra prepared."

In other words, the eldest prince has no intention of forcing the palace yet.Wang Jian thought to himself.

Wang Jian asked again, "Then I wonder if His Highness should tell Duke Lu about this?"

The eldest prince's face darkened, "What's the matter, is this palace your master, or is Lu Guogong your master? I do things, and I have to explain everything to Lu Guogong?"

Wang Jian's words made Li Yang very dissatisfied, and suddenly made him feel that he would achieve nothing without the Duke of Lu, and his original idea of ​​telling the Duke of Lu about this matter was also extinguished.

Wang Jian immediately explained, "Your Highness misunderstood, Ziyi was thinking that Duke Lu was a general in the army after all, so he might suggest something to His Highness Neng."

Only then did the eldest prince turn pale, and said angrily, "Father is still unwilling to let Duke Lu lift the ban, and it is not good for me to go to Duke Lu's mansion often, so as not to upset Father. There is no need to tell Duke Lu, I have my own discretion."

Wang Jian wisely did not mention Duke Lu again, holding a list in his hand, "Your Highness, this is the list of sergeants guarding the palace gate that you asked me to find out."

Li Yang took it over and looked at it, then handed the list back to Wang Jian, "You just buy the people on this list one by one."

Wang Jian replied yes, and after leaving Li Yang's study, Chi Qiguang had the same list in his hand the next day.

On the other side, Mr. Jing went to find the third prince.

"Your Highness, I discovered something, which is very important to the First Prince."

The third prince, Li Chong, has often had a bad temper recently. Whenever the servants who served him did something wrong, he would be beaten with sticks until they were beaten to death. In the farm, the corpse was removed from the carriage and buried on the spot.

Li Chong's violent temperament made the servants tremble, and they dared not approach him for nothing. Fortunately, Li Chong was able to suppress his temper to Mr. Jing. When he saw Mr. Jing coming, he politely said, "Mr. Please sit down. Mr. I don’t know what happened when he said he found out about the elder brother?”

After Mr. Jing took his seat, he said solemnly, "Your Highness, I have been sending people to monitor the movement of the First Prince's Mansion, and found that every two months on the first day of the new year, the Duke of Lu's Mansion will send things to the First Prince's Mansion.

Originally, I thought it was an item sent by the Duke of Lu's mansion to the eldest prince and concubine, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but it has been like this for the past two years, rain or shine, so I became interested. I followed it up and found out... ...The eldest prince and the Duke of Lu joined forces to mine copper mines privately! "
