One Piece: My Son is Garp

After speaking, Li Chen looked at Xu Changqing and said lightly: "Now that the household department lacks a book, opportunity, the palace has been placed in front of you, if it is done, you will be the next book, these things can't be done, the palace will be replaced, do you understand the meaning of the palace?"

Xu Changqing's heart was surging, and he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Minister, I am willing to smear the liver and brain for His Highness!"

Since ancient times, the interests have moved people's hearts, not to mention the position of leading a book, and the household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, and the power is much greater than ordinary people imagine.

After sending Xu Changqing away, before Li Chen could take a sip of tea, Sanbao came.

"Your Highness, Dongchang has received news that the Xian Dynasty mission that came to the capital a month ago is vigorously operating with the major officials in the capital, promising heavy profits, hoping to promote the empire to send troops to the Xian Dynasty to solve the crisis of their invasion by Dongying.

The report of the Three Treasures made Li Chen frown slightly.

At this juncture, the situation in the capital is already complicated, and all kinds of forces are mixed together, pulling the whole body, but another Xian Dynasty mission will muddy the waters...

"How long have they been in the capital?" asked Li Chen.

Sanbao replied: "It's been more than half a month, the reason is that Dongying attacked the Xian Dynasty half a year ago, and the Xian Dynasty was in the midst of civil strife, so Dongying was caught off guard all of a sudden, and now the country has lost one-third of the country, so he sent an embassy to ask the empire for help, but the emperor was not in good health and did not summon them."

"I think they should be in a hurry, and there is a war in the Xian Dynasty, so they are looking for officials in the court to achieve their goals through bribery.

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "It's okay, this palace is about to cut off a few heads, which can not only establish authority but also steal the family and collect money to fill the treasury, and I am worried that I can't find an opportunity and a reason, you sent the spies from Dongchang to keep an eye on the mission, who they went to meet, how much money they sent, everything was recorded one by one, and after fermenting for a period of time, enough heads were saved, and the palace cut it at once." The

Three Treasures replied respectfully, "Slaves and maids

obey the order." After

sending away the three treasures, Li Chen drove to the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Daxing was still lying on the dragon couch and fell asleep.

"How is my father's health?" Li Chen asked the imperial doctor.

The imperial physician sighed and said: "The emperor's body is not as good as day by day, some time ago he could be awake for a quarter of an hour every day, but now he may not be able to wake up for two or three days." "

How long can you hold on?" Li Chen asked bluntly.

The imperial physician immediately knelt down and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen really can't give you an answer, the condition has reached this point, and medical skills are already secondary, mainly depending on the emperor's willpower and... Heaven bless. "

Okay, this palace knows, let's go down."

Li Chen didn't reprimand the imperial doctors too harshly, and after letting the imperial doctors retreat, Li Chen sat on the side of the dragon couch.

Looking at Emperor Daxing, whose face was withered, Li Chen did not speak.

He originally came through time, and he didn't have any feelings for Emperor Daxing, and even in a way, if Emperor Daxing didn't die, he wouldn't be able to ascend the throne... It's just that now, he is not thinking about Emperor Daxing's illness, but thinking about how to deal with the group of profiteers who steal the country with money at night.

These profiteers, taking advantage of the decline of the empire's national power, colluded with local officials to forcibly annex land, and then used their interests to attract those officials to their chariots, forming a solid and complex network of interests over the years.

Li Chen wants to move them, it is not such a simple thing, and even if the operation is not good, it will immediately attract the backlash of the court, and the gains will outweigh the losses when the time comes.

But if they do not move, the treasury will have no money, and they will not be able to provide disaster relief, and if they are indulged in their wanton behavior, the life of the people will only become more miserable.

When the time comes, it will be like traveling through a certain dynasty before, the people are poor, and the court is even poorer, but those corrupt officials and businessmen are fat one by one.

This is something that Li Chen will never allow to happen.

Li Chen thought about this scene, and in the eyes of others, they thought that the crown prince was worried about the emperor's body.

"Imperial Physician Chen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really filial.

A physician whispered to his colleague.

Imperial Physician Chen is the Imperial Physician who answered Li Chen's question before, he sighed and said: "Who said no, since ancient times, the emperor's family has been the most ruthless, but I think the prince's solemnity and worry at this time are not disguised, the emperor has many heirs, but in the end, only the prince really cares about the emperor's body." The

companions next to him all nodded, thinking that they had spied on the secret of the prince's heart.

Just when Li Chen was thinking in the Qianqing Palace, the outside of the palace was also not calm.

The death of Mount Reynolds caused a wave like throwing a stone into the situation in the capital, which seemed calm despite the turmoil.

The wind and waves brought by this stone instantly affected the situation of all parties in the capital.

Zhao Xuanji was the first to receive the news.

"Lord Shoufu, after Renault Mountain was beheaded by the crown prince, the left servant of the household department immediately went to the East Palace, according to the news from our eyeliner, Xu Changqing and the prince talked for nearly half an hour before coming out, but what exactly they talked about, I don't know yet. "

The one who reported to Zhao Xuanji was Qian Han, the political envoy of the capital, who was the official title of the real power and the third grade, and when he arrived at the local level, he was the chief of the government, but in front of Zhao Xuanji, Qian Han's posture was very low, and he bowed his head to make a report.

Zhao Xuanji picked up the teacup and shook his head gently, blew away the tea leaves floating on the tea soup, and said: "Kill Wei Xian first, and then kill Renault Mountain, one is the pen eunuch who has been deeply rooted in the inner palace for more than ten years, and can faintly compete with the Three Treasures.

Qian Han hesitated for a moment and said: "Not only is Renault Mountain dead, but now the people of Dongchang are raiding the house, and all his family members have been beaten into slavery, the men are in the army, and the women are in the official skills, which is equivalent to destroying the door, this kind of thunderous means makes many people on our side a little panicked, Lord Shoufu, do we want to go to the court and let the prince rein in a little?"

"Convergence?".

Zhao Xuanji shook his head and said, "He can't be restrained at this time." "

The crown prince has just been in charge of the country, and it is the time when he is in high spirits, and anyone who wants to stop him, he will be desperate to remove the stumbling blocks, and it is not rational to go against him at this time.

Qian Han said respectfully: "The prince is still only in charge of the country and has not ascended the throne, how can he confront the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? Even the emperor sometimes has to compromise with the first assistant."

Zhao Xuanji put down the teacup and said: "The compromise between the emperor and me is just a political game, and I have to make concessions and trade-offs in order to take care of the overall situation, but the prince is different, the prince is in charge of the country, and he has a strong temperament, he is in power at this time, who can listen to his words?"

What's more, he has not yet ascended the throne, it is his disadvantage and his advantage, when the time is uncontrollable, he can push the emperor out, but he does not have to bear many responsibilities, if once he ascends the throne, he will have no backer behind him, and he can only stand at the forefront by himself, but it is not beautiful.

Qian Han asked as if he didn't understand: "Then how do we deal with it?"

"Do nothing, wait and see."

"He wants to kill the minister, as long as it is not our core person, let him kill, he wants to play the chapter, just send it to him, govern a country, it doesn't make much sense to look at the chapter, he gave the order, the prince's order is not out of the capital, and no one will carry it out, it's just a joke."

Zhao Xuanji said lightly: "The more he kills, the more dissatisfied the court will be with him, and when the time comes, no one in the civil and military affairs will support him, how can he ascend the throne? Now in order to seize power, he is killing people with fear, which seems to be refreshing, but in fact, he is digging his own grave, losing people's hearts, and wants to abolish him, just turning his hands.

Qian Han smiled and said, "Lord Shoufu has the wisdom pearl in his hand, and he is really clever.

"There is another matter, the prince is in charge of the three major grain merchants in the capital at the banquet in the East Palace tonight, do we want to intervene in this matter?"

Qian Han arched his hand and said with a gloomy smile: "As long as we continue to speak, the three grain merchants will ignore the prince, and the prince will be embarrassed at that time."

Zhao Xuanji didn't treat this matter as a big deal, and said casually: "You just look at it, it's just a few businessmen, it's not a big deal, and it's good to kill the majesty of the prince, at least let him understand who is in charge of the court today."

Qian Han arched his hand and said, "I'll do it."

"Go, the old man is tired, there is nothing else important, don't disturb the old man's rest."

"Then retire from your humble position, Shousuke-sama, take a good rest, don't work too hard. "

......

Li Chen sat in the Qianqing Palace until late in the evening before leaving.

When he returned to the East Palace, he estimated the time, and the three grain merchants should have almost arrived, but when Li Chen asked, he realized that the three grain merchants didn't mean to come at all.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, among the three major grain merchants, the head of the Chen family said that he was recuperating from illness and it was not appropriate to walk around in the wind, and the Hu family said that their master went to the field to check the accounts and was not in Beijing, and the remaining Liu family simply closed the door.

Xu Changqing's face was embarrassed, and he knelt in front of Li Chen in fear and said.

Li Chen couldn't see joy or anger on his face, but his eyes were gloomy.

"Okay, since the palace invites them to come to the East Palace, then the palace will personally go to their mansion.

After speaking, Li Chen's sleeves and robes waved, "Three treasures, bring a hundred brocade clothes and guards, and go out of the palace with the palace." "

The prince went out of the East Palace, like a hidden dragon out on patrol.

Sanbao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the most elite one hundred brocade guards at the headquarters of the East Factory in the capital, led by him and two brocade guards in person.

There are twenty brocade guards on the left and right of the front team, one thousand households pressing the formation, and the same twenty brocade guards on the left and right in the back are pressed by another thousand households, and in the middle are the remaining twenty most loyal and best Jinyi guards who are personally led by Sanbao to guard Li Chen's safety.

More than 100 people left the East Palace and went straight to the nearest Chen family's mansion.

Along the way, Li Chen did not keep a low profile, but followed the system with great fanfare, took the royal road in the middle of the road, and traveled on the street.

The people on both sides, all those who hear that the prince Luan is driving and do not bow down and do not bow down will be punished with great disrespect.

Li Chen didn't say a word all the way, passed through the most lively East Street, and under the attention of hundreds of people, spies and eyeliners from all sides, he came to the gate of Chen's Mansion, which occupied a large area of land in the most prosperous area of the capital.

The Great Qin Empire had strict rules about class.

There are four levels of businessmen and merchants, and merchants are the lowest ranks.

No matter how rich a merchant is, he can only wear clothes made of coarse cloth, not even silk, and in a place like the capital, it is not possible to buy a house if he has money, and many lands have identity regulations, and he is not a farmer or a scholar, so he is not qualified to have a mansion in the capital.

But the Chen family has obviously made an exception.

When Prince Luan drove outside the Chen Mansion, the Chen Mansion had obviously already received the news.

The door opened, and more than a dozen people from the Chen Mansion were already waiting outside.

"Grass people Chen Jingchuan, with his family, see His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince Chitose, Chitose, Chitose.

In the midst of the cry of a thousand-year-old mountain, Li Chen put up the sedan chair, looked at Chen Jingchuan who was kneeling in front of him, and said lightly: "Aren't you sick?
