Lin Yong squatted on the doorsill and said angrily, "Li Brothers, do you think money means everything? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have money?"
Li Yi glanced at the box under the bed, which contained the gold bars exchanged from the Bai, Ma, and Xu families.
He walked over, patted Lin Yong on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "I don't think it's important to have money or not. It's good to live a simple and happy life. People shouldn't be too vain. Money isn't everything. Can money buy health? Can it buy happiness? No matter how much money you have, it's just a number. Take it easy. Even without money, life is still the same."
Lin Yong nodded and said, "Li Brothers, you're so insightful."
"That bullsh * t First Prince wants to talk about the silver. What the hell is the silver? He just needs to pay the money to the authorities after killing people. Will the imperial court still give us ordinary people a way out?"
When talking about this, Lin Yong became very emotional and clenched his fists tightly. If the First Prince were in front of him, he would probably be strangled to death.
Li Yi had discovered a long time ago that under Lin Yong's rugged appearance, he was actually a meticulous and nationalistic youth. He shook his head and said, "The person who came up with the silver for the silver is really vicious. He doesn't give ordinary people a way out at all. Life will be more and more difficult in the future …"
"That's right …" Lin Yong sighed and said, "Now there are rumors outside that the First Prince's men were detained by the Third Prince this time because he wanted to carry out the bullsh * t silver for the Qi Kingdom and not give ordinary people a way out. The Third Prince is really thinking for the people. This time, he detained the First Prince, and I'm afraid it's hard to explain to the imperial court. The Third Prince is wholeheartedly for the people, but unfortunately, alas …"
Only when his subjects and people didn't always think about overthrowing him, but sincerely thought about him, would a successful ruler be able to wield power.
In this aspect, Zhao Yi was much better than the First Prince.
When this news was spread out, not only the people of Feng Province, but the entire Qi Kingdom would also be grateful to him. It was like a pair of wings had been inserted into his already amazing life.
On the other hand, even the relay station had been surrounded. The First Prince, who could not even protect himself, should not have the energy or mind to do anything else, right?
Although doing so would indirectly clear the obstacles for Zhao Yi, and would pose a greater threat to the Jing Kingdom in the future, the threat posed by the First Prince was more urgent and pressing...
After all, if he wasn't busy, she would be busy.
…
"Ptui! Silver of Judgment! Damn it! Do you want me to live?!"
"If the First Prince were to become the Emperor, we, the commoners, would really be doomed …"
"Fortunately, the Third Prince is here. For us, he didn't hesitate to offend the First Prince and so many officials in the capital city. It's our good fortune to be born in Feng Province!"
These days, the City of Feng Province was much livelier than usual. There were more and more people on the streets. Some were from Feng Province, while others came from other places to see the shocking scene of more than a thousand guards surrounding the relay station.
When people looked over, they glared fiercely in a certain direction and spat on the ground.
Since the news of the silver of judgment had spread, the First Prince, Zhao Zheng, had become like a rat on the street in Feng Province. Everyone wanted to beat him up. This influence was even spreading to further places.
Many people surrounded the relay station and pointed at it.
In a restaurant in the city, a slightly plump young man looked disdainful. He pointed at several people in front of him and said, "So what if my poem was plagiarized? Bite me! If you say one more word, I'll beat you to death!"
"Have you heard about the silver of judgment? Let's calculate how much your lives are worth. Guess, if you buy ten at once, will you get three more for free?"
Opposite him, several young men dressed like scholars involuntarily took a step back. When they thought of what he had just said, their faces turned pale.
"Trash! If you want to cause trouble next time, make it 13 at once!" Qian Duoduo glanced at them. Did they really think that he was still the fat Qian Duoduo who had been wantonly bullied in the past?
He waved his hand. How could these people take the initiative to cause trouble while he was drinking? He immediately lost all interest and turned to leave.
Similarly, in the Feng Province relay station, Zhao Zheng, who was facing a table of delicacies, was also not interested at all.
The atmosphere in the relay station had been particularly oppressive these days. Although no one restricted his freedom, he would rather stay there when he thought of the situation outside.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Damn it! Who was the one who leaked the news?"
Originally, everything had been going smoothly for him in Feng Province. He had borrowed money, recorded accounts, investigated the accounts, and purged the officials of Feng Province. With that secret manual in hand, he had already gained the upper hand. Alas, the news had leaked and the audacious Feng Provincial Governor had joined forces with Zhao Yi to surround this place. At this moment, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. All he could do now was wait for news from the capital.
Zhao Zheng drank a cup of wine to drown his sorrows. He walked out of the door and gazed in a certain direction with an expectant look on his face.
The capital of the Qi Kingdom.
The imperial court, which had never been solemn, was in a mess. Nearly a hundred officials were standing in two camps. Their lips were trembling, and their saliva was flying everywhere. It was as noisy as a market. The noise was so loud that it seemed as if the roof would be blown off.
"The method of borrowing money and keeping accounts is a great merit. Our Da Qi Kingdom will be more stable if we can find a parasite. It will benefit the country and the people. We must implement it!"
The one who spoke was an imperial censor. His words were firm. His saliva flew past two officials and landed on the face of another official.
Another official said in a deep voice, "Even so, we can't act rashly. The Third Prince's memorial is right. If we go overboard, it will cause more turbulence!"
"Bullsh * t. In my opinion …"
"A bunch of nonsense. In my opinion …"
…
…
The disputes in the imperial court of the Qi Kingdom had always been like this. It was not common for two third-ranked officials to scold each other. Here, you could see third-ranked officials spitting saliva at each other and fourth-ranked assistant ministers scuffling in court. Fifth-ranked officials were not qualified to attend the imperial court under normal circumstances.
The current dispute in the imperial court was about a memorial submitted by the provincial governor of Feng Province.
The memorial said that the First Prince had accidentally obtained a wonderful method in Feng Province. It could make all the corrupt officials disappear. This method had been verified in Feng Province. The memorial first gave high praise to the First Prince. Then, it tactfully mentioned that this method seemed to have a small drawback …
The court had been debating about this small drawback for several days. However, there was no conclusion.
"Urgent report from Feng Province!"
Suddenly, a person rushed in from outside the hall. He took a few steps into the hall and shouted.
The center of their dispute these days was Feng Province. The voices in the imperial court stopped.
At the head of the hall, a man wearing a dragon robe opened his eyes. His face was full of exhaustion. He looked at the noisy imperial court below and waved his hand. "Read it …"
The man took out a memorial from his bosom and handed it over. In a loud voice, he said, "His Highness Prince Heng urgently reports that His Highness Prince Feng has colluded with the Provincial Governor of Feng Province. More than a thousand Feng Province garrison soldiers have imprisoned His Highness Prince Heng and more than ten imperial censors in the capital at the relay station.
As soon as he finished, the imperial court fell silent.
"Read it again …" The man on the dragon throne slowly stood up.
"His Highness Prince Heng urgently reports that His Highness Prince Feng and the provincial governor of Feng Province have colluded. They have imprisoned His Highness Prince Heng and more than ten imperial censors in the capital in a relay station. They are plotting a rebellion!"
The man took out another memorial and respectfully handed it over. He continued, "His Highness Prince Feng reports that the supervising imperial censors are acting recklessly. They intend to bring chaos to the foundation of the Qi Kingdom and carry out a law of national subjugation. His Highness has already detained all the imperial censors and awaits Your Majesty's decision!"
After he finished speaking, not a single sound could be heard in the imperial court.
The Emperor of the Qi Kingdom slowly sat back down. He pointed to the floor and said in a deep voice, "Bring up the two memorials."
