Chapter 55: Di Gong’s Good Strategy: The Prince has no money

"Father is not wronging the sons. The sons are just looking at them as pitiful. Although they are prostitutes, they are also subjects of the fathers. They can't see them. How can they ignore them after seeing them? After entering the Eastern Palace, the sons have placed them down, but they have not seen them yet. Besides, the sons are also thinking of a proper way to send them out of the palace. But there is no good way, for fear that after they are sent out of the palace, they will be persecuted by Wu Minzhi immediately. Don't believe that, the eunuch, you can ask in the Eastern Palace."

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't believe it, it's that Your Majesty doesn't believe it. I don't speak as well as Li Shan. After all, he is a famous scholar in the world." At this point, Bier served tea, took a sip, and said, "It's just two prostitutes, whether they are important or the Grand Duke is important. Don't say that Your Highness is the crown prince, when Empress Changsun heard that the Zheng family had a daughter, and was outstanding in talent and appearance, he accepted it for Taizong. Duke Zheng praised the Lu family for the Zheng family's daughter, and strongly advised the sage. Taizong took the imperial edict."

"That's right," Li Wei responded with disbelief. There is indeed this, but only the good side is seen. Empress Xiao, the queen of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, became the concubine of Yu Wenhua and Dou Jiande, and the princess of two generations of Turkic kings. After hearing about her beauty, this talented and wise grandfather took her back as her own woman and served him with Yang Guang's daughter, Yang Concubine Yang.

Xiangxue and the other two are prostitutes, but they are as good as jade. They are really not as good as Queen Xiao who has married five husbands, and they are both king-level and have given birth to several children?

But it is understandable that Wang Cainian was for his own good. Wang Cainian continued, "Besides, Duke Zhou did not know how to restrain himself, and was still doing things wrong, but died faster. I have also heard of these two prostitutes. Although they were prostitutes, they were very famous. Duke Zhou had insulted the returning geese. It turned out that the scholars dared not speak out. After the incident of Your Highness, insulting Xiangxue and the people of Chang'an will anger all the scholars and the people of Chang'an. It will also be of great help to Your Highness. Moreover, as long as several years later, Your Highness... can also take them back to the palace."

There was a throne behind His Highness, who dared not say it out loud. But Li Wei wiped his sweat. The Tang Dynasty did not attach much importance to chastity, but he had to go through the hands of others before taking it back. What is the reason for this?

However, they all came to Luoyang, and they would definitely send it out of the East Palace.

Seeing him thinking, Wang Cainian thought he had listened to his words, so he said again: "It doesn't matter, but it's not beautiful to have those Confucian scholars target them. But I still have one thing to notify Your Highness."

"What's up?"

"That rumored person will be the one who is going to be the top of the mountain and see the small mountains. Is it what Your Highness wrote?"

“That’s right.”

"Oh, Your Highness is confused. Can you write such a poem? There is also Ji Tianji. Your Highness is too powerful, and Your Majesty seems unhappy. I guess that it is not that these two things are tied to the affairs of Duke Zhou, and Your Majesty may execute Duke Zhou."

Li Wei smiled bitterly. When Ji Tianshuo was in the sacrificial world, he knew it was not very good. Di Renjie reminded him of the poem. He said: "It is true."

"Your Highness, let's make up for it now. In fact, it may not be a bad thing to go to Dongdu. It depends on how your highness gets along with His Majesty and Empress."

"That's right," clothing is not as good as new, people are not as good as old, and if you want peace, the root of the problem lies in your parents, especially your mother. The best way is to be with them, Wu Zetian. Until now, he has not regarded Wu Zetian as his mother. When he thought of seeing this great man, he felt a little nervous and expectant.

"I have another way to resolve your highness a little bit. Have you heard of the story of Lu Buwei and Zichu?"

"I've heard of it," Li Wei replied casually, but immediately reacted and shouted to Bi'er: "Bi'er, go and ask, how much money can you take out in the warehouse?"

"Your Highness trusts me, and I guarantee that every penny of money will be used on the edge of a knife," Wang Cainian was a little moved. Of course, the world is prosperous and everyone is doing things for profit. He will not be greedy for this small profit, but will be optimistic about the prince. When he gets the throne, he will only benefit from the great fortune.

However, with the use of these money, the eunuchs and palace maids around Li Zhi and Wu Zetian could speak good things for Li Wei, but this effect was very great.

Wang Cainian said again: "The problem is that there is no room for recovery. I came over and brought a secret decree to secretly execute the female palace where the rumors were born."

That is, the original few Siqin and Sizang had no room for recovery, and Wang Cainian could not continue to be attentive. But what is this? The people who should be executed did not execute them, but several people who had committed little crimes were executed.

Could this be the legendary candied dates?

After seeing off Wang Cainian, Liu Qun said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, there is not much money in the warehouse. Can you transfer the money from the workshop outside to fill it?"

The entire Eastern Palace expenses were extremely huge, but the only part of the inner palace that the prince could mobilize was limited. In order to make Wang Cainian operate in Luoyang, he transferred a batch of money and silk, and the workshop spent a lot of money. Now the inner palace warehouse is empty. If the prince is kind and comes to help something, something happens to the inner palace.

"Well, all the surplus in the workshop will be transferred back to the inner palace to fill the losses." Speaking of this, Li Wei started to have a headache again, and Wang Cainian brought back a message. Because of his serious illness, Da Yuji himself could not preside over the presidency. Should his father ask himself to stay and recover from the illness, continue to host the Da Yuji, or immediately summon himself to Luoyang? If he immediately summoned himself to Luoyang and was not in the Eastern Palace, someone asked him to investigate and saw the deficit in the warehouse. After checking, he found that he had invested in a milk candy workshop outside, and asked Wang Cainian to bribe him and sent a large amount of money out. What should he do?

He said to her: "You arrive at the post station and call Di Renjie, the father-in-law of Bingzhou whom you met the day before yesterday."

"Here!"

"Your Highness, after all, Your Majesty can't bear the death of the wife of Wei." Di Renjie said.

"She has been dead for many years." Bier said unwillingly.

"Although, I have heard some rumors among the people. The Helan family has the appearance of the queen, her talent, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are good at it, and they are understanding..."

Di Renjie didn't say anything further, Li Wei and Bier both came over.

Wu Zetian is Li Wei's mother, but I haven't seen her once, but the palace says that her mother is like this. She is in her forty years and looks like she is a little over thirty. She has the appearance and talent of her mother, and she is so young. The so-called understanding is the other way around. No wonder her mother is afraid or has already made bad moves. From the mother's perspective, this is an important danger and will definitely be eliminated. But from the father's perspective, she is reluctant to leave.

In fact, how beautiful the Helan family is, don’t look at Helan’s person, just look at Helan Minzhi’s appearance.

"Maybe the letter I wrote was in my mother's hands, and my mother would make my father change his mind."

"Not necessarily, although the emperor is seriously ill, he is somewhat in control of sovereignty. But Duke Zhou will die. This time, His Highness has made a counterattack. If Duke Zhou does not die, the number of people who despise Your Highness in the future will inevitably increase. Let me think about it." Di Renjie said, revealing his thoughts.

After a while, Di Renjie said: "I have an idea, but that is, the queen may like it, but the emperor may not like it."

"That's good," Li Wei replied without hesitation. His father and mother only chose one, and he undoubtedly chose his mother. His father can still keep his caress about his work. His mother's work is called decisive, his heart is cruel, and his hands are so hot.

Di Renjie still heard of Wu Zetian. He smiled bitterly and said, "But your Highness, don't forget it. Your Majesty is your Majesty."

"What's the idea? Will it seriously disappoint my father?"

"Not even this. Just doing this will push Helan Minzhi to death faster. Your Highness, after your letter arrived in Luoyang, the queen would definitely hope that Duke Zhou would die, but Your Majesty may not."

Li Wei nodded and said yes.

The reason for the crazy is to suspect Wu Zetian, not Li Zhi, and his father would definitely not be angry. Maybe he was also suspected of his mother, but he was tolerating it because of all kinds of unscrupulous reasons, or his mother's methods were too clever, which made his father suffer from an attack.

"So what's the idea?"

"Your Highness, is Duke Zhou going crazy now?"

“That’s right.”

What's the reason? If you forcefully rob the Crown Princess, it's not forcibly rob the Crown Princess, and seduction is also wrong. Isn't it crazy?

"This time he failed, but instead suffered some blows. Ordinary people may be restrained, but he may not. Maybe he is even more crazy, as long as your highness..." At this point, he whispered a few words in Li Wei's ear.

"A clever plan."

"It's not a clever plan, it's a bad plan. Your Highness, it's better to avoid these dark things in the future. If possible, let others do it for you." Di Renjie shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to relieve the crisis on behalf of the prince, but he ruined the prince.

Li Wei curled his lips and didn't care. He was killed. Why did I still have a nominal prince? Isn't it right?

Seeing his expression, Di Renjie said again: "Your Highness, let it be. Duke Zhou is an exception. However, some ministers speak frankly, just like Duke Zheng or Bi Gan in history. As a monarch, he cannot act loyally."

"Don't worry, loyal words are good for action, and I am still from the provincial capital. That is advice, not murder, not rebellion."

"Your Highness can say this, I will feel relieved. As for those two prostitutes," Di Renjie frowned and said, "The prince must send them out of the East Palace. Your Highness's eldest son should not be based on their names. Although they have good character, they are born into prostitutes after all."

"Mr. Di, my father is not in Xijing, and I don't believe in orphans, and you don't believe in orphans?" Li Wei said with two drops of sweat.

"It's okay, I have heard of the two prostitutes. Both appearance and character are excellent, especially the character, which is rare. This is a blessing. Besides, your highness is nearly the year of being crowned, and there are many children and grandchildren in the East Palace, which is also a blessing for the country. As long as your highness is restrained, it will not delay national affairs."

Li Wei was speechless, and even you didn't believe it, he even said such words. I am still a Tong brother. But Di Renjie was not finished. He glanced at Bier and said, "Actually, Miss Jiang is still good. With one more child, it will be good for Your Highness and the country."

One sentence made Bier's eyebrows fly up, and her floating body is unknown. Then she saw Li Wei with an extremely resentful look.

"Cough, cough!" Li Wei also knew that what he was talking about was the truth. Having a prince would indeed help him consolidate his status. But is Bier too young and can't do it. He coughed twice, changed the subject and said, "So what should they do?"

"It's not very difficult. Your Highness redeems them and let me take them back to Bingzhou quietly. I entrusted a big sentence to make them my adopted daughters. After a few years, people talked about forgetting about this. I changed their names and sent them to the East Palace. Let them serve His Highness."

The idea was good, but Li Wei said silly: "Why should I send it back to the East Palace?"

Di Renjie just smiled and stopped talking. That means everything is indifferent.

Bier covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and then quietly said in Li Wei's ear: "Your Highness, I heard that those two little ladies have good character and good talent. Could it be that your highness is really not moved at all?"

It hits the word!

"Go! Go! Adults speak, kids don't interrupt," Li Wei pushed her away angrily.

Bier pouted her little mouth unconvincedly, thinking to herself that even Di Facao said that I could have a baby, so where is it young!

But Di Renjie's ideas were all a solution. There were not many people in Chang'an who could protect them, either they were all big bosses, and they must have concerns. Di Renjie did not have the ability to protect them, but when he went to Bingzhou, as long as he did it secretly, Helan Minzhi wanted to take revenge, but he didn't know their whereabouts and how to take revenge.

Besides, I left it to Di Renjie. If you are not at ease, don’t let anyone down. Stay in the East Palace and make my father angry.

So he said, "That's it."

Although they agreed, new questions arise again. If they want them to be Di Renjie's adopted daughter and whitewash their household registration, they must redeem the prostitute. The value of these two women is so great that they dare not think about, what is the money they have come?

It’s not that you don’t have money, but you can transfer it from the Ministry of Revenue. But the transfer of this money is not for you to open a workshop, or for you to bribe, or for you to redeem the women in the brothel.

Could it be that I ran to Xixiangyuan and Lihun Hall and told the madam that Gu is the prince, and he wants to redeem them for them, and he still wants to ask Gu for money? As long as he made the previous job, his reputation would be even worse than Helan Minzhi. What should I do? Should I borrow money from Hu Ying and others? I can't speak.
