Heng Wang's Mansion.

The eldest prince Zhao Zheng was a little irritable and paced in the hall, his face slightly gloomy.

An old man walked in from outside the hall, Zhao Zheng raised his head, looked at him and asked, "Zhao Yi's people are visiting us frequently these days?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "On the occasion of the New Year's Festival, in order to cut off the arrogance and lasciviousness of the Beijing master, it is also common for the imperial historians to move around more frequently. ”

"Common?" Zhao Zheng snorted coldly and said, "If it's normal walking, why do they only stare at the king's people?" ”

The old man was stunned and asked, "What does Your Highness mean ......?"

Zhao Zheng looked at him and asked, "I heard that the God of Money and Wealth under Zhao Yi has bought a few gardens in Beijing in the past few days?" ”

The contradiction between the third prince and the eldest prince has long intensified and cannot be adjusted, and they will naturally pay more attention to some important people around him.

The old man nodded and said: "The Qian family already has several properties in Beijing, and it is a bit abrupt to buy these sets for no reason, the old minister has already sent someone to secretly ask the former owners of those houses, according to them, the God of Money and Wealth is interested in the value of these houses, and it is determined that there will be an improvement in the short term, and several of them are eager to use the money, and they can't wait for many days, so they get rid of it early......"

"Improved?" Zhao Zheng's voice raised and said, "I think it's a cover-up!" ”

"What does Your Highness mean......" The old man was stunned, then shook his head again, and said: "Your Highness should trust those lords, they are loyal to Your Highness, and they will never be deceived by money and betray Your Highness's ......"

"Of course I do." Zhao Zheng waved his hand and said: "I'm afraid this is another trap set by Zhao Yi, he is scheming, if this king has doubts about several adults, wouldn't it be just as he wanted?" ”

"This king is not so stupid!" He sneered and said, "Prepare a few generous gifts and send them to the mansions of those adults......

"Your Highness is wise!"

The old man arched his hand, then slowly retreated.

Zhao Zheng walked around the hall for a while, walked to the table and sat down again, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face again......

……

"I thought about it later, those mansions, it's better not to have a plaque, we can't do it deliberately, let the prince guess it himself......"

Qian Mansion, Qian Duoduo looked at the few people below, and talked eloquently: "The third prince is broad-minded, this method is useless to the three princes, but the eldest prince is narrow-minded, after this incident, even if he doesn't care on the surface, and even wants to cover up and show favor to those families, he will definitely plant a seed of doubt in his heart, as long as we persevere, water frequently, and loosen the soil, the seed of doubt in his heart will grow into a towering tree......"

"When the eldest prince no longer trusts them, it's time to test you, how to win those people under the command of the third prince, you don't need me to teach you, right?"

……

Qian Duoduo's small class ended today, and when everyone left, they all gave up their hands to the God of Money and Wealth.

"Mr. Qian's high theory!"

"There is a successor to Brother Caishen!"

"If this plan can succeed, the balance between the crown prince and the third highness will be completely broken, and at that time, the prince's identity advantage will be gone......

"Congratulations to the Third Highness first!"

……

After everyone left, the God of Money and Wealth looked at the Qian Duoduo that Zheng was holding the teapot and poured it violently, and said, "Why are you so sure that the eldest prince will definitely not trust them?" ”

Qian Duoduo smiled mysteriously: "Mountain people have their own clever plans......"

Qian Caishen narrowed his eyes and silently took off his shoes.

"Mountain people?"

"Brilliant idea?"

"I'll let you mountain people, let you have a clever plan!"

"Let you sell Guan Zi in front of Lao Tzu!"

After a little smoking, and feeling a little better, the God of Money and Wealth put on his shoes, looked at him, and said, "If there is any bad water in the stomach, pour it out together." ”

Qian Duoduo shrank in the corner, covered his head, and whispered: "Dad, this is not bad water, this is a scheme, a scheme, a scheme......"

The God of Money and Wealth silently took off his shoes again.

After a moment, the God of Money touched the short beard on his chin and fell into deep thought.

Qian Duoduo looked smug and said, "Dad, what do you think of my method?" ”

He is indeed proud in his heart, although these methods were taught to him by Brother Li, but Brother Li taught him all the strategies used in the shopping mall, after his inferences and multiple associations, they can also be used in the court to compete for power, among them, at least half of his efforts.

Qian Caishen looked at him, turned around and walked out of the door, and instructed left and right: "Invite more monks and Taoists!" ”

……

The household department, one of the six departments of the imperial court, is in charge of money and grain.

Among the six ministries, although the Ministry of Rites is the head, the Ministry of Rites has no power, and the Ministry of Officials, which is in charge of officials in the world, and the Ministry of Households, which is in charge of money and grain, are the two departments with the most real power among the six departments.

Cui Jiang, the head of the household department, has been quite worried recently, not because of the errand of the household yamen, nor because the eldest prince has lost the upper hand in the struggle for power with the third prince.

What worries him is that it is the New Year's Festival, and several imperial historians from the Imperial History Observatory come to his mansion to drink tea every once in a while, and they simply regard Cui's Mansion as their second yamen.

Although the household department is the most oily and watery yamen in the entire imperial court, everything must be told as evidence, and he can't be guarded against him like a thief because he is in charge of the household department......

I can't be reasonable with these imperial histories, don't let them in, wouldn't it be a thief, it's very likely that they will come with the forbidden army next time......

Let them come in, who doesn't know that he Cui Jiang is the eldest prince, Yushitai is almost the back garden of the third prince, this person is terrifying, people who don't know, they still think that he Cui Jiang betrayed the eldest prince and mixed with these people......

Fortunately, the eldest prince was as wise as a torch, not only did he not ask him, but also sent a generous gift, so that his hanging heart finally let go.

On this day, Cui Jiang was drinking tea in the mansion, and a housekeeper walked in, looked at him, and said, "My lord, those imperial histories are here again......

Cui Jiang didn't finish a sip of tea, and it all squirted out.

It's endless, it's endless!

Cui Jiang stood up angrily, his face was full of anger, and he strode out of the room, and when he stepped out, the anger on his face melted like ice and snow, and he arched his hand to a few people in front of him, and said, "A few adults, have you had breakfast, do you want to eat some together?" ”

One of them arched his hand to him and said, "Lord Cui is polite, I came here this time to discuss something important with Lord Cui......

Cui Jiang said with a smile: "A few adults, please come into the room and talk in detail." ”

Several people walked into the hall, and an imperial historian looked outside and said, "Carry it in." ”

Several subordinates immediately carried two large boxes in and placed them on the ground with a heavy thud.

They wiped the sweat from their foreheads and breathed a long sigh of relief before bowing down to take their leave.

Cui Jiang had a suspicious look on his face and asked, "Is this ......?"

The imperial history looked at him and said: "Lord Cui is a smart person, this official will not beat around the bush, as long as Lord Cui is willing to be loyal to the three princes, these two boxes of silver, Lord Cui can laugh at it today." ”

Cui Jiang's face changed, and his voice immediately turned cold, "What do you mean by this!" ”

The man smiled slightly: "Master Cui is a smart person and understands what this official means. ”

Cui Jiang sneered, "This official is loyal to His Majesty, and he is also loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, a few of you go back, please tell the third prince this sentence, if the third prince becomes the prince, don't use these, this official will also be loyal to him!" ”

That Yushi's face sank, "Lord Cui really doesn't accept it?" ”

Cui Jiang was resolute: "Don't accept it!" ”

……

That Yushi looked at him, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, waved his hand, and said, "Open it." ”

The two people behind him opened the box, and Cui Jiang glanced at it, his expression stunned.

Where is the gold in the chest, it is clearly two huge stones!

The imperial history smiled, arched his hand and said: "Master Cui is in a high position, he is not confused by heavy profits, he is really a model for my generation, admire, admire!" ”

Cui Jiang was confused: "You guys, what does this mean?" ”

"There is nothing wrong with being in the court, not being able to help yourself, and each for its own master. We just received an anonymous report, some people said that Lord Cui likes to accept bribes on weekdays, and fake public and private ......" The imperial history looked at him, then looked at a few people behind him, and said with a smile: "You see, such a heavy profit is unmoved, it is enough to show that Lord Cui is an honest official, and in the future, don't listen to rumors and slander loyalty!" ”

The person behind him immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is taught!" ”

"I take the liberty to bother, and I hope Lord Cui won't be surprised." When Cui Jiang was still in doubt, the imperial history looked at him and said with a smile: "These stones, it's inconvenient to move around, just stay here, Master Cui will let people deal with it......"

Cui Jiang stood in the hall, looked at the two boxes containing stones, waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Inexplicable......"
