Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

As soon as Zhu Cihong said this, Jiuxi was happy, but the female official of Queen Zhou and the Monk Food Bureau on the side was stunned.

What do you mean?

Which one did the prince make?

Especially the female official of the Shangshi Bureau, she knew in her heart that the price of the eggs was outrageous, and she also knew that the Shangshan Supervisor and Guanglu Temple had joined forces to embezzle the meal fee, but the Shangshi Lord of the Shangshi Bureau did not dare to offend these two yamen easily, and when the time came, she told the queen the truth, but if His Majesty did not pursue it, then the life of the Shangshi Bureau would not be easy in the future.

After all, Guanglu Siqing is a member of the Sanpin, and this Shangshan Superintendent is also the godson of Wang Dehua, the chief of the ceremonial supervisor, and the Shangshi Bureau cannot afford to offend.

But the prince really stunned her when she came out, did the prince really think that eggs were cheap for twenty taels of silver?

It's not really that easy to deceive, is it?

"Back to His Royal Highness, the slave maid is the chief Bingbi of the ceremonial supervisor, the godson of Wang Dehua's father-in-law, and the slave and maid recommended by his old man and His Majesty to serve as the palm seal of the Shangshan supervisor."

Jiuxi immediately smiled happily.

"Yes, Wang Dehua really recommends people well, and the palace also values him, and what other godsons he has, all of them will be praised, and the palace will praise them one by one."

When Zhu Cihong heard Jiuxi say this name, he suddenly felt that someone had a little impression in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, isn't this Wang Dehua the eunuch who opened the Desheng Gate for Li Zicheng in the original history.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly burst into murderous intent, but he suddenly asked with a smile.

"Shanxi Supervisor Yan Siyin is also his old man's godson."

Jiuxi smiled again.

"Qiu Zhizhong."

Zhu Cihong suddenly put away his smile.

"The slave is here."

Qiu Zhizhong immediately stepped forward.

"How much does an egg cost on the market?"

Zhu Cihong asked with a flat face.

"Seven hundred taels of silver."

Qiu Zhizhong knew from beginning to end that it was impossible for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be deceived at all, and if he wanted to deceive His Royal Highness the Prince, how could this be possible.

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Jiuxi's face who was standing on the side disappeared instantly, and he turned his head to look at Qiu Zhizhong.

"Then why does Shang Shan Jian have twenty-one eggs?"

Zhu Cihong asked again.

When Qiu Zhizhong heard this, he didn't answer immediately, he actually didn't know whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to knock on the people of Shangshan Jian and Guanglu Temple, or what he wanted, his next answer would play a key role.

If His Royal Highness just wants to knock it, then he will undoubtedly offend high-ranking officials inside and outside the country if he tells the truth, but when he thinks of His Royal Highness the Prince's methods, it is impossible to just knock it, otherwise there is no need to ask so much trouble.

Ignoring Jiuxi's threatening eyes, Qiu Zhizhong said directly.

"Back to Your Highness, maybe the eggs of the Shangshan Supervisor are golden eggs, so it costs twenty-one taels."

Qiu Zhizhong smiled directly, if he was really afraid of the other party's threat before, but now, there is only one person he is afraid of, and that is His Royal Highness the Prince.

"What do you think, why do you have twenty-one eggs from the Shang Shan Prison?"

Zhu Cihong turned his head to look at the female official of the Shang Food Bureau again.

"Slaves... The meals in the palace were all purchased by the Shangshan Supervisor and Guanglu Temple, and the slaves and maids were really unclear. The

female officer of the Shangshi Bureau glanced at Jiuxi, hesitated for a moment, and then replied.

"Qiu Zhizhong, send someone to buy an identical egg."

Zhu Cihong sighed, picked up the last red egg on the plate, threw it to Qiu Zhizhong, and then closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Yes."

Qiu Zhizhong took the eggs, immediately came to the outside of Kunning Palace, and ordered a Jinyi lieutenant to buy eggs, and said: "One or two silver, how many such eggs can you buy, come back and report truthfully."

Jiuxi's face was a little ugly, and Qiu Zhizhong didn't know if he was on the road, so he ordered someone to buy eggs, as long as he deliberately explained it, he could be fooled.

When the queen saw this, she also felt that something was wrong, she wanted to reduce the expenses of the harem every day, but she didn't expect to be deceived like this.

Looking at the prince who closed his eyes and recuperated, she also became more and more unable to see through, and always felt that her son had changed since he was imprisoned and became less kind than before.

"Son, come over here."

The queen patted Zhu Cihong's hand and whispered.

Zhu Cihong opened his eyes and followed the queen into the inner hall, and said with a smile: "Mother, what's the matter?" "

This Shang Shan Jian and Guanglu Temple are greedy for some food money, forget it, just knock it out, after all, the food in our palace is provided by them, if they are all offended, then they will inevitably not be resentful, when the time comes..."

Queen Zhou did not finish speaking, but the meaning was obvious.

That means that if they are in charge of the food in the palace, and if they get resentful and do something in the food, then it will be terrible.

"It's the tenth year of Chongzhen, and nothing is more terrible than the seventeenth year of Chongzhen."

Zhu Cihong's face was calm, and he said something that the queen couldn't understand, and then held the queen's hand again, and said calmly: "Mother rest assured, everything is taken care of by the son, since I have picked out the matter, there will be no future troubles."

"Let's take a step back, then these cheap slaves will be even more inch-inch, this time it can be twenty-one eggs, then next time it can be forty-one two."

When the queen heard this, her face also changed slightly, what this meant was that her son was going to kill again, and he had just killed more than 800 people on his front foot, and he didn't know how many people he would kill this time.

She wanted to open her mouth to persuade her, but she didn't know how to open her mouth, because she knew that she couldn't persuade her.

"I don't want you to do too much murder."

The queen sighed one last and walked straight into the room.

"I don't believe that."

Zhu Cihong suddenly laughed, the sky regards all things as dogs, just as people don't care about the battle of underground ants.

Only when people's hearts are fragile can they have religious beliefs, and his Zhu Cihong's heart is not fragile, and he will not have any guilt when he kills these ugly house slaves.

"Your Highness, the minister spent a tael of silver to buy seven hundred red eggs."

After a while, several Jinyi lieutenants walked into Kunning Palace with seven or eight baskets.

Zhu Cihong walked out, picked up an egg from the basket, and sat back at the table.

"Your Highness's forgiveness!"

Jiuxi immediately knelt on the ground, he thought that His Royal Highness was easy to deceive, but he didn't expect it to be such a big bend, the position of this palm print just sat up, and it was going to come down again, hey.

"This palace only discussed with the cabinet ministers yesterday, there are disasters everywhere, and now the treasury can't even take out the disaster relief money, and you still have to pay twenty taels to buy an egg, how many times did you earn?"

Zhu Cihong picked up the spoon and said while drinking white porridge.

"Your Highness, this is the case with all the food supervisors, and the slaves and maids have been like this since they took office, and the slaves and maids can't break the rules."

Jiuxi lowered his head and said: "Besides, the imperial food in the palace, the process is naturally not comparable to the people. "

Go buy an egg, what is the process of boiling it?"

Zhu Cihong paused for a moment with the spoon in his hand, glanced at Jiuxi who was kneeling on the ground out of the corner of his eye, his tone suddenly became cold, and said, "Could it be that everyone will collect money if they take it?" "

The slave didn't say that."

Jiuxi's forehead is close to the ground, and now Wang Dehua is deeply loved by His Majesty, this matter was discovered by His Royal Highness, at most, this Shangshan supervisor's palm print is not done, and then another errand will be the same.

"One tael of silver has changed from seven hundred to three hundred, four hundred, this palace is still acceptable, but twenty taels of silver is one, you are playing this palace as a monkey."

Zhu Cihong drank the last bit of white porridge in the bowl, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Also, Hongu doesn't like the way you speak."

"Sun Hao!"

"Wechen is here!"

"Shangshan Supervisor Palm Seal Jiuxi, embezzlement of public funds, Master of Ceremonies Bingbi Wang Dehua masterminded corruption, Shanxi Supervisor Yan Siyin collaborated with corruption, capital crime!"

Zhu Cihong suddenly sneered: "Go and lock Wang Dehua up immediately, escort him to the door of Shangshan Prison, and whip him to death!" "

Command!"

After Sun Hao received the order, he immediately led the people and rushed outside.

"Your

Highness, this..." Jiuxi's face finally changed greatly, he never expected that His Highness would be so cruel, isn't it just to eat a little difference, and it is not his mastermind, Shang Shanjian has always been like this, he is just going with the flow of benefits, and Yan Siyin is in Shanxi, how can he coordinate corruption?

And who is Wang Dehua, the chief of the ceremonial supervisor, it can be said that he is above 10,000 people, except for His Majesty the Emperor, who dares to dispose of him, who can dispose of him!

Even the queen will not easily offend the chief of the celebrant and the chief bingbi, and she will give face and smile!
