Chapter 634 The Prince's Victory

The person who impeached the crown prince was not an ordinary person, but Zhao Shangjiao, the chief censor. During the Later Tang Dynasty, he became an official and had several dynasties. Now he is nearly 70 years old. Zhao Shangjiao likes gardens and flowers, and his salary is used to buy precious flowers and plants. Every time he rests, he invites friends and students to wander among the flowers, recite poems and essays, which is so cool.

It is hard to imagine that this person actually wrote a letter to ask the prince to be thrifty, which seems a bit ironic!

Ye Hua walked in front and Qi Tongwen followed behind. The old man's eyes turned. Although he was a slut, his brothers and even his disciples had passed the imperial examination and became officials.

Whoever really treats Qi Tongwen as easy to bully will be crazy!

"Mr. Marquis, the old man who is a common man, can climb to the Golden Palace and talk about national affairs is really thanks to the Marquis. In today's court, the useless man who is like Zhao's servants should really retreat... I want to defeat him!"

Ye Hua smiled, "Mr. Qi is so brave, I will hold you in the battle!"

Qi Tongwen's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.

With Ye Hua's words, he was relieved. The two had completed the division of labor. Ye Hua was responsible for dealing with other people's attacks. Qi Tongwen focused on dealing with Zhao Shangjiao. Of course, Lao Qi had two students, Guo Xingge and Guo Zongxun, but he didn't know how powerful these two little things could be...

Soon, they arrived at the Golden Palace. Because they implicated the prince, all the good friends came. At this moment, all the good friends were very embarrassed. Chai Rong had already released the news and wanted to change the Political Affairs Hall to the cabinet for consultation!

These four words are no less than the sky and the earth moving, and the sun and the moon are bleak!

The prime minister was the head of all the right officials. He commanded the Political Affairs Hall and held the seal under the Secretary of the Central Committee. He set up a Sherenyuan under the Political Affairs Hall, and had an imperial edict or a direct sherenyuan, which was responsible for writing edicts. He also set up five rooms including Kongmu, officials, households, military rituals and punishments, and divided the Cao to handle affairs.

To be honest, Zhengshitang is a small court. They can manage everything the emperor can do, but it is just a difference in size.

However, usually, the court mostly deals with small matters and few big matters, so the prime minister is responsible for daily affairs and has very, very heavy authority!

Especially with peace in the world, many arrogant and domineering generals dare not compete with the prime minister, otherwise they can make you feel uncomfortable for a while and you can't tell if you have any pain.

However, when you were demoted from the Political Affairs Hall to the Cabinet, your husbands were embarrassed.

They no longer directly govern the officials, but only serve as the emperor's adviser to make suggestions. The emperor can adopt or refuse. As for the officials of the court, they may no longer take them seriously...

"The bad things are broken by Ye Hua. He is the one who has such a ghost idea!"

Wei Renpu was very sure because His Majesty wanted to abolish the Privy Council and the Three Departments. At that time, the three provinces and six ministries were restored, and the status of the officials of the Political Affairs Hall would be further improved, and there would be no warriors in the court.

Ye Hua was so bad. Seeing the crisis, he encouraged His Majesty to change the cabinet and drag the civil servants into the water!

Your Majesty wants to make arbitrary decisions, how could he refuse?

If we don’t give Ye Hua some colors, we will not have a good life!

Old Zhao, don’t worry, rush forward boldly!

Ye Hua instigated the prince to do evil, which was to hide evil intentions. As long as you shot the first shot, we would have a steady stream of support. Maybe the death of the queen and the imperial concubine could be placed on Ye Hua's head and make him completely fall.

Old Zhao, come on!

Inspired by many important officials, Zhao Shangjiao was full of confidence and set foot on the battlefield.

"I heard from Your Majesty. The old minister found out that since half a month ago, the vegetable market in Beijing has destroyed fruits and vegetables every day. On the most day, twenty cartons of watermelons were thrown away, and tens of thousands of them were thrown away! Many people cherished tears. Throughout history, they have been wasting natural resources. Nothing like this!" Zhao Shangjiao said again: "The people cherished them. Some people wanted to pick them up, but they didn't allow them. They even dug holes and buried them, sprinkled with lime... Let me ask, did I have the three generations of rule of great things and people in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Is there a mountain of gold and silver that can be spent? Guanjunhou, as the prince's army and the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace, this is how you teach the prince? Why are you a role model? How can you stand in the court?"

Lao Zhao was really powerful, so he almost forced Ye Hua to commit suicide and apologize.

He tried hard to attack, but Ye Hua's eyelids were rolling up and he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The mere censor, the chief censor, doesn't need me to take action, it's enough to have students.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Shangjia finished speaking, Brother Guo Xing became angry, "Zhao Zhongcheng, you must have a basis for your speech. I admit that it was because of throwing away the watermelon, but this matter was a reasonable decision we discussed with the officials of the wholesale market. It has nothing to do with the Champion Hou. Why did you blame the Champion Hou for the charge?"

"His Royal Highness Shang!"

Zhao Shangjiao sternly said: "A porridge and meal should be thought of as hard as it is hard to come by, and every trace of material resources is always difficult. The Master emphasized that benevolent people love things, and those who ruled the country should cherish the people's strength. Emperor Wen of Han could not bear to waste a hundred gold to build a palace. He was called a wise king in all dynasties. Tens of thousands of watermelons, at least hundreds of trumpets, right? He was thrown away casually, and there were so many vegetables, and more than a hundred gold was wasted? His Highness, the King of Shang, don't you know how to be ashamed?"

Brother Guo Xing rolled his eyes, "I'm short-sighted and useless. You only see what you throw away, have you ever thought about making more money?"

"What does it mean?" Old Zhao glared. Although he was a royal prince, he dared to insult the important officials of the dynasty. You think you are Ye Hua!

"His Highness of Shang, listen to you, is it because of hoarding goods and raising prices? If so, the crime is probably even greater!" Zhao Shangjiao immediately said to Chai Rong: "I beg your Majesty to send a specialist to investigate this matter thoroughly and give an explanation to the court and the people. Otherwise, the prince and the Shang king will do anything wrong, and everyone will waste it. The future of my Great Zhou is worrying!"

Zhao Shangshuo's words received praise from many people. Although there is some suspicion of making a big deal, it is still necessary to prevent problems from happening.

Chai Rong heard that they had a quarrel for a long time and finally spoke.

"Crown Prince, I know that you have gone to the countryside more than once these days. After you come back, you ordered the destruction of vegetables and fruits. What do you think?"

Suddenly being named by his father, Guo Zongxun's face turned pale and subconsciously hid behind his uncle, looking very panicked. Qi Tongwen coughed, "Your Highness, since the saint has asked, just say truthfully that you have done a lot of things these days!"

Brother Guo Xing also said: "That's right, Your Highness, let this old fool see how powerful you are!"

After receiving encouragement, Guo Zongxun finally said with courage: "There are too many watermelons, too many watermelons, and those who cannot sell at the price can't make money."

"So it's going to be destroyed?" Chai Rong pondered.

"Well, throw away the watermelon, and the remaining good watermelon can be sold for three times the price!"

"Oh!" Chai Rong had sold tea. He instantly understood what his son meant. He couldn't help but walk to the prince, suppressed his excitement, and asked, "Son, do you mean that there are too many watermelons and are afraid that the grain will hurt the farmers, so he wants to destroy them?"

The prince nodded vigorously.

"It's not just watermelon, but also those vegetables, which is the same?"

The prince said, "Yes, the rotten vegetables must be thrown away, otherwise it will drag down the price of vegetables. The vegetables cannot be sold at the price. The farmers have to travel to the capital for dozens of miles. It is too hard and they have to pay for it. Father, they all live in very broken thatched huts, which are even more broken than Mr.'s bamboo house!"

The little prince's words were a little jumping, but Chai Rong touched his forehead happily, and then said to Qi Tongwen: "Mr. Qi, you should talk carefully!"

Qi Tongwen nodded. He first talked about the process of buying vegetables in Beijing, and then changed the subject. "Your Majesty, the minor officials in the market are like Zhao Zhongcheng. They think that vegetables, fruits and melons are hard-earned and must be sold out. Even if a truck of vegetables is only sold for a few cents, it is better than nothing!"

Qi Tongwen slanted Zhao Shang's eyes with the corner of his eyes. Seeing that the old guy's face was unchanging, he sneered and continued to say calmly: "The officials are reluctant to throw them away, and the vegetable farmers also think that it is a little bit of it that can be sold... But they forgot that it is these rotten vegetables and rotten watermelons that have dragged down the price of all vegetables!"

A car of vegetables of poor quality and different sizes may only be sold for ten or twenty cents, but if you choose carefully, you can choose half of the dishes.

In comparison, a car of good dishes costs 100 ci, 200 ci, which is ten times the price

In the restaurants and restaurants in Beijing, except for the top ones, they almost buy some rotten vegetables... If they buy rotten vegetables, the good vegetables will not be sold at the price, and there are more damaged vegetable farmers!

"Your Majesty, during these days, the vegetable market destroyed twenty trucks of rotten vegetables every day. It turned out that a truck of vegetables had increased to 300 cents... The farmers made more than double the profit per truck. The farmers worked hard and finally got rewards, and they were all excited."

Qi Tongwen explained the truth clearly, and there were no fools in the Golden Palace, so everyone could understand it. Zhao Shangjiao made random criticisms without careful study, which was really unreasonable.

Of course, Lao Zhao was not the one who easily admits defeat. He shook his head, "It's indeed the kind of hoarding goods! Why don't you raise the price of vegetable to 500 ci and 1,000 ci? The cheap grains hurt farmers, and the expensive grains hurt the people! You only have vegetable farmers in your eyes, what should the people in the capital do?"

Qi Tongwen chuckled, "This is wrong! Do you know what the most cost of vegetable vendors in Beijing? Tell you that they are renting shops and stalls, hiring laborers. Moreover, rotten vegetables are full of food, which affects the sales of vegetable vendors. Now the vegetable prices have increased, and the sales have also increased. The retail vegetable prices have increased by about 10%. Although the people in Beijing have some complaints, they are still acceptable."

"It sounds nice!" Zhao Shangjiao said politely: "How many poor people are there in this capital? The prices of vegetables are now unaffordable. Wouldn't they be even more unaffordable? Do you want to starve them to death?"

"No!" Guo Zongxun suddenly said: "We have thought of a way to give vegetable coupons to the poor!"

"Young son, what did you say?"

"Father, the gentleman and his uncle discussed it. They took out some money from the profits of the vegetable market, specially purchased vegetables, and then sold them to the real poor people in the capital at a low price." Guo Zongxun said seriously: "It took us three months to let everyone have vegetables!"
