Zhumen Hangui

"No wonder there has been less and less mining in recent months. He has the guts to spend so much on a gold mine that has only been mined for a year. Just checked the account books, and there is a loss of more than 100 million stones! "

The emperor knocked on the case, with an expression of disappointment that couldn't be concealed.

"The ones that have been handed down are only a part, and some of them may have been privately cast into gold on the spot and passed on."

The emperor sighed, he really didn't expect this son to be so greedy.

Su Yizhao felt that the prince didn't have the guts to say so much, but he must have been greedy.

Since the gold mine is in charge, who can resist not intervening?It's just that so many ores have disappeared, and while the black hands behind the scenes benefited, they also eradicated the prince.

Thinking of the news she asked Meng Yi and the others to inquire about a few days ago, those people were very secretive, and all they threw out were bait.

"Su Aiqing, tell me, why did the crown prince do this? I have already said that gold mines are very important."

Ever since Su Yizhao entered the imperial study, the emperor has been complaining until now.

Su Yizhao was very puzzled. Did the emperor call her here just to find someone to listen to his complaints?
Then Xu Luo can do it?The mouth is still tight, let alone calculating.

"Your Majesty, maybe there is some misunderstanding?" Su Yizhao didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him in this way.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding can there be? Although the account books are checked by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, didn't he check them first before that? Wouldn't he not know that there were so many gold ores missing? This is just in the account books. There are no records, and I don’t know how many more.”

As the emperor said, he suddenly turned to look at Su Yizhao.

"Recently, the censor impeached the border pass. Recently, some people secretly traded each other. Many horses from the feudal kingdom flowed into the pass, and then disappeared. Where do you think those horses went?"

Su Yizhao was startled, and suddenly thought of Zong Zeming.

"Do you think this matter will be related to the prince?"

Su Yizhao thought about what the emperor meant. Shouldn't such a big event be discussed in the court?Why talk about it with her, a small Imperial Academy?

"I think that before this matter is found out, it cannot be classified, and it is better to find out."

The emperor must have looked at Su Yizhao for a long while, and then said: "That's right, I have sent the minister of Dali Temple and imperial envoys to supervise the case."

"Su Aiqing, if the prince really did it, what is he going to do?"

The meaning of the emperor's words could not be more obvious, Su Yizhao immediately thought of treason.

But will the prince really conspire against him?Su Yizhao didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, I think that before the truth is found out, blind suspicion will only deepen the misunderstanding. It's better to relax and wait until the truth is found out."

Su Yizhao didn't understand that the crown prince was the son of the middle palace, even if the former emperor had said that the east palace would be for the capable ones, but since ancient times it has been passed on to the heir and not to the elder.

What's more, the prince is still the eldest son, no matter how you say it, it is justified.

Even though the prince's qualifications are mediocre, the emperor's dislike for the prince seems to be more obvious.

However, perhaps because of the influence of the Empress Empress and her natal family, there is no doubt that the emperor was tolerant to the prince before.

The emperor pondered for a moment when he heard the words, "You are right, let's talk about this matter after we find out!"

Su Yizhao couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted her for, it was getting late now, and she had to go back to the mansion before the palace was locked.

"Su Aiqing, the small countries outside the pass have been rampant in recent years and have repeatedly invaded. Although it is only a small temptation, they have been strengthening their troops. I am afraid that there will be war sooner or later. What do you think about this?"

"Your Majesty, if the sea market is about to open, the ministers will feel that the opening of the mutual market will be beneficial to all countries. But once the sea market is established, the imperial court will devote several times more troops to the navy than before. This has already aggravated the burden on the troops."

Su Yizhao originally thought that cross-border trading was feasible, but when he thought of internal and external troubles and double-sided attacks, he immediately rejected this idea.

"In this way, the mutual market at the border is not feasible. What's more, those barbarians have become accustomed to plundering over the years. Even if there is a mutual market, they will continue to harass the people at the border. In this way, the maintenance of the border will definitely increase the number of troops. .”

"Su Aiqing's words are reasonable. I have always felt that those barbarians hide brutality in their bones. They are used to getting something for nothing. How can they earn wealth and food honestly through labor?"

The emperor deeply believed that the border mutual market must not be opened.

"If the sea market and the border crossing trade are carried out at the same time, that is also a big hidden danger. As for those small countries that harass the border from time to time, I think they are testing.

Guarding the border requires strong generals. Although the border soldiers are brave and good at fighting, they will still be a little tired if things go on like this. "

The Dayun Dynasty was the same as the Wu Dynasty, emphasizing literature over military affairs, and the status of military generals was far inferior to that of civil officials.

"Then you mean to select generals?"

The emperor first thought of military examinations to become an official. However, although the military examinations were not as frequent as the imperial examinations, they were taken every five years, which was much better than during the Wu Dynasty.

During the heyday of the Wu Dynasty, because it was a peaceful and prosperous age and the people were rich, they did not pay much attention to martial arts.

"It is beneficial to the imperial court to recruit sages. In addition, if you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down at home. The people's lives are prosperous, and the people's aspirations are stable. Only then can the government be consistent with the outside world."

What Su Yizhao meant was to forget about the foreign races, and get to the bottom of the court affairs!
Leaving so many princes in the capital will only cause moths.

Don't play around in circles if you fancy anyone, just make him the prince, drive the other princes to the fief, and let Chao Gang stabilize first.

If he is indecisive, there will be a bloody battle when the imperial power changes.

"If the government is unstable and the foreign races have an opportunity to take advantage of it, won't they be disintegrated from the inside if they provoke more at that time?"

As soon as Su Yizhao finished speaking, a stern light flashed in the emperor's eyes.

"You dare to say it!" He suddenly snorted coldly, this kid is really courageous.

He also wants to stabilize, but the time is not yet ripe.

"I was also thinking about the matter of martial arts before, but I still have to come up with a detailed charter for this matter. The system of the Wu Dynasty is no longer suitable for this dynasty. What an idle person."

Su Yizhao was very surprised, the emperor would really reform martial arts?That gave a lot of people a chance.

Military generals are promoted the fastest. Nowadays, most of those in important positions are hereditary, and some are recommended by officials.

As long as the martial arts are reformed, more people will be given opportunities.

"You go back and draw up a charter, and then I will hand it over to the Ministry of Rites and the cabinet for discussion."

Hmm. Is this another job for me?Su Yizhao suddenly felt a little guilty.

After finishing the business, although Su Yizhao felt that the emperor didn't seek her for this matter, he also thought of resigning.

It was getting late and her stomach was already growling.

Your Majesty, are you not hungry?It's better to finish your meal early and rest early!

Having such a model worker emperor is quite cruel to officials.

When silence fell in the imperial study room and Xu Luo came forward to light the lamp, Su Yizhao tiptoed, ready to leave.

"Su Aiqing, you said that if one day you are controlled by someone and that person forces you to do something you don't like, what should you do?"
