Splendid concubine

Chapter 158
Because the second prince hated the matter of the seventh prince who plotted against him before, it is naturally impossible to say anything good. However, when the second prince left, he deliberately pulled a few doctors from Yushitai to testify. It's the kind of upright person who will never tell lies. If you pull them over, no matter who they are, they will be convinced.

The emperor chatted with several ministers for a while, then turned his head to look at the seventh prince standing there, his expression changed from yin to yang, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he also knew that this bastard must be secretly praying that the porridge was watery Yes, but he was really wrong. Although the emperor has always disliked the prince, the prince is still very down-to-earth in doing things, but he doesn't know how to adapt.

"Let me ask you, do you know where all the refugees are coming from this year?" The emperor ignored the question that the seventh prince had just answered, right?Another question came up.

The Seventh Prince slowly had cold sweat on his forehead, "This probably comes from, um, the Jingchu area."

There was a smile of unknown meaning on the emperor's face, and the ministers in the court were also talking about it, and the seventh prince felt that he must have answered wrong.

"It should be from the Qilu area!" The seventh prince replied immediately with more cold sweat on his forehead.

In fact, I can't blame the Seventh Prince. After all, the Seventh Prince has just entered the court, so I don't know about these things, and no one mentions him.

Because every prince, when he first entered the court, the emperor had to ask some questions related to the people's livelihood. Although the emperor was mediocre, he was well-behaved. It is about people's livelihood.

With a sneer, the emperor continued to ask: "When your elder brothers entered the court, I also asked many questions in succession. Today, let me take this opportunity to test you!"

The Seventh Prince certainly didn't dare to say no, "Father, just ask."

The emperor sneered, and began to ask: "Do you know when the crops are planted and harvested? What is planted in each place, and how much grain can be harvested in a year?"

"Crops are planted in spring and harvested in autumn." The Seventh Prince still knows.

However, it is not clear how much food is produced in each place, but the Seventh Prince still bit the bullet and covered it up.

"One mu of land can produce about a thousand catties of grain!"

"One thousand catties? What kind of food is it?" The emperor's eyes widened, and he looked at the seventh prince.

The Seventh Prince replied very loudly: "Of course it's rice."

"I would like to know what kind of rice it is?" the emperor asked.

"It's the blue and white rice we usually eat, right?" The Seventh Prince hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly.

"Tell him, sixth son, what is it like?" The emperor nodded to the sixth prince.

The seventh prince offended the sixth prince before, and the sixth prince was looking forward to having such an opportunity to be humiliated, and said quickly: "The refugees this year are all from the North, and the Jingchu and Qilu regions are major food-producing regions. , the weather is good, and it is not easy to encounter disaster years. As for what to grow in each place? The north mainly grows wheat, the south mainly grows rice, and some places in the west grow highland barley. How much grain is harvested in a year? If the year is good, harvesting five hundred catties of grain per mu is pretty good. If the year is not good, then you can’t say it’s worth a thousand catties of grain. Xiaoqi, if you can really produce a thousand catties of grain per mu , then you will be the emperor's throne from now on."

The seventh prince was not a fool, so he could hear the sarcasm in the sixth prince's tone, with a pale face, he dared not speak.

"I will send you to Huangzhuang now, and divide a piece of land, and you will give me a thousand catties of grain from one acre of land."

The emperor sneered, "Let me ask you again, do you know what else is produced in the south besides tea?"

"Silk silk satin." The seventh prince answered very loudly, but then he heard the tittering of the sixth prince. The seventh prince realized that he might have answered wrong again, and was sweating profusely.

"Idiot, sugar cane and rapeseed flowers, rapeseed flowers can be used to extract oil, don't you know!" The sixth prince observed the emperor's face, saw that the emperor did not stop himself from speaking out, and laughed at the seventh prince.

"Then I'll ask you again, do you know how silk is produced?" Although the emperor had no expectations for the seventh prince, he still asked.

"I know this. Silk is produced by silkworms." The Seventh Prince answered very loudly, feeling that he had finally answered a question correctly.

"What do the silkworms eat?" The emperor asked again and again.

"Of course I ate silkworm leaves." The seventh prince was a little uncertain. No one really taught him this. He was in the cold palace, and the servants didn't want to talk to her. When he arrived at the court, no one taught him. How did he know about these things? .

"Idiot, of course it's mulberry leaves. Huangkou children know it all, but you don't know. I really don't know how old you are." The sixth prince mocked unceremoniously.

"Forget it, I won't ask any more, I understand that you have accomplished nothing, Xiaoqi, I am so disappointed in you, so I still feel guilty, I feel that I didn't take good care of you, and let you suffer in the cold palace , but in Tai Academy, every prince goes there, you alone can't learn well, have you ever seen your brothers, when you first entered the court, you didn't answer any questions I asked wrong, that's it , sometimes I would be disgusted by me, let alone you? If you framed your elder brother today, I will not bother with you. When your second elder brother comes back, I will see what you say." The emperor said angrily.

However, the Seventh Prince felt that he could still be saved, so he hurriedly said to the emperor: "Father, in fact, I came to the court today to share his worries. Didn't Miss Bizhu from Southern Xinjiang say that she would marry the second brother? Second brother has a sweetheart, Miss Bizhu is very unhappy, now I ask you to marry Miss Bizhu to me, so that second brother and father can share their worries."

"Let's talk about this matter at that time!" The emperor is not very interested in this, but it is just a small country in southern Xinjiang, can it turn the world upside down?
The second prince was left to his precious daughter.

The seventh prince quickly looked at the sixth prince, saw the mockery on the sixth prince's face, and quickly called out: "Sixth brother, why did you frame me? Is it because I arranged for people from Southern Xinjiang to live in a post station and drove your people out?" Now, you will hate me?"

"Are you stupid? Why did your sixth brother frame you? Any child who knows how to answer this? How did it become your sixth brother who framed you? Wait, you said that you arranged for people from southern Xinjiang to live in the post, and put you Brother Six's people have been kicked out?"

Speaking of which, the emperor looked at the sixth prince, who hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Father, would you like to listen to my explanation?"

"I was going to ask you to say it, so say it quickly." The emperor said eagerly.

"Before the emperor asked his ministers to send people to suppress the bandits. As a result, on the way back from the suppression of the bandits, when staying at the inn, they were robbed by the people from Nanjiang. The seventh brother asked my people to drive out and let the people from Nanjiang live Come in." The sixth prince, please say that it is on the right track, anyway, the emperor will go to check it out, so it is not good to lie and exaggerate at this time.

"Isn't it the way for your people to suppress bandits in Xiangxi?" the emperor asked in surprise.

"Exactly." The sixth prince had nothing to say.

"If you missed it, you missed it. People in Nanjing should have taken water, why did they take land, why did they go by land? Also, the Bizhu you said to go to southern Xinjiang, did you fall in love with her and join her?" The sixth prince asked urgently.

The seventh prince didn't know what medicine the sixth prince took wrongly today, so he kept targeting him like this. It's not that the servants have no place to live, and it's not that they don't have money to stay in the inn. The sixth brother is the richest among the brothers.

Looking at the confused face of the seventh prince, the sixth prince gritted his teeth and said, "You have caused a disaster, do you know that?"

"What? It's just to complete what the father asked, why did I get into trouble?" The seventh prince was very unconvinced.

"If you knew, you wouldn't be so stupid." The sixth prince mocked.

"Okay, he's stupid anyway, you have to tell him, you know in your heart that I'm still happy." The emperor stopped the sixth prince.

Even though the Seventh Prince scratched his head, he didn't dare to ask what was going on?Thinking secretly, Bi Zhu, this bitch is really a bad woman, and she even tempted him to do something wrong.

At this time, the second prince came back with his people. As soon as a few censors came in, they looked at the seventh prince with a bad face. The seventh prince's heart skipped a beat. Well, big brother really has nothing to say in this regard, the porridge is so thick that every refugee can drink it, and big brother even set up many tents for those refugees to keep them warm, which is very good. "

Several censors also echoed.

"Okay Xiaoer, you really are a big guy. You don't have a good relationship with your elder brother. It's fair to be able to speak for him. Why don't you go to Yushitai to work in the future!" The emperor praised.

"Father, don't embarrass me, I am such a clumsy tongue, how can I work with the adults of Yushitai!" The second prince said quickly.

Today, he deliberately designed the Seventh Prince. He knew that the Seventh Prince had offended the Sixth Prince. There has never been anyone around the Seventh Prince who taught him, but yesterday he arranged for someone to fall in front of the Seventh Prince's carriage. The Seventh Prince naturally and that person When I got acquainted, the man cried and complained that he was a refugee and couldn't get enough to eat outside the city. The porridge was clear soup, and he escaped from the Jingchu area. He also said how miserable the Jingchu area was.

Naturally, the seventh prince thought that what the refugee said was right, and all the princes would be interrogated by their father when they entered the court.

If the Seventh Prince came to court today, he would naturally be asked about it.

And the seventh prince knew that the prince was not doing well, so naturally he came to the court in high spirits.

In the Taiyuan Academy, it was not his business. The Seventh Prince's life in the Taiyuan Academy was average, even inferior to the royal family, so he felt very inferior and stopped going to school.

The emperor has never cared much about the Taiyuan Academy, so he never knew that the Seventh Prince ran away from the Taiyuan Academy to practice martial arts.
