The 274th chapter is respected and virtuous

The Yulin Guard Right Camp cannot actually cause too much storm in the capital. Even if these people are really willing to attack the palace with Li Xin, let alone whether Hou Jingde of the Zuoying will sit idly by, even if Hou Jingde doesn't care, the inner guards of the imperial city will stop them tightly.

The Imperial Guard is stationed outside the city now!

It only takes half a day to support the Imperial City!

Under the current circumstances, mutiny is unrealistic.

The reason why Li Xin said this was to let the Seventh Prince know that they already had a force in their hands, and when the capital was really in chaos, they also had the ability to adapt.

The seventh prince glanced around and lowered his voice: "Brother Xin means..."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "It's too pessimistic to have this idea now. At present, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in power, there will inevitably be ministers who will write to him. Even if there is no, the Fourth Prince will most likely cause trouble for him."

"So, we should try our best to succeed to the throne as much as possible, otherwise even if Your Highness ascends the throne, the future generations will give Your Highness a bad reputation for usurping the throne."

"We can't figure out what the father's mind is. Even if the eldest prince is deposed, no one knows who the next prince will fall on."

His Highness, the King of Wei, narrowed his eyes: "According to what his father said before, the next prince would be the third prince!"

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, these things should be considered by Your Majesty who lives in Changle Palace. Now we only need to do our own things well."

They all had to provide Zhurong wine to the Great Jin army, which was the will of Emperor Chengde.

Nowadays, only the two border troops in the north have a certain amount of Zhurong wine, which is used as medicinal wine for spare use. None of the other armies of the Jin Dynasty have such medicinal wine.

There are a total of 32 battalions of the imperial guards around the capital. Now there are 16 battalions under the command of Zhong Xuantong. The head of the Zong family had used Zhurong wine before, and the effect was very good. Now he has written to the court to ask the Ministry of War to provide Zhurong wine to the 16 battalions under his command.

The imperial guards near the capital not only want to protect the capital, but sometimes they are also responsible for tasks such as suppressing bandits, and there will inevitably be some casualties.

The Seventh Prince nodded and said, "I have already plated all the spring wine in the capital. Now I can steam about ten or twenty jars of Zhurong wine a day, which is more than enough to supply it to the Ministry of War."

"There is also the winery in the Gusu area that has been opened. It is estimated that Zhurong Wine can open all parts of the Jin Dynasty in two or three years."

Speaking of this, His Highness King Wei paused and smiled at Li Xin: "At that time, Brother Xin will become the richest man in Datongfang!"

Datongfang is located in the south of the capital city, and there are not many rich people. The Seventh Prince said this and it also makes him a bit funny.

Li Xin also smiled, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, in this situation, we must stabilize our position and do whatever we should do. The third prince is trapped in his palace and cannot move. The next step is probably the fourth prince and the crown prince collided head-on, so let's see."

The Seventh Prince has many shortcomings, such as being a little afraid of things and not decisive enough. In addition, there are many minor problems, but he has one good advantage, that is, he is good at accepting advice.

At least so far, he has mostly listened to what Li Xin said.

The Seventh Prince nodded and said, "I'll go to the Ministry of War to discuss with the Ministry of War about providing the Imperial Guard with Zhurong's wine."

Li Xin also stood up and said with a goodbye, "I want to go home too. I just moved to a new home. I guess the Ninth Princess will come over to make a lot of trouble."

His Highness the King of Wei squinted his eyes and smiled: "To be honest, you and Xiaojiu are not young anymore. After a while, I will write a letter to my father and ask him to marry you."

"If I delay for a few more months, I'm afraid..."

He wanted to say that he was afraid that Emperor Chengde would not be able to wait.

Li Xin shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "Your Highness, even if I want to get married with the Ninth Princess, I must be given a marriage by the palace, otherwise it would be duckweed on the water without any foundation. In the future, the new emperor's words will destroy my family!"

"At that time, Princess Ninth will also be dragged down by me!"

His Highness the King of Wei was shocked and then nodded slowly: "Brother Xin, what you said is that I think less."

He patted Li Xin on the shoulder and his voice was low: "Brother Xin, if the fourth brother is in charge, not only you, but I will be in danger of my life. For your and my life, let's fight hard!"

Li Xin smiled: "After all, you still have to fight for yourself, Your Highness, I can only give advice from the side and clap my hands."

His Highness the King of Wei smiled heroically: "I will go to the Ministry of War now, and I will always let my father know who is really working for the Great Jin Dynasty."

The two parted at the gate of the Wei Prince's Mansion. Li Xin returned to Datongfang, and His Highness of the Wei Prince went to the Ministry of War.

Speaking of which, the current Minister of War is Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan. However, after Li Shen was injured and took leave last time, he never went to the Ministry of War again, and he did not even attend the grand ceremony where the last time the crown prince was appointed.

Therefore, the Ministry of War is now presided over by the Right Minister Chen Zhong.

After meeting Chen Zhong, His Highness King of Wei was straightforward and explained his purpose directly.

"Mr. Chen, the effect of Zhurong wine has been confirmed by the Zhenbei Army and the Zhong Family Army. After hearing that Zhong Zheng took charge of the imperial guards, he wanted Zhurong wine to be used as medicinal wine. I was a royal family and should contribute to the Great Jin Dynasty. Now I have prepared a hundred jars of Zhurong wine. I can only send it to the imperial guards when the Ministry of War approved it."

Mr. Chen smiled bitterly and bent down at the seventh prince: "Your Highness is willing to help, so the Ministry of War is naturally happy. But yesterday... the palace gave the Ministry of War not to make such medicinal wine again, and the officials were helpless..."

"The notes in the palace..."

His Highness King Wei's face changed slightly, and he reached out and said, "Take it here and see it!"

Minister Chen had no choice but to take out a note from his sleeve and hand it to the seventh prince.

The handwriting on the note is average and the content is concise.

"Wine is the essence of the five grains, which consumes the most food and rice. Although the world's security in the Jin Dynasty is still in peace, there are still people who don't eat enough to cover their stomachs and clothes. How could the court purchase spirits on a large scale?"

"There is another section about treating wounds with strong alcohol, which is purely nonsense. The military's request for the warriors is nothing more than satisfying their own desires. The army should have banned alcohol. From today on, the Ministry of War will prohibit the purchase of strong alcohol as military supplies!"

After reading it, His Highness the King of Wei was furious.

"It's indeed the East Palace's note!"

Minister Chen was sweating heavily and lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, now the Crown Prince is the governor of the country. Please bear it..."

The seventh prince said angrily: "Crown Prince can overthrow the father's will? He has not..."

Fortunately, the Seventh Prince was quite rational. He only said three words in one sentence, but he didn't continue.

He was extremely angry, but he had no choice but to leave.

At the same time, more than a dozen censors from the Censorate began to jointly write a letter to impeach His Royal Highness the current crown prince.

These literati are naturally extremely vicious when they hurt others. They first demoted His Royal Highness the crown prince's rule over the past few days to nothing, and then shouted that the crown prince was unfilial and disobeyed His Majesty's will.

The last sentence of the memorial is even more harsh.

"The position is noble but the virtue is poor, and it is rarely enough!"

The memorials from the Censorate should have been sent directly to the emperor, but now they are the prince who supervises the country and governs the country, so these memorials are naturally sent to the East Palace.
