Chapter 100 Beating the Ninth Prince
"Not outrageous!?"
Li Chen smiled so much that he was so angry.
"You are used to eating and eating in a good manner. Why don't you eat meat? I ask you, do you still remember the source of this sentence?"
The ninth prince immediately replied: "Remember, this is hundreds of years ago when Emperor Hui of Jin was facing the famine in the country and the people had no rice to eat. He asked if there was no rice to eat, why not eat meat minced?"
"It means...it means that this person does not know the sufferings of the world and lacks cognition."
"You haven't studied in vain."
Li Chen snorted coldly and said, "Since the common shed for the disaster victims is just an ordinary shed to avoid the cold, there is no need to pay attention to any material and workmanship. It can shelter from wind and rain. How much money does it cost?"
"You said that the price of grain soared is barely about the point, but even if you count this expenditure, you will never need to have as much as 600,000 taels."
After saying that, Li Chen took the pen and changed the required amount to 100,000 taels in the document and threw it back to the Ninth Prince.
"Transporting food and building huts, the victims can do their part by themselves, and thus the workers save a lot of money. In the worst case, they mentioned the criminals from the Ministry of Justice to work as hard laborers. There are so many ways to do this. I will give you the most to the number."
Seeing that he wanted 600,000 taels, he was only criticized for 100,000 taels.
If I go back with this result, my mother will be extremely disappointed with herself.
Thinking of this, the ninth prince gritted his teeth and said, "Please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to give him a favor, and at least 300,000 taels will be awarded. Otherwise, my brother will not be able to explain to his mother when he returns."
Li Chen's eyes were cold and he said, "If the queen is dissatisfied, let the queen talk to me and go out."
The ninth prince was angry and looked up at Li Chen, asking, "Does the prince not want me to do the disaster relief work well, so everyone in the world said that me and me are kind, so they deliberately make things difficult?"
Bang!
Li Chen was furious and slapped the table with a palm, angrily shouting: "Rareless!"
The loud noise made the Ninth Prince tremble. When Li Chen's cold gaze, full of unparalleled majesty, fell on his body, the Ninth Prince realized the terror.
Now that Li Chen has been in power for a long time, his power is becoming more and more powerful as he rules the world.
At this moment, Li Chen was angry, and the majesty in the entire Xizheng Hall was filled with great power, as if there was a thunder blew up silently, which scared the ninth prince into a trance. He seemed to have seen the shadow of his father in Li Chen.
With a thud, the ninth prince knelt on the ground subconsciously and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness the Crown Prince calms down. It's my brother who is arrogant, and I am arrogant!"
"If I want to deliberately make things difficult for you, I will not agree to Zhao Xuanji push you out!"
"You and Zhao Xuanji both thought that this palace compromised due to pressure from the government? But you have the fourth, sixth, and eighth, and you are the youngest, so why do you have to come out?"
"Or you think that Zhao Xuanji chose you, so I have to agree?"
"What I really value is that you come forward to do this. Zhao Xuanji and other ministers will cooperate with you."
"For those victims to live a safe life earlier, I can make a compromise, but this compromise has nothing to do with you, Li Ke!"
After staring at the ninth prince, Li Chen finished speaking, he didn't even look at him who was trembling all over and scolded: "Get out and get the top ten boards!"
The ninth prince's face was pale, but he didn't dare to say a word and slowly retreated.
A moment later, outside Xizheng Hall, there was a sound of a board hitting the butt, and the ninth prince's scream.
After a while, the screams ended. Chen Tong, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei who was executing the execution, came in and said softly: "The news reached the Empress, and the Empress sent someone to pick up the ninth prince."
"But I beat ten strokes?" Li Chen asked.
Chen Tong's face froze and he whispered: "Only, I only hit seven boards."
"Damn it!"
Li Chen kicked Chen Tong over, strode out of Xizheng Hall, and said, "Go and stop me. Today, I am the King of Heaven. I will be able to beat those ten boards!"
