Chapter 380 Rebellion against Tiangang
The prince looked at Chu Ning following the emperor into the palace, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Then, he made up his mind and followed.
My father did not forbid me to enter!
When he entered the palace, the prince glanced at Chu Ning.
At this time, the emperor slowly said: "Okay, this farce should end. Chu Ning, you have to find a way to solve the problem of refined salt and facial mask."
Chu Ning smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, father. I still have some stock. Since the palace needs it, I will of course give priority to supplying the palace's needs."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
This kid is really a smart guy. He even knows how to use this matter to threaten me.
Fortunately, this matter has been resolved. I believe that the concubines in the harem will not bother me about this matter anymore.
As for the Ministry of Household Affairs...
Since they had publicly rejected the other party's collective resignation, the investigation had to be dropped.
But the prince stood up at this moment and said in a deep voice: "Father, my eighteenth brother violated the military order and asked the Ministry of Revenue to assist the refugees from Bingzhou to register their household registration. This is unreasonable."
How can I give up such a good opportunity?
After finally getting hold of Chu Ning's evidence, we must maximize the benefits.
The emperor frowned and looked displeased when he heard this.
If I hadn't believed you before, I wouldn't be threatened by this kid Chu Ning now.
The emperor's face darkened and he glared at the prince fiercely: "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Father..."
"enough!"
The emperor shouted angrily: "If you don't understand what I'm saying, I know a little bit about fighting. Do you want to have a taste of my skills?"
The emperor was somewhat angry because he was contradicted by the prince in front of Chu Ning, as he couldn't blame himself for the loss of face.
The scolded prince clenched his hands, and a hint of hatred flashed through his heart.
Damn Chu Ning, it’s all your fault!
If it weren't for you, why would my father scold me!
You just wait for me!
When the general was feeling angry at the prince, Zhao Ming's voice suddenly came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, someone from the East Palace came and said that there is something important to report to the prince."
The emperor glanced at the prince and said indifferently: "Let him come in and talk."
Then, an East Palace guard entered the hall.
"See Your Majesty!"
The emperor nodded slightly and asked: "What happened that made you come to me to see the prince?"
The guard of the Eastern Palace looked at the Crown Prince, then at Chu Ning, and then whispered, "Your Majesty, the Eastern Palace is out of refined salt."
The prince was immediately furious and kicked the East Palace guard to the ground, venting all his anger on the guard.
"You are so bold, you dare to come here to report such a trivial matter. Don't you know that my eighteenth brother has just ordered to resume the supply to the palace?"
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Chu Ning chuckled and said, "Brother Crown Prince, I just said that I have some stock and I will give priority to the palace.
However, the stock is limited, and the Eastern Palace is not within the range, so this is refined salt. You should go find other people to see if they have any extra that they can give you."
The prince was stunned.
What do you mean?
Restoring the supplies to the Imperial Palace, but the Eastern Palace is not included in it?
Isn't the East Palace inside the Imperial Palace?
The prince was immediately furious!
"Ten! Eight! Brother!"
The prince stared at Chu Ning and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Chu Ning shrugged calmly, "It's nothing, it's just that there is not enough refined salt, I can only make sure that Father can use it first.
As for the East Palace, I wish you the best."
You little bastard, you dare to attack the Ministry of Revenue and cause trouble for me. I'll kill you this time!
The prince's face was extremely gloomy. He knew that this was Chu Ning's revenge, and it was impossible to persuade Chu Ning to sell refined salt.
With Chu Ning's personality, since he dared to say it in front of his father, he would dare to do it.
"Father!"
The prince turned to look at the emperor and said with a righteous look on his face: "You have always taught us that brothers should love each other and there should be no barriers between us!
But look at what my Eighteenth Brother is doing now. He is clearly deliberately destroying the relationship between brothers. Father, please help me!"
Chu Ning's eyes widened, as if he was meeting the prince for the first time.
Good man, you really are confusing right and wrong and are actually the real Tian Gang!
It was obviously you who attacked first, but now you are biting others back.
Even the emperor was caught off guard by the prince's words and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Blinking his eyes, the emperor tried hard to see the person in front of him clearly - it was indeed the prince.
I can't believe that the prince, who usually has average eloquence, can speak like this at this moment.
Chu Ning is a really good whetstone, and it has brought out all the potential of the prince!
But this is a matter between you brothers, how can I interfere?
As a crown prince, if you can't even handle a prince, what are you doing being a crown prince?
Besides, you were the one who started this matter first. Now that Chu Ning is fighting back, of course you have to deal with it yourself.
What's the point of coming to me to complain?
The emperor was both satisfied and disdainful, and said with a look of disgust: "It's just a trivial matter, and you are making a fuss in front of me, how can you be so disrespectful?
I am tired, please leave!"
The prince's face changed drastically: "Father..."
"What? You don't understand what people say again?"
The emperor glared at the prince coldly and said, "Or do you really want to know the consequences of contradicting me?"
The prince was shocked and bowed quickly: "I dare not. I will take my leave."
Chu Ning grinned and bowed, "Since Your Majesty is tired, please have a good rest. I will take my leave."
The two of them left Yingwu Hall one after the other.
Chu Ning did not wait for the prince to speak, and took the initiative to smile and said: "Brother Prince, the matter of the East Palace refined salt still needs your attention. I will not bother you anymore. I will visit the East Palace another day when I am free."
After saying that, Chu Ning laughed and walked out of the yard.
Unexpectedly, the prince snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to block Chu Ning's way, and said coldly: "Eighteenth brother, don't speak in secret in front of others. Tell me, what do you want in exchange for selling refined salt to me?"
Chu Ning pretended to be surprised: "What do you mean by that, Prince? Do you think I am deliberately making things difficult for you?"
Are you deliberately making things difficult for me? Don’t you have any idea?
The prince suppressed his anger and stared at Chu Ning. "No matter if you are making things difficult for me or not, I just want you to give me a definite answer. Are you going to sell the refined salt or not?"
"It's not that we don't sell it, it's that we're out of stock!"
Chu Ning pretended to sigh: "Brother Crown Prince, you first complained to the Emperor and investigated the Ministry of Revenue's registration of refugees. The refugees from Bingzhou learned about this and have now gone on strike, resulting in a decrease in refined salt production."
The prince's mouth twitched.
This happened only two days ago, and even if the geese in the sky flew, it would be impossible for them to convey the news to Bingzhou.
It's a pity this guy could come up with such a lame excuse.
How shameless!
The prince felt aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do. Without refined salt, hundreds of people in the Eastern Palace couldn't even eat.
Taking a deep breath, the prince calmed down and returned to his normal state, saying indifferently:
"What do you want me to do in order to sell the refined salt to you, brother Eighteen?"
That’s right!
This is the attitude of asking for help!
A hint of amusement appeared on Chu Ning's face.
