Chapter 104 The Prince's Counterattack
"Tell me, what can I do!"
Li Xin asked anxiously. Although he was tricked by Gongsun Chong last time, it was not without gain.
At least he figured out something.
Moreover, Gongsun Chong is still his smartest adviser.
Gongsun Chong said: "What the Eighth Prince can do, we can do too. Moreover, the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince and is orthodox. If His Highness comes forward, he will be more convincing than the Eighth Prince!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked sideways.
Du Youwei said: "Isn't that just trying to imitate others?"
"No!"
Gongsun Chong said with a smile: "I said, His Highness is the orthodox, the Crown Prince, and the heart of the people in the world. Even if this idea comes from the Eighth Prince, so what? The Eighth Prince is a minister, and His Highness is the king. His Highness can win the hearts of the people by stepping forward to organize the East Palace Charity Foundation.
In the United Six Ministries' work-for-relief program, if your families contribute a little, is it possible that we still can't solve the problem of these [-] to [-] victims? "
Hou Yong nodded, "Brother Gongsun is right. This matter must be done not only by His Highness, but also by His Highness. Sooner or later, the eighth prince will become a vassal. What does he need with so many virtuous names?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Li Xin was also moved.
I have to say that this is indeed a good idea. Although he was extremely reluctant to imitate Li Yue, but when he thought about it, what if he snatched it away?
You want something from me, but I dare not give it to you?
Isn't that treasonous? "Okay, let's follow what Gongsun Chong said. We have donated a lot of things before, and now we are coordinating them all. We will distribute clothes first and then raise food.
If every family has a workshop that needs people, they can all be recruited! "
Li Xin made up his mind, but was still afraid of problems, so he said: "Gongsun Chong, Du Youwei, and Hou Yong, if you three do this well, it will be better than using Gu's East Palace seal to stamp the certificate of honor." The eighth prince’s personal seal is even more valuable!”
"Others must cooperate with them unconditionally. If anyone slips up on Gu in this matter, don't blame Gu for being rude!"
After the explanation, everyone started to move.
That afternoon, the signboard of the Donggong Charitable Foundation was put up.
They will do whatever Li Yue does.
Even Li Xin stood on the street and bowed to the fundraisers.
This shocked the people of the capital.
Everyone was moved.
All the civil and military officials also moved, each taking money, grain, and cloth to donate.
There were many people who wanted to curry favor with Li Xin, and they saw the opportunity.
For a time, the entire street was blocked.
Li Xin was indescribably happy, but he was also worried. After all, there were too many people. With so many people, when would he go?
"Your Highness, persistence is victory. No one from Li Yue's side has passed, which shows that the people's hearts are still towards us!" Gongsun Chong was also very happy. Every time he thought of his nickname, he hated Li Yue and Qin Mo.
He would boycott anyone and anything that had anything to do with Qin Mo.
Even Li Yushu was a little angry.
Why do you want to stand on Qin Hanzi’s side and say good things?
Does she still have her cousin in her heart?
"Your Highness, it is a blessing to the world and the people that Daqian has a prince with such a virtuous name as Your Highness!"
The compliments abounded.
Li Xin was in ecstasy after hearing this.
But on the other side, many people went to the palace to meet Li Shilong.
Some people praised the prince, while others were worried about the prince's comfort.
But soon, they were sent away.
Li Shilong's face was slightly cold, and he felt particularly dazzling when he looked at the memorial presented by Wu Tongue.
Donggong Charitable Foundation, President Li you planning to fight him in court? Are you so eager to win over people? Even if he comes to him and asks for a vice president, he will give it to him, and he will even be happy.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong asks to see you!"
"If you don't see me, just say I'm tired!"
Li Shilong said something and looked at the supplies released from the East Palace and the list of those who donated.
These people are either rich or noble, and many of them are current officials.
There are even hints of aristocratic families.
Li Shilong knew very well that if Da Gan did not want to follow the old path of the previous dynasty, he must disintegrate the family.
He doesn't like the prince to be too close to the aristocratic family! His fingers tapped on the table, and the Tai Chi Palace became eerily quiet.
Gao Shilian lowered her eyebrows and looked like a sculpture.
"Come here, send additional secret guards to the prince. If anything goes wrong, I'll take it from you!"
That night, Li Xin returned to the East Palace exhausted. Although he was tired, he felt that everything was worth it.
In just one afternoon, Li Xin's reputation was spread throughout the capital.
The common people wept, and the officials cheered.
Even high-ranking families are very considerate.
It feels really good to have everything answered at once and to have everything under control! Crown Princess Lin Rong came over and said, "Mr. Lang, are you tired? I have already asked someone to put the water in!"
The prince frowned, "No, I'm hungry. Let's prepare food first. How many times have I told you, don't make the decision without permission next time!"
Lin Rong's pretty face turned pale, "Yes, I understand!"
Li Xin doesn't like Lin Rong, although Lin Rong is very virtuous and has a good family background and can help him. .
"I won't go to your place tonight!"
Lin Rong's eyes were full of disappointment. She thought that as long as she did well, she could get the prince's favor.
But three years ago, after she married the prince, she had never tasted the feeling of pampering.
He rarely even spent the night at her place.
This incident even alarmed the queen, so much so that she called the prince over to reprimand him.
After being reprimanded, the prince would stay at her place, but every time he would torture her until she was covered with bruises.
Just because she ruined the prince's good deeds.
She kept that matter so deep in her heart that she didn't even dare to sleep too deeply at night, for fear that she would sleep too deeply and then speak out.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard singing from outside, "Your Majesty is here!"
Hearing this, Lin Rong was stunned, why is Your Majesty here?
Before she could react, she saw Li Shilong walking over.
"My son sees my father!"
"Get up, Crown Princess, is Cheng Qian back?"
"Thank you, Father!"
Lin Rong stood up and said respectfully: "I just came back and I'm having dinner. Father, can we have dinner? How about I cook?"
Li Shilong liked Lin Rong quite a lot, not only because he was the crown prince and the future queen.
Even more because she is filial, and that kind of filial piety comes from the heart.
"no need!"
After saying that, Li Shilong walked in quickly.
Lin Rong was a little anxious. Li Shilong rarely came to the East Palace, at least not at this time, let alone go back to find Li Xin in person.
Either Li Xin made a mistake, or it was because of other things.
It won’t be a good thing anyway! She hurriedly followed, but was stopped by Wu Shi, "Princess, please stay, Your Majesty has to discuss some important matters with His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Lin Rong stopped for a moment, but her heart became even more anxious. We were not discussing important matters in the Tai Chi Palace, so what were we doing in the East Palace? (End of this chapter)
