C3471 Money and power (1/2)

With just a few portions of cold vegetables and a pot of wine, the maidservants that served them withdrew. The two of them no longer had any thoughts of eating!

”My fifth brother!” Brother, I really can't find a way to help you, or else I won't be able to help you anymore … My family's De Xi, I am already using the old one … ”

”Please give me a way …” Department of Revenue arranged a job. I heard that Yang Zhi controls the printing of North Ticket s, which is a business of gold and silver mountain. You can share a piece of meat with your brother! ”

”Aiyo?” I say, why are you bleeding so much today? So the pit was waiting here? You sure are thick-skinned too. You want to be stained with the North Ticket's water? ”

Yi Cong picked up a small piece of prawn from the plate and threw it into his mouth. ”Tasty, tasty …” This shrimp is really small and delicious. He sure likes it! ”

”My brother, don't keep staring at the big prawns and rice balls. Actually, only the small prawns can satisfy your hunger …”

”Don't, don't, don't... Brother, you are not in a hurry to eat or drink while guarding the silver stove. Brother, I still have a large family to support me! ”Even though I'm pouring out some industrial goods to the northwest to earn a bit of money, I don't have much meat at all …”

Yi Kuang immediately began to pour out the bitter water. What kind of big family or big population, all in groups of servants … and described the North Atlantic as the Great Desert Gobi.

In fact, Yi Cong had already understood long ago that Yi Kuang was trying to take advantage of Tongzhi's tyrannical rule to gain more power and increase the number of his direct descendants.

Little Fifth Master let out a long sigh, ”Brother, don't try to find excuses, I still don't understand what you are thinking.” ”He's going to be in charge soon. He's someone who has traveled overseas, his vision is definitely not ordinary …”

”Are you afraid that you won't be able to get into the sand once you're in charge?”

With a ”pa” sound, Yi Kuang slapped his thigh and laughed, ”Since Big Brother said so, then I won't hide it anymore … If you say it clearly, I am worried too! ”

”Do you still remember the year when His Majesty left the Beijing for Xiao Letian to kidnap? I have brought three hundred Baji s with me. I heard that Xiao Letian had practiced them for a while inside the Ryukyu.

”Your majesty is trying to stand on his own feet! I've seen through it. After His Majesty takes over his personal affairs, he will definitely use his most trusted aides. Who do we think we are? ”I might have to sweep them into the dung heap …”

Young Fifth Master Yi smiled slightly. ”Hai …” Isn't it just a group of military generals? How many people could there be in His Majesty's pouch? We don't lack anything, we just don't lack officials! ”

When Yi Kuang heard this, he became even more anxious. ”My good fifth brother! Are you pretending or are you really confused? Although Zai Chun that brat has three hundred warriors by his side, but don't forget that there are a lot of civil officials by his side! ”That fellow just randomly picked a bunch of civil servants …”

”Mm …” Young Fifth Master Yi glared at him and asked, ”What did you say just now? What did you call the His Majesty … ”

Yi Kuang flipped his hand and gave himself a big smack, which sounded very crisp, ”Fifth brother, don't be angry, I'll slap you in the mouth, I'll slap you in the mouth...”

Yi Cong's face was as cold as water as he said, ”Yi Kuang, I'll explain everything clearly today... Greed for money and want to make a fortune. This brother will forgive you, but you dare to have even the slightest bit of disrespect towards His Majesty … Don't blame me for being rude! ”

With a ”pu tong” sound, Prince Qing Yi Yong immediately knelt on the ground and opened his mouth wide, ”Brother, I was wrong …” Big brother, don't be angry. Calm down, it's just that I've had too much yellow soup … ”It really wasn't intentional!”

According to seniority, Prince Qing Yi Yong was the uncle of Emperor Tongzhi, Wu Yi, and was not too far away from him.

If your nephew becomes the emperor, even if you're your uncle, you still have to kneel! It was a capital offense to directly address Tongzhi by his name!

However, the Inside Eight Flags was after all, a family of big relatives, and it was quite common for people to call the Emperor by his name. Sometimes, it was even a sign of the Manchu's privilege.

Sometimes, they just directly called the emperor by his name to show the world how powerful their backing was and how deep their family's foundation was.

This was a common occurrence in tea houses bragging about their activities!

However, for someone at the Prince Ching level, if he did not hide anything, Yi Cong would definitely not let him go.

Seeing his brother slap him more than ten times, he finally raised his hand to grab his brother's wrist. ”Alright, this is just a warning. If there's a next time, I won't forgive you!”
