Chapter 154: This Melon Field in Xijing
While the two were eating melon, Nangong Rui walked to the door.
He wanted to hear what news Xijing would have, so he kept quiet and found a stool in the yard to sit on.
The servants of the Tian family were enjoying their melons and no one noticed that Nangong Rui had arrived.
The more he listened, the angrier he became, but he still suppressed his inner impulse, ate the melon and returned to the palace to deal with it later.
I only heard two people in the room still eating melon.
Daju: [You humans are too hard to understand. We gods don’t do so many dirty things.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [There are many such things in modern times, but we don’t have an emperor anymore. Ordinary people have the joy of becoming fathers, and the couples have their own fun.]
Daju: [Wouldn’t the world be in chaos then? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Not really, after all, there are still few people like that. Are there any other gossips? ]
Daju: [Nangong Qi's treasury is running out of money. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Don’t Nangong Rui know? ]
Daju: [What Nangong Rui saw was a fake account book. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [This prince is such a coward. Who emptied the treasury? ]
Daju: [The fifth prince before, the queen now, and several princes all have a share. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How many brothers does Nangong Qi have? Didn’t those brothers go to their fiefdoms? ]
Daju: [There are two older brothers and three younger brothers. The eldest brother and the fifth brother claimed to be sick and never left Beijing, so they became idle princes. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Can an idle prince use the money from the national treasury? ]
Daju: [The idle princes are just on the surface. In fact, the ministers of Xijing have been won over by these princes, the eldest princess, and the queen. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What does Nangong Rui have? Isn't he just a prince? ]
Daju: [It turns out that the prince has many ministers supporting him, but the prince is not good at giving sweet treats to others, and he is mature beyond his years, so he is quite strict with his subordinates. Those fence-sitters have completely turned to the other side.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful, a hollow prince, what can he use to compete with others? ]
Daju: [As long as your father stands on his side, there will be no problem. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [There are too many officials in Xijing, they should be streamlined, and there are many people who are not doing any work.]
Daju: [That's right. Nangong Qi's elder brother, Nangong Li's palace takes a lot of money from the national treasury every month, and he lives a very luxurious life.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Isn't it possible that the floor of your house is paved with gold bricks? Like Song Yuanzhi's?]
Daju: [Many of their things are made of gold. The bowls are made of gold, the chopsticks are made of ivory, and the bead curtains are all made of the finest pearls. The food costs the palace about one thousand taels of silver every day.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [This is too much, are they eating silver? ]
Daju: [Anyway, whatever you can imagine and what you can’t imagine, you can see in Nangong Li’s house.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Qi is such a wimp.]
Daju: [This is the consequence of Nangong Qi's blind tolerance. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, I have an idea. ]
The man and the cat started whispering again. Nangong Rui couldn't hear them. Lin Yunzhi didn't care because she would know it sooner or later.
Daju: [You little brat, why are you so bad? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [My father is on Nangong Rui's side, so we must help him.]
Daju: [You are the type who only wants the world to be in chaos! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [If we don't take the initiative, those people will probably attack us. Remember, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself! ]
Daju: [You have finally realized it! If you had realized it in your previous life, you wouldn’t have been killed.]
Tian Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly: [A good man does not talk about his past achievements. Let’s not talk about the things in the last life, okay? ]
Daju: [Then I will throw stones into the peaceful lake of Xijing tonight! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Yes, this matter is yours. By the way, let's have a taste of other ministers' gossip.]
Daju: [Let’s start with the melons from Jingzhaoyi in Xijing. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Okay, okay, Jingzhao Yi is in charge of the public security of the entire Xijing, so there must be a lot of melons.]
Daju: [Jingzhao Yi has taken countless lives. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [He judged many wrongful convictions? ? ]
Daju: [This man is the executioner of the nobles! Any family in Xijing with a little money and power can make Jingzhao Yi obedient and judge the case however he wants.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Are the people of Xijing like Ninja Turtles? Why don't they resist even in such a situation? ]
Daju: [There is no way to resist! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Rui is counting his leg hairs? Why doesn't he leave the imperial city to understand the people's sentiments?]
Daju: [He can’t accomplish so many things by himself. He can’t do it alone! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Would it be better if he took the throne? ]
Daju: [What earth-shattering and soul-shattering idea have you come up with? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Let Nangong Qi abdicate and the crown prince ascend the throne. ]
Daju: [This is considered usurpation of the throne. Those princes will definitely fight and legitimately seize the throne. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Then let Nangong Qi abdicate voluntarily, or let him die. Such an emperor is useless to the country and the people, what's the point of keeping him around? ]
Daju: [The prince is afraid of being accused of treason! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How pedantic! Letting an incompetent person be the emperor, causing the national treasury to be in deficit and the people to live in dire straits, that is the heinous act.]
Daju: [He listens to your father more, let your father talk to him.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I'm going to write a letter to my father right now. Um, can you still teleport? ]
Daju: [Cannot use it instantly, skill is on cooldown. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What use do I have for you?]
Daju: [You should be more diligent. Maybe by the time I can do it, you can do it yourself. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Alas, cultivation is too hard, I am not suitable for it. ]
Daju: [Then ask your mother for help. She should be able to use the third eye.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I forgot about my mother. I'll go talk to her later. Let's continue with Jing Zhaoyi's gossip. How many women does this man have?]
Daju: [There weren’t many women, only seven. He named them the Seven Fairies.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The ancients really knew how to have fun.]
Daju: [These seven women are so fertile. Guess how many children they have?]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Seven women, if each of them gave birth to two children, that would be 14 in total.]
Daju: [Do you think that in your place, people only want to have two children? Guess again! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It can’t be that every woman gave birth to five children, right? ]
Daju: [Listen carefully, he has a total of fifty children! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh my god, his ability to have children is as good as that of the emperor! Nangong Qi must learn from him, otherwise the Nangong family will die out, which is not conducive to the inheritance of the royal bloodline.]
Daju: [Nangong Qi had decent fertility when he was young, but the survival rate of his children was too low.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It should be because he has too many enemies, and his women are not easy to deal with, so they hurt each other, so the child can't survive, right? ]
Daju: [You understand a lot! If Nangong Rui hadn't had his mother risked her life to save him, he wouldn't have survived to be discovered by the late emperor.]
Nangong Rui: Is there such a thing?
