"Haha! Hahaha! Boss, Boss, I didn't expect you to have today, hahaha!"

In the East Palace, the prince laughed wildly. When the news of Kangxi's issuance of the emperor's order to punish the eldest prince came, the prince, who had fought with his brother for more than ten years, was overjoyed.

Listening to the prince's unconcealed laughter, the fourth prince couldn't help but frown. These days, the fourth prince, who assisted the prince in handling loan responsibilities in the Ministry of Revenue, often went to and from the East Palace, and today it was to report to the prince's progress in recovering the debt.

"Your Highness, you are all your brothers. You have the chance to persuade the emperor to come to the king..." The Fourth Prince couldn't help but say, among the brothers, the Fourth Prince is alone. In addition to being close to the prince and the Thirteenth Prince, he basically treats other princes equally. Moreover, he knows his personality, so he is relatively clean among many princes.

The laughter stopped, and the prince glanced at the fourth prince, and there was still a smile on his lips: "Heaven is very cruel, but he is a sin... Haha, at this time, you are still thinking about letting me speak for the boss? Do you know how the boss outside the Great Wall made trouble in front of the emperor?"

"After all, they are all brothers, and the eldest brother was forced to make such a bad decision..." The outsiders don't know the inside story of this matter. How could the fourth prince, as the prince, not only did he understand? After the Lin'an fire, the eldest prince not only submitted a letter of apology, but also gave Kangxi a secret letter to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly. Moreover, although Kangxi was furious on the surface and issued an order to punish him in public, he only deprived all the part-time jobs of the eldest prince, but did not move at all about the title of the eldest prince, which was enough to show Kangxi's attitude. In this case, why should the prince be this evil person? It would be better to take this opportunity to say a few good words for the eldest prince to show the prince's belly.

"No need to say it." Who would have thought that the prince would interrupt before the fourth prince finished speaking, and then transferred the topic to the pursuit of the debt.

He sighed in his heart, it seems that the resentment between the prince and the eldest prince is too deep. Perhaps the prince is eager to take this opportunity to beat the eldest prince and turn over. How could he speak for him?

Seeing that the prince was like this, the fourth prince stopped persuading him and immediately reported to recover the debt. Unlike the prince, the fourth prince is a practical person and has great courage. After taking over the Ministry of Revenue, the fourth prince acted decisively and sent his capable subordinates to the Ministry of Revenue. Not only did he check the accounts, but he also directly attacked the royal relatives who owed the most.

The fourth prince's actions surprised the prince. For this reason, he specially asked the fourth prince not to offend too many people because of this. However, the fourth prince and the prince analyzed the current situation and said that if they did not do this, they would not be able to return the debts of the Ministry of Revenue. Moreover, the benefits of doing so were obvious. They could not only achieve immediate results, but also establish the prestige of the prince, and at the same time handed over a satisfactory answer to Kangxi.

At first, the prince was hesitant, but in the end he finally let go of the Fourth Prince's insistence. Under the Fourth Prince's method, everyone in the capital who owed silver complained, including several princes who borrowed money.

After listening to the Fourth Prince's report, the prince was immediately happy. He did not expect that the Fourth Prince would recover so much money in such a short time.

"Okay! Good job!" The prince said happily: "Ma Qi and others worked hard to get some of them. I didn't expect that the amount you got back was far more than Ma Qi, so you did well!"

"This is all thanks to the Crown Prince's mediation, so that I can have the opportunity to perform." The Fourth Prince replied without hesitation and humility, and then said, "But there is a difficult situation now. Lao Jiu, Lao Shi and others borrow a lot of silver. They have been dragging them back all these days, and many officials in the court are watching. According to my brother, as long as they let them spit out all the remaining silver, it will be much easier to recover the next owed silver. I have calculated that when all the silver is taken back, the errand of recovery will be completed by seven or eight out of ten..."

"Lao Jiu, Lao Shi..." The prince hesitated when he heard this. Although Lao Jiu Lao Shi was not the same as him, and they were closer to Lao Ba, they were all his brothers after all. The money was to be paid to his brothers. Will people in the world feel that they are mean to their brothers?

It's strange that the prince's attitude towards the eldest prince just now did not take this into consideration. Instead, because the ninth and tenth princes thought about this, it was also the prince's personality flaw. He was very fond of merit and was unable to correct his problem of being cautious.

"This... the fourth brother, can the ninth brother and the tenth brother slow down?"

"This is absolutely impossible!" The Fourth Prince refused straightforwardly: "The so-called travelers of a hundred miles are half ninety. Only by letting them return the money can this job be done! I will not hide it from the Crown Prince. I came here today to let His Highness the Crown Prince come forward. I think that as long as His Highness explains the interests of the Crown Prince to them, I will be more confident in this matter."

In fact, the Fourth Prince has already contacted the Ninth Prince and others for this matter, but as brothers, the Fourth Prince is not very serious about speaking, not to mention that the person in charge of the mail is the prince, he is just an assistant. After going there a few times, not only did not work, but was sarcastic for a few words. Therefore, the Fourth Prince could only turn to the prince for help, hoping that the prince would overwhelm these princes with his identity and force them to repay the owed silver.

"Well... let me think about it first... think about it first..." Hearing this, the prince hesitated again. He was worried that the brothers below would make a fuss, either to lose face, or to give outsiders a bad reputation of bullying their brothers. After thinking about it, the prince still thought it would be better to delay it first.

"Your Highness, this matter needs to be as soon as possible..."

"I know, I know..." Seeing the fourth prince chasing him, the prince waved his hand impatiently, and then said, "Fourth brother, you are serious about doing things and being dedicated to the public. However, sometimes you are too straightforward and easily suffer losses. Don't worry, I will find a way to do this as soon as possible, by the way! I will go to the palace to meet the emperor and tell him the good news of the debt collection. I think the emperor will be happy to reward you..."

Before he could finish everything, he seemed to be afraid that the Fourth Prince would continue to pester him. The Prince hurriedly left. Looking at the prince's hurriedly leaving, the Fourth Prince stood in a daze with a complicated expression. Finally, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

After leaving the Eastern Palace, the prince sighed softly. To be honest, he was really annoyed by the Fourth Prince. If it weren't for the fact that the Fourth Prince had always been his own person, he would always be unhappy with this rigid guy. However, he soon threw this matter behind his mind and felt much happier. After all, today there were two happy events in a row. The first is of course the eldest prince's unlucky thing. His mortal enemy was in great danger. Who would dare to stand up and compete with him for the position of the crown prince?

As for the second thing, it was the fourth prince just reported on the recovery of the debt. After recovering so much money, Kangxi must be very happy. It is the time to go and seek credit. Thinking of this, the steps under the prince's feet became a little lighter, and he was filled with joy.
