"To prevent the vassal king from identally eating the list! Our crown prince consort has given this servant a dozen of the exact same list. The vassal king can eat as you please! There will be no need for breakfast after eating your fill!"


    "There should be problems with your estate''s finances in theing years. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it is perfect. Eating paper does not use up spirit currency!"


    "Pfft…" The Kang Prince was cracking up fromughter while watching the drama.


    The Vassal King of Jianping hastily scrambled over when he saw the Kang Prince. He grabbed a leg of the horse and wailed, "Eldest Brother, Eldest Brother, you must save me!! Eldest Brother, this younger brother cannot live on!"


    The Kang Prince: … F*ck, he got dragged in when he was only watching from the sidelines!


    "Eldest Brother, the Eastern Pce is such a bully. Eldest Brother, Eldest Brother, you must save this younger brother from the fire!"


    The Kang Prince''s mystic horse had one leg stuck in this guy''s arms. The Kang Prince could not move and could only say helplessly, "Jianping, get up first."


    "No, this younger brother can no longer make ends meet! Eldest Brother, Second Brother has helped me pay half. How about you also give me financial assistance!"


    The Kang Prince: …


    Who f*cking provoked this? Getting forced to give financial assistance early in the morning!


    "I am also recently short of money." The Kang Prince hastily said, "Since His Majesty has already given you financial assistance, then you should slowly pay up the rest. How about this, I will go discuss with the crown prince to let you pay in installments! So you have buffer time!"


    The Vassal King of Jianping wiped his tears in distress. "Eldest Brother, that crown prince consort is a greedy and unforgiving devil! Don''t discuss with her. She will not listen to you."


    "In that case, then you might as well give the crown prince consort a date. Why don''t you tighten your bootstraps and collect these items with three days as the deadline? Otherwise, do you want to keep listening to people from the Eastern Pce shouting ''collecting debt by imperial decree?"


    The Vassal King of Jianping kept weeping.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    On the side, Minister Gao simply couldn''t look straight at them. He twitched his mouth and nced at the ck-bellied Kang Prince.


    With the Vassal King of Jianping''s IQ, he was wasting his breath on the Kang Prince.


    In merely three minutes, the Kang Prince had already passed off the Vassal King of Jianping''s intent to obtain financial assistance…


    The Kang Prince was even supplying the Vassal King of Jianping with ideas. Was this not hrious?


    "My lord, it is almost time for the roll call. We had better hurry toward Lesheng Gate!"


    "Ah, right, right, right!" The Kang Prince patted his younger brother''s head and said with sympathy, "Jianping, don''t you worry! Ah, you still have the emperor even if you cannot make ends meet. Worst case, you can go scrounge meals next door from the Vassal King of Linchuan''s Estate!"


    Sir Gao suppressed theughter that was about to spew from his mouth. Heforted with a straight face, "Vassal King, rest assured. The emperor will definitely not allow you to be destitute."


    The Vassal King of Jianping boarded his carriage while weeping.


    After morning court convened and state affairs were discussed, the eunuch next to the emperor asked, "Do any of the officials have anything else to say?"


    Subsequently, the Vassal King of Jianping dropped to the ground in front of all the ranked officials. He bawled while beating the floorboards with his fist, "Your Majesty! The Eastern Pce''s crown prince consort ordered people to drive tbed wagons to my estate bright and early in the morning. They''ve been repeatedly shouting ''collecting debt by imperial decree!'' How can this younger brother keep living!"


    All the officials were promptly both amused and exasperated.


    It had been so many years since the Vassal King of Jianping bawled like this during morning court…


    An imperial censor stepped out from the left side. He spoke with righteousness, "Reporting to the emperor, it is perfectly justified to collect debt! This old official believes that the Eastern Pce has not done anything wrong."
