After transmigrating into the villain's daughter, I lie down and win

Chapter 817 The whole family is a rebel (101)

Zhong Xing originally entered the palace to ask for a job, but Wang Wu got there first. He had no choice but to pay his respects to Princess Jinyang and then meet the Crown Prince as usual.

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhong Xing asked.

The palace maid had an expression as if she had something to say but was hesitant to speak. Zhong Xing saw it, grinned, and walked straight into the prince's study.

Didn't they say the prince was in here? Why is there no one here?

Zhong Xing was wondering when he suddenly heard a very soft sound coming from behind the desk. He looked over and his pupils shrank suddenly. This is...

The desk, which originally reached his waist when he sat down, was now piled with memorials and letters, and its height had increased to more than three times its original size. No wonder he didn't notice there was someone behind him.

"Prince?"

He called out, and when he walked over, he saw the thin body of the prince hidden behind the memorials and letters.

Hearing the sound, the prince raised his head, but his eyes were a little confused, as if he thought he had heard it wrong. After looking around, he lowered his head again and went back to look at the memorials full of nonsense.

When Zhong Xing saw this, his heart stopped for a moment.

He quickly moved the letters aside, half-knelt in front of the prince and looked at him carefully, grabbing his sleeve and asked worriedly, "I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you have become so thin?"

Looking at his eyes again, he couldn't help but ask, "The circles under your eyes are so dark, have you not slept for several nights?"

After being talked to for a long time, the prince finally realized that he had heard correctly. He looked at Zhong Xing and called him "cousin". His voice was dry and hoarse, which made people feel distressed.

"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Have you summoned the imperial physician? Has Gongsun Chou come? Otherwise, I will send someone to ask if he is in Chang'an. If not, let Yan'er come to check. By the way, does Yan'er know that you have become so thin?" Zhong Xing asked.

After Xiao Ji ascended the throne, most of the people from the Beidi Palace came to Chang'an, leaving only a few loyal old people to guard the original palace. People like Gongsun Chou and Mo Jia, except those who had missions and could not leave, were basically all in Chang'an.

Recently, Yan'er has made new moves. The Mohists and Gongshujia are fighting for the opportunity to work for her, while Gongsun Chou takes a group of disciples to practice medicine among the people. After returning to Chang'an, he lives in the Princess's Mansion and compiles medical classics.

If we can't find Gongsun Chou, we can only ask Xiao Yan'er for help.

The prince was already a little drowsy, and after being bombarded with questions, his head was buzzing even more.

After a long while, he finally said, "I'm fine, no need to call the doctor."

Zhong Xing wanted to insist, but the prince motioned him to look at the memorials. Zhong Xing suddenly had an idea and seemed to remember something.

He heard the prince say, "You are away from home, so it is normal that you don't know. My father ordered that all the ministers' memorials be sent to me. I will review them one by one and then show them to him."

Zhong Xing guessed the reason, but didn't know how to comfort him.

The reason why my uncle did this was that he himself was a military general and had been leading troops in battles outside for many years. He did not like to deal with these mundane affairs, and usually those unimportant official documents in the army were handled by advisers.

Secondly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was precocious. When he was very young, he accompanied his aunt who stayed in the palace to read official documents. He personally handled all the affairs of the palace, big and small, as well as the official affairs of the north, before making decisions. It can be said that he was very adept at handling these memorials.

These are two reasons, but there is a more important reason, that is, my uncle wants to use this opportunity to train His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and at the same time let those who have ulterior motives and are eyeing the crown prince position or even want to emulate the previous dynasty and stir up a dispute over the crown prince see how outstanding his crown prince is and how much he trusts and values ​​the crown prince, so that those people will give up as soon as possible.

Without waiting for Zhong Xing to open his mouth to comfort him, the prince said, "You don't have to say anything. I know what father meant."

But soon, the calm and sophisticated aura on his body faded away, leaving only a bitter face. He sighed to the sky, "But cousin, it's too hard to read the useless articles and flattery written by these useless people!"

There are thousands of words in the article, with good writing and handwriting, but after reading the whole article, you can't find a single important thing. The whole article is nothing but self-boasting and flattery, it's all nonsense!

But his father said that he must read all of them, and he would conduct random checks later!

So angry!

Even though Zhong Xing couldn't empathize with the prince, he understood his frustration and distress, but what could he say?
His eloquence was so good that he could not use it at all. He could only utter a few dry words after a long while, "Uncle probably wants to temper your character."

Doesn’t the prince know? Of course he knows!
So he suffers.

The two brothers looked at each other, helpless and powerless, sighed, and compromised.

After a while, the prince finally remembered, "You have something to ask me?"

Zhong Xing shook his head, but then said, "It's still about Yan'er's fiefdom. Didn't they make a lot of articles today?"

The prince immediately went to look at his desk.

Why didn't anyone tell him such an important thing?
Or was he too sleepy and didn't pay attention to what was written in the memorial?
Zhong Xing quickly said, "It's not here, it's with my uncle."

Prince: "What's going on?"

Zhong Xing sneered, "Yan'er's fiefdom is too large, she has too many soldiers, she has hundreds of families to assist her, and she is popular with the people. Your Majesty has given her great power. There is no guarantee that she will not manipulate the soldiers to resist the court and rebel and usurp power..."

"Bastard!"

Before Zhong Xing finished speaking, the prince started to curse, "Do these people think they are still living in the previous dynasty? The position of the crown prince is being manipulated by these powerful and noble families. They even want to sow discord among the royal family and slander the eldest princess. They deserve to die!"

"really."

Zhong Xing agreed.

The prince frowned, "Did they bother Yan'er?"

Zhong Xing shook his head. "I've never heard of that. They don't have the guts to do that."

Reporting to the Emperor is normal behavior, but if you go to the Princess's Mansion to cause trouble, you are courting death.

Prince: "Who are they? Do you know their names?"

Zhong Xing only mentioned a few names he knew, "Your Highness, please do not interfere in this matter. His Majesty has already handed it over to Wang Wu to handle."

"Oh?"

"What is he going to do?"

The prince asked.

Zhong Xing couldn't help but laugh, "Send him into exile!"

After hearing the whole story, the prince couldn't help laughing, "Father is really... Wang Wu is fair and honest, with a heart as hard as iron, and he has close contacts with the nobles. I think he will definitely send those people to the Northland, let them contribute to the stability of the Northland, and completely integrate with the Northland."

Zhong Xing: “…”

As expected of father and son, they both speak so tactfully.

But soon, the prince ordered him again, "You just mentioned a man named something? His surname is Su, right? His son seemed to have trampled someone to death in the street the other day. Since there is a murder case, there is no need to go to the north for the time being. Hand him over to Li Tingwei."

Zhong Xing: “Yes.”

The prince said: "These noble families are always arrogant and complacent. Please tell Li Tingwei to carefully investigate this case and make an example of them to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

Zhong Xing: “…”

Zhong Xing: “Yes.”

Or let’s talk about father and son fighting together in battle.

Uncle and the prince are truly father and son!
