Chapter 213 The reason for leaving

Ruihe saw Liu Renren and suddenly seemed to have found his backbone.

"Lord Liu, can you see our Highness?" Ruihe Shilan looked at Liu Renren expectantly.

Liu Renren got on the carriage at this time just to tell them the situation.

He said with a serious look: "His Royal Highness is not in the envoy team."

Hearing Liu Renren's words, Ruihe Shilan was stunned and froze for a moment!
How could it be, when they came out of the inn, they were the ones who helped His Highness get into the carriage. How could His Highness not be in the team?
Liu Renren was afraid that they would overreact, so he immediately comforted them, "Don't be impatient. Your Highness will be fine. These are all arranged by His Highness himself."

Sure enough, after hearing what Liu Renren said, Ruihe Shilan's mood suddenly calmed down a lot.

His Highness is very resourceful, so naturally he made such an arrangement. His Highness must have his reasons.

I didn't tell them in advance because I was afraid that they would worry and expose the truth in advance.

Ruihe reacted the fastest, "Mr. Liu, does your Highness have an explanation? What should we do now?"

Seeing that the two quickly regained their composure, Liu Renren nodded. The two maids of the eldest princess were smarter than he imagined.

He took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Ruihe, "His Highness left it to you. Just do what His Highness said in the letter. Don't worry, His Highness will be protected and there will be no problem with your safety. If His Highness really If you stay in the Shichen team, big things will happen!"

The two thought of the assassination at the eldest princess's mansion, and realized that what Liu Renren said made sense.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we will never hold His Highness back."

After saying that, Ruihe opened the letter from Liu Renren and read it with Shilan.

The handwriting on the letter is indeed His Highness's, and there is a private seal pattern in the lower right corner that only the four maids recognize.

The two looked at each other and confirmed the authenticity of Liu Renren's words. Remembering the contents of the letter, they threw the letter into the small red clay furnace next to it.

In the envoy team and Qin Shuhuang's carriage, a woman's cough could be heard at noon.

Song Yiqiu and He Yutian, who were following the carriage on horseback, quickly asked with concern at the carriage window, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Do you want me to go find the doctor?"

Not long after, Ruihe's voice rang out in the carriage, "It's nothing serious. His Highness himself knows some medical skills. I'm afraid he caught a cold while sleeping last night. Coupled with the weather, His Highness had a few rashes on his body. He just had some rashes. Take the medicine and prepare to rest in the carriage for a while."

It was indeed a minor illness. When they left, Mr. Song asked him to bring a lot of patent medicines that he made himself. The effect was much better than what the accompanying doctors prescribed. In addition, His Highness is Mr. Song's disciple, and his medical skills are better than ordinary doctors.

After hearing what Ruihe said, Song Yiqiu didn't care anymore and just said: "If Your Highness is in need, I will be by the carriage and you can call me at any time."

"I understand, Your Highness is resting now." Ruihe replied.

The guards outside the carriage stopped talking and remained silent, trying to create a good resting environment for "His Royal Highness" inside the carriage.

Qin Shuhuang and Xuan Cang, who were running all the way south, took one day to cover the two-day journey of the envoy team, and arrived at Shijia County when the sky was dark.

Shijia County is not far from Yizhou, Lincheng, the capital. Its specialty is various stones. The county is engaged in the business of all kinds of landscape stones. There are only two main streets.

The people who come and go here on weekdays are all merchants engaged in stone business, and few others pass by Shijia County.Even though Qin Shuhuang was mentally prepared to ride a horse for a whole day, he still overestimated his body.

I originally planned to change horses in Shijia County and continue riding all night without changing people, but now I had to rest in Shijia County for one night.

I checked into a small inn at random and asked for two adjacent rooms. I asked the waiter to take care of the horses and bring some food to the room.

When the waiter brought the food in, Xuan Cang stood beside Qin Shuhuang and watched as Qin Shuhuang refused to leave.

Qin Shuhuang sighed inwardly, "Since I don't want to go back to your room to eat, then let's eat together here."

Qin Shuhuang pointed to the seat opposite for Xuan Cang to sit.

Xuan Cang still hasn't understood what Qin Shuhuang did today. He is waiting for Qin Shuhuang to tell him.

After sitting down, Xuan Cang did not pick up his chopsticks. He looked at Qin Shuhuang for a while and then frowned and said: "What do you want to do, Your Highness? It is too dangerous to bring only one of your subordinates out in such silence! If Your Highness, If you don’t want to join the envoy team, you can just take another route secretly, so why go south?”

In order to speed up, neither of them ate at noon. After a day of running, Qin Shuhuang was already hungry. He was imprisoned and tortured in his previous life, and he had not eaten any decent food in the last few years.

In this life, Qin Shuhuang has become a little paranoid about food. Although she is not tired of eating, she still wants to eat well and enjoy delicious food as long as she has the conditions.

It seemed that if Brother Can Wang couldn't get the answer today, she would never have a good meal.

Qin Shuhuang sighed helplessly, put down his chopsticks, and said: "If I and the emperor want to survive, the emperor must be in power! The most powerful person in the court today is the regent. He controls [-]% of the public affairs. Government affairs. However, due to the previous floods in the suburbs of Beijing and the incident of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, his strength was greatly compromised. Now the court is fiercely fighting for the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. If there were no factions, do you think the court would be The fight is so fierce? I and the emperor's brother have limited manpower and have not participated in this fight. Then who do you think is fighting with the regent's faction? "

Xuan Cang's eyebrows were furrowed and his expression was serious. He quickly realized, "Is it Prince Ping?"

Qin Shuhuang nodded, "Before the regent even noticed it, Prince Ping's power had unknowingly occupied [-]% of the court!"

Qin Shuhuang continued: "After investigations by the Xu family and the Rongguo Duke's office, it was determined that the regent had colluded with Beidi. Do you think that with Prince Ping's power in Beijing, you can support his expansion in the court?"

Xuan Cang shook his head and his expression became solemn, "Everything in the capital is done under everyone's eyes. It's not that simple to expand your power. Prince Ping must have a backing behind him."

The regent relied on his cooperation with Beidi to control the court, so Prince Ping must have people on his side.

King Ping's fiefdom is to the south, and is the southern city of Guangnan City.

When Dawu founded the country, Emperor Gaozu had already set the rules. Although princes and princesses had fiefdoms, they only had the power of food and no administrative and military power. This meant that these princes and princesses could only collect taxes and could not do anything else. The city Still owned by the state.

Moreover, the food towns cannot be inherited. If the princes and princesses who were granted the title are gone, the taxes will be returned to the country. Whether the children of the princes and princesses can be granted the food towns is entirely up to them.

King Ping's fiefdom was in Guangnan, which was close to southern Xinjiang. The people were not wealthy, and his settlement had only [-] households. This shows that King Ping was not favored when the late emperor was still alive.

Qin Shuhuang's food town was in Luozhou, a land of plenty and plenty, with a total of [-] households. Such a comparison can tell who the late emperor favored.

If King Ping wants to cultivate his own power and recruit his own people, he must be more reliable in Guangnan.

Moreover, Guangnan is a place where the emperor is far away and the sky is high, so it is often ignored by the court, and Concubine Liu Gui comes from a wealthy family in Guangnan!
