Chapter 306 Undercurrent

Regarding the matter of recalling the King of Yue to Beijing, people have constantly mentioned it in recent years.

For fear that Emperor Zhizheng would forget about the King of Yue, Jiang Xiang would mention the King of Yue from time to time. Especially on New Year's Day, when Emperor Zheng was in a good mood and bestowed honors on the princes, Jiang Xiang would always mention the King of Yue at an inappropriate time.

Emperor Zhizheng hated him for piercing his heart and ignored him every time. However, when giving rewards to the princes, King Yue would not be left out, but there was no explanation for calling him back to the capital.

Earlier, the prince proposed to recall the king of Yue many times in front of Emperor Zhizheng. The brothers of the King of Qin and the King of Chu were dancing happily, so the prince wanted to win over the King of Yue, so that the two brothers could share some firepower against the King of Yue. Otherwise, he would be too tired to deal with the endless methods of the King of Qin.

However, Emperor Zhizheng has been unwilling to express his position directly over the years. No matter how much the prince has thoughts in his heart, it is difficult to do anything to anger the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the prince received a message from Zhizheng, overtly and covertly. He didn't know why, so he asked several eunuchs serving the emperor. He heard that the emperor occasionally talked about the King of Yue, lamenting that the King of Yue had been guarding the tomb for ten years.

The prince understood immediately.

"Father, I heard that my seventh brother was seriously ill in the imperial mausoleum a few days ago. I asked Liu Qi, the imperial physician and others. I heard that my seventh brother felt that he could not afford to suffer from serious illness, so he actually spent all his family wealth to buy grain and send it to the disaster area. There are already many people around him. With no money left, I felt inferior and felt deeply sad. Thinking of my seventh brother's misery in the imperial mausoleum, I begged my father to call my seventh brother back to the capital to recuperate."

The prince spoke so sincerely that he knelt down on the bluestone tiles in the imperial study room to plead for the king of Yue.

When Jiang Xiang heard this, he immediately became energetic. Was the King of Yue really right? Is the matter of the King of Yue returning to Beijing settled this time?

So should he follow the suggestion or should he avoid suspicion? If it pricks the emperor's heart again, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive.

Jiang Xiang quietly raised his head and glanced at Emperor Zhizheng on the throne, then lowered his eyes and decided to observe first.

King Qin glanced at the prince with an inexplicable expression.

Privately, he didn't want the King of Yue to return to Beijing. He never thought that people could do something without any purpose. Regarding the matter of the King of Yue sending food to the victims, what was his purpose? He was really seriously ill and couldn't afford it, so he spent all his wealth and wanted to contribute in the end?

No other purpose? He didn't believe it.

Moreover, Zhao Guangyuan's status is more valuable than that of the prince. If he returns to Beijing, the courtiers and people will definitely remember the former prince, the first empress, and the Duke Lu Guo's family who were executed before.

If there are some old people who support the King of Yue at that time, it will be extremely detrimental to the King of Yue whether he fights alone or turns to the Crown Prince.

He was already struggling to deal with the crown prince, and with the addition of the Yue King, both sides were distracted, making it even more difficult.

And the prince is probably happy to see the results, whether it is working together with Zhao Guangyuan or watching him and Zhao Guangyuan fight, it will be beneficial to the prince.

Zhao Guangyuan opened a library and now has most of the students in the world. If these people are used by the prince...

King Qin gritted his teeth and glanced at Emperor Zhizheng above him. Seeing that he didn't speak, he felt something in his heart. This time, the father...

Glancing at the prince again, it seemed that Zhao Guangyuan's return to the capital was his father's instruction. King Qin lowered his expression and took a step forward to kneel down...

"Reporting to the emperor, I agree with the prince's proposal. The frontier state was hit by a disaster earlier, and I couldn't sleep at night as I was raising food and deploying people and troops. I was afraid that the victims would not have enough to eat, that the officials along the line would oppress them, and that they would not be comforted. It would cause riots among the refugees, and when I was among them, I realized how difficult it was for my father to manage the government, and I wished I could take my own life..."

The prince knelt aside, gritting his teeth with hatred. He talked about his seventh brother, but secretly talked about his achievements in disaster relief, for fear that others would not know how hard he worked.

He also resented the useless officials in Lizhou and other places, who had caused him to be implicated and taken away from taking charge of disaster relief, allowing the King of Qin to steal the limelight and deprive him of many key positions.

However, he also thought that the King of Yue had mistakenly taken away his credit. The people were now talking about the good deeds of the King of Yue, which made King Qin vomit three liters of blood, and the prince felt happy. He didn't interrupt and just allowed King Qin to continue talking...

"Father, after experiencing the disaster relief work this time, I realized that the matter is complicated and governance is not easy. It is time for my brother and others to work together to share the worries with my father."

The topic changed again, "The seventh brother was the late emperor's favorite when he was a child. He loved holding him in his arms, personally teaching him how to read and write, listening to him endorse books, and telling him political affairs..."

Jiang Xiang had previously heard that it was okay. With the prince interceding with the King of Qin, it would be more secure for the King of Yue to return to the capital, but in the end, he heard that the King of Qin had made such a deal.

Is this because the king of Yue did not stab the emperor deeply enough?

When the former prince and the king of Yue were young, they were the most valued by the late emperor. He often lamented that the king of Yue was born a few years later, otherwise it should be the king of Yue who established the emperor's grandson. Now that the emperor is about to recall the king of Yue, the king of Qin mentions that the king of Yue was valued by the late emperor when he was young?

Is this because he is afraid that when the King of Yue returns to Beijing, he will be assigned an important position by the emperor?

How worried is this about the King of Yue?

Shuzi, hateful! Jiang Xiang's heart was filled with turbid energy, and he wished he could push King Qin to the ground and beat him violently. Looking at Emperor Zhizheng sitting in the seat, he saw his brows furrowed.

Jiang Xiang was even more angry.

He took a step forward and was about to speak, but Prince Qi saw him and took the lead.

He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that King Qin would still remember what happened when he was a child. I remember that the late emperor liked to teach all the emperors and grandsons to study, and my few monkeys were taken to the imperial study room by the late emperor to study. It's just that they were naughty and often provoked The late emperor was angry. At that time, Guangyuan was at his most adorable. After being coaxed by the late emperor with delicious food, he could sit in the imperial study room and read for a long time... His grandfather must have been thinking about him, so he summoned him to the imperial palace. Ling has been with me for ten years."

Emperor Zhizheng's frown suddenly disappeared.

He must have been thinking of the past many years ago. Hearing Prince Qi talk about old things, there was a smile on his lips.

The two sons of the late Queen Mother were both well-raised and very popular with their father. Otherwise, he might not have been chosen as the successor.

"I didn't expect that Guangyuan has been accompanying the late emperor for ten years." Emperor Zhizheng said leisurely, looking quite emotional.

Those who were summoned to attend the meeting in the imperial study room today, whether they were important ministers or princes, were all the best among men. It wasn't until Emperor Zheng finished speaking that everyone began to plead for the King of Yue.

The King of Jin, Zhao Guangchun, relied on the emperor's favor and said that he would personally pick up the Seventh Emperor's brother back to the capital, and pestered the emperor's important people to repair the Yue Palace for his seventh brother.

The emperor was helpless by him, "Okay, okay, you go to the Ministry of Industry to find someone yourself, and all the expenses will be transferred from my private treasury."

"Thank you, Father!"

The King of Jin happily photographed Zhi Zheng Emperor and said flattering words to him, which made Zhi Zheng Emperor very happy.

When the prince, King Qin, King Chu and others saw this, their eyes flashed slightly.

Jiang Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. The Yue Prince's Mansion was about to be renovated. Although the emperor did not explicitly issue an order to recall the Yue Prince, it would come soon. The Emperor may have already made a final decision on today's matter, but he just asked the Crown Prince and all the princes to go through the process.

It seems that the King of Yue will return to Beijing soon!
