At the beginning, the little prince Beili and his mother were crazy about each other.

The blind man shook his head and laughed: "Haha, no one has talked to me like this for a long time." He crossed his knees and sat down slowly. It seemed that he didn't want to fight anymore. Xiao Ruolin patted the dust on his body and couldn't help complaining: "What I hate most in my life is the riddle man. What's the point of saying things that only I understand all day long." The blind man heard the words, and his gray pupils revealed a trace of sadness. He raised his hand and circulated his true energy, and the white cloth returned to his palm. After the blind man tied the white cloth again, he hesitated for a moment and slowly spoke. "I have a story, do you have wine?" ... At the same time, in the imperial study. Xiao Chuhe, dressed in a green shirt, half-knelt on the ground and said sternly: "Thirteenth brother is young and ignorant, and his crime is not worthy of being sent to the Dali Temple. Please take back your order!"

Emperor Mingde did not even raise his head, "I will not change what I have decided."

"Sixth Prince, His Majesty is angry, you should go back first." Jin Xuan said on the side.

Xiao Chuhe stood up, revealing a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Father should know the habits of the ninth prince. I don't think Thirteenth brother has done anything wrong. The royal family should have abolished this bad habit long ago."

Every prince will send a bed-warming maid to do that improper thing when he is ten years old, under the pretext of fearing that the prince will get married in the future and lose the face of the royal family without knowing what happened in the bedroom.

But Xiao Chuhe believes that the majesty of the royal family is not demonstrated by such things.

Moreover, because of this bad habit, many high-ranking officials and nobles would replace palace maids with their daughters who could not create value and let them have relationships with the royal children in order to get close to the royal family.

In this process, they completely ignored the opposition of their own daughters.

If the prince liked her, she could still be taken as a concubine, but if he did not, she would be sent back and finally become depressed and unhappy, and never smile again for the rest of her life.

Every year, there are even many girls who commit suicide because of this. This bad habit should be abolished!

Emperor Mingde stopped reviewing the memorials and frowned: "This is the rule set by the founding emperor of the Xiao Dynasty. You want to abolish it? That's easy to say."

Xiao Chuhe bowed and said: "Father! Over the years, many girls have committed suicide in the Tianqi River because of this bad habit. I just don't want to ruin the reputation of the royal family because of this bad habit."

Emperor Mingde snorted coldly and put the brush in his hand back into the cinnabar box: "Don't meddle in politics if you are not in your position. Didn't your uncle Langya teach you?"

"Father, I don't need Uncle Langya to teach me this. I can tell right from wrong. On the contrary, father, you still refuse to abolish the old habits and bad customs. How can we make progress if we follow the old system?" Xiao Chuhe said righteously.

"You!"

Emperor Mingde pointed at the sixth son helplessly, which was a headache.

It's fine that the Thirteenth Prince is so rebellious, but even the most promising Sixth Prince always makes him unhappy.

Obviously, these two princes are his favorite princes, but they both like to make trouble for him.

If one prince can't do it, two princes will come. Ask the other princes, who is as bold as these two?

Emperor Mingde rubbed his temples and said with a slight headache: "You don't have to worry about this matter for the time being. I will make a decision. You go back first."

However, Xiao Chuhe still clasped his hands and stood straight.

Seeing that he looked like a stubborn donkey, Emperor Mingde snorted angrily: "I don't know who you learned this from. If you like to stand, then stand as long as you want. I wonder how long you can hold on!"

Emperor Mingde stood up, flicked his sleeves, and left the imperial study directly.

It was already a headache to review so many memorials, but there was also a piece of iron wood next to him, and he was in no mood to deal with the memorials.

Emperor Mingde walked out of the door without looking back, and said to Jin Xuan who was beside Xiao Chuhe: "Jin Xuan, let's go. If he likes to stand, let him stand. No one cares about him."

At this time, Xiao Chuhe shouted again at an inappropriate time: "Please take back your order, father!" "

Humph!

Emperor Mingde slammed the door and left without looking back.

Jin Xuan glanced at Xiao Chuhe, and wanted to say something, but he thought of the order from His Majesty just now.

There was no way, His Majesty had spoken, so he had to shake his head and give Xiao Chuhe a look, and then retreated.

After leaving the imperial study, Emperor Mingde rested in a pavilion. He drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Randomly, he slowly asked: "Where is the King of Langya now?"

Jin Xuan stepped forward, half bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, there was a rebellion in Yizhou recently. The prince has sent troops to quell the rebellion. I believe he will be able to return to Beijing soon. "

Hearing the word rebellion, Mingde was shocked.

Emperor De couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "Maybe the reason can be found?"

Jin Xuan paused, slightly opening his mouth to speak but stopped.

Emperor Mingde glanced at him, frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate."

Jin Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "From the rumors from Yizhou, the reason for the rebellion is that the prince has repeatedly pacified the South, and his military exploits are well-known to everyone in Beili. As for your majesty..."

Hearing these rumors, Emperor Mingde's face instantly darkened.

"They only saw the King of Langya fighting in battle and repeatedly repelling the enemy with outstanding results. But I sat in Tianqi and devoted myself to governing the country. I have never slacked off. But in the end, not only did I not have a good reputation, but I was accused of being incompetent by a group of rats."

Emperor Mingde was furious. He kicked over the stone table with an angry face: "Have they ever thought that without me, there would be no great and prosperous Beili!"

Emperor Mingde was furious, and Jin Xuan bowed his head: "Your Majesty, calm down. Why are you angry with a group of rebels?"

Emperor Mingde took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, softened his tone, and continued: "Is Ye Xiaoying in the city?"

Jin Xuan quickly replied: "General Ye went with King Langya to quell the rebellion and is not in the city."

Emperor Mingde waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

After Jin Xuan left, Emperor Mingde slowly walked to the lotus pond, his expression serious, his brows furrowed, meaning unclear.

In the prison cell.

After hearing what the blind man said, Xiao Ruolin felt sympathy.

"You are right, you killed a beast, not worthy of being a human being. It doesn't matter if he is a member of the Xiao royal family, the beast should go to hell." Xiao Ruolin was angry.

The blind man's original name was Jiang Yichen. He was the youngest son of the Jiang family, the richest family in Xuzhou. His family had been engaged in business for generations and was well-off.

It was the richest family in Beili except for the Mu family, the richest family in Qingzhou.
