Happy Little Scholar

The emperor was ill, but he expelled the prince who was most qualified to inherit the throne from the capital. This is a very ridiculous thing no matter how you look at it.

Not to mention how much turmoil it will cause in the DPRK, I am afraid it will also cause some panic among the people.

However, what the King of Shu did this time was indeed a taboo, and the courtiers were not surprised by His Majesty's decision.

In any case, that position still belongs to Your Majesty now. Although it will probably belong to the King of Shu in the future, the King of Shu cannot take it if His Majesty does not give it to you.

Using behavior that is nothing less than rebellion to build momentum for oneself ultimately leads to this result.

This time, he was not unjust at all.

"Leaving now?" Li Yi sighed, his tone a bit sad.

This is no ordinary petty quarrel. The King of Shu is going to rebel. He doesn't expect to be dragged out and beheaded. He has to be deprived of his royal title, demoted to a commoner, exiled for three thousand miles, and not allowed to return to the capital for the rest of his life...

The old emperor was still too kind and lacked the courage of an emperor through the ages. This was not the first time he felt this way.

After watching the excitement, when he was about to go home, he saw a figure limping towards this side in the distance. Li Han was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "I have seen the emperor brother."

The King of Shu had a dull expression. He raised his head and glanced this way. Even when he saw Li Yi and Li Xuan, the expression on his face did not fluctuate much.

After all, compared to what just happened to him, some things were not worth mentioning.

Seeing the King of Shu lowering his head and not even looking at himself, Li Han scratched his head in confusion and waved, "Goodbye, brother!"

Goodbye, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Li Yi shook his head, turned around and walked out of the palace.

The tsundere loli yelled from behind, "Sir, wait for me, I'll go back and change a big box..."

After becoming a big girl, the old emperor seems to have really relaxed his discipline on the tsundere loli. The treatment is gradually getting closer to that of the eldest princess, and she does not even need to give special permission to leave the palace.

Outside a certain palace, while waiting for her to go in to change clothes and a big box, she accidentally glanced sideways and saw an archway. Two eunuchs dragged a man out and walked past him.

The man must have been tortured with a cane, his back was broken, and he looked like he had more air coming in and less air coming out.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A place like the palace seemed bright and majestic, but in fact there were many dark and dirty things going on secretly. Not only did the overt and secret fights happen between the concubines, but sometimes even the princess was involved.

Yongning and Tsundere Loli are still young now. When they get older, they will probably be exposed to some things more or less. With their ability, they can't fight against those people. In two years, Her Royal Highness the Princess will... Now that the palace has moved out, the two of them, especially Yongning, are really uneasy.

When he was thinking about these things in his mind, in a palace not far from here, more than ten eunuchs and maidens were standing in the courtyard, their heads lowered, their bodies trembling slightly, and they were as silent as cicadas.

The imperial concubine smashed all the precious vases in the palace early this morning. A servant who went in to clean up was hit with dozens of canes and passed out. Even His Highness the King of Shu was slapped and scolded by the empress. Less than half an hour.

At this moment, no one dared to approach the palace gate.

"We haven't lost yet!"

In the empty hall, the woman in palace clothes smashed the last precious porcelain, took out a sealed envelope from her sleeve, and said: "You go out of the palace and deliver this letter to the head of the family with your own hands." Go on, and let him ask what the Qin family really means!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." A high-pitched voice came from the darkness. Someone came out, responded, and quickly disappeared into the hall.

…

…

Although the court is far away from ordinary people, some major events in the court cannot be hidden from the people of Kyoto.

They were not aware of the demotions or transfers of certain officials, but His Highness the King of Shu was about to leave Kyoto and go to the fiefdom. Not long after leaving the morning court, word spread throughout Kyoto at a whirlwind speed.

After all, the King of Shu is a hot figure in Kyoto in recent days. From being ridiculed by everyone and being called the "Rat King" to the series of omens, it all shows that he is the real Dragon Emperor. His reputation has risen again. Until I was expelled from Beijing today, in just a few days, my experience has been full of twists and turns.

Even the vendors in the vegetable market will chat with each other when they have nothing to do.

"Didn't it say that the emperor was going to pass the throne to the King of Shu? Why was he suddenly kicked out?"

"Who do you listen to when it comes to passing positions?"

"Everyone is saying, even the fox is saying, that the King of Shu should be the emperor, how can he still lie?"

"Shit, you don't believe those words. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that those things were all caused by the King of Shu himself. Anyone who believes that is a fool..."

"What, is this all done by the King of Shu himself?"

"Nonsense, otherwise, how could he be kicked out of the capital? Let me tell you, he is still too impatient..."

…

…

In just half a day, the "truth" of the matter spread among the people.

After people praised the King of Shu for a few days, they discovered that it turned out that the Rat King was still the same Rat King. He had not changed at all. He had done so many things and it turned out that he was deceiving them. Now, it was better. Even the fox could deceive the heaven and the earth. He lied, but he didn't lie to His Majesty. He was sent far away, and it was really like stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

Regarding this matter, even the government did not interfere much, but deliberately guided it.

After all, it doesn’t matter whether the King of Shu did it or not. What matters is that the impact of this incident on the people should be eliminated as soon as possible. If it is used by someone with ulterior motives, it may cause a big mess.

Qi and Zhao have envoys in Kyoto. If this matter is not settled as soon as possible, when they pass the news back, the enemy country will make a fuss, which will be very detrimental to the stability of the government.

This time, the King of Shu and his family suffered heavy losses. Not only were their forces in the court purged, but they were also far away from the center of power and went to the distant Shuzhou. It is unknown when they can come back.

I don’t know how many people in the court have worked hard for more than ten years, and they were destroyed in an instant.

At this time, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes stood at the door of Qin’s house, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Prime Minister Qin is seriously ill, is it inconvenient to see guests?"

The Qin family servant said helplessly, "Please forgive me, dear guest."

The middle-aged man showed a thoughtful look on his face, and turned away after a while.

A man beside him asked worriedly, "Master, what should we do now?"

"Let's go to Chen's house." The middle-aged man took a deep breath and whispered.

In the Chen Guogong Mansion, Chen Qing, the master of the family, had just welcomed a distinguished guest. The two dismissed all the servants and had been talking in the room for a whole hour.

Chen Chong, the second master of the Chen family, walked into a small courtyard with his hands behind his back. He met a maid and waved and asked, "How is the young lady's health?"

The maid hurriedly said, "Second Master, I feel much better after getting up today. I got the Heart Sutra written by Master Tan Yin in Hanshan Temple two days ago. Now I am chanting in the Buddhist hall. Do you want me to inform them?"

"Okay, I'll go there by myself, you go and do your work." Chen Chong waved his hand and continued to walk into the courtyard.

He walked slowly to the outside of the Buddhist hall and heard a low humming sound coming from inside. He did not disturb it. After the sound disappeared, he walked in.

"Are there any guests at home today?" The white-haired, pretty woman knelt on a futon and said softly.

"An important guest came and is talking to my eldest brother." Chen Chong nodded and said, "You have just recovered from a cold, you should rest well in your room."

The woman sighed and said, "The child Li Xin is gone. I want to recite scriptures for him. When he came to the mansion as a child, I held him in my arms. I didn't expect that things are unpredictable..."

Chen Chong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I have recited the scriptures. Come, I will help you back to your room."

"Second brother, please stop now." The woman lowered her head and suddenly whispered.

"What?" Chen Chong asked in confusion.

"Please stop now?" The woman looked up at him and said in a trembling voice, "Don't embarrass that child anymore... Li Xin, Li Xin's surname is also Chen. How can you do it!"

Chen Chong's body shook, his fists clenched, and his nails sank into the flesh.

After a moment, he sighed, walked over, helped her smooth a strand of hair, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Second brother will listen to you."

He looked at the woman with silver hair and a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and smiled slightly, but there was a flash of deep pain and hatred in his eyes.

"The preparations were still a bit hasty." He sighed again and said this in his heart.

【ps: There was a power outage at home during the day, and I haven't figured out how to arrange the next plot yet, so this chapter is the only one today. 】
