MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 610 Prince Rong
After this thought took root in his heart, Prince Rong's whole body collapsed, and his back was no longer as straight as before.
After being silent for a while, he raised his head and said.
"The king can die, but can the prince and general Gu spare the lives of their younger brothers? They have never been people who strive for power and gain. As long as they are sent to the fiefdom at a high altitude and far away, even if they have to be trapped for a lifetime, at least Can live."
When he heard this, the prince still felt a little emotional.
“Don’t you hate me for taking the seat that should belong to you?”
"Hate? The change of imperial power is just the most common thing. Speaking of which, the country of Daxing Dynasty was also taken from the previous dynasty by my grandfather. You and I have the same roots and are both descendants of the Xie family. What difference does it make if I take the throne and you take the throne?"
"Since the general has chosen you, it means that you are definitely a capable person. My father is dead and I am a weak and incompetent person. The king of this world should be a virtuous person, right?"
Hearing this, the prince was more impressed.
Prince Rong is not very old, but his thinking is very clear. It must be said that the teachings given to him by Prime Minister Guo when he was here did bear fruit.
“Prince Rong’s righteousness, Xiao Wang has already engraved it in his heart. He will never let down General Gu’s help and today’s dialogue. He will definitely take Daxing to a higher place!”
After saying this, the prince didn’t linger much and left the place.
Gu Shaoyu handed him a bottle of medicine without saying anything else. Prince Rong glanced at Gu Shaoyu with a smile and said the last thing.
"After my death, the Queen Mother and the Earl's Mansion will definitely be unconvinced. If they really make trouble, just give this letter to them. The rest of the royal brothers' journey will be entrusted to General Gu. Try your best to Leave them behind."
Gu Shaoyu nodded and looked at Prince Rong with a much gentler look than before.
"In addition, if there is a chance, I hope General Gu can take me back to Jinling City. I want to be buried next to my great-grandfather. He has taught me all my life. I am willing to repay his kindness to the ground!"
The sudden mention of Prime Minister Guo made Gu Shaoyu feel a little embarrassed.
But there was no turning back at this point. He could only watch Prince Rong drink the poison in the bottle with his own eyes, and then pass away quietly.
“Prince Rong, go well!”
Gu Shaoyu solemnly bid farewell to Prince Rong. By the time he left the house, he had regained his previous indifference and fortitude.
After they left, there was a burst of urgent crying from Prince Rong's palace.
And such news quickly spread like wildfire, heading towards the dignitaries and clan members. Everyone knew who had done this, but no one dared to speak casually.
It snowed heavily for three days and three nights, and the entire city of Sui'an was covered in white snow.
At the same time, white flags were hung in the palace and Prince Rong's Mansion. People who didn't know the truth were lamenting that this winter was so terrible. There was so much turmoil in the royal family suddenly, but there was no chaos yet. It was really It's a bit confusing.
It is the end of the year, and every household has begun to stock up on New Year's goods. Now they are afraid that there will be another change in the court, so many people are stocking up on rice, flour, grains and oils, and the prices have naturally risen a lot.
Seeing this, Du Jingyi joined forces with the Han family to supply a large amount of things that had been hoarded before to the market. The price was still last year's price, but the transaction of large orders was restricted. Therefore, the price was not so high before it was sold out. Suppressed.
When the people get benefits, they will naturally stop making trouble. When the prince saw these reports in the mansion, he couldn't help but smile and said.
“General Gu’s wife is really the right one, and her skills will make those who want to take advantage of the chaos beat their chests and feet.”
Gu Shaoyu knows his wife's abilities, so when others praise her, he sincerely thinks she is great.
“In the past few years, my wife has been taking care of everything at home. I promised her that I would go home after this matter is over.”
The prince looked at Gu Shaoyu, but he didn't look distrustful at all. Instead, he asked him quite frankly.
“You don’t believe it either, can I be a wise king who is not jealous of his virtuous ministers and good generals?”
"I don't dare. It's just that when I was cleaning up Dingpinghou Mansion, I accidentally learned something from him about the death of my grandfather and others in the battle. After so many years, I want to go back and have a look. If it is true that there is someone involved in this matter. If you are causing trouble behind your back, I will definitely make those people pay with blood!"
“The Battle of Jince?”
"Um."
Hearing this, the prince stopped talking. After a while, he stood up and walked over, and said solemnly to Gu Shaoyu.
"After I ascend the throne, General Gu can go if he wants to. As for the family... it is difficult for you to be separated forever. If your wife and children are willing, they can also go with you."
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!”
Gu Shaoyu bowed to the prince, and the prince gave him a hand, and then said solemnly.
"In today's position, I will always remember the kindness of the general. I hope that you and I can break the rules and do something practical for the people of the world."
“My lord, take your orders!”
On the day when the snowy sky saw the light of day, news came from the palace that Queen Yan was overly sad and had gone crazy.
Nowadays, in the harem, the concubines who can take charge are almost dead, so Concubine Hui, who gave birth to the second and fourth princes, was pushed out and forced to take over the affairs of the harem.
The second prince did not expect that such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would come to him like this, so he was filled with a faint excitement.
Ever since he got married, on the surface, the prince has been obedient to everything, but secretly he has also cultivated some power of his own. However, such power is naturally not enough in front of the Earl's Palace and Prime Minister Xing, so they have never paid attention to the corners. What kind of alienation does the second prince have?
But now all the forces standing in front of him are gone. Faced with such a "natural opportunity", even if he knows there may be pitfalls ahead, he is still willing to go for it.
So he went to the palace that day.
When he found Concubine Hui, he blurted out that he had some thoughts about the throne. Concubine Hui was so shocked that he covered his mouth and said immediately.
"My son, let's get rid of this thought. Is this the throne? It's clearly a man-eating monster! Your Majesty, Prince Rong, the Seventh Prince, and the people behind them are trying to steal from this palace one after another. I don’t know how much it will be carried out. Would the person who did these things let you just pick the fruit? If you show up now, are you looking for death? ! ”
Although Concubine Hui didn’t have much foresight, she was able to protect her four children and grow up. She couldn’t have done it without some wisdom, so everything she said made sense! (End of chapter)
