Su Zhaoyang went all the way to Jingzhou.

Liu Zaifu specially sent a team of personal guards and two doctors to escort him all the way.

"Fortunately, King Zhaoyang was treated by Dr. Xia in the palace. Now the scabs have formed on his back and new flesh has gradually begun to grow."

King Zhaoyang nodded, "Will it leave scars?"

The two doctors were not entirely sure.

"The barbs on this thorn have dug out a lot of skin. Even if it recovers as before, it will inevitably leave deep and shallow marks."

King Zhaoyang didn't ask any more questions. Before the scabs formed, it was hard to sleep every day and every night. Every time the dressing was changed, it was like being tortured again.

After changing the medicine, I would sweat profusely and often fall into coma due to exhaustion.

Now the wound has scabs, but as the new flesh grows, it makes me feel like there are maggots crawling on my back, I dare not scratch it and I can't bear it.

All these are "gifts" left to him by Li Yunxing.

The more painful it was, the more Su Zhaoyang had to remind himself to act more thoughtfully in the future. Otherwise, in front of Li Yunxing, he would never want to experience the feeling of being beaten and punished, being reduced to dust.

Hearing this, Su Xu, the servant beside King Zhaoyang, clenched his fists.

"Your Majesty! His Highness the Crown Prince has gone too far! You were kicked out of the palace by him before you even recovered from your injuries. Do you really think that he has succeeded to the throne?"

King Zhaoyang's expression froze, and then he reminded him not to speak nonsense.

"Su Xu, even if the prince doesn't ask, I will rush to Jingzhou as soon as possible."

"But your injury..." Su Xu was puzzled.

"The prince just made the choice that all wise kings would make, and I did the same. Compared with the common people of Li, my injuries are nothing."

Although Su Zhaoyang was not as capable as Li Yunxing in terms of experience and ability, he had also learned the ways of sages since he was a child, and he still had righteousness and justice in his heart when it came to the affairs of his family, country, and world.

Moreover, in order to cultivate him as a good competitor for the crown prince, and to make Su Zhaoyang a better puppet in the future, Liu Zhongqing would not bite him back at a critical moment.

Therefore, he did not teach him about the filth and corruption in officialdom. Therefore, compared to Liu Zhongqing, Su Zhaoyang was obviously much more pure and kind.

"Your Majesty, can your sincere heart really be seen by Emperor Wu?"

Su Xu had been King Zhaoyang's schoolboy since he was a child. He had seen King Zhaoyang being bullied by the prince and princess in the palace, so he naturally understood his sadness.

Even in his homework, he was the most well-spoken and prudent among the princes, and even his grades were first-rate.

But in the end, Emperor Wu only named him King Zhaoyang and sent him to a fief far away from the capital.

It was as if Su Zhaoyang had been sentenced to serve only as a minister for the rest of his life, and could only be Li Yunxing's minister.

"Su Xu, you and I both understand what the people want."

"Now that the prince is so domineering, it will definitely be difficult to stabilize people's hearts in the court."

"If I handle the Jingzhou flood properly, I will definitely be favored by the Holy Family. Then, it is not impossible that the Prince will no longer be favored by the Holy Spirit, and may even lose the Emperor's heart."

"So, we don't have to worry."

"Everything has its own will."

Su Zhaoyang looked at Su Xu with a smile, his eyes gentle but firm.

After listening to Su Zhaoyang's heartfelt words, Su Xu nodded in agreement.

Indeed, if a country cannot benefit its people, then it will be difficult to convince the people based on blood ties alone.

Even if he ascends the throne, he will not be able to maintain his power.

Therefore, every king must try his best to make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing.

Li Yunxing on the other side thought the same way.

Su Zhaoyang was sent to Jingzhou to govern. Although there were many improper methods, the Liu family was bound to secretly help him achieve good political results.

Regardless of whether the purpose is correct or not, as long as the result is what Li Yunxing wants, it is the best.

The most difficult thing to deal with now is food. Millions of stones of food can solve Jingzhou's urgent needs, but there is no guarantee that the people will be full in the next year.

What's more, if disaster relief continues, the Wu Dynasty's treasury will simply not be able to support it.

At that time, the entire Wu Dynasty will be in trouble.

But today, one person suddenly rebelled, which surprised Li Yunxing.

"I see His Highness the Crown Prince, who is a thousand years old and a thousand years old."

"Ai Qing, please be free!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince." Qi Ming stood up and looked at the man sitting on the high seat, with a dark flash in his eyes.

"I would like to report to His Highness the Crown Prince that His Highness's 20th birthday will be in three months. The palace has made several plans to celebrate His Highness's birthday. Please give your Highness your permission."

On the prince's 20th birthday, the princes of all dynasties would make great arrangements and entertain all civil and military officials.

Similarly, the prince's birthday gifts are extremely valuable and rare, and are allocated by the court.

Moreover, because Emperor Wu was seriously ill, Li Yunxing's birthday became even more important. This was also the reason why Dahong Qi Ming proposed this matter.

"The people have worked hard this year. If I organize birthdays again, wouldn't it make the people feel cold?"

The prince frowned and replied solemnly.

Hearing this, Qi Ming respectfully bent down and cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's birthday is not your birthday alone. Celebrating it with the whole world can also show the magnanimity of our Wu Dynasty and inspire the people to work hard."

"What's more, the Huns are frequently causing trouble in our northern border. If His Majesty the Emperor Wu and the Crown Prince don't come to suppress it, I'm afraid they will invade the south again soon, and then the war will spread..."

Qi Ming hesitated to speak, but the meaning behind his words had been expressed clearly.

This birthday is not just for Li Yunxing, but for everyone in the world.

The coming of all nations to the DPRK embodies the style of the Wu Dynasty as a great nation.

This is indeed a relatively peaceful diplomatic method. It can reach an alliance with other countries without spending a single soldier, thereby increasing mutual trust.

"Okay, since I think so, I agree."

After Li Yunxing heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he agreed cheerfully.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Qi Ming left with a face full of joy to prepare for the birthday banquet.

Li Yunxing knew that the reason why Qi Ming was so concerned was because he was not really thinking about him.

Da Honglu was in charge of politics and diplomacy. If foreign countries came to Wuchao to celebrate their birthdays, all birthday gifts would go through his hands.

If Qi Ming could take the opportunity to make money or gain a sense of presence in front of Fan Bang, how could he give up this opportunity?

Li Yunxing sneered coldly in his heart, but he was too lazy to expose Qi Ming's thoughts.

If Qi Ming wants to be greedy, Li Yunxing will give him the opportunity to be greedy. Even a three-year-old child knows that this pig must be raised until the New Year and fattened before being killed.

He is the crown prince of a country and the prince who supervises the country. It is impossible for him to accept bribes, so let others do it. In the end, he took back the financial rights in the name of anti-corruption, leaving him with nothing to gain.
