"Well, it is said that it was because of his weak health that the master's divination said that he had to leave the capital to recuperate before he could get better, so the Wei family reluctantly sent him away. In all these years, I have only seen Young Master Wei once in the Duke's Mansion.
Chen is mediocre, not as outstanding as his grandfather, maybe more like his father."
Wei Dalang was not very outstanding, he was still thinking about it at that time.
No wonder Duke Wei wanted to protect the ninth prince from the throne, just so that the Wei family could gain a firm foothold in the Eastern Capital City and be prosperous for another hundred years.
Unexpectedly, he also made mistakes sometimes!
Princess Qianling once revealed that Sun Hao was captured by Wei Shaochen. If he was also in Qingzhou, there is no chance that Sun Hao would also be here.
It actually kills two birds with one stone.
"Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
Xiao Tingyi's guarantee has always been useful.
Because he trained the secret guards of Prince Ding's Mansion with his own hands, so he naturally knew their capabilities.
Therefore, within two days, Xu Lin brought back a piece of good news.
Feng Jinxu was indeed not dead.
And King Ding’s previous guess was completely correct.
Wei Shaochen had indeed taken refuge with the Sixth Prince, and the fire at Qingzhou Station was deliberately arranged by them.
The "burned" materials are now well hidden in the warehouse, and no one is suspicious.
It seems that Qingzhou has long been reduced to a base camp for the six princes to fight for power and profit.
Otherwise, why would he go around in such a big circle?
As a prince, he has never been taken seriously for so many years.
He obviously had the opportunity to inherit the throne, but he was overshadowed by the brilliance of the eldest prince and the ninth prince.
Including his mother-in-law, in the harem, even though she was a concubine, not many people took her seriously.
Thinking of this, Feng Jinyao couldn't help but feel sorry for Emperor Qi.
So what if you are in a high position, what if you have imperial power?
His queens, concubines, sons and daughters are all planning how to get more benefits from him.
No wonder people say it’s cold at high places.
The emperor's throne has both a fatal attraction and the accumulation of countless flesh and blood.
Feng Jinyao's eyes suddenly showed compassion when she looked at Prince Ding.
Xiao Tingyi looked back at her funny, "Throw away those weird things in your mind. I have a very good relationship with my father, and I never intend to seize that position. It's just that the emperor's brother has been obsessed with power.
That’s all.”
That's why he has been pretending to be ill for more than ten years.
That's why he withdrew from the court and pretended to be unknown.
Therefore, no matter how many things he did behind the scenes that were beneficial to Da Jin, these were destined not to be recorded in the records.
Therefore, his glory will always remain at the age of seventeen, when he became a god in the first battle.
I have to say that after thinking about these things, Feng Jinyao felt a little sorry for Xiao Tingyi.
Although it is not good to pursue fame and fortune, it is not an exaggeration to think that his achievements will go down in history, but now he can only remain unknown and gradually be lost in history.
It's a pity, it's deplorable, and it's also very respectable.
The closer I got to Xiao Tingyi, the more I was impressed by every aspect of him.
He is good at seeking power, but he does not use his power to harm others.
He likes to scheme, but he only attacks those corrupt officials.
He raised secret guards not for the purpose of fighting for power and gain, but just as a way to save his life.
He has an astonishing talent for governing the country, but he does not show it in front of others and only does it silently.
Feng Jinyao could understand it but couldn't understand it, but this kind of specious person came into her heart little by little. By the time she discovered it, it was already too late to withdraw.
Therefore, we can only move forward hand in hand.
You are as strong as a rock, but I am as tough as silk, Feng Jinyao said to herself secretly in her heart.
After a trip to Qingzhou, they didn't see Feng Jinxu in the end.
Because Wei Shaochen was a very vigilant person, Feng Jinxu managed to stay here secretly to investigate everything related to the Sixth Prince. Therefore, Feng Jinyao and Xiao Tingyi planned to continue their journey north to the Eastern Capital City.
Apart from other things, it is better to tell your relatives at home in advance about the news that your eldest brother is not dead, otherwise it will be bad if your eldest sister-in-law cannot bear it for a while.
So, they came and went without a trace until they arrived in the Eastern Capital City.
No outsider knew that they had visited Qingzhou on the way.
And the Sixth Prince didn't know that the secret they had been planning for so many years had finally been discovered.
At the moment, he is busy showing his face in the flood relief work in Southwest China.
Wen Zhonghe had heard very little about the Sixth Prince's name, but he didn't expect that after getting along with him for a few days, he unexpectedly clicked with him.
Probably because they all have someone they remember in common.
As Wen Zhonghe's son-in-law, Feng Jinxu had a very strong presence, so when Wen Zhonghe heard that he died in Qingzhou, he almost breathed his last breath.
Fortunately, the Sixth Prince was always relieved, but Wen Zhonghe still couldn't hide his grief.
"My daughter and her virtuous husband have only been married for a few years. Now she is pregnant, so my wife went to the capital to accompany her in giving birth. Unexpectedly, after the child was born, her virtuous husband was gone. How will she live in the future?"
The sixth prince also looked miserable at the loss of his friend, and for this he gained the trust of many Wen Zhonghe.
There was not much time left for them to grieve due to the flood, so they could only continue their official duties after crying bitterly.
After the Sixth Prince arrived in the southwest, he naturally kept in close contact with news from the Eastern Capital City, and prepared memorials about the situation here to report to Emperor Qi at all times.
After hearing that the reconstruction of the Southwest was going well, Emperor Qi's love for the Sixth Prince was beyond words.
He expressed his happiness that he would promote Concubine Liu Xian to the throne.
She has been in the position of concubine for many years, and now that the position of concubine has been vacated, there is nothing wrong with her moving up.
This matter was readily approved by the Queen.
The position of imperial concubine, along with the deputy empress, fell on the Wei family's daughter in the past. Not only did she oppose her everywhere, but she also had a vague tendency to replace her.
But Concubine Liu Xian's promotion was different. She had been well-behaved in the harem for more than 20 years, and the queen had figured out all her temperaments, so helping her up did not pose a threat.
Moreover, the position of imperial concubine can be occupied. Even if the Japanese imperial guards want to make a comeback, they can only occupy the position of imperial concubine. They will no longer be able to show off their power and act as wantonly as in the past.
Therefore, while Concubine Liu Xian was still recuperating in the palace, the news outside had already spread.
Emperor Qi originally wanted to grant him the title during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but was blocked by the queen.
"Your Majesty, I remember that Sister Liu's birthday is in October. It might be better to be promoted to the throne by then. The Mid-Autumn Festival is only a few days away. I'm afraid it's too late to organize a proper Jinfeng Banquet."
Everyone wanted to be promoted, but the delay of one month was enough to make preparations. Emperor Qi didn't think too much and nodded in agreement.
"What the Queen said makes sense. In that case, let the Queen handle everything."
