No matter how much Manager Fang didn't understand, he still shed tears and went out to find a buyer.
After all, it is a prince's palace, and if he, the chief manager, does not show up, no one would dare to buy this Prince Ji's palace based on Baicheng and the others alone.
King Ji's sale of his property was not something he did secretly. Almost everyone in the capital knew about it and said whatever they wanted.
What sounds good is the same speculation as before, that the treasury was empty and King Ji had no choice but to sell off his property to use it for court expenses.
If it doesn't sound good, it really sounds bad. It is said that although Prince Ji is now acting as an agent of the government, he does not need Prince Ji's palace at all. Even if he cannot directly ascend the throne and become emperor, he can live in the East Palace first.
If the palace is not sold, how can there be any excuse to live in the palace?
That night, Minister Jiang couldn't bear it anymore and went into the palace to see He Zexu.
"Zexu, there are no outsiders here. Tell uncle, what is going on? The treasury is not sufficient, but it is not to the point of asking you to sell the palace, right?" There was no one else in the palace, and Jiang Shilang was too worried, so he just used his uncle's
Identity asked.
He was imprisoned when the King of Yu's palace changed, but He Zexu only released him after he captured King Yu.
Because he was the uncle of King Ji, King Yu ordered people to do something to him. When he was rescued, he only had half his life left. He has been recuperating at home until now.
In fact, my body has not recovered yet, but when I heard that my nephew had sold off Prince Ji's Mansion and all his properties, I felt something was wrong, so I rushed over and wanted to ask questions in person.
Jiang Shilang knew very well what kind of temper his nephew had and did not believe the rumors outside at all.
"Uncle, nephew, I don't like the intrigues in the capital. You know this, I have always been like this. So, when I find my father, I plan to leave the capital and never come back, so,
First sell off all the property.
Although I, your nephew, am a prince, no matter where you are, you still need money." He Zexu told me with a smile.
After hearing this, Shilang Jiang frowned. He knew that his nephew didn't like intrigues. In fact, no one liked them. However, businessmen will intrigue for their own interests, so will brothers and sisters. The same is true in the officialdom.
Not to mention the royal family.
So, just because you don’t like intrigues, you have to leave the capital and never come back? You are the prince, my lord, how could you think so easily and just leave at the drop of a hat?
"Zexu, have you ever thought about what if your majesty can't come back if your uncle says something treasonous? Are you going to abandon this place and leave? In that case, my uncle asks you, have you been leading troops everywhere for more than ten years?
Rebellion and rebellion, why?
Isn't it because the people of Anyu Country can live a stable and peaceful life?" Jiang Shilang asked himself to stay calm and persuaded his nephew.
"Actually, you know it well in your heart, right? Why did King Yu grit his teeth and not let go? Is it possible that, your Majesty, he is already dead? It is very possible that he killed his father to seize the throne.
The reason why he has been unwilling to tell the whereabouts of His Majesty is because of fear. He knows that if he tells it, he will be dead." Seeing that He Zexu did not respond, Jiang Shilang continued.
He Zexu didn't say anything when he heard this. His uncle was right, he had indeed thought so.
That day when we captured King Yu, we searched inside and outside the palace, but we couldn't find our father. We also checked several times, and they all said that His Majesty was unwell that night. King Yu brought the doctor from the mansion, and since that night
, no one has seen His Majesty.
He Zexu felt that the reason why his father was still alive was that although King Yu was desperate and took that step, based on his understanding of the three emperors, if his father had been killed, then King Yu would probably tell the outside world
He claimed that his father died suddenly of an epidemic and would not hide his body.
"Zexu, of course my uncle doesn't want anything to happen to your majesty. Putting this issue aside, just take a look at the remaining royal brothers, your uncle and your nephews.
None of these people of the right age are qualified for the position of prince.
Not to mention those who are younger. At such a young age, you can only tell whether you are smart or not, but whether you have the ability to govern a country cannot be judged at all. In this case, why do you think that you don't like intrigues, so you have to stay away from the capital.
Is this a wrong place?
Do you think that even if you don't want to fight for the dragon throne, you can just go far away? How is that possible? What do others think of you? They won't trust you.
Zexu, you can think about it in your heart to be born in an emperor's family and live a life of freedom and ease.
Listen to your uncle, no matter whether His Majesty is alive or dead, what you have to do now is to shoulder this burden. The court cannot be left unattended, otherwise the court will be in chaos, and what about the common people?
You have to sit in the court and give reassurance to the civil and military officials. We will discuss the rest in the long term." Seeing that his nephew never responded to him, Jiang Shilang thought that he had made the right suggestion.
He believed that no matter what, he should appease his nephew first and focus on the court. When the time is right in the future, he would find several other ministers to join forces and push his nephew to sit on the throne.
He believed that as long as his nephew sat in that position and felt the satisfaction brought by possessing supreme power, he would probably refuse to give up the throne to others in the future.
"Uncle, you haven't recovered yet, so you shouldn't work too hard. Go back and rest quickly." He Zexu still couldn't listen.
Alas, looking at his nephew's reaction, Jiang Shilang knew that he had wasted his words, so he sighed and left.
That night, He Zexu still slept in the imperial study room.
Not feeling sleepy, he picked up the pen again and wanted to draw a portrait of Sanniang. After all, his eyes could see and he could see her.
However, I still held the pen dry and couldn't put it down.
His heart became irritable again because he still didn't know how to draw her. It could also be said that when he really planned to draw her, he realized that he couldn't remember her appearance.
I have obviously seen her on the streets of Malaysia City, I have also seen her in the government office, and I even went to a banquet to eat at the same table with her.
A few months had passed. She chased her out of the city that night. What she whispered to herself was very clear, but she couldn't remember her appearance, it was very vague.
Because, he didn't take other people's appearance seriously at all.
Finally, he threw the pen in his hand on the desk in annoyance, splattering the blank scroll with ink dots.
I hit my temple with my fist, what should I do? There is no news about my father, and I can't go to Sanniang for answers. Is it possible that I am stuck here?
Just when He Zexu was annoyed and irritable, the big problem that was bothering him actually took a big turn for the better...
