Chapter 610 Prince Rong

After this thought took root in his heart, Prince Rong collapsed completely, no longer standing straight as before.

After a long silence, he raised his head and said.

"I can die, but can the prince and General Gu spare the lives of my brothers? They have never been people who fight for power and profit. Just send them to the fiefdom far away. Even if they have to be trapped for a lifetime, at least they can live."

When the prince heard this, he still felt a little emotional.

"I took the position that should have belonged to you. Don't you hate me?"

"Hate? The change of imperial power is just the most common thing. Speaking of it, the country of Daxing Dynasty was also seized by my grandfather from the previous dynasty. You and I are of the same roots and are both descendants of the Xie family. What's the difference between me taking the throne and you taking the throne?"

"And since General Gu 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 the world should be a virtuous person, right?"

Hearing this, the prince admired him a little more.

Prince Rong is not old, but he thinks very clearly. It must be said that the teachings of Minister Guo when he was here did have results.

"Prince Rong is righteous, and I have remembered it in my heart. I will never let General Gu down and today's conversation. I will definitely take Daxing to a higher level!"

After the words fell, the prince left without much nostalgia.

After Gu Shaoyu handed him a bottle of medicine, he didn't say anything else. Prince Rong smiled and looked at Gu Shaoyu, and only said one last sentence.

"After I die, my mother and the Earl's Mansion will definitely be dissatisfied. If they really make a fuss, you can give them this letter. The second half of the lives of the royal brothers will be left to General Gu. Try to leave them a successor."

Gu Shaoyu nodded, and the look he gave Prince Rong was much gentler 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 taught me all my life. I am willing to repay his kindness in the underworld!"

Suddenly mentioning Prime Minister Guo, Gu Shaoyu also felt a little sad.

But at this point, he could no longer turn back. He could only watch Prince Rong drink the poison in the bottle with his own eyes, and then quietly passed away.

"Prince Rong, have a good trip!"

Gu Shaoyu bid farewell to Prince Rong solemnly. When he left the house, he had regained his previous indifference and fortitude.

After they left, a burst of urgent crying came from Prince Rong's mansion.

Such news soon spread like wildfire and went to the dignitaries and clansmen. Everyone knew who did it, but no one dared to speak casually.

It snowed for three days and three nights, and the whole Sui'an City was plunged into snow.

At the same time, in the palace, Prince Rong's mansion also hung white banners. The people who didn't know the truth were all lamenting that this winter was too terrible. The royal family suddenly had so many turmoil, but it didn't get chaotic. It was really a bit confusing.

It was the end of the year, and every household began to stock up on New Year's goods. Now they were afraid that the court would have another change, so many people stocked up on rice, flour, grain and oil, and the prices naturally rose a lot.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi teamed up with the Han family and supplied the large amount of goods that had been hoarded to the market. The price was still the annual price of last year, but the transaction of large orders was restricted. Therefore, the price was suppressed before it could soar.

The people benefited, so they naturally would not make 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 to marry. Her trick makes those who want to take advantage of the chaos beat their chests and stamp their feet."

Gu Shaoyu knew the ability of his wife, so when others praised her, he also sincerely thought she was amazing.

"Over the years, all the family affairs have been taken care of by the wife. 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 me, can I be a wise ruler who doesn't envy wise ministers and generals?"

"I dare not, but when I was cleaning up the Dingping Marquis's Mansion, I accidentally learned from him that my grandfather and his men died on the battlefield. After many years, I want to go back and take a look. If there is really someone behind this, I will definitely make those people pay with blood!"

"The Battle of Jince?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, the prince stopped talking, stood up and walked over after a while, and said to Gu Shaoyu solemnly.

"After I ascend the throne, General Gu can go if he wants to. As for the family... it's not good to keep you separated. If your wife and children are willing, they can go with you."

"Thank you for your help, prince!"

Gu Shaoyu bowed to the prince, and the prince helped him up, and then said solemnly.

"As the king of today, I will always remember the general's kindness. I hope you and I can break the old rules and do something practical for the people of the world."

"I obey your orders!"

On the day when Xuese saw the light of day, news came from the palace that Empress Yan was too sad and had gone crazy.

Now, most of the concubines who can make decisions in the harem have died, 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 didn't expect that he would encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he was faintly excited.

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 an "opportunity from heaven", even if he knows there may be pitfalls ahead, he is still willing to go for it.

So, I went to the palace that day.

When he found Concubine Hui, he blurted out that she had some thoughts about the throne. Concubine Hui was so shocked that she covered his mouth and said immediately.

"My son, get rid of this thought quickly. 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 was carried out. Would the person who did these things let you just pick the fruit? Why don’t you come out and seek death?”

Although Concubine Hui didn't have any 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)
