Chapter 617: Going to Beijing as a Hostage

Gu Fei didn't feel Xiao Yu's nervousness and fear at all, and chuckled, "That depends on your performance."

This did not comfort Xiao Yu, and it was not the answer he wanted.

He closed his eyes, "You are not allowed to leave me, never leave me."

He repeated this sentence many times.

Gu Fei gradually felt that something was wrong, but she just thought that Xiao Yu went to Qingyun Villa because of the death of his master and mistress, and felt the impermanence of the world.

She patted Xiao Yu's back soothingly and whispered, "No, as long as you don't do anything to let me down, I won't leave you."

Xiao Yu gradually calmed down and slowly let go of Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was waiting for Xiao Yu to come back and tell him about the master, so she pulled him to sit down, "There is something I want to discuss with you."

"I have a master--"

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say that all those words before were nonsense? You really have a master?"

Gu Fei smiled embarrassedly, "This is really my master."

"My master has never married in his life. He has no children and is lonely. I want to take my master to my side to take good care of him."

Xiao Yu nodded, "In that case, just take him. I'll just tell my father and mother."

Gu Fei hesitated, "It's my master's identity--"

At this point, there was a knock on the door outside, accompanied by Lian'er's voice, "My Lord, the prince heard that you are back and asked you to come over."

Xiao Yu stood up, "I'll be there soon."

Entering the study of King Qi, he saw King Qi sitting behind the desk with a stern face.

Seeing Xiao Yu come in, King Qi pointed to a document on the table, "Take a look."

Xiao Yu picked it up and saw that it was an imperial edict.

The edict reads:

The Great Ying Dynasty has been established for nearly three hundred years. Today, the royal children are ignorant, arrogant and extravagant. I am deeply depressed. Therefore, I order the royal children and princes to go to the Imperial College every day to listen to lectures and cultivate their moral character, so as to live up to the teachings of Emperor Taizu.

The princes of all regions are ordered to arrive in Beijing before March 10.

After reading the edict, Xiao Yu's face darkened.

If the imperial edict only represents the personal will of the emperor, then the edict not only represents the emperor's will, but also has been approved by the court and issued layer by layer.

Failure to obey the edict is a violation of the law, and the Red Guards can come to arrest people.

The King of Qi sneered at this time, "I said Xiao Shuo was narrow-minded, and I was right about him."

"This is to make the princes come to Beijing as hostages!"

"Too shameless!"

Xiao Yu frowned, "When did this edict arrive?"

The King of Qi said, "It was issued half a month ago. Because you were not here, I didn't even tell your mother. She would only cry if I told her."

He sighed, "This matter is inevitably related to my scolding the emperor before."

"But this is not the only reason."

"I heard that some time ago , the victims of the disaster in Xishan County were in chaos, and there were incidents of attacking government offices in various places. The emperor issued an edict to reprimand the King of Dai for his ineffective disaster relief. "

"The King of Dai jumped up and down at home and scolded the emperor severely."

"Now, chaos is frequent in various parts of the north. The court is ineffective in disaster relief and cannot suppress the refugees. The emperor is afraid that the princes will take the opportunity to revolt, so he can only hold the princes in his hands."

Xiao Yu sneered, "What's the use of that? Those who should rebel will still rebel."

"If someone like the King of Dai has many sons, he will not care about the princes in the capital if he really wants to rebel."
