Chapter 618: You Have to Go

King Qi glared at Xiao Yu, "I only have you as my legitimate son!"

"I have put so much effort into cultivating you carefully since childhood."

"If you enter Beijing, will I still dare to make a move?"

Xiao Yu smiled at Qi Wang and said, "My father is very affectionate, and my son is very pleased."

King Qi kicked him, "Don't be so glib. Tell me, what should I do?"

Xiao Yu's eyes fell on the edict on the table, "What else can be done? If you don't arrive in the capital by the time limit, I'm afraid Zhu Yiwei will come to get you."

"Can father be able to watch his son being kidnapped by Zhu Yiwei?"

King Qi slapped the table, "If we really do that, I will really rebel!"

Xiao Yu shook his head, "Father, you must not risk the disapproval of the world."

"Isn't it just a matter of going to Beijing as a pledge? I'll just go."

King Qi had nothing to do, and he couldn't really rebel now. He walked around behind the desk and said, "Damn it, Xiao Shuo. He doesn't even think about rescuing the disaster and appeasing the refugees. He knows how to torment these ministers all day long. What's going on?" Misplaced!"

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Father, you must calm down. This drought has been going on for two years. This is the third year. King Dai and King Jin have not received any taxes for two years, let alone this year. I'm afraid Not even a penny of taxes can be collected, and their life is difficult. The emperor is not only unsympathetic, but also issued an edict to reprimand them. Who knows how long they can endure it. "

King Qi narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, "My son is right."

After he finished speaking, he sighed again, "You are going to the capital. If your mother and concubine find out, I don't know what will happen. Oh, it will be a headache."

Xiao Yu cupped his hands and said, "Father, don't worry, I will comfort my mother and concubine."

King Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Go and tell your mother and concubine properly."

Xiao Yu exited, walked slowly, and returned to his yard first.

Gu Fei was waiting for him, and she hadn't finished speaking just now.

Xiao Yu came in, his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he grabbed her hand, "There is bad news."

"The emperor issued an edict saying that we, the royal children, are arrogant and extravagant, and that the princes of the vassals from all over the world should go to the capital to study."

Gu Fei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Reading?"

"Should I ask you to come to Beijing as hostage?"

Xiao Yujun showed a wry smile and nodded, "If you follow me, you will suffer again."

Gu Fei shook his head. No wonder all the vassal kings rebelled against him in the last years of the British Dynasty. The emperor was too arrogant in his actions.

Although there were cases in other dynasties where the son of a vassal prince came to the capital as a hostage, they made it look good by giving someone an official position in the capital, which was nominally allowing you to come to the capital as an official.

Now, this emperor not only refused to grant him an official position, but even scolded him. He was such a coward. At least, if he could give him some face, everyone would be able to step down.

Besides, there is no reason for all the princes and princes to come to the capital. This clearly means that I don't trust you princes, I am afraid that you will rebel, and I will use your sons as hostages.

Who can feel happy about this?

Xiao Yu took her hand and said, "Go to the mother-in-law's place and have dinner with her. You have to talk to her about this matter."

As the two held hands and went out, Gu Fei suddenly remembered something, "By the way, where is Dugu Yin?"

Xiao Yu said casually: "My mother-in-law arranged a courtyard for her to live in."

"I'm afraid she will have to live in the house for a few more years. After she is born, we will find a family for her."

Gu Fei nodded and said nothing.

The two entered the princess's house. The princess came in when she saw her son and daughter-in-law holding hands. She smiled and said, "You're just in time, the food has just been passed around."
