Phi-Fic Chapter 284 Riot
Chapter 284 Riot
"Well, then you go by yourself. If you go, I will give you the jade coral that my father gave me not long ago. Haven't you always wanted it?" Jiang Yu took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Is this true?!"
Jiang Che's eyes lit up immediately, and he confirmed excitedly: "As long as I go, will you really give it to me?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Jiang Yu glanced at him, shook his head, and said with some regret: "If you don't want to, forget it. After all, your martial arts skills are not high. If something happens to you, your mother will be sad and thousands of girls in Yanjing will be unable to eat and sleep. What should we do?"
"Go, go, go," Jiang Che held Jiang Yu's arm, "Who said I won't go? I'll go. I have nothing to fear if my martial arts skills are not high!"
He paused, then said with a flattering smile, "Isn't it that Ye Mu is here? What's the big deal? Bah, bah, bah, it doesn't exist."
He leaned closer to Jiang Yu and said, "Sixth Brother, since you have to give it to me sooner or later, why not give me the jade coral now? I can't wait to see it."
Jiang Che rubbed his hands, his face full of anticipation.
Jiang Yu curled his lips and smiled: "Why rush? Since it will be yours sooner or later, why rush it now?"
Jiang Che's arrogance gradually faded, and he pursed his lips and said reluctantly: "Well, Sixth Brother, we agreed, you can't go back on your word."
He confirmed it again and again. After all, his sixth brother was a cunning man and who knew if he was being fooled.
He stood up and straightened his clothes: "Then I'll go back and get ready. Sister-in-law, do you want me to take you there?"
Jiang Che raised his hand towards Yun Shuning, but before she could respond, he suddenly felt a thorn in his back.
He withdrew his hand in dismay, turned his head stiffly and looked at Jiang Yu, whose eyes were enough to kill people, and smiled awkwardly: "Blame me for talking too much, you guys continue, you guys continue."
After saying this, he took the opportunity to slip away.
Yun Shuning called out to him, "Your Highness Prince Rong, please give me a ride."
She gently took Jiang Yu's hand, looked into his deep eyes and said, "It's getting late. If I go back too late, my parents and my brother will be worried again."
Jiang Yu held her hand and kissed her lips gently: "I didn't think it through."
Jiang Che had a bitter face. He shouldn't be here. He should be under the car.
Jiang Yu held Yun Shuning in his arms and sent her to the carriage. He looked in the direction of his heart and could no longer see her figure. Then he said, "Ye Mu."
A dark figure immediately flashed behind him, lowered his head and leaned forward and said, "My Lord."
"Prince Rong will be going to Liuzhou with the Crown Prince soon. You will go with him disguised as his personal bodyguard, protect him, report the news in a timely manner, and keep in touch with Yanjing."
Ye Mu straightened his back a little, his dark eyes flickered in the night, he seemed to be struggling for a while, and finally lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes."
The moonlight merged into the clouds and was blown away by the wind, shining the morning light into the windows of the Great Yan Imperial City.
Jiang Che stood in a golden light and said in a loud voice: "Father, the Crown Prince is going to Liuzhou to investigate the sudden death incident. I want to go with him. First, I can help the Crown Prince and assist him in resolving the chaos in Liuzhou. Second, I also want to take this opportunity to exercise. Please allow me to do so."
As soon as these words were spoken, discussions broke out in the Golden Palace.
Jiang Hong's expression remained unchanged. He just glanced at Jiang Che without saying anything.
Emperor Jingsheng, on the other hand, looked extremely surprised. "What did you say? You said you wanted to go to Liuzhou with the Crown Prince to investigate? Did your mother agree?"
Unlike Jiang Yu, Concubine Xi treated Jiang Che like a woman and ordered him to stay away from any dangerous things. She also repeatedly warned Emperor Jingsheng not to let him participate in any dangerous political affairs.
"My mother has agreed," Jiang Yu glanced at Jiang Che and said calmly, "Prince Rong has lived in Yanjing for a long time. This trip to Liuzhou will not only broaden his horizons, but also help him understand the government affairs of the court. I'll have to trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take good care of Prince Rong along the way."
Emperor Jingsheng nodded slowly, but did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he looked at Jiang Hong and said, "Prince, what do you think?"
Jiang Hong looked calm, lowered his eyebrows and said, "I will leave it to the Emperor to decide."
Jiang Che saw that Emperor Jingsheng was hesitant and felt anxious. For the sake of Yu Shanhu, who he had been thinking about all the time, he simply closed his eyes and made up his mind, saying, "Father, I really want to go. I also want to help the crown prince and become a useful person to the court and the country. I beg for your permission."
After saying this, he raised his eyes, his determined eyes sparkling.
"Since you want to go so much, let's go together." Emperor Jingsheng waved his hand.
Jiang Che was overjoyed and bowed, "Thank you, Father."
When she stood up, she winked at Jiang Yu and used gestures to imitate Yu Shanhu. When she saw him nod, she smiled, revealing two pointed fangs with satisfaction.
At this time, a minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Tongpan of Liuzhou sent an urgent report, saying that Liuzhou has caused riots due to the large number of deaths, and there are rumors among the people, saying, saying..."
The minister did not continue speaking, but looked at Jiang Hong hesitantly.
"What?" Emperor Jingsheng's eyes flashed with impatience: "I hate you guys who hesitate to speak. If you have something to say, just say it. Do you want me to guess?"
"I dare not. This matter is really hard to talk about. Some people in Liuzhou are saying... it is said that the reason for his sudden death is that the prince is unkind, so God is angry and sends down a natural disaster. Now the people of Liuzhou are clamoring to depose the prince. I am worried that if this continues, it may affect the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall changed their expressions and looked at each other and whispered to each other.
Emperor Jingsheng's eyes fell on Jiang Hong, and then he turned his eyes to the ministers and said in a deep voice: "This is simply nonsense. The prince is in the capital, how can he be so unkind? Where is Yun Sheng?"
"I'm here." Yun Sheng said loudly as he walked out from the team of officials.
"You are responsible for taking 500 guards and heading to Liuzhou with the Crown Prince tomorrow. You must find the person who spread the rumors for me."
"My lord, accept the order."
Emperor Jingsheng pressed his brows tiredly and said, "Prince, this is a rumor spread deliberately by someone with ulterior motives. You don't need to take it to heart. Just do what you need to do as usual."
Jiang Hong's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Don't worry, Father. I will leave for Liuzhou tomorrow and will thoroughly investigate the matter in Liuzhou and clear my name."
"Well, that's all for today. I'm tired, let's retire."
He waved his hand, and Eunuch Li immediately stepped forward to help him up, and left amid the cheers of the crowd.
The officials left the hall one after another. Jiang Chen walked slowly behind Jiang Hong, looking at his back as he walked away quickly and sneered softly.
It seems that as the eldest brother, he has become completely numb towards his father and no longer has any expectations at all.
Otherwise, if it were in the past, any verbal concern from his father would be enough to move him to tears, and he would wish he could achieve something immediately, present it to his father, and wait for praise like a child asking for candy.
But this time, he didn't. His expression was calm and he was like a pool of stagnant water.
Jiang Chen raised the corners of his lips in pleasure, his fox eyes curved, and he immersed himself in the bright sunshine with an elegant posture.
Jiang Hong went straight back to the East Palace. After he reached the study room for only two breaths, his confidant came in and saluted him.
Jiang Hong said, "Please stop the mining and weapon casting in Liuzhou for now. People in Liuzhou are panicking now. I need to be careful to prevent someone from ruining my plan. You know what to do. Tell the people below to be more cautious during this period. Before I return to Beijing, everything should be put on hold."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The confidant bowed and was about to leave the door when he bumped into Pei Yan. His face changed and he quickly looked back at Jiang Hong. Seeing that his face was livid, he gritted his teeth and asked tentatively, "I have met the Crown Princess. When did she come?"
