Chapter 849: So soft

Author: Chu Qianmo

The emperor's spirit was much worse when he drove the Eighth Prince out of the capital.

He sighed and said to Chu Chaoyang, "Yang'er, am I old? Your eighth prince's death will be unforgivable even if you die, but I'm actually lenient!"

Chu Chaoyang supported him and said, "Father, you are a kind king and a kind father. You are thinking about the Eighth Emperor's love for your father and son. I hope that the Eighth Emperor can remember your kindness, and from then on, you will be cleansed and revolutionized, and repent for the rest of your life!"

The emperor sighed softly.

He was old and didn't want to see his sons die, so Chu Yuntai shouldn't have survived, so he still couldn't bear to do it.

Chu Chaoyang stayed with the emperor for a long time to soothe his father's emotions. He did not leave the palace until the emperor was sleepy and fell into the bedroom.

Chu Chengye's death made the entire atmosphere in the capital sluggish, and the only one who was not affected was probably Concubine Zhong.

The fourteenth prince could already smile, and Concubine Zhong became more and more charming.

The emperor has stopped going to the harem, and he is getting older. Although the 14th Prince's small new life can add more vitality to his twilight years, he has many energy after all.

Chu Chaoyang returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion and summoned his Mujiao for a meeting.

Now Chu Chaoyang can listen to the opinions and suggestions put forward by his ambassadors.

For example, during this funeral at Chu Chengye, the Ninth Prince participated in the entire process and fulfilled his duties as a younger brother. Who in the capital doesn’t say that the Ninth Prince is considering his brotherly feelings and is generous and wise?

However, at this moment in the study, putting aside the disguise, he was the noble prince who was about to be the crown prince.

He said, "All tails are handled?"

Mu Liao said: "When you go back to your highness, all the traces have been erased, and the Eighth Prince has also driven out of the capital. He is a commoner, even if he can find clues, he cannot enter the capital, and he cannot face the saint. This matter is buried in dust and will never cause any more troubles!"

Chu Chaoyang curled his lips, showed a faint sneer, and said, "It's great!"

Mu Liaoer said: "Your Highness, you can cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will grow again. Look, where Chu Yuntai..."

Chu Chaoyang smiled contemptuously and said, "What if it's just a commoner, so what if he keeps his life?"

That's right, Chu Chengye's family died on the way to the vassal state. On the surface, it seemed that Chu Yuntai did it.

In fact, it was Chu Yuntai who had vicious thoughts. However, with Chu Yuntai's ability, he really couldn't do it so cleanly.

Chu Chaoyang, who had inserted a hand in the middle but picked himself clean, was very satisfied with the result.

Chu Chengye wanted to leave the capital by vassals, and he could attack and defend when he retreated?

It depends on whether he agrees or not.

Since the world of Dongxia belongs to him, how could he allow anyone who covet his world to leave safely? After all, although the people of Chu Chengye left, the power in his capital was not taken away.

Instead of letting those hidden forces become their own stumbling blocks one day, it is better to solve this problem fundamentally.

No matter how many backup he keeps or how much hidden power he has, he is still in the capital, waiting for his comeback.

As long as Chu Chengye dies, these will no longer be a matter.

This is the real way to get rid of the firewood.

In this whole incident, he not only eliminated the eldest prince and the eighth prince, but he himself not only did not touch his body, but also gained a reputation of being kind and filial.

This is how powerful he is.

The Mu Liao he raised was able to calculate everything for him, and this is what he valued them.

Chu Chaoyang said: "How many days are there before the enthronement. During this period, everyone has been cheering up. Don't make any mistakes in the process!"

Mu Liaosan said three times: "Your Highness, the people in the capital who may become your highness's resistance have basically been eliminated. How should the third prince and the fifth prince deal with it?"

Chu Chaoyang said: "What are the changes between them?"

Mu Liaosi said: "There is no abnormal movement. The third prince closed his house and thanked the guests. The fifth prince went to the Jingjiwei every day, and then went back to the Liang Palace. He had never been to other places."

"Since they are tactful, I don't have to pay attention to them for the time being." Chu Chaoyang said: "By the way, I will hold a banquet for you in Qingwuxuan. I have something to talk to Mr. Dongfang!"

"yes!"

In the past, Qingwuxuan was the property of the Wei family of Zhuang Guogong, but after the Wei family was confiscated, Qingwuxuan changed its ownership. On the basis of the original, many special and fun measures were added, which were elegant and interesting. The business was not only not affected, but it was better.

In the afternoon, Chu Chaoyang met Dongfang Moye in Qingwuxuan.

Dongfang Moye brought a gift to Chu Chaoyang.

A piece of jade cabbage carved with exquisite carvings and a whole piece of jade.

What is rare is that it is such a large piece of jade, with white and smooth lower part and green upper part. The carved cabbage is lifelike and warm with tentacles.

Chu Chaoyang smiled and said, "Mr. Dongfang has made money."

Dongfang Moye smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness is about to be rich all over the world. The whole world of Dongxia is your Highness. This mere gift is just a small thing to give to your Highness to enjoy, and it is not worth mentioning!"

Chu Chaoyang said: "Mr. Dongfang is deeply loved by this prince. What you said last time, I have already made it clear to you. Who else can I do this imperial merchant in the capital?"

It was not because of this jade cabbage that he wanted Dongfang Moye to be the imperial merchant, but he knew that a crown prince of the Eastern Palace actually had great limitations, after all, there was an emperor above.

So, he needs to have his own money bag.

Of course, this money bag should be placed in the Ministry of Revenue. However, Shi Minwei from the Ministry of Revenue was only loyal to the emperor, and the Minister of Revenue was neutral, so he could not get in for a moment.

In that case, he cultivated his own money bag outside.

With money, you can do many things.

Chu Chaoyang did a good job in the balance of the court, the balance between officials, and the balance with his father.

From this point of view, the emperor has been very successful in cultivating him.

He is young, ruthless and capable, knows people and uses them well and understands Zhang Chi.

In this regard, Chu Cheng Ye Chu Yuncheng is far inferior to him.

Dongfang Moye said, "Your Highness will never abandon you, and you will do your best to do your best!" He took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it over and said, "This is the news that the people under you have found. Please take a look at it!"

The time for the crown prince's enthronement was getting closer and closer. Although Chu Chaoyang felt that his arrangements were missing, he wanted to ensure that everything was foolproof, so he did not relax in collecting various news.

In the meantime, the news brought by the wallet Dongfang Moye was from outside the government and was also valued by him.

Seeing the content on the paper, Chu Chaoyang's face looked a little ugly.

Chu Chengye is dead, but he actually has an army?

This army actually wants to destroy his enthronement ceremony?

Chu Chaoyang said, "I understand!" He said, "By the way, sir, where is the batch of goods that I wanted to ship to the capital last time?"

Dongfang Moye said: "Your Highness, you are almost in Linzhou. However, the people under you are just ordinary porters after all. After all, they have encountered many exploits along the way, and there are also bandits blocking the road, which is quite a bit damaged. Now another person has been dispatched to pick him up, but you will not miss your Highness!"

"Very good!" Chu Chaoyang took out a token and handed it to Dongfang Moye: "With this token, sir, can do things cheaply!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your mission!" I didn't expect Chu Chaoyang to have that golden dragon jade tablet that represents the identity of the prince.

You should know that when the emperor ascended the throne, he raised three sides, four claws, golden dragons and jade tablets, and thought that the emperor's heir was with him, everyone in the world knew it.

The jade plaque carved is a four-clawed golden dragon, representing supreme power and identity.

There are many princes, and not every prince has the opportunity to get this jade tablet.

At that time, the second prince Chu Chengyou had obtained a piece, but as he died, the jade plaque was recycled. Even the legitimate son Chu Yuncheng and the eldest son Chu Chengye had never obtained it.

So much so that many people have forgotten the legend of the golden dragon and jade tablets.

Now, not only Chu Chaoyang has it, but he also gave this jade to Dongfang Moye indifferently, so that he could do it cheaply.

Dongfang Moye smiled. He liked to deal with such a prince.

Being conceited and smart, but actually being arrogant and stupid.

Chu Chaoyang said very familiarly: "This Qingwuxuan is indeed a good place. There are rumors in the capital, 'Qingwuxiang's beauty is better than a god on Changshan'. The owner behind this Qingwuxuan is not Mr. Dongfang, right?"

Dongfang Moye smiled and said, "Your Highness is so worthy of your attention. You have done some business, but this capital is actually a newcomer. When Duke Zhuang confiscated his family and destroyed his clan, he really had the intention to take it down. However, one is the financial resources, and the other is the slightly inferior method, so he missed it!"

Chu Chaoyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, if Mr. Dongfang is interested, in the future, this prince will let Qingwu Qingyan, Changshan Resort Villa will be all in your pocket!"

Dongfang Moye raised his glass and said happily: "It is my honor to be able to receive such importance to Your Highness. I will devote all my efforts to your Highness's great cause and die until I die!"

Chu Chaoyang was happy to hear this and said, "You should pay more attention to the matter of this prince, and you don't have to devote yourself to it until you die. If you follow me, I will not treat you badly, let alone die!"

"Your Highness is really a kind lord!"

Dongfang Mo Ye was elegant and generous in his words, and Chu Chaoyang was also the great Confucian teachings selected by the emperor himself. He was well versed in the art of emperors. The two had a great conversation.

Dongfang Moye invited the guests and asked Qingwuxuan's most beautiful and elegant musicians to sing and dance to Chu Chaoyang.

The musicians have also been carefully trained. They usually cost a thousand gold medals. In Qingwuxuan, they have long compared the Caiwei, and are the new leader.

She is young and beautiful, and compared to those ladies of her family, she is more charming and tactful.

Chu Chaoyang, the newly emerging upstart prince, only felt refreshed.

Dongfang Moye said, "The Ninth Prince, this girl Lingqing is well-educated, and she is very skilled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is quite elegant..." He lowered his voice and said, "More importantly, this is still a pure servant. As long as your highness is happy, it is nothing to stay overnight. I am determined to take care of your highness properly!"

When Chu Chaoyang raised his eyes, he saw Ling Qing's eyes as clear as water, but his whole body had a cold and quiet aura. He had seen many women, and his father also said that when he was booked as the crown prince, he would marry him.

But at the last banquet, he saw those ladies, who were either dull and came from the same mold, or professed themselves as talented, or pretended to be noble, or looked inexplicably confident...
