Now it can be said that the forces in the court are in a mess, but King Yu definitely has the upper hand, as there are more than three ministers.

And it also has the support of Jianghu power Tianquan Villa.

Xia Jiang first went to pay the errand, and then Emperor Liang sent everyone away, leaving only Xia Jiang alone.

Xia Jiang was not a fool. He knew that the emperor had something that he had to handle alone, and it was not a small matter.

Emperor Liang said coldly: "Go and find out Chen Fang's details for me. This man is King Yu's adviser!"

"The humble minister obeys the decree."

Xia Jiang immediately accepted the order, but he was surprised in his heart. Does the emperor value Chen Fang so much?

Wouldn't that mean that we missed something big outside the city gate?

Then Emperor Liang explained some things, and Xia Jiang naturally followed the instructions.

After returning to the Xuanjing Division, Xia Jiang asked Xia Chun and Xia Dong to come over and ask about the previous case.

"Master, junior sister suspects that Chen Fang did it, and my disciple also thinks so!"

Xia Chun said with cupped hands, Xia Dong regretted it in her heart, but she still nodded on the surface, after all, this was indeed what she said.

Xia Jiang thought for a while and said, "Don't investigate these things."

When he heard that he didn't want to investigate anymore, Xia Chun hurriedly said: "Master, this is His Majesty's imperial edict!"

"I just came back from the palace..."

Xia Jiang said calmly, in other words, this is what His Majesty told him, so Xia Chun said nothing more.

"Yes, Master!" x2

"You have something to do now, so do it like this."

Xia Jiang pointed to the booklet next to him and said, this is the task he gave to his two apprentices, but now they don't know that Xia Dong has rebelled.

In Prince Yu's Mansion, Chen Fang was invited to come over today.

"Sir, do you know that Xia Jiang from the Xuanjing Division has returned?"

"Well, this Xia Jiang is not from the prince, right?"

"Of course not. How could the prince accept him? I got a piece of news today that my father seems to have asked Xia Jiang to investigate something, and it seems to have something to do with the gentleman."

Chen Fang said with an annoyed look on his face: "That must be Xie Yu's business. It sounds like he was a little impulsive."

"Sir, don't worry. Xie Yu has sent people to assassinate us again and again. I think what you did is not unreasonable..."

When King Yu mentioned this matter, he naturally wanted to give Chen Fang a beating. He first said that the emperor sent someone to investigate him, and then said that he would protect you.

Isn't this a typical slap and then a sweet date?

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Chen Fang stood up and said with a grateful face, "Your Majesty, King Yu said so, so you should give me some face. Anyway, you are still useful now."

"Hey, sir, there is no need to be polite, this is what I should do..."

King Yu was still very satisfied and gave another speech to consolidate his position as leader.

"Your Majesty, is His Majesty's birthday coming soon?"

Chen Fang asked what this meant, to remind him that it was time for the prince to step down.

"Yes, it will happen in a few days. Sir, come with me to see the birthday gift..."

King Yu began to show off that this was a stone that he had spent a lot of effort to obtain. From a distance, it looked like a capital character "Shou".

Chen Fang knew what Prince Yu's birthday gift was, so he smiled and followed him to have a look.

"Sir, what do you think of this birthday gift..."

King Yu introduced it with a smile. If it were not for Chen Fang, King Yu would not have bothered to say so many words.

"It's indeed good, but Your Highness, I have another gift here, which may be more suitable..."

Chen Fang smiled and then winked at Ambassador A.

"Oh, what gift is it?"

King Yu was very surprised. He knew that Chen Fang's gifts were usually very novel, and they might actually be better than this stone.

Ada stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Your Highness, boss, the things have been delivered."

"Well, open it quickly and show it to His Highness."

"yes."

After Ah Da opened the box in front of him, he found a crystal ball inside, with a yellow golden dragon inside. Anyway, this thing was very common in later generations.

But here, it was simply a dimensionality reduction blow, especially since the golden dragon in the crystal ball was so lifelike, King Yu was stunned when he saw it.

"Hey, this is a priceless treasure."

Prince Yu couldn't help but sigh, as did everyone around him. Master Ji was even more ashamed. The stone he was looking for was really embarrassing.

"Your Highness, how about such a treasure as a birthday gift? The golden dragon in it doesn't match your Majesty..."

"Sir, are you willing to part with such a treasure?"

King Yu was very surprised. He understood clearly that Chen Fang wanted him to take it and present it to his father. This was too generous.

"This is also an accidental acquisition by Chen, and it should be dedicated to His Highness."

Chen Fang smiled on his face, but he didn't agree with it in his heart. This thing would take up a lot of space at home, wouldn't it be better to have a few beautiful maids and maids?

King Yu gave it a few token shirks and then accepted it. This crystal ball was naturally much stronger than that broken stone.

I thought that this time it would definitely be better than the one in the East Palace, and my father would definitely like it even more when the time comes.

Emperor Liang wanted to play a game of checks and balances of power, so he kept supporting King Yu and pitting him against the prince to consolidate his power.

Chen Fang thought, let's see, when King Yu suppresses and beats the prince again and again, how will this aloof and mediocre monarch react?

After staying in Prince Yu's mansion for a while, Chen Fang finally took the gold, silver and five beauties from Prince Yu last time. Chen Fang did not shirk and accepted them directly.

Not to mention other things, Chen Fang just likes these tacky things and can't play with elegant things. Beautiful women, gold and silver are the best things.

Soon the birthday banquet of Emperor Liang arrived. Naturally, the emperor, several princes and Prince Ji attended. It was time for the princes to present their gifts.

When King Yu took out the crystal ball, everyone present was stunned. The prince only took one look and knew that he had lost again.

Emperor Liang was also fascinated by it, because this thing was too rare for the ancients.

In their eyes, these things are all made by hand, so the skills of the craftsmen must not be amazing?

They don't know what mass production is and what industrialization is.

"Jinghuan, how did you get this?"

"Father, my son sent people to search several times and found it in the depths of the East China Sea... The golden dragon inside just proves that my father is the destined emperor!"

King Yu followed what Chen Fang said. Emperor Liang couldn't verify the lie anyway, so he didn't just let him say whatever he wanted.

"Okay, okay! It's indeed a treasure... Jinghuan did a great job."

Emperor Liang couldn't put it down and put it down, and asked Gao Zhan to put it away. This was much better than the Night Pearl.

Emperor Liang just looked at the gifts from the prince at the back and was not interested even in the strong bow given by Prince Jing. Now his mind was filled with thoughts of his true destiny.

This thing has more of a symbolic meaning, and he praised Prince Yu a lot, which made other princes jealous.

Especially the prince was very unhappy. He felt like he had nothing to take on, as if he would be abolished tomorrow, and Mei Changsu was also a waste.

It has been so long, and my side has been losing again and again, while King Yu is getting higher and higher, and his power is getting stronger and stronger.

Because it was the mourning period, Emperor Liang didn't even drink a few glasses of wine and just asked everyone to disperse. When he returned to the harem, he felt all alone.

Usually I have someone to accompany me at this time, and then I thought of Concubine Yue.

"Gao Zhan!"

"The slave is here."

Emperor Liang beeped in his ear for a while, and then Gao Zhan went down to invite someone. Naturally, he was looking for Concubine Yue... No, it was the former Concubine Yue.

At this moment, she was still staying in the cold palace. When she heard that Emperor Liang had proclaimed her, the Yue clan immediately sorted things out and followed the eunuch over.

The Yue family had been favored for so many years, so they naturally had many tricks, and soon they were able to subdue Emperor Liang.

The queen also frowned after hearing the news, so she would wait until the banquet in the evening.

At noon, we entertained our son for dinner, and in the evening we naturally spent time with the concubines in the harem. The queen was the head of the harem, so she was naturally among them.

.........

Chen Fang knew exactly how the current emperor came to power.

For Emperor Liang, letting King Yu's family become the sole ruler meant putting his life in the hands of his son. How could it be possible?

Therefore, no matter how hard King Yu tried, it was all in vain. Except for Emperor Liang's sons, all of them died, leaving King Yu alone. However, this possibility is extremely slim.

"Boss, there are many spies around, and Xia Dong from the Xuanjing Division sent a letter."
