Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 73: The princes should take the destiny from heaven, and marry a wife who is Yin Meiyu

Limit limit.

Yin Meiyu patted her chest and took a breath.

[On the night of October 7, the 29th year of Yongjin, when you were resting in your room, you heard some small noises outside. You felt something was wrong, and then you smelled a puff of smoke. You immediately realized that someone had set the fire, most likely to murder His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.]

[1: Leave King Jin alone and go away.]

[2: Enter the King of Jin's inner room and wake him up.]

[Because the incident happened suddenly and the King of Jin was always lenient to others, the guards sent by Emperor Yongjin were careless and idle. In particular, these guards did not expect that someone would dare to burn the King of Jin, so most of the guards did not have time to evacuate and put out the fire. ]

[Fortunately, you managed to take Chu Shizhao to safety, but you realized that someone dared to set fire to Chu Shizhao, and they were obviously targeting his life. Now that he has escaped, it does not mean that they will let him go in the future.]

[Once this kind of thing is done for the first time, there is no possibility of stopping, and those who can resort to such means usually have deep connections with local government.]

[In this case, finding the government office would be even more dangerous.]

[You put forward your thoughts, Chu Shizhao's eyes were slightly cold, and he seemed to have his own thoughts in his mind. He agreed with your point of view, so he decided to sneak away quietly.]

Yin Meiyu's idea of ​​saving Chu Shizhao was very simple.

There is no such thing as love.

He simply wanted to keep Chu Shizhao useful. At least in Yin Meiyu's opinion, Chu Shizhao was not only a good royal family member, but also looked like a good person.

Chu Shizhao, on the other hand, was staring at the screen, wanting to see how his father would react.

[In November of the 29th year of the Yongjin reign, the whereabouts of the Prince of Jin in Jiangnan were unknown. The Yongjin Emperor was furious and ordered the Prince of Jin to go south. How could the real issue he was dealing with be just Wang Ruizhen's land case?]

[In Jiangnan, using land donations to evade taxes is a very normal practice, but for the entire court, such practices have hurt the court's taxation and harmed the foundation of the country. ]

[Emperor Yongjin had long wanted to punish these southern scholars, but he had never had a typical case to serve as an example.]

[It was not that he could not accept the practice of "land donation", but he could not accept that under the name of a minister, one could have 100,000 acres of fertile land to evade state taxes.]

[When Chu Shizhao presented the "Memorial on Public Security", the reason why Emperor Yongjin protected him was that he wanted to use the "Memorial on Public Security" and Chu Shizhao to rectify the court.]

[However, who could have imagined that the hidden situation in Jiangnan was so far-reaching that it led to such a reckless act of burning the royal family.]

[“Are they going to rebel?!”]

【Emperor Yongjin obviously found it difficult to accept that Chu Shizhao was missing in Jiangnan while investigating the case for him.】

[With a cold face, he concluded the case that Chu Shizhao had previously investigated, bypassed the Dali Temple procedures, and directly executed the Minister of Rites Wang Ruizhen according to the criminal law.]

[In order to highlight his benevolence and respect for the wise and humble, Chu Shixu persuaded Emperor Yongjin to spare Wang Ruizhen's life.]

【Emperor Yongjin ignored Chu Shixu.】

[Because he knew very well that this was a struggle for power. If his son could be "murdered" by these people today for the sake of profit, in the future, these people would offend him, the emperor, for the sake of power.]

[In December of the 29th year of the Yongjin reign, Emperor Yongjin ordered Yang Fang to lead 10,000 soldiers from the Central Government to Songjiang County, Suzhou to investigate the "Burning Jin Case".]

【This move was to take advantage of the opportunity to give Yang Fang further power to dispatch the entire Central Government Army, and to clean up and rectify the Jiangnan officialdom. 】【Three months after the "Burning Jin Case" broke out, officials at all levels in Suzhou Prefecture, under Yang Fang's tough attitude, were sent to the gate of the Protectorate Army, tied up and sent to the vanguard, and made to march in custody to be shown to the public. 】

[All the accompanying officials, officials of all ranks in the prefectures, and the main officials of Suzhou Prefecture who were responsible for cooperating with Jin Wang Chu Shizhao in investigating the "Wang Ruizhen Land Case" were brought to justice and dismissed from their posts.]

[In early January of the 30th year of the Yongjin reign, the Yongjin Emperor occasionally felt a headache in the palace, and began to neglect his duties in the palace and stopped meeting with ministers.]

The other side of the screen.

Chu Shizhao did not rush to leave. Instead, he returned to Chang'an and continued to lie in wait.

The timing was not right. Chu Shizhao's father would soon pass away due to illness. If he went back, it would be tantamount to sending himself to die.

Emperor Yongjin used the dispute between the two palaces to balance the power relationship between the court and the opposition, and deliberately created conflicts between him and his eldest son Chu Shixu.

After his death, the next in line to inherit the throne is Chu Shixu. After Chu Shixu succeeds to the throne, can he let go of Chu Shizhao?

Only a complete paraplegic would think of returning to Chang'an.

Living in seclusion, observing the situation and waiting for the right time is actually the best solution for Chu Shizhao at the moment.

[You stayed in Jiangnan, hiding your real name, and in order to avoid being discovered, you changed your name to Lu Xin.]

[Chu Shizhao's mother's surname is Lu. Since it is a pseudonym, he cannot use the national surname, which is too easy to be discovered.]

[As for the name "Xin", Chu Shizhao took into consideration that "a man without faith cannot stand." The name "Xin" should be used to keep one's word. ]

[So you and Yin Meiyu found a place to live in seclusion. Surprisingly, Mei Niang had superb medical skills.]

[Since you have chosen to live in seclusion, you don't want to just sit there doing nothing, so you humbly ask Mei Niang for medical advice so that you can improve yourself.]

[In February of the 30th year of Yongjin, your medical skills have made some progress, so you want to practice medicine everywhere. On the one hand, you want to continue to improve your medical skills, and on the other hand, you want to help the world. After all, most poor people cannot see a doctor.]

[In March of the 30th year of Yongjin, you began to practice medicine in the local area, saving many poor people who could not afford medical treatment, which made many people very grateful to you.]

[In April of the 30th year of Yongjin, after the identity of the prince was hidden, Chu Shizhao's identity changed, and his status went from high to low. However, Chu Shizhao did not feel too much resentment, but instead had a deeper understanding of the unity of knowledge and action.]

[In May of the 30th year of the Yongjin reign, the Yongjin Emperor's illness became increasingly serious. He could no longer speak and often had difficulty making normal decisions. Under this situation, most of the ministers sided with Chu Shixu and were willing to help him inherit the throne.]

[In June of the 30th year of Yongjin, due to lack of money, Yin Meiyu had to sell off the valuables she had brought out of the palace, many of which were jewelry she had brought with her. Chu Shizhao realized that this was not going to work, so after Mei Niang sold off some of her jewelry, Chu Shizhao started farming in seclusion to ensure their livelihood.]

[In the place where Chu Shizhao lived in seclusion, there was a knight-errant from the same village named Liu and Gu. He often made fun of Chu Shizhao for only being good at farming and treating people for free. He said that such a good person would not last long, and now the world is in chaos, a real man should do great things and have lofty ambitions.]

[Yin Meiyu was extremely indignant, but you didn't take it seriously. It was as if you had entered a new mental state, with higher aspirations in life.]

[July of the 30th year of Yongjin, you have lived here for nearly half a year, Yin Meiyu is always by your side, and most people in the countryside regard you two as husband and wife. You have been living together for a long time and have already developed feelings for each other, which can be considered as love that has grown over time.]

[Yin Meiyu may seem charming, but she is actually reserved and reserved, and she has always been sentimental. Unfortunately, she always feels that she is of low status and cannot be a match for you.]

[You saw through her fear and worry, smiled and took her hand, and said calmly: "A prince should accept the destiny of heaven, and marry Yin Meiyu."]
