The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Jingzhou.

Royal Palace of Rui.

Prince Rui Yuwenjie.

Yuwen Jie had a gloomy face and stared coldly at the counselor Zhao Jingyan in front of him. The dissatisfaction and anger in his heart almost burst out. He really couldn't stand this kind of waiting and delay. A year had passed, and his army had not yet been trained.

"Tell me! When can we attack the capital?"

Yu Wenjie asked through gritted teeth, his voice filled with endless depression and anxiety.

Zhao Jingyan lowered his head slightly, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he replied softly: "Your Majesty, the time is not yet ripe."

Ugh!

Over the past year, Prince Rui Yuwenjie has become more and more irritable and impatient. The lives of the ministers under Prince Rui have become increasingly difficult.

Ugh!

If it wasn't for the purpose of seeking the merit of following the dragon, why would he have to endure all these humiliations under Yuwen Jie? Zhao Jingyan thought about the lives he had taken and the things he had done as an accomplice to the evildoer. Now he was in a dilemma.

That's it!

Just hold on a little longer!

Those armies have been training for so long, but they still can't achieve their goals. How about being more cruel? Isn't it said that when people are in desperate situations, they can burst out with great strength?

Yuwen Jie didn't care what Zhao Jingrong thought in his heart, he just wanted the result. Then why did Yuwen Yong ascend the throne? He refused to accept it! He couldn't swallow this breath.

My father is partial.

He knew from a young age that his father was partial to him. Especially since Yuwen Kang was born, his father named him King Kang when he was just one year old.

King Kang!

How much I hope he is rich and healthy!

The brothers all thought that the emperor's favorite was the eighth prince, Yuwen Yu, born to Concubine Yi. When he was only eight years old, the emperor brought him with him to teach him. Concubine Yi was even more favored because of her son.

At that time, the news was widely spread both inside and outside the government.

Who knows, Concubine Yi was just a target set up by my father to protect Bai Xuelian from disaster.

It is said that because of her status, Concubine Yi embarrassed Bai Xuelian, so the late emperor was planning to make Bai Xuelian a concubine!

It was also because of this action that their own spies discovered that the late emperor's true love was actually Bai Xuelian, who seemed cold and indifferent on the surface.

Ha ha!

Yes, with the old emperor's favor, why would she need to personally fight for it?

Therefore, the ninth prince Yuwen Hao is the heir that the emperor prefers the most.

Ha ha!

Man proposes, God disposes! In the end, it was Liuyang Prince Yuwen Yong who won the throne.

Yuwen Yong, Yuwen Yu, and Yuwen Hao, Yuwen Jie doesn't intend to let any of these three people go.

However, Yuwen Jie always felt that these were smokescreens. Anyway, he stubbornly believed that Yuwen Kang was the son that his father loved the most.

Among all the brothers, only Prince Kang Yuwen Kang was crowned king using his courtesy name. Moreover, Yuwen Kang was crowned king when he was only one year old.

You should know that Yuwen Kang's mother's family had no power, and her father was just a county magistrate. Moreover, before giving birth to him, Yuwen Kang's mother was just one of the nine concubines. More importantly, Yuwen Kang's mother unfortunately died of hemorrhage during childbirth. However, even so, the old emperor still posthumously conferred Yuwen Kang's mother the title of concubine.

This is enough to prove how high Yuwenkang's status is in the old emperor's heart.

After all, the harem is a place full of fighting and conspiracy. Every year, many concubines have miscarriages or lose their children for various reasons. Not only that, the old emperor, the old old emperor, and the old old old emperor all have countless brothers who died in accidents.

But what about Yuwen Kang? Without the protection of his mother and the support of his mother's family, he was able to grow up healthily and successfully go to his fiefdom.

You know, Yuwen Kang was the second prince to be granted a fiefdom after the eldest son, Prince Ning Yuwen Tai.

snort!

Does the old emperor want Yuwen Kang to grow up safely and healthily?

dream!

He is the prince of Concubine Hui Huang Meiting, one of the four concubines. He and his mother are backed by the Huang family, the richest imperial merchant family in Dayan Kingdom.

Why was Yuwen Kang crowned a king when he was one year old? Why did he have to wait until he was five to be crowned a king? Or was he crowned a king at the same time as the fifth son Yuwen Qian and the sixth son Yuwen Tuo. At that time, the fifth son Yuwen Qian and the sixth son Yuwen Tuo were just three years old.

The old emperor was obviously trying to embarrass him alone?

Therefore, Yuwen Jie not only hated Yuwen Kang, but also hated Yuwen Qian and Yuwen Tuo.

Obviously, the mother of the three of them was also one of the four concubines, so why should he be the only one to suffer this humiliation?

Just because the mother of the fifth brother Yu Wenqian is the virtuous concubine Yuan Mengqi? Behind him is the mighty general's mansion?

Just because the mother of the sixth son Yuwen Tuo is Consort Qiu Huihui? Behind him is a king of a different surname guarding the northern border?

Ha ha!

The fifth and sixth children are only three months apart, and he is two years older than them, and only three years older than the seventh!

So, this humiliation is actually directed at him!

You know, royal heirs will not be included in the royal jade record until they are three years old!

But Yuwen Kang was recorded in the Jade Disc when he was born, and was named King Kang when he was one year old!

Yuwen Qian and Yuwen Tuo were also crowned kings when they were three years old.

Whether it was Yuwen Kang, Yuwen Qian, or Yuwen Tuo, they all had their own opinions, but they chose to highlight Yuwen Jie and slap him in the face.

So, why shouldn't he hate it?

The old emperor has gone too far!

Yes, the imperial merchants are just merchants. His maternal grandfather's family has always been exploited by the old emperor. When he was crowned king at such a humiliating time, the Huang family would have a harder time.

What Kyoto lacks the least is the powerful and wealthy!

What Kyoto lacks the least is people who take advantage of others’ misfortunes!

The timing of crowning the royal heir as king was a clear humiliation for Yuwen Jie, which undoubtedly revealed the old emperor's thoughts - this was a signal of giving up the Huang family.

As a commercial giant, the Huang family had always been exploited by the old emperor like a fat sheep. Not to mention the huge amount of taxes paid every year, there were also tributes and huge dividends given to the old emperor every year, plus the money given to Concubine Hui to consolidate her favor, all of which were astronomical figures.

Such a heavy burden caused the Huang family's wealth to continue to flow away and their financial situation to deteriorate.

The timing of Yuwenjie's coronation directly led to the Huang family losing its last straw.

In Kyoto, a place where powerful people gather, the decline of the Huang family is like a tempting piece of fat meat, attracting countless people who are eyeing it to come and get a piece of the pie.

Now that the old emperor has abandoned the Huang family, these people will naturally take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury and begin to frantically suppress the Huang family, ruthlessly plundering the Huang family's industries and resources.

The Huang family's former business status is now gone, and their past glory has disappeared like a passing cloud.

The head of the Huang family and his family suffered a heavy blow, and their self-esteem and self-confidence were irreparably damaged. However, Concubine Hui Huang Meiting was still there, and so was Prince Rui Yuwenjie.

The Huang family had to endure it for the sake of Concubine Hui and Prince Rui.

As long as Concubine Hui Huang Meiting and Prince Rui Yuwenjie are still around, and as long as the Huang family can survive until the old emperor dies, their Huang family will be able to turn things around.

Faced with all this, Yu Wenjie was both angry and helpless.

He knew very well that the decline of the Huang family was not caused by simple commercial competition, but a deliberate conspiracy by the old emperor. It was obvious that he had been abandoned by the old emperor. The old emperor was telling him clearly that he had no chance of that position.

He was too young at that time.

I can't understand it, and I can't see through it!

In fact, the decline of the Huang family did not happen overnight, but was a gradual process. Every step was full of conspiracy and intrigue, and every step was pushing the Huang family to the edge of the cliff.

Unfortunately, the Huang family realized it too late.

The decline of the Huang family not only reveals the cruelty of political struggles, but also shows the ugliness of human nature. Once the most prominent imperial merchant family in Kyoto, it became a victim of the struggle for imperial power and gradually declined.

If it weren't for the uncle's caution, by the time Yuwen Jie grew up and moved to his fiefdom, there would be nothing left when the gift was passed to him.

Even so, there wasn't much left by my uncle, and there was no way to support a private army.

Otherwise, why would he become so notorious in Gladiolus Road?

As a royal descendant, who doesn’t know how to win people’s hearts?

But how can we survive without money and soldiers? How can we fight back to Kyoto?

The more Yu Wenjie thought about it, the more violent he became. The more he thought about it, the more eager he became to get the most honorable position. Only in this way could he wash away the humiliation. Only in this way could he avenge the Huang family and take back everything that belonged to him and the Huang family.

Ah!

Before returning to Kyoto, he had to give Yuwen Kang some eye drops. Why should he let go of the fuse that caused him and the Huang family to fall into this situation?

hum!

The old emperor wouldn’t really think that the sixth brother and Yuwen Kang are good brothers, right?

He even specially appointed Yuwen Kang to Guannei Road. Was he hoping that Prince Qiu of Beizhen Palace in Hedong Road would take care of Yuwen Kang?

It really makes me laugh to death!

Whenever he thought of this, Yu Wenjie couldn't help but burst into laughter, the kind that made his stomach hurt.

Which uncle would neglect his own nephew and love a stranger instead?

Unless you have a problem with your brain!

I have to say that the Sixth Prince Yuwentuo is really a scheming guy! He is completely different from his mother, Concubine Shu Qiu Huihui.

Concubine Qiu Huihui was a simple-minded, silly, and completely spoiled woman. Her emotions were all shown on her face without any concealment. In the harem, except for the empress and the imperial concubine Yuan, she would overturn the table at the slightest disagreement with other concubines. She was very arrogant and domineering, making it difficult for people to have a good impression of her.

The personality traits of Concubine Qiu Huihui are obvious at a glance. However, Yuwen Tuo is completely different. He appears to be sunny and straightforward, but actually likes to do things secretly.

Although Yuwen Tuo was full of disgust towards Yuwen Kang in his heart, he pretended to be a friendly and respectful brother on the surface. Yuwen Jie could not stand this hypocritical behavior. However, who made Yuwen Tuo deal with Yuwen Kang, a disgusting guy?

Therefore, Yuwen Jie was too lazy to expose Yuwen Tuo. Wouldn't it be nice for him to just sit aside and watch the show?

Yuwen Tuo is a man with deep thoughts and cunning tricks. He always has a sunny smile on his face, and anyone who sees him will think he is a sunny boy.

Unfortunately, Yuwen Jie knew very well that Yuwen Tuo was a man full of insidiousness and cunningness. He was very good at hiding his true intentions, making it difficult for people to figure him out.

Yuwen Kang, this fool, was a very stupid person. Perhaps because he had no mother, no one taught him since he was a child, although the old emperor specially arranged for someone to take care of Yuwen Kang.

But the old emperor was too busy.

Busy with state affairs, busy with "balancing" the harem, busy with pampering his "darling"...

In short, as long as Yuwen Kang grows up healthy and safe, that's enough.

Therefore, Yuwen Kang, who had been lacking love since childhood, had no guard against Yuwen Tuo and regarded this brother who was willing to take him out to play and feed him delicious food as his closest person.

Yuwen Tuo knew that Yuwen Kang liked sweets, so he specially ordered the imperial kitchen to make different kinds of sweet porridge for Yuwen Kang as midnight snack every day.

Red date glutinous rice porridge, almond millet porridge, jade green bean porridge, barley and red bean porridge, hawthorn and water chestnut powder porridge, chestnut porridge, lily millet porridge, banana and taro porridge, sweet potato and corn porridge, lotus root starch and rose porridge, apple and oatmeal porridge, lotus seed and polished rice porridge, astragalus millet porridge, tangerine peel polished rice and brown sugar porridge...
