Good! My stupid son finally rebelled!

The bridal chamber?

what about me?

Ling Yu felt a wolf howling in his heart, and he wanted to cry but couldn't find a place to cry.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the heir apparent to the throne. If he is beaten with thirty sticks, it would be detrimental to the dignity of the state." Xiao Yuanshan stepped forward quickly, and the ministers echoed him again.

"how?"

Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes and said, "Is it possible that I, the crown prince of Daqian, cannot even bear these thirty heavy sticks?"

"Duke Xiao, when you and I worked together to build our careers."

"Have you forgotten the past?"

thump!

Xiao Yuanshan fell to his knees and said, "I will never forget this even until I die."

"Humph."

Emperor Wu snorted and swept his majestic eyes over the ministers: "The ancients said that when God is about to give a man a great responsibility, he will surely make his heart suffer and his muscles and bones work hard."

"Yu'er is the crown prince of Daqian, but he lives under your wings all day long."

“How will he spread his wings and fly high one day?”

"Or is the King of Daqian just a puppet in your hands?"

Boom boom boom!

The ministers' minds trembled violently. Emperor Wu's words had already served as a warning. Some people had indeed stretched their hands too far and had touched Emperor Wu's bottom line.

Emperor Wu was too lazy to think about it, and his eyes fell on Ling Yu: "Yu'er, are you convinced?"

"Your Majesty, I have no complaints." Ling Yu could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

"very good."

Emperor Wu snorted: "As a descendant of my royal family, you should be aware of the room for maneuver after you have spoken."

"A real man should stand tall and upright."

"Father, I will remember this." Ling Yu lowered his posture.

"Go down."

Emperor Wu waved his hand and said, "Three days later, I will marry the sixth son of Daqian in the Daqian Palace. Do you have any objections?"

"Long live my emperor."

Everyone shouted long live.

Emperor Wu waved his robe and said, "Dismiss the court!"

Ling Yu was filled with anger: "Damn it, I am such an idiot that I actually got 30 lashes for nothing for that rubbish."

"Won't my butt be covered in blood?"

Xiao Yuanshan frowned and glared at Ling Yu.

"uncle."

"Shut up." Xiao Yuanshan said in a bad tone, "Don't call me uncle. No one can save you today. You will get one of the thirty strokes of the cane."

Ling Yu had no choice but to go and collect the reward.

soon.

The continuous cries of "ouch" spread throughout the Daqian Palace.

Royal study room!

Liu Jin walked in cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been beaten with thirty sticks."

"Did he complain?"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince fainted from the pain."

"Waste." Emperor Wu snorted. "You fainted after only thirty strokes of the cane. Before, I fought for the country, covered in blood and wounds, and never snorted."

After all, he is his biological son, and Emperor Wu does not want anything to happen to him: "Ask the Imperial Hospital to send some ointment over later."

"The old slave accepts the order."

"How's the flower boat going?" Emperor Wu put down the memorial in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the identity of the corpse has been investigated. He was a swordsman from the Jianghu. He has been roaming around Kyoto in recent years, doing dirty things, but he didn't do anything too outrageous. The people below can't kill him."

Liu Jin said as he observed the changes in Emperor Wu's expression: "There is no clue about the mysterious person who appeared on the flower boat last night."

"Where's the Oiran?"

Emperor Wu changed the subject and asked, Liu Jin said: "Your Majesty, according to the investigation, the identity of the courtesan is innocent. She was stranded in Kyoto due to famine when she was five years old."

"She was rescued by a brothel owner. Because of her outstanding appearance and intelligence, she learned to play various musical instruments since she was a child."

"Gradually, she built up a reputation as an Oiran on a flower boat."

"After the incident last night, the courtesan has been on the flower boat and has not made any movement."

Emperor Wu frowned: "So, this flower boat can continue to operate?"

Liu Jin's eyes moved quickly, and he did not dare to guess the emperor's thoughts rashly. He tried to say, "Your Majesty, someone in the flower boat tried to assassinate the Sixth Prince. How can we continue to operate?"

"Not only that, I have also arranged for the Kyoto Guards to conduct a thorough investigation of all the brothels in the capital of Daqian during this period of time."

"Prevent other people with bad intentions from getting in."

"good."

Emperor Wu nodded and said: "Old Six will be heading to the border soon, and he will need a foot-washing maid to serve him."

Liu Jin understood immediately: "Your Majesty, I understand. I will arrange it right away."

I'm talking about serving, but in fact, Ling Tian has the Cuizhu sisters by his side, so even if he goes to the border, he will not be short of women.

But if Ling Tian suspected Cuizhu and the other girl, then the nail would be in vain.

Ling Tian won the title of Oiran by himself. Now that the brothel has lost its business, the Oiran goes to look for his lover.

Very reasonable.

Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh that Emperor Wu had made a clever move.

"All right."

Emperor Wu waved his hand and said, "Let's stop with the flower boat. It's getting late. It's time to pick up my future daughter-in-law."

"Yes." Liu Jin bowed and followed Emperor Wu.

Ministry of Internal Affairs.

He was in charge of all matters concerning the imperial palace, and Emperor Wu even set up a special office for him, where all matters were comparable to those in the imperial court.

The current person in charge is Liu Jin.

As soon as Ling Tian arrived, a young eunuch ran up and said, "Your servant Xiao Yunzi greets His Highness the Sixth Prince."

"You're welcome." Ling Tian waved his hand: "I heard that your betrothal gifts have been prepared?"

"Your Highness, everything has been prepared according to His Majesty's request." Xiao Yunzi pointed to the carriages in the distance and said, "On those carriages are your Highness's betrothal gifts."

So cool!

How generous.

Ling Tian took a quick look and saw that there were more than ten carriages and various boxes were densely packed together.

Gold, silver, jewelry, silk, ancient jade, countless.

Ling Tian couldn't help but secretly smack his lips as he watched: "If these things were turned into silver, it would be enough to support a team of thousands of people, right?"

Ling Tian's heart trembled...

sold.

Must sell.

We also need to find a legal way to sell it.

Daqian has strict etiquette and laws. The buying and selling of royal items is prohibited, especially the rewards given by the emperor. Once bought and sold, it is a crime of both buying and selling...

capital offense!

But if we don't use this huge amount of money, wouldn't that be a waste of resources?

Ling Tian was secretly worried. At this moment, Xiao Yunzi and the others knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Ling Tian turned around and looked at the Emperor Wu in the yellow robe in front of him: "Your Highness, your son greets you."

"No gift."

Emperor Wu waved his hand and said, "Sixth Brother, are you satisfied with the betrothal gift I prepared for you?"

"Father, can you please tell me the truth?" Ling Tian blinked. Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes and said, "This is not the imperial court, and there are no outsiders here. You can speak your mind."

"Father, the betrothal gift is nice, but it is not practical."

Ling Tian bravely said something that would cost him his life: "I beg your pardon."

"I am willing to sell this betrothal gift for silver and take it to the border to pay for military expenses."

Emperor Wu's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Ling Tian with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Sixth Brother, tell me honestly, are you going to the border to win over the people's hearts?"

"Building a force?"
