Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Yueji did not expect this situation to happen.

The Eastern Palace was safe and sound, and King Hui was the one who was punished.

Fortunately, things have not reached the worst point and there is still room for improvement.

After paying his respects to Prince Hui, Yue Ji said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. Your Majesty is in good health and can at least sit on the throne for eight to ten years. You don't have to worry about the Crown Prince taking over while you're away from the capital. Besides, some things will be easier to do after you go to the Imperial Mausoleum."

It must be said that his words were very pleasing to the ear. Prince Hui's expression eased slightly. "What do you mean? Explain it to me."

Yue Ji lowered his voice and said, "Hasn't the prince always wanted to train a group of private soldiers himself? But because he was in the capital, he has never been able to do it. Now that we are in the imperial mausoleum, we can do it.

If things get to the point of starting an uprising in the future, the prince will be invincible with his private army."

These words touched Prince Hui's heart, and he nodded lightly.

However, having only private soldiers is not enough.

Prince Hui gritted his teeth and said, "When I am not in the capital, the capital will be the prince's world. He will have more opportunities to eliminate dissidents and win people's hearts."

This was the last thing he wanted to see.

Yue Ji: "Your Majesty, don't forget that you have several other brothers. Don't they want to fight for that position at all? And Prince An, does he really want the crown prince to succeed him? Don't forget that he and the crown prince are now irreconcilable."

Prince Hui realized something and looked at him and said, "You mean that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits?"

Yue Ji nodded: "Now that the prince is gone, let the prince fight with the others and let them fight to the death. This will be good for the prince."

Prince Hui: "I understand what you said, but I am not in the capital..." He was still worried because he couldn't get first-hand information.

Yue Ji: "Your Highness, don't worry about the things in the capital. The adults all know the priorities and know how to do things. As for the big things, if Your Highness trusts me, how about I be responsible for delivering the news in the capital for you in the future?"

This couldn't be better.

King Hui nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Yue Ji. When I succeed in the future, you will be the prime minister of our Dayu Dynasty."

Yue Ji bowed to express his gratitude, and then he comforted him, "Your Majesty is angry now, and I think no matter how you persuade him, it will not have much effect. I think Your Highness does not need to send people to plead, nor does he need to ask the Queen in the palace to help. Just do as Your Majesty wishes.

When the time is right, let the Queen say something nice, and then you can personally apologize to His Majesty and admit your mistakes. Given His Majesty's love for you, he will definitely lift the punishment and let you return to the capital."

This is a good idea. King Hui pondered for a while and said, "Let's do as you say."

Outside, Minister Huang and several others were waiting anxiously. Finally, the voice of Prince Hui was heard from inside the house. Everyone was overjoyed and hurried in to talk.

They have been on the side of King Hui from the very beginning, and now it is unrealistic to stand on the side of other princes. They must find a way to get King Hui back to the capital.

Li Yu's side.

After leaving the Su family, she went to Prince An's Mansion.

Because Prince Hui was punished, Princess Jianing was extremely happy and invited Li Yu to visit the garden with her.

Li Yu gladly accepted.

But before that, she met with Prince An who had returned from the palace.

She first expressed her gratitude to Prince An, and then hoped that Prince An would allow her to give gifts to the guards in the palace, especially the one who was seriously injured and could not go on a mission. If he was willing, he could go to the hot pot restaurant and barbecue restaurant to help.

There was nothing wrong with this move. Prince An made the arrangements and the palace steward immediately asked someone to deliver Li Yu's thank-you gift to the guards, and said that he would definitely convey Li Yu's words.

Li Yu thanks again.

"That's not necessary. Actually, you helped a lot this time." King An said, "It's amazing that you can remember the marks on the map after looking at it."

Speaking of maps, Li Yu thought of something, "Prince, have you found out about the family of three who fled from Donghaizhou to Beizhoufu in the past few days?"

*

The guard who went to return the wooden boat came back from Beizhou Prefecture and informed the king of the girl's address and surname. King An said that he would arrange for someone to investigate. Now that more than ten days have passed, there should be results.

As expected, Prince An said: "I did find out something. The Qi family of three who went to Beizhou Prefecture had a close relationship with the former governor of Donghai Prefecture.

The old man with unclear mind was saved by the former governor of Donghai Prefecture and was very loyal to him. The note you saw in the wooden boat was given to him by the governor of Donghai Prefecture for safekeeping.

Later, something happened to the governor of Donghai Prefecture, and the old man was afraid that his children would be implicated, so he pretended to be stupid and moved away from Donghai Prefecture with his children. "

Li Yu was stunned: "Is that old man pretending?"

Prince An: "Yes, I sent two groups of people that day, one to Donghai Prefecture to investigate, and the other to Beizhou Prefecture. After discovering the relationship between the old man and the governor of Donghai Prefecture, I sent people to take them to the capital to protect them and wait for the critical moment.

However, the old man saw that the guards did not want to kill him, so he took the initiative to tell everything in order to avenge the governor of Donghai Prefecture.

Today in the court, he had planned to let the old man go to the court as a witness to reveal the truth, but his brother the emperor dealt with King Hui, so the old man did not go.

Li Yu pondered over these words, with many emotions surging in his heart.

She was just helping out in the inn that day, but it directly affected the progress of the entire case.

I really didn't expect it.

When talking to Prince An, Princess Jianing was listening in the whole time.

After the two came out of Prince An's study, Princess Jianing took Li Yu's arm and sighed, "Li Yu, you helped the Crown Prince a lot this time. When things are done in the future, you must ask him for more things."

Li Yu smiled.

When she first met the prince last year, she said everything she needed to say. When the prince succeeds in the future, she will make sure he fulfills his promise.

She never works in vain.

*

The news that Prince Hui was demoted to Prince Hui spread throughout the capital in the afternoon.

Officials of all ranks in the capital had different expressions. Some officials felt that Prince Hui would no longer have a chance to compete for the throne after being exiled to the imperial mausoleum, and immediately turned their attention to Prince Cheng, who was most likely to compete with the crown prince for the throne.

Some also delivered visiting cards to the East Palace.

The people in the Eastern Palace received the prince's arrangement to close the door and refuse to see anyone.

*

On the second day, Prince Hui, his wife, and servants from the palace went to the imperial mausoleum in a mighty procession.

When they arrived at the outer city, Li Yu mixed in the crowd and watched quietly for a while.

Prince Hui's expression was not good, but it was much better than she had imagined. It seemed that he felt that he still had a chance to make a comeback.

The Princess was sitting in the carriage. Li Yu didn't see her and didn't know what her mood was.

The palace's motorcade slowly went away, and Li Yu was about to leave. But the moment she turned around, she met the eyes of Yue Ji across the street.
