Dressed as the prince's substitute? I took the throne

In the mansion of Prince Xiaoyao, the current mansion plaque has not been replaced with the Prince's East Palace plaque, it is still the plaque of Prince Xiaoyao.

Xu Hanyan sat on the bed. Two imperial physicians were kneeling beside her, checking her pulse. They finally stood up and bowed, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is fine. She's just a little frightened!"

Zhou Chuxuan finally felt relieved after hearing this. He waved to the two imperial doctors, signaling them to go down, and then sat next to Xu Hanyan attentively.

Xu Hanyan stepped forward and gently nestled in Zhou Chuxuan's arms, her eyes as charming as silk: "Your Highness, why are you so anxious? I'm fine!"

Zhou Chuxuan gently scratched Xu Hanyan's nose with his finger: "How can that be possible? After all, you are my wife, the future empress. If anything happens to you, the Wu Dynasty will be without dragon offspring in the future, right?"

Xu Hanyan's face flickered with shyness when she heard this: "You...what are you talking about?"

Su Qiaoer, who was standing in the middle of the room, couldn't help but cover her face and ran out. The conversation between His Highness and the Crown Princess was getting more and more bold, and they even started to talk without telling anyone.

Murong Xue looked at Su Qiao'er who ran out in surprise: "What's wrong, Qiao'er? Why are you so flustered?"

Su Qiao'er shyly pointed inside the room: "Your Highness and the Crown Princess..."

"Ok?"

Murong Xue obviously didn't understand what Su Qiaoer meant. She scratched her long hair curiously and walked into the room, only to see an extremely erotic scene.

He coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, this is in broad daylight. This doesn't seem right, does it?"

Zhou Chuxuan's mouth twitched, and he quickly let go of Xu Hanyan: "General Murong, has anyone ever told you that knocking on the door is not a rule in the Wu Dynasty's etiquette?"

Murong Xue gritted her teeth awkwardly: "Your Highness, General Hu Yongwei is outside, and, and, and..."

"Forget it, you don't have to say anything, I'll go out and take a look!"

Zhou Chuxuan patted Xu Hanyan's head, smiled, and slowly walked outside.

Xu Hanyan bit her lips tightly, feeling ashamed and angry. He, he actually started patting his head again. Didn't he know that patting his head would affect a person's growth?

Especially, she is the Crown Princess. What if the prince she gives birth to in the future is not smart enough?

Zhou Chuxuan slowly walked out of the door and looked at Hu Yongwei, who was kneeling on the ground with a stick on his back, and sighed: "General Hu, why do you have to do this?"

Hu Yongwei knelt on the ground. Although there were many onlookers around him, there was no trace of escape in Hu Yongwei's eyes: "Your Highness, you gave me a chance. I have already dealt with the Hong family. Now, it's your turn to deal with me!"

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled and slowly helped Hu Yongwei up from the ground: "General Hu, let's talk inside!"

After giving Murong Xue a look, Murong Xue hurried forward and took the stick off Hu Yongwei's back.

When they reached the courtyard, Hu Yongwei knelt down again: "Your Highness!"

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head helplessly: "General Hu, you haven't done anything wrong, but I hope you can change this behavior from now on."

Hu Yongwei nodded gravely. "Your Highness, in fact, the reason I protected the Hong family before was indeed because the military salary was too low. General, this... eating and drinking a few times a month is a bit stretched."

Murong Xue, who was standing by, nodded in agreement with this point.

"Your Highness, I agree with General Hu. Whether I was serving in the Northern Frontier or as a guard at the gunpowder factory, the salary I received each month was not much."

Zhou Chuxuan was silent for a moment: "Is the issue of military pay still so serious now?"

He has now begun to realize that after these external hidden dangers are gradually eliminated, the contradictions within the Wu Dynasty are also beginning to gradually emerge.

Hu Yongwei nodded heavily: "Your Highness, all of this is my fault. Now, I voluntarily accept the punishment!"

"Punishment is fine, but you made great contributions in the battle against the Liao army. If I punish you like this, wouldn't it seem that I am being unkind?"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled softly and stood up: "General Hu, go back. Remember to control your subordinates this time. If it happens again, it won't be so easy."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Hu Yongwei kowtowed deeply to Zhou Chuxuan twice, then stood up. When he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and looked at Zhou Chuxuan: "Your Highness, the matter of military pay..."

Zhou Chuxuan said unhappily: "I'll go and solve it for you right now!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Murong Xue looked at Hu Yongwei's back as he left, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

This guy is really brave!

How dare you make such a request in front of His Highness?

"General Murong, I suddenly remembered something!"

Zhou Chuxuan frowned suddenly. "The Fuling Army doesn't seem to have received any military pay, right? Why haven't they asked me for any?"

Murong Xue smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, are you sure you want to know the reason for all this?"

"Of course!"

"They...they amassed a considerable amount of wealth back when they were on Fuling Mountain. Therefore, they have been consuming their accumulated gold and silver for quite some time."

Zhou Chuxuan's mouth twitched. Did they rely on their wealth to rob the rich and help the poor?

Even so, he had no intention of blaming Han Bin, because he knew that Han Bin had his own rules and would definitely rob the rich to help the poor, rather than robbing some ill-gotten gains.

"Forget it, forget it. Go call General Han Bin and come with me to Lord Xu Qinglong's residence."

......

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and General Han are honored to have you visit my humble home!"

Looking at Zhou Chuxuan and Han Bin who walked in, Xu Qinglong couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Although one of these two is his son-in-law, he is also the current Crown Prince and the future ruler of the Wu Dynasty. The other one is a loyal general following the Crown Prince and is extremely brave.

Now, almost all the generals in the court and the country are intentionally or unintentionally moving closer to the soldiers of the Fuling Army and making friends with them. Everyone knows that the Fuling Army is now Zhou Chuxuan's personal soldiers.

Zhou Chuxuan smiled slightly, picked up the teapot and poured himself a pot of tea: "Why, from what Lord Xu said, you seem a little unwelcome to us?"

Xu Qinglong was slightly startled, then gave a wry smile: "How dare I? It is an honor for me that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Han are here!"

"Tell me, what does Your Highness want to do this time?"
