Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Li Xin and Zhao Hui unfolded the scroll and saw a poem on the right side:

If you want to realize your grand ambitions, you have endless aspirations. You should be a hero who helps the world.

A new chapter is waiting to be written with eternal rhyme, and your majesty will shake the nine provinces.

When the bright moon in the sky illuminates the road ahead, it is time to strive forward and make great plans.

This scene is unforgettable and I keep dreaming about it. I am lost in thought at midnight.

After reading the poem, Li Xin muttered, "What does this have to do with the magnificence of mountains and rivers?"

After reading it, Zhao Hui began to think, how could this calligraphy and painting be among the gifts? He did not see it when it was handed to him. The eunuchs in charge and the palace guards who escorted it were all present, so how could there be a mistake?

It seems that there is a mystery hidden in this calligraphy and painting.

He looked at the painting again. It was indeed very ordinary, but he still asked someone to frame it. There was no signature on the painting. Perhaps it was just a casual painting on the roadside. So the key point was the words.

He raised his eyes again and scanned the poem, and instantly found eight big words: If you want to establish a new king, it should be this boy.

Zhao Hui was suddenly a little dazed, and felt that his legs were a little unstable.

"Oh, Prince Yan is tired and can't stand anymore. Help His Highness to rest for a while. Come, pack up the young lady's dowry and leave this calligraphy and painting behind."

Li Xin's words surprised Zhao Hui. Could it be that Uncle Wang had seen the mystery in the calligraphy and painting, or was it someone who did it on purpose?

"Go and get a fire starter." Li Xin instructed the servant again.

"Uncle Wang, why are you bringing the tinder?" Zhao Hui seemed to understand something, but didn't quite understand it.

"This painting is so ugly. It's an eyesore to keep it in the mansion, but this calligraphy can't be shown to others. It's better to burn it."

Li Xin said it very easily, implying that if the painting was not a good one, the calligraphy could not be preserved.

After a while, a servant came with a tinder and asked, "Your Highness, shall we light it now?"

Li Xin looked at Zhao Hui and said, "Prince Yan, what do you think? This is something you brought with you, and it's not on the gift list."

Zhao Hui now understood why his father wanted him to leave the palace early. This was to discuss something with Li Xin, and it was a big matter of establishing a new emperor.

Burning it with fire means that you disagree, but no one knows who will be the next one. If you don’t try your best now, you will never have a chance.

But why didn't the emperor investigate the eldest brother's case? Who was he trying to pin down? Could it be the second brother, Zhao Wei?

At present, Zhao Wei has not gone to the vassal state, only because of the constraints of the Wei family, who insisted that the eldest prince and the second prince stay in the capital, the third and fourth princes go out to the vassal state, the fifth prince stays in the palace due to health reasons, and the sixth prince serves as the prince's companion.

He is also the prince's assistant. In other words, if Zhao Sheng has a good background, he has a great chance of getting promoted.

But the prince looked down on Zhao Sheng and suppressed him everywhere in order to show off his own talents. As a result, the second prince found an opportunity and brought the prince down in one fell swoop.

Zhao Hui knew the stakes at the moment and said with a sweet smile, "Uncle Wang, please give me this calligraphy. I think it's quite interesting."

Li Xin had no smile on his face at the moment, and said solemnly: "Since you want it, you should keep it well. It will be an honor to show it off in the future."

Zhao Hui was very nervous at this time, not knowing what to do. Should he just go back to the palace like this, which would be against his will?

"Prime Minister Wei's faction doesn't actually have many members, but mainly relies on the support of some wealthy people. The Crown Prince has the support of the Right Prime Minister, but you also know what kind of heart the Crown Prince has. Since the Emperor has an idea, you must be prepared to serve him at any time."

"Uncle Wang, is it that serious?" Zhao Hui was not afraid of fighting, but he did not want his brothers to kill each other.

"Since you have shown me this painting, the emperor wants me to support you. Don't worry, as soon as you send the message, I will lead my troops to the capital."

Now that things have come to this, it means that Li Xin will be one of Zhao Hui's backers in the future. As for what to do next, it depends on whether Zhao Hui can shoulder this heavy responsibility.

Luancheng’s biggest reliance nowadays is ready-to-eat food. Whether it is a restaurant or a wealthy family, guests can start eating directly from such dishes while waiting for other dishes.

Currently, Dingzhou is in short supply of such food, from the previous single tea dried food and egg white spicy strips to today's spicy dried fish, hot and sour kelp shreds, five-spice dried meat, etc.

Zhao Sheng’s biggest wish is to lie down and do nothing, especially at his current state. It is too unrealistic for him to make a name for himself. It is better for him to just be a live-in son-in-law.

Moreover, he had also agreed with Li Shuya that since Zhao Zhen and others were brought here, they would be treated as his own family members, and anything related to marrying off would be allowed to happen as they pleased.

Li Shuya also likes Zhao Sheng's personality. He doesn't have much desire to pursue anything. He is content with his own mountains, rivers, and family. He is the kind of person who goes with the flow.

The central city of Luancheng is actually a wall with houses on all four sides. Some rooms are for living, some are for storing miscellaneous items. There are seven steps in the middle, which are used for meetings, receptions, and dining.

In the middle are some study rooms and children's rooms, and at the back is the living room, which leads to the north gate.

The so-called four gates are guarded by guards, and there are also experts on duty in the middle.

However, in Zhao Sheng's opinion, there are still many loopholes. In such a large area, if someone sneaks in, it is easy to avoid the eyes of the surveillance.

Everything in the central city was being decorated and furnished, and some places were already occupied, but most of them were guards.

Li Xin also took Zhao Hui to take a quick look. Unfortunately, Zhao Sheng was not in Luancheng. This was probably arranged deliberately by Li Xin because he knew Zhao Sheng's true identity.

There has never been a shortage of unjust cases in the palace. Back then, the old prince accompanied the late emperor in conquering the country, and he didn't want to get involved in royal affairs in the future, so he wanted to retire. The late emperor begged him to do so, as they were brothers who had sworn life and death on the battlefield. How could he just leave his brother alone?

Therefore, Li Xin's father was granted the title of a king of a different surname, and was given the actual fiefdom of Dingzhou County, which was hereditary. As long as he did not rebel, it did not matter if he turned the tables in Dingzhou County.

But when it came to Zhao Hengzhen's hands, he felt that it was a thorn in his throat that Dingzhou County had a prince of a different surname here, so he kept sending a large army to Yanzhou to look down on him, and there were also heavy troops stationed in Damingfu in the middle.

Smart people saw that the emperor did not trust Zhao Xin, but they did not fall out. After all, Dingzhou still had the task of defending against the enemy, and he still had to do it.

After visiting Luancheng, the two returned home to discuss military defense.

After all, Prince Yan has an army when he comes to defend the king, and he will definitely not touch the border troops. However, once the Prince of Dingzhou withdraws his troops, the army of Yubei will be relatively weak.

The fourth prince, Zhao Hongyuan, is in Yuezhou. It is not impossible for him to return to Beijing to support the emperor. By the time he arrives, the emperor will have already changed the country's name.

The only thing is that the King of Chu is closest to Shangjing, but the Chu area is managed by Zhao Wei's people, and Zhao Heng cannot go to his own fiefdom.

This reminded Zhao Hui of what Zhao Heng said to him when he left Beijing, and he felt that this was a good opportunity.

Li Xin is a second-generation military man. When he was young, he was good at fighting with his father, and he was also alert when reading some documents. He was not experienced in using strategies, but he always had some tricks.

Li Shuya sent someone to tell Zhao Sheng about this matter, one to let him know that Zhao Hui had arrived, and the other to let him know about the conflict between Zhao Heng and Zhao Wei, to see if he had any way to resolve it.
