Chapter 179
After Qingyu returned from the palace, she also started to discuss with the butler, the shops and properties under the prince and princess, and found all the shopkeepers under the prince and concubine's hands.
Looking at the crowd, the butler finally spoke: "Now the prince is out to fight, and the atmosphere in the capital is weird, what do you think?"
The shopkeepers don't know, what does the butler mean by this? Looking at the butler, the shopkeeper asked, "Does the butler want us to temporarily close the business?"
When all the managers heard this, has the matter gotten to this point? The steward sighed, even the imperial concubine Qing was recalled to the palace by the emperor to protect her.
But now that the prince is not here, this time is different from the previous situation. No one knows when the other party will do what. Thinking of this, the housekeeper thought.
If the business is worse, these people must be kept, so I decided to follow the original plan: "If possible, that's what I plan to do."
"Recently, the atmosphere in Kyoto is tense. Many shops have closed their doors. This is also a normal thing. It's not easy for people to look for opportunities to frame them."
After the steward said this, the shopkeeper couldn't say anything at noon, so he had to go back and close the shop. Only Yueniang smiled: "Housekeeper, I can't close these two shops."
Hearing Yueniang's words, the butler was stunned for a moment: "Why? You are your Yangshengtang and Shengyantang. That is definitely one of the shops that people want most."
Qingyu also coughed and coughed twice: "Sister Yueniang, let's close the door for now, just don't disband the medical team, let them go to the countryside separately."
"The reason for closing the door is that the princess is not here, and they are out of stock, so that's fine."
Yueniang frowned, looking at Qingyu: "It must be closed, this is what the princess means. Take advantage of this time, I will give you a vacation, go out and have fun."
This is the news from Qian Jiujiu, and I will not take this step unless I have to, but the housekeeper and Qingyu discussed it, and when it is a last resort.
It's too late, these people in front of them are the backbone of the palace and cannot be lost. Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
After the outside voices were dealt with, Qingyu reported the news about Concubine Qing's entry into the palace one by one to Qian Jiujiu, while Qian Jiujiu was looking at the news.
I also feel relieved in my heart, it doesn't matter if I lose money or something, as long as people are fine. And Hongyue even stopped the hot spring manor that was under construction there.
The masters of the hot spring manor refused to leave, so they waited there, waiting for the princess to come back and continue working, while Hongyue invited Chen Da to the palace.
If they want to retreat at that time, it is better to retreat together, because Qian Jiujiu left the palace with Xiaoman, so the two people who were supposed to get married did not get married.
All the business of the Wangfu stopped overnight, out of stock, out of stock, no one, as if overnight, all the forces belonging to the Wangfu were hidden.
When this kind of thing happened, of course the people from Mu Yecheng and the Liu family knew about it immediately. It's just that Mu Yecheng only sneered twice when he knew that everyone in the palace was still there.
"These people are quite powerful. They knew that the prince was going to do something, but they all evacuated ahead of time. If you want to find them, you have to dig three feet to find these people."
"Then kill them all without pardon! The palace and Mu Yexiao's forces will all be wiped out by this prince."
Of course the emperor has also received the news, he doesn't think that Mu Yecheng has such a great ability, and it must be the arrangement of the Xiao Palace to be able to eliminate the forces belonging to the Xiao Palace at the same time.
And all he has to do now is to guard the palace, the empress and concubine Qing. Waiting for Mu Yexiao to come back, presumably Mu Yecheng's group won't be able to dance anymore.
It's just that when the emperor knows that the general's mansion has gathered tens of thousands of people outside the capital, the emperor's mood is not beautiful, and the emperor's mood is not good.
Old General Liu actually went to the palace to ask for an audience, and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."
The emperor looked at Old General Liu: "I don't know what the general wants to do?"
"Your Majesty, the matter of the crown prince is related to the foundation of the country. Your Majesty, you are no longer young, should you establish a crown prince?"
The emperor's face was flushed with anger, and then he looked at Old General Liu with a sneer: "I don't know who is the crown prince that Old General Liu mentioned? Tell me, I will refer to it."
Old General Liu curled his lips: "Of course it's the third prince, Mu Yecheng. The third prince is young and promising, talented and intelligent. Of course he is the best candidate for the crown prince."
The emperor looked at Old General Liu: "I think about it, how about giving the general an answer when the court tomorrow morning?"
Old General Liu didn't expect the emperor to agree immediately, so he nodded: "Then please think about it carefully, when the court tomorrow morning, I will wait for the emperor's good news."
After finishing speaking, Old General Liu didn't even have any luggage, so he just turned around and walked out. The emperor threw his nose on the ground angrily.
The eunuch beside him immediately stood beside the emperor: "Don't be angry, the emperor, the news here should be passed on to Prince Xiao as soon as possible."
The emperor snorted coldly: "Of course I know, but it's just not the time yet."
The eunuch didn't speak any more, just remained silent, and it was time for the morning court the next day. Not surprisingly, the old general Liu also came at the court this morning.
And the first thing is the appointment of the crown prince: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the emperor thinks about the establishment of the crown prince?"
The emperor's eyes flicked back and forth among these ministers: "Do all the lovers think that I should appoint a crown prince? Come and speak freely today. Express your opinions."
All the ministers were taken aback when they heard what the emperor said, and some didn't understand, what does the emperor mean by this? Is this agreed to be established, or not to be established?
And a minister on General Liu's side got a signal from General Liu and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, the establishment of a crown prince is related to the foundation of the country."
"It's a good thing to be able to confirm it early."
The emperor looked at the minister: "Then Peng Aiqing, who do you think should be the crown prince? You all recommend it."
All the ministers should be sad, what happened to the emperor today? Why do you speak so strangely? Then Peng Aiqing was pushed out by Old General Liu after listening to the emperor's words.
There was only one way to go to the dark, looking at the emperor: "Back to the emperor, I thought that the third prince Mu Yecheng was born with intelligence, and he would definitely make our Great Zhou Kingdom even stronger."
The emperor squinted his eyes, glanced at Peng Aiqing, and didn't say anything, but this made the people on the Ren's side very upset, because the people on the Ren's side were very upset.
But the one who has always supported Xiao Wang, Mu Yexiao, Master Ren expressed his dissatisfaction when he heard this: "You are born smart? Can you become a prince?"
"This minister thinks that King Xiao Mu Yexiao is the candidate for the crown prince. Everyone can see this. King Xiao is the most prominent among all the princes."
"Whether it's the record or the contribution to the Great Zhou, the position of the prince must belong to King Xiao."
The two ministers started to argue because of this. On the one hand, they said that King Xiao Mu Yexiao should be the crown prince, and on the other hand, General Liu's mansion insisted that Mu Yecheng was the crown prince.
So the two factions began to argue in the main hall, and there was another faction, the royalist faction, just like the emperor, watching silently.
The eunuch next to the emperor suddenly shouted: "Retire."
After the ministers who were still arguing were stunned for a moment, they saw that the emperor had already left. Now that the emperor has left, it is useless to say anything.
On the other side, Qian Jiujiu also received the news that the emperor is being forced by General Liu to appoint a crown prince. After Qian Jiujiu received the news, she also came to Mu Yexiao.
"My lord, this is the news just sent from the capital. The emperor is being forced to make Mu Yecheng the crown prince. Do you have any ideas?"
Mu Yexiao glanced at Qian Jiujiu: "We don't need to do anything more about this matter, Father will arrange it. It seems that the matter on our side is more urgent."
"The trebuchet you made has been made, and it has been used on the battlefield. The effect is very good, but it is obviously impossible to throw it directly into the enemy's camp."
Qian Jiujiu blinked and looked at Mu Yexiao with a smile: "Mu Yexiao, have you let go of the Kongming Lantern?"
Mu Yexiao nodded: "When the queen mother is born again, I let it go, what's wrong?"
Qian Jiujiu pouted: "Then did you let the Kongming lantern land at the granary of the local camp, and then you can burn the other party's granary?"
The corner of Mu Yexiao's mouth twitched: "Where did you come up with such a strange idea, I can't control the Kongming lantern, and the Kongming lantern will fly higher and higher after that."
While talking, Mu Yexiao rubbed Qian Jiujiu's head, expressing some helplessness for Qian Jiujiu's thoughts, Qian Jiujiu pouted: "Then what can we do?"
"Why don't you make the trebuchet longer, the longer it is, the farther you can throw it, do you want to try it?"
"You'd better go to bed early, this king will figure out a solution for this matter, this time it must be over early."
Seeing what Mu Yexiao said, Qian Jiujiu had no other choice, after all, she would not agree to make the bomb. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Mu Yecheng watched Qian Jiujiu fall asleep, so he continued to deal with things. He didn't go to sleep until the place came to deliver the dead again at night and was killed.
Seeing Qian Jiujiu's big belly, Mu Yexiao was worried for a moment, and then he was going to sleep next to Qian Jiujiu, but he saw Qian Jiujiu suddenly opened his eyes.
"Mu Yexiao, my legs are cramping."
Qian Jiujiu, this is the first leg cramp since she was pregnant! Mu Yexiao hurriedly rubbed her legs.
