Live as the emperor

Chapter 282

How to choose between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is gaining momentum and Lord Hou who has retired but still influences the entire court?
Fat Lord made a decision after thinking for a long time.

"Your Highness, I saw the young Marquis yesterday. He seemed to be holding the box you described in his hand." The fat man said.

Ah Wen's body shook, and he raised his head to look at him, as if he was saying that since you know who it is, why didn't you say it earlier.

The fat man was very depressed, obviously he understood, but he thought in his heart, even if I say it, what can you do as a woman?I'm afraid you don't even know which way the gate of Lord Hou's mansion opens, do you?
Ah Wen's son is called Fu Lu Shou, a very powerful name, because of this name he was often ridiculed by those people in the barracks.

A person's name usually entrusts good wishes. For example, the name Peng means that the great Peng spreads its wings and soars high; such as.And it just so happened that his surname was Fu, which in itself already accounted for one of the three stars of Fortune, Luxury and Shou, so he simply brought the other two along.

Fu Lushou stood up immediately, came to the front of the fat man, and said through gritted teeth: "Are you saying that the young marquis killed my father?"

Fat Master was taken aback, took a step back quickly, and said, "I didn't say that, I just said that I saw that Young Master seemed to be holding a box like the one you mentioned, how would I know if it was the same box?"

Don't speak too harshly, this is the way to be a human being.If there is any change at that time, there will be room for maneuver.Fatty has been around for such a long time, so of course he understands these tricks.

Although what he said, the meaning is very clear, because that kind of box is not something that ordinary people can own. The royal family represents majesty. Even if it is an ordinary thing, as long as the royal family adopts it, anyone else can use it. It's that easy.Chen Guang knew in his heart that this must have been done by the young master.

Haha, the eldest lord celebrates his birthday, and the little lord kills people, that's very good, very good.

Chen Guang couldn't help sneering, he didn't want to have anything to do with this old Hou Ye at first, the so-called people go out for tea, the old Hou Ye has retired now, no matter how big the influence is, it will gradually fade away, for this kind of Of course, Chen Guang didn't want to provoke someone who was about to step onto the stage of history.But now it seems that this is not enough to provoke.

Originally, with Chen Guang's honorable status, no one would dare to say anything even if he pretended nothing had happened, but is Chen Guang that kind of person?He is a commoner himself, and he has heard too many stories of high-ranking officials' misconduct. Before that, he had no ability to participate. Now that he is in a high position, this incident is essentially caused by himself. He has no reason to stay out of it.

Seeing that Fu Lu Shou was aggressive and frightened the fat man, then Chen Guang spoke, and he said with a straight face: "In broad daylight, the world is clear, what is this little dude doing such a thing that is not as good as a beast? The crown prince absolutely cannot ignore it. You stay at home for the time being, and take care of Ah Fu’s funeral first, Wu Yong..."

Wu Yong, who had been standing behind him all the time, stood up and said, "The subordinate is here."

Chen Guang said: "Go and send 1000 taels of silver to help them prepare for their funerals and also for their future living."

1000 taels of silver, to Chen Guang now, is simply a drizzle, but to an ordinary working class, this 1000 taels of silver is simply a huge sum that is unimaginable.

"Yes." Wu Yong replied, and hurriedly asked people to go to the East Palace to apply for money.Chen Guang's current money is stored in the warehouse of the East Palace, under the care of Min'er and Zhou Zhiruo.

When Chen Guang opened his mouth and asked for 1000 taels, everyone, including Fu Lu Shou, A Wen, and even the fat man, was shocked.

They didn't know the relationship between Chen Guang and Ah Fu, so naturally they couldn't understand why Chen Guang made such a generous move.Logically speaking, when a craftsman died, it was a great honor for Chen Guang, as the crown prince, to come to express his condolences, not to mention the crown prince appropriating funds to organize the funeral.

But Chen Guang didn't care about this, he felt that this was what he should do.Not only that, he felt that he had more important things to do.

"Fatty Lord, your people stay here to help with the funeral. You come with me." Chen Guang said.

"Where are you going?" Fatty still didn't understand.

A meaningful smile appeared on Chen Guang's face, and he said, "Of course it's for Marquis Wu's birthday."

"Ah?" When the fat man heard this, his face drooped immediately, his heart trembled, and he said, "Well, Marquis Wu is a big shot. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to go, right?"

Nonsense, he was already taking a big risk by informing. If he still showed up at Wuhou's birthday celebration, wouldn't it be obvious to everyone that I was the one who informed?
If Marquis Wu does not fall by then, he must be the first one to be killed, okay?
As Lord Hou, he didn't need a reason to kill a commoner.

Chen Guang sneered: "What? Are you afraid?"

I'm scared, of course I'm scared. You are the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Emperor is covering your head. My head is just a melon-skin hat with nothing on it. If someone gets into trouble, I won't be the first. A cannon fodder?

Don't look at the fact that Fatty has never read a book or received the influence of the system, but after a long time in the mess, of course these ways can be clearly seen.

Chen Guang naturally knew these reasons, but why did he let the fat man go with him?Of course there are his considerations.Although Fat Lord is now his subordinate in name, but for such an old fritters, in fact, such a binding force is not strong.If you want him to be loyal to him wholeheartedly, you must have a certificate of honor, so that the fat man has no way out, and even makes him unable to survive once he leaves the prince system.

And there is such an opportunity in front of him, this is Chen Guang making a choice for Fat Lord, whether to continue like this, or become a complete ****.

That's right, now Chen Guang is already thinking about building his own strength. Countless history has taught him that if he doesn't have enough cards in his hand, no matter how high his reputation and contribution are, it's actually nothing. Being an emperor This kind of thing is just a foundation, and there are more important things, such as force, such as dominance over the throne.These are essential.

Fatty is worried.He had been considering whether to send the information to Chen Guang before, but now after sending the information, Chen Guang "made an inch". This is the rhythm of completely tying himself to his chariot.

Should you follow or not?

If it was a few years ago, he would not hesitate, but Chen Yong, who had been the prince for several years, was taken down. The meaning left by this incident is far-reaching. It is also possible to get it down.So, Chen Guang is the prince now, who can guarantee that he can be the emperor until the end?You know, Chen Ang is now in his prime, and there are still quite a long time before Chen Guang becomes emperor.
