Happy Little Scholar

"People outside are saying that His Highness is the true emperor!" In the Shu Palace, two maids were doing their work while whispering something.

"I've heard about it too. There seems to be a talking white fox and a stone tablet dug out from the river. It's all over the place. I heard about it when I went out to purchase today."

The two maids chatted in low voices, not realizing that there was a figure standing behind them.

"Cough." At a certain moment, the Shu King coughed lightly.

The two maids turned their heads hurriedly, their faces turned pale in an instant, and they immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Your Highness, spare me, Your Highness, spare me!"

"Am I that scary?" The Shu King smiled, and seemed to be in a really good mood. He waved his hand and said, "You two are good, go down and get your reward!"

Until the Shu King limped away, the two maids were still kneeling on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

His Highness usually hates others talking behind his back, and he even beat a servant to death because of it. Why did he suddenly change his temper today? Did he take the wrong medicine?

No matter what medicine His Highness took, he didn't have to be punished. He hurriedly got up from the ground. As for the reward money, how could it be more important than his own life?

All the servants in the Shu Palace could feel that His Highness was in a good mood today. He even hummed a little song while walking. This was simply a wonder that the palace had not seen for several years.

"It's a rare good thing to meet a good thing. Today, all the servants in the palace will be rewarded!"

The Shu King gave an order to the housekeeper of the palace, and planned to go out of the palace to see it himself.

Last time, he was inexplicably blamed, which really made him depressed for several days. However, it didn't take long for things to turn around. In the past two days, the people have been calling for him to ascend the throne. Compared with this, what is the ridicule and suspicion of the past few days?

"Could it be that even God is helping me?"

After a while, he sat in the sedan chair, listening to people occasionally talking about something on the street, and the smile on his face was hard to hide.

The people's will, is that position far away from him?

At this moment, he seemed to feel that he had already stood at the top.

……

"What, His Highness is not here?" More than a dozen ministers gathered outside the Shu Palace, and frowned at the same time when they heard what the palace's doorman said.

At this time, His Highness was not here, what was he thinking?

The Censorate had already written a joint letter to impeach His Highness for disrupting the government and misleading the people. I'm afraid that what they will face next is His Majesty's thundering anger. At this time, he was not in the palace?

Isn't his foot injury still healed!

"Go to Qin's Mansion!" They were not the capital city magistrates, nor were they censors. Naturally, they received the news much later than the other party. After realizing the seriousness of the matter, they immediately united to discuss countermeasures with the Shu King, but they didn't expect to come up empty-handed.

Time can no longer be lost, someone made a decision immediately.

At this time, in the Qin Mansion, Qin Xiang looked at a withered old tree in the courtyard and murmured: "This is heartbreaking!"

"Who on earth did this!" An official behind him said angrily.

"Stupid, absolutely stupid, this is harming Your Highness!"

Everything that happened in Kyoto in the past two days seemed to be building momentum for the King of Shu, but in fact it was flattery. Although it can make Your Highness gather the people's hearts in a short time, how can Your Majesty and the civil and military officials of the court tolerate such a thing?

If Your Majesty's dragon body is dying, this is naturally a wonderful method. However, now the situation is turbulent, and it is the time when the people's hearts need to be stabilized. Your Majesty and the court officials have accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with Your Highness. Starting early is tantamount to digging their own graves.

What makes them even more desperate is that for some reason, the speed of spread of these rumors is so fast that it leaves them no time to react.

The white fox presented auspicious signs, the stone tablet in the river, and folk songs almost put the King of Shu on the altar. The higher he was praised, the more miserable he fell. The censors of the Censorate had gone crazy, and the memorials of all officials flew to the Shangshu Province like snowflakes. Even Prime Minister Qin did not dare to suppress today's events...

It must be said that this was a stupid move that could not be any stupider. However, the most helpless thing was that the person behind the scenes was very likely a supporter of your highness, or your highness himself...

Although they could not make such a stupid move, your highness------it was not certain.

In the current situation, your highness was really being roasted on the fire.

One of them showed a helpless look on his face and said, "For now, the only solution is to let His Highness come to the palace to apologize and express his attitude. His Majesty may be lenient. After all, His Majesty's health is not as good as before. For the sake of stability in the court, His Highness will not be severely punished..."

"That's right, let's go to the palace immediately, otherwise, it will be too late!"

"What, His Highness is not here?" A moment later, many people stopped outside the Shu Palace in shock. At the same time, in a restaurant somewhere in Kyoto, the triumphant Shu Prince and a group of young people at the table clinked their glasses and laughed, "I'm in a good mood today, all expenses are on my account!"

……

……

"The Jing Kingdom is prosperous, and the virtuous are called kings..., the real dragon should be the eldest son, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters wind and clouds..." The face of the Jing Emperor flushed, and his breathing was rapid. He swept a thick stack of memorials on the table, pressed one hand on his chest, and said angrily, "Asshole, I'm not dead yet, are you so impatient!"

"Your Majesty, calm down. The dragon's body is the most important!" Chang De looked panicked. He put one hand on the back of Emperor Jing and circulated his Qi. After a while, Emperor Jing's breathing gradually calmed down.

Emperor Jing stroked his chest several times, and asked in a weak voice: "What's the matter with the white fox and the stone tablet? Who is behind it? Have you found out?"

Chang De immediately said: "Your Majesty, the white fox is just an ordinary fox. The reason why those people heard it speak human words is probably because someone imitated it with ventriloquism. And for a skilled stonemason, it is not difficult to make the stone tablet look old..."

He pondered for a moment and spoke again: "As for the person behind the scenes, he just buried a stone tablet, had someone imitate the voice of the fox, and wrote a few ballads. He didn't need to do it himself, and the Secret Service had no way to investigate."

Chang De sighed. Such a low-cost, high-efficiency strategy gave people the feeling that the other party did something with a wave of his hand, and the entire court, the entire Kyoto, and even the whole world were in chaos because of it... It was really helpless.

However, it didn't matter who the person behind the scenes was, because everyone knew his purpose.

First, the son of a court official was murdered and framed by Li Yi, and then rumors were spread to build momentum for the King of Shu. Who is behind this? Do we need to guess?

"When the dragon comes out of Shu, Jingguo will prosper!"

Emperor Jing looked gloomy, took a few deep breaths, and said coldly: "In this case, let him stay in Shu!"

Changde glanced at Emperor Jing who was already drafting an edict, and after a moment, he spoke again: "Your Majesty, Liu Yishou found some things about the murder of the son of the Minister of Rites."

"Did you find out who is targeting Li Yi?" Emperor Jing asked lightly, without raising his head.

"The more you do, the more mistakes you make, but I admire Li County Lord more and more."

Changde sighed lightly, then shook his head and said: "When investigating this case, I accidentally found some things, which made the incident twenty years ago have new progress..."

Emperor Jing paused with the pen in his hand and slowly raised his head.

"Say!"
