Chapter 34
This time it was a great success, Bai Yuchen exuded an aura of complacency.He introduced Xie Qinghong's situation to a few of his confidants, because his respect for Xie Qinghong made those people jealous and tolerant of this newcomer.
"We're going back to Beijing soon, you can see if there are any omissions."
"Your Highness, this errand has been completed very well. Not only has it established a prestige among the officials in Jiangnan, but it has also won the hearts of the people. Who in this great glory does not praise His Highness for his benevolence and love for the people."
"Yes, Your Highness, not only can you show your face in front of the Holy One this time, but also spread your love for the people like a child, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"
"It's just..."
Although Bai Yuchen's expression was still modest, he was actually a little smug in his heart.He is only 23 years old and has only gotten some errands in recent years.For this mission, everyone disliked him, and the other brothers laughed at him for choosing to clean up that mess, and they were not afraid of putting themselves in it.However, he still volunteered to take up the job, and when he came to Jiangnan, he was indeed constrained everywhere.He overcame all difficulties, risked his life, and insisted on cleaning up those corrupt moths. Although he offended a large number of people, he also won the sacred heart and the hearts of the people, which is worth it.
Bai Yuchen had heard enough of the compliments, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at Xie Qinghong who was sitting silently, his expression was still indifferent, and he couldn't see his opinion on this matter at all.Bai Yuchen felt like a cat's paws were scratching in his heart, he couldn't help but ask Xie Qinghong, "I don't know if you have any other ideas, sir?"
When Xie Qinghong heard his question, he raised his eyes to look at him. His eyes were as deep and cold as well water, which instantly extinguished Bai Yuchen's excitement.
"His Royal Highness's trip to the south this time is of great significance. It not only swept away the corruption in the south of the Yangtze River, but also did a great thing for the people. This kind of feat is one of the few in the entire Great Rong Dynasty. Xie is indeed admire."
Speaking of this, Bai Yuchen's confidants all laughed in their hearts. They didn't expect that Mr. Xie, who seemed noble and arrogant, was actually a flatterer, and his methods of flattering were higher than theirs.However, Bai Yuchen always felt that Langgan's words hadn't finished yet, and his beastly intuition told him that the following words were definitely not good.
"At this moment, the officials feared His Highness like a tiger, and the common people respected His Highness like a god. Everyone in the entire Great Glory knew His Highness's prestige. Wherever he went, from the very old to the young, everyone praised His Highness for his benevolence. Virtue. When I look at the people in the world, I am afraid that they only hear about His Majesty's benevolence, but do not know His Majesty's righteousness."
Bai Yuchen's face darkened. He has a violent personality, and sometimes he does things just by feeling, but it doesn't mean he is a fool.Maybe he was dazzled by the sudden victory, but it doesn't mean that the people around him were dazzled, but they didn't remind him, what does it mean? !Bai Yuchen's sharp eyes swept over those confidantes, they could only lower their heads tremblingly, not daring to look directly into His Highness's eyes.
In fact, it's not that they haven't advised His Highness, but the person who took the lead no longer knows where His Highness has sent him.For so many years, the reason why there are so few civil servants around the fifth prince is because his temper is too terrible, and if he disagrees with him, he will see blood. How could those people be willing to get close to him.
"Your Highness is majestic, we naturally obey your words and deeds, how dare we have any other opinions?"
What Xie Qinghong said seemed to be praising Bai Yuchen, but in fact there was irony everywhere.With the personality of the fifth prince, I really don't know how he ascended to the throne before. If the prince hadn't been deposed and had the bug of the heroine, this prince wouldn't have had his turn.Moreover, even if he became the emperor, he would still be a tyrant, capricious and suspicious.
Bai Yuchen's whole body was scolded. If someone else said this, he would have thrown a teacup over.However, Xie Qinghong is the one teaching him now, this person who is three years older than himself, has experienced hardships, has a calm personality, looks ethereal like a fairy, but confesses the truth to himself, how dare he refute anything.Moreover, he also knew that what Langgan said was for his own good, so he dared to complain, anyway, it was right to be obedient ︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿
"I am too proud of myself, I will send someone to solve it immediately."
Xie Qinghong nodded, Bai Yuchen was good at this, he could listen to other people's opinions (Da Wu).He still has great trust in the abilities of Bai Yuchen's subordinates, and as long as this matter is discovered early, it won't be a big deal to guide public opinion.
Sure enough, on their way back to Beijing, what the people praised was no longer Bai Yuchen, but the benevolence of the current emperor Rongxuan.As soon as he returned to the capital, Bai Yuchen went to the palace to meet the saint, while Xie Qinghong lived in the palace under his arrangement, and specially gave Wei Zhuo, one of the eunuchs he trusted, to arrange for his room and board.

"You're back, kid. I thought you'd be so happy in Jiangnan." Emperor Rongxuan asked Bai Yuchen to stand up. He loved this son very much, not only because Bai Yuchen looked the most like him, but also because of this The son has the demeanor of his youth the most, and he has a kind of drive in everything he does.
"Father, if you say that, my son won't obey me. Look at me, I'm starving and thin." Bai Yuchen's tone was very affectionate. As the second son of Zhonggong, he can be said to have won all the love of his father. The emperor's feelings are also not ordinary.
"Oh, we have to make up for it, and we can't let our little five suffer." Emperor Rongxuan laughed as he spoke, and the two of them basically didn't mention Jiangnan's affairs. Almost all the emperors who should know knew it. It's homely, but it's not so warm. "Okay, I won't keep you anymore, hurry up to see your mother and your emperor brother, go back and rest quickly."
"My son obeys the order."
When he arrived at Kunning Palace, the Queen and the Crown Prince were already waiting for him there. Bai Yuchen has been loved since he was a child, and his mother's queen also loves this youngest son, and his elder brother, the Crown Prince, also loves this brother who is much younger than him. Chong, the relationship between the family is quite good, which can be said to be very rare in the royal family.
As for why Bai Yuchen wanted to fight for the throne, it had to start with him, the elder brother of the prince.This prince has not lived a stable life since he was established at the age of 15, because he is not good at government affairs, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.However, luck has made people trick people, such a person has to sit on the position of prince by virtue of his status as the eldest son, the disappointment of the father, the disgust of the ministers, and the staring eyes of the brothers, such a gentle and cowardly person is about to be crushed up.The prince is only 35 years old this year, but he has already grown some gray hair on his temples. He looks like a man of the same age as their father, which shows how painful he is.
However, being born in the royal family is always involuntary, and the position of prince is not something he can do if he doesn't want it.Once the emperor dies, and it is not him or his younger brother who sits on the throne, the result waiting for them is a dead end.Therefore, before his younger brother Bai Yuchen's power had developed, he could only grit his teeth and persevere in the wind and rain.It's a pity that in the previous life, this prince was still unlucky and died due to other people's schemes, which also became the help of Bai Yuchen's steadfast path.In this life, everything is still unknown.
"My son, I'm sorry for you..." The queen hugged Bai Yuchen, her voice gradually filled with distress, but she didn't dare to show her emotions too much, for fear of being spread out.
"It's fine, don't worry, Queen Mother." After speaking, Bai Yuchen turned to his elder brother again, "Your Highness, guess who I brought back this time?" Looking at him excitedly and proudly, I want his elder brother to guess.
The prince pampered his head, pretended to think seriously for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Did you bring a beautiful woman back from Jiangnan?"
"Brother~~~" Bai Yuchen's face was gloomy, looking at his brother who was usually honest but always had a bad stomach towards him, he didn't even call him the prince.
The prince laughed loudly, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, tell me, who made you care so much?"
Bai Yuchen turned his head away as if he didn't tell you, and didn't look at him angrily.
The prince coughed lightly, and could only coax his brother who had already exploded: "Okay, my brother shouldn't be teasing you, tell me quickly, I really want to know~" He also made a very curious question. expression.
That's about the same, Bai Yuchen thought proudly, "Brother, come back with me in a while, you'll know when you see him!"
The prince was helpless, but he had no choice but to follow him out of the palace because of his younger brother's acting like a baby.
