The villain is ruthless

Chapter 596 Don't Take Your Highness (Fifteen)

No matter which dynasty, there are conservatives.

Insist on setting up a heir and not a long, and swear to the death to defend the purity of the emperor's blood.

In the minds of these veterans, only the sons born to the empress are eligible to inherit the throne. The other princes, even if they were born earlier than the sons, are all bastards and have no qualifications to become emperors at all.

Such conservatives were once hated by the bastards, and were often attacked and excluded, but they still adhered to the rules left by their ancestors.

Even if the little prince had disappeared, they would not turn around to support Xiao Ting, as long as the news of the little prince's death did not come, they would have to wait.

This made Xiao Ting desperately want to kill these old officials, thinking that they are pedantic and incompetent, with elm heads.

What's wrong with him?He is older than Xiao Yang, and knows more than him?Is the emperor's first son!Why can't he inherit the throne?It's not fair!

Little did he know that his troubles were just the opportunity for the little prince to make a comeback.

The little prince wrote a letter to one of the grand masters, and then took Jiang Zhu to the jewelry store to pick up bank notes at night.

I don't know what the queen thought at the beginning, but fortunately, a few shops were left behind, otherwise the life in Beijing would be really difficult.

On the second day, a black carriage came to pick up the little prince.

There is a six-pointed star logo engraved on the shaft, it is the person sent by the Taifu.

Jiang Zhu asked the little prince to change into new clothes, told him to be careful on the road, and then let him out.

When the little prince walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and saw Jiang Zhu staring at him blankly, and couldn't help but said, "Sister, wait for me."

Jiang Zhu couldn't help laughing at such ordinary words, "Let's go."

The little prince thought about it, Baba ran back and hugged Jiang Zhu before leaving with the carriage.

He had no doubts in his heart, if the Tai Tuo had already belonged to Xiao Ting, then his trip this time might be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

Simply, Tai Tuo is on his side after all.

After the little prince left, Jiang Zhu was a little restless, to avoid thinking wildly, she took the bank note and planned to go to the street to see if there was a shop with a suitable location, and then open a small shop.

The streets in Shangjing are much more lively, and the pedestrians on the street all have satisfied smiles on their faces, and most of the people who come and go are wearing silk and satin.

Jiang Zhu walked around the street twice and bought a bowl of mutton soup, the price was several times the price in the town.

I thought, should I also open a mutton soup restaurant.After asking about the rent, I realized that I was thinking too much.

Back in the house in the afternoon, she circled the shops with preferred locations, planning to open a pastry shop.

The little prince came back near the evening, his clothes were neat and tidy, the same as when he went out, without any change.

Jiang Zhu welcomed him in and brought him a bowl of bean soup to quench his thirst.

The little prince drank up the bean soup, sat on a chair to rest for a while, and then mentioned the Taifu.

Taifu Lin was the little prince's first teacher, and he can be regarded as an enlightened person. He taught the little prince a lot of things, learned a lot, but he was a bit rigid.

Hearing the news that the little prince was still alive, he was extremely happy and wanted to see the little prince immediately.

The little prince naturally saw him, and Taifu Lin treated him as sternly and respectfully as before.

Seeing that the little prince has suffered all these years, but still has not given up his studies, he is very happy. He feels that the little prince is a person with great perseverance, so he asked the little prince what his plans are for the future.

The little prince naturally told the truth, Taifu Lin was very supportive of the little prince's approach.

From his point of view, the current Xiao Ting is the dove occupying the magpie's nest, so naturally he wants to get rid of him.

But he didn't dare to take the position of the little prince rashly. After all, the little prince just returned to Shangjing. He has no power, no power, nothing. How can a bare general compete with a million soldiers?

Taifu Lin's silence did not disappoint the little prince, he simply left the Lin residence.

"Sister, don't worry, I won't lose." The little prince stared at the moonlight outside the window, his tone was surprisingly tenacious, "He is just one of my lines, not all of my deployment."

"I know," Jiang Zhu said, "but now that he knows you're back, he must be more careful in his actions in the future."

"Ah."

Seeing that he had calmed down, Jiang Zhu talked to him about the pastry shop with a smile, "What do you think of this idea?"

"Excellent," said the little prince, "my sister's cakes are the best in the world, and the shop will definitely open."

Jiang Zhu was greatly encouraged, "Then I will sell the shop tomorrow."

"it is good."

Before dawn the next day, the little prince went out again.

Jiang Zhu took down a small shop on the street and immediately started making preparations.

She plans to make some pastries that have never appeared in Shangjing, combining ancient and modern dessert techniques.

On the opening day of the pastry shop, it was naturally empty, and no one cared about it.

Jiang Zhu was not in a hurry, he called the children playing in the street, and immediately made up a doggerel. Each of them shared two pieces of pastry, and asked them to form a team, from the street to the end, reciting the doggerel like singing.

This kind of publicity method is almost unheard of in Shanghai, and the children love the cakes so much that people keep coming to buy a few pieces to try.

Jiang Zhu's price was on the high side in other shops, but no one complained about it, and instead became a repeat customer, coming again and again.

The business of the pastry shop was on the right track, Jiang Zhu bought two servants to manage it, and he disguised himself as a man and followed the little prince as his bodyguard.

The little prince was reluctant at first, thinking that Jiang Zhu, a woman, should stay at home and enjoy the blessings, but Jiang Zhu knocked down a reckless man with a few punches, which made him admire him.

The little prince contacted another old minister. This lord had received the favor of the queen. Seeing that the little prince was still alive, he immediately wept with joy and decided to support the little prince without hesitation.

This breakthrough made Jiang Zhu and the little prince heave a sigh of relief at the same time.

Soon, the two got a lot of news from the ministers. For example, the hero Xiao Ting was training to attack the neighboring small countries. is in the cold war.

"Your Majesty's thoughts are correct," said the old minister, who does not advocate war. "Nanyue already has enough offerings every year. Attacking them rashly will probably make them jump the wall, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time."

The Nanyue kingdoms have been the vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty since a long time ago, and they have always kept their duty, never making trouble at the border, and offering rare treasures from time to time, which made the emperor and ministers very satisfied, and did not want to Take the initiative to cause trouble.

But the eldest prince is different. Since he became the crown prince, he has become a main fighter, thinking that the Nanyue kingdoms should be eliminated, so as to promote the prestige of the great state of Zhou and truly eliminate dissidents.

There is nothing wrong with Xiao Ting's idea. Turning Nanyue into a part of the Great Zhou is what the emperor has always wanted to do.

It's a pity that the Nanyue kingdoms are good at voodoo, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. If they want to fall out with them, Da Zhou will have to pay a big price.

This is the root cause of the emperor's forbearance.
