The happy life of a prodigal

Kang Wang frowned when he heard this, looked at Mr. Gong, and asked, "Isn't it?"

Elder Gong looked at him, sighed leisurely, and said, "Maybe some people scold Xin Anhou because they hate Xin Anhou, but most of them just do it for the sake of a good reputation... .

In fact, what they did to Xin'an Hou did not necessarily mean that they were extremely disgusted.

If nothing else, His Highness Kang Wang, let me ask you.

If those people really hated Marquis Xin'an so much, why didn't they object when His Majesty appointed Marquis Xin'an as the Minister of State?

You must know that the position of minister of the auxiliary country cannot be appointed by His Majesty alone.

What about the other three elders?

None of them objected, have you ever wondered why? "

Kang Wang remained silent, not saying a word.

But he already had the answer in his heart.

Obviously, he partly agrees with what old man Gong said.

Seeing that King Kang was silent, Mr. Gong sighed leisurely, and sighed: "This is the end, Your Highness, all we can do is try our best to make it up.

As I said, no matter what, it cannot be admitted.

In addition, we must send secret agents to investigate the matter vigorously, and assume an attitude that we must investigate to the end. Only in this way, those people will believe it.

Your Highness really has nothing to do with this matter.

Of course, even if they don't believe it, it doesn't matter, as long as His Majesty is not sure that His Majesty did it, it will be fine..."

Kang Wang lowered his head with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, he raised his eyes, looked at Mr. Gong, and said leisurely: "Okay."

............

half a month later.

Outside the city of Suzhou.

Several luxurious carriages were driving on the official road.

Around the official road, there are guards in heavy armor. From a distance, there are thousands of people.

Obviously, this is the arrival of the emperor.

in a carriage.

Seeing the secret report sent from the capital, Emperor Chu's face suddenly changed, he slammed the table, and angrily said: "It's just nonsense!"

Outside the carriage, Liu Cheng heard the roar of Emperor Chu, hurriedly opened the curtain, walked in, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Emperor Chu looked at him, his expression became a little cold, and he asked, "How long will it take to reach Gusu City?"

Then Liu Cheng raised his eyes, glanced out of the window, thought for a while, and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I will arrive at Gusu City in half an hour at most."

Emperor Chu nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and suddenly ordered: "The magistrate of Gusu City, did you bring someone to wait outside the city?"

Liu Cheng hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it seems that there is indeed such a thing."

The Emperor of Chu waved his hand and said: "Tell them not to wait, I won't go to the city, I can go back to Beijing after seeing the sweet potatoes."

Liu Cheng was slightly taken aback, apparently he did not expect that Emperor Chu would make such a decision.

You know, at the beginning, His Majesty planned to spend more time outside the city.

Inexplicably choose to go back to Beijing.

If nothing else happened, something must have happened in the capital that prompted His Majesty to make such a decision.

Could it be... Kang Wang did something to make His Majesty unhappy?

Having been with His Majesty for such a long time, Liu Cheng has a thorough understanding of many things.

Just thinking about it, I can guess the cause and effect of this matter.

It was nothing more than a conflict between His Royal Highness King Kang and Marquis Xin'an.

Even so, he still said: "Your servant understands, I will send someone to inform the prefect of Gusu City."

"Go."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Liu Cheng left the carriage.

Chu Huang picked up the teacup, took a sip, then picked up the document and continued to read.

Although he was in the carriage, he still didn't forget about many things.

For example, reading documents, or reading secret reports from the capital.

The former emperors may have gone to the south of the Yangtze River for pleasure.

But Chu Huang was not, he just wanted to see if the sweet potato thing was true.

In addition, it is a test for King Kang.

But did not expect.

King Kang couldn't stand the test so much.

As soon as he left the capital on his front foot, something happened to the assassin on his back foot.

But any individual knows whether this is possible.

Emperor Chu sighed leisurely, trying to calm down his mood, not thinking about these things.

At the same time, the carriage also turned around and started walking towards the outskirts of the city.

It took about one or two sticks of incense.

The carriage stopped.

Liu Cheng opened the curtain, walked in, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, here we are, in front of you is the fertile land bought by Marquis Xin'an."

Chu Huang nodded, got up and got off the carriage.

Liu Cheng naturally followed him, protecting him carefully.

"This piece of land is sweet potatoes?"

Looking at the sweet potato field, Emperor Chu asked with surprise on his face.

Liu Cheng followed Emperor Chu's gaze, and replied in a hurry: "Return to Your Majesty, there are indeed sweet potatoes."

Emperor Chu glanced at Liu Cheng, then at the sweet potato field, with a smile on his face, shook his head and said, "I never thought that the sweet potato that saved the people would be so mediocre."

Liu Cheng also smiled, but didn't answer.

In the sweet potato field, there were still many farmers working. Seeing such a mighty team, they were all taken aback and stood there, at a loss.

Seeing them, Emperor Chu smiled, waved his hands, and said, "Let those people come over, I have something to ask them."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Cheng responded hastily, and then ordered the guards beside him to call a few farmers over.

Although several farmers don't know who these people are and what they want to do.

But they can be sure of some things.

That is, these guys in front of them are all big shots, and they are all big shots that they can't afford to mess with.

Therefore, when the guards called them, they all came over without saying anything.

When they got in front of Emperor Chu, they suddenly realized that the person in front of them was wearing a golden dragon robe!

What kind of character is wearing the dragon robe.

Even if they don't know a word, they know it.

For a moment, they were all stunned.

Not knowing what to say or what to do.

According to common sense, they should be nervous and afraid.

However, at this moment, looking at the emperor who is close at hand.

But they forgot even their fear and nervousness, and just felt that their minds were blank.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Chu showed a warm smile on his face.

Along the way, he has met all kinds of people.

Such a reaction is perfectly normal.

nothing to blame...

Therefore, Emperor Chu looked at them without saying anything, but just asked, "Are you all farmers in this sweet potato field?"

Chapter 695 Down to earth!

No one answered.

It's not that they don't answer, it's just that they didn't respond.

Indeed, anyone who saw the emperor would not be able to react without a certain amount of time.

Emperor Chu was not in a hurry, and just looked at them with a warm smile.

After a while, a farmer finally came to his senses and whispered, "Yes, yes."

Emperor Chu looked at the farmer, and asked again: "This field is full of sweet potatoes?"

The farmer raised his eyes cautiously, glanced at Emperor Chu, and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the fields around here are all sweet potatoes."

"En." Chu Huang nodded lightly, looked at the farmer, and asked, "What are you doing?"

The farmer replied: "I'm harvesting sweet potatoes. It's time. If I don't dig them out, I'm afraid they will rot in the ground."

Emperor Chu looked around.

Indeed, most farmers are digging sweet potatoes in the ground.

Emperor Chu thought for a while and asked, "How much can we harvest from this mu of land?"

The farmer replied: "There should be several thousand gold, and we haven't even counted it."

These farmers were all recruited from nearby, and this land is not their land, so it is normal that they have not been counted.

Before Emperor Chu came here, he knew a little about these things.

Therefore, he didn't say anything, just waved his hand, called the pro-army general who was in charge of the nearby guards, and issued an order.

"Let your people come over and help them dig sweet potatoes. I want to see how many sweet potatoes there are in this acre of land!"

The general hesitated when he heard this.

After all, they are all responsible for the safety of the emperor.

They all went to dig sweet potatoes. If there is any problem with the emperor's safety, how should he explain it...

Although hesitant, but think about it.

There was still no objection, and he received the decree, saying: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, he turned around and found dozens of stronger pro-military soldiers, and arrived at the farmer's side.

"A few of you want to dig sweet potatoes."

"Yes." The general nodded.

A few people picked a piece of land and followed the farmer to dig up sweet potatoes.

Chu Huang stood aside and watched.

Although it is spring, the weather is already a little hot.

Liu Cheng found an oil-paper umbrella from nowhere to shield Emperor Chu from the sun.

However, Emperor Chu waved his hand and said, "I want to dig this sweet potato myself and see what kind of sweet potato it is."

When Liu Cheng heard this, he was startled for a moment, then his face showed surprise, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no!"
