Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

It was late at night when Pei Linzhi hurried home wearing stars and moon.

Ji Hai opened the door for him and whispered to him for a while, Pei Linzhi nodded to show that he understood.

He returned to his room, Xiang Yang leaned against the door with his arms folded, and when he saw him back, he stood up straight.

Pei Linzhi nodded at him, but the two of them didn't exchange a word.Xiang Yang walked towards his room, while Pei Linzhi gently pushed the door and entered the room, trying not to make any noise.

The lantern in the room was still on, only Ah Ping was lying on the bed, and Xiao Yu fell asleep at the desk.

Pei Linzhi walked over, and the writing brush fell on the table. The tip of the brush was still wet, and a small area of ​​the table was painted black.

Pei Linzhi picked up the brush and put it on the pen holder, then gently helped Xiao Yu up, ready to carry him to the bed.

Xiao Yu had something on his mind these past few days, and his sleep was very light. As soon as Pei Linzhi picked him up, he woke up, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you back?"

Pei Linzhi didn't let go of his hand, and continued to hug him: "Well, why don't you go to bed? Is your husband visiting the family of the deceased today?"

Xiao Yu didn't protest Pei Linzhi's embrace, but put his hand over his eyes: "Yes."

Pei Linzhi knelt down beside the bed and laid him down on the bed: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself too much. No one wants to see such a thing happen. But if you don't make sacrifices, there will be endless chaos on the land of China." When there is a war, people will die like this every day. What we have to do is to end this troubled world, let the people of the world live and work in peace, and there will be no more wars and massacres."

Xiao Yu put down his hands: "You are right, only when the troubled times are ended, such sacrifices will disappear."

Growing up in a prosperous age, he naturally understands the value of peace, and also knows that it is not a vain fantasy, as long as he works hard, it will definitely be realized.

It's just that before that, countless people would throw their heads and blood, even including himself.

Pei Linzhi said: "Your Majesty, rest early, I'll go take a bath."

Xiao Yu asked: "How are things in Zhoucheng arranged?"

Pei Linzhi said: "It's almost done. From tomorrow onwards, all soldiers will strengthen their military training. Guan Shan and I have to go there every day. From now on, Lai Feng and Xiang Yang will be responsible for your safety. You must not take it lightly, and you must not act alone. "

Xiao Yu nodded: "I know."

As Pei Linzhi said, he got up and went to take a shower. In fact, he could live in the city, but for Xiao Yu, he was willing to travel every day.

After Zhulu county magistrate Tang Jingyun's matter is resolved, he intends to persuade Xiao Yu to move to the city, at least with an extra guarantee of safety.

When Pei Linzhi came back from the shower, he saw a piece of paper falling on the ground, which must have been blown down by the wind. He picked it up, walked to the table, and prepared to press it down with something.

Leaning closer to the light, he took a closer look at what was written on it, and couldn't help being stunned. It was all about Yazhou's governance plan, which was divided into six aspects: officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workers, including officials, population , taxation, education, military, criminal punishment, water conservancy, farming and other aspects, not only analyzed the situation, but also listed a rough governance plan.

The thinking is clear and organized, and Pei Linzhi becomes more and more delighted the more he looks at it. This kind of governance framework is many times clearer than Anguo's current chaotic court organization.Your Highness's ten years of education for the prince was not in vain, he is a natural talent for governing the country!

Pei Linzhi didn't have time to sleep, so he quickly sorted out what Xiao Yu had written, and put it away as if he had found a treasure.

A few days later, Tang Jingyun rushed to Yazhou to report on his work as scheduled.When he entered the city, he was severely interrogated. He thought it was because the new governor had just arrived in a place, and the security measures were stricter, but he didn't suspect that there was anything wrong.

But as soon as he entered the governor's mansion, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. The people standing in the courtyard were all heavily armed soldiers.

After entering the courtyard, the guard at the gate said, "Your Excellency, go in by yourself. Your followers are waiting in the courtyard."

Tang Jingyun looked at the dozen or so entourages he had brought, and nodded: "You guys wait here."

He followed the guard into the door, and the guard did not lead him to the hall, but led him to the gazebo in the back garden.

Zhuguan County Magistrate Yao Tao and a handsome young man were sitting at a stone table in the gazebo. The two were drinking tea. Seeing him coming, Yao Tao stood up and cupped his hands: "Master Tang, you are finally here."

Tang Jingyun lifted the hem of the official mansion, knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty Tang Jingyun, I pay my respects to the Inspector."

Pei Linzhi put down his teacup, stood up, and helped him up: "Master Tang, please get up, I'm not Zhao Lun."

Tang Jingyun raised his head and looked at the tall young man in front of him in surprise: "What about Mr. Zhao?"

Yao Tao said: "Master Tang, this is Duke Pei, the protector of the country."

Tang Jingyun blinked, apparently not quite understanding why the Duke of the State was in the Governor's Mansion.

"Master Tang, Mr. Pei has something to ask." Pei Linzhi said and bowed to Tang Jingyun.

Tang Jingyun was so frightened that he hid to the side. The Duke of the State is a first-rank title, how could he be able to afford a seventh-rank county magistrate: "Mr.

Pei Linzhi said: "Pei is very thirsty for talent, and I hope Mr. Tang can help me."

Tang Jingyun didn't know what to say, "I don't quite understand what the Lord said."

Pei Linzhi stopped beating around the bush and said, "I killed Zhao Lun."

Tang Jingyun was so frightened that he slumped down on the ground, with a terrified expression on his face: "You, you, you, he, he is an official ordered by the court." Although Yazhou is small, it is also a state, and the governor is equivalent to a fifth-rank official position. He said If you kill, you kill. This is rebellion.

Pei Linzhi said: "I don't know. Zhao Lun tried to murder Xiao Yu, the prince of the orthodox blood of the Anguo royal family, so I killed him."

Tang Jingyun rolled his eyes and finally realized that it was for the purpose of abolishing the prince Xiao Yu.

He secretly groaned in his heart, they killed the governor sent by the emperor, why did they call him here?

Pei Rinzhi pulled Tang Jingyun up from the ground: "Master Tang, please stand up. Linzhi had no choice but to do it in order to protect the Lord. Now that he has fired his bow, there is no arrow to turn back, so he can only walk on bravely. We need Mr. Tang's assistance."

Tang Jingyun's face was pale, knowing that he was going to be forced to stand in line: "Grandpa Pei, please clarify."

Pei Linzhi said: "My Royal Highness Xiao Yu has been deposed as a crown prince and demoted to Yazhou as a commoner. However, the new emperor Xiao Yi wants to kill them all. Does Master Tang think this is too much?"

Tang Jingyun nodded bitterly, thinking that there is no way, who told you to be born in the royal family.

Pei Rinzhi said: "We have no choice but to do this. It's all for survival. Besides, Xiao Yi's surname is Xiao, so isn't my Highness Xiao? In comparison, my Highness is more qualified to be emperor. In the land of Yazhou, we want Yes. Mr. Tang, there are two choices in front of you: either follow my highness, or remain loyal to your emperor. You have to be clear, it is impossible for me to allow alien forces to exist on the territory of Yazhou."

Tang Jingyun's face was pale, but he already knew very well that he had only two choices: either die or defect to Xiao Yu.

Yao Tao at the side said, "Grandpa Pei, let me persuade Mr. Tang a few words."

Pei Linzhi nodded: "Then please trouble Master Yao." Then he left the pavilion and let them talk alone.

Tang Jingyun looked at Yao Tao and said, "Have you betrayed the emperor?"

Yao Tao smiled indifferently: "It's not a betrayal. The emperor I was loyal to has passed away. I haven't seen the new emperor yet, so why don't I comment on it. But I have seen His Highness Xiao Yu. A good bird chooses a tree. Qi, so I chose to follow him."

Tang Jingyun said: "Cannibalism, loyalty, I can't do such infidelity."

Yao Tao smiled: "An Guo was not brought down by Xiao Yi, but by the holy ancestor. Xiao Yu is the direct descendant of the holy ancestor. How can I be considered disloyal?"

Tang Jingyun said: "But he has been deposed."

"That can't change his status as the eldest son and grandson. Why is Mr. Tang so stubborn? Let me show you something." Yao Tao took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Tang Jingyun. summed up in the plan.

Tang Jingyun looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at the words on the paper. After reading it, he couldn't hide his surprise on his face: "What is this?"

Yao Tao said: "This is the central organization proposed by His Highness Xiao Yu. With such a talent, does Master Tang think it is worthy of allegiance?"

Yao Tao sighed again: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Tang should be from a poor family like me. He has been an official for many years, and he will eventually die of old age in this small post of county magistrate. There will never be avenues for advancement."

Tang Jingyun lowered his eyes and did not speak.

Yao Tao said: "A few days ago, Your Highness told me that schools should be set up in every village to let all the children of common people go to school. In the future, when these people complete their studies, they will be able to take part in the selection examination, select talents and appoint talents, and the outstanding ones will be officials. , no longer burdened by family status."

Tang Jingyun's eyes widened: "This is impossible."

Yao Tao spread his hands: "As long as His Highness Xiao Yu becomes the emperor, what is impossible?"

Tang Jingyun sighed: "Master Yao's thinking is naive, he is a deposed prince, he is on this small island, no one wants people, no money, no money, he fights against the emperor, and unconsciously shakes the tree, he is too overconfident. "

Yao Tao said: "It is not enough to rely on the people of Yazhou alone. Mr. Tang must not forget that there is King Liang, and there are many old ministers in the court. Given time, it may not be impossible. Besides, Mr. Tang is now at a loss. You can go back."

Tang Jingyun smiled wryly: "If I don't agree, next year today will be the day of my death. If I agree, I will die in the future."

Yao Tao said: "Your Majesty Tang, there is no need to be so pessimistic. The future may not be lifeless. Chaos in the Central Plains is already a foreseeable future. Who knows how long Xiao Yi can remain emperor?"

Tang Jingyun was silent for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, just listen to Master Yao."

Yao Tao was overjoyed: "Then welcome Master Tang."

In the autumn of the 15th year of Jingping, there was a mutiny in Yazhou, the governor Zhao Lun died, and the abolished prince Xiao Yu entered Yazhou.Although he has not claimed the title of king, he is already the de facto owner of the island.

When Min Chong returned to Yazhou with a boat full of gold and silver and more than a dozen large ships, he found that the sky in Yazhou had changed, and Xiao Yu really took over the island as king.
