Xiao Chenxuan had his own considerations. After the New Year, he started training with Han Zeli. At least he had a companion.

When Ma Zhao saw this, he was envious and jealous for the ten-thousandth time. Direct disciples were different. This brat of his was really disappointing.

Xiao Chenxuan had so much suffering that he just wanted to stand on the top of the mountains and roar, "We are all the same!"

Ma Zhao came to talk to Han Zeyu about something, and little An An ran to watch the black horse eating grass.

One day without seeing you feels like three years, and three days without seeing you makes me miss you so much.

The black horse is still as handsome, its fur is still smooth, its posture is still upright, and its tail is still so flicked...

“Ouch~”

Xiao Hei's tail-flashing movement froze, and he turned his horse's head, looked around, saw nothing, turned back, lowered his head, and continued to eat.

Little Ma Zhuoan, who was knocked to the ground by a tail, climbed up tenaciously.

It’s okay, it’s okay. He is just too short. It’s normal that Dark Horse can’t see him.

Han Zeyu, who was standing by the window, looked at the scene not far away and rolled his eyes in disgust.

He has awakened his dog-licking nature at such a young age. How did Ma Zhao educate his children?

He was watching the fun over here, while Ma Zhao had already started talking about serious matters with Su Shien over there.

"The capital has received a memorial from Xiao Hongjin. His Majesty is saying that Prince Rui's funeral must be held sooner or later and cannot be delayed any longer."

"What are the rules at Prince Rui's Mansion?"

"Xiao Hongjin seems to enjoy the feeling of being in control of everything. The Second Young Master is quite critical of this, while the Third Young Master is not fighting for it and is focused on currying favor."

Han Zeyu nodded. The Third Young Master really fits the public's stereotype of the "youngest son".

"Actually, I think the Third Young Master is the most suitable successor."

Ma Zhao expressed regret: "Your Majesty and I share the same views, but unfortunately the royal rules are there and cannot be violated."

After Prince Rui's death, the Crown Prince took power by default.

The rule passed down by our ancestors is to establish the eldest son as the heir. The title of Crown Prince is not only legitimate, but also in accordance with the rules.

In his early years, Prince Rui favored his youngest son, but he paid more attention to the careful training of his eldest son.

As the future heir of the palace, he will definitely not be a mediocre person.

As the overlord of the two southwestern provinces, the emperor does not want to see the local forces grow stronger.

The emperor certainly did not want to confer a title on Xiao Hongjin, but he did not have a good excuse to choose a new ruler for the two southwestern provinces.

Human desires are endless. At first, the emperor's idea was very simple, which was to make the two southwestern provinces pay taxes obediently.

Later, Han Zeyu intervened and, against his will, gradually cut off Prince Rui's financial resources.

At this time, the emperor was thinking again, it would be great if he could get rid of this big threat.

As a result, Su Shien was transferred to be the Tongpan of Shuzhou, and was assisted by Ma Zhao, Ye Qi and Fang Jun.

As expected, Han Zeyu accompanied Su Shien to take up the post, and less than two years later, Prince Rui passed away.

In the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, Han Zeyu is more effective than the turtle in the wishing well.

The first thing the emperor did at the beginning of the year was to pay for it out of his own pocket and order the clothing bureau to carefully make a set of extremely luxurious priest robes.

The Shangyi Bureau was responsible for making clothes specifically for members of the royal family, and the task of making robes was extremely rare.

Recalling the priest robes that had been hastily made last year, everyone immediately came up with an idea.

When there is a big move in the palace, the first person to know is definitely the Queen Mother.

To make clothes with kesi, the fabric takes eight years to weave, and its value is so expensive that it will make you question your life.

There were only two pieces of kesi in the palace. The empress dowager made a fan, the queen got a handkerchief, and the rest were sealed.

Based on the tacit understanding between an old couple, the Queen thought that His Majesty would secretly send the kesi products to auction to fill his private treasury, but she never expected that he would actually use them to make clothes.

The Queen Mother was not jealous, she was just afraid that the Emperor would be deceived by the evildoer.

Since ancient times, it has been easy for emperors to become obsessed with seeking immortality when they are old.

His Majesty the Emperor repeatedly emphasized: "I am only thirty-nine years old, in the prime of my life."

He had finally managed to outlast his uncle, so how could he follow in his footsteps?

The example of Prince Rui served as a warning to him at all times: don't force things, don't make trouble, and living a peaceful life until the end of one's life is better than anything else.

The emperor deliberately delayed for a while, and only after receiving the exact information from Ma Zhao did he finally issue an imperial edict to Xiao Hongjin.

He was asked to bury Prince Rui as soon as possible and to take the funeral seriously without any carelessness.

He has been buried in the earth for a long time, and now there is no trace of him alive or dead.

What should we do with the funeral without the real host? This really stumped the prince.

How about making a cenotaph? You can't just find someone else to replace him!

Arriving before the imperial edict was the emperor's secret order, instructing Ma Zhao to closely monitor every move of Prince Rui's mansion.

Han Zeyu asked Ma Zhao if they needed to attend the funeral, and Ma Zhao looked constipated.

If he were Xiao Hongjin, he would definitely not invite the murderer of his father.

Han Zeyu didn't like what he was saying. What does "father's murderer" mean? Could you please use the right words?

Prince Rui went in pursuit of eternal life. If everything went smoothly and he hadn't been shot in the head, he would have already arrived in another world and waved goodbye to the zombie army.

His outfit and hairstyle were not unusual; their world was very inclusive.

For example, if you mutate while acting as an extra on a film set, or if you mutate while cosplaying as a zombie prince, there is no need for too much explanation, everyone will figure it out on their own.

Su Shien felt that the situation was not optimistic. Based on his limited understanding of Xiao Hongjin, he believed that the other party would definitely invite him.
