Chapter 485: Too Much

But in fact, his situation is not optimistic, and he needs to make a decision as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if similar situations occur a few more times, he is afraid that all the property he has worked hard to save will end up in the hands of Zhu Xuntao.

"Did you find out?"

After catching Jin San, the prince and Xiao Jingzhan were in a very good mood.

They have been catching these people for so long, and they have always escaped before, and Zhu Xuntao has seen a lot of jokes.

Today, after catching these people, the prince felt that he could be proud in front of Zhu Xuntao.

If he doesn't do something practical to show Zhu Xuntao, Zhu Xuntao will still think that he, the prince, has no ability.

"You're pretty tough."

Even though they caught Jin San and the others and left several of them alive, Xiao Jingzhan was not as optimistic as the prince.

It's not easy to pry useful information out of these people.

If they hadn't been well prepared, these people would have committed suicide long ago. They were all like dead soldiers.

When Xiao Jingzhan thought that there was such a force hidden in the capital that he didn't understand, his face became even worse:

"Prince, do you think that after the smallpox incident, how many people in the world can bear the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people and do such a cruel thing to Yaoyao?"

Xiao Jingzhan said that because it was all true.

The victims of the disaster said they wanted to build a temple and repair a golden body for Zhu Xuntao, and they never just said words to make Zhu Xuntao happy.

Thanks to Zhu Xuntao's efforts and persistence, most people in the Yong Dynasty planted crops and caught up with the progress of spring plowing. They were not afraid of no food in autumn and starving to death.

Then these people who were no longer in danger of food shortage encountered smallpox attacks. When they thought that God wanted to cut off their way, Zhu Xuntao's cowpox suddenly appeared.

Therefore, after the people from all over the country were vaccinated against cowpox, they spontaneously built temples for Zhu Xuntao and

sculpted a Bodhisattva in Zhu Xuntao's appearance.

When everyone knelt down to pray for blessings, they all called this Bodhisattva the Goddess of Smallpox.

Someone dared to take the life of a person who was honored as a goddess by the people and worshipped as a god.

Unless the people of the Yong Dynasty never know what this person has done,

otherwise, he will end up with his grave dug up.

Xiao Jingzhan has always had many guesses about the mastermind behind this, but he has never come to a conclusion.

Xiao Jingzhan couldn't understand, Zhu Xuntao had done so many good things for the country and the people,

what kind of person would want to get rid of Zhu Xuntao for all the good things he had done?

"Are you suspicious?"

The prince's happy expression disappeared, and his expression was more serious than Xiao Jingzhan's

. "Because of the heavy snow last year, the situation of the Nanman was quite serious, and there have been several robberies and killings." "

Fortunately, my grandfather protected the people there, so there were not too many casualties."

"They don't have a person like Zhu Xuntao to recover their losses, so robbery and killing can't keep them alive."

When they really can't hold on any longer, instead of waiting to die, the Nanman will definitely invade the territory of the Great Yong Dynasty as Zhu Xuntao said.

Therefore, the more good things Zhu Xuntao does and the more he protects the peace of the Great Yong Dynasty, the more the Nanman will naturally not tolerate Zhu Xuntao, and it is not surprising that they want to get rid of Zhu Xuntao as soon as possible.

"Not necessarily."

Xiao Jingzhan's idea was different from the prince's.

"Nanman is indeed suspicious, but my own people are equally suspicious."

"How could that be? Who?"

The prince's face darkened. He was really unwilling to admit that there were still people in the Yong Dynasty who wanted to get rid of a person like Zhu Xuntao.

Based on what Zhu Xuntao had done, those who wanted to kill him and insisted on killing him must be heartless.

Xiao Jingzhan reminded the prince: "The more Yaoyao does to benefit the country and the people and stabilize the country, the more unshakable your position will be."

He never relaxed his attention on other princes, nor did he think that no matter how well the prince did as the crown prince, the other princes would give up their ambition to compete with each other.

Those princes were always his focus.

Besides Nan Man, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince are also suspects who could be so cruel to Yaoyao. Since

the Crown Prince did not mention these people, Xiao Jingzhan had to start the conversation.

"This..."

In the past, especially when he had not met Zhu Xuntao, the Crown Prince did not dare to relax for a moment,

and was extremely wary of his younger brothers, even the younger ones.

Because he never knew when these young brothers would suddenly grow up.

As for the prince brothers who had grown up and were of the same age as himself, the Crown Prince was even more cautious.

But this was before he met Zhu Xuntao. After meeting Zhu Xuntao,

the Crown Prince felt that no matter what he did, he was as if he had divine help.

Maybe it was because of this that the Crown Prince was less vigilant than before.

If Xiao Jingzhan hadn’t mentioned it today, the prince really couldn’t remember his brothers for a moment.

Smallpox ended in such a short time and with such a small number of deaths. In addition to Zhu Xuntao’s reputation spreading throughout the Great Yong Dynasty,

the prestige of the emperor and the prince among the people also reached a new peak.

As the most honorable and the highest-ranking person in the Great Yong Dynasty, it is not surprising that the emperor has a high prestige.

It’s like if there is a disaster somewhere in the Great Yong Dynasty and the people’s lives are not going well,

the people will spread that the emperor is not a people’s monarch, so God has punished him.

Similarly, the Great Yong Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous, and it must be the emperor’s credit.

The reason why the prince, as the crown prince, can obtain a prestige not much lower than that of the emperor in this matter

is entirely because everything arranged by Zhu Xuntao will pass through the prince’s hands.

Because Zhu Xuntao did not intervene directly, the prince became an additional link.

After everything was over, apart from Zhu Xuntao, the crown prince had the most praise, followed by Xiao Jingzhan.

The more stable the crown prince's position was, the worse it would be for other ambitious princes.

Therefore, getting rid of Zhu Xuntao became an urgent necessity for them.

As long as Zhu Xuntao died, the crown prince could still be as glorious as before, with everything going smoothly. With the help of Zhu Xuntao, he would be recognized by many people as the crown prince of the Yong Dynasty?

Therefore, only by killing Zhu Xuntao could other princes have a hope to compete with the crown prince for the throne, and not be hopeless.

As long as Zhu Xuntao was alive, the crown prince's position would be so stable that no one could shake it.

For this reason, apart from the fact that Nanman really couldn't stand the fact that the Great Yong Dynasty had such a talent as Zhu Xuntao,

only the prince's brothers couldn't stand Zhu Xuntao being alive and causing so many troubles.

"You're right, I was careless."
